Summoning Wind and Rain, Overturning Rivers and Seas?!
Bai He bared his teeth and scratched his head, but because he had suddenly gained two extra pairs of arms and could not control them properly, all three hands on his right side scratched at once, nearly tearing off his scalp.
After practicing for a while, Bai He barely managed to use each arm freely. At least he would not end up like before, intending to raise his right hand only for all three right arms to move together. Just thinking about it still made his scalp ache faintly...
Somewhat "all hands and feet," Bai He climbed down from the stone platform and slowly walked over to the bank of the nearby Underground River.
Above his head, pristine white jade-like stalactites continued to emit a faint glow, making the entire cave seem as dreamlike and magnificent as an immortal realm.
Through the crystal-clear river water, like a mirror, Bai He saw what he looked like now.
He still had silver hair and silver eyes as before, but aside from the silver scales and sharp bone spikes covering his body, he now had four additional arms and a gleaming silver tail. A small jade-like silver horn also protruded slightly through his hair, glimmering with faint silver colored light.
Bai He curiously touched the small silver horn on his head, then awkwardly swayed the long silver tail behind him. Compared to arms he had used for many years, the tail was undoubtedly a limb he had never used before.
The gleaming silver tail resembled a crocodile's tail. It was agile and powerful, covered in sharp bone spikes that could extend and retract, making one shudder at a glance.
He had practically turned completely into an Eight-Armed Evil Dragon!
If his former dragon transformation state had merely added a layer of silver scales and many sharp bone spikes to his body, leaving him still roughly humanoid—
Then now, with two extra pairs of arms, a tail, and a horn, no matter how he looked at himself, he could no longer be considered human!
But there was nothing bad about becoming a complete Eight-Armed Evil Dragon. He should still be able to change back from this form, and was it not precisely because he had completely become an Eight-Armed Evil Dragon that he could obtain its complete divine powers—Summoning Wind and Rain and Overturning Rivers and Seas?!
Bai He consoled himself inwardly.
Looking at the Underground River before him, Bai He suddenly wanted to test out his new divine power.
Since these were the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's innate divine powers, the closer his bloodline was to that of an Eight-Armed Evil Dragon, the more easily he could unleash Summoning Wind and Rain and Overturning Rivers and Seas.
It was like the principle of a lever. In his ordinary state, the dragon blood in Bai He's body was at its thinnest, so he could barely use any of the innate divine powers hidden within his dragon bloodline.
But after entering his dragon transformation state, Bai He could use weakened versions of those powers. In his current state, the one closest to an Eight-Armed Evil Dragon, he possessed the complete innate divine powers.
Summoning Wind and Rain, Overturning Rivers and Seas!
Bai He slowly unleashed the divine power.
Under its effects, gusts of wild wind began to sweep through the cave, while the Underground River churned and surged restlessly. Thick water mist spread in every direction before eventually rising and gathering into clusters of dense, black dark clouds at the ceiling of the cave.
The wild winds howled and the waves surged. Bolts of lightning began brewing amid the dark clouds.
Yet compared to the time Bai He had seen a genuine Eight-Armed Evil Dragon unleash this divine power on Dragon Island—when hurricanes roared, thunder boomed, and it looked as though the end of the world had arrived—the divine power he wielded now was undoubtedly far too weak.
But Bai He was not discouraged. After all, their levels of life were right there. That Eight-Armed Evil Dragon had lived for who knew how many years. Though its divinity had been suppressed, even in its bestial state, its strength had definitely surpassed the demigod realm—the Third Order Sky Soaring Realm.
And what about him? Even though his strength had greatly improved after the Dragon Crystal's baptism, he had only entered Mortal Shedding Second Heaven.
Although the Dragon Crystal contained immensely vast power, most of it had been condensed by the Heavenly Tablet Mystic Skill and deposited in the Zhongting Acupoint in his chest. He could sense the earth-shattering power contained within it.
Only a small portion of the power had been absorbed by him and the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Soul within his body, and the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Soul had taken the larger share.
After witnessing the divine powers of Summoning Wind and Rain and Overturning Rivers and Seas, Bai He prepared to leave his current form. With several newly grown limbs on his body, he felt rather unaccustomed to it.
