Crimson-gold magma surged like a boiling sea at the bottom of the Earthfire Abyss.
Each wave of fire carried the Daoist essence of the ancient earth veins, and the fire crystals condensed on the rock walls shimmered like stars, illuminating the entire bottom of the abyss in a fiery red glow.
Deep within the magma, the shadowy figure of a dragon could be faintly seen moving about; it was a strange phenomenon where the dragon energy of the earth's veins merged with the earth's fire.
Each tail swing caused a deep rumble to echo from the bottom of the abyss, and even the Void rippled with subtle Daoist principles.
Li Qingshan sat cross-legged on the Xuanhuang Stone, which had been imbued with earth fire and divine power, making it as translucent Ruyu.
The natural fire patterns on his surface echoed the energy and blood throughout his body.
The spine throbbed, as if an ancient dragon's spine was awakening.
Six months ago, he broke through to the Dragon Transformation Second Transformation.
Seven days ago, another hurdle was overcome, achieving the third transformation.
Today is a crucial moment to solidify our foundation and strengthen our position.
"Boom!"
His blood and qi surged suddenly, rushing straight to the top of the abyss. Three dragon-shaped energies rose from his spine, swirling and roaring around his body.
Wherever the dragon's aura passed, the magma spontaneously parted, revealing the dark rock base beneath:
In the Bitter Sea, the Purple-Gold Dao Bell rang out with ever greater depth and power, its star patterns flowing like living things.
Perfectly in sync with his breathing rhythm, the scattered Daoist energy flowed along his meridians into his spine, helping him to regulate his surging divine power.
"Drink!"
Li Qingshan let out a low shout, his voice like thunder rolling across the bottom of the abyss. His divine power surged and flowed through the third vertebra of his spine like a river bursting its banks.
In an instant, the third vertebra of the spine suddenly shone with a dazzling golden light.
A dragon-shaped phantom burst forth from the body and hovered above the magma. This dragon phantom was several times more solid than the previous two.
Its silver scales are as if plated with moonlight, its claws and teeth are as sharp as divine weapons, and there are hidden patterns of laws flowing between its scales.
This is Dragon Transformation Third Transformation: "Dragon patterns growing on the spine".
Unlike ordinary cultivators.
He Innate Dao Embryo and had even reached the Realm of Dao Transformation to touch the origin of the Heavenly Dao. The barrier of "touching the power of Heaven and Earth" no longer existed for him, and this breakthrough was merely a natural outcome.
As the dragon's shadow swirled, the essence of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—automatically converged. The Yin-Yang and yang energies, along with the swiftness of the wind, transformed into dazzling divine chains that coiled around the dragon's shadow, emitting crisp clanging sounds.
With a thought from Li Qingshan, towering waves of fire surged from the magma pool below.
"With the blessing of the laws, even cultivators of the same level would find it difficult to withstand three of my moves."
Li Qingshan nodded in satisfaction, finished his practice, and stood up.
Three dragon-shaped energies converged into the body, dragon patterns appeared and disappeared along the spine, and the Daoist aura around the body became increasingly profound.
A month later, the fog over Kunlun was thicker than usual, and the thousands of mountains and valleys seemed to be shrouded in a layer of milky white gauze, which even divine sense could hardly penetrate.
Li Qingshan has been pursuing a fleeting wisp of spiritual energy for three days.
The spiritual energy appeared and disappeared intermittently, and even with his cultivation level and speed at the Dragon Transformation Three Transformations, he found it difficult to subdue it for a while.
His divine sense, having undergone Dragon Transformation Three Transformations, spread out like a spider web, yet he could not find the source of this spiritual energy.
It seems as if it was originally integrated with the Mount Kunlun.
The Purple-Gold Dao Bell chimed softly in the Bitter Sea, its star patterns flickering on and off.
"No." Li Shan was about to take a step, a blinding silver light suddenly shone beneath his feet.
Eighteen ancient star patterns burst forth from the ground, instantly intertwining to form a dome that covered the heavens and the earth, sealing off an area of ten miles in radius!
"Killing Formation!"
Before the thought even finished, space itself had already violently distorted.
The scene before my eyes suddenly changed; daytime turned into eternal night.
Above, below, and all around, there was a dazzling galaxy, with billions of stars flowing along mysterious trajectories, their starlight like ribbons, condensing into a tangible killing intent.
A bone-chilling cold seeped through the gaps in the stars, making even someone of Li Qingshan's cultivation level feel his hair stand on end.
"Such a powerful Space Restriction!"
Li Qingshan channeled his divine power, causing the Bitter Sea to surge, and his crimson-gold blood energy soared into the sky to protect his entire body.
However, in the next instant, he was instantly compressed by the invisible force of the formation, causing his blood and qi to stagnate!
