Star Brilliance burning from within to without; everything from the heart to the skin would be destroyed; this was something unpreventable and irreversible. Therefore, why was he still alive?
The Black Dragon contained its shock and awe; slowly drifting forwards.
Accompanying the movement of its massive body, a chill wind emerged within the underground space.
The wind stirred up the blood corals, with the broiling blood creating a white mist that swept away the wretched bloody foam that had covered Chen Chang Sheng’s visage, revealing the image below.
The Star Brilliance had indeed erupted from within to without; most of his internal organs had been severely damaged.
But within his chest, something continued beating away strongly.
His heart was still strongly beating.
The Black Dragon’s pupils once again shrunk tightly.
It knew of the human heart’s form.
But it had never seen such a clean and pure heart.
The blood stains on the surface of the heart would disperse to one side on every beat, revealing the heart’s original appearance.
That was a clean, glass-like, pink coloured heart; there was nothing revolting about it at all, akin to a fruit that had been cleansed within a stream for some time.
The Black Dragon was shocked, akin to having seen a Desert Bone Dragon.
Chen Chang Sheng’s muscle, skin and bone had been destroyed; the Star Brilliance continued burning, continued destroying his body, yet, why was this internal part of him untouched, what was this heart made of? Why was it completely undamaged?
The Black Dragon’s gaze fell upon the bloody corals and sweltering blood, feeling stranger as time passed. This grisly scene did nothing to arouse its disgust – True Nobles of the dragon tribe did not feed upon beings that had intelligence – the surrounding flesh and blood did not seem like flesh and blood, but felt akin to something else.
That’s correct; corals; glass; clean; clear.
The Black Dragon once again turned its gaze upon Chen Chang Sheng’s heart, dimly understanding something.
Purification through Starlight, washed away impurity, leaving behind the pure, the clean. Purification was something a cultivator continued for their entire life, pursuing a realm of perfection: The Immaculate.
Chen Chang Sheng’s body was unusual, and had a lot of unexplainable factors, such as his meridians that were split into nine. Maybe his blood, flesh and bone were also different, or perhaps… naturally immaculate; even if external factors such as food and air had added some impurity, it would have been minute and upon Purification through Starlight, it would have been purified within an instant.
Then what else could the Starlight purify?
Starlight, upon coming into contact with something hued in colour, could reveal its own, but upon coming into contact with something crystal-clear, what could it reveal?
Something crystal-clear, did not have any colour.
The Starlight naturally continued flowing.
From Spring till now, Chen Chang Sheng had guided Starlight for Purification nightly, the Starlight had no effect on his skin or hair, nor did it transform his flesh and bone; it had directly entered his body, triggering a link between the macroscopic and microscopic Heaven and Earth, arriving before his Ethereal Palace.
The crooked Ethereal Opening had a palace.
This was the Ethereal Palace.
