Spirit Transformation!
From a distance at Divine Firmament Peak, Shan Li was the first to arrive.
She watched from afar, gazing up at the wildly expanding purple-gold thunderclouds, her expression solemn, even somewhat incredulous.
"A breakthrough is truly imminent..."
She gritted her teeth, turned around, and transformed into a beam of light, rushing towards the Seventh Division.
"Lei Ya! Lei Li! Baoting Hong! All Nascent Soul, return to your positions immediately! Seal off the area within ten thousand miles of Divine Firmament Peak! Seal off the entire territory!"
"All members of the clan below the Foundation Establishment, evacuate the core area!"
"No one is allowed to approach Divine Firmament Peak!"
Her voice, imbued with the power of Nascent Soul cultivator, resounded throughout the entire Divine Firmament Plain.
The seven Nascent Soul cultivators moved at the command.
Lei Ya was the first to transform into his true form as a giant bear, striding thousands of miles in a single step to guard the east; Lei Li, Baoting Hong, Xuanlei Min were assigned to guard the south, northwest, and southwest respectively.
The remaining bear kings scattered in all directions, completely surrounding Divine Firmament Peak.
Shan Li took one last look at the purple-gold thundercloud, then turned and flew west.
That's all she could do.
Breaking through to the Spirit Transformation stage is something outsiders cannot interfere with; it is a contest between the cultivator and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and others do not even have the right to get close.
Whether he succeeds or not depends entirely on him.
The Divine Firmament Peak.
Shi Jian has already manifested his true form.
The pale giant bear stood atop the mountain, its thousands of feet long body resembling a white mountain peak; arcs of purple-gold lightning darted wildly through its fur, tearing cracks into the void for dozens of miles around.
He looked up, aiming at the purple-gold thunderclouds.
Within his Nascent Soul, thirty-six strands of primordial energy exploded simultaneously, transforming into a monstrous power of immortal Immortal Foundation; the Daoist essence of the Purple Pivot Lightning burst forth from his body, like an invisible pillar piercing the Yunxiao.
The purple-gold lightning shot straight into the sky, which was his response to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
I am coming.
Above the sky, the purple-gold thunderclouds suddenly stopped expanding.
At that moment, the thunderclouds stretched for thousands of miles and froze.
Then, a crack slowly appeared in the very center of the thundercloud.
There was no light in the crevice; only an extremely vast and ancient aura, as if something that had been dormant for billions of years had finally opened its eyes.
The primordial aura of the Great Dao of Lightning.
The moment that aura descended, the Nascent Soul within Shi Jian's body began to tremble violently.
Thirty-six strands of vital energy circulated wildly, and the Purple Pivot Lightning Immortal Foundation roared in his Dantian; the Daoist principles poured into his body like a torrent.
It washed over his meridians, flesh, bones, and soul.
The tempering process has begun.
pain.
The pain was a hundred times more intense than when the Dao Venerable E Gu was tempering his bloodline, and it instantly filled his entire body; it was not physical pain, but the pain of his soul being torn apart by the power of the Great Dao.
The laws of heaven and earth are ruthless.
It doesn't care who you are, how many Nascent Soul you've killed, or how strong your bloodline and Root Bone; it will only use the purest method to test whether you are worthy of the title of Spirit Transformation.
If you can withstand it, you will Spirit Transformation.
Unable to withstand it, my soul and spirit are utterly destroyed.
Shi Jian gritted his teeth, and blood vessels bulged in his vertical pupils.
His physical body began to crack, pale hairs broke off one by one, and blood seeped from the cracks; but before the blood could drip, it was evaporated by the Dao's essence.
Even the Nascent Soul within his body was trembling.
The thirty-six strands of original energy began to disintegrate one by one under the scouring of the power of the Great Dao; the energy he had spent hundreds of years condensing and plundering was like a sandcastle encountering the tide at this moment.
While things are disintegrating, something new is forming.
The Daoist essence permeated the Nascent Soul and merged with the Purple Pivot Lightning Immortal Foundation; with each disintegration of an old wisp of Qi origin, a more refined wisp of Spirit Transformation essence took its place.
This is the essence of the Spirit Transformation.
With the Nascent Soul as its foundation, it carries the essence of the Great Dao; it completely transforms the power of the Immortal Foundation into a part of its own Dao essence.
Shi Jian's soul struggled in excruciating pain, but his will was as firm as an iron mountain, unmoving and unwavering.
