Refining the Heavenly Dragon Source
After deciding to suppress the Heavenly Tribulation for the time being, Zhou Tong looked at the Heavenly Dragon's essence within his body. He pondered for a moment, then thought to himself, "I've already advanced to the fourth stage of Dragon Transformation, so I should be able to refine a trace of the Heavenly Dragon Source. This ' Indestructible Heavenly Merit ' happens to have an extremely strong refining effect on essences..."
Zhou Tong didn't wait long and immediately activated the "Indestructible Heavenly Merit" to refine a portion of the Heavenly Dragon Source.
He divided the Heavenly Dragon Source from the dragon horn within his body into five parts, and directly gave one part to the "Indestructible Heavenly Merit" for refinement.
As Zhou Tong Zhou Tong refined a portion of the Heavenly Dragon Source, various raindrops of light suddenly appeared on his body. These were the most primordial life essences, making him appear like an immortal god, radiant and beautiful.
"Hold head high!"
The dragon's roar echoed through the ages, as if a celestial dragon was slowly merging into Zhou Tong's body. He was enveloped in dragon energy, feeling as if he were about to ascend to heaven, his entire being shrouded in mist and haze.
The Heavenly Dragon Source truly seized the Fortune heaven and earth, using it to cleanse Zhou Tong's physical body, almost transforming him completely.
The dragon energy gradually merged into Zhou Tong's body. Zhou Tong circulated the "Indestructible Heavenly Merit," drawing upon the essence of these Heavenly Dragon Source to continuously cleanse his physical body, constantly changing his bones and blood. His already incredibly strong physical body was almost about to take another small step forward.
"Crunch!" "Crunch!"...
His entire body was trembling violently, his flesh was shaking constantly, and his internal organs were undergoing a blood transfusion, causing him excruciating pain all over his body.
Zhou Tong had only cultivated the Dragon Transformation Scroll of the Indestructible Heavenly Merit, using it to refine his origin, which would inevitably cause some "rejection reactions" in the other secret realms of his body.
"I didn't expect it to hurt so much..." Zhou Tong was also somewhat incredulous, but he gritted his teeth and endured this Purgatory torment.
Logically speaking, Zhou Tong's Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body was already extremely powerful. Even if he cultivated techniques like the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art and the Indestructible Heavenly Merit that devoured origins, he shouldn't have experienced such a change after only devouring one origin.
But this is actually the correct statement, because in a sense, Tianlong is also— True Dragon!
The True Dragon's Ten Fiends Physique still surpasses physiques like the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body and the Primordial Sacred Body, and is on the same level as the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, and Chaos Body.
Most importantly, the Heavenly Dragon Source brought about by the Heavenly Tribulation was left behind by a celestial dragon of unknown level. It might even be Quasi-Emperor, Great Emperor, or even a celestial being-level celestial dragon!
In other words, when Zhou Tong first activated the Devouring Power of the Indestructible Heavenly Merit, what he devoured was a physique that surpassed his own.
This was a true transformation, but also an inhuman torment.
Zhou Tong felt as if his whole body was cracking open. The Deity within his internal organs were constantly chanting unknown scriptures, as if they were about to unleash a terrifying power beyond the ordinary. It was as if all the bones in his body were breaking and reforming.
The source of the Heavenly Dragon was far too domineering. Fortunately, Zhou Tong possessed the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body. If other beings who had cultivated the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art had devoured such a level of source on their first attempt, they would probably have exploded and died.
After a long time, Zhou Tong finally completed this absorption.
Beneath him lay a pile of debris: broken bones, dried viscera fragments, and stale Purple Blood. Even Zhou Tong felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of it; it was all that had shed from his body.
"Could my Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body also be transforming into Chaos Body?" Zhou Tong felt somewhat like he was in a dream, and he tried his best to examine his physical body internally.
Perhaps because he had refined too little of the Heavenly Dragon Source, his body was still filled with flawless Purple Blood, and his physique had not undergone any more extraordinary qualitative changes.
