Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 463 - 301: Refining the Fire Beak Pot

A fire pot the size of a teapot was controlled by Chen Ku’s divine sense and submerged into the magma.

This is the divine soul power of the ’Loose Cultivation’ transformation he blessed himself with. As the main transformation, the Loose Cultivation Transformation is coupled with other five transformations of divine souls from the Sixth Realm, making it a perfect Seventh Realm soul-possession peak cultivator.

In the Divine Soul System, the Five Realms are capable of controlling objects.

This is akin to the "Heart Movement" realm in the Five Realms of Qi Cultivation practitioners of Yuan Country, sharing a similar wonderful effect.

The only difference is that Qi Cultivators use the Heart Movement to operate their own mana, while Divine Soul Cultivators purely use the power of the divine soul to control objects. It’s hard to say which method is superior in object manipulation, but in terms of refining items, the ’Five Realms Heart Movement’ realm of Qi Cultivators has a more peculiar effect.

Thus, Chen Ku had completely mastered the heart-moving object manipulation technique of the Fifth Realm Qi Cultivator from Yuan Country, who he had previously slain.

So, as he sent his imprint downward this time, he used not only the object manipulation technique of the divine soul but also layered it with the Qi Cultivator’s heart-moving object manipulation skill, to ensure his imprint would be delivered to the core of the Fire Beak Pot.

Whoosh~

Chen Ku sat cross-legged on the platform above the magma, channeling all his spiritual power into the Fire Beak Pot.

As the Fire Beak Pot submerged into the magma.

His view also appeared like a thick, hot oily scene.

Bang! Bang!

The heat flow of the Seventh Realm magma, like dark whirlpools in the ocean, impacted his incarnation, the Fire Beak Pot.

However,

Because his Fire Beak Pot had a magical treasure restriction against all Seventh Realm flames, with just a bit more speed, it could swiftly penetrate through this layer of Seventh Realm magma, entering the Eighth Realm Green Flame Heaven and Earth.

Whoosh!

Under Chen Ku’s control of the Fire Beak Pot, in just two or three breaths, it was like an arrow shot out after sinking into the sea of fire, cutting a fiery trail through the magma.

"Ahead lies the Eighth Realm Fire Heaven and Earth. I don’t know if my Fire Beak Pot and the Fire-Avoiding Orb can hold out until it delivers the imprint into the core of the magical treasure where the Ninth Realm Fire exists?"

Chen Ku focused his mind. At this critical moment, he spared no thought but went all out to control his incarnation through the Seventh Realm Magma Sea.

Oof ~

As if passing through a curtain of flames, he delved deeper into the earth.

The blue flame world where the Eighth Realm flames reside!

One after another, blue flames floated like birds, sometimes forming a sea of fire, sometimes condensing into various flame shapes.

Fizz~~

Almost instantly, Chen Ku could feel that his Seventh Realm Fire Beak Pot incarnation, upon breaking into the Eighth Realm Fire Heaven and Earth, was beginning to melt just from the extreme heat of the Eighth Realm flame environment itself, without even touching the individual blue flames.

Drip!

Drop by drop of liquid started to melt off the Fire Beak Pot’s surface, like a candle near a furnace, melting rapidly!

"Hiss! Those flames emitting blue light must be the strongest flames of the Eighth Realm, yet, even without coming into direct contact with them, the Seventh Realm Fire Beak Pot is about to melt..."

Chen Ku controlled his incarnation to continue dashing downward:

"Absolutely cannot touch the essence of those Eighth Realm flames!"

Initially, Chen Ku had hoped to encounter the Eighth Realm flames, to experience their might and see if he could thereby refine an Eighth Realm Evil Qi, then transform part of the Fire Beak Pot into the Eighth Realm to venture deeper into the Ninth Layer with more confidence.

But just feeling the temperature of the Eighth Realm flame space now, he knew the difference between Eighth Realm flames and Seventh Realm flames was akin to the disparity between an Eighth Realm Marrow Cleansing Cultivator and a Seventh Realm Gang Control Cultivator.

It’s a difference of quality!

"It took me three to four breaths to pass through the Seventh Realm magma space. Given the same distance, if I have three to four breaths more, I can get through the Eighth Realm Green Flame Space into the Ninth Realm..."

Chen Ku dared not hesitate for a second, controlling the Fire Beak Pot to continue further down fifty zhang (approx. 500 yards).

