Chapter 179, Section 178: [Cultivating the Thunder Emperor and Lightning Yang God]

Boom!

Dense lightning illuminated the sky and earth in a ghastly white light.

In the cold, torrential rain, Chen Sheng used the [Staff Transfer] technique from the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends Arts, constantly changing the object of his transfer within the falling raindrops, allowing his consciousness to rapidly approach Ying Zheng's carriage.

[Spiritual Staff]: Allows you to entrust your consciousness to inanimate matter, control the matter to cast spells remotely, and prevents self-harm from being harmed if the matter is damaged.

Chen Sheng repeated the Taoist incantation six times in the rain, and his consciousness arrived on the roof of the chariot, merging into a curtain of rain that was flowing rapidly.

Looking down from here, you can see floating ceramic soldiers guarding the chariot, their disciplined bearing and formidable strength evident.

Each eye is equipped with a Lava Dragon's ray-like body, possessing attack power between the third and fourth tiers, while their bulky ceramic armor grants them the defensive capabilities of the third tier limit.

However, such a powerful puppet army could only be used as a ceremonial force for Ying Zheng's clone.

Meanwhile, on the golden bronze chariot frame in the center, little Fusu was lying on the seat that should have been occupied by the driver, his two cute little feet swinging happily as he watched the battle below with a bored expression.

"At twelve years old, she's only at the third level of strength. It seems Ying Zheng didn't use any methods to force her to grow faster."

Fusu's cultivation level pleased Chen Sheng, as it meant that obtaining the Black Dragon bloodline would be easier for him.

call!
Just then, a strong gust of wind blew in.

Chen Sheng's consciousness then naturally attached itself to the wind, transforming it into his own body.

He split the wind into two streams. One stream followed Fusu's breath and entered his lungs, circling in the bright red alveoli before being exhaled with a small number of cells.

A gust of wind swept across Fusu's fair face, her soft hair blowing into her collar, carrying her body heat as it emerged from her wide skirt.

Throughout the entire process, Fusu remained oblivious, completely unaware that a significant amount of her cells and skin cells had been harvested.

After succeeding this time, Chen Sheng's will carried his spoils in the wind, sheltering them from the rain, and they drifted away into the distance.

After traversing dozens of miles at high speed, leaving the rain circle and braving the flying sand and stones, we arrived in front of a figure standing silently in the sandstorm.

Gum!

Chen Sheng swallowed Fusu's cells and skin flakes, feeling the Black Dragon bloodline rapidly multiplying within his body, but there was no joy in his eyes.

He was only stealing a little from Ying Zheng; there was nothing to be proud of. He was still thinking about Ying Zheng's demonic cultivation.

"How could there be a Heavenly Demon in this world?"

Chen Sheng's understanding of the Heavenly Demon came entirely from the memories of the evil spirits on the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

These evil spirits, having traveled through the void with Fu Fengzi, had seen and learned a great deal. They knew that the Heavenly Demons, beings born of the Way of Destruction, were like pests on the Jambudvipa tree. They liked to use all means to invade and destroy the Jambudvipa fruit, causing the fruit of destruction to fall to the bottom of the Jambudvipa tree and rot, in order to seek the blessing of the Great Way of Destruction. This was the greatest calamity for all fruits and beings.

The Heavenly Demons are far more terrifying than ordinary fruit invaders. While others may only seek to control the fruits, these demons aim to destroy the world.

This terrifying quality is not only reflected in their ability to invade the world, but also in their combat power, which is a level above that of cultivators of the same level.

Through the spirits placed within Zhang Liang's three women, Chen Sheng was able to clearly perceive the entire process of their battle with Ying Zheng.

To be honest, he felt that the three women were no match for this demonic clone.

Besides Ying Zheng, Chen Sheng also had a question in his mind: the Heavenly Demons were a large race, and they might not have sent only one person when they were conquering the fruits.

Are there other celestial demons inside the fruit?
Are there any allies waiting besides the fruit?
These events, like a fog, shrouded Chen Sheng.

Just as he was about to adjust his plans and go back to reconsider, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

"Huh? That's not right, it seems like my Taoist arts are about to break through."

……

The main world, a vast sea in the center of the four continents of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Endless lightning bolts were striking down from the sky, turning the sea, spanning hundreds of miles, into a churning mass of thunderous lava.

All the seawater that came into contact with the lightning was vaporized into scorching steam, and more seawater came from all directions to fill the pit, following in the footsteps of its predecessors, thus maintaining a pit a mile deep.

With the power of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Xiao Zhen (a small array of stars in the heavens) to wield shallow authority over a realm, creating such a grand spectacle would not be difficult.