Hmm, since his current form was already vastly different from his dragon transformation state, calling it dragon transformation no longer seemed appropriate. What should he call it instead?
Bai He thought for a moment before finally deciding to call it Dragon Transformation!
But Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Transformation was rather awkward to say, and his present form might not necessarily be the final form of his Dragon Transformation Divine Power. So in the end, Bai He decided to name this divine power: Hidden Dragon Transformation!
Hidden Dragon Transformation meant a hidden dragon lying in the abyss.
Bai He believed that one day, he would become a true dragon, just like the Ancestral Dragon of the Realm of Longevity?!
With the All Heavens Projection System, he could project endless worlds. His future was destined to hold limitless possibilities.
Bai He slowly exited the Hidden Dragon Transformation state. Amid a series of "creak, creak..." sounds, the four arms covered in silver dragon scales slowly withdrew into his body, while the gleaming silver tail behind him and the silver horn atop his head gradually retracted as well.
Bai He was still somewhat unaccustomed to the Hidden Dragon Transformation state, but he knew that, as one of his trump cards, he had to completely master his body in that state. That would require much more practice.
Otherwise, if he fought someone in the future, used the divine power Hidden Dragon Transformation, then started flailing around with his tail smacking himself, that would be a tragedy.
Looking at the handsome yet eerily bewitching silver-haired, silver-eyed youth reflected on the mirror-like river surface, Bai He nodded in satisfaction.
If he could bring this face back to the Main World, he felt he could make a living off his looks too.
But that would not do either. After all, Bai He was a man with great ambitions, destined to leave Earth and roam the multiverse in the future. Though he might be rather poor right now, relying solely on his face to make a living would be far too undignified. Mm... yes, exactly.
Just as Bai He admired his handsome face reflected in the water, a silver point of light flashing with brilliant radiance on his chest suddenly caught his attention.
This was... a Deified Acupoint?
Seeing the bright, flickering silver point within his clothes, which were so full of holes they looked even more ragged than beggar's rags, Bai He froze.
Right, not long ago, he had wanted to see whether he could use the vast dragon essence contained in the Zhongting Acupoint in his chest in place of his true qi. But the return of the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Soul had forced him into the Hidden Dragon Transformation state, interrupting the attempt.
Dragon essence was the name Bai He had given to the power contained in the Dragon Crystal and the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Soul within his body.
However, the power contained in the Dragon Crystal differed somewhat from the power in the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Soul within him. Bai He did not know how to describe it, but the power in the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Soul definitely contained something extra compared to that in the Dragon Crystal.
Yet the essence of the power contained within the two was the same, so Bai He still referred to both as dragon essence!
"Phew~"
Bai He took a deep breath, then carefully began to mobilize the dragon essence contained in the deified Zhongting Acupoint within his body.
As the dragon essence in his Zhongting Acupoint began circulating along the true qi circulation path of the Heavenly Tablet Mystic Skill, all kinds of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy around him began converging toward Bai He.
There was water spiritual energy, earth energy from mountains and rivers, and all kinds of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy Bai He did not recognize. Endless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy transformed into layers of dazzling seven-colored radiant light that enveloped Bai He.
It actually worked!
Feeling the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy continuously pouring into his body from all around him, Bai He was somewhat excited.
Although his body's strength had already reached the Mortal Shedding Realm, without true qi, his combat power was undoubtedly greatly reduced.
Simply being unable to use lightness skills or dry his clothes with true qi made him deeply uncomfortable, not to mention that without true qi, he could not even use the Heavenly Tablet Mystic Skill's crucial ability to gather Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.
Now that he had the dragon essence in his Zhongting Acupoint to replace true qi, his combat strength had undoubtedly skyrocketed!
After the Dragon Crystal's baptism, his body-tempering cultivation had advanced to Mortal Shedding Second Heaven. Combined with the divine power Hidden Dragon Transformation and the dragon essence in his Zhongting Acupoint, he could unleash strength at the peak of Mortal Shedding Fourth Heaven.
He could even fight ordinary Mortal Shedding Fifth Heaven experts—defying the natural order to slay immortals!
