Promotion to Early Infant Transformation; One Strike Slaughters Billions

"Hum!"

As the system's voice faded, Qin Hao felt his Killing Artistic Conception being frantically elevated.

For a cultivator, starting from the Nascent Soul Great Perfection, any further improvement in cultivation base requires a breakthrough in their artistic conception.

If the artistic conception does not break through, no amount of spiritual power will suffice to advance one's cultivation.

It was just like Qin Hao before; his spiritual power had long been sufficient to break through to the mid-Soul Transformation stage.

Yet, he had been stuck by his artistic conception, ultimately remaining at the peak of the early Soul Transformation stage.

With the elevation of his Killing Artistic Conception, Qin Hao's cultivation base instantly surged to the mid-Soul Transformation stage.

Then, it broke through to the late Soul Transformation stage, and finally, to the Grand Perfection of God Transformation.

At this step, the artistic conception must also reach Grand Perfection to advance into the Infant Transformation stage.

At this moment, Qin Hao's Killing Artistic Conception had already been directly elevated to the Grand Perfection level by the system.

For a cultivator, the Infant Transformation stage represents a qualitative leap.

On one hand, the power controlled by an Infant Transformation Expert is Immortal Power, which far exceeds spiritual power.

When using Immortal Power to cast divine abilities and spells, the destructive force reaches a terrifying level.

Even the most ordinary Fireball Technique, when cast with Immortal Power, is enough to instantly kill a cultivator at the Grand Perfection of God Transformation level.

On the other hand, once the cultivation base reaches the Infant Transformation level, the artistic conception materializes, and its power undergoes an astonishing transformation.

To become an Infant Transformation Cultivator, one must obtain a sufficient amount of Immortal Qi.

Generally, when Soul Transformation cultivators from major factions advance to the Infant Transformation stage, they use a large amount of Immortal Jade to force all the spiritual power out of their bodies.

As for those impoverished cultivators, they must re-compress and refine their spiritual power, merging it with Immortal Qi until it is eventually assimilated into Immortal Power.

"Hum!"

Qin Hao's Infant Transformation was directly assisted by the system.

He instantly felt waves of violent Immortal Qi pouring into his body, beginning to scour his physical form and his Primordial Spirit.

At the same time, the spiritual power that had filled his body began to compress and refine frantically under the influence of a certain force.

These compressed spiritual powers were then continuously devoured by the surging Immortal Qi, transforming and merging into even more Immortal Power.

As the endless stream of Immortal Power integrated, Qin Hao felt his body being completely stripped of its Mortal Root and converted into an Immortal Body.

Qin Hao looked inward at his body and discovered that his bones, flesh, and meridians were all radiating a purple-gold light, imbued with an ethereal aura.

Furthermore, his Primordial Spirit, under the infusion of Immortal Qi, became increasingly solid, growing countless times stronger than before.

If the transformation of a Nascent Soul into a Soul Transformation cultivator's Primordial Spirit represents the growth from an infant to a child, then the breakthrough from Soul Transformation to Infant Transformation represents the growth of the Primordial Spirit from a child to a young adult.

Replacing Origin Power with Immortal Power is a qualitative ascension!

And the materialization of artistic conception means the Primordial Spirit now possesses a weapon.

At the Infant Transformation stage, one must refine their own artistic conception into the Primordial Spirit, merging them into one.

This step is to prepare for the Ascendant stage, where one uses Immortal Fire to temper the artistic conception, allowing it to fuse completely with the Primordial Spirit, becoming inseparable.

Of course, Qin Hao had only just broken through to the Infant Transformation stage, so that step was still far off.

It is unknown how much time had passed when Qin Hao finally opened his eyes.

Now, his entire being radiated a strange fragrance, as if he himself were some kind of Heavenly Material or Earthly Treasure.

As the fragrance spread, the countless Demonic Beasts within the Land of Earth Element immediately turned their eyes blood-red and charged toward the Black Tower where he resided.

