Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 515 - 334: Power of the Divine Eye, Evil Qi of the Eleventh Realm
[Shape Shifting Part: Before Taiyuan]
...
Chen Ku looked silently at the result of this shape shifting.
For a moment, he didn’t know whether to be happy or not.
At this moment, he understood that the ability of Before Taiyuan required a huge consumption of his own Primordial Qi, a method of celestial beings similar to the ’Life Loss’ technique.
Sigh~
He let out a gentle breath.
"First, let’s test just how severe the depletion of self Primordial Qi by Before Taiyuan’s Nine Stars is, to set my mind at ease."
Chen Ku took a step forward and entered the Hero King Realm.
He pinched a seal and chanted incantations.
He pulled out a Seventh Realm demon from the Evil Summoning Banner.
Without a doubt, these demons within the Evil Summoning Banner are the best tools to test the ability of Before Taiyuan.
Yoo~~
This was a Seventh Realm Wilderness Deer, its fur resembling a cloak, with two antlers branching like blood-red corals, eyes crimson, with a fierce nature, its antlers adorned with bits of flesh and blood.
Obviously, these came from other demons within the Evil Summoning Banner, killed by its antlers.
It emitted mystical calls from its mouth, sounding ethereal, but paired with its eyes, red as those of a fierce beast, it displayed a highly combative character.
Boom!
The Wilderness Deer moved its four legs, flying into the sky and unleashing gusts of ice storms, causing the heavens to rain snow and ice crystals towards Chen Ku, with fierce intent in its eyes.
Swoosh~~
Wherever the cold wind passed, the plaza in front of the Mountain-Lifting Heavenly King’s Hall, used by Chen Ku as a butchery ground, instantly turned into a vast snowfield, with air filled with ice crystals.
Like a belligerent goat, it charged towards Chen Ku.
Evidently, this ferocious Wilderness Deer intended to first use its freezing demon art to immobilize Chen Ku, then kill him with its antlers.
[A Wilderness Deer intends harm on the master, defeat it to obtain Seventh Realm Evil Qi]
Under the actions of the Wilderness Deer, Chen Ku showed no reaction, not even the thought of evasion, but lamented the anomaly of this demon. Generally, deer are the most docile animals, harmless to others, symbolizing the people. Thus, pursuing deer metaphorically refers to claiming the right of shepherding the populace.
Yet this deer was fiercer than a tiger.
Its antlers hit, piercing through the air.
At the same time, its freezing demon art enveloped Chen Ku.
However,
At this moment, nine stars appeared in Chen Ku’s left eye, quickly rotating, dyeing his left eye golden, in an instant...
His gaze descended, sweeping across, everything seen in his line of sight, including the cold wind, demon beast, even the floor tiles, seemed to be enshrouded by a tyrannical power of laws...
Time seemed to freeze for a moment under this gaze.
In the next instant.
It was like a breeze stirred the earth and sand that had weathered for eons.
Woo~
The swirling snowstorm scattered into a rain of Primordial Qi.
Yoo~~
In the Wilderness Deer’s eyes appeared a fleeting flash of instinctual fear; in the next moment, its vast elephant-like grey-blue body, like the snowstorm, instantly transformed into a cluster of Primordial Qi, dispersing in all directions.
Moreover, everything within the dozen or so square meters in sight, the floor, earth, bricks, all turned into unnoticeable traces of Primordial Qi.
Chen Ku looked at the scene caused by Before Taiyuan in his left eye with slight bewilderment.
It was like a powerful eraser, instantly erasing everything within the dozen or so square meters ahead, all people, things, life, dust, nothing left.
"Though it was easy for me to crush that Seventh Realm Wilderness Deer just now, to erase its body and life from this place with a mere glance, returning it to a Primordial Qi state, soul dissipating... this..."
Chen Ku murmured:
"Even I feel that under the power of this gaze, any living being whose cultivation realm is below the realm of my eye can be absolutely unreasonably exterminated, even experts in the same Ninth Realm would be affected, only the speed of their vaporization would be slower. If there is no method to stop the vaporization, once affected by the power of Before Taiyuan, it would continue to decay all postnatal matter, returning to an innate Primordial Qi state like a bone-chilling disease."
After the murmuring ended.
Suddenly.
A fierce pain emanated from his left eye.
"Ah!"
Chen Ku uttered a painful groan, clutching his eye, suddenly feeling a deep layer pain from his ’life level’, like someone scooped a large spoonful of his life with a spoon, completely losing that part of the life origin.
Simultaneously, blood tears flowed from his left eye.
"The cost?"
Chen Ku immediately removed this Nine Star Divine Left Eye.
Yet,
Immediately, he discovered that even after removing the Nine-Star Divine Left Eye, the gap in his life as if a spoonful had been scooped out still existed. Moreover, his own left pupil seemed to have turned slightly gray.
"This..."
Chen Ku immediately looked inward at his original left eye, shocked to find that the vision in this eye had indeed weakened to some extent.
"Is this the price humans pay for using the Nine-Star Divine Left Eye?"
Previously, he had manifested a ’One-Star Divine Eye’, but it could at most revert fist-sized objects to their primordial state. At that time, there wasn’t such a strong backlash and burden.
