Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 414 - 272: Hundred Feet Divine Sense

From the ground, surprisingly emerged wave after wave of an army formed from yellow earth, clad in armor, wielding sharp spears, numbering over ten thousand soldiers, charging towards Xu En.

"What! Formation transformation!!"

Upon witnessing this, Xu En’s already pale face turned as transparent as paper, screaming:

"This is bad, that young wretch has already mastered three-tenths of the Eight Gates Shocking Array’s power! I am doomed!"

It turns out,

he had long known that Chen Ku’s previous mastery of the Eight Gates Shocking Array was merely a rudimentary usage, without true understanding or essence.

After all, this Eight Gates Shocking Array was very likely arranged by that Shocking God Heavenly King himself in the past.

A Fourteen Realms Martial Arts Heavenly King personally embedding the array within the revival underground palace of his master, the Hero King, how could its power only have the effect of trapping people.

In those days, the Eight Gates Shocking Array of the Shocking God Heavenly King, when laid out, could truly resist an army of hundreds of thousands.

The reason lies in that each pattern of the array can manifest into similar soldiers.

For example, in the Heaven Covering Formation, the manifestation is the Heavenly Army, in the Earth Carrying Formation, it’s a massive yellow earth army... The Dragon Flying Formation, Bird Flying Formation are the same.

The power source of the manifested army comes from the array, and the power source of the array comes from the entire Hero King Realm.

Meaning, as long as this Hero King Realm doesn’t collapse, the power of the array is inexhaustible, and the soldiers manifested are endless.

"Ahhh!"

Xu En was completely collapsing, he tried to escape the ground using Divine Soul Flying Skill, however, a terrifying ’gravity’ born from the yellow soil of the Earth Carrying Formation, prevented him from flying high, leaving him with no choice but to sorrowfully face the charging thousands upon thousands of troops.

Chen Ku, outside, watched as if watching a play, observing the Seventh Realm Great Divine Soul Cultivator among the thousands upon thousands of troops...

Unleashing various Divine Soul Skills.

[Yellow Heaven Great Magical Robe]

[Divine Spirit’s Dharma Body]

[Moonlight Divine Spell]

[Yellow Heaven Spear]

[Nine Heavens Divine Spell — Divine Shooting Technique]

He watched the Peace Path Sect Hierarch among the yellow earth-transformed thousands upon thousands of troops, using every measure, the entire person resembling a divine spirit, halo glowing behind him, radiating brilliance, wielding a divine spear, constantly shooting arrows from the bow behind him...

However,

The yellow earth army within the array, along with the array illuminating before Chen Ku, buzzed intensely, extracting some kind of force from the Hero King Realm, simply impossible to kill off, once killed, they revived from the array patterns.

"Deserving of a Seventh Realm Divine Soul master, confined for almost two months, yet still possessing such lethal power among the thousands upon thousands of troops..."

Chen Ku watched Xu En in the array, as time passed, having already killed two to three thousand yellow earth soldiers...

Had it been his full strength.

Such a Seventh Realm Divine Soul master, fearlessly could fend off five thousand on the battlefield, break through five thousand with one strike?

But,

Now he was trapped within the array, Chen Ku had mastered the array’s most fundamental usage, Xu En was destined not to live.

"Ahhh!"

Xu En felt his Divine Soul Essence Qi becoming thinner, facing the onslaught of thousands upon thousands, he seemed like a swiftly burning candle, almost draining his Life Essence Qi.

He quickly realized he likely wouldn’t survive, watching the endless yellow earth soldiers charging.

Xu En suddenly abandoned the small arrows behind, dropped the long spear in his hands, with eyes full of venom, looking towards the void outside the array, saying:

"Chen Ku, dying by your hand, I definitely won’t resign, you just wait, the God of the Yellow Heaven will set sight on you!"

Words fell.

Suddenly, the Peace Path Sect Hierarch, with his halo and body, all exploded, yet after, condensed into a face resembling Chen Ku’s.

