Chapter 189: Heavenly Endowed Eldritch Tattoos, A Surge of Power (3)

His soul is innately powerful indeed, allowing him to easily resist the pressure of the Eldritch Progenitor. The armored giant by his side was inwardly impressed. If Wu Yuan can sense the presence of the Eldritch Progenitor, then with my aid, there is a promising chance of establishing fourth-degree eldritch tattoos.

The giant was well aware that natural talent was just the initial step; the ability to perceive the Eldritch Progenitor was the crucial part.

If he fails, then Ill get him to visualize the Great Eldritch Dharma Body. With his talent, success will not be difficult. But his hopes of attaining fourth-degree eldritch tattoos will diminish greatly.

Eldritch tattoos were divided into nine degrees. While fifth-degree eldritch tattoos were commendable and reaching the Shambhala phase was feasible, ones cultivation path would undoubtedly become more challenging down the line. The armored giant fervently wished for Wu Yuan to succeed on his first attempt and form fourth-degree eldritch tattoos.

Hou Tu! Eldritch Progenitor! The Earth! Wu Yuan's heart was enveloped in tranquility so profound that it seemed to erase all troubles and wash away the memories of his past and present life. It was as if all thoughts had vanished, leaving only the image of the Eldritch Progenitor imprinted in his mind.

Through that ethereal image, his consciousness began to flutter, detaching from his physical form. In an instant, he traversed vast lands and crossed endless cosmos, leaping from one world to another, until he found himself in an unimaginably vast void.

In this void, countless worlds flowed along like numerous boats on a river, with no beginning or end in sight. And there, at the end of the void, stood the towering figure of the Eldritch Progenitor. Clad in an earthy-yellow robe and bearing seven arms on her back, she commanded a presence that dwarfed the river of worlds. Her motherly gaze swept over one world after another, warming the beings of countless worlds

The Eldritch Progenitor! Is this Hou Tu? Wu Yuan couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart. Though this thread of consciousness was weak, he could clearly perceive her form. It was as though an eternity had passed in that single moment when her gaze swept over countless worlds, including Wu Yuan.

And then, a smile graced the compassionate face of the Eldritch Progenitor.

Hm? Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu just smiled? Wu Yuan was taken aback. This smile was perhaps meant for the countless beings in the multitudes of worlds. Yet, he had a vague sense that the Eldritch Progenitor... was smiling at him.

In an explosion of flashes, Wu Yuan felt as if everything he had experienced was nothing more than a dream, an illusion fading rapidly from his memory.

In the grand hall, under the image of the Eldritch Progenitor, the black-armored giant stared at Wu Yuan in complete disbelief.

A surge of brilliance erupted from the portrait. Then, mysterious tattoos materialized on Wu Yuan's skin, then quickly sank into his flesh, as though merged with his body. Simultaneously, streams of earthy-yellow power coalesced in the air, forming cryptic tattoos before binding to Wu Yuan's figure and coursing into his body.

On Wu Yuans back, numerous indistinct arms materialized, and across his chest, two serpentine illusions coiled. Surrounding him, a myriad of earthy-yellow rays shimmered with an incandescent brilliance.

Why was it termed heavenly endowed? Eldritch Progenitors wielded the authority of the natural order of heaven and earth, controlling a part of the heavens. To be endowed by the heavens meant that in the early stages of cultivation, one established a connection with the Eldritch Progenitor through the boundless expanse of space. Heavenly endowment was granted through the intricate workings of destiny, resulting in the natural formation of eldritch tattoos, and the inheritance of techniques.

However, despite the countless worlds and beings that prayed to the Eldritch Progenitors, only a minuscule number had ever received a response from them

And yet, this Wu Yuan has managed to secure their favor on his very first attempt. Could it be that his lineage holds a deep-rooted connection to the eldritch bloodline?

The armored giant was perplexed. But instead of dwelling on the matter, he chose to let it go.

The reason is irrelevant. From this moment forward, Wu Yuan is a member of the Hou Feng Tribe. The black-armored giant cast a glance at Wu Yuan. Although he has received heavenly endowed eldritch tattoos, he has not yet reached the limits of his human body, hence he cannot begin the next step of cultivation yet. However, the mere nurturing by Earth ether alone has caused his physical constitution to improve dramatically.

Surrounding Wu Yuan were intricate and sacred tattoos. They merged with his body, infusing him with waves of earthy-yellow power. Wu Yuans physical constitution began to undergo a rapid transformation, an unprecedented rate of progression that defied the imagination. Ordinarily, such dramatic changes in a martial artist's physique would lead to its collapse, yet Wu Yuan's body remained resilient and intact. This was the remarkable nature of the eldritch warrior cultivation teachings.

Six hours swiftly slipped away, yet Wu Yuans eyes remained shut as he absorbed the mysterious power, yet to awaken.

The black-armored giant waited patiently. He understood very well that the initial condensation of the eldritch tattoos would determine the degree of the eldritch tattoo and therefore the individual's potential. The longer the process took, the more powerful one would become.

Hm? The black-armored giant furrowed its brow. All failed? Not a single one made it past the sixth level? Their comprehension aptitudes are sorely lacking. If they were better, I wouldn't mind paying a small price to cultivate another eldritch.

Well it makes sense, I was simply too greedy. It's already a miracle that someone like Wu Yuan was born. To find another potential eldritch? The odds are slim. The black-armored giant remained unfazed.

He was immensely satisfied with Wu Yuan.

Whysee's Thoughts

Hey everyone, thank you so much for your feedback yesterday, and I'm really sorry about the hiccups with unlocking the chapters.

Regarding the naming of terms, I'll make sure to reach out to others for input on whether a term holds deeper cultural significance or if it's just something the author made up. I'll also steer clear of using English terms that already have established meanings, unless it's a direct translation.

I'm incredibly grateful for all your wonderful support, and I'll do better next time!
