Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 425 - 280: Feathered Robe
Boom~~~
In the Golden Light Forest, Chen Ku was startled by the enormous commotion in mid-air and immediately looked up.
He saw an enormous beast seem to crash head-on through the void, showering countless fragments of magical formation down towards him.
"It’s here!"
Chen Ku’s eyes narrowed slightly, seeing a gigantic centipede emerging above, its body about seventy to eighty feet long, dominating the entire sky.
Behind the appearance of this creature was a ’hidden formation’ that had been broken, revealing an environment just like the Golden Light Forest, evidently being artificially divided into two domains.
In that small section of Golden Light Forest where the monster resided, there was a dry well...
"Is that... the Spiritual Spring Well?"
Chen Ku’s heart stirred slightly.
Hiss hiss~~~
The massive golden light centipede from mid-air had already opened its huge mouth, unleashing a roar. The innumerable sharp oral teeth inside, trembled in unison, as they flew out instantly along with slime, shaking the air to form a gale, wrapped with terrifying demonic qi, and blasted towards Chen Ku!
[The Golden Light Centipede intends harm upon him; slay it to obtain Sixth Realm Evil Qi]
Whoosh!
Like an air cannon, it hurled towards Chen Ku, instantly collapsing the air over his head, pressing the trees in the golden light forest to bend instantly, while the raging wind roared backward!
"What a stench! Such a big mouth!"
Before the gale with demonic qi even reached him, Chen Ku already caught a whiff of the stinking odor. His face changed drastically, he dared not allow this ball of demonic air cannon to land on him.
Swish!
He instinctively flashed swiftly, leaving only an afterimage in place.
Crash!
After this flash, the demonic qi cannonball spat out by the centipede immediately struck the spot where he had been standing, leaving a huge pit the size of a house, with yellow dust rising in a cloud that shot into the sky!
"What power!"
Chen Ku stood grimly, looking at the giant pit the size of a house:
"This one strike, it has the power not weaker than one of my Mountain-Lifting Palm techniques!"
As he was shocked by the immense power of this casual strike from the golden light centipede.
Whoosh whoosh~~
The centipede, seeing its demonic qi cannonball hit empty air, immediately vibrated the plates below its ribs, flapping swiftly like wings, and in an instant, its massive body of seventy to eighty feet streaked with a golden afterimage...
A huge forepaw, resembling a sharp blade, came slashing down towards Chen Ku!
Whoosh!
The forepaw, like a giant broadsword, unleashed a power no weaker than any absolute skill level bladesmanship.
"Ha, come at me!"
Chen Ku had dodged that shot, simply not wanting to touch the stench. Now, having avoided the filth, he wouldn’t let this golden light centipede show off any more. He merely pulled out the Coiling Dragon Staff from his bag, mustering all his Seven Dragon Power, channeling his entire cultivation body’s True Qi, and pouring it entirely into the staff in his hand.
Boom~~~
In an instant, the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand gathered incomparable power, as he swung it with full force, sweeping it out!
Clang!
In that split second, this terrifying swing from Chen Ku struck the golden light centipede’s forepaw, an unbelievable force exploded as if a volcano had erupted on the centipede’s forepaw!
Explode!
The aspect of the centipede, over ten feet long, was directly blown apart by Chen Ku. From the fracture, countless golden, red, and green flesh-and-blood fluids burst forth.
Screeech!!!
One foreleg was blown up by Chen Ku’s staff, as the centipede emitted a wretched howl, a sharp screech that shook the sky, making the wind tremble, blowing through the forest with leaves whirling furiously!
Immediately, its gigantic body quickly slipped backward.
Just as Chen Ku leapt forward to slam another blow down, aiming for its head.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the eyes on the back of the retreating giant centipede, beginning to flicker with streaks of golden light!
"Bad, that move is coming!"
Chen Ku’s Heart Blood Premonition immediately alerted him. He instantly realized, it was the divine skill of this demon as heard by the Six-Eared Macaque, capable of shooting golden light from its eyes to envelop its enemy.
This was precisely due to the formidable nature of this divine skill.
Causing even this Golden Light Forest to remain unbeaten for over a dozen years, let alone someone passing perfectly.
Boom!
In the span of a breath after Chen Ku’s premonition.
