Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 493 - 319: Executing Yang Xi, Eliminating the Crisis
After sending off his family, the large house was left with only Chen Ku, somewhat cold and lonely.
But in a certain sense, it also meant he no longer had a weak spot. He didn’t have to worry about others targeting his family, allowing him to freely pursue his tasks, grow, and kill some people. Even if he were wanted, it would only be his own wandering and escape.
"Transform the Erlang Transformation and Champion Marquis fetus transformation refining shape..."
"Transform the Four Unlikes and Six-Eared Macaque fetus transformation refining shape..."
Chen Ku made these two decisions.
This move was not to make Erlang disappear. On the contrary, all his incarnations possess their own wisdom and some thoughts. After re-fusing, the thoughts and wisdom will not change, still inheriting his own will, only some external appearances changed.
The purpose of doing this is to save the slots on the Transformation Diagram.
Now, with nine Transformation Diagrams, Chen Ku hopes to load on transformations that are at least no lower than the Sixth Realm.
Only then can its enhancement effect be maximized.
Imagine.
If he cultivates to the Seventh Realm level, after unlocking the seventh incantation of the Evil Summoning Banner, he can change all transformations on his body to Seventh Realm level.
At that time, nine Transformation Diagrams, nine incarnations at least at the Seventh Realm enhanced by them, could indeed possess the strength of ’one fighting ten’ at the Seventh Realm level.
In Qiu Dragon Mansion, there are no more than ten Seventh Realm experts even if counted fully.
Then, Chen Ku alone can press everyone in Qiu Dragon Mansion onto the ground, making them all fall to their knees, unafraid of surrounding attacks.
[Currently in fetus transformation refining shape... Expect results after three days and nights. This fetus transformation refining shape uses Champion Marquis Transformation and Erlang Transformation as the refining shape. A Seventh Realm Evil Qi is injected as the embryo with a thirty percent chance to refine a ’Supreme Quality’ transformation.] 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
[Currently in fetus transformation refining shape... Expect results after two days and nights. This fetus transformation refining shape uses Six-Eared Macaque Transformation and Four Unlikes refining shape, with a Sixth Realm Evil Qi injected as the embryo, having a twenty-five percent chance to refine a ’Supreme Quality’ transformation.]
Looking at the time needed for successful refining shape provided by the Transformation Diagram, Chen Ku exhaled lightly.
One needs three days, and the other needs two days. The time is not long, but the probability of squeezing out a Supreme Quality transformation feels low.
But he wasn’t overly disappointed.
The main purpose of this refining shape fusion is to upgrade the old transformations, and to free up slots on the Transformation Diagram.
"There is also a Flood Dragon Transformation, which has too many abilities fused onto it, including snot, fine as mustard seed, Flood Dragon Talented... It would be best to directly upgrade the flood dragon to a higher level dragon so that my Flood Dragon Talented can rise to better qualifications."
Chen Ku’s eyes introspected, looking towards the pool in the medicinal garden within the Hero King Realm where the Eight-tailed Dragon Fish was:
"Cultivating Dragon Transformation needs Dragon Energy. The Eight-tailed Dragon Fish in this pool is an Eighth Realm demon monster, and even Master Shan Lingguan had to avoid its edge at the time. It grew by absorbing the Dragon Qi of the Nation’s Fortune in the Imperial Garden of the Great Hong Dynasty capital. If it’s slaughtered, I can gain a ’Eighth Realm Dragon Qi of the Nation’s Fortune.’ Moreover... the royal heir Yang Xi from the Daji Dynasty appears to not have inherited any titles yet. Last time, the Transformation Diagram mentioned him trying to attack me, but there was no mention of Dragon Qi of the Nation’s Fortune..."
As Chen Ku was considering these things.
A day later.
The Loose Cultivation Transformation descended from the sky and returned before Chen Ku, offering the Ninth Realm Fire Beak Pot at Chen Ku’s feet, saying:
"Yang Xi has been imprisoned inside the pot. I’m pleased to report mission success, and the respected self may check."
"Good timing. Whether there is Dragon Qi of the Nation’s Fortune on him, a personal kill will reveal it."
Chen Ku nodded, transformed the loose cultivator into a white qi, absorbed it into his mind, and first began examining the loose cultivator’s memories.
