The Body Breaks Through to the Sixth Turn, a Humanoid Tyrannosaurus

In the quiet room, ripples spread through the void.

After investing five million AFK Points into the Myriad Transformations Starry Skies Art, the Star Primordial Spirit light deep within his Sea of Consciousness became increasingly condensed.

Chen Changqing did not stop.

There are 2.8 million AFK Points remaining on the panel.

These past few days have seen a series of victories against formidable enemies, accumulating a substantial foundation.

With a slight thought, all the remaining AFK Points were poured into the "Primordial Nine-Turn Body Refining Art".

The golden patterns deep within the bones began to tremble violently.

The physical body's Qi and Blood, which had originally been stuck at the Fifth Turn, surged wildly along the eight extraordinary meridians.

Time slips away, bit by bit.

Two days and two nights have passed.

The three-layered Defensive Formation surrounding the Purple Sky Villa crackled and popped from the intense yang energy emanating from the meditation room.

That was Pure Yang Qi and Blood bursting forth from within.

Boom!

A crisp notification sound suddenly rang in my Sea of Consciousness.

The system prompt interface will appear automatically.

"Ding! The Primordial Nine-Turn Body Refining Art has reached its perfect state during idle gameplay, successfully breaking through to the Sixth Turn."

Along with this sound, the bones inside Chen Changqing's body emitted a metallic clang.

Every inch of flesh and blood, every meridian, underwent a transformative metamorphosis under the baptism of this immense Principle.

The dark golden Dao Marks were completely imprinted deep within his bones.

The oppressive aura emanating from the entire physical body was beyond the comprehension of ordinary Cultivators.

A physical body at the Quasi-Immortal Artifact level.

With just this body, it can withstand the full force of Quasi-Immortal Artifact's strike without suffering the slightest damage.

If one were to swing a fist, without using any Immortal Artifacts Law Treasures, relying solely on pure physical strength, one could blast an ordinary True Lord into a cloud of blood mist with one's bare hands.

This is a real humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Chen Changqing stood up and slowly clenched his right fist.

The air was squeezed in his palm, producing a piercing sonic boom.

A powerful and steady sense of strength filled my entire body.

At the same time.

Deep within the central hall of the City Lord Mansion.

The Dark Moon Ghost Lord, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

The nine chains of Extreme Yin Laws beside her trembled violently.

An overwhelming surge of pure Yang Blood Qi pierced through the layers of arrays, faintly emanating from the direction of the Purple Sky Villa.

The intense, heavy pressure caused even the Taiyin True Essence within her body to instinctively retreat.

A look of astonishment appeared on the face of the Dark Moon Ghost Lord.

"How could the body's Qi and Blood... have increased to this extent in just two days?"

She flashed and appeared directly at the top of the hall.

Looking towards the direction of the Purple Sky Villa, the Yin Baleful Qi above the entire courtyard had been dispersed into nothingness, replaced by a pale golden glow that was barely visible to the naked eye.

The Dark Moon Ghost Lord gasped.

That is the light of Principle that manifests only when the physical body reaches the level of Quasi-Immortal Artifact.

Even if Body Cultivators in the outside world cultivate diligently for ten thousand years and overcome countless Heavenly Tribulations, very few can hone their physical bodies to the point where they are comparable to quasi- Quasi-Immortal Artifacts.

The young man from Mount Shu before me was only a few hundred years old, yet he not only possessed a great treasure and had superb Swordsmanship, but his physical body had also reached such an unbelievable level.

After the initial shock, the Dark Moon Ghost Lord couldn't help but throw his head back and burst into laughter.

Laughter echoed above the main hall.

"Good, very good!"

"I originally thought I had found a powerful retainer, but I never expected to find a true god of death."

"With him here, White Bone Territory and Myriad Poison Ridge won't gain the slightest advantage in this Heavenly Nether Abyss competition."

If she could seize control of the Heavenly Nether Abyss in one fell swoop, monopolize the Taiyin Ore Vein that stretches for tens of millions of miles, and then receive the empowerment of the Netherworld Ancestral Land's origin, she would be extremely confident in breaking through the shackles of the Peak Heavenly Monarch Stage.

Cross that insurmountable chasm and attain the position of Ghost Immortal.

In the Nine Nether Ghost Domain, only those who reach the level of Ghost Immortal can be considered to have truly entered the ranks of giants.

The Dark Moon Ghost Lord composed himself, turned around and returned to the hall to begin arranging the battle.

On the morning of the third day.

The dark clouds hanging over Dark Moon City grew even lower.

The gates of the Purple Sky Villa slowly opened.

Chen Changqing changed into a clean and neat blue-patterned white robe, and walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

His vital Qi and Blood had been completely absorbed into his body, and outwardly he still appeared to be just an ordinary Late True Lord Stage Cultivator.

The Dark Moon Ghost Lord, who had been waiting outside the courtyard, led the First Ghost General to greet them.

