Chapter 250: Xi Xi and the Great Black Dog Meet Again, Who Seized Yu Liqing's Three Souls and Seven Pores (Part 1)
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
Powerful air currents raged like frenzied silk threads, lashing the air and emitting dull booming sounds.
Li Cheng's body swelled and expanded, layer upon layer, with muscles stacked like boulders, and his skin seemed to turn transparent. The blood within him flowed like molten mercury, causing the temperature in the entire courtyard to rise sharply.
His jet-black hair danced wildly, eyes opening and closing, and within his pupils, golden smoke continuously diffused.
This was Li Cheng's state after fully stimulating the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit.
His body grew taller and more robust, reaching a height of two and a half meters, resembling a small giant. His entire being was enveloped in blood-colored smoke, with flesh like crystal, bones like gold, and eyes shimmering with golden smoke as if filled with the scent of incense.
In his left arm, a crisp clanging sound echoed incessantly, as if a peerless divine blade was vibrating within, yearning to burst out of its sheath and unleash a scorching blade light.
A dazzling and piercing radiance brewed within Li Cheng's left hand.
Li Cheng's gaze burned intensely as he stimulated this mythical weapon with the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit. The Three-Pronged Double-Bladed Saber... It was indeed an unexpected idea, but now it seemed to be quite effective.
This saber, resembling a flounder, showed no reaction when stimulated by other mythical weapons.
Even the Heaven-Defying Face, a mythical weapon from Qitian City, failed to elicit any response from the saber. Li Cheng speculated that it was because the Heaven-Defying Face was not complete, only a third of it.
If three Heaven-Defying Faces were combined, the Three-Pronged Double-Bladed Saber would undoubtedly react.
Therefore, Li Cheng decided to stimulate it with the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit.
The Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit, having undergone the ultimate tempering, pushed his body to its limits, stimulating the mythical weapon!
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
The clanging sound resembled thundering explosions.
An incredibly pure divine nature surged into his limbs and bones, stimulating them like electric currents—the power of a divine weapon tempering the physical body.
However, Li Cheng's physical body had already undergone tremendous enhancements, not just from the twice-transformed Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit. It also benefited from the divine incarnation he obtained when he cultivated the Law Sky Earth Spirit Bright True Ape.
That time, his physical body had endured tremendous tempering and improvement!
Now, to further enhance Li Cheng's physical body, it required more than ordinary energy. Sensing the divine nature of the mythical weapon spreading through his limbs and bones, Li Cheng abruptly spread his five fingers, causing the blood within to surge. Waves of heat rolled, scorching the drifting snow above the courtyard.
It was as if countless blades hidden within his muscles burst forth in an instant!
The tempered flesh, at this moment, felt a tinge of pain!
Li Cheng's eyes blazed, and his body exuded fine, scorching sweat.
It was as if, in an instant, an unparalleled swordsman had enveloped him with his full-powered blade, each stroke of the sword resembling the radiant light of the scorching sun, filled with heat and lashing.
His flesh and blood crackled and popped, and his skin rippled like a taut drum, constantly undulating as the blade light from the double-bladed saber struck it, causing the skin to twitch and quiver like a coiled dragon.
Thick tendons bore the slashes of the blade, undergoing unimaginable transformations!
The mud pill between his eyebrows tore open!
The Star-Plucking Eye suddenly shone brilliantly like the scorching sun, its dazzling light illuminating everything.
Li Cheng seemed to see within his body a battlefield where every inch of flesh and blood clashed with the blade's energy, and the divine nature resisted.
Muscles, bones, blood, organs, skin—every part of his physical body underwent astonishing transformations!
Li Cheng naturally wouldn't waste this golden opportunity.
Each transformation of the physical body was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity!
This was the moment to solidify the foundation of a martial artist!
Clenching his five fingers, a thunderous roar of a thunder dragon reverberated through the courtyard. The Eight Treasure Golden Thunder Dragon Staff fell into Li Cheng's hand, and the surging blood and energy enveloped the divine weapon, elevating it to a higher level.
The sky trembled, and the snow evaporated!
Li Cheng's five Martial Saint ultimate skills, including his self-created Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant, had already reached the realm of perfection. After obtaining the Divine Seed Martial Art, it even showed signs of transformation towards the Divine Seed Martial Art.
Another Martial Saint ultimate skill that had reached perfection was the Ten Thousand Dragons Suppressing Deity.
As for the remaining three Martial Saint ultimate skills—the Primordial Heavenward Staff, the Thousand Mountains Solo Saber, and the Ethereal Eight Heavens Steps—Li Cheng had only cultivated them to the Mastery Realm.
There was still some distance to reach the realm of perfection.
Once a martial art is cultivated to the realm of perfection, it can be integrated into every move, and it can even form a true intent domain. Within this domain, the power is greatly enhanced, and the killing force becomes even more terrifying!
