Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

The force of the strike was not weaker than a blow at close range from the physical body of a Martial Practitioner in the Tenth Realm!

However, Lin Dong’s body twisted in an instant, dispersing into a world of spiritual energy, his thoughts sneering coldly:

"After unification, for us Qi Cultivators, there is no physical body, let alone the so-called vulnerable points like the heart and brain. To attack me in this manner is truly childish."

After dispersing into a vast expanse of spiritual energy, Chen Ku’s elbow strike merely passed through the air.

Chen Ku swiftly spun and lashed out with his leg, with a force that seemed capable of shattering a piece of earth, unconsciously aiming in the direction of where Lin Dong’s body was reforming.

However, what Lin Dong reformed was not a body but a world of spiritual energy, within which suddenly erupted the sound of a lotus pond.

Lin Dong’s body transformed into a world of lotus ponds, seemingly swaying gently with the wind, making Chen Ku clearly see a heaven-like Lotus Pure Land, a realm of eternal freedom and genuine wonder.

This was not some kind of mental realm, but something truly tangible. This Cultivator of the Unification Realm had turned his Qi into heaven and earth, transforming his entire cultivation into a world of magical power.

This technique is called "Emerging White Lotus."

It is both physical and a divine skill, and also a magical treasure, striking with lethal intent!

Amidst the fluttering lotus leaves and swirling petals, each petal contained incredible magical power, piercing straight through Chen Ku’s body like an Immortal Sword.

Bang!

Chen Ku’s body exploded, turning into a wisp of white smoke, dropping a strand of hair from the air.

Clearly, this Chen Ku was an incarnation created by the technique of "Blowing Fur to Soldiers," and since he could create three incarnations at once, it indicated that Lin Dong’s unbelievable Primordial Qi transformation killed one, leaving two remaining.

"What? Is this an ancient martial art incarnation technique?"

Lin Dong was shocked. Once his "Emerging White Lotus" was executed, even cultivators of the same Eleventh Realm had to temporarily retreat. Although he indeed killed Chen Ku, it was merely an incarnation, a complete waste of his spirit and mana essence.

However, the situation was beyond his control. After killing one of Chen Ku’s incarnations, another Chen Ku appeared not far away.

This incarnation’s hand movements required no thought, immediately transforming into a form, extending a palm that was the signature "Heavenly Control Hand."

Originally, Chen Ku wouldn’t display this signature Martial Arts Freehand move of his, but now he had no choice but to hope for three incarnations to simultaneously appear, allowing him three to five seconds.

As the Heavenly Control Hand emerged, thousands of martial arts wills were instantly born within the palm, leaping and weaving like tiny figures, forming the palm’s lines.

With one slap, it headed towards the magical world of the Emerging White Lotus.

The palm’s shadow loomed like heaven, heaven crumbling and earth collapsing.

Qi and blood qi collided continuously, exploding, clashing with the white lotus Lin Dong had transformed into thousands of times in an instant.

At the same time, the third incarnation of Chen Ku without hesitation struck as well, employing battle techniques, instantly transforming the martial arts techniques encountered and acquired during this journey into a battle technique.

This was a blade, formed by absorbing and incorporating the essence of the Champion Marquis’ Territory Expansion, then reshaped by battle techniques, creating an exceptionally unique blade strike.

Crack! Clang!

The third incarnation nearly turned itself into a blade, cooperating with the second incarnation, attacking Lin Dong in unison, engaging in a fierce battle.

Yet, the outcome was.

Even facing two incarnations each equivalent to Chen Ku’s combat power, Lin Dong’s White Lotus World still remained intact. Instead, emerging from the white lotus was a figure resembling an ancient Taoist True Monarch, topped with a Thunder Pond, from which countless thunderous flood dragons spewed out, roaring as they engaged in battle.

This was Lin Dong’s cultivation direction.

In the Eleventh Realm of Qi Cultivators in Yuan Country, after unification, the next step was tribulation crossing. This tribulation crossing did not refer to the Divine Soul System cultivators undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation.

Qi Cultivators undergo a Dharma Tribulation, a test of the Heaven and Earth Laws, and upon passing, they can integrate laws into their mana.

This Thunder True Monarch was prepared for the tribulation crossing, ready to cultivate the Law of Thunder.

