Chapter 853 Body Refinement Breakthrough, Taiyin Demon Mountain

"It's actually Yin Cold Qi!"

The old demon Qingyang was very knowledgeable and spoke to Qin Ming.

"No wonder even Qin's physical body couldn't withstand this extremely cold power."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming asked, "Could it be that you, Old Ghost, recognize what's hidden down there?"

The Old Demon Qingyang laughed, "Hehe! A place capable of giving birth to such a level of extremely yin and cold power is either a highly ominous place that suppresses ferocious beasts, or it can only be a blessed land that gives birth to spiritual treasures of heaven and earth."

"However, this Yin power is extremely domineering. The deeper you go, the colder it becomes. It can even freeze the souls of cultivators above the Refinement stage."

As Qin Ming projected his divine sense, he could indeed detect a faint trace of extremely Yin energy eroding his divine sense, thus preventing him from exploring further.

He had no choice but to give up exploring further, and instead had the Sky-Eating Rat dig around every now and then, hoping to find something.

With the Xuan Shui Crocodile overseeing and controlling the overall situation at the Lei Ze Water Mansion outside, Qin Ming felt extremely at ease.

Therefore, he returned to the Little Spirit Realm to refine the harvested Taijin ore and attempt to break through to the Body Refinement Realm.

Within Xiaoling territory.

Qin Ming summoned the Primordial Poison Flame once again. The moment the flame flew out, it transformed into a woman in golden robes and stepped out.

Following his instructions, they then began to purify the Taijin ore using seventh-order Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire.

It is extremely easy for the seventh-order Primordial Poison Flame to melt these extremely hard ores.

Qin Ming spent only half a day using a secret method to purify an entire bottle of Taijin Xuanjing.

This was the result of mobilizing numerous forces throughout the entire Thunder Swamp Water Mansion to jointly mine and extract spirit ore.

It is easy to imagine how rare this substance is.

To Qin Ming's great surprise, the three saints of Bull Demon Mountain contributed the most Taijin Stones, which meant that the opportunities Qin Ming had given them were not in vain.

Qin Ming looked at the Taijin Xuanjing floating quietly in front of him, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

After planning for so long, the goal has finally been achieved.

He immediately seized the opportunity, forming a hand seal and beginning to circulate the "True Power Technique of Demons and Monsters." Terrifying phantom images of Dharma forms constantly appeared and disappeared behind him.

The Heavenly Demon Qi and the True Demon Qi, two kinds of primordial energy of heaven and earth that only the holy ancestors of the ancient demon realm and the ancient demon realm could control, began to surge out simultaneously within Qin Ming's body.

The demonic infant's primordial spirit gave a strange smile, formed a hand seal, and flew out from the lotus platform in the central palace, hovering three inches above Qin Ming's head.

The momentum began to rise steadily.

In an instant, dark clouds rolled throughout the entire Little Spirit Realm, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Even Little Silver Fox and Tian Ling'er were deeply worried when they saw it.

As Qin Ming's demonic infant spirit formed a strange magic seal, the Taijin Xuanjing floating in front of him immediately transformed into strands of golden tassels, continuously entering his body.

boom! !

Qin Ming felt his entire body surge with energy, becoming incredibly hot and possessing a destructive power.

Time passed bit by bit.

After completely refining this Taijin Xuan Essence, his physical strength reached an unprecedented peak. Naturally formed Dao patterns condensed on his skin and disappeared into his body.

When all the Dao patterns on the body were completed.

Suddenly.

Qin Ming's physical strength began to surge at an exponential rate, and terrifyingly destructive power surged within his body.

The physical body resonates with heaven and earth, a profound state that transcends the realm of physical sanctification.

It is a power that deeply governs its own universe, a crucial step towards 'proving the Way through power'.

The numerous illusory images of Dharma forms behind him also froze for a moment, then all dissipated and disappeared.

However, the number of black treasure wheels increased to eight.

This means that Qin Ming's "True Power Technique of Demons and Monsters" has broken through to the eighth level at this moment!
He also took the lead in body refinement, advancing to the late stage of the Void Refinement realm thanks to a great opportunity in the Ancient Demon Realm.

This is the legendary state of 'physical enlightenment'.

Even in the Spirit Realm, where countless races coexist, cultivators of all races whose physical strength can reach this level are extremely rare.

Aside from some true spirits who possess exceptional bloodline talents in terms of physical strength, such as the Kunpeng and Xuanwu, who are born with physical strength that surpasses the ordinary.

Other races must rely on step-by-step cultivation, and only with exceptional talent can they possibly reach the Profound Realm.

At this point, Qin Ming's physical body, blood, meridians, and bones were all remodeled by the power of the universe.

The moment when the body's power is activated.

Various innate Dao marks appeared all over his body, faintly emerging within him.

The "mystery" in "Tongxuan" means directly connecting to the Great Dao, which means directly connecting to the laws of heaven and earth.