Seeming to transmit this face to some higher being in the void.

"Hmm?" Chen Ku slightly pondered heavily.

Immediately, his face sank, releasing two beams of white light against the array, striking towards Xu En’s Divine Soul thoughts.

Boom!

[Diagram Master kills Xu En, receives a strand of Seventh Realm Evil Qi]

Chen Ku’s gaze flashed.

"Killed? Dead?"

The reminder from the Transformation Diagram was undoubtedly true, Xu En first ground down for two months, then drained of essence by the thousands within the Earth Carrying Formation, ultimately exploding everything himself, Chen Ku seized this opportunity, released the strike, eradicating the opponent’s Divine Soul, it’s reasonable.

But Chen Ku...

Remained solemnly reflective of Xu En’s final words.

"God of the Yellow Heaven? Will set sight on me?"

Thoughts spun.

Heart saying:

"At most, I’ll take those around me, leave Qiu Dragon Mansion, head to You State, to the Capital, if capable follow all the way, I just can’t believe those Holy Land Sects, even notable figures in the Capital, will allow an evil god to wreak havoc?"

Thus thinking, relief from worry.

Then looked at the strand of Seventh Realm Evil Qi.

This,

This is finally the second strand of Seventh Realm Evil Qi that I have obtained myself.

The previous two were from the Golden Shocking Thunder Mastiff and Cheng Qingniu, which two of my elders deliberately spared for me to slay.

That was a thunder-attributed Seventh Realm demon.

Chen Ku estimated that to complete his subsequent ’Wind and Thunder’ physique for the Huntian Overlord Body, the Thunder Spirit Body would probably have to come from that Golden Shocking Thunder Mastiff.

Unfortunately, there has always been a lack of Seventh Realm Evil Qi to upgrade him.

Now, finally, there is a third strand of Seventh Realm Evil Qi.

"Let’s give it a try and see what Xu En, this Sect Hierarch of Peace Path, can produce during the first Shape Shifting."

Chen Ku hung Xu En’s transformation on the Eighth Transformation Map, after taking down Cheng Qingniu’s Killing Heart Method.

[Xu En’s Transformation!]

[Xu En’s Transformation·Shape Shifting]

[Shape Shifting part: Hundred Feet Divine Consciousness]

Chen Ku was slightly stunned.

Then, he immediately felt the effect of this ’Hundred Feet Divine Consciousness’.

"Divine Consciousness?"

With a stir of his divine thought, he surprisingly felt his spiritual power leave his body abruptly, seemingly endowed with the five senses, scanning through all the objects within a hundred-foot range space.

This hundred-foot range wasn’t a radius from left to right but a cubic space of a hundred feet in all directions.

The Divine Consciousness swept across.

Suddenly, everything within the hundred-foot radius, from the entire Mountain Lifting Great Hall to the creations within, even the soil beneath the floor tiles, was all clearly seen by him from the perspective of ’Divine Consciousness’.

"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable... to have opened such a thing from Xu En!"

Chen Ku exclaimed, muttering to himself: 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"What a good thing, this is truly a method distinct from that of a Martial Practitioner."

Currently, Chen Ku had encountered three cultivation systems.

The path of Martial Arts didn’t need much explanation.

Then, there were the Divine Soul System and the Qi Cultivator System.

The representative figures of the Divine Soul System were the cultivators of the Divine Dao like the Peace Path and the City God Land.

The representative figures of the Qi Cultivator System were his brother Chen Xin, Yelev Xuandu who was now trapped in that Stone Egg, and Gao Huan, the late Fifth Realm Qi Cultivator whom Chen Ku had killed.

Chen Ku had the least understanding of Qi Cultivators, only having obtained the ’Refining Method’ from Gao Huan.

The Divine Soul System was the one he had explored and comprehended the most, aside from the path of a Martial Practitioner.