The Dark Moon Ghost Lord sized up Chen Changqing several times, his expression several times more polite than three days ago.

"Fellow Daoist Chen has been in seclusion for three days; it seems he has gained a great deal."

Chen Changqing remained calm.

"Only a slight improvement."

"It's almost time; we should set off."

The Dark Moon Ghost Lord nodded and smiled, "Fellow Daoist, you are straightforward. Please follow me aboard the ship."

A thousand-foot-long Netherworld Warship floats on the open ground in front of the main hall.

The warship was made entirely of Ten-Thousand-Year Sinking Yin Wood, with white bone defensive formations carved all over its sides, and thousands of black banners fluttering in the eerie wind.

Chen Changqing stepped onto the deck.

The Dark Moon Ghost Lord, the First Ghost General, and two other elite Ghost Cultivator Elite at the Half-Step Heavenly Monarch level followed closely behind.

With a roar, the warship tore through the dark clouds, transforming into a massive black streak as it sped toward the Heavenly Nether Abyss in the far north.

Chapter 1014 The Ancient Ship of the Underworld, Heavenly Nether Abyss

The warships sailed through the thick, Yin Baleful Intent fog.

A thick protective light shield rose above the deck, effectively shutting out the howling, eerie winds from all around.

The Dark Moon Ghost Lord walked to Chen Changqing's side and pointed to the boundless wasteland in front of him, explaining.

"The Thirteen Outer Domains are vast and boundless. This time, Greater Ghost are vying for the Heavenly Nether Abyss mineral vein."

"Besides our Dark Moon City, there are also White Bone Territory, Myriad Poison Ridge, and Rakshasa City."

Chen Changqing leaned against the ship's railing, listening to the other person's account.

How were the rules for the competition established?

The Dark Moon Ghost Lord slowly said, "The Thirteen Outer Domains are each subordinate to the major powers of the Central Domain. In order to avoid the loss of vital energy due to direct confrontation between Ghost Lords of the Heavenly Monarch level, this set of rules for the small and large competitions was established."

"The first round is a preliminary competition."

"Each of the four major cities will send three top experts under the age of one thousand to fight."

"The twelve entered the Lightless Forbidden Land on the outskirts of the Heavenly Nether Abyss to engage in a chaotic battle."

"Only the top three survivors or those who successfully obtain the Netherworld Command Banner will be qualified to represent their respective factions in the second round of the final battle at the core Ancestral Land Ancient Arena."

Chen Changqing's expression shifted slightly.

"Each city sends three people, meaning three out of twelve will advance."

"If I were to kill all nine of the other people in the Lightless Forbidden Land, would that be considered breaking the rules?"

Upon hearing this, the First Ghost General, who was standing at the rear, twitched his eye.

The Dark Moon Ghost Lord burst into loud laughter.

"The Nine Nether Ghost Domain is a place where the strong prey on the weak; life and death are indiscriminate within the Lightless Forbidden Land."

"If you can slaughter all the prodigies of White Bone Territory and Myriad Poison Ridge, I will reward you handsomely."

"Especially Gu Li, the young master of White Bone Territory, and Poison Boy of Myriad Poison Ridge, both of them are at the limit of the Half-Step Heavenly Monarch, and their methods are extremely ruthless."

"They carry invaluable life-saving treasures bestowed upon them by their respective territories; do not be careless if you encounter them."

Chen Changqing nodded and said no more.

The warships sped forward.

About two hours later, the landscape ahead had completely changed.

The once dark plain was broken apart, forming a huge, bottomless chasm.

The chasm stretched for tens of thousands of miles, and looking down, one saw only a thick, churning, grayish-white deathly aura.

Countless enormous undead bone dragons coiled and roared in the abyss below.

This is the infamous forbidden area of Nine Nether Outer Domain — the Heavenly Nether Abyss.

Above a solitary peak ten thousand feet high on the edge of the Heavenly Nether Abyss, two imposing ancient warships were already anchored.

On the left is a ship entirely pieced together from the bones of a giant Demon Beast, with a huge Ghost King's head hanging from its bow, spewing ghastly green poisonous flames from its eye sockets.

Those are the White Bone Territory's White Bone Battleship.

The warship on the right was shrouded in a colorful, highly poisonous fog, and countless venomous insects and beasts swarmed on its deck.

It was the Myriad Poison Ridge Myriad Poison Flying Boat Ridge.

As the Dark Moon warship approached, a violent gust of wind suddenly swept across the once calm abyss.

Boom!

On the deck of the White Bone Battleship, a figure clad in heavy bone armor rose into the air.

This person had a withered face, surrounded by the vast Heavenly Monarch Laws, and his pair of eerie green eyes were fixed on the Dark Moon Warship.

Lord of the White Bone Territory, Bone Demon Heavenly Monarch.

On the Myriad Poison Flying Boat, a cloud of purplish-green poisonous mist churned and exploded, and a short old man dressed in a green robe slowly emerged.

