After instructing the chanical clone to continue keeping watch, Pei Yan returned to the bedroom and took out that Origin Fragnt he had risked his life to seize from Raphael's body from his ring.
Feeling the energy constantly emanating from the fragnt in his hand, and looking at the severely corroded chanical left hand affected by it, Pei Yan couldn't help but feel a headache. He gently massaged his temple with his right hand and muttered, "Sis, you're not going to make swallow this thing like the other fragnts, are you?"
Although there was a precedent for swallowing fragnts of the Hell Plane, the death aura contained within this fragnt was worlds apart from the previous one. Even if Pei Yan was bold, he wouldn't dare to swallow it outright.
Soon, Lin Junzhao's teasing voice echoed in his mind, "If you're not afraid of death, you can try swallowing it directly. I guarantee you'll die instantly, not even the gods could save you!"
"If the gods can't save , isn't there you, Sis? Look, I followed your instructions and almost lost my life for this thing. It took three big buckets just to detoxify myself from it. You can't let work so hard for nothing, risking my life but only able to look, not eat." Pei Yan shalessly pleaded pitifully once more.
"Stop pretending to be pitiful when you've gotten a bargain. A fragnt containing the Origin Law is a rare opportunity, and you're so lucky to have such a huge gain at such a small cost in this remote place. Even I'm beginning to wonder if you really have so fortune on you!"
Upon hearing Lin Junzhao's words, Pei Yan realized the fragnt in his hand was indeed extraordinary. He was secretly pleased with his luck and didn't forget to flatter, "You're my greatest fortune!"
"Why don't you just hope all day for to leave your body!" Lin Junzhao's disdainful voice sounded.
"How could that be? My body is your ho. As long as you're not planning to harm your landlord, you can stay as long as you want!"
Pei Yan's obsequious attitude finally amused Lin Junzhao inside him. She chuckled and said, "I really can't understand how soone as stable as Pei Jin ended up with a talkative brother like you. All the caution must have gone to your sister." After her sigh, Lin Junzhao changed the subject and asked, "Do you rember what I once told you about the essence of the four-plane Origin?"
Pei Yan was stunned for a mont, then nodded and said, "I rember: Yin and Yang, Life and Death!"
"That's right. The Origin of the Hell Plane corresponds to death. This force doesn't only refer to the death of life but is the ultimate destination of all things, the force that obliterates everything!" Lin Junzhao patiently explained.
"The force of death that obliterates everything!" Pei Yan looked at the fragnt in his left palm with eyes glittering, swallowing hard, and said excitedly, "Are you saying that after I absorb this fragnt, I'll have the power to kill whoever I glare at?"
"What are you thinking! Never mind whether you can completely absorb this fragnt, even if you did, it's just one of the old demon's law-containing fragnts. Killing with a glance, I don't know where you got that idea." Lin Junzhao replied irritably.
Having a bucket of cold water poured over his fanciful dreams, Pei Yan smacked his lips at the fragnt and said, "Then what should I do with this thing? It's strange how this thing contains so much death aura, yet Raphael dared to fuse it with his heart and didn't fear sudden death!"
"They are part of the Demon Race, and the Demon God they speak of is the true origin of this world, an old fellow who loves to play god. If you wish to use this fragnt, you must pay a great price; it depends on whether you are willing or not!"
"What kind of price?"
"You will part with a portion of your body to transform into a demon body."
Upon hearing Lin Junzhao's words, Pei Yan furrowed his brows and, after a mont, spoke slowly, "Explain in detail."
"With my assistance, you can rge a portion of your body with this Origin Fragnt. To use this power smoothly, that part of your body will transform into a structure similar to that of a Demon Race." Having interacted with Pei Yan over this period, Lin Junzhao understood his skepticism and caution about changes to his body and hence explained patiently.
"Are you saying that after transformation, I could be like these Demon Race people, able to vaporize or crystallize?" Pei Yan asked further.
"Impossible. There is an essential difference between your bodies. Unless you're willing to give up your status as a normal human and completely transform into a Demon Race, but even if you were willing, I wouldn't have the capability to transform your entire body into a demon body, unless that old demon cooperates with ." Lin Junzhao directly dismissed the idea.
"What kind of improvent in my own strength would I have after transforming?"
"When you wish to exert power, you can simulate this force, propelling the law, and you'll possess a portion of the power of death! But I advise you not to dream of easily putting people to death. With the power contained within this fragnt's law, you could cause the life of soone weaker than you to wither quickly. Against equal foes, striking when their Qi Blood and ntal energy is half exhausted could have a significant effect, but in battles against stronger opponents, use caution, or you'll experience the backlash pain of the death force."
Lin Junzhao paused, then continued, "Of course, this Power of Law will increase as your strength grows. If you could further acquire other fragnts of the Hell's origin to complete this law fragnt, achieving the realm of fully controlling the power of death is not impossible." By the end, there was a trace of excitent in Lin Junzhao's tone, revealing her enthusiasm for this possibility.
"Can I place it into my chanical arm?"
"No, your chanical arm was transford by your power and could vanish at any ti. It's not part of your body's ridians."
"Oh, oh!" Seeing this path was blocked, Pei Yan chuckled, tossing the fragnt up and down. As the fragnt rose and fell, the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter. When it reached its highest point, he abruptly stood up, caught the descending fragnt, and decisively said, "Let's do it then, embed it into my right palm!"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!" Pei Yan spread his hand, looking at the fragnt in his palm with a sinister smile, "I want to beco strong enough that no one can manipulate my life, threaten my family, my friends. For this, I have already lost an arm and an eye. To beco stronger by sacrificing myself to the devil and becoming a monster? Hehehe! I've had this determination for a long ti; I just didn't think this day would co so soon. At this crucial mont, I'm even a bit excited—let's begin! I can't wait any longer!"
Finishing his words, Pei Yan, following Lin Junzhao's instructions in his mind, slowly cut open the palm of his right hand and carefully placed the fragnt onto the bleeding wound.