The golden light centipede dozens of feet away, had over a hundred beagle feet rooted into the ground, the plates on its flanks shaking rapidly. Suddenly, tens of eyes on its forehead abruptly opened, spraying forth dozens of golden beams!
In an instant...
These golden beams shot out in dozens of directions: forward, backward, left, right, up, down, and so on!
Each golden beam extended five to six hundred meters!
Next.
Quickly began intercrossing and spinning like a chessboard!!!
In the blink of an eye!
These dozens of intercrossing, spinning golden beams each five to six hundred meters long, already covered the entire acre of the Golden Light Forest, forming an acre of golden light, fully covering this area!
With the golden light pressing down!
At the bottom of the golden light, a Sixth Realm demon resembling a sheep with wolf hooves sensed danger beneath the golden light, frantically charging around like a wild elephant, collapsing large swathes of the golden light forest...
However, upon collision with those golden beams, its massive body rebounded dozens of feet away as if it had hit copper walls and iron bastions, bleeding from the head...
At this moment,
A few miles away, Chen Ku gravely examined the acre of golden light in the distance:
"This is the divine golden light of that demon? Truly formidable! This ’Iron Mountain Rock Claw Sheep,’ already a Sixth Realm pinnacle demon, is naturally renowned for its tough physique, yet upon collision with the golden light, it was headlong into a bloody mess..."
Originally, during the demon’s release of the golden light, Chen Ku had already received a heart blood premonition warning from Nine-Colored Deer, and in the same moment, he activated Electric Light Divine Walk and the speed of the Black Smoke Beast.
In one instant, he pulled a bolt of lightning, flashing three miles away.
At a speed that even a Seventh Realm master couldn’t catch up to, not only did he dodge the golden light instantly, but he also had time to summon a Sixth Realm demon from the Evil Summoning Banner to substitute for an examination of the effect of the Golden Light Centipede’s divine skill.
It was seen,
Under Chen Ku’s watchful eyes, the acre of golden light enveloping the vicinity, under the control of the Golden Light Centipede, began compressing its suppressive range as if pressing down from beneath a golden heavenly dome.
Alongside the golden light incessantly pressing downward, beginning from an acre extent, it shrank, reduced in size...
Eventually.
Chen Ku watched as the golden light was shot out from about fifty eyes on the back of the Golden Light Centipede, all pressing down onto the Sixth Realm demon, Iron Mountain Rock Claw Sheep.
Squeak~~
"Roar!"
Accompanied by the miserable scream of the Rock Claw Sheep, it was completely crushed into a pile of flesh!
"Goodness! The Iron Mountain Rock Claw Sheep with such a sturdy physique was directly squashed into pulp under this compressing pressure of the golden light, like a piece of rubber clay in the palm!"
Chen Ku remarked, but his eyes didn’t show fear; instead, they shone brightly:
"What a great ability! I want it!"
He immediately flashed again, pulling out a trail of electricity, and struck once more towards the Golden Light Centipede three miles away!
Sizzle~~
The Golden Light Centipede also seemed to sense that the great foe wasn’t dead yet and immediately felt the oppression. It opened its large mouth to roar, while the fifty eyes on its back all started to emit light!
"How quick the reaction..."
Chen Ku originally wanted to see if his speed was enough to strike the centipede dead before the full deployment of its golden light, but upon nearing it he found that the demon’s golden light was triggered just by a thought, directly sending a beam crashing into him.
Boom!
This beam directly hit Chen Ku, making him grunt.
"Such hard golden light!"
What kind of defense does Chen Ku have now?
With the Golden Light Spell of the Huntian Overlord Body, Yuan Tuo Silver Armor, internal organ membrane, and various transformations enhancing the hardness of his skin; even if a Sixth Realm expert unleashed a full-force strike at him, he would stand motionless and withstand it.
Yet now he was struck by one beam from the Golden Light Centipede, causing his internal organs to shake, a metallic taste in his throat, and almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
It was precisely sensing the hardness of this one beam of golden light that allowed him to understand why the Rock Claw Sheep, known for its physique, got crushed into pulp.
A single beam had such hardness; if fifty beams interweaved and expanded into one acre of golden light, descending together...
