Chapter 192: The Day He Enters Divine Transformation, He Shall Be Invincible!
Chapter 192: The Day He Enters Divine Transformation, He Shall Be Invincible!
After the Twelfth Stage Soul Transformation Realm "Boundless Essence Domain" was activated, there was no change in the world's energy, except for the Spirit Energy around Chen Qiu becoming several times denser. Visually, there was no discernible difference.
One could only sense the activation of the realm through their Divine Sense.
But—
As soon as the Thousand Thunder Surge Domain, the Twelfth Stage Soul Transformation Realm, was activated, the energy of the entire world changed!
The sky above the realm was suddenly filled with dark clouds, and countless bolts of lightning flashed within them. Even the air was filled with purple-blue arcs of lightning, constantly dissipating and reappearing.
The entire realm was filled with countless arcs of lightning in an instant.
At the moment the realm was activated, its full power had not yet been unleashed.
The might contained within it had already destroyed all the buildings in Three Spring Tower, leaving only those protected by special formations.
Just the initial activation of the realm, without unleashing its full power, was enough to instantly kill a Nascent Soul in the early stage.
Unlike the "Boundless Essence Domain," which was an auxiliary realm, the "Thousand Thunder Surge Domain" was a realm that combined both auxiliary and offensive abilities. The activation of such a realm meant that slaughter had already begun!
Not only did Chen Qiu's lightning-based spells receive a significant boost within this realm, but the countless purple-blue arcs of lightning that constantly dissipated and reappeared also carried terrifying power.
Touching them would mean instant death for a Nascent Soul in the early stage.
". . ."
Chen Qiu, seated in mid-air with his legs crossed, glanced at his Nascent Soul beside him and smiled lightly without saying a word.
Normally, even if someone possessed two Soul Transformation Realms, they could only activate one at a time and not simultaneously.
However—
He had the advantage of the blue entry, "Human Infancy Unity," which allowed his Nascent Soul and main body to each activate a Soul Transformation Realm simultaneously.
Thus, achieving the effect of activating two Soul Transformation Realms at once!
But this was just the beginning. After breaking through to the Twelfth Stage Soul Transformation Realm, he was rewarded with a "Divine Transformation Domain Token" by the Heavenly Path Edict. Due to the effect of the green entry, "Court Summoned," this token doubled, becoming two.
The effect of this token was simple; it allowed him to possess an additional Soul Transformation Realm.
In other words, after using these two Divine Transformation Domain Tokens, he would have four realms. He would only need to wait for his Nascent Soul to give birth to two small Nascent Souls, and then he could simultaneously activate four Twelfth Stage Soul Transformation Realms!
Or rather, four Thirteenth Stage Soul Transformation Realms!
He also had a "Ascension Token of Divine Transformation"!
This token had a single effect: to upgrade his Soul Transformation Realm by one rank. It could elevate his Twelfth Stage Realm to the Thirteenth Stage. Among his realms, only the "Boundless Essence Domain" was the main realm, while "Thousand Thunder Surge Domain" and any future Soul Transformation Realms would be auxiliary.
This meant that once he upgraded his main realm, the others would naturally follow suit.
But now was not the time to think about these matters.
"Boom!!!"
As the Spirit Energy within his body surged uncontrollably, Chen Qiu felt the immense and dense Spirit Energy for the first time since breaking through to the early stage of Divine Transformation. The entire world reverberated with deafening thunderclaps as he unleashed his power for the first time!
A fierce storm followed, worsening the already dire weather.
The allure of death was sweeping across the Xuantian Continent!
"Damn it! Damn it!"
At this moment, the Divine Transformation Apex Elder from Green Mountain Palace had thoughts of retreat. A hint of reluctance and regret flashed in his eyes as he stared fixedly at Ao Tian beside him and said, "Spare me, how about it?"
His Eighth Stage Divine Transformation Realm was completely suppressed by Chen Qiu's Twelfth Stage Realm, leaving him unable to unleash it.
Without the Soul Transformation Realm, the power of a Divine Transformation Apex cultivator was significantly reduced.
If it were just Chen Qiu, he wouldn't be afraid. After all, Chen Qiu had just broken through to the early stage of Divine Transformation, and even with absolute suppression of his Soul Transformation Realm, he could rely on his cultivation base to overpower and kill Chen Qiu within his own realm.
But Chen Qiu wasn't alone; Ao Tian was also there, watching him with predatory eyes.
