Chapter 651: Chapter 55: Two Women Compete for the Same Man, Debasing Themselves

However, that strand of imprint was too fragile, with a limit to the power it could bear. Lu Chengfeng sensed his transformed Nine-headed Insect. Since he absorbed part of its power from the past, its strength was only around the eighth or ninth layer, yet this Fierce Beast possessed nine innate divine abilities, and each head was equivalent to a life. Even when contending with the Twelfth Layer, it would not be at a disadvantage.

"I can hardly imagine the terrifying might of this Fierce Beast at its peak. Yet such an existence was swallowed by the Taotie, just thinking about it makes one’s scalp tingle."

"However, now it all becomes my opportunity!"

Lu Chengfeng carefully sensed the transformations of the Nine-headed Insect. He could, through the Path of Transformation, continuously draw power from the past Nine-headed Insect. With the passage of time, one day, he might even fully restore the Nine-headed Insect to the world.

The Path of Transformation, borrowing time and causality, anchors the living beings, capable of countless transformations, and can turn others’ power for one’s use. Its wonders are beginning to reveal themselves as Lu Chengfeng’s Tao cultivation deepens.

He didn’t stop. With a flicker of his body, dazzling with golden light, he transformed into a Golden Lion, roaring skyward. The terrifying sound waves made the Void tremble and spread like ripples.

Pure and yang, driving away evil and warding off demons, suppressing evil spirits, swallowing and spitting the light of the Great Sun, this Golden Lion was truly a Divine Beast and an Auspicious Beast.

Lu Chengfeng transformed into a Golden Lion as well, but could only draw part of its power. Only by continuously cultivating this transformation could he gradually train it to its peak, reawakening the divine might of the Golden Lion.

Next, he sequentially transformed into a Two-headed Golden Flood Dragon, Kui Ox, Baxia, Vermilion Ape, Cyan Simurgh, and the Innate Divine Demon swallowed by the Taotie.

Various divine phenomena appeared successively, with an aura that shook the heavens and earth.

Luo Suyi and Su Hongxiu naturally noticed the anomaly here.

Su Hongxiu rushed over at once. Seeing this man, who had taken her, sequentially transform into ancient creatures, each incredibly terrifying, their aura made her feel apprehensive.

"What kind of Great Tao is he cultivating? It’s simply astonishing."

"Even the Thirty-Six Celestial Gang Transformations and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Transformations in the Divine Court could not exhibit such phenomena."

"And the Thousand Transformations of the Six Desires Celestial Demon cannot possibly transform into ancient Fierce Beasts."

As the Vermilion Bird Taoist Lord, her insight far surpassed ordinary Immortal Gods, and she could see that Lu Chengfeng’s transformations were not just superficial but had both form and spirit, even possessing the innate divine abilities of these creatures.

Between the Great Taos, there also exists mutual reinforcement and restraint. Encountering an adversary that restrains oneself would be very problematic.

But Lu Chengfeng could transform endlessly, who could restrain him?

Su Hongxiu’s beautiful eyes shimmered. After all, just having been taken by someone and now seeing her man so valiant, she couldn’t help but feel her heart flutter.

"Indeed, truly worthy of being my man..."

"Hmph, you’re lucky."

"You barely qualify to be worthy of me."

As she was thinking, Luo Suyi arrived.

As the true master of Cyan Nether Palace, nothing happening within Cyan Nether Palace could escape her notice.

Including what Lu Chengfeng and Su Hongxiu just did in the hall.

However, she was long accustomed to it. As Lu Chengfeng’s first woman, she had watched her husband wed one after another, taking one after another before her eyes.

Yet none of these women could stay by his side for long.

Her man appeared affectionate but was truly heartless to the extreme.

After all these years, only towards her did he show some wedded affection, while for others, it was just fooling around.

So even if Lu Chengfeng entwined with Su Hongxiu right in front of her, she did not mind at all.

After all, there had been even more outrageous things in the past.

On the contrary, seeing Luo Suyi, Su Hongxiu’s expression stiffened slightly.

She had long guessed Lu Chengfeng couldn’t only have her, especially having heard before that this man seemed to have ties with Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable, and many people even considered him that Celestial Venerable’s male concubine.

But she didn’t expect to meet another woman so soon.

However, her gaze quickly shifted slightly, sweeping over Luo Suyi.

