Chapter 182: Second Dao Fruit Transformation, Early Birth of Primordial Spirit, and the Second Round
Chapter 182: Second Dao Fruit Transformation, Early Birth of Primordial Spirit, and the Second Round of Hell Lotus Flaming Radiant Wheel (Part 1)
Chess Sage's Second Dao Fruit Transformation...
Divine Power, Infinity!
In Li Cheng's eyes, countless lines intertwined, as if numerous rays of light were leaping and dancing.
Li Cheng had always been looking forward to the divine power that would emerge after the Chess Sage's second Dao Fruit transformation. The prototype of the divine power, Great Snow Avalanche, had significantly enhanced his combat strength.
For instance, this time, he was able to kill the leader of the Divine Hunter Tower and a Divine Essence True Person, relying solely on the divine nature explosion of Great Snow Avalanche.
Whether it was the Bodhimanda Lotus Shell or the Fire God Ferocious Serpent Gatling Cannon, the foundation of both lay in the prototype of the Chess Sage's divine power, Great Snow Avalanche.
It could be said that the transformation of the Chess Sage's Dao Fruit had Li Cheng eagerly anticipating.
However, this time, Li Cheng's expectations gradually faded.
He still recalled the scenes he had encountered in that vast and mysterious space.
The Heavens and Earth Chessboard was laid out, and someone was placing pieces from outside the board.
It was as if a giant palm was covering the sky, blocking out the sun.
Who was that person?
Was it a god?
Was it the master of the Dao Tree?
Who was it?
Li Cheng's mind became muddled, and the countless lines dancing before his eyes made the sound of his heavy heartbeat, like the pounding of a drum, ring in his ears.
A moment later, his breathing calmed, and each inhale and exhale was long and steady.
Before him, the prompt changed again.
【Infinity (Divine Power): Black and White Placement, Yin and Yang Infinity, Endless, Ultimate Heaven's Path】
【First Heaven: Black and White Extreme Collapse】
【White Pieces at One Extreme, Black Pieces Repel, Yin and Yang in Hand, Silence Throughout the World】
【Second Heaven: ???】
...
Li Cheng stared blankly at the dazzling prompt that appeared before him, with black and white rays of light constantly intertwining.
He had already become accustomed to the fact that after the second Dao Fruit transformation, the prototype of divine power would be promoted to divine power, and he could only activate the First Heaven.
Just like his previous divine powers, Star-Gazing Eye, Dawn Ascent, and now Infinity.
All of them could only be mastered from the First Heaven!
Perhaps it was because the Dao Fruit had not yet fully matured.
Li Cheng had also pondered how to master the divine powers of the Second Heaven, thinking that perhaps an increase in the maturity of the Dao Fruit would be sufficient.
He didn't think further.
The second Dao Fruit transformation would still bring about significant changes for Li Cheng.
Just like the previous Dragon Elephant and Vajra transformations, the feedback from those transformations made Li Cheng feel as if his entire being had been reborn.
His physical body became increasingly powerful and flawless!
Although the changes to his physical body from Star-Gazing Eye were not apparent, Li Cheng could sense that his divine craftsmanship talent had improved even more.
It was likely a subtle transformation.
Unlike the intense Dragon Elephant and Vajra transformations.
As for the Infinity divine power, what kind of transformation would it bring? Li Cheng still had no idea.
Closing his eyes, he sat cross-legged.
The entire Mysterious Temple fell silent.
The next moment, it was as if the sound of flowing water was exploding and reverberating in his ears.
The Niwan Palace between his eyebrows throbbed incessantly, as if there was an additional heart beating within.
The Heavens and Earth Chessboard expanded, centering on Li Cheng's body, and instantly enveloped the entire Mysterious Temple!
Dong, dong, dong—
It was as if the sound of ancient bells was constantly striking his divine perception.
A wave of tremors swept through his entire body, as if his soul were shaking.
His perception...
Was increasing at an unprecedented rate.
Including the Pure Heart Divine Foundation, all eight Divine Foundations within the Niwan Inner Landscape space trembled, and the buzzing sound tore open the air currents, causing them to swirl violently.
Boom, boom, boom—
It was as if a faint light was floating above the Divine Foundations.
Then, they began to float in the Heavens and Earth Chessboard.
Gradually, they condensed into a figure resembling Li Cheng.
The dazzling light and rising mist!
Unlike Li Cheng's previous divine perception within the Heavens and Earth Chessboard, this figure had a true form, becoming more condensed and powerful, allowing him to control it like his true body.
Li Cheng's eyes opened and closed, emitting countless auspicious lights.