Fifty zhang distance,

If he donned the transformations of Zhang Yulin and the Black Smoke Beast, he could sprint back and forth a hundred times in the blink of an eye. But because he used divine soul object manipulation, and with layers upon layers of Eighth Realm flames ahead like a fiery sea, he moved like a bee threading a needle, trying his utmost to keep the Eighth Realm flames from tainting the Fire Beak Pot.

Even so.

Splash~~

After three breaths, his Fire Beak Pot had already been roasted out of its Fire Beak Pot shape by the ubiquitous high temperatures of the Eighth Realm flames, turning into something like a quickly melting red ice cream, dripping drop by drop of the magical treasure’s origin.

"Fire-Avoiding Orb, activate!"

Chen Ku, in great urgency, felt that there was still a distance of ten zhang ahead, and at this rate of melting, the Seventh Realm Fire Beak Pot incarnation would disintegrate before reaching the Ninth Layer. He immediately activated the Fire-Avoiding Orb that retained only two-thirds of its capacity inside the Fire Beak Pot!

Oof~~

The originally almost-melting Fire Beak Pot, containing the Fire-Avoiding Orb, suddenly exerted its power, with an invisible air shield surrounding the Fire Beak Pot.

Under this layer of fire-avoiding air shield protection.

Five zhang...three zhang...

He could see two zhang ahead, a layer of purple flame, carrying awful heat like it could melt an entire mountain, approaching head-on!

"Not good!"

Chen Ku could visually witness the Fire Beak Pot crossing the last zhang, nearing that Ninth Layer purple flame.

At the same time...

Crack! Crunch!

The Fire-Avoiding Orb, purchased for fifty thousand Martial Destiny, under the enormous Eighth and Ninth Realm high temperature, its surface already showing a dozen cracks, swiftly cracked open like exquisite porcelain, making a chain of delicate crisp sound.

In just an instant, the Fire-Avoiding Orb, capable of resisting Seventh Realm fire for over half an hour, under the high temperature pressure of the Eighth Realm, and nearing the frontline of the Ninth Realm flames...

Buzz!

The Fire-Avoiding Orb inside the Fire Beak Pot turned into a pile of ashes!

Crash!

At the same moment, the Fire Beak Pot incarnation enveloping Chen Ku’s imprint also melted away, becoming a pool of red water.

However,

Just as both the Fire Beak Pot and the Fire-Avoiding Orb were ruined, carrying Chen Ku’s spiritual power and the drop of Fourteen Realm Heavenly King Soul Blood, the imprint penetrated the Ninth Layer fire light, and drilled in.

"I’m in!"

Chen Ku’s spiritual sense rejoiced inside the imprint.

But,

Soon, he swept out his divine sense, and suddenly found that his view was actually pitch black.

"Hmm? Inside this Ninth Layer Fire Beak Pot punishment, why..."

Chen Ku was shocked:

"Is there no Ninth Realm flame?"

He incredulously controlled his own imprint, wandering through the pitch-black inner space of the Fire Beak Mountain.

Pitch darkness.

Like a tomb that had lost the light of life.

"Where is the prohibition?"

But Chen Ku had no mind to dwell on why that was, he just wanted to engrave the imprint onto the control prohibition of the Fire Beak Pot and refine this thousand-meter-high mountain.

"Thousand-meter Divine Sense! Activate!"

He had already broken into the ninth layer of space. Having reached this point, he didn’t care if there would be resistance from the Fire Beak Pot, success or failure depended on this moment.

Crash!!

Chen Ku’s thousand-meter Divine Sense washed over the entire interior and exterior of Fire Beak Mountain like a tide, seeking out the source of the prohibition below.

And just as his Divine Sense swept over with brazen force.

Boom!

Within the originally pitch-black Ninth Layer Flame Heaven and Earth, an abrupt faint purple glow emerged from the darkness.

It was just a speck of light.

Yet it seemed to illuminate a thousand-year dark room with a single lamp.

Immediately, it lit up the prohibition space in the ninth layer of the Fire Beak Pot.

"Is that a prohibition talisman?"

Chen Ku could clearly see from his perspective, it was indeed a purple talisman suspended in midair. Around the talisman, a circle of purple flames swirled, making his spirit feel the power of that flame, akin to a natural enemy.