The old man leaned on a Coiled Snake Cane, and the aura emanating from him was unfathomable. The surrounding Spatial Laws were even compressed by his aura, causing layers of distorted death light to appear.

Half-Step Ghost Immortal.

The Supreme Elder of Myriad Poison Ridge, the Thousand Poisons Old Monster.

Two giants renowned Outer Domain appeared simultaneously, their terrifying pressure crashing down on the Dark Moon warship like the Heavenly Collapse.

The protective shield of the Dark Moon warship emitted a series of dull cracking sounds under the pressure of the two forces.

The Dark Moon Ghost Lord snorted coldly, lightly touched the deck with his toes, and transformed into a streak of purple light, soaring into the sky.

The Extreme Yin Law of the Peak Heavenly Monarch Stage erupted, forcefully withstanding the intimidation of the two old monsters.

"Bone Demon, Thousand Poisons, you two old codgers look quite well."

"What, the competition hasn't even started yet, and you're already eager to experience my Taiyin Divine Light?"

Atop a solitary peak thousands of feet high, a fierce wind howls.

Three immense and powerful Principle collided violently in mid-air, tearing the surrounding churning death energy into countless fragments.

The Thousand Poisons Old Monster, wielding the Coiled Snake Cane, let out a harsh, hoarse laugh.

"Dark Moon, it's been three hundred years, and your temper is still as volatile as ever."

"I heard that two days ago, your Dark Moon City was attacked from the south gate all the way to the City Lord Mansion, and even the City-Protecting Formation was cleaved in two by a single sword strike."

"What, you still have the leisure to come to Heavenly Nether Abyss to compete for mineral veins today?"

The Bone Demon Heavenly Monarch aboard the White Bone Battleship also gave a sinister laugh.

"Brother Qiandu is absolutely right."

"If Dark Moon City truly cannot find any capable soldiers, it would be better to relinquish its share of the mines sooner rather than later, lest its young men lose their lives in the Lightless Forbidden Land."

The two giants' words were full of sarcasm and probing.

The huge commotion that occurred in Dark Moon City a few days ago had already spread throughout the entire Outer Domain through their respective spies.

The Dark Moon Ghost Lord remained calm and composed, unperturbed by these words.

"We'll see how my soldiers fared once we're in this perilous place."

"But you two, you mustn't get wiped out in the first round."

At this moment, a tall and slender young man slowly walked out from the bow of the White Bone Battleship.

The young man was dressed in silver armor, his face was handsome but pale with a sickly pallor, and two short blades made from the ribs of the Heavenly Monarch hung at his waist.

It was none other than White Bone Territory's young master, Gu Li.

Gu Li glanced at the people on the Dark Moon warship, his gaze finally settling on the First Ghost General, a contemptuous smile curving his lips.

"First Ghost General, you narrowly escaped with your life in the last competition."

"This time, I will personally extract your bones one by one and refine them into my second White Bone Puppets."

The First Ghost General's face flushed red, and the veins on his hands, gripping the giant axe, bulged, but he did not rashly retort.

Gu Li's strength ranks among the top of the Half-Step Heavenly Monarch. He is ruthless and is indeed an extremely difficult opponent.

Seeing that the other party dared not respond, Gu Li continued to scan the Dark Moon warship with his gaze.

When he saw Chen Changqing standing indifferently at the edge of the ship's railing, his brows furrowed slightly.

A Late True Lord Stage dressed in Human Race white robe?

There wasn't even a trace of Yin Baleful Intent or death energy within him; instead, he faintly exuded a Pure Yang aura that was quite repulsive.

On the Myriad Poison Flying Boat, a short figure with the face of a seven or eight-year-old child, but with eerie purplish-black skin, poked his head out.

It was the Poison Boy of Myriad Poison Ridge.

The Poison Boy sniffed and let out a piercing, eerie laugh.

"Heh heh heh, is there really no one left in Dark Moon City?"

"They actually brought in an outsider Cultivator to make up the numbers."

"If this delicate skin were thrown into my Myriad Poison Urn and soaked for forty-nine days, it would surely yield a batch of top-grade poison pills."

The Poison Boy licked his lips with his scarlet tongue, making no attempt to conceal his murderous intent.

Chen Changqing leaned calmly against the ship's railing, not even lifting his eyelids.

They're nothing but two ants, stuck at the Half-Step Heavenly Monarch realm.

If you were to enter the Lightless Forbidden Land, you could smash them all with a single punch.

Boom!

Just as the three sides were locked in a standoff, the distant void began to tremble violently once again.

The fourth warship tore through the clouds and roared in.

It was a blood-red Asura Bone Ship, with several blood-red Asura Statues, each ten feet tall, standing at the bow.

The forces from Rakshasa City have arrived.

The crimson warship hovered on the other side of the solitary peak.

A burly man clad in blood-red heavy armor strode out, his murderous aura transforming into a visible Blood Sea that churned and roared in the sky.

Rakshasa Ghost King.

The leaders of the four major forces have all gathered in Heavenly Nether Abyss.
