The dawn light in the Earthfire Abyss, carrying the pungent smell of sulfur, illuminated the abyss in a dim red glow.
Li Qingshan sat cross-legged on a scorching giant rock, his fingertips tracing a jade slip that shimmered with a faint golden light.
This body-refining method, known as the " Sun True Body," which was left behind by the Sun Sacred Clan, has its essence deeply imprinted in his heart.
The essence of this method lies in drawing upon and refining the most primordial Sun True Fire in the universe, thereby tempering oneself.
The Sun True Fire is not an ordinary flame, but the ultimate and most powerful force of the universe.
It possesses both the ultimate destruction that burns everything and the immortal creation that nurtures life.
Cultivators must directly draw the essence of the sun into their bodies during daylight.
Following the profound path of cultivation, it cleanses and refines every inch of flesh, bones, internal organs, and even the very source of consciousness.
This process is extremely dangerous, akin to throwing oneself into the furnace of heaven and earth forging oneself; one wrong step and one's body and soul will be destroyed.
Its core secret lies in using the ultimate destructive power of the Sun True Fire to continuously burn away the old body.
Furthermore, by leveraging its inherent creative power and supplementing it with scriptural secrets, it can reshape an even stronger and more resilient physique.
Every cultivation session is a rebirth through facing death.
The ultimate goal is to cultivate the physical body to be like the core of a great sun, with boundless and unparalleled blood and energy, so that all evils retreat and all magic cannot invade.
With every gesture, it can unleash terrifying divine power capable of the Burn Heaven and Boil the Sea.
Having been tempered by this true fire, the body's strength far surpasses that of others of the same level, comparable to divine gold and immortal materials; the physical body itself is the most powerful weapon of attack.
A single punch can shatter mountains, a single finger can sever rivers.
His body is filled with extremely yang and vigorous blood energy, shining like the sun, and he has a natural ability to restrain all evil spirits, demonic arts, and sorcery.
It can be considered the absolute nemesis of the cold and damp attribute.
This method also refines the spirit, making it as condensed as the sun, fiery and righteous.
It possesses extremely strong resistance to attacks of divine sense, illusions, and Body Seizure by evil spirits.
Having obtained this complete method and the insights of the sages, Li Qingshan has been practicing for quite some time.
The path of body refinement has entered the right track, with a clear system and unlimited potential for continuation.
The blood and qi within his body surged like a deep ocean, fiery and boundless.
He was confident that, within the same realm, his own Sun True Body was no less powerful than any Divine Body or King Body body that emphasized the physical body.
Four Extremes are perfected, the path ahead leads to Dragon Transformation.
The Sea of Bitterness is the source of magical power, the Dao Palace contains the spirits of the five internal organs, Four Extremes support the four dimensions of heaven and earth.
The Dragon Transformation Nine Changes directly refers to the great dragon of the human spine, connecting the four secret realms, and is a crucial leap that connects the past and the future.
Having achieved this level of accomplishment, the Big Dipper Star Domain could now be considered an "elder" and had initially acquired the ability to navigate complex and influential situations.
This realm emphasizes accumulation and sublimation, representing a comprehensive review and transformation of one's own cultivation and supernatural abilities.
Compared to the previous stages, the Dragon Transformation has nine levels, with each transformation representing a huge leap.
His accumulated magical power is so immense that it makes it extremely difficult to fight against enemies at the next level of cultivation, a feat that only an unparalleled genius can accomplish.
Unfortunately, Earth is in an era of spiritual deprivation, and Grotto-Heaven are hard to find. Although Kunlun is a good place, it is not a good place to test one's combat strength or to verify one's level of "forbidden".
Otherwise, he would really like to test what level of opponent he could defeat now.
"The spine is the ladder to heaven for the human body; only by Dragon Transformation can one undergo a complete metamorphosis and leap over the Heavenly Gate like a fish."
Li Qingshan spoke softly, his divine sense sinking into his body, clearly "observing" the spine that ran through his torso.
It is like a dragon that has been dormant for ages, dark and lifeless, waiting to be awakened.
"Hiss~"
The Xiaobai slithered over, its cool, delicate body coiling around his wrist.
The jade horn gently rubbed against his palm, conveying a sense of innocent curiosity.
Li Qingshan smiled and gently tapped its little head with his fingertip:
It's about awakening the "dragon vein" hidden within, not about transforming into the form of True Dragon.
He took out three crystal-clear Primordial Spirit Pill, crushed them, and dissolved them into a pool of spiritual liquid, releasing a fragrant aroma.
"Next, we need to accumulate immense energy to break through the barriers; we cannot tolerate the slightest disturbance."
Xiaobai immediately stood tall and proud, its jade horns gleaming with a faint light, its intention extremely solemn:
" Xiaobai is here to protect its master! Anyone who dares to approach will be bitten!"
His serious, almost menacing expression made Li Qingshan smile.
