Chapter 173: Divine Physique Peak! Shocking Changes! Chaos!

Chapter 173: Divine Physique Peak! Shocking Changes! Chaos!

Ethereal radiance illuminated the heavens and earth, and the surging Divine Elixir churned with infinite energy.

Su Changqing sat cross-legged, his fingers forming intricate seals as he channeled his cultivation technique, allowing the elixir to flow into his body.

His blood and flesh, marrow and bones, and meridians were like greedy beasts, constantly devouring the Divine Elixir within the Heavenly Demon Pool.

It was clear to see that Su Changqing's physical body was glowing, his meridians gradually widening, his marrow and bones becoming more resilient, and his flesh and skin undergoing a strange transformation.

With each change in his body, the newly created heavens and earth underwent a tremendous transformation.

The riverbed symbolizing the meridians rapidly expanded, and the surging river's momentum was overwhelming and endless.

Most striking was the increasing sense of heaviness in the 'earth,' growing at an astonishing rate.

"To reach the peak of the Divine Physique, one must forge the Ninth Layer Dao Foundation, open the Life Palace, and connect with heaven and earth."

Recalling Wu Jiuling's teachings, Su Changqing murmured to himself, his fingers forming intricate seals.

Instantly, the Divine Elixir within his vicinity rapidly flowed into his body.

The earth within his body continued to devour, and the sense of heaviness intensified.

Suddenly, a booming sound reverberated from the depths of his heart.

A surging power emerged, and the central flame of heaven and earth flickered with brilliance, its crimson hue intensifying.

At the same time, Su Changqing's flesh, marrow, and physical body began to strengthen from all aspects.

"The First Layer of Dao Foundation."

Su Changqing's mind flashed with enlightenment, and Wu Jiuling's words seemed to echo in his ears.

The Heaven-Earth Divine Body, with heaven as deity and earth as essence.

When the fragile 'earth' merges nine times, it becomes indestructible!

The completion of the Heaven-Earth Divine Body, when force reaches its ultimate!

"The Ultimate Force Ninth Layer Dao Foundation."

Su Changqing murmured, his bright gaze fixed on the Divine Elixir in the Celestial Demon Pool.

His breakthrough required a vast amount of resources to fulfill the completion of heaven and earth.

Previously, he hadn't fully grasped the concept of 'vast resources,' but after forging the first layer of the Dao Foundation, he finally understood.

To achieve the perfection of the Heaven-Earth Divine Body, the required resources were truly terrifying.

"Today, I must break through the peak of the Divine Physique; otherwise, it will be difficult to find so many free resources again in the future."

Seeing everyone around him rapidly absorbing the elixir, Su Changqing felt a sense of urgency.

The Divine Elixir in the Celestial Demon Pool was not infinite; the more others absorbed, the less there would be for him.

Although fighting was prohibited in the Celestial Demon Pool, the competition for resources never ceased.

Without further delay, Su Changqing took a deep breath and channeled his cultivation technique with all his might, beginning to seize resources at the fastest speed!

The sound of flowing liquid filled the air as Su Changqing exerted his strength, and the Divine Elixir in the Celestial Demon Pool started to gather towards him.

Due to his swift absorption, small whirlpools of Divine Elixir even formed.

Benefiting from his rapid absorption, Su Changqing's aura grew increasingly powerful.

The First Layer of Dao Foundation.

The Third Layer of Dao Foundation.

The Fifth Layer of Dao Foundation.

Su Changqing's originally refined temperament began to change, becoming fierce and intimidating as his physical body grew stronger, and a sense of oppression emanated from his core.

...

However, Su Changqing's rapid devouring soon caught the attention of those around him.

The Fierce Ape, Dark Scales, and other members of the demon race stared at Su Changqing, who was in the midst of a Divine Elixir whirlpool, their faces slightly startled.

"Is there no limit to his Divine Physique? How can he swallow and absorb so much so quickly?"

Everyone exchanged glances, their hearts filled with urgency.

At this rate, would Su Changqing deplete the Divine Elixir in the Celestial Demon Pool by himself?

"Swallow!"

The demons in the Celestial Demon Pool glared with determination, gathering around Su Changqing, each exerting themselves to absorb the elixir as quickly as possible, vying for the precious resource.

Wu Yong, Xuan Qingzi, and others were not to be outdone, positioning themselves on the outskirts of the demons and channeling their cultivation techniques with all their might.

It was clear to see that the liquid in the Celestial Demon Pool was steadily decreasing.

