Body Becomes Emperor

"Nine is the ultimate number. Although I have been pushing the Hegemon Body forward and transforming over the years, it is still very difficult to break through nine and reach ten. My efforts over the years have only made the tenth Divine Form appear slightly!" Zhou Tong stared at the runes and Order Divine Chains belonging to the God-Striking Stone in his body.

The Divine Form of the Hegemon Body is integrated into the origin of the body. Over the past twenty years, Zhou Tong has forcibly manifested the profound meaning of the origin of his body by forging his Golden Body body with Karma Fire, thereby gradually mastering it.

However, the illusory runes on this God-Striking Stone only indicate that the tenth Divine Form has not been fully cultivated, but only a shadow has been formed. Even if it truly advances to the Quasi-Emperor realm in the future, it will be impossible for this Divine Form to manifest.

"This time, I will completely transform my physique and imprint the God-Striking Stone completely into my body!"

Zhou Tong controlled the Karma Fire, focusing on refining the runes and divine chains of the God-Striking Stone, while also infusing it with all his understanding of the God Striking Stone Treasure Art.

"Clang!!"

Like forging iron, countless amounts of Power of Faith and Karma Fire were consumed before a brilliant, radiant rune gradually emerged. At that moment, the Order Divine Chains belonging to the God-Striking Stone also manifested, becoming incredibly real.

A drop of blood was refined from Zhou Tong's body. This drop of blood was a mixture of crimson and purple, with red accounting for more than 60%, nearly 70%. The blood exuded an Immortal Divinity luster, and a vast pressure was spreading outwards.

The Quasi-Emperor Blood!

Without a doubt, this drop of blood, which had been repeatedly tempered by Zhou Tong with Karma Fire and his own understanding of the Great Dao of the God Striking Stone Treasure Art, had broken through a limit and officially become the Quasi-Emperor Blood.

But this was only a drop of blood in Zhou Tong's body; there were countless drops of blood in Zhou Tong's body.

"Only one drop of blood... but even if I have to rebuild myself drop by drop with blood, I will complete the blood transfusion!"

"Thump!!"

The Hegemonic Bell drifted out from between Zhou Tong's eyebrows, directly taking away the drop of Quasi-Emperor- level Hegemonic Blood that had completely manifested the God-Striking Stone.

Meanwhile, the Karma Fire continue to burn, and profound insights into the Great Dao continue to flow.

Having learned from the first experience, the second drop of blood was quickly refined and flew into the Hegemonic Bell as well.

Then, the third drop, the fourth drop...

While refining his blood, Zhou Tong used the Immortal Phoenix Treasure Art to recover.

Small streams converge into a sea, and for a whole month, the Karma Fire continuously.

When the Power of Faith of the entire Divine Domain was completely exhausted and the Karma Fire was extinguished, they finally managed to gather enough blood for two bodies.

"The blood from both bodies is enough. Next is the final ultimate transformation!" Zhou Tong sat cross-legged on the altar, his whole body began to glow, and his blood boiled with a rumbling sound, like the roar of rivers and seas, like the vibration of thunder, earth-shattering and awe-inspiring.

A strange and domineering wave spread, affecting the entire Divine Domain Divine Domain and causing it to tremble, resonating with the operation of the Zhou Tong Scripture.

"Puff!"

Zhou Tong's near- Quasi-Emperor indestructible body cracked open, and drops of blood, red with nearly 30% to 40% purple, flowed out. That was the unique blood and qi of the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body.

After countless drops of blood were expelled from the body, they all converged into a jade bottle.

He was expelling the old blood from his body, and at the same time, inside the Hegemonic Bell, red and purple blood gushed out like a waterfall, pouring into Zhou Tong's body, creating a terrifying scene.

In that instant, Zhou Tong's body almost exploded, his internal organs Rending, and his bones were broken and then reformed.

The old blood in his body was expelled, and new blood entered, radiating a vast Quasi-Emperor pressure that his flesh and bones could hardly withstand. In the end, Zhou Tong had only forcibly extracted a body full of Quasi-Emperor Blood; his muscles, bones, and internal organs were still only at the peak of the Great Sage level, not yet reaching that level.

And at this moment, his final transformation finally began.

His entire body began to glow, his old skin peeled off, and broken bones, shattered pieces of flesh, and even fragments of internal organs were expelled from his body. This was an extremely cruel transformation, beginning with blood, a complete metamorphosis.

The entire transformation process lasted for half a month. The Quasi-Emperor Blood he had refined was extremely depleted. In the end, his bones and flesh underwent several transformations during this process before he reached the standard of Quasi-Emperor.

When everything was finished, his flesh and blood shone with a brilliant luster, his white bones glowed, and a strong and powerful body was formed, flowing with precious light.

An imperial aura erupted from his body!

It's a genuine Quasi-Emperor product, but has it truly entered this field?

Zhou Tong carefully sensed his body. After his complete transformation, his strength had indeed skyrocketed to an extremely terrifying level, far surpassing even the peak of the Great Sage. It was simply immeasurable.

However, this transformation is only a change in the physical body; the primordial spirit and the Great Dao have not yet undergone a complete transformation.

To be precise, it was merely a physical ascension to the throne.

Even so, Zhou Tong finally understood why Quasi-Emperor were so high and mighty, crushing all cultivators.

Because in his current state of physical emperorhood, he doesn't need to make a move at all. Just releasing the energy of his physical body is enough to make a Great Sage tremble and have his body Rending.

"To become an emperor in the physical body—this is the absolute Sovereign of the mortal realm, high above all, suppressing all living beings..." As Zhou Tong carefully contemplated his current state, he felt increasingly moved.

Even though he had only achieved the physical level of Emperor, he felt that he could destroy a star field with a wave of his hand, refine the sun, moon Star Scripture with a wave of his hand, and kill a group of saints with a single Killing Intent in his heart.

This surge in strength stirred up a storm of emotions within Zhou Tong.

"No wonder the Quasi-Emperor stage and the Great Sage stage are like heaven and earth respectively. I have only become an Emperor in the physical body and I am already so terrifying..." Zhou Tong said softly. Although it is only a difference of one realm, it is indeed a world of difference.

"Nearly 70% of the Azure Heaven True Blood... The transformation of the Azure Heaven True Blood is becoming increasingly difficult." Zhou Tong sighed inwardly. He could refine 50% of the Azure Heaven True Blood during the Great Sage stage, but even at the Great Sage -Quasi-Emperor stage, he could only bring the proportion of true blood close to 70%.

"If my calculations are correct, once I fully enter the Quasi-Emperor, my Azure Heaven True Blood should officially reach 70%. And in the subsequent Quasi-Emperor stages, for every three Heavens I cross, I gain an additional 10% of True Blood. At the Ninth Heaven, my True Blood will reach a perfect state of 100%!"

The limit is 100% true blood. The closer you get to this limit, the greater the difficulty. The entire Quasi-Emperor stage can only increase true blood by 30%. But this final 30% transformation is a world of difference.

Just like an exam, getting from zero to fifty points is very easy; getting from fifty to seventy points is much more difficult; and getting from seventy to one hundred points is even more difficult.

"That's right, the tenth Divine Form!" Zhou Tong immediately realized and looked inside his body.

Indeed, the phantom of a stone appeared, which was Zhou Tong's tenth Divine Form — the God-Striking Stone.

He has not yet fully advanced to the Quasi-Emperor level, so his Divine Form are still illusory.

But even if it is illusory, it is still Divine Form. As long as one enters the Quasi-Emperor, one can definitely make it manifest.