Li Cheng gripped the thunder dragon treasure staff, and electric currents surged and intertwined. As he wielded the staff, countless dazzling electric webs exploded.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The staff lashed out, and countless staff shadows crisscrossed and densely shattered the air. In the courtyard, Li Cheng held the treasure staff, tempering his body and practicing his martial arts with the divine nature of the mythical weapons within him.
As he tempered his body and practiced his martial arts, the mythical weapons' divine nature rapidly depleted.
Primordial Heavenward Strike!
Qitian's Ultimate Strike!
Li Cheng continuously practiced these two killing moves of the Primordial Heavenward Staff.
Every muscle twitched, and the tempering of the tendons and blood seemed to undergo drastic changes at this moment!
It was a critical juncture!
The blood surged, and the mercury-like blood roared. Tendons tightened as if a mythical divine bow was forcibly drawn, and the sound of tearing created ripples.
The true energy danced wildly, and the primordial true energy also surged, striking the void.
Buzz!
In an instant, Li Cheng stood motionless, holding the Eight Treasure Golden Thunder Dragon Staff with one hand. It was as if he had undergone a transformation, and every subtle change within a radius of several dozen zhang was within his perception.
It seemed as if with a single thought, the staff in his hand could strike down any target, unstoppable and unrivaled in its might!
This meant that Li Cheng had also cultivated the Primordial Heavenward Staff, an extremely challenging Divine Warrior's ultimate skill, to the point of Transcendence, giving birth to a True Intent Domain. Within this domain, there was a sense of unparalleled dominance.
The Divine Warrior's ultimate skills were applicable to the Grandmaster realm. Even for Grandmasters who had achieved the union of heaven and man, or those at the Apex Three Flowers stage, the transformation was merely in terms of power. However, in terms of technique, the gap would not be significant.
Take You Liqing, for example. Although he was a Grandmaster at the Apex Three Flowers stage, his primary combat method was still the Ten Thousand Dragons Suppressing Deity, another Divine Warrior's ultimate skill.
The Divine Seed Martial Arts were indeed powerful, but once activated, they not only consumed True Aura but also heavily drained one's essence, energy, and spirit. They were considered ultimate killing moves.
Only after reaching the Divine Warrior realm, when one's essence, energy, and spirit formed a perfect cycle, and their physical body became transparent and seamlessly connected with heaven and earth, could they borrow the power of heaven and earth for their own use.
Only then could they freely and fearlessly display the Divine Seed Martial Arts.
Take You Liqing, for instance. This top-tier Grandmaster at the Apex Three Flowers stage died because he overstimulated the Divine Seed, causing it to overload and explode.
"The third Divine Warrior's ultimate skill has reached Transcendence!"
Li Cheng's eyes shone brightly. Once a martial art reached Transcendence, it became effortless to use in combat, meaning Li Cheng's martial arts variations increased during battles, making his overall strength even more formidable.
"Besides, there's also the Thousand Mountains Solo Saber..."
Li Cheng closed his eyes, and suddenly, the world seemed to fall into silence. It was as if he was walking through the vast universe, strolling amidst the wind and snow.
In an instant, his eyes flashed.
The muscles and bones in his left arm resonated, and a dazzling and brilliant saber light burst forth! It was like a thunderclap in the sky, with the air roaring and saber energy raging!
The saber energy was the Righteous Thunder Evil-Slaying Three-Bladed Saber within his arm. The Divine Seed, which had formed a vortex in the Marvelous Gate of his spine, seemed to be stimulated by the saber technique at this moment!
In an instant, the sky above the courtyard turned dark.
Li Cheng took a powerful step forward, and with just this one step, it was as if he had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, with heaven and earth shrinking beneath his feet!
Then, he clenched his five fingers together like a saber.
Stepping forward,
Swinging his arm,
Twisting his waist,
Drawing the saber!
The faint sound of the saber cutting through the wind and snow rang out, exploding with a crisp clanging! Countless air currents, snowflakes, True Auras, and Divine Energies seemed to be sliced apart by this single saber strike!
Clang, clang, clang!
A dazzling saber cry rang out, as if a silver moon had exploded within Li Cheng's left hand!
The terrifying saber light raged and rolled, as if breaking free from its cage, with the sharp saber energy slicing through the air in the courtyard, resembling a dragon flipping its body! On Li Cheng's left arm, a faint shadow of the Three-Pronged Double-Bladed Saber appeared.
Faint and elusive!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
"The Thousand Mountains Solo Saber has also reached Transcendence! It can merge with the Two-Bladed Saber Divine Seed!"
Li Cheng's black hair whipped wildly, and the golden smoke of flowing fragrance emanating from his eyes lingered without dispersing.
At this moment, the last trace of Divine Nature extracted from the Mythical Weapon was completely exhausted, tempering his physique.
Assisting in the cultivation of two Divine Warrior's ultimate skills to the point of Transcendence!
