Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 558 - 359: Shattering Void
Boom!
The Blood Qi River of the Jiang Family Elders resonated in mid-air.
Everyone was stunned.
Everything happened almost in a flash.
No one could have imagined that after the Jiang Family Elder appeared, with an invincible aura, intending to capture the super genius youth of the Qiu Dragon Mansion, the result... actually forced out a Tenth Realm master behind Chen Ku.
And, the master even opened his mouth to say...
What? Chen Ku is the eleventh generation Sect Master of Mount Putuo?
Mount Putuo.
The young ones didn’t remember, but some old martial artists, who had lived since a century or two ago, how could they forget that back in Dragon Abyss Province, there were thirteen major sects, and in You State alone, there were three major sects.
Imperial Enlightenment Sect, Mount Putuo, Ming King Sect.
But...
Weren’t these three major sects already obliterated in the chaotic times?
How could Mount Putuo still have any inheritance?
This monk? Was he a monk from Mount Putuo back then?
The Ninth Elder of the Jiang Family was also from more than two hundred years ago, and actually, when he saw the golden palm seal on Chen Ku, he already felt the aura of Mount Putuo, until the old monk admitted it personally.
Only then did he remember something, and he said to the old monk in a solemn voice:
"Are you the remnant of Mount Putuo hiding in Guanyin Monastery? The Tian Hai Monk of Mount Putuo back then?"
Tian Hai the Monk, a significant Tenth Realm master, was staying at Guanyin Monastery. Ordinary people and young martial artists didn’t know, but some major forces were fully aware, and they all knew Tian Hai had a problem with his mental state. Such a half-mad Tenth Realm, all powers would avoid disturbing him if possible.
Yet...
How did he suddenly become Chen Ku’s backing, even calling Chen Ku the Sect Master of Mount Putuo?
Didn’t Chen Ku obtain the Hero King Treasure? How did he get involved with Mount Putuo of the past?
For a moment, questions filled the mind of the Jiang Family Elder.
Yet.
Tian Hai the Monk had no other thoughts. His somewhat thin face was indifferent, looking at the Jiang Family Elder, without a word, a golden Divine Blade shot from his brow.
Clang!
The golden Divine Blade, its light soared to the sky, slashed towards the Jiang Family Elder.
"Spirit Transformation! Prajnaparamita Skill of Mount Putuo!"
The Jiang Family Elder exclaimed, immediately forming a Martial Arts Fist Seal between his hands, punching at the blade, this was the Jiang Family’s "Barbarian God Power," refining the flesh, the fist seal evolved as if it had magic, striking the spiritual transformation of Tian Hai the Monk.
Bang!
The fist seal collided with the Divine Blade.
The Heavenly Universe within dozens of li shook, the light dazzling, and the fist seal of the Jiang Family Elder shattered into a storm of Blood Qi, spreading around.
"Cough, cough..."
The Jiang Family Elder retreated, coughing blood.
Tian Hai the Monk turned to Chen Ku and said:
"Sect Master, go ahead with your business, leave him to this old monk."
Chen Ku saluted Tian Hai the Monk and said, "Then I will trouble Master Uncle."
If today Tian Hai the Monk could suppress the Jiang Family Elder, one could imagine that from today onwards, no one would dare to plot against him, knowing he has a Tenth Realm master standing behind him, not to be offended lightly.
He then turned and headed towards Divine Martial Mountain.
Tian Hai the Monk saw that Chen Ku had already left, placed one hand in front of his chest, his gaze indifferent, glancing at the retreating Jiang Family Elder who had been struck by his spiritual blade, walking over step by step.
The Jiang Family Elder looked at Tian Hai the Monk approaching, with the terrifying pressure of the Primordial Heaven Realm.
His face showed surprise, but immediately he said coldly:
"Just a Tenth Realm with a mental problem, this old man was a Breakthrough master back then, today let me try to battle you, this sickly Tenth Realm monk, on my Ninth Realm peak."
