Chapter 552

~28 min read 5,470 words

Seventy-two hours later, the sweeping polar light arrived as scheduled.

This time, Yan Ao did not take Zhao Xing back into his body. After the polar light swept past, Yan Ao asked Zhao Xing: "How do you feel?"

"I don't feel anything; I just saw a beam of light flash by." Zhao Xing's true spirit still couldn't capture the polar light that reflected the Nine Marshes God.

Yan Ao looked at Bowei again: "Is there still danger here?"

Bowei nodded: "Yes, the polar light reflects the Nine Marshes God, preserving a portion of divine realm power. We are fine seeing it, but if Zhao Xing sees it, his true spirit will be impacted."

"But this is also the moment that is beneficial to his cultivation."

Yan Ao nodded. Danger and opportunity coexist; completely avoiding danger is equivalent to rejecting opportunity.

Bowei looked at Zhao Xing: "There is another way to minimize the danger while allowing Zhao Xing to obtain this opportunity."

"No need." Yan Ao and Lu Ya spoke in unison, rejecting Bowei's proposal.

Bowei stopped speaking and silently returned to Zhao Xing's internal world.

"Senior, what did Bowei just say?" Zhao Xing asked Palace Master Lu Ya, sensing that the atmosphere was a bit off.

"Bowei just proposed that you teach him the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle, and then he would learn this method and go to comprehend the divine image left by the Nine Marshes God in the polar light."

Hearing this, Zhao Xing immediately felt that this method was feasible.

Bowei was at the Divine General level; he would have no danger in comprehending it, and after successfully comprehending it, he could also pass the art on to him.

"The idea is good, but we cannot agree to it."

"When he is comprehending, you have to relax the restrictions of the Great Dao Golden Hoop. After learning the Nine Marshes God, he might have the ability to break free from the shackles. We cannot take this risk."

Zhao Xing felt a bit regretful but could also understand. Bowei currently had conditional freedom; he had not yet fully gained the trust of the human race's high-level officials.

Assuming Bowei was let go and then joined the Evil God camp, no one could bear the cost.

When Zhao Xing was refining the magic spell of the Great Dao Golden Hoop, he discovered that the hoop had a self-detonation function.

Given the hatred Bowei had previously shown toward the divine realm, if Bowei was uncontrollable, the human race's high-level officials would rather kill Bowei than let him go.

"Zhao Xing, the polar light here contains the divine image of the Nine Marshes God. If you comprehend it, your true spirit will be impacted."

"I will only give you one chance to try. If we find that the damage to your true spirit is very great, Palace Master Lu Ya will immediately break the polar light and leave this place, leaving it for later."

"Yes." Zhao Xing also understood that his safety was the first priority for the Protector Divine Generals.

Assuming the impact of the divine image on him was very serious, it also proved that this opportunity was not something he could grasp, so he would naturally have to give it up.

"Flap~"

Palace Master Lu Ya flapped his wings, and Zhao Xing discovered that although his feet hadn't moved, the distance from his original position was far away.

"Look, it's right there."

Palace Master Lu Ya flapped his wings a second time, and the star clouds in front scattered.

Zhao Xing looked in the direction pointed out by Lu Ya and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He saw a huge beast in the starry sky in front of him, with a lion's face and vermilion hair, a spiral golden horn on its forehead, and its pupils were a burning star-sand vortex.

Its front two feet were like a Qilin's round hooves, and its back two feet were giant turtle iron claws.

Its torso was like a dragon's body, but with snow-white scales.

It walked on the waves, and nine water ripples emerged from its body, as if chains locking the surrounding space-time.

The true body of the Nine Marshes God appeared before Zhao Xing's eyes for the first time, and it was vastly different from the Hou Bian Method in the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle!

"The true god of the Nine Marshes God is so different from his divine descendants!"

Zhao Xing couldn't help but perform the Hou Bian Method, comparing the true body with his own Hou Bian Method.

Then he discovered that there was a huge difference between this divine image and the life diagram in the "Nine Marshes God" Hou Bian Method.

