It was noon, and the sun shone high overhead.
The humanoid jade statue grew ever more solid. Its figure, its face, even the python-patterned robe of the Wen Kingdom's Crown Prince that it wore-all were identical to Liu Zezheng's, lifelike in every detail.
"Hahaha! I'm going to succeed!"
Joy filled Liu Zezheng's face. As his wild laughter rang out for ten thousand miles, the terrifying aura of his Celestial Peak conceptual image quietly erupted within his body.
The next moment, before everyone's eyes, his body began exploding inch by inch, from head to toe.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere. Droplets of blood scattered like crimson jade, glittering in the sunlight, while the sound of breaking bones rang like clashing metal, shaking everyone's minds.
Within that thick cloud of blood, several dazzling rays of treasure light flashed, as though several Pre-Heaven Artifact Treasures had emerged together. Their pre-heaven conceptual images were immeasurably vast.
Yet when the Celestial Persons looked closely, they discovered that those rays of treasure light came not from Pre-Heaven Artifact Treasures, but from internal organs imbued with the conceptual images of Artifact Treasures!
Heart, liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys...
Were these Liu Zezheng's internal organs?
How was that possible?
Everyone paled in astonishment.
A Celestial Person's physical body was flawless, a Dharma Body perfectly suited to their own cultivation. Precisely for that reason, even the slightest change to that Dharma Body would affect their future cultivation, making it difficult to transform their Divine Abilities' effects into wonders and drastically reducing their chances of True-Seeking Dao Attainment.
Even practitioners of Body Cultivation never made such sweeping alterations to their Dharma Bodies.
Had he gone mad to do this?
"He really is a cultivator of the Demonic Dao!"
"Only the evil arts of the Demonic Dao could accomplish something like this."
