"What arrogance! You actually mean to use me as a stepping stone!"
Kang Shang was shocked and furious, with a measure of embarrassment turning to anger.
How could he fail to understand what Chi Yingting meant?
Throughout the ages, there had been no shortage of prodigies and mighty cultivators who fought above their cultivation levels, treating the cultivation world's rigid barriers of rank as though they did not exist.
Cultivators who opposed them often became their stepping stones.
They were nothing more than insignificant supporting characters and extras as a new star rose and wrote his own legend!
Kang Shang had never imagined that he would one day be reduced to such a role.
Yet when he examined what Chi Yingting was displaying, astonishment crept into his expression.
Chi Yingting had actually bypassed the soul projection realm of the early Nascent Soul stage and directly acquired the middle stage's Dharma-Form Transformation ability.
The only question was what powers this deity-like Dharma Form possessed.
As Kang Shang pondered this, his emotions surged, and a nameless anger arose for no apparent reason.
"How dare you disrespect your senior! I will make you regret it!"
At that thought, the mental discipline he had acquired through his usual self-cultivation abruptly jolted him awake.
"No, now isn't the time to think about this... damn it, I can't calm my emotions. They're being controlled!
"Damn it, when did this happen?!"
Anger, shock, worry, fear...
They arose in succession, gradually and naturally.
Behind Chi Yingting, the Seven-Faced Deity's Dharma Form immediately turned from illusory to solid, its faces switching rapidly like a face-changing performance.
In the blink of an eye, it settled on a crimson face.
Anger!
Blazing flames erupted over Chi Yingting. His body shook, and vast power surged forth like a tide.
Boom!
Kang Shang