"The life diagram of the Nine Marshes God in the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle, the final form manifested is a golden horn on the head, human face and lion body, crocodile tail and flowing mane, and although there are claws on the limbs, it is still in a standing human form, overall close to a human form."

"But looking at it now, it is on all fours, a completely beast-like form."

"One is an idealized divine art, and the other is the true form of the Nine Marshes God?"

A huge confusion appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes, and at the same time, his true spirit began to vibrate violently, because the Hou Bian Method level he had previously cultivated appeared in violent conflict after seeing the divine image of the Nine Marshes God at this time.

Wanting to comprehend it would involuntarily correct the original Hou Bian Method, thereby stepping onto an unknowable path of change.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft~"

Zhao Xing's right hand split open, involuntarily giving birth to sharp thorns, and his palms also began to turn into hooves.

"Roar!"

The sound of wind and thunder appeared from within his body, Zhao Xing's body hunched over, and dense mane grew out, and he lay on the ground in pain.

When the divine image of the Nine Marshes God appeared before his eyes, his own Hou Bian Method was led by the divine image, his holy body appeared chaotic, triggering uncontrollable mutations.

Following that, the soul body within the Life Palace also began to lie down, assimilating with the Nine Marshes God.

"If this continues, I will become a divine descendant of the Nine Marshes God, be completely assimilated, and lose myself."

Alarm bells rang in Zhao Xing's heart; he stopped pushing the Hou Bian Method, but instead tried his best to suppress the Hou Bian inside his holy body, trying to return to a human form.

"Whoosh~"

The green flower magic power burned on the surface of his body, followed by the Profound Soul magic power guarding his heart, and the Cangming magic power repairing his soul body.

Finally, there were the dark yellow Extreme Land magic power, the pale golden Great Sun magic power, and the colorful Mixed Origin magic power.

Magic power represents the Dao that Zhao Xing has learned. At this moment, different magic powers surged back and forth inside and outside his body, trying their best to suppress the uncontrollable transformation.

Finally, after fighting for nearly seventy-one hours, Zhao Xing, with the assistance of the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle, turned back into a human form.

"Huff, hah."

He gasped for breath and collapsed on the ground.

Zhao Xing glanced at the panel and found that the fifth layer of the Nine Marshes God had increased by about 100 points, pushing the progress by about one percent.

It was not a completely fruitless trip.

But Yan Ao and Lu Ya didn't know this; they thought Zhao Xing couldn't grasp this opportunity and planned to take Zhao Xing away.

"Wait, wait a moment." Zhao Xing hurriedly stopped them. "Two seniors, please wait a moment; I haven't come away empty-handed."

Yan Ao frowned: "You were impacted by the divine image and almost couldn't recover. If you became a monster, you would be completely ruined."

Lu Ya also advised: "That's right, Zhao Xing, you once saved the Heaven-Wu Emperor in the Ten Thousand Star Island; you should know how difficult it is to recover after becoming a monster. Not everyone has such good luck."

"The Hou Bian Method is the most difficult magic spell to restore; it explores the forbidden zone of life. If you become a divine-level monster, maybe even a God King would find it difficult to save you."

"Two seniors, didn't I just turn back?" Zhao Xing said, "And I have the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle to protect me, which can control the impact of the divine image."

The first comprehension increased the progress by about one percent; where could one find such a good thing? Zhao Xing certainly didn't want to miss it.

Lu Ya and Yan Ao exchanged glances; they were also a bit hesitant.

"Two seniors, please give me one more chance to prove that I have indeed made progress."

"I believe the second comprehension will definitely not be so dangerous."

In the end, Zhao Xing persuaded the two.

After all, this was Zhao Xing's journey, Zhao Xing's adventure; the Protectors also had to consider Zhao Xing's own opinion.

"Alright, then you can try one more time." Lu Ya nodded first. "However, if your performance in the second time is the same as just now, then I will take you away."

"Yes." Zhao Xing seized the time and immediately began to rest and recover his magic power.

While recovering, he was also communicating with Bowei in his internal world.

Although Bowei couldn't learn the Nine Marshes God Hou Bian Method, it didn't mean Bowei wouldn't know other Hou Bian Methods. Regarding the understanding of Hou Bian Methods, Bowei was inevitably very profound.