In the end, just attempting the Nine-Star Divine Eye once resulted in a small loss of his life, and a decrease in his vision.
"Luckily, I gave it a try. Otherwise, if I had recklessly used it in a great battle, while it might have instantly defeated a strong enemy, the toll it would take on my body afterward would have been unpredictable."
Chen Ku took a deep breath.
Muttering to himself:
"The higher the level of life energy’s operation, the higher the demands on the body?"
From Master Changrong’s memories, he already obtained some related knowledge, knowing that the Eternal Life Families of the Heavenly Realm’s Thirty-Six Layers of Heaven had conducted some experiments in the mortal world, all resulting in failure.
According to Chen Ku’s earthly logic, it was easy to deduce the problem.
It wasn’t a child’s play with a big knife anymore, but rather humans attempting to use nuclear radiation as spiritual energy for cultivation, trying to harness nuclear radiation.
"The bloodline and powers of the Eternal Life Families of the Heavenly Realm are like nuclear radiation to me. The power level is too high. Just using one of the powers of the Left Eye comes at such a cost; each use permanently consumes some life. It’s a Life Burning Technique, yet I wonder... how Hero King Pei Dongliu had the confidence, thinking he could control that Stone Egg body?"
Chen Ku speculated to himself:
"Perhaps it’s because Pei Dongliu’s realm is too high, and these burdens don’t pose any burden to him, whereas my current cultivation is insufficient."
Another thought crossed his mind.
"Or maybe, if I can just control that Stone Egg and obtain the ’Longevity Body’ of the Heavenly Realm, I could control this ’Divine Eye’?"
He took a step forward.
Heading towards the Big Snow Mountain.
He wanted to verify something else.
Quietly, he replaced his left eye with the Divine Left Eye.
Instead of appearing directly at the top of the Big Snow Mountain, he approached it slowly, sensing a potentially safe distance.
Based on Master Changrong’s memories, only the Four Great Royal Families of the Heavenly Realm’s Eternal Life Families had the ability for the Divine Eye to grow from their bloodline. For instance, the Divine Eye of the Changrong Clan was golden.
The Divine Eye of the Tengsheng Clan, which belonged to the Stone Egg’s clan, was silver.
But this Stone Egg, due to a failed gestation, didn’t even come into the world, let alone grow eyes belonging to the Tengsheng Clan.
The current situation was a Longevity Body without a Divine Eye and a Stone Egg with eyes but no Longevity Body.
There would naturally be an attraction between them.
That Left Eye intended to exploit the connection between eyes and the body within the Eternal Life Family, luring Chen Ku here to reside in the Stone Egg.
Therefore, Chen Ku was naturally very wary of the connection between his eye and the Stone Egg.
He feared being accidentally swallowed by the Stone Egg’s instinctive reaction, just like his master and senior brothers.
That Stone Egg was originally Pei Dongliu’s one-third attempt to resurrect himself, leaving countless contingencies within it. If it swallowed him now, wouldn’t it open one eye directly?
Just as Chen Ku was probing bit by bit.
[There is a Longevity Body intending to devour the main body, which is detrimental to the owner. Suppressing and killing it could grant an Eleventh Realm Super-grade Evil Qi.]
Chen Ku’s steps immediately stopped.
His face was grave:
"Indeed, my guess was correct!"
The Transformation Diagram directly alerted him.
When he was still ten li away from the top of the Big Snow Mountain.
Boom!
The next moment, the entire Big Snow Mountain shook violently, the ground undulated like waves.
Within the mountaintop, the Stone Egg emitted intense light, and the internal Cave awakened with the people like Shan Lingguan, all intensely feeling the vast life activity within the giant Stone Egg.
It was a noble bloodline Qi Mechanism that completely surpassed the life essence of everyone there.
"Junior Brother, what’s happening?"
Qin Yuxian shouted toward the Heavenly Dome, knowing that Hero King Realm was within Chen Ku’s brow and could hear their voices at any time:
"We felt a strong ’hunger’ desire from within the Stone Egg, as if it found a missing part of itself, plus the circle outside the Stone Egg expanded dozens of times, covering a range of one li."
Then came Chen Ku’s voice, surprisingly from the foot of the mountain: "Senior Brother, Master, don’t be afraid. I have obtained part of the same power as this Stone Egg. It wants to devour me to complete itself. I am verifying the relationship between this power and it, and now my guess is proven correct, moreover... I’m even more confident in rescuing you all now."
Through his powerful True Qi, Chen Ku sent this message out.
At this moment, he stood at the foot of the mountain, gazing at the giant stone three zhang six chi high at the mountain peak.
Finally, he confirmed the power tier within this massive stone.
The Eleventh Realm Super-grade Evil Qi!
It equaled his great achievement in the Tyrant Body, the Martial Path True Body realm of the Eleventh Realm Martial Practitioner.
No wonder Shangguan Yun said revival from this Stone Egg would directly create an Eleventh Realm existence.
"Only an Eleventh Realm dead thing, possessing just a body with no will or power, and as long as I learned the Forbidden Technique Finger, I could erase all the Hero King’s methods within the Stone Egg. By then, with the Longevity Body of this Stone Egg and this eye, I would be able to manifest a perfect transformation of an Eternal Life Family."