Rumbling!!

As if ten thousand thunders erupted at once in the mountains, the blinding light and arcs of electricity devoured the attacks of Chen Ku’s two incarnations, mercilessly obliterating them in mid-air.

Bang! Bang!

Two wisps of white smoke, turning into strands of hair, fell.

"Another incarnation?!"

Lin Dong was truly enraged.

He, a respectable Eleventh Realm Unification Cultivator, was being played repeatedly by a Tenth Realm Divinity Transformation Cultivator, unable to completely subdue him. This was sheer child’s play and humiliation.

"Where’s the true body?"

He searched swiftly for Chen Ku within the heavens and earth.

Yet unexpectedly, at this time, Chen Ku had already retreated far beyond a hundred miles, using the domain he had unfolded.

"Where do you think you’re going?!"

Lin Dong roared, his body turning into Qi, chasing with a howl, a distance of a hundred miles was but a moment for him who could turn Qi into heaven and earth.

However, ahead, Chen Ku seemed not to intend to keep fleeing.

He stood on the riverside, suddenly summoning a Heavenly Blade from his brow, precisely the Divine Strategy Horse-Slaying Saber, while simultaneously opening his Eight Gates to the limit, empowered by the enhancement of all his incarnations, striking towards the forbidden zone beyond the riverside.

The spot across the river was where he had collected the Dragon Head Ginseng.

At the time, he had sensed something was amiss with that location; even the Drought God Air Domain couldn’t invade it. If not for the Green Dragon Qi capable of enticing out the Dragon Head Ginseng, he would have had no way to deal with it.

Combining the information heard by the Six-Eared Macaque, it was undoubtedly possible that behind that riverside, there was another forbidden zone akin to ’Qingcheng Cliff’ deep within the Changbai Mountain Range, home to heart fire snakes, hiding great secrets.

This was the idea that struck him suddenly, as before entering the mountain, he had heard of forbidden zones and demon immortals within, which even Martial Practitioners of the Thirteenth Realm dared not provoke lightly.

If things went as he hoped, he could harness the advantage of tiger swallowing wolf.

If not, then retreating into the Hero King Realm or abandoning this External Body incarnation was still time.

"He...wait, the aura there seems a bit..."

Lin Dong, approaching with a roar from afar, saw Chen Ku waving a saber light a thousand feet long, chopping towards the forest on the river’s other side.

His heart began to thump rapidly for reasons unknown.

Whoosh~~~

The saber light, wielded with all of Chen Ku’s battle power, cleaved the sky almost in halves with one stroke.

However, when it struck the forest across the riverbank, it eerily seemed like it collided with the high sky crafted of bronze walls and iron bastions.

Clang!!!

A thunderous crash akin to heaven and earth being sundered resonated through tens and hundreds of miles.

Soon after, a kingly Qi mechanism, seeming from an Ancient Wilderness era, surged forth like turbulent waves.

"Not good, it’s the mountain’s demon immortals!"

Earlier when entering the mountain, he had already been oppressed once by the furious Qi mechanism of the demon immortals like a tsunami, only evading it by using a Breath-holding Talisman.

Unexpectedly...

"As expected!"

Hearing that startling explosive sound, Chen Ku sensed the tiger’s mouth tingled and cracked, blood bursting forth, yet upon feeling that violent savage aura emerge, he was pleased, his spirit flickered, quickly immersing into the Hero King Realm.

Leaving Lin Dong, who was in pursuit, behind at the riverside.

As Chen Ku was about to finally enter the Hero King Realm, he vaguely saw across the riverbank, the forest-like scene painted out revealing its true visage, unexpectedly being a large mountain.

A thunderous roar, irritable as thunder, resounded from that mountain, revealing a colossal Fierce Ape, emerging from the mountaintop far away, appearing like a mere grain, then...

With a leap, spanning tens to hundreds of miles, landing in an instant.

Upon Lin Dong looking up, his pupils contracted.

The entire heavenly dome was dominated by a form resembling a mountain, accompanied by the fierce ape’s double-footed landing infused with Ancient taboo breath.

The ground, as though a dragon turned over, raised soil clouds as high as hills, its momentum like a hurricane sweeping through a sandstorm, ravaging all the forests.
