Chapter 51 Metamorphosis
boom!
A world-destroying aura, contained yet restrained, gathered atop Yao Guang's head, transforming into a shimmering, crystal-clear vase. The vase's body emanated a demonic energy, seemingly eternal, and carried an incomparably terrifying "Dao".
This Devouring Heaven Path once slaughtered a golden age more than two hundred thousand years ago.
Bathed in the blood of kings, he ascended the throne amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, leaving an indelible impression on the world.
So much so that when she went into seclusion in her later years and entered a state of transformation, the various holy lands joined forces to exterminate the Devouring Heaven lineage, and were terrified of the Great Emperor's legacy to the extreme.
However, neither the Devouring Heaven Demon Art nor the Undying Heaven Art was ever truly eradicated.
Just as the Ruthless Great Emperor never truly died, but merely underwent transformation after transformation in this mortal world, awaiting the return of one person...
"The demonic body and the divine embryo are inseparable. Cultivating the Devouring Demonic Body and then transforming it into the Undying Divine Embryo is one path, the path taken by the Great Emperor. However, this path is too dangerous. Devouring countless origins and gathering them into one body inevitably results in the original owner's essence, energy, and spirit remaining in those origins, which can cause some problems with one's own mind. In the early stages, medicine may even be needed to regulate and treat it..."
"Therefore, later generations discovered another path, laying the foundation with the Undying Heavenly Art, raising several demonic bodies outside, first herding the demonic bodies, driving them to collect the great medicines of the human world, and when they matured, then using their own powerful divine embryos to devour the demonic bodies. With the demonic bodies filtering in between, although it cannot completely eliminate the side effects, it can save a lot of trouble."
"I initially chose the safer path, and a slower pace in the early stages was acceptable, but now... it's time to change course. It's a do-or-die situation; nothing can be built without destruction!"
Yao Guang suddenly stood up, all 108 divine lights around him faded away, and not a trace of sunlight could be seen anymore. His thick black hair danced wildly like dragons and snakes. Leaning against the side of the dragon-patterned black and gold cauldron, he looked like a demon god descending to earth. His eyes were incredibly empty, like two black holes that could devour everything.
The Great Dao Treasure Bottle floated above his head, constantly revealing a dazzling source of light within.
That was the essence of a powerful being from the second level of Sendai Heaven. It was extracted from all five secret realms and refined into this mass. The treasure bottle continuously absorbed and refined it, and strands of essence dripped down, irrigating Yao Guang's body.
boom!
His abdomen glowed, sipping this essence as if reshaping something. Under the nourishment of this essence, wisps of divine light emerged, weaving together Dao patterns, like celestial feathers dancing, encircling the Yao Guang and carrying him to immortality.
"This is..." Yao Guang's expression shifted slightly.
The black-robed man beside him chuckled softly, "A descendant of a divine body that has achieved ascension, not a truly flawless divine body, but with that kind of blood flowing through his veins. Since you have the courage to break through and rebuild, I will naturally not be stingy."
"I will certainly not disappoint my master."
Yao Guang closed his eyes and focused all his energy on his demonic arts. The divine embryo that had been nurtured within him earlier with his heavenly arts was now rejoicing. A god-like little figure was residing within him, frantically absorbing some of the qualities of the ascension to divine body.
Wisps of chaotic energy coiled around the glowing divine figure, and the energy emanating from it, which was capable of refining all laws, grew ever stronger.
After an unknown amount of time, the treasure bottle returned to Yao Guang's body. He opened his eyes again, looked at the black-robed man beside him, and said calmly, "Master, I am ready."
"Alright, it's time to reclaim the lost inheritance of the Jiang family." The man in black robes smiled, then bowed deeply to the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron, before lifting the ultimate weapon and disappearing into the oasis along with Yao Guang.
When the Devouring Heaven lineage was choosing a habitat, some disagreements arose. One group chose the Yao Guang Holy Land, while the other wanted to take over the Ancient Jiang family. They took a liking to Jiang Yifei, whose bloodline had been restored, and wanted to cultivate him into a divine embryo. However, the Jiang family discovered this and used ruthless methods to kill them with the Sun God Furnace.
This is the great cause and effect.
Therefore, in the original timeline, when Jiang Taixu, the God King of the Jiang family, returned from Zishan, the Yaoguang Holy Land secretly borrowed the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron to attack the God King, both to stir up trouble and to seek revenge.
Now, with fate quietly changing, Jiang Rui, the most powerful figure in the Jiang family lineage, has perished in Yaochi. The Jiang family is leaderless on its journey back to the family from Yaochi, and Jiang Yifei is still recovering from serious injuries. It is the perfect time for revenge!
If not now, when?
boom!
Not long after, tens of thousands of miles away from the sacred land of Yaochi, the shockwaves from the collision of ultimate weapons emanated from the earth, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Jiang Yifei, dressed in white and exuding elegance, fought against a mysterious young man, sinking fourteen mountain ranges. However, he was ultimately defeated due to the recurrence of hidden injuries sustained in his earlier battle with Yuan Qingsu.
"The Jiang family slaughtered one of the Devouring Heaven lineages. Now, Jiang Yifei is severely injured by the Demon King and devoured by the Divine Embryo. It can be considered retribution. Every sip and every bite is preordained by Heaven. The affairs of the world are truly wondrous."