"Divine-level Hou Bian Method, in essence, is peeking at the life origin of the divine realm." Bowei said slowly: "The divine realm will protect its own life origin well, so there are thousands of divine images and infinite changes."

"The origin of the Nine Marshes God reflects space-time; although the divine image is much weaker, it also possesses a protection mechanism."

"Do you remember the Original Assembly you attended? You should have seen Gu Luohe tamper with and solidify the origin partitions of plant life."

Zhao Xing nodded. When he had stabbed certain plants with the Extraction Divine Needle, he had seen the words 【Welcome to the Original Boundary】 when touching certain life partitions, which had given him a huge shock at the time.

And the Si Nong forces in the universe generally block the life origins of plants, locking the reproductive capabilities of certain seeds and seedlings,

firmly grasping the control of certain precious seeds.

"If you want to peek at the divine origin of the Nine Marshes God, you will naturally be assimilated by the divine image in return."

"Therefore, when divine-level Hou Bian Methods are created, they will all use the 'True Form' to confront the 'Divine Image'."

"The reason why the Hou Bian Method is the trump card magic spell of the Heaven-Time School is that its essence is peeking at the evolutionary path of life."

"Otherwise, it would be no different from those common magic spells of changing shapes and bones."

"It seems you haven't learned the Hou Bian True Form Method."

Listening to Bowei's words, Zhao Xing couldn't help but be stunned.

Divine-level Hou Bian Methods have the distinction of True Form and Divine Image? The essence is evolution?

"Please teach me, Elder." Zhao Xing asked sincerely. Since Bowei knew, he must have the Hou Bian True Form Method.

"I can teach you, but you must promise me one condition."

"Elder, you know I have no right to release you."

"Not this one."

"Please speak."

"Take me to the Place of Sealing and Zen once in the future." Bowei said: "Promise this condition, and I will pass it to you."

"Alright." Zhao Xing nodded. Anyway, Wei Ling Tianchen and Bamboo Sword had both been in, so one more Bowei wouldn't count for much.

Swish, swish, swish. Seeing this, Bowei used his finger as a pen, drawing on the boundary wall of Zhao Xing's internal world, carving out a secret art.

"Golden Cicada True Form: Double Body"

Zhao Xing carefully comprehended this secret art.

"The golden cicada has a shell, about to shed but not yet shed; the inner shell is me, the outer shell is the god, this is the double body—what a profound method."

Just by comprehending it, Zhao Xing was shocked by this secret art.

"The golden cicada forms inner and outer shells, shedding the shell to be reborn. The creator of this secret art observed the ancient golden cicada, using the divine body to form inner and outer double bodies, similar to the inner and outer shells of the ancient golden cicada."

"The inner shell is the True Form, stabilizing the first species form, which is the first True Form."

"The outer shell is the Divine Image, stealing the mysteries of the divine realm's origin, Marquis-Changing to become a god."

"Although the inner and outer shells are one body, they can greatly reduce the danger brought by cultivating the Hou Bian Method."

"Assuming an uncontrollable accident occurs, one can also discard the outer shell at any time to prevent being implicated."

"Can one even have triple bodies, quadruple bodies—ten thousand bodies, fusing Hou Bian Methods?" Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom of his predecessors.

"What Bowei gave me should be a remnant, only the cultivation method for the double body. I'm afraid this was obtained from past space-time; it is a very strong Hou Bian True Form cultivation method of the Heaven-Time School."

Bowei had once possessed a Boundary-Transmitting Tower, actively triggering tribulations from endless space-time.

By peeking at the secrets of past space-time through the Boundary-Transmitting Tower, Bowei knew even more than God Kings.

It was not strange to peek at some powerful methods and exchange for them.

"No wonder the human race's high-level officials couldn't bear to kill Bowei, but instead let him atone for his crimes through service. Bowei is a mobile secret art library."

However, it was not so simple to dig secret arts out of Bowei's pocket. After all, Bowei was already a Divine General, and he didn't have many needs anymore.

Freedom counted as one, and the thirst for knowledge counted as one. Zhao Xing couldn't give the former, but the latter could be exchanged in some places.