"Huh!? No!! A third Divine Form form has appeared in my Wheel Sea!!" Zhou Tong's face lit up with joy.
Logically speaking, the prototype of this third Divine Form should not appear now, but should only appear after one has advanced to the Immortal Platform Secret Realm!
"This third Divine Form's prototype... is not Immortal Phoenix, it's a dragon! True Dragon!!" Zhou Tong could see very clearly that the third Divine Form's prototype that appeared in his Wheel Sea was a long, thin thing, and it vaguely had four legs. If there were no surprises, this was True Dragon!
The third Divine Form is the True Dragon Divine Form!
"The Indestructible Heavenly Merit truly lives up to its reputation as a peerless masterpiece created by the Ruthless Great Emperor. It has actually caused such a change in my Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body, allowing me to develop my third Divine Form ahead of schedule!" Zhou Tong's joy was still hard to conceal.
He is now certain that although he still possesses the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body, the essence of his physique has quietly taken a small step forward, and he is about to surpass other Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body.
"I haven't completely refined the Heavenly Dragon Source I obtained during the Heavenly Tribulation yet. I believe that once I fully refine it, my third Divine Form will definitely appear! My True Dragon Divine Form should be fully born when I reach the peak of the Dragon Transformation stage!!" Zhou Tong was very confident.
If he could completely refine these Heavenly Dragon Source, his Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body would not only take a small half-step forward, but a whole small step forward.
Taking a small step, although still belonging to the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body, it has vaguely reached the limit of this system, and will be one of the greatest assets on the Emperor's Path in the future!
"It seems the next plan needs a slight change... I need to take Ye Fan to the Myriad Dragon Nest. I want to see the origin of the True Dragon Divine Medicine and learn the True Dragon Treasure Art!" Zhou Tong thought to himself.
The Myriad Dragon Nest is the territory of the Primordial Imperial Clan, and the coffin of the Ruthless Great Emperor is also there. If Ye Fan is not brought in, it will definitely be extremely dangerous.
Moreover, the True Dragon Divine Medicine belongs to the Ruthless Great Emperor, and it contains the Ruthless Great Emperor's will. If Ye Fan hadn't been brought in, the True Dragon Divine Medicine might not have appeared in front of Zhou Tong.
"Let's put aside the matter of the True Dragon Divine Medicine for now and get checked again to see if there are any potential health problems!"
Zhou Tong took a deep breath and continued to circulate the "Indestructible Heavenly Merit". He didn't know if it was because he had refined the Heavenly Dragon Source or for some other reason, but he found that he could circulate the "Indestructible Heavenly Merit" more smoothly.
Even the Sea of Wheels Realm, the Dao Palace Realm, and the Four Extremities Realm seem to have begun to cooperate with the operation of the Indestructible Heavenly Merit.
With just one refinement of the origin, Zhou Tong almost mastered all four secret realms.
It should be noted that in his Sea of Wheels Realm, he cultivated the Feather Ascension Great Emperor's "Feather Transformation Scripture," in the Dao Palace Realm, he cultivated the Emperor Venerable's "Emperor Zun Scripture," and in the Four Extremities Realm, he cultivated the Hengyu the Great's "Hengyu Scripture."
The scriptures in each secret realm are different, but it seems that a small part of them have been forcibly integrated by the "Indestructible Heavenly Merit".
This is what domineering is all about!
"Not only have the four secret realms been slightly connected, but more importantly... my newly advanced fourth stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm has actually been completely stabilized? Now I can launch an attack on the fifth stage?" Zhou Tong was very surprised. It was just a part of the Heavenly Dragon Source, yet it had such a terrifying effect?
"No, we can't rush this fast. We need to be more steady. Let's cultivate a few secret techniques first. Maybe while cultivating these techniques, we can make the fourth transformation of the Dragon Transformation complete on its own. Then, it will overflow naturally, and we won't need to 'rush' anymore..."