Ao Tian, being a Dragon Clan cultivator at the Divine Transformation Apex, was already stronger than an ordinary Divine Transformation Apex cultivator. Now, with an additional Soul Transformation Realm, and with his Divine Sense locking onto me, I can't win in a fight, nor can I escape."
Although Ao Tian was smiling at him, if he showed any signs of escaping, Ao Tian would undoubtedly reveal his dragon form and activate his Soul Transformation Realm, trapping him within.
This time, he might truly be defeated.
Unless a miracle happened.
The countless purple-blue arcs of lightning in the air touched his protective Spirit Energy, sizzling as they made contact. Although they couldn't break through his defense, this was just the initial effect of the realm's activation; its full power had not yet been unleashed.
This was a Soul Transformation Realm related to lightning.
Central Province had never seen this Soul Transformation Realm before.
"Spare me?"
Ao Tian, standing in his original spot, looked at the Divine Transformation Apex Elder from Green Mountain Palace with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Do I look like a stablemaster?"
At that moment—
"Boom!!!"
Just as the Divine Transformation Apex Elder from Green Mountain Palace was about to say something, he suddenly sensed something and instinctively turned his head. A powerful purple-blue arrow, imbued with immense might, shot towards him from a short distance away!
In just one strike, the protective Spirit Energy he was proud of was pierced through.
Luckily, he reacted quickly. The arrow, wrapped in lightning, merely grazed his ear. If it weren't for his intuition, his head would have been blown apart.
He turned his head in disbelief, looking at Chen Qiu, who was floating in mid-air, holding a Spirit Bow and arrow. He touched his ear, and his hand was covered in filthy blood. Half of his ear had been severed in that single strike!
How was this possible?
He had kept his attention fixed on Ao Tian the entire time, fearing that Ao Tian might suddenly launch a sneak attack. He hadn't taken Chen Qiu seriously at all, even though Chen Qiu possessed a Twelfth Stage Realm, because Chen Qiu had just broken through to the early stage of Divine Transformation, and his cultivation base was too low.
He never imagined that his Divine Transformation Apex cultivation's protective spiritual energy would be pierced by Chen Qiu's arrow!
If not for his heightened senses, he might have perished on the spot.
But he didn't have much time to think. The purple-blue arrow that had just shot past him exploded behind the Green Mountain Palace's Divine Transformation Apex elder, instantly illuminating the sky above the Three Spring Tower.
Even from dozens of miles away, one could clearly sense the powerful and violent spiritual energy emanating from the tower. Hundreds of thousands of thunder dragons, each carrying a terrifying might, instantly devoured the entire tower, and the resulting shockwave swept away the dust, quickly engulfing the surroundings.
The Three Spring Tower was now shrouded in a storm of wind and rain.
The dust soon dissipated, and as the hundreds of thousands of thunder dragons slowly disappeared into the earth, the Green Mountain Palace's Divine Transformation Apex elder stood in mid-air, covered in wounds, his eyes red and fixed on Chen Qiu.
"Do you really want me dead?"
"If I die, can you live?!"
After this strike, the Green Mountain Palace's Divine Transformation Apex elder was already severely injured, but his voice remained strong, and his spiritual energy wasn't chaotic, indicating that he was still in good condition.
However, the several Divine Transformation elders who followed him were already dead, their blood splattered in the air, becoming nameless corpses.
No one even knew their names. These Divine Transformation elders hadn't even had a chance to say a word. They had simply accompanied their leader, and before they could do anything, they perished.
Perhaps, before coming here, these Divine Transformation elders never imagined that as Divine Transformation cultivators, who were supposed to be the pinnacle of power in their region, they would die so easily.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
As the Green Mountain Palace's Divine Transformation Apex elder glared at Chen Qiu with a hideous expression and red eyes, his spiritual energy surged uncontrollably. Just as he was about to suppress Chen Qiu, Ao Tian, standing beside him, had already revealed his true form, activating the Ninth Stage Divine Transformation Domain "Hundred Phoenix Return to Nest."
The Green Mountain Palace's Divine Transformation Apex elder was enveloped within, and Ao Tian's divine sense locked onto him as he smiled and said, "Don't underestimate me."
"Not bad."
Chen Qiu, standing in mid-air, held the spirit bow transformed from the Heavenly Clue Umbrella, and glanced at the injuries on the Green Mountain Palace's Divine Transformation Apex elder, nodding slightly. It seemed that a normal attack could already break through the protective spiritual energy of a Divine Transformation Apex cultivator.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the Green Mountain Palace's Divine Transformation Apex elder, that strike was his full-power attack.
