First, the Heavenly Eyes began to pulse and thrum with power. In their brilliance, they extended threads of radiant energy that reached out to the neonate Hydra within him. The nine-headed beast, once separate and slumbering deep within, stirred to life. Slowly, the Hydra began to dissolve, its once fearsome form breaking apart and reforming into something more integral.
The heads, the bodies, the scales—all of it shifted into a vascular system of pure energy, flowing with life. The system pulsed, flickering between nine distinct forms—each one a reflection of a different primordial bloodline.
Each flicker was more intense, more vibrant, as the power grew within it.
Next, the nine primordial bloodlines that coursed through him—once fragmented and dormant—came alive. They joined the newly formed vascular system, fusing together in a seamless flow of power. As they circulated, the system began to solidify, though it continued to shift between its nine forms, each reflecting the unique nature of the bloodline.
This newfound system gave life to his body, though it was still ethereal, constantly shifting and evolving.
Then, Yan Jin's cultivation altar—the foundation of his strength—began to tremble and crack. The old, worn form of the altar fell away as it reshaped itself into something entirely new. Twelve immense pillars rose from its core, towering high and radiating immense energy. At the center of the pillars stood a towering figure, a Raksha.
Its form was humanoid yet monstrous, with rippling muscles, horns, and a terrifying visage that exuded raw power and dominance.
Around the Raksha, nine totems formed, each representing one of the primordial bloodlines that now flowed within Yan Jin. These totems glowed with an ancient power, their symbols spinning and intertwining as they synchronized with his cultivation.
Finally, Yan Jin's soul was drawn into the center of this transformation. His essence merged with the Raksha figure, and as the two became one, the monstrous form was given life. The Raksha took on a semblance of Yan Jin's consciousness, its eyes burning with the same celestial blue glow of the Heavenly Eyes.
The nine totems around him began to rotate, faster and faster, each one resonating with the power of its respective bloodline. The transformation process was reaching its apex. Energy surged through the entire system, the nine bloodlines harmonizing with the Heavenly Eyes and his cultivation altar.
Seraph—Light and Dark Duality: The fusion of both light and darkness, Yan Jin inherited the twin powers of the Seraph. With the light, he could heal, purify, and destroy with radiant energy. With the dark, he could manipulate shadows, drain vitality, and unleash devastating attacks that consumed all in their path.
Red Spider Lily—Eternity: The power of the eternal, granting Yan Jin a mysterious connection to time and life itself. With this bloodline, he could extend his own lifespan, heal rapidly, and even manipulate the life force of others, granting or taking away their vitality.
As the knowledge flooded his mind, Yan Jin understood the full scope of the Heretical God frame. It was the ultimate vessel, designed to perfectly balance and wield the most powerful bloodlines in existence. Each of these nine bloodlines brought with it not only power but responsibility of control, balance, and dominance.
The world would bow to him, but only if he could master the overwhelming forces within him.
As the cosmic maelstrom around him began to calm, Yan Jin's body completed its reconstruction. He was an astral being, a manifestation of cosmic power, with the Heretical God frame now fully awakened. The nine totems representing his bloodlines hovered around him, each glowing with its respective energy.
Yan Jin's newly reconstructed body, still shimmering with astral light, began to grow rapidly. His infant-like form expanded and matured, progressing through childhood, adolescence, and into the prime of his teen years within moments.
Behind him, twelve radiant halos appeared in succession, each pulsing with energy that resonated with the cosmos. These halos were the manifestation of his perfected celestial form, of the purification realm. Each halo was a representation of the harmonious balance of his nine primordial bloodlines, and they revolved behind his Raksha-like figure, casting a divine glow throughout the chamber.
Yan Jin, now a Perfect Celestial, felt the immense power coursing through him, his aura expanding outward like an endless ocean of energy.
But this was only the beginning.
Now, it was time to charge into the Resonance Realm.