Boom—
Behind him, the seven Divine Foundations of the seven emotions appeared, and in an instant, they resembled a peacock spreading its tail, dazzling and breathtaking.
"This... is the Primordial Spirit?"
Li Cheng was shocked and puzzled.
Only cultivators in the Primordial Form Realm could cultivate the Primordial Spirit.
It seemed like he had... condensed it prematurely!
Was this the transformation brought about by the Infinity divine power?
"Infinity, Infinity, Ultimate Heaven's Path..."
"Can it ignore limits? Is it considered infinite?"
Li Cheng muttered to himself.
This was his speculation, as the Divine Foundation Realm could only condense divine perception and not the Primordial Spirit.
To condense the Primordial Spirit, one would need to be at least in the Primordial Form Realm.
Even then, the Primordial Spirit condensed in the Primordial Form Realm would be the weakest.
Only after reaching the Divine Essence Realm would the first transformation be the Primordial Spirit transformation... that would be the time to play with the Primordial Spirit.
But he was only in the Divine Foundation Realm...
And he had managed to condense the Primordial Spirit.
"Hmm? Seven Divine Foundations... supporting the Primordial Spirit?"
Li Cheng seemed to be deep in thought.
If it were only one Divine Foundation, it would be impossible to support the existence of the Primordial Spirit, as it would be crushed by the Primordial Spirit, causing the Divine Foundation to shatter.
Even those who had just entered the Divine Incarnation Realm would not be able to do so. They would need to observe the Divine Incarnation, meticulously refine it to perfection, and reach the Primordial Form Realm to bear the Primordial Spirit.
"No, it's not just the seven Divine Foundations, but also the Heavens and Earth Chessboard, which supports the Primordial Spirit."
Li Cheng understood.
The Primordial Spirit appeared, floating quietly within the Heavens and Earth Chessboard.
The gaze of the Primordial Spirit opened and closed, and it seemed as if countless auspicious lights were flowing across the chessboard.
The "Seven Elements Corpse Spell Mother and Son Seal" that was suppressed within the Heavens and valley of the chessboard trembling, becoming more obedient.
On the other side, the mythical weapon, Heaven-Defying Face, seemed to tremble slightly, but it only did so for a moment before returning to calm.
Li Cheng's Primordial Spirit glanced at the Heaven-Defying Face.
Li Cheng had fought against the Purple Flame Snake Spear and Fire Tipped Spear, and he knew that even unclaimed mythical weapons could possess a simple consciousness. Did Heaven-Defying Face have it too?
Perhaps, but Li Cheng didn't pay it much mind.
Withdrawing his consciousness.
Inside the Mysterious Temple.
Li Cheng opened his eyes, and the bright light that flashed for a moment, overshadowed the white candle's flame.
The radiance was so dazzling that it seemed as if Li Cheng himself was glowing!
"Primordial Spirit..."
"Unexpected."
Li Cheng muttered, surprised by the premature condensation of his Primordial Spirit, even though it was restricted and could only exist within the Heavens and Earth Chessboard.
However, this meant that, unknowingly, he had taken a solid step forward in the path of divine nature.
As Li Cheng entered the Primordial Form, he might become one of the outstanding individuals in the Primordial Form Realm.
Even if he broke through to the Divine Essence True Person level, it would be as easy as water flowing into a channel.
"An unexpected joy."
Li Cheng's eyes burned with flames, as if his Primordial Spirit was manifesting in the real world.
"It's changed."
Li Cheng's eyes shone with clarity. After the birth of his Primordial Spirit, he could clearly capture the lingering divinity floating in the heavens and earth, making it extremely dense.
Even in a single thought, he could draw upon the divinity in the heavens and earth, mobilizing it at will.
"My innate divine talent... is indeed average, but after giving birth to my Primordial Spirit, it's like a high schooler directly studying middle school knowledge... Perhaps my talent hasn't changed, but the ease of learning has."
Li Cheng smiled.
His innate divine talent wasn't too good, and it had always been a pain in his heart.
But now, it had made up for a lot.
Of course, it was a different kind of compensation, but as long as it could improve his divine cultivation speed, that was good enough.
Li Cheng stood up, stretched his muscles, and the sound of cracking joints echoed like the roar of a tiger or leopard.
His blood and energy surged and coursed through his meridians, roaring like a high-pressure water jet, filled with immense power.
The birth of the Primordial Spirit also affected his physical body, making Li Cheng's perception of his flesh and blood even more acute.
His mind became clearer, and his martial arts and divine cultivation seemed to have improved significantly.
