Hu Mang only knew that his sect leader was about to ascend to immortality, but he had no idea that so many other things were about to happen in this world.

As for True Person of Myriad Phenomena, aside from knowing that Fire Virtue Immortal, who occasionally came to borrow a fire, liked to complain about his disciples and grand-disciples in the lower realms, he never expected that he would bring so much pressure to the Mysterious Peak Sect.

At this moment, the Myriad True Person of Myriad Phenomena was preparing medicinal potions for his own cauldron to refine the body of the boy Hu Mang.

The great cauldron, radiating a divine light unique to innate treasures, floated quietly above the icy pool, containing all things within and swirling with light, as if it itself were an evolving world.

The crack created by the Pure Yang Immortal Lightning was somewhat glaring.

True Person of Myriad Phenomena is like a busy bee, skillfully placing each medicinal herb into the cauldron with practiced ease and composure.

As Innate Pill Furnace, the Myriad Phenomena Return to Origin Cauldron has several extremely powerful abilities, one of which is to refine medicinal properties. According to the True Person of Myriad Phenomena, the medicinal materials of the Mysterious Peak Sect are all rubbish, but after being refined and blended by it, their medicinal properties are no less than those of the carefully prepared medicines by the alchemy masters of this world.

As for the Longbo Essence Blood and the Mountain-Bearing Ao Turtle given by the Hu Mang, they are currently melting in the Myriad Phenomena Return to Origin Cauldron as the Earth Core True Fire continuously emerges from the dantian.

The Longbo Essence Blood was like a blazing flame, filled with heat and violence, surging and boiling in the cauldron, while the shell of the Mountain-Bearing Ao Turtle was like a cast iron plate, its green and yellow colors fading, revealing a deep black luster.

The process of refining medicinal ingredients looks simple, but it is actually not simple at all. As the flames flicker, wisps of magnetic light continuously overflow from the fire pit under the cauldron.

According to the True Person of Myriad Phenomena, this Mountain-Bearing Ao Turtle has a sacred mountain on its back and a vast ocean at its feet, with an immortal island on its back. Therefore, the turtle's shell is naturally blessed with the power of Earth Virtue. If the Earth Virtue cannot be broken, its body cannot be harmed, let alone refined.

However, this Earth Core Primordial Magnetism is the nemesis of the Earth Virtue. As if attracted by the power of the Earth Virtue, the magnetic light began to seep into the texture of the tortoise shell, like an invisible stream slowly washing away the foundation of the Earth Virtue.

As the magneto-optical light is drawn in, the refining speed of the two increases significantly.

The gravity throughout the cave abode was also noticeably increasing.

Jiang Mingshan and Wu Hun, having just finished operating the excavator, came looking for Hu Mang, only to be conscripted into the army.

As the gravity inside the cave abode increased, Jiang Mingshan could no longer withstand it. If he stayed any longer, his body would explode. He had no choice but to run away.

Besides the artifact Artifact Spirit, True Person of Myriad Phenomena, the only other beings still able to function normally within the cave abode are Hu Mang and Wu Hun.

Stimulated by a hundred times the force of gravity, the Hu Mang's body became extremely exaggerated. Its Sinew Snake, Tiger Skin, and Flesh Fox were all fully unleashed. Large and small blue veins all over its body were constantly moving, just like a snake and python. At the same time, the texture of its skin and flesh bulged up, as if it had been inflated. Tiger roars came from its pores. Under the "Tiger Skin," large and small muscle groups writhed and crawled around like little foxes, making the Hu Mang's size even larger.

In a short time, the Hu Mang grew into a giant over ten feet tall, almost the same size as Zhao Longbo before.

However, in stark contrast to Hu Mang's exaggerated physique, as a contestant who "Shattering the Void in both physical body and martial arts realm," his Wu Hun did not undergo an exaggerated transformation. However, his skin surface resembled a red-hot iron, radiating Qi and Blood even stronger than Hu Mang's.

The four major refining methods are combined into one, transforming external refining into internal refining. The internal organs, marrow, and blood are constantly being renewed and replaced, which is why Qi and Blood are inexhaustible.

The so-called "not broken" also means "not leaking." The vital energy Qi and Blood are sealed within the muscles, bones, skin, and flesh, like an old steam-powered magic Law Artifact at the Heavenly Gate, pumping air and compressing it simultaneously, resulting in exaggerated "power."

As a contestant with average Root Bone attributes and even less talent in cultivation, his Wu Hun was selected for the Mysterious Peak Sect because of his exaggerated martial prowess.

However, True Person of Myriad Phenomena didn't give him a second glance because of this.

In terms of Qi and Blood alone, any celestial soldier or general randomly summoned from the upper realm would have Qi and Blood concentration a hundred times that of Wu Hun.

As for the so-called "Shattering the Void," in his view, it was merely "taking a step forward" toward the path of becoming Human Immortal.

But having taken only this one step, he exhausted his potential and was no longer qualified to continue the evolution from Human Immortal.

He was more concerned about the two items in the Pill Furnace.

At this moment, the Longbo Essence Blood and the shell of the Ao turtle had completely melted, transforming into a phantom of a small giant and a divine turtle. The small giant stood on the divine turtle, suppressing the sea.

The little giant resembled a High Antiquity statue, its entire body gleaming with a golden luster, exuding an indescribable majesty.

The divine tortoise resembled a giant sea beast awakened from its slumber, its shell gleaming with a deep black luster, exuding an indescribable solidity and composure.

"The herbal decoction is cooked to perfection; it's now a situation where the tortoise and snake counteract each other. Hurry up and go inside!"

Without saying a word, Hu Mang jumped into the Pill Furnace on the spot.

Manipulated by the Earth Core Primordial Magnetism, the closer one gets to the Pill Furnace, the stronger the gravity becomes, requiring the Hu Mang to exert its full strength even in the smallest movements.