From possessing the Marquis of Han Shou’s Mansion’s troops, to tailing Yang Xi, until reaching the regions outside Qiu Dragon Mansion, only then was this Ninth Realm Fire Beak Pot magical treasure used to capture Yang Xi into it.
Having Chen Ku’s wisdom and thoughts, the loose cultivator acted very cautiously, knowing Yang Xi’s identity was complex, refraining from acting within Qiu Dragon Mansion’s jurisdiction.
At this moment, Chen Ku stood in the courtyard, lightly opened the lid of the Fire Beak Pot.
Inside the lid, it seemed as deep as a thousand meters, just like the environment within Fire Beak Mountain, with volcanic lava and stone walls. Yang Xi, missing an arm, was seated in the same spot Chen Ku had previously meditated and refined Fire Evil Qi.
Since being absorbed into this Fire Beak Pot, a day’s time had passed. Yang Xi was well aware that this was a tremendously powerful magical treasure. Even though injured, as a genius strong enough to enter the ’Three Great Limits’ field, his Bright Moon Force Field could twist any attack directed at him, yet he was effortlessly captured into this treasure.
This sufficiently illustrates that the prohibition inside this treasure had reached what the Qi Cultivators term the ’Immortal Treasure’ level; otherwise, it would be hard to possess such potency.
This is distinct from the ’Immortal Weapon’ within the Martial Practitioners’ arsenal.
The higher-level ’Immortal Treasure’ cultivated by Qi Cultivators has diverse functions; sometimes, holding or capturing someone is just a basic prohibition. Being able to refine those captured within is the most terrifying prohibition.
Throughout this one day, Yang Xi had been watching the lava below, able to sense the fearsome temperature and flames beneath the lava, clearly understanding that if the owner of this treasure can control everything inside the treasure, then simply releasing the fearsome true fire beneath the lava to burn him, filling up the Fire Beak Pot, he would surely perish.
One wonders whether the reason he wasn’t killed on the spot was because he could be of use to the owner of this treasure?
Until that moment, when the lid above opened, revealing a youthful and handsome face, gazing down from outside the pot, like a creator looking at a cricket in his jug.
"Chen Ku! Is it really you!"
Although Yang Xi had indeed sensed the similarity in the divine soul’s aura emanating from the loose cultivator and the technique Chen Ku used against him that night, he couldn’t believe Chen Ku had an Immortal Treasure.
This was far superior to the Champion Marquis’s Immortal Weapon and his own Moon Repairing Axe. With a thought, it could capture enemies whose realm was beneath the treasure.
This left him puzzled why, if it was really Chen Ku, he hadn’t used this treasure during their exchange in Snake Fish Town.
From his experience of being captured effortlessly, had he been wielding the Moon Repairing Axe, it likely wouldn’t have resisted this capturing force.
At this moment, when Yang Xi saw Chen Ku’s face appearing there, he vaguely understood something, and stood with hands behind his back on the steps:
"It’s really you. You possess such an Immortal Treasure, but didn’t use it that night. I guess you were afraid others would covet it."
He was still analyzing Chen Ku’s thoughts at this time.
Even being collected into the Fire Beak Pot, there was a kind of godlike confidence, he slowly spoke:
"Are you afraid that, as a Martial Arts Scholar of Ji Country, practicing the court-prohibited techniques would make you unacceptable to the Imperial Court? This is also why you’ve imprisoned me here and dared not kill me."
He felt that Chen Ku, being a Ji Dynasty person, although possessing some martial arts, should naturally have fear of the court.
With hands behind his back, he squinted his eyes and said:
"What do you plan to do with me? Since you dare not kill me, are you planning to keep me here forever? Don’t you know that I am a Princely Heir, and once I disappear, the capital will be in an uproar? You, being the one who severed my arm not long ago, are most suspect. In just a few days, the ’Divine Clothes Guard’ from the capital will come to Qiu Dragon Mansion to investigate you personally."
Chen Ku, overlooking from above, looked at the ant-like Yang Xi under the Fire Beak Pot, and simply revealed a smile at his words.
Seemingly mysterious.