Li Cheng stood still, and the wind around him automatically rose, brushing against him.
He raised his palm, and his five fingers curled like hooks.
"Divine Power of the First Heaven..."
"Black and White Extreme Collapse!"
In an instant.
In Li Cheng's palm, a Pure Heart Chess Piece appeared.
The white chess piece was dazzlingly brilliant, its light blinding. Then, as Li Cheng's thoughts moved, black chess pieces appeared one after another, decorating the side of the white Pure Heart Chess Piece.
Three or two black chess pieces were placed next to the white Pure Heart Chess Piece!
It was as if magnetic attraction was absorbing them, and countless black divine chess pieces slowly gathered on top of the white piece.
The air began to distort, and a powerful and terrifying force of destruction intertwined at the center where the black and white pieces collided.
Countless lights were swallowed by darkness, like the collapse and explosion of a black hole!
Black and White Extreme Collapse!
Li Cheng looked at the spinning black ball in his palm.
It was terrifying.
If Great Snow Avalanche was about the violent collision between divine chess pieces, triggering an explosion of power.
Then Black and White Extreme Collapse...
Was about compression, collapse, and devouring...
When collapse and devouring reached their extremes, they would silently explode!
The power...
Was even more terrifying!
Just sensing the power of the black ball in his palm, Li Cheng's hair stood on end, and he felt a strong sense of threat, filling his heart.
Even his Forge Master's physical body, as strong as it was, might not be able to withstand the distortion and annihilation of this black ball's power!
Li Cheng's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"Black and White Extreme Collapse... If used properly, it's a powerful weapon not inferior to the Bodhimanda Lotus Shell."
Li Cheng muttered.
The Immortal Craft Dao Fruit throbbed, and he had already started thinking about how to improve this power of "Black and White Extreme Collapse" and turn it into a powerful weapon.
He clenched his five fingers.
The power of Black and White Extreme Collapse dissipated with a boom.
It transformed into divine chess pieces and returned to the Chess Sage's chessboard.
Li Cheng exhaled a long breath, and the oppressive feeling of destruction instantly disappeared.
"The power is great, but it's equally difficult to control..."
"Danger and power go hand in hand."
The unexpected condensation of the Primordial Spirit put Li Cheng in a good mood.
At least, the condensed Primordial Spirit could help him in his divine cultivation, which was a great thing.
Li Cheng, feeling good, looked at the Monkey Temple Deity statue, and a smile gradually spread across his face.
He tapped his toes, and his body appeared next to the Monkey Temple Deity statue. He reached out a glowing palm towards the statue's bald head.
Although the Star-Gazing Eye could also absorb the divinity of the Temple Deity, Li Cheng still felt that using his hand would be more satisfying.
Ah—
Damn it!
Get lost!
The Monkey Temple Deity seemed to be screaming.
In the odd temple, there seemed to be an invisible wailing sound, like a low-pitched thunder rumbling.
...
...
Golden Light Mansion.
The rain showed no signs of letting up, and the continuous downpour had left a thick layer of water on the ground in the city.
The news of what happened outside the Heaven Foretelling Bureau spread quickly throughout the entire city. The fall of a Divine Essence True Person made everyone extremely fearful.
The wariness and fear of the Netherworld reached an unprecedented height.
However, the City Lord Mansion did not take any action. They only dispatched the Divine Guardian Army to clean up the bodies on the ground and the corpse of the Divine Hunter Tower's leader, suppressing all matters.
Inside the City Lord Mansion.
Prince Ji Haihui, the Young Marquis, was terrified, and his body trembled slightly.
He looked at the Shadow Guard True Man for help.
Although the Shadow Guard True Man was enveloped in darkness, his face was extremely stern.
"Young Marquis, rest assured. The Divine Hunter Tower's leader was killed by the Netherworld, but... I still have the confidence to protect your safety."
"If the Netherworld really takes action to assassinate the Young Marquis, I will take him away from Golden Light City at the fastest speed."
Although the Shadow Guard True Man's words were stern, they were still relaxed.
It was a confidence in his own strength.
"The Divine Hunter Tower is just starting its business in the city, so the leader they sent is average. Although he is a Divine Essence True Person, he is only at the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Transformation."
"He could only descend to the Golden Core Silk and hadn't even mastered some of the Golden Body Prototype. That's why he was killed by the Netherworld's many experts working together."
The Shadow Guard True Man explained.
Of course, he was only saying this to put the Young Marquis at ease.
The might of the Netherworld made even the Shadow Guard True Man's scalp tingle.