He also saw Chen Ku heading towards Divine Martial Mountain.
But instead, there was a bizarre smile on his face.
Because their Jiang Family had a junior, called Jiang Hengchu, known as Little Barbarian God, who was also preparing to apply for the Divine Martial Hall over there, it wouldn’t be so easy for Chen Ku to join the Divine Martial Hall.
So Chen Ku won’t be able to escape.
And the battle intent showed in his eyes, taking a step forward, black light appeared on his body, like being possessed by the Barbarian God, his muscles knotted, facing the pressure of the Tenth Realm old monk, not only unafraid but actively punching at Tian Hai the Monk.
Rumble~
Outside Yan Capital, a Ninth Realm peak and a Tenth Realm Primordial Heaven confronted each other just like that.
In an instant, the momentum was so great that it attracted the attention of all major powers.
Even the representatives of the Nine Major Sects in the Divine Martial Hall and the Main Sacrificial Officer of the Dragon Abyss Martial Temple were looking over there.
Boom!
Tian Hai the Monk’s spiritual thought transformed into a Buddhist palm, suppressing the Jiang Family Elder.
The two forces collided.
The void seemed like a painting being held by a huge golden hand, fiercely shaking, a terrifying scene.
Even Chen Ku, who was about to reach the Divine Martial Hall, couldn’t help but instinctively look back.
A serious expression flickered in his eyes:
"This Jiang Family Elder seems somewhat extraordinary. Even though he’s just one threshold away from the Tenth Realm, he can exchange a few moves with Uncle Tian Hai?"
But just as he was thinking this.
In the vast sky ahead, the air currents seemed to transform into a massive millstone, rolling toward him, accompanied by a young voice filled with ferocity:
"You are the Chen Ku who killed our Jiang Family’s useless Seventh Young Master. I am Jiang Hengchu, I’ve been waiting for you a long time."
Accompanying this sentence,
from the mountain forest below, a barbaric youth wearing a nose ring and a beast hide skirt, with a spiked club slung over his back, appeared and smashed a fist toward Chen Ku.
[If there is Jiang Hengchu, who intends harm to the master, subduing him would yield Evil Qi of the Eighth Realm...]
Jiang Hengchu?
Is this the Gatekeeper ranked three hundred on the Genius List, notorious as the Eighth Realm pinnacle assassin?
With the Transformation Diagram as a reminder, Chen Ku wasn’t flustered by the ambush. Facing Jiang Hengchu’s incoming punch, he directly transformed into a humanoid lightning bolt and charged forward.
His speed was even faster than that of the ambushing Jiang Hengchu.
In a breath’s time, he had counterattacked right in front of Jiang Hengchu, the fist in his hand flickering with purple lightning, landing a punch.
Bang!
The fist wrapped in purple lightning collided with Jiang Hengchu’s punch, producing dazzling light between black and purple in the sky.
After the punch.
Chen Ku and Jiang Hengchu unexpectedly both stepped back.
"Hmm?" Chen Ku was slightly surprised, "After achieving Outer Firmament of the Seventh Realm, my punch just now, supported by Three Gates and the Ten Great Avatars, with Thunderbolt Qi from the Five Thunders Decision disturbing the micro-particles inside my body, can normally exert a force equivalent to Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants. Yet, Jiang Hengchu’s punch can actually match it?"
Jiang Hengchu’s heart was equally shocked.
It was because he practiced one of the Jiang Family’s three Divine Skills, the "Eight-Armed Barbarian God Force," which is also the martial art trained by the Jiang Family expert in Yan Capital. This martial art, after mastering it, is said to eventually cultivate the power of the Eight-Armed Barbarian God, an unparalleled Divine Skill for training the physical body, with power far surpassing the Six-foot Golden Body of the Hanging Temple.
