Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 442 - 289: The Array Eye is Complete!

[Champion Marquis Transformation!]

When Chen Ku hung a strand of the Champion Marquis’ Evil Qi on the Eighth Transformation Map, he carefully observed what changes this strand of Evil Qi could bring him.

Although he hadn’t completely suppressed the Champion Marquis’ imprint, he still obtained the Evil Qi. Such occurrences had happened before, like when he suppressed part of the incense intent of Baojiao County City God Duan Mingbi and obtained the Dragon Qi of the Nation’s Fortune; when he suppressed part of the Fire Evil of the Fire Beak Pot, continuously deriving Evil Qi, and when he shattered a Divine Aura behind Xu En, he received a strand of Evil Qi too—it was the same logic.

Regarding this, he could only speculate about the judgment logic of the Transformation Diagram. Anything that harbors malice and harmful intent toward him could become a source of Evil Qi. He vaguely imagined that future sources of Evil Qi might not be limited to people, demons, and might include certain natural phenomena, special rules, or perhaps a formation?

"Transform into a river, a cloud?"

He shook his head.

More verification results when he has time later.

At that moment, as Chen Ku’s thoughts flickered, the Champion Marquis Transformation on the Eighth Transformation Map had already manifested the ability of Shape Shifting.

Immediately, he focused his gaze.

[Champion Marquis Transformation·Shape Shifting]

[Shape Shifting Part: Hundred Battle Array Nourishing Technique (World-Surpassing) — Perfection]

Suddenly, in his mind, the Champion Marquis Transformation added a special cultivation technique memory message.

In a haze,

He seemed to enter a battlefield, incarnating as the young Champion Marquis, leading his troops to charge and kill in the field, wielding a great blade, expanding territories. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

During this process, the Champion Marquis operated a special cultivation technique within his body, seemingly able to use the war and the mechanism of killing to refine his Four-nine Sword Formation.

The more people he killed, the more seamless his Four-nine Sword Formation became.

His spirit withdraws from the cultivation technique message brought by the Champion Marquis Transformation.

Chen Ku had understood the nature of this cultivation technique, recalling the collected deeds and legends of the Champion Marquis. He mused:

"Back when the Champion Marquis battled for Ancestor Ji’s world conquest, he had a distinct trait—always penetrating deep into enemy lines, raiding tens of thousands of miles without needing any backup and support, practicing ’battle to nourish battle’. It turned out to be due to this special ’cultivation technique’."

The level of this strand of Champion Marquis Evil Qi wouldn’t exceed the imprint of Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, so the maximum capability it offered Chen Ku wouldn’t surpass the Seventh Realm.

This Hundred Battle Array Nourishing Technique was clearly the Champion Marquis’ method of nurturing his formations through battles.

Typical Sixth Realm Martial Practitioners reach the stage of Array Nourishing peacefully, until their formation can be controlled adeptly, heralding the Great Achievement of Sixth Realm Array Veins.

The Champion Marquis’ method was one of risky unconventionality, entirely forsaking peaceful nourishment, instead opting for frenzied battle, using combat to temper the internal formations.

"A fine thing indeed."

Chen Ku was slightly pleased.

He had initially hoped that the Champion Marquis’ Seventh Realm Evil Qi might reveal something like the Champion Marquis’ blade technique ’Territory Expansion’, or perhaps unleash Champion Marquis’ physique and other special abilities. Though he only got this ’Hundred Battle Array Nourishing Technique’, it’s still decent luck.

"This Hundred Battle Array Nourishing Technique is the most practical for me right now. As long as I suppress the Eight Gates Array with the Immortal Blade, I could achieve the Great Achievement of Sixth Realm Array Veins in the shortest timeframe. As for the Champion Marquis’ physique and other elements, visiting Fire Beak Mountain, those should naturally unfurl."

Chen Ku gathered his thoughts.

He empowered himself with the Champion Marquis Transformation.

He opened his eyes.

He glanced at the Immortal Blade in his hand, smiling slightly, saying:

"Now, won’t you suppress the formation for me?"

Grasping it firmly.

Buzz~

The shining divine blade instinctively continued to tremble, but sensed the old owner’s aura once grasped by Chen Ku...

"Won’t recognize your master yet?" Chen Ku demanded.

He deliberately operated the True Qi within him following the Perfection-Level Champion Marquis’ Hundred Battle Array Nourishing Technique, instantly exuding an identical ’confidence’ aura as the Champion Marquis.

This time, he directly operated his Divine Sense, imprinting it upon the Immortal Blade.

He utilized the ’Refining’ secret from Gao Huan, the Qi Cultivator of Yuan Country.

As his Divine Sense moved towards the imprint within the Immortal Blade in hand.

Perceiving a most familiar owner’s aura from Chen Ku, the blade’s resistance significantly diminished.

In moments, Chen Ku’s Divine Sense rested within the special Prohibition of the Immortal Blade, he counted, slightly surprised: "One, two, three, four... ten prohibitions, this Immortal Weapon surprisingly has ten prohibitions, each serving different functions."

His thoughts swirled slightly, simultaneously imprinting his Divine Sense upon these prohibitions.

Further moments.

He understood the capabilities of these prohibitions.

As the Champion Marquis mentioned, this Immortal Blade is an Immortal Artifact, even with the body of his Seventh Realm imprint, it could only exert thirty percent of its power, no more than three strikes, the reason lies within these prohibitions of the Immortal Artifact...

Chen Ku tested injecting True Qi into the blade’s prohibitions, attempting it, feeling that even a single prohibition seemed to devour half of his internal True Qi, thinking:

"With my current True Qi, I can only unlock two prohibitions at most, meaning I can only wield twenty percent of this Immortal Blade’s power?"
