471: Chapter 471 Injecting the Final Agent

Early the next morning.

When Chen Yi woke up, he found that Hua Liuli was already awake.

She didn't get up, but lay on her side, propping her head up with one hand, quietly watching him.

Morning light filtered through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating her stunningly beautiful face.

"Awake?"

Hua Liuli asked softly, her fingers naturally brushing through Chen Yi's forehead hair, "Did you sleep well?"

"With you by my side, how could I not sleep well?"

Chen Yi teased with a smile.

Hearing this, Hua Liuli suddenly leaned in and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Good morning kiss! Do you like it?"

"Naturally, I like it. I want one every day from now on, is that okay?"

"No problem!"

"The Queen's good morning kiss is truly something to look forward to!"

"Don't call me Queen anymore, the Demon Abyss Cult has long since disbanded—"

After about ten minutes of intimacy, it wasn't until the voices of The girls drifted in from outside the window that the two of them laughed, separated, and got up to get dressed.

At breakfast, Hua Liuli's demeanor was noticeably different.

She sat naturally beside Chen Yi, no longer keeping her distance as she had in the past, and would occasionally pick food for Chen Yi.

The other girls exchanged knowing glances, but no one pointed it out.

Everyone could see that Hua Liuli's inner knot had been untied.

After finishing breakfast, Chen Yi went alone to the Cultivate room beneath the Luo Family Manor.

"Liuli, Emilia!"

Chen Yi stopped at the doorway and said to the two women who had followed him, "No matter what happens next, don't let anyone disturb me, including yourselves!"

Hua Liuli's eyes narrowed: "Are you going to inject the final potion?"

Chen Yi nodded: "Yes! Only by doing this can I gain the power to contend with ZERO—"

Emilia frowned: "Do you need me to act as your Protector? Although you said not to disturb you, what if an accident happens—"

"There won't be any accidents!"

Chen Yi said with a comforting smile, "Don't worry, I wouldn't do something I wasn't sure about!"

Just kidding, the System had already given him the best plan, so what reason did he have not to believe it?

The two women looked at each other and finally nodded.

"You must be careful!"

"We'll wait for you to come out!"

"Mm!"

Chen Yi turned and walked into the Cultivate room, sat cross-legged in the center, and took out the final potion.

Chen Yi took a deep breath. Without hesitation, he gripped the syringe, aimed it at his left arm, closed his eyes, and plunged it in.

"Clang!"

A crisp shattering sound rang out.

Chen Yi opened his eyes and found that the syringe needle—had shattered!

It was like glass hitting a steel plate, shattering directly into several pieces.

He was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what had happened.

His current Physique was as high as 5020 points, which was more than 500 times that of a normal adult male!

With this level of physical strength, how could an ordinary metal needle possibly pierce it?

"This is really—a bit helpless!"

Chen Yi smiled bitterly and picked up the syringe to inspect it.

Fortunately, the designer had considered this situation.

The syringe had a sealed structure, so even if the needle broke, the liquid would not leak.

There was also an emergency design at the front; if it couldn't penetrate, one could press a button to activate the internal high-pressure injection device and force the liquid in.

But that was too crude; the liquid would spray everywhere, and there would be no guarantee it would all enter his body.

Chen Yi thought for a moment, then extended his right hand. He brought his index and middle fingers together, and spiritual power condensed at his fingertips, forming a pale golden blade of light.

"This is the only way."

He held his left arm out flat and gently sliced it with the light blade.

Instantly, a neat incision about two centimeters long and half a centimeter deep was cut.

There was no bleeding; the light blade had cauterized the edges of the wound with high heat while cutting, and it also prevented the liquid from being diluted by blood.

Chen Yi picked up the syringe, aimed the broken needle at the incision, and pressed the injection button.

"Pfft—"

The emerald green liquid was forced into the wound under high pressure and instantly seeped into his body.

Then, the pain arrived!

Chen Yi felt every cell in his body being torn apart, reorganized, torn apart again, and reorganized again!

His bones creaked under the overwhelming pressure, his muscle fibers felt like they were being pulled out and stuffed back in one by one by invisible hands, his internal organs were spasming violently, and his brain felt like it had been thrown into a blender.

"Arghhh—"

Chen Yi let out a muffled groan, his forehead instantly covered in cold sweat, and veins bulged.

He gritted his teeth, his nails digging deep into his palms, and blood seeped from between his fingers.

But this bit of pain was insignificant compared to the agonizing pain inside his body.

This was the price of a Breakthrough in the shackles of life.

Just as Chen Yi was about to lose consciousness, the System's prompt suddenly rang out.

[Ding! Detected that the Host has injected an incomplete version of the final potion!]

[This potion has a high probability of causing the Host to directly transform into a Demonic Beast, causing irreversible loss!]

[It is recommended that the Host consume 1000 Enhancement Points to clear the effects of this potion!]

[Ding! Detected that the Host's Physique and spiritual power meet the requirements for the final transformation!]

[The Host can consume 4000 Enhancement Points to strengthen the final potion in the body and upgrade it to the final version!]

Chen Yi's consciousness struggled to focus amidst the agonizing pain.

Clear it?

No, he hadn't come this far just to give up!

"Consume! Upgrade it to the final version for me!"

[Ding! Strengthening in progress—]

The moment the strengthening began, Chen Yi thought the previous pain had been the limit.

He was wrong!

A pain even deeper into his bones instantly swept through his entire body!

If the previous pain was reconstruction at the cellular level, then the current pain was reshaping at the Soul level!

Chen Yi felt his consciousness being torn into countless fragments, each fragment experiencing different pains in different times and spaces.

Some were being burned by flames, some were being frozen and cracked by ice, some were enduring death by a thousand cuts, and some were experiencing being smashed to pieces—

And all these pains eventually converged back into his main consciousness; it was crueler than the most painful torture!

"Arghhhhh—"

Chen Yi finally couldn't help but scream, his body uncontrollably curling up and rolling violently on the floor.

The powerful force caused the Cultivate room to shake repeatedly.

Outside the Cultivate room, everyone waiting felt the vibrations.

"Chen Yi!"

Lin Mengxue's face turned pale, and she was about to rush in.

"Don't move!"

Hua Liuli and Emilia stopped her at the same time.

"But he's screaming!"

Su Taotao was also anxious, "We have to go in and check!"

"Trust him! This is a process he must go through; if we go in, it will only distract him and might even interfere with the strengthening!"

"The strengthening process of the final potion is extremely dangerous; any external interference could lead to failure!"

"If it fails—it means complete demonization, with no possibility of recovery!"

These words silenced all The girls, and they could only clench their hands tightly, praying for the safety of the person inside.

Inside the Cultivate room, Chen Yi's screams continued for a full ten minutes, then gradually weakened.

It wasn't because the pain had lessened, but because his vocal cords had been torn, and he could no longer make a sound—

Such extreme pain was simply not something a human could endure!