However...

What they didn't see was that, in the darkness below the Celestial Demon Pool, over a dozen members of the Demon Sect were also rapidly absorbing the elixir.

Minge sat cross-legged at the forefront, holding a mysterious array disk, secretly siphoning the Divine Elixir from the Celestial Demon Pool above.

The trickling stream of elixir continuously flowed down, allowing their area to absorb even faster than those in the Celestial Demon Pool.

"Minge, when will you make your move on Su Changqing?"

Demon Flame stood guard nearby, his divine sense having detected Su Changqing in the Celestial Demon Pool, his eyes turning cold.

"There's no rush," Minge said, glancing at him and replying calmly, "Wait until the Celestial Demon Pool is depleted, and I'll break through the mountain and collect the remaining elixir."

"At that time, you can capture him, and I'll open the Earth Vein of the Spirit Realm. Once we're there, I'll kill him!"

Hearing this, Demon Flame smiled and nodded, "We await Minge's command."

...

On the outskirts of the Dragonbone Mountains, within the dense forest.

Fa Ming watched Su Changqing in the Celestial Demon Pool, feeling anxious.

The longer he waited, the more precarious his situation became.

He could make a move now, but doing so would undoubtedly attract a joint siege from the human and demon races.

This left him hesitant to make a decision.

After a while, Fa Ming transmitted a message to Jia Ye, "Should I make my move now or wait until they return?"

Jia Ye, outside the mountain range, saw the message and glanced at the Great Phoenix King and the others, frowning in thought before replying, "There's no rush, wait a bit longer. Making a move now will expose our identities."

"Why not wait until Su Changqing and the others return, and then you can make your move in secret."

Fa Ming nodded, putting away the transmission talisman and glancing at Su Changqing in the Celestial Demon Pool before closing his eyes again.

...

Time flew by, and three days had passed in the blink of an eye.

The Divine Elixir within the Celestial Demon Pool was gradually depleting.

At this moment, Su Changqing had already forged the Dao Foundation eight times, possessing an exceptionally robust physique.

He merely sat cross-legged, but at a glance, he seemed like an ancient giant beast crouching.

The demons and humans around Su Changqing, even though they were in the midst of cultivation, couldn't help but glance at him with awe from time to time.

Even before entering the Celestial Demon Pool, Su Changqing's combat strength had been extremely formidable.

Now, they dared not imagine how terrifying Su Changqing had become.

At this moment, even the proud Little Phoenix King fell silent as he looked at Su Changqing.

Suddenly, Su Changqing opened his eyes, which radiated a sharp light, and looked around.

"Nine times the Dao Foundation, still a bit short."

Su Changqing's physique emitted a crystalline glow, and even his hair shimmered like black light.

This was the effect of a significant enhancement in his physical body and marrow.

However, due to the improvement in his talent, he had absorbed too much Divine Elixir, causing his cultivation to still lack a considerable amount of energy.

But at this moment, the Divine Elixir in the Celestial Demon Pool was about to run out.

"One last push!"

As if remembering something, Su Changqing's eyes lit up slightly, and he waved his hand to take out dozens of silver needles, piercing them into his body.

As he made a finger seal, the silver needles arranged themselves in a mysterious array, and the light within his body erupted.

"Revolve Heaven and Earth!"

Su Changqing's heart let out a low roar, and in an instant, the world within his body expanded with a boom.

It was as if the world within his body had instantly replaced his physical body, and he was the world, and the world was him.

Heavenly Physician's Nine Mysteries Second Needle, Revolve Heaven and Earth! This needle technique had been used by him when he absorbed the Primordial Sword Yang in the Great Void Forbidden Abyss.

Now, using it again, the result was even more exaggerated than before.

Because within his body, there was a true Heaven and Earth!

Boom!

Su Changqing's black hair danced wildly, and his body seemed like a black hole, as the remaining Divine Elixir in the Celestial Demon Pool was swallowed like a whale, turning into a torrent that merged into his body.

This scene stunned everyone in the Celestial Demon Pool.

Even the Great Phoenix King and others above the sky froze for a moment, but soon they shouted angrily,

"Su Changqing, what are you doing?!"

...

Coincidentally, as Su Changqing used the Revolve Heaven and Earth needle technique, Minge below the Celestial Demon Pool also stood up.

"The Celestial Demon Pool is almost empty; it's time to make our move."

Minge whispered, and then, with a finger seal, the array disk in his hand glowed brightly.

Boom!