He fought fifteen opponents single-handedly in Fallen Fire Valley.
Outside Burning Lion City, there was that Nascent Spirit Transformation's attack that nearly annihilated him.
The scene of the Dao Venerable's white bone giant claw annihilating the Frenzied Lion Manchu tribe.
Every life-or-death ordeal he endured became the foundation of his being at this moment.
The Dao and its essence continued to flow in, and the Nascent Soul continued to be reshaped.
The old energy disintegrated completely, and new Daoist principles gradually filled the void.
Shi Jian sensed that his Nascent Soul was undergoing a qualitative change; it was no longer a simple condensation of qi, but a true furnace of Daoist essence.
The Daoist essence of Purple Pivot Lightning took root completely within the Nascent Soul.
It became one with his soul, flesh, and bones.
In the sky, the crack began to slowly close.
And this is just the beginning.
Before Shi Jian could catch his breath, an even more terrifying power descended from the depths of the crack.
That power was like an invisible giant hand, trying to completely crush his soul, as if it wanted to turn him into the world.
assimilation.
This is what Shan Wanling meant by the final hurdle to Spirit Transformation.
The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth will attempt to assimilate your soul and merge it into the Dao itself; if you cannot resist, you will become a part of the Dao and vanish forever into the world.
Shi Jian's soul began to blur under that assimilating force.
My consciousness became hazy, as if I were slowly dissolving; the feeling was not pain, but an extremely terrifying tranquility.
It's as if by letting go, one can become one with heaven and earth, free from all worries.
But a cold, sharp light suddenly flashed in Shi Jian's vertical pupils.
Let go?
If I, Shi Jian, were capable of letting go, I wouldn't have started from a mere cub, not even Qi Refining, and fought my way up to where I am today.
His divine soul suddenly condensed, and the Spirit Transformation and the Daoist essence of the Barbarian Bone Dao erupted simultaneously.
The divine soul strength, comparable to that of Spirit Transformation, fully demonstrated its value at this moment; he forcefully pushed back that assimilating power.
The crack in the sky suddenly closed, especially at the last moment.
Shi Jian imprinted a trace of his own mark onto the invisible origin of the Great Dao; in an instant, a giant tree of thunder appeared in the sky.
The surface was covered with dense markings, but at this moment, a phantom bear head appeared, representing Shi Jian's mark!
Within Shi Jian's body, within his Nascent Soul, the last wisp of vital energy completely disintegrated; in its place was a wisp of Spirit Transformation, entirely purple-gold and containing the origin of the Dao of Dao of Lightning.
Boom!
A powerful aura of Dao surged forth from Shi Jian's body.
That aura was vast and boundless, like a thunderous sea; the heavens and earth within a radius of tens of thousands of miles trembled at that moment.
The vast expanse of purple-gold thunderclouds suddenly shattered under the impact of Dao Wei.
Countless arcs of lightning fell from the sky, like a purple-gold rainstorm, enveloping the entire Divine Firmament Plain; ten thousand bolts of lightning descended.
In the distance, the expressions of the nine Nascent Soul Bear Kings changed drastically at the same time.
That aura of power...
Spirit Transformation.
Early Spirit Transformation, a Immortal Foundation!
Shan Li stood thousands of miles away, looking up at the sky that had transformed into a purple-gold torrential rain; her lips trembled slightly, and her vertical pupils reflected the lightning that filled the sky.
After a long while, she grinned, revealing an extremely bright smile.
"You bastard Shi Jian... thirty years."
"Only thirty years!"
At the Divine Firmament Peak, a pale giant bear roared to the sky.
That roar, carrying the might of Spirit Transformation, resounded throughout the 300,000-mile territory, and even across a million miles of mountains and rivers.
The mountains and rivers trembled, the Spirit Vein surged, and thousands of bear demons trembled on the ground.
Its giant bear body continued to expand at this moment; until it revealed its true form, which was ten thousand feet tall, and was as sacred as the Dharma Idol Heaven and Earth!
Thunder was under his control, clinging to him like Flood Dragon, and used for his own purposes.
Thunder forms the steps, Purple Firmament adorn the garments.
A giant bear ascends to the heavens, its thunder roaring across the land!
"Now that I have ascended to heaven, thunder and lightning are at my command; I am the traitor of Violent Thunder; at this moment, in my honorable name, I proclaim to all thunder under heaven!"
"The thunder of the Purple Pivot, I shall command it!"