From the Nine Heavens Divine Spell, he also learned that Divine Soul cultivation from low to high had ten realms, namely:

First Realm Gathering Thoughts, Second Realm Soul Departure, Third Realm Night Travel, Fourth Realm Day Travel, Fifth Realm Object Manipulation, Sixth Realm Possession, Seventh Realm Possession, Eighth Realm Yin God, Ninth Realm Ghost Immortal, and Tenth Realm Heavenly Tribulation.

"Divine Consciousness is an ability only available in the Fifth Realm Object Manipulation, capable of spiritual departure to control external objects; however, the Divine Consciousness of the Fifth Realm Object Manipulation is at most a line, with a seven or eight feet departure being the limit..."

Chen Ku whispered:

"Therefore, a hundred feet of Divine Consciousness must be a domain only reachable by a Great Divine Soul Cultivator like Xu En in the Seventh Realm Possession Realm."

In other words, after he equipped Xu En’s Transformation, he already had the Divine Consciousness range equivalent to a Seventh Realm Divine Soul Cultivator.

This was akin to having a full-range perspective cheat for a Martial Practitioner’s combat.

...

Chen Ku left the Hero King Realm.

After a month of seclusion, he wanted to know what had transpired in the outside world. After coming out, he sought out Er Lang immediately.

When Er Lang saw Chen Ku, he sensed the faint array pattern aura on him, and smiled as he spoke: "Congratulations, Your Excellency, for forming the great array."

"Although it has been formed, I still need an item to serve as the ’Array Eye’. I’m planning to enter the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth to seek an opportunity."

Chen Ku said and then asked:

"How have things been in the outside world this past month?"

"Everything is normal with the Three Emperors Ancestral Masters Association and Qiu Dragon Martial Meeting; the channel for pill sales has all been opened. This month alone, we earned six hundred and fifty taels of silver; the Qiu Dragon Martial Meeting provided the channel and took a thirty percent share, the Three Emperors Ancestral Masters Association provided the pill prescriptions and herbs and took a thirty percent share, leaving forty percent for myself alone..." Er Lang replied with a smile.

"Forty percent, that would be two million six hundred thousand taels of silver." Chen Ku nodded, feeling satisfied with this income.

Er Lang continued, "I’ve already acquired dozens of demon pill recipes from the Three Emperors Ancestral Masters Association. Starting this month, the demon materials within the Evil Summoning Banner can also be monetized, and next month we can take another twenty percent share; that would give us a sixty percent share to ourselves, earning close to four million taels of silver monthly.

Calculating like this, it should take approximately just two months to pool together the funds you need to open the Ninth Transformation Map."

The conditions for the Ninth Transformation Map: One strand of Seventh Realm Evil Qi, a hundred thousand catties of Fire Spirit Sand, a hundred thousand catties of Mixed Gold Steel, martial arts mastery in a world-surpassing martial art, and five Spirit Jades.

Of these, the hundred thousand catties of Fire Spirit Sand, hundred thousand catties of Mixed Gold Steel, and five Spirit Jades are all materials that can be purchased with money, roughly costing about ten million silver taels.

Chen Ku asked, "What about the Evil Summoning Banner? This past month, have you summoned any new demons?"

Last time, he had killed nine Sixth Realm demons, and with demons killing amongst themselves in the Evil Summoning Banner, there were only about a dozen left when he went into seclusion.

He handed the Evil Summoning Banner over to Er Lang and also passed on the incantation to him, aiming to have him continue summoning demons over the month for himself.

Er Lang smilingly drew the Evil Summoning Banner from the center of his brows and handed it over with both hands:

"In a month, I went out to summon demons five times, and now the Evil Summoning Banner has filled all fifty Sixth Realm demon slots. Among them, one demon with a special ability, I believe, stands out as the most capable among these fifty Sixth Realm demons."

"Oh?" Chen Ku was slightly surprised and asked, "What kind of demon is it?"

He hadn’t obtained a demon transformation with outstanding abilities for quite some time.