Although Jiang Hengchu’s realm was merely at the Eighth Realm with once Marrow Cleansing, even lower by a minor realm than Xiao Tianzuo, Duan Qingxuan, and Xu Fanfeng, his combat power allowed him to rank three hundred, surpassing Xiao Tianzuo and his Jiang family’s Seventh Young Master Jiang Yufei by more than sixty places.
This was naturally due to the power of the Eight-Armed Barbarian God Force, enabling him to step into the realm of the Five Great Limits.
At this moment, after being repelled by Chen Ku’s punch, Jiang Hengchu instead revealed an expression of excitement. He drew out the spiked club from his back, his movements becoming increasingly slow.
His hands moved more and more slowly, yet the power emanating from them grew more and more terrifying.
Those hands seemed to possess a demonic allure, causing the forest beneath him to shudder, with the air collapsing continuously, and the spiked club in his hand acting under this demonic power as a demon weapon, with demon flames soaring to the sky, smashing toward Chen Ku.
"Bring it on!"
Seeing this, Chen Ku didn’t waste any words, flicking his wrist to transform the Willful Weapon into a long staff.
Having just broken through to the Seventh Layer of Outer Firmament and formed his Five Thunder Technique, he was precisely hoping for an opponent of equivalent combat power to test his learning.
Buzzing~~
In an instant, the Three Gates within him lit up like Cave Heavens, cascading Vital Energy, under the effect of the Five Thunder Technique, vibrating blood and flesh cells, revolving the Thunderbolt Qi of Heavenly Person, he swung the staff toward Jiang Hengchu.
Boom!
Both unleashed divine power exceeding millions of pounds, colliding together as if two immense void ships in the sky had crashed into one another, the sheer impact creating terrifying ripples, demolishing countless trees on a mountain peak.
They drew everyone’s eyes and attention.
In this way, the Tian Hai Monk and the Jiang Family Elder were battling over Yan Capital’s skies.
Whereas Chen Ku was warring with another Jiang Family genius near the Divine Martial Hall’s mountain gate.
The battle here naturally attracted the attention of numerous supreme geniuses and heroes within Dragon Abyss Province.
"This Chen Ku, just recently, successively defeated Xu Fanfeng and killed Jiang Yufei, elevating his ranking from beyond six hundred to three hundred sixty-one, and now... just after three days, he can duel with Jiang Hengchu, ranked three hundred, on even grounds?"
Under the watchful eyes of many geniuses,
Xiao Tianzuo and others slowly made their way over.
Watching Chen Ku and Jiang Hengchu’s ferocious battle on the distant mountain peak, which appeared close to demolishing the small peak, they all grew excited.
"Is this Brother Chen’s post-breakthrough combat strength? To so quickly contend with a top three hundred expert." Helan Qing exclaimed excitedly.
Xiao Tianzuo wore an expression of both excitement and complexity.
Of course, he understood the prowess of those ranked ahead of him.
The Genius List is a testament to power.
The higher the ranking, the greater the strength.
Otherwise, why would those with Eighth Realm peak combat power rank at three hundred sixty-one and others at three hundred?
At this moment.
Inside the Divine Martial Hall’s colossal Academic Palace, more than one pair of eyes were observing the clash outside the mountain gate.
"Who do you all think will win between these two?"
An elderly man with a long beard, clad in scarlet Daji First Grade official robes, asked those around him:
"Is it that Chen Ku? Or that Jiang Hengchu?"
Presently, if there were people from Dragon Abyss Officialdom here, they would certainly kneel to pay homage.
Because,
the long-bearded elder wearing scarlet First Grade official robes had come especially from the front line for the opening of the Divine Martial Hall. He was the Governor of Dragon Abyss Province and Taiyue Province, Anti-Primordial Heaven Marshal, holding military authority over the two provinces, a First Grade official of the Daji Dynasty, and the principal of the soon-to-open Divine Martial Hall, having reached the Martial Path’s Thirteenth Realm, ’Shattering Void’—Li Shentong!
