Chapter 654: Second Tempering of the Body

Chu Nan turned his head with difficulty and his gaze landed on the distant space station and the fast spatial orbit that had broken.

If he could return there, there would be a large amount of air for him to enjoy.

However, how could he return?

If he was under the atmosphere, Chu Nan could naturally easily control the spatial energy to fly over.

However, now that he was in such an environment, he discovered a very serious problem.

Although he could control the surrounding spatial energy and was easier to control than the spatial energy under the atmosphere, he could not control this spatial energy to move his body.

After an accurate data analysis, Chu Nan quickly understood the reason.

He could fly in the atmosphere because while he was cultivating under the atmosphere, his Internal Breath had fused the spatial energy around him into it and maintained the same quality as the spatial energy in the outside world. This was why he could fly with his body.

Now that the spatial energy in the outside world had changed, the spatial energy fused into his meridians was still the same as the spatial energy under the atmosphere. It was impossible to maintain a complete consistency with the outside world, causing him to be unable to complete his flight in space.

It was not difficult to make the corresponding adjustments. He only needed to slightly adjust the Internal Breath in his body according to the situation of the spatial energy in space.

However, there was a problem that Chu Nan could not resolve now, and that was time.

With his powerful data ability, Chu Nan could use a very short period of time to analyze what adjustment his Internal Breath should make. However, if he wanted to completely adjust it successfully and fully fuse with the pure spatial energy in the outside world, it would take a lot of time.

Even if he completely adjusted it, it would still take a lot of time to fly back to the space station or even the nearest broken fast spatial orbit.

Various data flowed through Chu Nan’s mind and he quickly calculated that if he wanted to adjust his Internal Breath and allow his body to completely adapt to the change in spatial energy, he would need at least 379.768171 seconds.

He had just been blasted out of the fast spatial orbit by the shock wave. Now, he was floating further and further away from the fast spatial orbit at a constant extremely high speed.

Now, he was already more than 6,000 meters away from the fast spatial orbit. At his current speed, after waiting for 379.768171 seconds, the distance between him and the fast spatial orbit would probably exceed 20,000 meters!

Even if he still had the super high speed under the atmosphere after adjusting it, it would take more than ten seconds to fly 20,000 meters.

Could he last for nearly 400 seconds?

Chu Nan had never experienced such a situation and could not accurately calculate through the data, but he knew that he had no other choice.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Nan took a long breath. Although his nostrils still did not inhale any air, through this habitual action, he immediately abandoned all the useless thoughts in his mind and focused on adjusting his Internal Breath.

10 seconds.

His Internal Breath had already perfectly distributed on the surface of his body through every fine meridian and began to directly come into contact with the spatial energy in outer space.

30 seconds.

His Internal Breath and spatial energy finally reached an agreement. The first trace of spatial energy was fused into his Internal Breath and began to seep into the fine meridians.

60 seconds.

The spatial energy finally fused perfectly with his Internal Breath and completed a cycle in his meridians.

78 seconds.

Chu Nan felt the last trace of air in his lungs being exhausted. Be it his heart or blood circulation, they clearly slowed down.

100 seconds.

His Internal Breath fused with spatial energy and completed the second cycle of circulation. A trace of spatial energy seeped out of his meridians and into his flesh and began to cooperate with his Internal Breath to refine his body.

This process was almost identical to the preparation of Chu Nan’s body before he broke through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate.

However, compared to before, this work environment was even more difficult, the conditions were even more demanding, and time was even more pressing.

Most importantly, he did not have any chance to fail.

200 seconds.

Chu Nan had already begun to feel uncomfortable. His heart and blood circulation had slowed down by 37% compared to normal.

This change also seriously affected the control of his Internal Breath and the refinement of his body, causing the estimated refinement time to greatly increase.

At this moment, he had only completed less than 30% of the tempering of his body.

According to the current progress, it would take at least 800 seconds to complete the initial requirement of using spatial energy to fly.

Chu Nan threw away the trace of panic that had just appeared in his mind and continued to focus on adjusting his Internal Breath and controlling the spatial energy to maintain the most perfect circulation of his Internal Breath. He did not allow any mistakes.

500 seconds.

Chu Nan had completed 72% of the tempering of his body, but the last trace of air in his body had been exhausted. His heart had almost stopped beating and his blood circulation was almost stagnant.

Chu Nan felt his consciousness gradually blur. The circulation of his brain became slower and slower, and the control of his Internal Breath began to become precise and perfect.

He clearly felt his life force quickly flowing out of his body and even saw Death waving at him…

“This time… am I really going to die?”

The consciousness in Chu Nan’s mind slowly spun and countless illusions appeared in front of him. All kinds of memories quickly floated past.

There were countless scenes and countless people…

“I seem to have seen this scene before?”

In his daze, Chu Nan suddenly had this thought.

“Right, I’ve experienced close to death like this in the past…”

After this thought floated through his mind, Chu Nan suddenly seemed to have been woken up by something and his consciousness shook slightly.

547 seconds.

Chu Nan’s brain, which was equivalent to an A.I., relied on the last trace of consciousness to crazily spin and start to think of a way to save him in this situation.

It was almost impossible to continue controlling his Internal Breath to complete the refinement of his body. Before the refinement was completed, he would definitely die from lack of oxygen.

Now, his life force had been lost greatly because of lack of oxygen, unless…

Wait!

Life force?

A crazy thought that made him feel unbelievable seemed to have flashed through Chu Nan’s mind.

“Damn, at this point, what’s impossible? I don’t dare to try!”

Chu Nan cursed himself and completely focused his consciousness on one point. He used the last bit of control of his Internal Breath to activate it and mobilize the spatial energy that was tempering his body.

The Goddess’ Song cultivation method was activated.

A trace of spatial energy was quickly transformed into life force and fused into Chu Nan’s body.

He immediately felt that the speed at which his life force was flowing had slowed down a little, but it was still flowing in large amounts.

Clearly, the speed at which his life force was replenished could not compare to the speed at which it was lost.

Chu Nan did not have the time to calculate the difference. He focused the last bit of his consciousness and continued to control the spatial energy in his body. Finally, a small spiral formed at the heart of his chest.

The life spiral took shape and immediately began to transform the spatial energy outside his body into a life force that entered Chu Nan’s body.

This was not enough.

Chu Nan condensed his consciousness again and mobilized his Internal Breath to form another life spiral in his abdomen.

What he was doing now was actually the same as forcefully pulling Uncle Mu Luo back from death. He was using the characteristics of the life spiral to maintain his life force.

Soon, the second life spiral took shape and Chu Nan obtained another portion of life force.

However, this was still not enough to offset his quickly losing life force.

Chu Nan could only barely focus his mind and condense the life spiral again…