Yang Xi, for some reason, felt Chen Ku’s smile was dangerous, as if it were undermining his confidence. Immediately, he shouted deeply:
"Chen Ku, you only rely on your powerful treasure. That day when you severed my arm, it was due to carelessness. Do you dare come down and fight me without weapons in a real contest?"
Although Chen Ku had already opened the pot lid, Yang Xi felt a layer of sealing still remained on the pot mouth, making it hard for him to escape. At this moment... an inexplicable sense of crisis appeared, prompting him to instinctively want a showdown with Chen Ku. If Chen Ku were still a hero, they would settle it here, and he had other means he hadn’t had a chance to use last time.
[Yang Xi challenges the host, intending to be harmful to the host...]
The Transformation Diagram’s reminder appeared again.
Actually, the reminder had appeared once that night, but Chen Ku didn’t plan to kill this royal heir with his own hands under everyone’s watch.
"You want to challenge me again?" Chen Ku’s voice echoed down from the Fire Beak Pot.
"Do you dare?" Yang Xi’s eyes were grim, saying, "Don’t think that losing an arm makes me truly not your opponent. Even now, being locked up here and missing an arm, I am still a powerful person beyond the Three Great Limits, still have the chance to defeat you."
"Since you request so." A white light appeared on Chen Ku’s brow, transforming into figures, coming toward the Fire Beak Pot: "Then as you wish."
Suddenly, four figures flew out from his brow, none other than Kong Xin, Loose Cultivator, Zhang Yulin, and Cheng Qingshan, all Seventh Realm masters. Loose Cultivator and Kong Xin were transformations created by fetus transformation refining shape, one being at the peak of Seventh Realm Golden Core, the other at the peak of Seventh Realm Possession, both possessing special abilities.
The four incarnations instantly lunged at Yang Xi inside the Fire Beak Pot.
"What... what is this Divine Skill?"
Seeing the four figures flying out from Chen Ku’s brow, especially Kong Xin with a human head, bird body, and peacock tail, Yang Xi was utterly shocked. Each figure carried Chen Ku’s aura, attacking simultaneously, with Loose Cultivator forming a Big Handprint, Kong Xin wielding the Treasure Tripod, Zhang Yulin’s phantom moving like lightning, and Cheng Qingshan cleaving with an axe.
Four Seventh Realm masters simultaneously besieging Yang Xi alone.
If it were his full strength with the Moon Repairing Axe, he might still be able to fight.
But at this moment...
He felt a sense of despair.
Not only because of losing an arm, being injured affecting his combat power but also...
Facing the attack from four individuals, though he immediately unleashed the Bright Moon Force Field, twisting the attacks of three of them, even bouncing off Kong Xin’s Treasure Tripod, it...
Could not twist the soul attack from the Loose Cultivator.
"Ah!" hit by a Soul Big Handprint, Yang Xi roared explosively: "Chen Ku, do you really dare to kill me? Do you dare to kill me? Aren’t you afraid that after killing me, you’ll be hunted down by everyone in the world?"
"You don’t need to worry about that. I’ll naturally clear my suspicion."
From outside the Fire Beak Pot, Chen Ku spoke, and as the four incarnations attacked simultaneously, seven Divine Auras appeared behind him, forming a small bow and arrow, striking at Yang Xi.
This was an attack aimed at the soul.
Whoosh!
Striking Yang Xi, causing heavy damage.
Undeniably, this royal heir’s strength was quite formidable. Even with Chen Ku and four incarnations teaming up, they couldn’t kill him in an instant; moreover, Yang Xi used several special martial arts, expanding Chen Ku’s knowledge.
Nonetheless, inside the Fire Beak Pot, with Chen Ku and four incarnations attacking simultaneously, little doubt remained—Yang Xi was doomed.
He simply didn’t want to waste the Fire Beak Pot’s flames, as these flames were currently non-renewable resources, sparingly used as Evil Qi reserves.
Ultimately, Yang Xi was left with his last breath.
"Ah! Chen Ku! You dare kill royal descendants; you will not be tolerated by Ji Dynasty under the heavens!" He cursed weakly as his last.
Whoosh!
Chen Ku slapped from the Fire Beak Pot mouth directly, turning Yang Xi into a puddle of flesh, executing the highly noble Princely Heir.
Fitting his usual approach, eradicating all crises, leaving no chance for any enemy to rise again.