In the very center of the sea of ​​thunder, Chen Sheng's true form, the Yin spirit, had transformed into a majestic giant hundreds of feet tall.

He stood with his arms outstretched, various colors of lightning coursing around him, moving in and out along the lightning patterns engraved within his Yin God, constantly feeding a five-hole lightning furnace in his chest.

Feeling the complex changes in the nature of the spiritual energy within the Thunder Furnace, Chen Sheng thought to himself.

"Jade Morning Thunder, Purple Mansion Thunder, Taiyi Thunder, Divine Firmament Thunder, Arctic Thunder... Based on the five elements of thunder and lightning, I have mastered all 360 common attribute changes that the Thunder Dao evolves into at the fourth level."

"Since my clone is encountering trouble with other fruits, let's use this opportunity to break through."

With a thought, Chen Sheng stopped supplying energy to this place from the Zhou Tian Star Array that had enveloped the entire world, allowing the thunder that had filled the heavens and earth to dissipate and return to the appearance of a blue sea and sky.

The depression in the seawater beneath our feet was immediately filled back in, and the waves surging from all directions crashed against the shore, creating towering waves.

In the process of breaking through from the fourth to the fifth stage of spiritual cultivation, what is lacking is no longer the total amount of special spiritual energy, but rather the understanding of heaven and earth and nature.

Chen Sheng created a sea of ​​thunder not for his own absorption, but for enlightenment.

He gently tapped his chest, and the Thunder Furnace inside his body spun out and hovered in front of him.

Then, by flicking his finger and continuing to tap on it, the various colored lightning bolts inside the furnace were actively ejected, leaving it empty.

Then it opened its mouth and spat out a bolt of lightning, which traveled around the furnace and carved three hundred and sixty ancient inscriptions on the furnace body.

These inscriptions are the result of the main body's years of comprehension in the main world, and one of the necessary conditions for [Thunder Emperor Lightning Yang God] to reach the fifth rank.

"The difficulty of cultivation can only be truly understood by experiencing it firsthand."

Even with the assistance of the [Zhou Tian Xing Dou Small Array], which allows me to generate various types of lightning and comprehend them at any time, it still took me three years to fully master a Daoist technique.

For ordinary practitioners, just finding all 360 types of lightning would take an immense amount of effort.

With a lifespan of one thousand years for a fourth-tier cultivator, even if they devoted their entire life to traveling and comprehending, they would probably still waste their life.

This is only the time it takes to master just one Heavenly Gang Dao technique.

To master the three Heavenly Gang Techniques and achieve Yang God status, one would need either extraordinary talent or someone with cheat codes.

Chen Sheng sighed inwardly and released two more objects from his Yin spirit.

One of them was a pair of clear black and white eyes.

The Taoist technique [Insight Through Walls] grants profound insight; wherever the gaze falls, it is as if a god has descended, as if heaven sees and earth hears. Similarly, with the aid of the power of the formation, Chen Sheng comprehended the mysteries of light and has also perfected this technique.

Now, with the help of this technique, his eyes can see the tiny particles that make up matter at the microscopic level, and can penetrate the membrane of the world at the macroscopic level to see the appearance of other fruits and branches of Jambudvipa outside the world.

The other item was an object that resembled a simple paper-cut figure.

The Taoist technique [Size As You Wish] primarily amplifies one's positive attributes.

The essence of the so-called amplification is nothing more than increasing the total amount of Qi in a person's body and the output power of Qi. With the help of the array that controls the power of a realm, he also thoroughly understood this power.

These three objects are floating together, each a symbol formed by the imprint and transformation after a certain Taoist technique has been perfected.

"The day is the day to condense the Yang Spirit."

As Chen Sheng murmured softly, his Yin spirit immediately transformed into a stream of air, actively filling the gaps between the three objects.

At this moment, these inanimate objects seemed to be endowed with vigorous vitality.

The black and white pupils transformed into a pair of real eyes;

The simple paper-cut figure swelled up and became a real body;

The five-hole thunder furnace replaced the five internal organs of the human body;

A blessing from the heavens descended upon him, and three completely different forces merged together seamlessly.

The Yin spirit was originally formed from primordial Qi, but with these organ-like objects, it now appears like a physical body, as if it has come to life.

Under the corresponding combination of Taoist organs, the Yin spirit, originally formed from primordial Qi, is refined to transform into a Yang spirit by refining the last bit of Yin residue.

The first to fourth stages of sexual cultivation are a process of purifying the Yin spirit, while the transformation of the Yang spirit from the fourth to the fifth stage is a qualitative change that is accumulated from quantitative changes.

It is a stage from human to immortal.