The divine sense reached out and touched the stars, only to be cut by an incomparably sharp force of law, causing a tearing pain.
Buzz!!!
The Starlight Like Swords, descended suddenly.
Endless starlight condensed into billions of sword energies, cascading down like the Milky Way from the heavens.
Each sword aura contained the sharpness to cleave mountains and rivers, enough to pierce through the Xuanhuang Divine Stone.
" Geng Metal Slash!"
Li Qingshan's right arm, like Azure Dragon reaching out its claws, draws in the swirling energy of the Eastern Wood element, while his left arm, like White Tiger emerging from the forest, unleashes the powerful energy of the Western Metal element.
The two forces intertwined to form a net that cut down most of the sword energy.
At the same time, it stimulates the Sea of Bitterness and the Bitter Sea, nourishing the flying Purple-Gold Dao Bell.
"Clang!"
The Dao Bell rang, its sound waves spreading like a tangible force, shattering the last wave of sword energy.
Li Qingshan's heart sank:
"This sword energy actually contains fragments of laws!"
He dared not be negligent. The dragon shadow of his spine burst forth from his body, and three dragon-shaped energies swirled around him, radiating a majestic dragon aura.
Several meteorites, as large as mountains, fell from the sky with an overwhelming force, their passage causing ripples even in the Void.
These meteorites are not physical entities, yet they are far more terrifying than real stars because they are entirely formed from the laws of the formation.
Li Qingshan sense transformed into threads, entangling the stars and precisely capturing their landing points.
With his right leg planted firmly on the ground, the Xuan Shui Qi transformed into a massive vortex, entangling a star.
At the same time, the dragon's shadow soared into the sky, clashing head-on with another star.
A deafening roar shook the heavens, and stars shattered.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but he used the recoil to steady himself.
The divine body radiated golden light, rapidly healing its injuries.
Before they could fully recover, a massive vortex of stars formed beneath their feet, generating a terrifying suction force.
The Divine Body, tempered by the Sun True Fire and the tribulation of lightning, felt a tearing sensation.
Aligning with the Dao allowed him to seize a moment of stagnation at the heart of the vortex!
Seizing this fleeting moment, he leaped out of the vortex and remained there for two months.
He comprehends the mysteries of formations every day while navigating the ever-changing deadly situations.
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard.
The North Star shone brightly, and a Star God Giant Spirit, hundreds of feet tall and formed entirely from the essence and laws of the stars, shattered the Void as it arrived!
Clad in starlight armor and wielding a giant axe that seemed capable of cleaving galaxies, every step it took caused the entire array space to tremble violently.
The oppressive aura it exuded far exceeded the sum of all the previous killing attempts!
"Ants, yet they shake the orbits of stars; they deserve divine punishment!"
The Star God roared, and his giant axe came crashing down with the force of Heaven-Opening, but the axe blade did not reach him.
The terrifying, sharp aura has torn a bottomless chasm through the galaxy!
Li Qingshan's pupils contracted as he sensed an unprecedented crisis.
But the fighting spirit in his eyes burned to its extreme; even in the face of death, there was hope for life!
"Well done! Then use your body to test my magic!"
" Sun True Body, Open!"
boom!
The crimson-gold blood energy erupted like a volcanic eruption, soaring into the sky and dyeing half of the starry sky gold!
An aura of extreme yang and strength permeated the air; his black hair danced wildly, and his body was crystalline, as if cast from gold.
Every inch of flesh and blood contains explosive power.
The phantom image of the Golden Crow, soaring through the heavens, flashed and disappeared behind him.
" The Sea of Bitterness boils! The Dao Palace resound! The Four Extremes support the sky! Dragon Transformation through the heavens!"
The four secret realms roared simultaneously, providing him with endless waves of divine power!
Facing the descending giant axe of stars, he neither dodged nor evaded, his spine heaving like a great dragon, emitting a deafening dragon roar.
His fists formed a mudra, radiating boundless light, as if a miniature Sun was held in his hands!
" Great Sun Seal!"
The fist imprint slammed through the air, colliding fiercely with the giant star axe!
"Clang!!!"
Like a divine hammer striking celestial iron, the sound pierced the very soul!
The energy storm generated by the impact instantly swept in all directions, shattering several nearby small stars!
Li Qingshan's feet sank deep into the ground, and golden light trembled all over his body.
He forged his unparalleled physical body through the body-refining methods of the Sun True Scripture and the supreme yang power of the Great Sun Seal.
They caught a blow powerful enough to shatter mountains!
The Star God then spun his giant axe, transforming it into countless axe shadows that swept down like a reversed Milky Way.
"Shall we test our combat skills? Heaven-Overturning Seal!"
