Transformation, Breakthrough!

The entire Eastern Wasteland was thrown into upheaval.

"Could Desolation from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone have emerged?"

"Could darkness be about to descend?"

Fortunately, the Xuanyuan Sword's aura, nearly that of an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, quickly withdrew, gathering itself without striking.

Threads of Extreme Dao Emperor might erupted from the Xuanyuan Sword. Having been bathed in Emperor Blood, it was only a hair's breadth away from becoming an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon.

Coincidentally, the Void Mirror, the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon most thoroughly bathed in Supreme Being blood, was only a hair's breadth from becoming an Immortal Artifact. The Xuanyuan Sword was much the same. It truly made one sigh.

Even the Tianxuan Saintess had no choice but to retreat beneath that pressure.

"I have no desire to draw weapons. Leave now!"

Ji Hao spoke with a solemn expression.

The Tianxuan Saintess said nothing. She stepped forward again, her supreme aura sweeping across the entire Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone.

"Looks like this cannot end peacefully." Ji Hao narrowed his eyes.

Just as the tension reached its peak,

Ji Hao suddenly put on an utterly terrified expression and shouted, "Look, a UFO!"

Then, without another word, he transformed into a streak of immortal light and fled into the distance.

Of the thirty-six stratagems, retreat was the best.

However, the Tianxuan Saintess moved with mysterious steps and flashed before Ji Hao, blocking his path.

"Now!"

In the next instant, divine light bloomed, and the aura of a Quasi-Emperor burst forth. The Xuanyuan Sword slashed out, changing the color of heaven and earth, overturning the cosmos, and collapsing the void.

When everything calmed, Ji Hao was nowhere to be seen.

Only the peerlessly beautiful Tianxuan Saintess remained standing there.

Ji Hao transformed into a shooting star and flew into the distance, already leaving the range of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone.

He glanced at the nine jade boxes in his Sea of Bitterness and smiled happily.

He had finally obtained the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine, and a heavy weight lifted from his heart. Though it might not completely remove the death energy from his bloodline, at least it would no longer leave Ji Hao as constrained as before, even afraid to break through.

He casually found a cave, set up a great formation, and even inscribed a corner of a Great Emperor formation pattern.

Opening the jade boxes one by one, Ji Hao's eyes gleamed as he looked at the fragrant divine fruits.

"Should I break through first, or help Jingwei refine the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine first?"

"I should break through first. That would be safer."

In this unfamiliar place, strength was the most important thing. Even if Jingwei refined the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine, she would not recover immediately and would still need a long period of rest. Ji Hao would have to take care of her during that time.

He first took out a pink fruit. It looked as though it had been carved from pink jade, no larger than a fist and shaped like a tiny pink child, vividly lifelike. He held it up to his mouth to compare their sizes, then took out a red heart-shaped fruit. It was crimson as blood, vivid and beautiful, as though it had been carefully polished from the most dazzling ruby. Its fragrance was refreshing.

He stuffed both fruits into his mouth in one bite, his cheeks puffing out like a squirrel's.

Their fragrance seeped into his organs and nourished every inch of his flesh. Rich and intoxicating, it was an irresistible temptation. The crystalline fruits contained boundless vitality.

The medicinal power flowed through every part of his flesh. Every inch of skin was shrouded in divine light, while the death energy within his bloodline was continuously purified. A blazing sun emerged in his lower abdomen, repeatedly washing over his Sea of Bitterness.

After being refined, they became incomplete Dao diagrams of unfathomable mystery, continuously imprinting themselves into his body.

His divine sense spun rapidly as he comprehended the secrets of the Dao diagrams. Unlike Ye Fan, who needed to mend the scars of the Great Dao, Ji Hao merely used the medicinal power to cleanse his body. The incomplete laws within the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine circulated through him, further reviving the Emperor Blood within him.

Drops of Sacred Spring Water fell from the Jade Pure Bottle onto the Bodhi Seed.