The man in black robes, with a black and gold cauldron adorned with dragon patterns above his head, slaughtered members of the Jiang family while watching Yao Guang devour Jiang Yifei alive with the Great Dao Treasure Bottle. A slight smile played on his lips, and he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
......
The twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth, and thirtieth giant particles.
At the Immortal Pool, a sacred place in the Jade Pool, Yuan Qingsu continues to grow stronger.
He was undergoing a transformation. His heart, nourished by the blood of the supreme being, began to crack after accumulating a vast amount of life essence. The old shell fell off, and a brand new divine heart was born on this foundation.
The newborn heart has natural Dao patterns, densely intertwined, and each beat brings surging blood energy that washes over Yuan Qingsu's entire body, further strengthening his already robust physique.
Previously, as a mortal, Yuan Qingsu's heart chamber originally contained a deity. Now, with the transformation of her heart, various profound mysteries have arisen, merging with a seemingly real yet illusory [Heaven-Devouring Hell Furnace]. This deity has been forcibly dissolved, transforming into streams of pure essence, energy, and spirit, which, along with some of her life imprints, rushed into her "Dao Self".
After pushing open the "door of wisdom," the illusory "Taoist self" that emerges takes on a more real quality.
The Supreme Bloodline also became increasingly active during this process.
"My Supreme Bloodline was born from Shi Hao, but it was not a copy of his bone. It involves much more, including 840 million particles that combine and promote each other. The Supreme Bloodline nourishes the Wheel of Life in the Sea of Wheels, giving rise to the unprecedented phenomenon of the Divine Elephant. The Sea of Wheels is now initially complete. It is now nourishing the five internal organs of the Dao Palace, which involves the Dao Self, which is also being nurtured by some kind of power."
"The heart is just the beginning. Once all five internal organs are fully nourished, that power will begin to emerge, and at that time, the Dao Palace Secret Realm will be initially perfected..."
Beneath the lush, ancient peach tree, Yuan Qingsu comprehended the various treasures within the human body. The heavenly sounds of the Dao lingered in his ears, resonating in his heart like silk threads, keeping him constantly in a state of Daoist tranquility.
The boy's eyes shone with a clear light as he opened and closed, like a young immortal king sitting cross-legged here. Wisps of Dao energy flowed around him, blending with the aura of the nine-aperture, eight-hole strange stone, ethereal and graceful, like a vessel of the Great Dao.
Li Daoqing and the Ji family members, who were brought in by the Queen Mother of the West, were greatly surprised when they saw it.
This aura is truly extraordinary, as if it doesn't belong to this world.
"You've broken through again?" The Queen Mother of the West was somewhat speechless. Even her own family members hadn't used this important place so thoroughly, yet this outsider had repeatedly broken through since arriving.
"No, I only made some gains while rebuilding the Dao Palace, a secret realm."
Yuan Qingsu spoke calmly, her gaze sweeping over the gray-haired Ji family powerhouse. In an instant, the surroundings fell silent; the wind ceased, and the flowing water was utterly still. A profound majesty descended upon them in the stillness.
The celestial mist and white clouds above everyone's heads churned and transformed into ninety-nine dragons that danced in the sky above this land, their scales and claws fluttering.
One after another, dragon heads descended around the place where the powerful Ji family was located. Their eyes were indifferent as they looked at each other, and their whiskers fluttered down their chins, making them seem both real and illusory, which sent chills down one's spine.
"cough......"
Li Daoqing took a step to the side, blocking the powerful figure from the Ji family. He coughed lightly and said, "Qingsu, we had many misunderstandings with the Ji family before. Now that the misunderstandings have been cleared up, let's turn hostility into friendship."
"Is the Holy Lord serious?"
"I'm serious. Brother Ji guarantees that our two families will maintain friendly relations in the future. Here are five pieces of [Enlightenment Ancient Tree Tea] that he gave me. Also, regarding your indecent... no, your feelings for Xiao Ziyue of the Ji family, I've discussed it with Brother Ji. You young people can exchange ideas more. If you find each other agreeable, it will be excellent for both the Yao Guang Holy Land and the Ji family."
Li Daoqing laughed and said that he was happy to see the Ji family's situation come to fruition. Firstly, he did not want to fight to the death with the extreme Dao families, and secondly, he hoped to have new helpers and allies who could put enough pressure on Yaochi during the negotiations to bring this outstanding disciple back.
A marriage alliance with the Ji family would be a good choice.
Although the two sides were hostile before, even fighting to the death, the more important thing between the Holy Land and the aristocratic families is interests. When the interests are sufficient, grudges can be put aside.
Yuan Qingsu nodded slightly and agreed, saying, "Okay."
He didn't have much of an opinion on this. Staying in Yaochi for now was his wish, but that didn't mean he wouldn't go out later.
With the ninety-nine dragons gone, the powerful figure from the Ji family breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon hearing this, Ji Ziyue's cheeks puffed out slightly, and she glared angrily at Yuan Qingsu, but she couldn't say anything due to her family's arrangements. Ji Haoyue's eyebrows twitched, and she didn't say much either. She simply strode to Yuan Qingsu's side, raised her right hand, and cut her wrist on the strange stone.
Drops of divine blood fell and sprinkled onto the strange rocks.
