Chapter 403 - 396: The 8th Chakra
The other figure—an old man of medium height with dark skin and a white turban wrapped around his head—corresponded to Shiva of the God Sanxiang. According to the data, this man cultivated Bosha Country’s Chakra Secret Skill. It was not the variant from the Northern Martial Alliance, but the purest form of the Chakra Skill.
It was said this man had pushed his mastery of the Chakra Dao to a terrifying level, even able to communicate with the Divine Realm and wield the destructive power of a Divine Spirit. His combat abilities were incredibly formidable, as if Shiva himself walked the earth, which was how he earned his title: Wheel of Destruction.
Among the Venerable Sanxiang, his destructive capabilities were considered the most outstanding.
Zhou Yuanjue’s gaze swept back and forth between the two. If possible, he would have liked to test his skills against both of them. But if he had to choose...
Zhou Yuanjue’s gaze finally landed on Ludi, the Wheel of Destruction. As his focus sharpened, his magnetic field locked onto the man as well.
Shiva—the strongest god in the Bosha Teaching. Both saint and demon, a being of endless destruction and boundless power, considered the symbol of destruction and rebirth. Zhou Yuanjue was very interested in seeing the abilities of his Deputy for himself.
Sensing the lock from Zhou Yuanjue’s magnetic field, Ludi’s perpetually sharp eyes narrowed. He immediately understood his opponent’s choice.
"Me?"
A smile touched Ludi’s dark face.
With a light tap of his feet, his body shot forward, and in an instant, he was standing before Zhou Yuanjue.
"He chose Venerable Ludi, the Wheel of Destruction!!"
"Excellent! Venerable Ludi is the earthly incarnation of the great god Shiva! No one in this world can defeat Shiva!"
"..."
A series of gasps and cheers erupted from the Bosha Country spectators, all of them thrilled to see Ludi take the field.
"You’re all mistaken. Venerable Ludi is not an incarnation of Shiva."
However, at that moment, a dissenting voice rose from among the spectators.
Everyone immediately turned to the speaker, glaring at him as if he were a blasphemer.
In the next moment, however, everyone froze. The man who had spoken was a first-rank noble of the Bosha Teaching and the supreme commander of this very border military district.
Furthermore, his eyes held no trace of disdain or insult. Instead, they burned with a profound fanaticism.
"Through endless cycles of Reincarnation, that supreme deity has never left the mortal world. Venerable Ludi has unlocked his sealed memories."
"He *is* the God himself!"
the officer declared unequivocally.
Hearing this, the crowd was utterly confused.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuanjue and Ludi were already facing each other from opposite sides of the border.
"Young man, I can feel the immense Energy within you. It is a Power that would shock even a ’God’."
"I—no, I should say, *we*—are very interested in you."
Ludi said to Zhou Yuanjue, a smile on his dark face.
"We?"
Hearing Ludi’s words, Zhou Yuanjue’s expression flickered as if he had remembered something.
"The human body and the world are wondrous things, especially for those of us who engage in Chakra Cultivation. We have a better understanding of their mysteries. To this day, we have yet to fully ascertain what is sealed within those seven treasure troves of the human body, each one clogged with impurities."
Ludi said with a smile. As he spoke, Zhou Yuanjue sensed a change in the other man’s body.
Below his lower abdomen, some kind of shackle seemed to break, releasing a hidden power. A blazing red ball of light appeared, looking like a wheel.
"Step by step, one ascends. It begins with the Bottom Chakra, which governs the instinct for survival, and from there, it’s like climbing the peaks of the Himalayas, ever upward."
One by one, wheel-like halos of light ignited within his body.
The abdomen, the navel, the heart, the throat, the brow, the crown of the head...
The six Chakras within his body were completely ignited. From his unassuming frame, a scorching torrent of life’s potential was being activated and released.
"Unlocking the crown Chakra means completely breaking the shackles of consciousness. It allows one to use incredible Divine Powers and strength—what you in Donghua call the Saint Awakening Realm."
"However, when I stood on the highest peak of the Himalayas, I discovered that the mysteries of the body and the universe went far beyond that."
Ludi said with a smile.
"Seven Chakras are not humanity’s limit. In the higher void, in the space that transcends the physical body, I found the Eighth Chakra."
"I opened it. And within, I found another me."
"Perhaps... it was me from a past life."
HUMMM!!
The next moment, outside Ludi’s body—in the empty space about three finger-widths above the crown of his head—a hidden reservoir of power was opened.
A Chakra in the form of a white, thousand-petaled lotus blossomed above his head.
In Bosha Country’s Chakra system, the human body has seven Chakras. Each one governs different bodily functions and conceals a person’s immense potential. By cultivating and unlocking these Chakras, one can unleash that potential and reach higher realms.
Unlocking all seven Chakras at once signifies that the body has entered the Saint Awakening Realm, where one’s Spirit and magnetic field transcend the physical form and can influence nature itself.
This was also the limit of the ancient Chakra Skill.
But Ludi had discovered an Eighth Chakra outside the body, taking a crucial step beyond all his predecessors.
From Saint Awakening to Celestial Phenomenon, he had shattered the limits of those who came before.
Ludi had opened this external Chakra.
"This Chakra... I call it the ’Brahma Wheel.’"
Ludi stated calmly. As he spoke, the Eighth Chakra flared open.
"Hm?!"
Zhou Yuanjue’s eyes narrowed. ’This Chakra is more like a node, connecting a person to nature through some alternative method. I wonder what kind of power he has borrowed from the Natural Magnetic Field through it. And why did he say he awakened memories of a past life within this node?’
The next moment, he understood.
Infused with the magnetic field pouring from the Eighth Chakra, Ludi’s body began to undergo a massive transformation.
His body, once of medium build, began to rapidly expand. His dark skin lightened at a rate visible to the naked eye. The white turban on his head burst, revealing his hair, which coiled into a high topknot while the rest cascaded down around his shoulders.
His cells were changing rapidly. The nature of this transformation was somewhat similar to the cellular mutation of an Arhat Golden Body. His fusion with the magnetic field of the Eighth Chakra had reached an incredibly intimate level...
After about ten seconds, before the shocked eyes of the crowd, Ludi’s appearance had completely changed.
He now possessed a tall, imposing figure with broad shoulders, perfect muscle definition, light-colored skin, and a handsome face worthy of a Celestial God.
Finally, a slit split open between his brows. Within the bloody crease, a vague, fleshy orb seemed to squirm, as if it were a third eye.
The people from Donghua were simply shocked by Ludi’s physical transformation. On the side of Bosha Country, however, some people were already prostrating themselves in terrified worship before his new form.
Because his current body and appearance were nearly identical to the legendary depictions of the god Shiva in the Bosha Teaching.