This woman was astonishingly voluptuous, with hips like a millstone, an exaggerated waist-hip curve making one’s mouth dry, especially her chest, ready to spill over. She was naturally seductive.

A Female Immortal, as her cultivation and Tao cultivation advanced, her appearance would become more and more transcendent. Any Female Immortal in the mundane world was undoubtedly the number one beauty under the heavens.

Moreover, her outer appearance subtly matched her own Dharma form. Most Female Immortals, after transcending the mundane, had an otherworldly aura, a reserved air, the demeanor of an immortal, and looks that could topple nations.

The beauty and charm of a Female Immortal, aside from appearance and figure, come more from the internal to external temperament exuded by the Dharma form resulting from their cultivated Great Tao.

The Female Immortals of the Three Realms were of myriad forms, each with their charms.

But such intrinsic seductiveness as Luo Suyi’s was indeed rare. Even with Su Hongxiu’s experience, she’d only seen a few Female Demon Kings among the Demon Race with such deep-rooted wiles.

However, what surprised her wasn’t the woman’s looks or figure but the great Tao phenomena manifested above her head.

In her hazy glance, she seemed to see a Treasure Bottle of the Great Tao standing there, swallowing essence qi from all directions, with the sun, moon, and stars all contained within.

As if the Treasure Bottle swallowed heaven and earth, and the sun and moon evolved the universe.

Such phenomena were indeed extraordinary.

"You are..." Su Hongxiu took the initiative to ask.

"I am Luo Suyi, my husband’s first wife." Luo Suyi spoke, also sizing up Su Hongxiu.

After all, this woman’s Tao cultivation was profound, and her looks and temperament were outstanding. Plus, as a virgin, her position beside her husband in the future would not be comparable to other women.

Su Hongxiu’s face stiffened slightly upon hearing that. What does this person want to do, does she intend to compete with me for favor?

Her mind was in chaos. With her status and position, she had never imagined she would have a moment of competing for favor with others, and for a man at that.

This feeling was indescribably frustrating.

"Hmph, rest assured, I will not compete with you." Su Hongxiu slightly lifted her head, with a proud and disdainful demeanor, like a Divine Bird born from fire, aloof and reserved, untouched by dust.

For someone like her, how would she engage in such mundane competition between two women; doing so would be diminishing herself.

Luo Suyi nodded slightly and said nothing more. She had no thoughts of competing for favor; no matter how many women, her position in her husband’s heart wouldn’t change.

Seeing her demeanor, Su Hongxiu couldn’t help but curse quietly, "Pfft, a bewitching fox, this look is certainly not that of a good woman, only those Female Demons would be so enticing."

"Lu Chengfeng, this guy, why take such a plaything."

"Hmph, what a lowly creature."

The two women had their own thoughts and, for a moment, instead of speaking, just silently watched the movements on Lu Chengfeng’s side.

At this time, after transforming into many ancient creatures, Lu Chengfeng changed back, re-manifesting his Dharma form’s true body,

He was clad in a Golden Robe, his skin like jade, and a bright pearl bloomed with myriad radiance on his forehead.

Amidst it, countless runes glittered faintly. The overwhelming black aura previously there had disappeared completely, leaving no darkness and no shadows of Fierce Beasts.

Only the Taotie was bound by Pure and Muddy Qi. As time passed, its aura weakened, occasionally with black qi being extracted from its pores, quickly refined.

The entire Bright Pearl World seemed to transform into a crucible, with golden rays shooting out, and flames spreading, refining the Taotie.

The Taotie’s body gradually cracked, yet the essence within leaked out, causing even heaven and earth to tremble, infinite fear.

"Path of Devouring!"

Upon seeing it, Lu Chengfeng immediately recognized it, knowing it had to be the legendary Path of Devouring, one of the origins of the Heavenly Dao.

With a swish, thousands of symbols surged from the Taotie’s body, numerous black beams tearing the Void, like a black abyss, lined up.

Afterward, all the symbols took shape, clanking like cold metal, swiftly combining into a Taotie.

This Taotie resembled an incarnation of the Heavenly Path, looking down at the gods, suppressing the ancient times, majestic to the extreme.

"So that’s how it is... the origin of the Four Ancient Fierce Beasts is like this!"

Lu Chengfeng’s pupils bloomed with radiant light, unable to help utter a murmur.