As a loud boom sounded, a huge opening was created beneath the Celestial Demon Pool.

Demon Flame, with an excited smile on his face, took out a jade bottle containing space and prepared to collect the falling Divine Elixir.

Although the Celestial Demon Pool was almost empty, the remaining amount of Divine Elixir was still quite substantial.

These items, when brought back to the Demon Sect, would be excellent treasures for cultivating disciples.

With this thought, Demon Flame's smile became even brighter.

But in just a moment, the smile on his face froze.

Because not a drop of Divine Elixir flowed out of the opened gap.

"What's going on?!"

Demon Flame's face turned ashen, and he shouted angrily, scanning the area with his divine sense.

Minge, standing beside him, seemed to have realized something and shouted,

"Demon Flame, make your move! The demons have discovered us!"

Demon Flame's face changed, and his Saint Realm cultivation burst forth as he extended his palm towards Su Changqing.

At the same time.

In the Dragonbone Mountains, Fa Ming was still quietly waiting for Su Changqing and the others to return.

But suddenly, the communication token at his waist began to vibrate rapidly.

Jia Ye: "Make your move! Do it now! Hurry, I can sense Su Nan's aura!"

To be on the safe side, the Buddha Lord had originally planned to capture Su Changqing without bloodshed.

But who would have thought that he would sense Su Nan's aura from so far away!

He was confident in dealing with a Great Phoenix King and a Miao Ba, but if Su Nan arrived, once he was exposed, it would be even more difficult to escape.

Without any hesitation, Jia Ye immediately sent a message to Fa Ming, ordering him to act immediately.

He wanted to obtain the Heavenly Buddha Body and leave before Su Nan arrived! Fa Ming, seeing this, also changed his expression, and without hesitation, he roared, and his Near-Emperor Realm aura rose to the heavens.

A huge hand, blocking the sun and covering the sky, appeared above the Celestial Demon Pool.

...

Su Changqing was at a critical moment of his breakthrough, with the Life Fire in his inner world burning fiercely, and powerful energy permeated the area.

Above the sky, a Life Palace emitting chaotic light was slowly emerging.

But suddenly, the Creation Jade in his Sea of Consciousness, which had been calm all along, trembled violently.

A life-and-death crisis that made one's scalp tingle instantly surged into his heart.

Without any hesitation, Su Changqing immediately stopped his breakthrough, and his expression changed as he quickly took out the Teleportation Array.

"Open!"

Intense light flashed, and Su Changqing only had time to cover Wu Yong, Miao Feng, and Xuan Qingzi with it before disappearing from his original location.

The next moment.

Boom!

The bottom of the Celestial Demon Pool suddenly exploded, and a giant hand surrounded by demonic aura clenched into a fist where Su Changqing had just been.

Then, the sky above the Celestial Demon Pool darkened, and another huge hand appeared, slamming down where Su Changqing had just been.

After that, a very coincidental event occurred.

The owners of both hands had originally targeted Su Changqing.

But as Su Changqing disappeared, the two giant hands collided with a boom.

Boom!

The entire Celestial Demon Pool exploded, and the Little Phoenix King and the demons present were sent flying, bleeding and unconscious.

Mo Xiong and the others, despite being at the edge of the Heavenly Demon Pool, were also affected and flew out of the pool.

But the most difficult part was the Demon Flame below the pool.

"Pfft!"

Facing Fa Ming's Near-Emperor Realm attack, the Demon Flame spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, hitting the stone wall and emitting a loud boom.

The Demon Flame was stunned, and Minge beside him was also shocked.

They were just trying to capture Su Changqing, but how did they end up knocking out a Sage?

On the other side, Fa Ming, who had also attacked, stood there in a daze.

A Sage?

Why would there be a Sage lurking beneath the Heavenly Demon Pool? But this wasn't important; the crucial issue was that Su Changqing had disappeared again?!

...

In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Demon Pool exploded. The Near-Emperor and the Sage took action, and the elites of the Human and Demon Races fought for their lives. Su Changqing, Xuan Qingzi, and the others went missing.

This series of changes left the Great Phoenix King and Miao Ba dumbfounded.

The next moment, a wave of rage that shook the heavens swept through the eight directions.

"You, seeking death!"

"Chirp!"

The Great Phoenix King's eyes nearly split, and after letting out an angry roar, he transformed into a terrifying thousand-zhang-long Golden-Winged Peng appearing in the sky.

He extended his endless sharp claws, aiming directly for Fa Ming's head.

