Hogyoku Creation Method, Golden Great Ape

At the very moment Mu Yang transformed into the legendary Super Saiyan 3, the system's voice rang out in his mind.

[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for transforming into the legendary Super Saiyan 3. With your heaven-defying comprehension, you have automatically grasped the Hogyoku Creation Method.]

Hogyoku Creation Method?

The Hogyoku!!

Mu Yang sifted through the information flooding his mind; this was truly the secret technique for creating the Hogyoku.

The Hogyoku.

Anyone who has seen Bleach knows exactly what kind of heaven-defying item this is!

Once created, the Hogyoku would help its master evolve according to the deepest desires of their heart.

Moreover, once fused with the Hogyoku, one becomes virtually immortal and indestructible; even Zeno's erasure technique might not be enough to wipe them out.

However, despite its power, the Hogyoku has a flaw.

No, strictly speaking, this is not a flaw of the Hogyoku itself, but a flaw of the human heart.

That is, for the person fused with the Hogyoku, if their inner convictions waver, the Hogyoku becomes useless, or may even cause them to evolve in the opposite direction.

But for Mu Yang, this drawback of the Hogyoku was practically non-existent.

His conviction to defeat Champa and become the strongest in the entire universe had never wavered!

"The Hogyoku Creation Method: use human souls to forge it, and the Hogyoku shall be obtained." Mu Yang read through the instructions, his mind beginning to churn.

If one were to ask where the most human souls could be found, it was undoubtedly King Enma's Palace.

For Mu Yang, with his current status, collecting a few souls to create the Hogyoku would not be difficult.

Mu Yang pulled back his thoughts and reverted from his Super Saiyan 3 state to his base form.

His expression remained grave, without a hint of relaxation.

Kale, Caulifla, and Cabba all ran over from the rocks.

Even Hit, with his arms crossed, walked over slowly.

"Master, you're too amazing!"

"Is this Super Saiyan 3? Cool! I'm going to transform into a Super Saiyan 3 in the future too."

"Brother Mu Yang..."

Kale, Caulifla, and Cabba all wore expressions of obvious excitement.

However, Mu Yang hesitated for a moment before speaking, his face solemn. "Don't you remember what I said this morning? The legendary Super Saiyan 3 is merely the natural result of accumulated effort; what comes next is the key!"

"Whether we succeed or fail depends entirely on what happens now!"

Upon hearing Mu Yang's words, the expressions of Cabba, Caulifla, and Kale shifted repeatedly, their faces turning instantly serious.

Even someone as composed as Hit showed a hint of tension on his face.

In their minds, they all recalled what Mu Yang had told them that morning.

"Today I am going to transform into a Super Saiyan 4. To do this, I must transform into a Great Ape, grasp love, and regain my reason. If I lose control, cut off my tail."

Those were Mu Yang's exact words.

In other words, the Super Saiyan 3 from just a moment ago was at best a warm-up; the Super Saiyan 4 to follow was the real crux of the matter.

"Are you ready?" Mu Yang asked with a serious expression.

Success or failure, it all rides on this!

"Yeah, don't worry, Master." Caulifla clenched her fists, full of confidence. "If you lose control, I'll beat you until you transform back."

"Sister..." Kale was unhappy.

Caulifla felt terrible, as if her own little darling had suddenly been whisked away by some punk on a motorbike.

It hurts, it really hurts!

Kale, your heart has changed.

You don't love me anymore.

Caulifla rolled her eyes and looked at Mu Yang with a hint of resentment.

Mu Yang was a bit confused.

"Yosh! Master, leave it to us." Cabba was equally confident, stemming from the progress he had made over these past few days.

"If you lose control, I will use The World to stop time for nine seconds and cut off your tail in an instant." Hit did not believe that Mu Yang would be immune to his time-stop even if he lost his reason.

"Good, with you all here, I can rest easy." Hearing their words, Mu Yang smiled.

With such a group of reliable companions, he felt confident in whatever he set out to do.

Mu Yang no longer hesitated; he pulled his tail out from his pants and wrapped it around his waist.

Immediately after, he condensed a ball of energy in his hand, tossed it high into the air, and sent it flying.

The brilliant energy projectile did not explode in the air; instead, it gradually morphed into the shape of a moon, hanging high in the sky and emitting a dazzling light.

This is...

An Artificial Moon.

Every technique Vegeta knows, Mu Yang knows, and the techniques Vegeta doesn't know, Mu Yang knows as well.

The Artificial Moon hung high above, radiating intense Blutz Waves.

And Blutz Waves are the very key to a Saiyan's transformation into a Great Ape!

Due to their long evolutionary process, the Saiyans of Universe 6 did not retain their tails like the Saiyans of Universe 7; they had discarded them.

Therefore, to Kale, Caulifla, and Cabba, the intense Blutz Waves were nothing more than blinding moonlight, eliciting no reaction at all.

Hit, needless to say, was not even a Saiyan; he stood with his arms crossed, staring intently at everything unfolding before him.

Mu Yang looked up at the Artificial Moon in the sky, the intense Blutz Waves reflecting in his eyes, and immediately, his heart began to pound.

In less than a second, in the blink of an eye, Mu Yang's body suddenly expanded rapidly, reaching a full 50 meters and transforming into a towering Great Ape with dark brown fur.

"ROAR!!!!"

The Great Ape beat its chest with both arms and let out a heaven-shaking roar, gazing up at the Artificial Moon in the sky as a brilliant, dazzling light erupted from its body.

"What's happening?"

"I don't know!"

Kale, Cabba, and Caulifla were all blinded by the dazzling radiance, unable to keep their eyes open.

Even Hit was no exception, closing his eyes as well.

When they opened their eyes again, all four were stunned.

"This is...!"

The Great Ape that Mu Yang had transformed into no longer had dark brown fur; it had turned into golden fur, radiating a terrifying aura at every moment.

A Golden Great Ape.

Before Kale, Cabba, Caulifla, and Hit could even recover their senses.

"Whoosh!"

The Golden Great Ape opened its mouth, and a purple Destruction Energy Ball suddenly began to gather within, continuously condensing and growing in size.

"Not good, run!"

Hit, the strongest among the four, saw the Golden Great Ape's movements, his expression changing drastically as he shouted out.

The next second, the Golden Great Ape launched the Destruction Energy Ball from its mouth toward the direction of Caulifla and the others.