That strike was the result of activating the Lightning Summoning Art with all his spiritual energy and condensing it into an arrow.
If it were before he reached the Divine Transformation stage, it would have been a full-power attack beyond his trump card. But with the Boundless Essence Domain, a Twelfth Stage Soul Transformation Realm, it was merely a normal attack.
He glanced at the two confronting each other.
Again, he raised the spirit bow, slowly drawing the bowstring made of the power of heaven and earth. After a moment, an arrow filled with terrifying aura appeared on the bowstring, its purple-blue color shimmering.
However, he didn't release the bowstring right away.
After another moment, a similar purple-blue arrow slowly materialized.
Seven moments later, nine purple-blue arrows had appeared, and his divine sense had already locked onto the Green Mountain Palace's Divine Transformation Apex elder in the air.
"Damn."
The Green Mountain Palace's Divine Transformation Apex elder, sensing the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, couldn't help but turn his head in horror towards Chen Qiu's spirit bow, which now had nine purple-blue arrows! Just one arrow had injured him significantly, and now there were nine?
Wasn't that first arrow Chen Qiu's strongest move? But it wasn't over yet. He watched as three more arrows, each as white as snow, appeared on Chen Qiu's spirit bow, each containing countless floating snowflakes.
Twelve arrows in total!
His divine sense had locked onto the Green Mountain Palace's Divine Transformation Apex elder.
Seeing this, the Green Mountain Palace's Divine Transformation Apex elder finally understood the situation and laughed bitterly, turning to Ao Tian, "I see it now. It seems I'm destined to die here today."
"Go ahead."
"Even if I die, I'd rather die by your hand. At least we're of the same cultivation level, instead of dying at the hands of the unknown Chen Qiu!"
Ao Tian, sensing the power of the twelve arrows, took a step back to avoid being affected, then smiled at the Green Mountain Palace's Divine Transformation Apex elder, "Good. Chen Qiu is indeed an unknown."
"Can he be considered unknown?"
At that moment!
The twelve arrows shot towards the Green Mountain Palace's Divine Transformation Apex elder, their terrifying might causing the storm to reverse and surge upwards, reaching the sky!
"Well done!"
The Green Mountain Palace's Divine Transformation Apex elder roared, his face contorted with rage as his spiritual energy burst forth. Countless Sanskrit characters formed a spinning light shield around him, although he knew he would die here today. Still, he didn't want to go out so miserably!
Unable to dodge, he could only withstand the attack!
"Boom!!!"
All twelve arrows hit the Green Mountain Palace's Divine Transformation Apex elder and exploded simultaneously!
As countless thunder dragons exploded amidst the flying snow, all cultivators within hundreds of miles sensed the powerful and violent spiritual energy fluctuations.
When the smoke cleared, Chen Qiu stood in the air, holding the Heavenly Clue Umbrella, his expression calm as he watched the storm rage below. The entire Three Spring Tower had been reduced to rubble, and the Divine Transformation Apex elder of the Green Mountain Palace lay in a deep pit below.
On the day he reached the Divine Transformation stage, he became invincible.
Indeed, the Divine Transformation Apex cultivation was not weak. Despite such a heavy blow, his divine sense could still perceive that the Green Mountain Palace's Divine Transformation Apex elder hadn't died yet, although he was barely clinging to life.
If it were a one-on-one fight, he wouldn't have been so relaxed.
Although he possessed formidable battle prowess, the Divine Transformation Elder at the peak of his power was no weakling either. He could have easily charged forward and engaged in combat before the twelve arrows had fully materialized, possibly emerging victorious, but it wouldn't have been an effortless victory.
But he was not alone.
Standing before him was Ao Tian, who prevented the Green Mountain Palace's peak Divine Transformation Elder from getting close. With no way to advance or retreat, the Elder had no choice but to endure the onslaught of twelve arrows!
Each of these twelve arrows was imbued with the full force of the Lightning Summoning Art, enhanced by the Thousand Thunder Surge Domain of the Twelfth Stage Soul Transformation Realm, the cultivation of the Soul Transformation Realm, and various Spiritual Treasures with Entry effects.
The power of each arrow far surpassed the full force of a late-stage Divine Transformation strike.
It was a force beyond what a mortal could withstand.
"Cough, cough."
After a few breaths.
The Green Mountain Palace's peak Divine Transformation Elder, his bones shattered and immobile, lay at the bottom of the pit, staring up at Chen Qiu, who hovered in the air. His eyes filled with despair and a bitter smile, he said, "I refuse to accept this."