His five fingers trembled, and the air currents were sliced apart, with invisible saber intent swirling around, forming a unique and fierce sharp field!
Buzz—
The green Primordial True Energy, which had been swirling around his lower dantian, seemed to flow out of his body like a dragon.
After the Divine Aura came the True Aura, which was of a higher rank and power than the Divine Aura.
Above the True Aura was the Three Flowers True Aura, a powerful force that merged the essence, energy, and spirit of martial arts, cultivated by Supreme Grandmasters.
"Ten strands... The Primordial True Energy has reached ten strands."
Li Cheng exhaled a turbid breath, and his energy shot out like arrows.
His eyes flashed.
[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv5, 10%)]
"An unexpected joy."
Li Cheng raised his eyebrows. After the Dao Fruit reached level 5, accumulating maturity to increase its level became extremely challenging.
Even during the battle with You Liqing, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit had only increased slightly.
But now, by stimulating the Divine Nature of the Three-Pronged Double-Bladed Saber to temper his physique, it had increased by a full 4% maturity.
Of course, Li Cheng was also aware that a significant part of this was due to him cultivating two Divine Warrior's ultimate skills to Transcendence.
As expected, after a brief sensing, Li Cheng discovered that the profound enlightenment feedback was not strong.
The increase in Dao Fruit maturity gained from breaking through martial arts realm barriers through personal understanding and insight would not provide feedback in the form of a unique enlightenment.
He felt a slight sense of regret.
However, Li Cheng was content.
Feeling the complete calmness, as if entering a sage's time, Li Cheng suppressed the urge to stimulate the Two-Bladed Saber with the other five Dao Fruits.
This was mainly because he had not yet fully comprehended the day's cultivation and was not in a hurry to continue the stimulation.
However, extracting the Divine Nature from the Divine Armament to temper his physique had opened a new door for Li Cheng, giving him a clear direction for future martial arts improvement.
He raised his hand and looked at his left arm, which seemed to emit a lustrous glaze.
"I wonder... when will I be able to summon this Divine Armament and hold it firmly in my hand?"
Li Cheng couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.
It was an Upper Grade Four Imperial Divine Armament with extremely powerful capabilities, truly extraordinary.
Li Cheng suppressed the power of the Dao Fruit, and his qi and blood calmed down, restoring his slender and simple appearance.
He sat quietly under the eaves, as the wind and snow fell, piling up on the black-tiled roof, gradually accumulating.
The charcoal stove heated the water, and the green tea leaves continuously boiled within.
Li Cheng's eyes were lowered, deep in contemplation and reflection.
"In terms of martial arts, I've made tremendous progress. I've accumulated a total of six Divine Seed Martial Arts, including the Blood Crocodile Heaven Splitting Palm, which I acquired from Yu Liqing's collection. It's now complete."
"However, for the Eight Marvelous Gates of the Human Body, I need to plant eight Divine Seeds... I'm still missing two."
"The Divine Carving Technique of the Three-Pronged Double-Bladed Saber provided one Divine Seed, merging the Thousand Mountains Solo Saber, a Divine Warrior's ultimate skill, into a Divine Seed Martial Art. But it's still in the process of condensation and hasn't fully formed yet..."
"There's no rush. First, I'll refine the six Divine Seed Martial Arts I've acquired and plant them into the Marvelous Gates."
After obtaining the Divine Seeds, the speed of condensing Primordial True Energy would increase significantly.
If Li Cheng could simultaneously refine eight Divine Seeds into Primordial True Energy, it wouldn't take long for him to accumulate a full 108 strands of Primordial True Energy.
"My path in martial arts is clear, but in terms of Divine Nature, my cultivation is still only at the Divine Incarnation realm..."
"Although I have the Law Sky Earth Spirit Bright True Ape Divine Incarnation, a Three Purity Rank Divine Incarnation that allows me to ignore most Divine Nature pressures..."
"But ultimately, my Divine Nature cultivation is still somewhat lacking."
"The Seven Emotions and Six Desires... When the Seven Emotions are condensed into a Divine Incarnation, and the Six Desires are all cast into a Divine Foundation, they still lack a Divine Incarnation..."
Li Cheng's eyes narrowed. It wasn't easy to condense the Six Desires into a Divine Incarnation.
"If only there was a Divine Incarnation that could directly gather the Six Desires."
A thought crossed Li Cheng's mind, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
"It seems... not impossible..."
"There are three Five Elders Rank Odd Temples in Heavenly Origin Sect, one in the Divine Sect, one in Divine Carving Ridge, and one in Temple Administration Department!"
"The Odd Temple under Temple Administration Department is called the Six Desires Evil Exterminating Lu Xuan Sword Immortal Odd Temple..."
"It's one of the few Odd Temples that integrate the Six Desires..."
Li Cheng's heart stirred with anticipation.
"Perhaps, I can try visiting it and see if I can condense the Six Desires into a Divine Incarnation in one go.