As soon as Fang jumped into the Pill Furnace, a terrifying gravity pressed down on his shoulders, back, and limbs, like an invisible giant beast tearing his flesh apart.

Before he could hold on for more than a few breaths, Hu Mang's vision went black, and his consciousness was dragged into boundless darkness by the Earth Core Primordial Magnetism.

Once he regained consciousness, Hu Mang saw a giant Longbo at close range, as well as Mountain-Bearing Giant Ao a mountain at his feet. He himself had transformed into a giant python held by Longbo.

The snake's eyes, like two ignited stars, swept across the sky and the sea, while its enormous body slowly coiled, wrapped, and writhed in the hands of the giant Longbo.

What a bizarre perspective!

Hu Mang stared at his reflection on the sea surface, speechless.

And Brother Longbo, where's your legendary fishing rod? How did you catch the giant turtle without a fishing rod?

So you're aiming for the Air Force?

As expected, Longbo tried to scoop up the giant sea turtle with his hands, but each time he only managed to pull out a mirage, which angered the giant so much that he repeatedly slapped the surface of the sea, creating towering waves.

Hu Mang's heart stirred. According to what the old man Wanxiang had told me, he needed to refine Longbo's Qi and Blood first before he could take Longbo's place to fish for the giant turtle and complete the final refinement of the Four Great Refinements: "Turtle Dragon Bone"!

Sinew Snake, Skin Tiger, Flesh Fox, Turtle Dragon Bone.

Only this Turtle Dragon Bone is something beyond the ordinary.

Artificial fairy bones.

According to the old man, simply brewing the medicinal soup is not difficult for the physical body to break through Shattering the Void, but in order to retain the possibility of further advancement, the Root Bone must be replaced with immortal bones.

If there is no immortal bone, an artificial one can be created.

Therefore, he not only had to Shattering the Void his physical body, but also with his Shattering the Void bones, which increased the difficulty to an even higher level.

However, it seems that my "snake body" state allows me to share the Qi and Blood of the giant Longbo.

Although he knew that the giant Longbo in front of him was an illusion caused by the effects of the medicine, Hu Mang was still shocked by the opponent's Qi and Blood, which was as vast as an ocean.

No wonder Zhao Longbo is impossible to kill no matter how hard he tries; his level of Qi and Blood is comparable to that of legendary Human Immortal.

The Human Immortal is a concept that Hu Mang only recently heard, from the mouth of the True Person of Myriad Phenomena. It is said to be the divine status of a person who has achieved sainthood in the physical body.

The ultimate goal of the celestial warriors, soldiers, and generals of the upper realm is to become Human Immortal.

Although the "Human Immortal Position" is not ranked high, it is not as good as the Five Elements Immortal, namely the Fire Virtue Immortal Position of his second-generation ancestor and the Earth Virtue Immortal that the True Person leader tried to achieve, but it is still very powerful!

However, since I can control so much High Antiquity Qi and Blood, things will be much easier for me.

The next moment, the snake's eyes shone brightly, as if they were completely ablaze. Golden flames spread throughout its body, and in a short while, the giant python in Longbo's hand disappeared, replaced by a giant dragon.

A bizarre dragon with no claws, no scales, no whiskers, and no head, but with a pair of enormous vertical pupils.

Those vertical pupils of giant eyes slowly swept across the sea, carrying an indescribable sharpness and profundity, as if they could see through all falsehood and pretense.

Your problem is that you insisted on fighting me at sea. In the entire Heavenly Gate, no one understands the Sea Dragon Vein better than me.

The giant dragon plunged into the sea, instantly splitting the surface in two to reveal the true form of the Mountain-Bearing Giant Ao.

The giant tortoise, like a cast mountain, hovered in mid-air, its eyes filled with confusion.

However, the strange dragon's actions did not stop there. The two sides of the split sea surface suddenly trembled, as if endless underwater currents were operating in a special way.

Seaquake!

Instantly, a powerful vacuum of Spiritual Qi swept across the giant tortoise's entire body from both sides. The Mountain-Bearing Giant Ao suddenly went limp, as if all its Essence Blood had been drained. Just as it was about to struggle to its feet, a giant, earthen-yellow hand descended from the sky.

The giant tortoise retracted its head and tail, slowly emitting a low, mournful cry, and then, like a mountain being crushed, slowly sank into the seabed.

The last thought in the Hu Mang's mind was of the High Antiquity gods in mythology who often rode snakes and dragons. This evolution of dragons and snakes might just be Dragon Vein!

Using Dragon Vein as a weapon, how monstrous!

Meanwhile, outside, True Person of Myriad Phenomena was watching the changes inside the Pill Furnace. This time, he wasn't staring at the naked Hu Mang, but at the medicinal soup. Seeing that the soup had visibly become clearer, he nodded.

"I had thought that the medicinal properties would cause some conflict with the physical body, but I didn't expect them to integrate so well."

Inside the Hu Mang's body, all its bones visibly thickened and darkened, resembling tempered Tiezhu.

At the same time, mountain-like patterns began to appear on the surface of the bones, carrying an indescribable mystery and profundity, and between the patterns, the faint outlines of dragon scales appeared.

The Wu Hun, who was still tidying up the medicinal herbs, suddenly looked up and heard a loud thud of a heart beating.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

With each heartbeat, the earth fire rose three zhang (approximately 10 meters) higher, and strange phenomena began to appear in the void surrounding the Pill Furnace.

At times it resembles a lake surface tossed with pebbles, slowly rippling with fine waves; at other times it transforms into a canvas being torn apart, carrying an indescribable distortion and chaos.

An indescribable ferocity and savagery slowly emanated from his body.

Physical body Shattering the Void!