"It took me a thousand years to cultivate to my current realm."
"Why should I die at the hands of a young whippersnapper who hasn't even lived a hundred years?"
"Why?"
"Tell me, why? I won't accept this!!"
With his final words, the Green Mountain Palace's peak Divine Transformation Elder screamed hysterically, his voice hoarse with desperation, unconcerned about his severe injuries as blood sprayed from his mouth. His eyes, filled with despair and unwillingness, fixed on Chen Qiu.
In truth, his hatred wasn't as intense as it seemed.
A thousand years of cultivation.
Since embarking on the path of Cultivation, he had no idea how many he had slain, but he knew his fate would be to die by another's blade, a common end for many Cultivators.
For them, living long enough to exhaust their lifespan was a luxury.
Most never reached that moment, unless they secluded themselves within their Sect, never venturing out. But having cultivated to such heights, how could they resist the urge to seek further progress?
Venturing out to seek opportunities meant accepting the risk of death by the blade.
This day, he knew, would eventually come.
But he refused to accept it. He couldn't fathom why he should die at the hands of one so young, who mere months ago had been a Peak Golden Core whippersnapper. Why?
"Why?"
Ao Tian transformed into his human form, standing in mid-air, looking down at the Green Mountain Palace's peak Divine Transformation Elder at the bottom of the pit, and said with a smile, "Good question. Think about it in your next life."
". . ."
Chen Qiu, holding the Heavenly Clue Umbrella, stood in the air, gazing down at the Green Mountain Palace's peak Divine Transformation Elder, whose blood was being washed away by the storm's rain. With a casual gesture, hundreds of thunder dragons roared towards the Elder.
Why?
It had taken him a thousand years to travel from the Great Xia Kingdom to the Profound Heaven Continent.
A thousand years of attempts and a decade's worth of accumulation.
In the entire history of the Great Xia Kingdom, he was the only one who had broken free of its confines to reach the Profound Heaven Continent. He had cultivated for a thousand years, and so had Ao Tian.
But he kept these thoughts to himself.
The thing he hated most in life was discussing the Dao.
Upon reaching the Divine Transformation stage, he had lacked a suitable target for his experiments on the sea's surface, leaving him unsatisfied. But now, the Green Mountain Palace's peak Divine Transformation Elder at the bottom of the pit was the perfect target.
Each hit elicited a scream from the Elder, providing a sense of impact and accuracy that brought a unique satisfaction, unlike his sea experiments.
As the Elder's injuries healed rapidly during the Heavenly phenomenon, Chen Qiu's final arrow took the Elder's last breath.
Only after confirming the Elder's death.
Did Chen Qiu reluctantly transform the Spirit Bow back into the Heavenly Clue Umbrella. In a hundred breaths, he had fired a hundred arrows, each with a sense of impact and accuracy unmatched by any other, each hitting the target with perfect precision. He wondered if he would ever find such a suitable sparring partner again.
And at this moment, his Soul Transformation Realm slowly dissipated.
Activating the Soul Transformation Realm consumed his spirit energy, and with his spirit energy, he could only maintain the Soul Transformation Realm for a thousand breaths. Regardless of how many Soul Transformation Realms he activated simultaneously, even if he activated four Soul Transformation Realms at once, it would still only last for a thousand breaths.
Only the main realm consumed spirit energy.
In other words, within a thousand breaths, his spirit energy was infinite. After a thousand breaths, he would need a few hundred breaths to replenish his spirit energy, and then he could activate the Soul Transformation Realm again.
However—
If a battle couldn't be resolved within a thousand breaths, even activating the Soul Transformation Realm again would be meaningless. At this point, he should take out the "Virtue Attack Token," and with a single strike, the world would achieve Grand Unification.
Perhaps it could be renamed the Grand Unification Token.
Chen Qiu turned his gaze towards the "Xuantian Continent Virtue Points Ranking List." This heavenly anomaly had only added 39.8 billion virtue points to his total, far less than the last time when a Twelfth Rank Nascent Soul provided virtue points. Last time, he gained a total of 89.7 billion virtue points.
But perhaps he had guessed the situation.
The virtue points gained from the heavenly anomaly were mainly due to the healing of many people's difficult diseases, foundational injuries, and Divine Sense injuries through the anomaly. His previous heavenly anomaly had occurred not long ago.