"Demon Sect, how dare you!"

On the other side, Miao Ba's eyes turned red. After a furious shout, he and the six Great Saints rushed towards the Heavenly Demon Pool.

The formidable power of the Near-Emperor Realm rose, and with an angry strike, they headed straight for Minge and the others.

Meanwhile, the Dan Peak Summit Master and the Elder Lingxi rushed to aid their fallen elites.

...

In just a short moment, the Dragonbone Mountains were in complete chaos.

The Buddha, who was about to receive Fa Ming, saw the outer mountains nearly collapsing, and he was stunned.

"What's going on here!"

Jia Ye's face was filled with anger, "I just asked you to capture a small Divine Body Realm cultivator, how could it cause such a huge mess!"

Without hesitation, Jia Ye also took action.

There was no other way; if he didn't act, Fa Ming would be killed by the Great Phoenix King.

"Buddha's power is boundless!"

Jia Ye clasped his hands together and shouted angrily, and a giant Buddha enveloped Fa Ming, blocking the Great Phoenix King's furious strike.

He scanned the surroundings with his gaze and then fixed his eyes on the depths of the mountains.

"You go first, I'll chase after that kid!"

As his words fell, Jia Ye struck Fa Ming with a palm, allowing him to escape.

And without lingering to fight the Great Phoenix King, Jia Ye's body flickered as he rushed towards the depths of the Dragonbone Mountains.

Now, with the plan in disarray, he had no choice but to take action.

"Alright, alright, the Buddhist Sect is also here to stir up trouble!"

Upon seeing the Buddha's arrival, the Great Phoenix King's eyes turned red with anger, "Stop him!"

Boom! The Hanging Cloud Wings carried a mighty force, rushing towards Jia Ye.

He didn't know the Buddhist Sect's intentions, but with the Heavenly Demon Pool destroyed, the Little Phoenix King's life was in danger.

This debt had to be settled with the Buddhist Sect!

As for the fleeing Fa Ming, the Divine Ape and Dark Python were already on their way to intercept him.

Today, no one would escape.

...

The scene was in utter chaos, and Su Changqing led Xuan Qingzi and the others to teleport to the deepest part of the Dragonbone Mountains.

He didn't want to come here either, but this was the Demon Domain, and it didn't matter where they went.

At the very least, here, he still had some means of defense.

"Senior Brother, what's going on?"

Wu Yong looked at the distant, nearly shattered heavens and earth, feeling his scalp go numb.

More importantly, there was also a Buddha emitting a terrifying aura, rapidly approaching.

From his appearance, it seemed like they wouldn't stop until they killed them all.

"They... aren't they all after you?" Miao Feng looked at Su Changqing with a strange expression.

"Never mind who they're after, what should we do now?"

Wu Yong pointed at the rapidly approaching Buddha, tears welling up as he said, "If we're caught, we're all dead!"

Miao Feng nodded in response.

Putting aside the Buddha who appeared out of nowhere, even the Great Phoenix King who followed wouldn't let them go.

This wasn't the Human Realm, and even if Miao Ba and the others wanted to save them, they were powerless.

Now, they seemed to have encountered a dead end.

"Don't be afraid."

Su Changqing took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the distant dragon head, "Since we can't run, then no one will leave!"

As his words fell, Su Changqing sat cross-legged, and the surging power of Qi and Blood within him went wild.

He spoke softly, and an obscure ancient language echoed throughout the entire Dragonbone Mountains.

This time, he used all his strength, and the piercing sound wave penetrated souls, spreading to an extremely far distance.

Xuan Qingzi seemed to understand Su Changqing's plan.

His eyes flashed, and he pointed into the void, drawing mystical runes.

In a moment, the runes took shape and slowly landed in front of Su Changqing.

Instantly, the obscure sound Su Changqing had been reciting became dozens of times louder! The vast sound wave reverberated throughout the entire Dragonbone Mountains.

The previously chaotic mountains suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then...

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Endless beasts roared, rising to shake the heavens, and the earth trembled.

The mountains shook, peaks collapsed, and countless ancient heavenly trees were trampled underfoot.

But what made their scalps go even more numb was the sound coming from the depths of the mountains, like the roar of ancient beasts.

Dozens of towering beasts, as tall as mountains, charged towards the outside of the mountains.

The auras these beasts emitted were all of the Near-Emperor Realm!

Seeing this, everyone in the Dragonbone Mountains was stunned, feeling their scalps go numb and their bodies covered in cold sweat!
