This spiritual essence.
Following the weakening of the Burning World Red Lotus, it had become increasingly fragile.
Nevertheless.
It persisted.
This spiritual essence had never contained even a trace of spiritual wisdom from its inception, nor was it capable of resurrecting that formidable entity!
Perhaps, as the Burning World Red Lotus gradually recuperated, this minute spiritual essence would give rise to a fresh spiritual wisdom and transform into a completely new life form.
Yet.
From Jiang Chen's perspective.
It seemed more probable that this spiritual essence merely represented a manifestation of karma.
"Utilizing the Burning World Red Lotus might lead to even more fearsome karma!"
"The Third Step of the Cultivation Path's Void Tribulation Realm sounds incredibly impressive just by its name!"
"I'm still uncertain about the various realms within the Second Step."
"However!"
"If the protagonist has already been vanquished, what further dread could karma possibly hold!?"
A cold smirk materialized at the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth!
Without delay.
"System!"
"Activate the Burning World Red Lotus!"
Jiang Chen concentrated his thoughts and issued the command to the system, unhesitatingly.
[Ding! You have opted to utilize the Burning World Red Lotus!]
[Ding! Added to the 'Heaven-Defying Fate Changer' category!]
As the two system prompts resounded,
The withered lotus on the panel vanished, materializing directly within Jiang Chen's dantian.
Suddenly!
Jiang Chen experienced a sensation akin to a warm, smooth jade nestled in his dantian.
The Burning World Red Lotus emanated a gentle warmth, permeating every part of his body, his internal organs, and particularly his meridians and dantian, which held the utmost significance.
This sensation arrived and departed fleetingly.
Nonetheless, following this unremarkable transformation,
Jiang Chen discerned that his body had undergone a prodigious metamorphosis!
Primarily,
He possessed an extraordinarily mystical perceptive ability concerning the plants in his surroundings.
With a mere sweep of his divine sense, he could ascertain the medicinal properties of various spiritual plants.
He could approximately determine which spiritual plants could be combined with others to yield distinctive effects.
In addition to this,
Following the transformation by the Burning World Red Lotus,
The Mysterious Platform within Jiang Chen's dantian, already of the highest grade, attained an even more flawless state, with virtually no imperfections to detect.
Consequently, the quality and quantity of his Yuan Power experienced an increase!
The strength of his physical body and the rate at which he recovered from injuries also demonstrated a substantial enhancement.
Most importantly,
Jiang Chen realized that his aptitude for cultivation had grown as well!
Specifically, he exhibited a greater affinity for fire-based cultivation techniques and secret arts!
This did not imply that his aptitude for other types of cultivation methods had diminished.
For example, his affinity for water-based and ice-based cultivation had also progressed, albeit not as dramatically as his aptitude for fire-based cultivation.
"Unbelievable!"
"So this is Lin Feng's trump card?"
"No wonder the system labels it as 'Heaven-Defying Fate Changer'! Hehe, it's mine now!"
"System! Display my attribute panel!"
Jiang Chen's eyes widened with excitement, feeling as though he had been reborn. He couldn't help but reveal his own panel!

"My true battle power has reached the Middle-stage Mysterious Platform+!"
"Amazing, I can't believe the Burning World Red Lotus has directly increased my battle power by an entire minor realm!"
"And this is just in its severely weakened state. If it's restored in the future, won't my battle power become even more terrifying?"
"..."
Jiang Chen gazed at his attributes, pleasantly surprised by what he saw.
It should be worth mentioning that the higher a cultivator's realm, the larger the gap between each realm.
In the Mysterious Platform realm, the gap between minor realms was much more significant than that of the Spiritual Awakening realm.
Thus,
The fact that the Burning World Red Lotus in its current state could increase battle power by a single minor realm was already an extraordinary feat.
"Armed with the Burning World Red Lotus,"
"Next time I face a protagonist, I'll have even greater resources to handle them!"
"..."