It was possible that all the people had been healed by his previous anomaly, so this time, there weren't as many people to heal, naturally resulting in a significant decrease in virtue points. Or perhaps there weren't as many sick mortals in Central Province.
It seemed that next time, before such a situation, he should send people to beat up everyone below, ensuring they were all severely injured. Then, when the heavenly anomaly occurred, the virtue points gained would increase significantly.
If no one was injured, how could he gain virtue points? If no one committed evil, how could he demonstrate his goodness?
Just then—
Two consecutive ancient and ethereal Heavenly Path Edicts, which only he could hear, slowly sounded in his ears!
"Heavenly Path Edict: The Heavenly Path has sensed that in Central Province of Xuantian Continent, the human cultivator Chen Qiu has accumulated 30 billion virtue points through supreme means!
Having completed one of the Xuantian Continent's Milestone Tasks, a statue has been erected in the 'Heavenly Palace.'
A Middle-grade Heavenly Wheel is bestowed upon him."
"Heavenly Path Edict: The Heavenly Path has sensed that in Central Province of Xuantian Continent, the human cultivator Chen Qiu has been nominated by the Heavenly Path Edict twenty times due to his supreme reputation.
Having completed one of the Xuantian Continent's Milestone Tasks, a statue has been erected in the 'Heavenly Palace.'
A Middle-grade Heavenly Wheel is bestowed upon him."
When he created the Twelfth Rank Soul Transformation Realm and the heavenly anomaly occurred, these two Milestone Tasks were also completed.
Adding to the previous three statues, he now possessed five statues.
".
The raging storm had already subsided, and Chen Qiu took out a gift registry, glanced at the list of guests who had come to attend this "Kill Xiu Banquet," and then threw the registry into the hands of the Fatty Dragon he had released.
At this time, the Mock Heaven Sect members had all been released by him.
"Check if there's anything left to dig up in Three Spring Tower, and remember to pick up that Divine Transformation Body. Later, we'll visit these guests' homes one by one."
"I'll be back in a while."
After giving a few brief instructions, Chen Qiu's body moved with a thought, arriving at the Heavenly Palace high above the nine heavens.
Having too powerful of an attack method isn't good either.
Those few Divine Transformation Elders were blasted to pieces by him, and it was unclear if their Dantian's Divine Transformation Bodies were still intact. However, the Green Mountain Palace's Peak Divine Transformation Elder had profound cultivation, so his Divine Transformation Body should be fine.
When his Divine Sense spread out for the first time, he noticed that this group had given this banquet a very nice name.
"Kill Xiu Banquet."
Since they had given it such a name, the guest powers who came to attend should naturally be visited one by one.
Almost all the Divine Transformations from these powers had died here. If he didn't go, these powers would be swallowed up by others, which would be a waste.
".
Ao Tian stood on the ruins of Three Spring Tower with a complex expression, watching the Mock Heaven Sect disciples who were neatly and uniformly digging through the bodies and dismantling the restrictions.
Some were searching for the treasure trove of Three Spring Tower, while others were digging up Spirit Plants.
Their division of labor was clear.
Especially under the command of the Outer Gate Elder Qu Gui, the group was very efficient, giving off a sense of being a regular army.
"Father, they look so professional."
Black Dragon, flying beside Ao Tian, also gazed down and said, "Suddenly, I feel like our Dragon Clan ancestors may have wasted a lot of spoils of war."
"Hmm."
After a long silence, Ao Tian said, "After all, everyone has their specialties."
"Not necessarily."
Fatty Dragon, who had arrived beside the two without them noticing, sighed and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, but when the Mock Heaven Sect was starting out, they were too poor. Even these Spirit Plants, which almost every sect has, the Mock Heaven Sect didn't have."
"Even those Spirit Soils, the Mock Heaven Sect didn't have."
"These things are what the Mock Heaven Sect desperately seeks."
"Hmm."
Ao Tian silently nodded, "Desperately seeking is good, very good."
He had a way with words.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
The Mock Heaven Sect's methods of confiscating property were too skilled, and their division of labor was absolutely clear. If the Dragon Clan hadn't signed a Ten Thousand Year Blood Pact with the Mock Heaven Sect, then when Chen Qiu grew up...
Would the Mock Heaven Sect possibly visit Dragon Island with such methods? After all, on the entire Xuantian Continent, Dragon Island's wealth was well-known.
He suddenly felt that he could become the Dragon Clan's most significant contributor in their ancient books, not only because he had resolved the Dragon Clan's extinction crisis but also because he had befriended the Mock Heaven Sect.