Since the beginning of his transformation, Chen Sheng's entire body has been radiating dazzling thunderous light, which directly illuminates the surrounding sea area for thousands of miles.

A powerful force filled his mind and body, and wherever his gaze fell, his will would follow.

Even the four continents of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, which are thousands of miles away, can be reached instantly. As if looking down from the heavens, no one can escape his gaze.

The vast world of this realm seemed to hold no secrets from him.

The thunder furnace in his chest cavity was creating all kinds of thunder out of thin air. After the amplification of his body, Chen Sheng felt as if he were the Thunder Emperor, punishing the world and no one could escape his wrath.

I could easily crush my past self.

This wasn't the fake fifth-tier power of a Golden Arhat; the extraordinary sense of power made the vast world of the main universe feel somewhat restrictive to him at this moment.

Chen Sheng also clearly sensed his lifespan. His physical body had only lived for a mere ten years, but his remaining lifespan had skyrocketed to thirty thousand years.

The ability to observe the rise and fall of a civilization is what a true immortal should possess.

As for the Zhou Tian Star Array, which he relied on to rule the world, he used to feel a bit awkward when using it because of his low cultivation level, but now he can use it freely.

"This is absolutely brilliant! I can't wait to test my skills against Ying Zheng."

……

Taoist arts are a kind of knowledge summarized by our ancestors through their understanding of the rules and phenomena of heaven and earth.

Since it is knowledge, it means that it can be copied.

Through the long transmission in the void, Chen Sheng's insights from his breakthrough were transmitted to his clone's consciousness in just a dozen breaths.

As the three artifacts—eyes, body, and viscera—were successively condensed, the Yin God of this realm, who had cultivated the three Daoist arts to their peak, finally began to shine.

The blinding light of lightning pierced through the fleshy shell of the body, illuminating the swirling dust outside and rapidly expanding outwards.

Even the light of the Yang God, which was still in the process of transformation, stopped the howling sand and dust in the vicinity and gave rise to vigorous life.

[Controlling the Five Thunders] creates the five elements, extracts moisture from the depths of the earth, and allows the dry seeds buried in the sand for hundreds of years to sprout, and some flowers and grasses grow out here and there.

Chen Sheng began his brief but powerful transformation, which immediately caused Ying Zheng, dozens of miles away, to change his expression and turn to look in their direction.

"This fluctuation... how is this possible? Is someone breaking through to the fifth rank?"

"At such a critical juncture of life and death, Your Majesty still has the leisure to talk about other things. You are truly courting death in a righteous way."

The sweet shouts in his ear drew most of Ying Zheng's attention back to his side.

On the battlefield in the rain circle, Zhang Liang and his two companions seemed to have the upper hand. Their Three Officials Killing Formation formed a golden sphere of light, trapping Ying Zheng's physical body and the two black dragons transformed from his Yin spirit within it.

Beams of light bombarded Ying Zheng, constantly scattering large amounts of dark demonic energy and dripping flesh and blood.

At this moment, Ying Zheng's two dragon faces turned solemn, and they both let out a deep dragon roar.

"I originally thought your bloodline and formations were quite interesting, so I wanted you to show off all your abilities."

Unfortunately, a major event has occurred nearby, and I no longer have time to accompany you.

After saying this, Ying Zheng's two dragon bodies merged into one.

He raised his hands, controlling the demonic energy on his body to transform into flames, causing the demonic fire, which exuded an aura of decay and decay, to strike the formation, instantly burning a large hole in it.

Then, he opened his arms and embraced the sky, and a massive amount of demonic energy surged from his body, turning into wisps of black smoke that rushed toward the three mother dragons who were surrounded by shock in three directions.

Oh!

The demonic energy, which had previously been severely suppressed by the formation, has now transformed into an all-pervasive and eerie force, instantly seeping into the golden protective aura surrounding the three women.

Then, it surged into their dragon bodies like a tidal wave.

In just a moment, demonic energy, carrying a large amount of vital energy, surged out from the nine orifices of the dragon's body, turning into black smoke that dissipated into the air.

[Heavenly Demon Four Corruptions]: Corrupts bones, flesh, veins, and soul. Those afflicted by this technique will experience rapid aging of their blood, flesh, and vital essence, ultimately leading to death. This technique is effective against all immortal bodies at the fourth level of the Life Dao realm.

hold head high!
A mournful dragon roar resounded.

In extreme agony, the three women's dragon bodies were first drained of their skeletal form, becoming skin and bones, and then gradually shrank into a bloody, mangled mass of flesh, showing signs of disappearing.

Just then, a bright light suddenly shone into the rain circle, illuminating the three women and interrupting the Heavenly Demon's Four Eclipses spellcasting...