"Is that the Ninth Realm flame inside the Fire Beak Pot? Is it a purple flame? Why is there only one?"

Compared to the clusters of green flames in the Eighth Realm, the Ninth Realm space contained just one purple flame.

"The talisman within that flame must be the source of control for the entire Fire Beak Mountain’s prohibition!"

At this moment, Chen Ku was left with nothing but an unwavering resolve, pushing forward with no retreat:

"Yield to me, acknowledge your master!"

Controlling the imprint formed by refining the Heavenly King Soul Blood, Chen Ku charged directly at the talisman encased within the purple flame.

Sizzle~~

The moment the imprint made contact with the purple flame, white smoke began to billow out.

"No..."

Chen Ku, seated on the stone platform, suddenly let out a low cry.

Yet,

Just as he was about to utter a cry of misfortune, he suddenly saw in his ’Divine Sense perspective’ that although the imprint formed by the Soul Blood was sizzling as it burned in the purple flame, emitting white smoke.

It was still penetrating the defenses of the purple flame little by little.

"As expected of the Fourteen Realm Soul Blood, even though it’s just a drop, it can withstand the burning of the Ninth Realm flame!"

Chen Ku was overjoyed!

He then watched as his imprint penetrated the purple flame and toward the talisman, transforming into countless blood lines, controlling and merging into it.

"It worked!"

Almost at the very moment his imprint entered the talisman source of the prohibition, Chen Ku sensed that his consciousness was merging into every corner of this thousand-meter volcano.

And from the prohibition came a piece of information, indicating that as long as he willed it, he could pull this thousand-meter-high volcanic mountain, a Fourteen Realm magical treasure of the past, from the earth and transform it into a small teapot.

However,

At this moment.

Suddenly, the Transformation Diagram in Chen Ku’s mind delivered a violent warning:

[A Heavenly Person’s Pupil Thought intends harm to the host, eliminating it can obtain Ninth Realm super-grade Evil Qi]

In an instant, hundreds of thoughts in Chen Ku’s mind became absent-minded.

Ninth Realm super-grade Evil Qi?

What kind of Evil Qi?

It could actually reach a super-grade level?

His Flood Dragon Transformation and Loose Cultivation Transformation were both only top-grade.

Yet, those hundreds of thoughts spun in just an instant...

Sitting cross-legged on the stone platform of the Fire Beak Pot, having already gained control of the entire Fire Beak Pot, Chen Ku instantly felt the source of the malignant intent directed at him, originating below the ninth layer of the Fire Beak Pot...

At the deepest level of the fourteenth layer’s bottom, within a closed cell, more than ten meters in size, lined with layer upon layer of yellow talisman papers sealing it, suspended on all sides. From all four sides, many black chains extended into it.

An enormous eyeball stood in the darkness, about a meter in size, entirely golden yellow, with nine star-like luminous points rotating within the eye.

The moment its eyeball met Chen Ku’s gaze, a voice emanated from there:

"I never thought a useless magical treasure that fell to the ninth realm still had someone willing to spare no effort using the soul blood of a Fourteen Realm Martial Country expert to refine it."

Chen Ku’s Divine Sense observed over.

From high above, he looked down at the gigantic golden eyeball in the cell, raising an eyebrow slightly:

"An eyeball?"

Could it be this thing intends harm to me? 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Killing it can grant super-grade Evil Qi?

It seems to be sealed within the Fire Beak Pot. Recalling the earlier message eavesdropped by the Six-Eared Macaque, combined with the reminder from the Transformation Diagram.

Heavenly Person’s Pupil Thought?

What is this?

The gigantic Nine Star Eye heard Chen Ku’s Divine Sense waves and responded with a cold tone:

"Eyeball? This is the esteemed presence of the Heavenly Immortal Family. This eye is the supremely noble ’Divine Eye’. Mortal short-lived species, having encountered my existence is your fortune. Quickly, offer a drop of the same kind of Soul Blood to release me. I will integrate into you, and from now on, you will possess the noble bloodline of the Heavenly Immortal Family, a life fundamentally different from the short-lived species of the mortal world."

"Oh?"

Chen Ku’s Divine Sense analyzed the other’s words, waiting to hear it wanted another drop of Fourteen Realm Soul Blood to be given to it, offering heavenly bloodline in return.

He couldn’t help but laugh:

"That impressive? How did you end up with just an eyeball, locked away here?"