Replenished, the Bodhi Seed grew vigorously, and a tender green sprout soon emerged.

Ji Hao's mind became clear and tranquil. The Wisdom Light Wheel appeared behind his head, sometimes shining like a great sun over all things, sometimes becoming utter emptiness. He was like a young immortal king, unaware of the passage of time, allowing the mortal world to rise and fall while preserving his own immortality.

The medicinal power washed through his limbs and bones, and dense divine essence replenished his body. Drops of emerald Fortune Divine Blood condensed, transforming the deeply rooted death energy. Brilliant light shone from him as though he were ascending to immortality, immortal light spraying from every pore and bringing him comfort beyond measure.

One day, two days, three days... ten days...

Ji Hao opened his eyes. A beam of divine light shot three feet into the sky, and his deep, glasslike eyes resembled a blazing Immortal Fire.

There truly was a flame within him: the Living Flame. While continuously removing the death energy, it had also been influenced by the Great Emperor bloodline within Ji Hao, advancing further until it was no weaker than Emperor Flame.

He opened the remaining jade boxes one by one.

The Silver Moon Divine Fruit, Vermilion Bird Fruit, Cauldron-Shaped Fruit, and Eight Trigrams Fruit were immaculate, sparkling like seven-colored glass and dazzling to the eye.

A tiny blood-red Vermilion Bird danced through the air, an ancient little cauldron rose and fell, and a profound Eight Trigrams diagram revolved. It was exceptionally strange.

Essence energy surged, while incomplete Dao diagrams curled around him and continuously imprinted themselves into his body.

Over the next half month, the cave was filled with rich, fragrant aromas as all manner of strange fruits bloomed with incomparably brilliant light.

When refining the Scarlet Bird Fruit, it seemed as though Vermilion Birds danced at his side and Phoenixes cried softly. Incomplete Dao diagrams circulated, every inch of his flesh trembled, waste blood was expelled, and fresh blood burst forth from his heart.

Even the void trembled. Those were fragments of Great Emperor laws displaying their might.

When refining the Little Cauldron Divine Fruit, his bones shattered inch by inch before reforming, constantly renewing themselves. The incomplete Dao diagrams first resonated with his Emperor Blood, then finally entered his heart and became a seed, awaiting its future sprouting.

When refining the sacred fruit marked with Eight Trigrams scars, eight innate patterns turned into trigrams arranged in all eight directions, surrounding him. Diagram after mysterious Dao diagram appeared, engulfing him and dancing with the primordial spirit in his sea of consciousness.

Over these nearly twenty days, Ji Hao's flesh and bones continuously regenerated. He shed his old body and was reborn, replacing his blood and gaining new life. His entire body split apart, his organs ringing like heavenly music, while his bones shattered and reformed inch by inch.

This transformation made his physical body extraordinarily powerful. With every gesture, he seemed capable of piercing heaven and earth. His Great Emperor bloodline revived further, as though it could crush the sky itself. He truly resembled a Great Emperor descending into the world.

At this moment, his body was flawless and unstained, crystalline and almost transparent. Blinding scarlet gleamed within his fresh red blood, while streams of green light flowed through it.

With merely a rise to his feet, the void gave a mournful cry. His physical body was pure and flawless, precious radiance flowing over it like an immortal deity.

"It's time to break through!"

If he could break through, who would be willing to remain trapped in a single secret realm, cultivating bitterly without end? The death energy that had plagued Ji Hao for more than ten years and forced him to seal himself away had finally quieted down.

Though it had not been completely eradicated, only faint traces remained, stubbornly clinging to life within his bloodline.

With a wave of his hand, millions of jin of Source scattered across the ground. If not for the powerful formation Ji Hao had set up, the outside world would have immediately seen Source energy soaring into the sky. Even so, the once-barren ground had already become lush with life, with all kinds of flowers blooming.

Inside the cave dwelling, divine radiance surged into the heavens, dazzling beyond compare. Even Ji Hao could not help squinting. It was the brilliance emitted by an ocean of essence energy.