Contemplating this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel slightly apprehensive.
With nearly six thousand points of Black Heavenly Fate Value,
What kind of protagonist would he come across?
And when would their paths cross?
"Regardless!"
"When the enemy approaches, we shall face them head-on. We'll tackle that obstacle when it arises!"
"All I must do is to give my utmost effort and strive for excellence!"
Jiang Chen inhaled deeply, then gazed upon Lin Feng's lifeless body.
With a gentle flick of his sword, he sent a storage ring soaring into the air.
Mid-flight.
An icy mist cleansed the storage ring before it descended into Jiang Chen's grasp.
The following instant.
His divine sense probed into the storage ring.
The contents inside were swiftly revealed.
Truth be told, there wasn't an abundance inside.
Besides the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records and its associated secret key, only a few miscellaneous items remained.
The majority of opportunities that once belonged to Lin Feng had already been eradicated or seized by Jiang Chen.
The scant spiritual stones and low-grade spiritual plants that were left had also been exhausted by Lin Feng during his cultivation.
"Thousand Green Pill Heart Records!"
"Now that I possess a Medicinal Spirit Body, mastering the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records will be an effortless task for me."
"However, as the esteemed and honorable eldest young master, I must not learn it covertly."
"I shall bring it back first!"
Jiang Chen smiled before examining the battlefield.
He gathered the storage artifacts belonging to Zhou Yihe and the others, placing their relics inside.
Just then.
"Nephew!"
"Are you alright?"
"What occurred? And where is Lin Feng?"
The voice of his uncle, Jiang Xingtai, echoed from a kilometer away.
"I am unharmed!"
Jiang Chen responded loudly, "I have already dealt with Lin Feng!"
"What!"
"That is marvelous!"
Jiang Xingtai exclaimed in delight, "We will be there momentarily!"
Shortly after.
Jiang Xingtai arrived at the battlefield with Zhou Ruiyu.
Trailing behind them, a group of Spiritual Awakening realm cultivators from the Zhou Clan arrived, albeit somewhat belatedly.
"Uncle!"
"Weren't you supposed to escort Patriarch Zhou back for medical attention?"
Jiang Chen feigned confusion upon seeing that Zhou Ruiyu, who had sustained severe injuries, had also arrived.
In truth, he was well aware that Zhou Ruiyu would be unwilling to depart so readily.
As anticipated.
"Thank you for your concern, Nephew Jiang Chen."
"I should indeed return to tend to my wounds. However, I couldn't find peace until I witnessed Lin Feng's demise with my own eyes!"
"That's why I requested Brother Xingtai to accompany me here!"
"Now that I see this despicable Lin Feng has met his end, the bitterness in my heart has finally subsided!"
Zhou Ruiyu elaborated, then gazed at Lin Feng's lifeless body on the ground, suddenly experiencing an overwhelming sense of relief!
It appeared that not only was Zhou Yihe's vengeance fulfilled.
But his entire being, even his future, had become unexpectedly clear and luminous.
"Hahaha!"
Jiang Xingtai roared with laughter, "Lin Feng was a devious individual, and today we have finally vanquished him. It's truly a weight lifted off our shoulders!"
"Regrettably, I misjudged his character."
"Patriarch Zhou, I apologize for rescuing him without understanding the situation back then."
"After I vanquished Lin Feng, I discovered these keepsakes belonging to Zhou Yihe and the others."
Jiang Chen sighed and presented some storage rings to Zhou Ruiyu.
"Thank you sincerely, Nephew Jiang Chen!"
"If it weren't for your intervention today, I would have perished amidst Lin Feng's flames."
"Now, you have also assisted me in retrieving my grandson's mementos. I am truly indebted!"
"In the future, if Nephew Jiang Chen has any requests, I, Zhou Ruiyu, will undoubtedly do everything in my power to help you!"
Zhou Ruiyu appeared deeply grateful and, in spite of his injuries, bowed respectfully to Jiang Chen.