That would be the fate of the Iron Mountain Rock Claw Sheep.
"I can’t outspeed its mind-controlled divine power..."
Just as Chen Ku staggered from being hit by the beam and was about to deploy spiritual means, he suddenly saw the Golden Winged Centipede opening its mouth to roar, and his mind stirred...
"This is your own opening, hey, Old Chen is here!"
Immediately, he utilized the ’Hidden Form’ divine skill from the Flood Dragon Transformation that originally belonged to the Qilin Blood Gu, transforming into a small scaled insect. Utilizing the aura of the Black Smoke Beast, with a ’whoosh’, he dove into the Golden-eyed Centipede’s mouth.
"A Seventh Realm expert with Gang Control has Gang Qi protecting their internal organs, and can’t be broken from inside; you, a Sixth Realm demon, rely only on the Golden Light divine power, and now that you’ve unwittingly opened your mouth to let me in, you have no chance left!"
...
"What’s happened?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"Shouldn’t Chen Ku have already encountered the Golden Light Centipede?"
Li Yuanhua listened to the surrounding voices.
He was also puzzled.
Logically, the Golden Light Centipede should have already deployed one acre of golden light during this time period, and once it did, Chen Ku would end up trapped beneath the golden light.
And as the golden light pressed down.
There would only be one outcome, Chen Ku’s Martial Arts Gold Order triggering the prohibition of the Golden Light Forest, activating the centipede’s internal ’prohibition’, forcing it to stop and let the scholar leave.
After all, when designing this checkpoint, it was intended to test the martial artists of Daji, not turn it into a mass grave for them.
If too many people were to die here, the consequences would be too grave to bear.
"Probably soon, Chen Ku should barely be able to hold on anymore!"
Li Yuanhua whispered to the others:
"When the time comes, he’ll be transported out of the Golden Light Forest."
Yet, just as he said this.
Boom!
From atop the plaque of the Martial Temple, a thunderous announcement resonated:
[Scholar Chen Ku, defeated Golden Light Forest Gatekeeper ’Golden Light Centipede’, perfect clearance of Golden Light Forest]
Instantly, everyone inside the Martial Temple was incredulous.
Immediately after, they all looked toward Li Yuanhua.
"How is this possible!" Li Yuanhua cried: "The Golden Light Centipede is dead?"
......
Inside Golden Light Forest.
[Diagram Master slays Golden Light Centipede, obtains a stream of Sixth Realm Evil Qi]
This is the Transformation Diagram’s notification.
...
[Scholar Chen Ku, defeated Golden Light Forest Gatekeeper ’Golden Light Centipede’, perfect clearance of Golden Light Forest]
[Martial Temple Reward: Divine Weapon Level apparel ’Black Soap Feather Mage Robe · Ruined’ set]
A fiery golden light, like a meteor, pierced through the waist of the Golden Light Centipede, penetrating the eight to nine zhang long creature from side to side!
At the end of the radiant path was a figure wielding a long staff, gazing at the collapsing Golden Light Centipede.
A beam of golden light descended from the sky, transforming into a robe in front of the figure, cloaking him.
"So this is the divine weapon level ruined apparel, got it!"
Chen Ku looked at the Feathered Robe on him, having several spots showing battle damage and holes, seemingly fresh from a battlefield, but even so...
With an outer layer of Black Feathered Robe, inner layer of Yuan Tuo Silver Light Treasure Armor, wielding a Coiling Dragon Staff.
Still, his overall aura from inside to outside rose by more than one level.
Chen Ku instinctively looked down at his feet, stating:
"Just lacking a good pair of shoes."
He gently descended to the ground.
Glancing at the Evil Qi of the Golden Light Centipede, he chuckled softly:
"A Sixth Realm demon yet possessing such divine power; on my path for martial destiny, I’ve slain quite a few Sixth Realm demons from the Evil Summoning Banner, just enough to manifest all your abilities for myself!"
Sixth Realm demon, Evil Qi indeed is precious, Chen Ku will not let the big formation obliterate it, he will handle it himself.
Immediately, he dismantled Xu En’s Hundred Feet Divine Consciousness, replacing it with the Golden Light Centipede into the eighth Transformation Map.
[Golden Centipede Transformation!]