For the next three days, Li Qingshan focused intently on refining all the spiritual herbs he had obtained from Kunlun.
A massive amount of vital energy, like rivers flowing into the sea, surged into the limbs and bones, nourishing the Sun True Body and making final preparations for breaking through to the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.
The Dragon Transformation begins today!
Li Qingshan stood up.
In an instant, his originally slender body seemed to resonate with the vast dragon veins of Kunlun.
A majestic aura naturally emanates from it, towering like an ancient divine mountain, giving people a sense of awe and grandeur that seems to want to Heaven-Opening.
His thick black hair was neatly tied up with Green Lotus Dao Crown, the Green Lotus on the crown shimmering with light, in harmony with his breathing.
His facial features were sculpted with an axe, making him exceptionally handsome. His former gentleness had been transformed into an awe-inspiring and inviolable sacred majesty.
A slight smile played on his lips, revealing a look of exhilaration at breaking free from shackles and a resolute determination that seemed to defy the heavens.
With one step, the solid rock beneath his feet silently turned to dust, the surrounding space slightly distorted, and the faint sound of a dragon's roar echoed through the mountains.
He deliberately released his aura, his divine sense soaring into the sky, invoking the laws of heaven and earth in the darkness.
The heavenly tribulation arrived as scheduled, seemingly provoked by the provocations of the mortal world.
Before half an incense stick had burned, thick, ink-black clouds swept in from all directions, Shrouding the Heavens.
It is more than ten times more concentrated than during the Four Extremes Calamity!
Countless purple lightning bolts darted and rolled wildly in the clouds, emitting deafening roars.
There was also a vast, dragon-like roar, seemingly coming from the heavens above, brewing deep within the thunderclouds, its overwhelming power sending shivers down one's spine.
Li Qingshan leaped into a streak of crimson-gold Divine Rainbow, like a dragon emerging from the abyss, and in an instant, he had already swept across countless mountains.
Having precisely avoided several forbidden areas infested with ferocious beasts, they once again landed on that desolate peak that had withstood several heavenly tribulations.
This place is scorched black, devoid of all life, making it an ideal place to transcend tribulation.
The mountain wind howled, whipping his robes, and the thunder in the sky grew more intense, like the beating of war drums.
He raised his hand and gently lifted up Xiaobai, who had always been by his side.
" Xiaobai, step back. This divine might is no small matter."
His gaze was fixed on the safe area in the distance, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable resolve.
Xiaobai conveyed a clear but worried thought:
"Master, please be careful!"
Li Qingshan nodded slightly, and a wisp of immortal light brushed past his fingertips, steadily sending it to the top of a mountain a hundred miles away.
He then resolutely turned around and faced alone the calamity cloud that had been brewing to its fullest extent, seemingly about to destroy everything.
A resolute and unstoppable momentum surged straight into the heavens!
Boom!
The first tribulation lightning bolt was no longer a lightning snake, but a purple lightning pillar with a diameter of over ten feet, like a celestial river bursting its banks, pouring down with an aura of world destruction!
Its power far surpasses that of the Four Extremes Tribulation Lightning!
Li Qingshan neither dodged nor evaded, but activated his Sun True Body, causing his crimson-gold blood energy to surge into the sky, transforming into a solid barrier that directly confronted the lightning pillar!
The lightning exploded, and countless arcs of electricity raged, tearing up and annihilating the scorched earth and rocks thousands of feet around him!
His physical body remained completely still, only his qi and blood trembled slightly.
Is that all?
He spoke loudly, and surprisingly raised his hand, unleashing a dazzling burst of Geng metal energy that shot upwards against the heavens, tearing through layers of dark clouds!
This action thoroughly angered the rules of Heavenly Dao.
Dark clouds churned wildly, and the sea of thunder roared!
Countless electric snakes converged and merged, transforming into a colossal thunder dragon tens of thousands of feet long, its scales fully exposed!
The dragon head looked down, its eyes filled with the cold indifference of divine punishment, carrying the majesty of judging all living beings, and crashed down with a thunderous roar!
Li Qingshan's eyes narrowed, and he stomped his right foot on the ground, unleashing a surge of Xuan Shui Qi that transformed into a deep blue shield.
However, the Thunder Dragon was too powerful, and the shield shattered instantly!
He used the momentum to fly backwards for hundreds of feet, his chest rising and falling slightly, his blood surging.
"This is the true power of the Dragon Transformation Heavenly Tribulation!"
At that very moment, the core of the Thunder Sea underwent another change!
A blurry figure stepped out from the endless lightning.
He was draped in a hazy imperial robe, his face unseen, and surrounded by chains of myriad laws and divine powers, each step he took resonating with the Great Dao!
The Dao traces imprinted on heaven and earth by the Ancient Great Emperor in their youth were manifested by the heavenly tribulation!
