Breakthrough to the Azure Dragon Transformation!

The incantation of the Nine Transformations of the True Dragon surfaced in his mind.

Each transformation in the Nine Transformations of the True Dragon corresponded to the realm of a divine beast.

The first four formed the True Dragon Transformation, forging the body of a true dragon.

The fifth was the Azure Dragon Transformation, granting control over the forces of heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, he possessed only the fifth transformation's cultivation method, not those that followed.

"At its peak, the True Dragon Transformation gives me a body comparable to an Immortal Beast at the peak of the Profound Immortal realm."

"Once I break through to the Azure Dragon Transformation, my body will enter the Golden Immortal realm. With the power of the Azure Dragon behind it, every punch can stir the forces of heaven and earth."

"More importantly, the Azure Dragon Transformation grants control over lightning. When that happens, this world-destroying lightning won't be able to hurt me. I'll be able to use it."

Anticipation filled his eyes. "Last time I faced a gold-rank assassin, I only managed to wound him badly thanks to the Grass-Character Sword Art. If I'd already broken through to the Azure Dragon Transformation, I could have crushed him head-on with my body alone. I wouldn't have needed that slash."

"The Heaven-Hunting Pavilion's gold-rank assassin lost an arm to my Grass-Character Sword Art, but with his resources, he'll surely find a way to restore it."

"The Heaven-Hunting Pavilion claims it never fails. They lost three silver-rank assassins this time. They won't let it rest."

"Next time, I'm afraid they'll send more than one gold-rank assassin."

Li Qingshan's gaze grew firmer.

He rose and continued climbing.

Eight thousand zhang.

Nine thousand zhang.

Only the final thousand zhang remained before the summit.

The fierce winds around him
