Chapter 6456 Astral Arm Switches Masters

“Fei Shuang, think this through. There is only a thirty percent chance of success. If it fails, you die.”

Within an isolated space created by the Earth Cauldron, Long Chen looked at Fei Shuang gravely.

“Thirty percent?” Fei Shuang replied, her tone resolute. “Even if it were one percent, I’d still try. Long Chen, go ahead. I’ll bear whatever comes.”

Her eyes were steady, her will unshaken.

Long Chen had proposed something shocking—replacing Fei Shuang’s missing arm with Bing Yi’s Astral Arm.

The moment Long Chen proposed such a thing, everyone was stunned. Only now did they realize just how far he had planned ahead. He had cut off Bing Yi’s arm not simply for revenge.

Fei Shuang was excited by the prospect, but Yue Xiaoqian was worried.

That Astral Arm was covered in dense astral runes and overflowing with power. It even contained a fragment of Bing Yi’s will. One mistake, and Fei Shuang would be devoured from within.

Still, seeing the spark of hope ignite in Fei Shuang’s eyes, Yue Xiaoqian couldn’t bring herself to bring up her concern. For someone as proud as Fei Shuang, being surpassed by others after losing an arm was a humiliation worse than death.

Fei Shuang didn’t hesitate. She accepted immediately, and now Long Chen laid out the risks in detail.

Still, the danger didn’t deter her in the slightest. A thirty percent chance of survival was already enough to make her overjoyed.

Seeing her determination, Long Chen nodded. Since Fei Shuang wasn’t afraid, their odds of success had just increased by another ten percent.

Long Chen said, “I can help you suppress the Astral Arm’s power, but you need to conquer its will on your own. Only by subduing it can you refine and unleash its astral runes. Remember—Bing Yi’s cultivation essence was condensed into this arm. It was essentially her divine weapon, so her soul imprint within it is extremely strong.”

“I grew up alone and had to make my way through this world myself. Everything I have, I earned with my own blood, sweat, and tears. Perhaps my innate talent is inferior to Bing Yi’s, but my will has never faltered, not even after walking the edge of life and death countless times,” Fei Shuang replied.

“Good, then we’ll start!” Long Chen nodded.

Bing Yi’s severed arm floated between them. It was as hard as divine steel and glowing with changing astral runes.

The Astral Arm was incredibly powerful, not inferior to a Divine Sovereign magical item in the slightest. In a sense, it was Bing Yi’s second life. If returned to the nine-star line, perhaps they could use a secret method to resurrect her through it.

When the Astral Arm descended and stuck to Fei Shuang’s shoulder, an intense heat erupted. Fei Shuang’s flesh started to smoke as the astral flame coiled around her body.

Fei Shuang quivered but didn’t utter a sound. She gritted her teeth and endured.

Long Chen’s eyes gleamed with admiration. This woman truly forged herself through blood and fire. No wonder her will is so strong.

Long Chen suddenly thought of himself and his Dragonblood Legion. He had complained that the heavens were unfair and had cursed him with bad luck. However, every thorn, every wound, every cursed trial had built the unshakable foundation that carried them to this point.

“You’re undergoing astral baptism,” Long Chen said. “I’m using astral flame to guide the arm’s power through your body. This will turn your body into a battlefield. You’ll be fighting Bing Yi within your own soul domain. Are you ready? The real battle starts now.”

“I’m ready!”

Fei Shuang closed her eyes, and starlight started to appear around her.

Suddenly, the Astral Arm trembled. A violent aura exploded from within, and Bing Yi’s voice shrieked through the chamber:

“You want my Astral Arm?! Keep dreaming!”

Fei Shuang’s body convulsed as the starlight around her flared chaotically. Deafening booms echoed within her. All of a sudden, she coughed up blood. In the very first clash of wills, she’d been injured.

Long Chen’s expression darkened. The Astral Arm was far more dangerous than he had anticipated. It not only contained Bing Yi’s will but also a wisp of her soul.

The tiny wisp had escaped his detection, proof that Bing Yi had secretly planned to preserve herself through this limb. But since Long Chen wanted Fei Shuang to refine it, that soul fragment could no longer hide.

Now, it was an all-or-nothing battle. Fei Shuang wanted to claim the arm, while Bing Yi sought to seize Fei Shuang’s body and resurrect. And Long Chen—he couldn’t interfere at all.

The booming continued endlessly. Starlight flickered wildly around Fei Shuang as time crawled by.

Sweat dripped down Long Chen’s brow. An incense stick’s time had passed, yet the battle still raged on. Finally, he relaxed a bit.

An hour later, his shoulders relaxed further. The longer it lasted, the better Fei Shuang’s odds became.

If Fei Shuang could survive the initial clash, Bing Yi’s soul would gradually weaken, as there was no energy source for her to recover with. No matter how strong her Spiritual Strength had been, it was finite. Fei Shuang’s steady will slowly gained the upper hand.

The stars continued to flash around Fei Shuang. The battle was still going on, but it was no longer as intense.

Six hours later, the stars stopped flashing, and Bing Yi’s aura completely vanished.

“Long Chen, I’ve succeeded!” Fei Shuang shouted, overjoyed.

Then, she slowly raised her right arm. She carefully clenched it, straightened it, and practiced her movements. She was actually able to control the Astral Arm. She stared at it in wonder.

At this moment, Long Chen pressed a finger against Fei Shuang’s forehead, startling her.

“Long Chen—”

As astral energy converged on his fingertip, Fei Shuang’s soul shuddered. An intense suction force made her feel like Long Chen was trying to rip her soul out of her body, alarming her.

“Don’t embarrass yourself with these little tricks. Come out!” shouted Long Chen.

A black shadow was violently dragged from Fei Shuang’s mind-sea, coalescing in midair before Long Chen’s finger.

“Long Chen! I curse you to die a miserable death!”

Bing Yi’s furious roar echoed from the shadow.
