Chapter 423 Soul-breaking Spell
He opened his eyes and realized that he was lying on the floor of the laboratory. The equipment around him was still humming faintly. There was silence all around, as if time had stopped at this moment.
He tried to sit up, but the discomfort in his body froze him. The feeling was very strange, as if every inch of his skin was undergoing some strange changes. He subconsciously reached out to touch his arm, but he touched something that made him feel incredible - a layer of thick, rough hair.
"How is this possible?" Lin Nan was shocked and quickly looked down at his arm. He saw that a layer of thick black hair had grown on his originally smooth skin. The hair seemed to grow from deep inside the body, hard and prickly.
Lin Nan's breathing quickened, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably. He could hardly believe his eyes, as the hairs seemed to have life in front of him, continuing to grow on their own, gradually spreading to his palms, wrists, and even climbing onto the back of his hands.
"What on earth is going on..." Lin Nan was filled with fear and confusion. He barely stood up, but the heaviness of his body made it almost impossible for him to stand. Every movement was accompanied by that unsettling friction, as if the hairs were gradually taking over his body.
He stumbled to a mirror in the laboratory, and when he saw his reflection in the mirror, he could hardly recognize the monster-like figure. The originally clear face was now covered with a dense layer of black hair, and the skin around the eye sockets began to show strange changes, as if there was a beast-like light flashing deep in the eyeballs.
"This is not me..." Lin Nan whispered to himself. His hand trembled as it reached out to the reflection in the mirror. His fingertips touched the cold glass, but the rough hair on his palm reminded him that all this was so real.
"I can't... I can't become like this!" Lin Nan suddenly realized that if he didn't stop this change as soon as possible, he might completely lose his humanity and even become some kind of monster. A strong desire to survive arose in his heart. No matter what happened, he couldn't let this force control him.
But just as he was trying to find a solution, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his mind, as if something was invading his mind. The voice was low and bewitching, as if it kept whispering in his mind, with some irresistible temptation.
"Accept it...you will become stronger...give up the meaningless struggle..."
Lin Nan shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel these voices. He knew that these were definitely not his own thoughts, but that the power was trying to erode his will. The power seemed to be inducing him to accept the changes in his body and accept the unknown darkness.
"No, I won't give in!" The voice echoed in the laboratory. He forced himself to calm down and tried to concentrate on finding the answer. He knew that the only hope was to rely on the equipment in the laboratory to find out the source of this power and try to reverse the change.
He trembled and started the energy detection device again. This time, he adjusted all the detection parameters to the highest level, trying to detect the true face of the power from deep inside his body. The constantly flashing dots and jumping numbers on the screen made him more and more nervous, and every second seemed so long.
Finally, a shocking set of data appeared on the screen. Lin Nan saw that the power had been deeply embedded in his gene chain and even began to change his cell structure. What was worse was that this change was accelerating, as if an irreversible mutation was happening in his body.
Lin Nan felt a chill in his heart. This was not just a simple energy erosion, but a more complex genetic mutation. This mutation might be caused by the influence of the venom, but it was more likely that the power of the Chaos Realm was at work. The energy in that realm had penetrated into his body and began to change his genes.
"We must stop this change..." Lin Nan gritted his teeth, his eyes full of determination. He knew that he didn't have much time, and he might completely lose his humanity, or even be swallowed by this power.
He quickly activated the gene repair equipment in the laboratory to try to reverse the mutation in his body. The equipment emitted a faint humming sound and began to scan and analyze his body. Lin Nan stared at the screen nervously, his heart filled with anticipation and anxiety.
However, a few minutes later, the instrument sounded an alarm and a red warning appeared on the screen: "The gene mutation is too complex and the repair procedure failed."
Lin Nan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He knew that this change was beyond the capabilities of modern technology. Now he seemed to be trapped in an unsolvable maze, with all the ways out blocked.
"Is there really no other way?" There was deep despair in his voice. He felt the power in his body growing, his vision gradually blurred, and the whisper in his ear sounded again, this time clearer and more irresistible.
"Give it up... accept this power... you will no longer be a human being, but a being beyond human..."
Lin Nan's will began to waver, and his thoughts became confused. He knew he was on the verge of collapse, and if he didn't take action, he would completely lose himself. He suddenly thought of an ancient legend in his family - a forbidden technique called "Soul Breaking Technique". It is said that this technique can cut off the connection between the soul and the body and completely seal any power in the body. Although the price is extremely heavy, it may be his only hope now.
"I... have no choice." A hint of determination flashed in Lin Nan's eyes. He knew that this technique might cause irreversible damage to him, and might even cause him to completely lose part of his soul. But at this moment, he had no choice. This power had already forced him into a corner. Then he sat cross-legged on the floor of the laboratory and began to chant the soul-breaking spell that was passed down in his family. This spell was full of ancient aura, and every syllable carried a heavy power, as if communicating with heaven and earth.
As the spell progressed, Lin Nan felt the power in his body gradually being suppressed, and the hair seemed to be restrained by some invisible force and gradually stopped growing. The pain also eased, but at the same time, Lin Nan felt as if his consciousness was being pulled out of his body, gradually falling into a boundless emptiness.
"Can't stop...I must finish it..." Lin Nan kept reminding himself in his heart. He knew that if he stopped halfway, his soul might be trapped in this darkness forever and he would never be able to return to his body.
The power of the spell gradually increased, and Lin Nan's body began to tremble, as if his soul was being torn apart. He felt the power in his body frantically resisting, trying to break free from the spell, not allowing himself to waver in the slightest.