The Immortal Body possessed by an Infant Transformation cultivator is a potent tonic; if a powerful Desolate Beast devours it, it will undergo a metamorphosis.

And if some powerful vengeful spirits possess it, they can be directly reborn.

Generally, when a cultivator breaks through to the Infant Transformation stage, they must be within their sect, protected by numerous experts.

However, constrained by certain rules, the countless small Demonic Beasts within these hurricanes, despite running around in a frenzy, did not dare to charge into the Black Tower.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an unprecedentedly massive hurricane appeared, from which emerged a flying beast about three zhang tall.

Although its size was far inferior to a Flood Dragon, its cultivation base was not the least bit weaker; it was also a Desolate Beast at the Grand Perfection of God Transformation level.

Judging by the attitude of the countless surrounding Demonic Beasts toward it, this was the king of all the beasts.

"Roar!"

As soon as this Beast King appeared, all the smaller beasts immediately fell silent.

It stared at the Black Tower with its beastly eyes and actually spoke in human language: "I sense the aura of Immortal Qi. Someone inside this tower is advancing to the Infant Transformation stage. If I can devour his physical body, I will break through the Soul Transformation level!"

Originally, hindered by the rules here, they were not supposed to damage the Black Tower.

But in order to break through its cultivation base, this Beast King intended to break that rule.

"Boom!"

The Beast King swung its claws, lunging fiercely toward the Black Tower.

"Bang!"

Yet the next moment, an Invisible Force emerged, directly repelling its claws.

"Damn it!"

The Beast King roared at the surrounding swarm of lesser beasts, and the hurricanes they inhabited instantly dissipated.

Following this, they gathered with the Beast King to form a massive, unprecedented hurricane.

Simultaneously, under the Beast King's lead, all the lesser beasts began to unleash a sonic attack in unison.

This hurricane was a natural formation capable of merging and amplifying the attacks of all the lesser beasts.

"Crack!"

When this amplified attack struck the Black Tower, the tower shattered instantly.

Qin Hao, who had been inside the Black Tower, was finally revealed.

"Swish!"

Qin Hao opened his eyes abruptly. The moment he did, two brilliant rays of immortal light shot out, piercing through the space ahead.

"A mere Grand Perfection of God Transformation dares to seek death!"

Qin Hao rose to his feet, his black hair dancing without wind, his entire body radiating a terrifying pressure akin to Heavenly Might.

This pressure swept across the area, causing all the lesser beasts to tremble, their faces filled with intense fear.

Even the Beast King felt a monstrous pressure descend upon it, as if it were carrying a Giant Mountain on its back.

"I have hundreds of millions of subjects; I do not believe I cannot kill you!"

The Beast King roared, forcibly controlling all the flying beasts to launch another sonic attack.

"Extreme Realm, descend!"

For the first time, Qin Hao pushed his Extreme Realm Spiritual Sense to its limit.

Countless streaks of crimson lightning slithered through the air; within that towering hurricane, one lesser beast after another burst apart, turning into clouds of Blood Mist.

Facing his Yin Transformation-level Extreme Realm Spiritual Sense, no lesser beast could resist.

Even the Desolate Beast King, at the Grand Perfection of God Transformation level, was directly annihilated under the sweep of the Extreme Realm Spiritual Sense.

Under Qin Hao's unrestrained onslaught, the over one hundred million flying beasts perished in an instant.

"Senior Brother Qin is truly strong, so strong!"

Not far away, Wang Lin stared blankly at the scene, his Inner Heart filled with extreme shock.

"Ma... Master, isn't this Senior Brother of yours a bit too terrifying?"

From Wang Lin's body, Xu Liguo could not help but exclaim, "With just a single strike, he wiped out hundreds of millions of Demonic Beasts. Is this really something a human can achieve?"

He had previously thought that Wang Mazi was bloodthirsty enough.

But compared to Qin Hao, the number of people Wang Mazi had killed was merely a drop in the ocean.