" Great Emperor's Mark, Humanoid Lightning!"
Li Qingshan was filled with excitement, but instead of retreating, he advanced, his fighting spirit soaring!
The phantom of the young Great Emperor raised his hand and pressed down, instantly condensing thousands of lightning spears.
Like a storm, the attacks rained down on Li Qingshan's vital points, each strike containing a trace of imperial law, fierce and unparalleled!
"Well done! This is a perfect testament to my teachings!"
Li Qingshan let out a long roar, his divine power surged, and his figure transformed into a golden lightning bolt.
The wood element of the right arm coiled and dissolved, while the essence of the black water on the left foot darted and shifted.
At the same time, the Bitter Sea trembled, and the Purple-Gold Dao Bell flew out. With a loud "clang," the bell waves surged and shattered nearly half of the Thunder Spears!
However, the Humanoid Lightning bolt was incredibly fast. Its punch, though simple and unadorned, contained the power to shatter stars and struck the Dao Bell solidly!
Thump!
Like a great bell being struck by a giant hammer, Li Qingshan and the bell were blasted backward.
It crashed heavily onto the charred rock face a thousand feet away, causing the rocks to shatter! A sweet taste rose in his throat, and a trickle of golden blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Such domineering power!"
He wiped away the blood, but the flames of war burned even more fiercely in his eyes.
The Dao Bell tolls in the Bitter Sea, and the spirit of the instrument transmits a wave of energy.
On a distant mountain peak, Xiaobai, through the connection of its natal scales, sent a tearful message:
"Master! You're bleeding!"
"It's alright, we can just observe."
Li Qingshan suppressed his anger and calmed Xiaobai, his gaze once again locking onto the imperial figure in the sea of thunder.
He stood up and once again charged into the sea of thunder!
They engaged in a fierce battle with the Humanoid Lightning.
Fists and feet clashed, lightning and golden blood energy collided and annihilated each other, unleashing terrifying shockwaves powerful enough to tear apart the Void.
The Humanoid Lightning's moves are simple yet profound, each strike influencing the laws of heaven and earth, possessing boundless power.
Li Qingshan pushed the Five Elements Divine Abilities to its limit, unleashing the Sun Emperor Fist from time to time, his supreme yang blood and energy scorching the Void.
The Dao Bell hung overhead, casting down strands of Purple Gold energy that resisted most of the erosion from the laws.
This was a brutal yet invaluable ordeal, during which his understanding of the Great Dao rapidly improved, and his control over his own power became increasingly refined.
The fierce battle lasted for a long time. Li Qingshan was covered in blood, his clothes were soaked, and he was bleeding from many places, but his morale was high and he became more and more courageous as he fought!
Finally, under his fierce onslaught of pure Yang blood energy, the Humanoid Lightning's movements faltered for a fleeting moment!
"Flaw!"
Li Qingshan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, like a golden lightning bolt tearing through the sea of thunder! The three great secret realms of the Sea of Bitterness, the Dao Palace, and the Four Extremes resonated.
The Sun True Scripture was pushed to its current limit, and the crimson-gold Bitter Sea roared, pouring all its power into the right fist!
"Break!"
The punches are as swift as dragons!
A fist imprint as blazing as the true Sun, carrying an indomitable will and the terrifying power of the laws of destruction, slammed fiercely toward the Great Emperor's illusory figure's brow!
boom!!!
The Supreme Yang Holy Power and the Heavenly Tribulation Emperor Mark collided in a final battle!
The fist light exploded, like the birth of a star, instantly engulfing the blurry imperial figure.
The Humanoid Lightning twisted violently before exploding into countless fragments of the purest lightning tribulation principles, falling like a rain of light.
Li Qingshan opened his mouth and inhaled, drawing some of the pure lightning source into his body, taking advantage of its dual nature of destruction and creation.
He frantically tempered his entire body's muscles and bones, especially that massive dragon-like spine!
Rumble!
It felt like a thunderclap was exploding inside my body!
The raging source of the lightning tribulation surged into the spine like magma, bringing excruciating pain that felt like it was tearing the soul apart.
Li Qingshan trembled violently, veins bulging on his forehead, yet he kept his mind clear, his spirit fixed on the changes in his spine.
The first vertebra, bathed in lightning, was the first to gleam with a warm, jade-like light, like the first lamp lit in the darkness!
"If not now, when?"
He concentrated all his energy and spirit, like a floodgate opening, and poured it into his spine!
Buzz!
The first vertebra suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
A vast, ancient, and noble aura, like a slumbering True Dragon awakening, emitted a silent yet soul-stirring roar!
A tremendous pressure, far exceeding the perfection of the Four Extremes, erupted from him and swept in all directions!
The Thundercliff earth beneath their feet was pressed into a bottomless pit by this aura! Even the churning sea of lightning in the sky paused slightly!
The Dragon Transformation First Change is complete!