This means that cultivators refine their physical bodies to an extremely profound state, achieving a state of harmony with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

By touching upon the fundamental laws of heaven and earth, one can develop numerous supernatural powers through the physical body without needing to cast many spells.

It should be understood that the cultivation at the Refining Emptiness stage is nothing more than the etherealization of the primordial spirit and the comprehension of the Great Dao.

According to what Qingyang the Old Demon usually told Qin Ming.

To control a certain law of heaven and earth, one must be at least at the Mahayana stage; even the Integration stage cannot do it.

Being able to comprehend the power of laws and develop some kind of supernatural ability is already an extremely impressive feat.

After entering the Profound Realm, the physical body becomes supernatural power, the bloodline can generate all kinds of laws, and space can be torn apart with bare hands.

With a single punch, the ultimate physical strength is unleashed, capable of dismantling the opponent's supernatural powers and treasures.

In addition, the ultimate perception derived from the physical body allows one to clearly sense the enemy's intentions.

And it ignores most of the spatial obstacles.

Qin Ming resembled a demon god, with innate Dao patterns appearing on his body, flickering erratically.

The instant his demonic infant spirit stepped into the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

In the darkness, a vast force of calamity formed in the heavens, firmly locking onto Qin Ming within the Lesser Spirit Realm.

There was a sense that something should be completely destroyed, something that shouldn't exist.

Qin Ming had just broken through his cultivation level and hadn't even had time to be happy when he felt a chill run down his spine.

"The Tribulation of Refining Void!"

Unexpectedly, his breakthrough to the late stage of body refinement brought him a tribulation at the minor stage of Void Refinement.

This was somewhat unexpected for him.

Qin Ming's tribulations have always been dozens of times greater than those of other cultivators of the same level, which can be described as a physique that is envied by the heavens, and he must be ruthlessly destroyed.

The Lesser Spirit Realm is a self-contained world, capable of withstanding the tribulations of heavenly tribulations and will not be easily destroyed.

However, the spiritual plants he had painstakingly cultivated were extremely delicate, and it would be a great loss if they were destroyed by the aftershocks of the heavenly tribulation.

Thinking of this.

With a thought, Qin Ming left the Small Spirit Realm.

His figure then appeared inside the mine of Bull Demon Mountain.

In an instant. Rumble!
Within the territory of Leize Water Mansion, above the sky above Niu Mo Mountain.

A terrifying black cloud of calamity gathered for thousands of miles, a sign of impending doom.
Terrifying black lightning and fire intertwined, transforming into dragons that truly darted and swam through the dark clouds, brewing some great terror.

The demons who were mining inside Bull Demon Mountain, along with the three pig demons, all looked up in astonishment.

"This is this"

"The power of heavenly tribulation... Could it be that someone within our Bull Demon Mountain has broken through to a higher realm?"

"But this level of tribulation completely surpasses our understanding. It's even above the Void Refinement Tribulation."

"The spiritual veins within Bull Demon Mountain are insufficient to support cultivators above the sixth rank in their breakthroughs, so why would they trigger such a celestial phenomenon?"

"Could it be"

"Fellow Daoist White Ape, he..."

For a while.

Countless thoughts flashed through the minds of the three demons. After much deliberation, they concluded that he was the only one capable of causing such a terrifying celestial phenomenon in this place.

But then.

The terrifying divine power emanating from the heavens terrified the three demons, almost causing them to lose their composure.

With such a powerful heavenly tribulation descending, even the slightest trace of its aftershock would be enough to annihilate them, body and soul.

So they all used their supernatural abilities to hide.

Just a few breaths later.

The black lightning and fire tribulation, powerful enough to destroy everything, transformed into dragons and descended, striking Qin Ming directly.

Qin Ming broke through the Profound Realm of Physical Body, and his strength underwent a tremendous leap. At this time, he was not too afraid of the Heavenly Tribulation of Refining Void.

Instead, it aroused the desire to test physical strength.

Furthermore, he took out the illusory divine seed of the Nine Transformations Tribulation Pill from within his Purple Mansion Primordial Spirit and began to further absorb the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, allowing it to undergo further transformation.

When the tribulation of thunder and fire struck Qin Ming, an aura of the Great Dao emanated from his body, and in an instant, he absorbed the power of the tribulation into his body.

It had no effect on him whatsoever, as if he were part of the heavenly tribulation.

Boom Kaka!
Terrifying heavenly tribulations descended one after another, and the majestic heavenly might emanated from the nine heavens, attracting the attention of all the nearby cultivators who witnessed this scene.

Many voices expressed surprise and uncertainty:
What happened on Bull Demon Mountain?

"How could such a terrifying calamity have occurred? Could it be that a great demon has been born?"

"I don't think so. It's also possible that a heaven-defying treasure has appeared in the world, which would also cause strange phenomena in the heavens and earth."

"After all, the three demons on Bull Demon Mountain are only at the early stage of the fifth level at most. How could they possibly cause such a tribulation phenomenon?"

"That must be it! Fellow Daoist is absolutely right!"

In a short while, news of the astonishing phenomenon that appeared on Mount Niumo quickly spread to the surrounding areas and even reached the other three major water palaces.

Amidst an already turbulent situation, a massive wave has been unleashed.

The Xuan Shui Crocodile, with its towering body, sat in the main hall of the Lei Ze Water Mansion, its calm gaze fixed on Qin Ming's location, a thoughtful expression on its face.

……

Inside the mine, the Sky-Eating Rat was enduring the corrosive power of the extreme Yin as it struggled to dig its way through.

They were truly startled by the sudden heavenly tribulation.

"Master has broken through another realm."

"Such a heavenly tribulation is truly terrifying; they didn't even warn me beforehand."

Just as it was about to stop what it was doing, it saw that the rock wall in front of it was rapidly cracking under the influence of the heavenly tribulation.

Soon, countless cracks spread rapidly into the ground.

Click click click.
The strange rock strata that were originally difficult to excavate, and the power of the moon that was originally too strong to be disturbed, were scattered by the heavenly tribulation, and a faint light of treasure began to emerge from the cracks.
The Devouring Rat's little face showed disbelief as it stood there dumbfounded. "This...this smells like a heaven-defying treasure!"

"Beneath Mount Bull Demon, there is indeed a vast world to be discovered!"

……

After half a day had passed.

All the tribulation lightning bolts fell from the sky, but Qin Ming, with his profound physical cultivation, easily withstood them all.

The tribulation of refining the void, which originally required the treasure of the Five Extreme Mountains to withstand, could now be resisted by Qin Ming's physical body.

It's no exaggeration to say that even a sixth-order perfect demon race with extremely high bloodline wouldn't be able to do what Qin Ming did.

It can be said that Qin Ming has now reached the limit that can be achieved below the Integration Stage in the path of body refinement.

If the eight black treasure wheels on its back are completely consumed, it can transform into a true spirit Kunpeng and unleash the full power of the Kunpeng Transformation, comparable to a full-force attack from a Fusion Stage cultivator.

When the Linglong Immortal Mansion was destroyed, Xiaoqing transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-tall whale-like body and smashed into two powerful old monsters of the Demon and Monster races who had reached the Integration Stage, which is enough to demonstrate the power of the Kunpeng incarnation.

Qin Ming was in high spirits after successfully breaking through his cultivation level!

"In this way, we have taken another step closer to the Integration Stage, and the Great Dao is within reach."

He also began to look forward to what it would be like when he reached the state of 'physical body in harmony with the Dao'.
The calamity clouds in the sky dispersed, auspicious clouds appeared, and nine-colored rays of light illuminated the vast expanse.

Qin Ming's hands wielded immense power; with a mere grasp of his five fingers, he could distort space, exuding powerful confidence in every gesture.

at this time.

His thoughts stirred, and then he heard the voice of the Sky-Devouring Rat below:
"Master, come and take a look."

"There really are some great treasures hidden beneath this Bull Demon Mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming immediately took a step into the air, his figure disappearing completely, and instantly appeared in front of the Devouring Sky Rat.

No sooner had the Devouring Rat finished speaking than Qin Ming appeared out of nowhere in front of him. The rat immediately smiled, cupped its hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "Congratulations, Master, on your breakthrough in cultivation! You have made further progress on the path to immortality, and the Great Dao of Integration is just around the corner!"

It could sense that its master's strength, after this breakthrough, was beyond even its comprehension.

Qin Ming nodded, and he briefly sensed the Yin energy of this place again.

As soon as the invisible, extremely cold energy came into contact with Qin Ming's body, it was absorbed by him and posed no threat to him whatsoever.

This was very different from the situation when he first entered the area.

It also symbolizes a significant change in his strength.

Following the direction pointed out by the Devouring Rat, Qin Ming looked into the crack and discovered that there was a hidden world beneath the huge mountain range!
A towering iceberg, nestled beneath the Bull Demon Mountain, refracted a rainbow of colors.

Just as the Devouring Rat said, this iceberg was emanating the aura of a heaven-defying treasure.

"Hiss~ It's actually a demonic mountain formed entirely from the power of Yin! Young friend Qin! What kind of luck do you have?"

Upon seeing the scene before him, the Old Demon Qingyang immediately let out a sound of extreme amazement.

Even in the spirit world, things that catch his eye are extremely rare.

Beneath this Taiyin Demon Mountain, a bull demon thousands of feet in size was suppressed and frozen, its corpse surrounded by countless enormous demon remains.
At first glance, this place is clearly the remnant of a large battlefield from the ancient times of the demon realm.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Qin Ming, on the other hand, stared intently at the towering iceberg, already plotting how to get his hands on it.