"I must chat with Bowei more in the future; maybe I can dig out some good stuff."

After obtaining "Golden Cicada True Form: Double Body," Zhao Xing concentrated on cultivating it.

The first year passed, and his skin began to emit a golden light, and his physical body expanded by a circle.

The Mixed Origin Holy Body underwent a flesh-and-blood splitting and recasting. At this moment, Zhao Xing's aura appeared very bloated and floating.

Lu Ya felt it was fresh just looking at it.

Why was it clearly one Zhao Xing standing in front of him, yet there was a feeling of two Zhao Xings overlapping?

"Zhao Xing, you can use the Yuanji Mountain and your internal world to stabilize the first species True Form. In this way, the safety of your cultivation can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. Even if the outer form cultivating the Nine Marshes God Hou Bian Method has problems, it will only be a waste of a few years to re-cultivate the second body."

Bowei gave suggestions, and Zhao Xing followed them. He used the Great Dao Divine Artifact 【Yuanji Mountain】 to suppress the True Form of his magic body. Every part of his human body's flesh, blood, and meridians was pressed by a great mountain.

At this moment, even if Zhao Xing was shattered, his body would be mountain-shaped fragments.

His body structure, including his life origin, could be said to be extremely stable.

After doing all this, Zhao Xing watched the divine image of the Nine Marshes God for the second time.

【You observe the Nine Marshes God image, Hou Bian Method "Nine Marshes God" fifth layer proficiency +15】

【You observe the Nine Marshes God image, Hou Bian Method "Nine Marshes God" fifth layer proficiency +30】

The impact of the divine image still existed, but Zhao Xing was able to minimize the damage.

Due to the impact, this comprehension was still bumpy, but after experiencing a period of familiarity, the subsequent progress was much faster.

【You observe the Nine Marshes God image, Hou Bian Method "Nine Marshes God" fifth layer proficiency +100】

【You observe the Nine Marshes God image, Hou Bian Method "Nine Marshes God" fifth layer proficiency +125】

【"Nine Marshes God" enters the sixth layer!】

The panel records were constantly refreshed, and Zhao Xing was immersed in the joy of the harvest.

Yan Ao and Lu Ya were both a bit surprised.

"Zhao Xing's first comprehension almost went out of control. In just over a year, for the second comprehension, he was completely unafraid of the divine image's impact. How did he do it?"

The little yellow duck stood on Yan Ao's shoulder, with big doubts in its small eyes.

"He seems to have cultivated some kind of magic body secret art." Yan Ao was also very interested. "After cultivating it, he reduced the harm of the divine image's impact."

It had now been the hundredth year of Zhao Xing's comprehension, but Zhao Xing's body had only disintegrated twice.

The first disintegration was after the fifth layer of the Nine Marshes God entered the sixth layer; the new form changed a lot, and it didn't turn around. The outer shell was impacted by the divine image, and there was a tendency to spread to the inner shell, so Zhao Xing decisively cut off the second body.

The second disintegration was after entering the seventh layer from the sixth layer; the impact force suddenly increased, so he had to cut off the second body and pause the comprehension.

"Now, my Nine Marshes God has entered the seventh layer, and it's not far from the eighth layer."

"The closer to perfection, the greater the impact force of the divine image."

"The fifteen-stage true spirit is already difficult to control."

Although there was the stability of "Golden Cicada True Form Double Body," compared to a divine-level secret art, the true spirit was still too weak.

Therefore, in the 101st year, Zhao Xing decided to let Palace Master Lu Ya take him out to survive the sixteenth True Spirit Tribulation.

"You've only sealed the first mountain, and you're in such a hurry to survive the sixteenth tribulation? Are you sure you have full confidence?" Palace Master Lu Ya squinted. "If you're not sure, don't mess around; if you're struck to death by the heavenly tribulation, there's no saving you."

Zhao Xing, a talent like this, indeed had a chance of resurrection. However, dying under the True Spirit Tribulation was also one of the situations where there was no rescue.

"Palace Master, rest assured, I am confident that after surviving the sixteenth True Spirit Tribulation, the seventeenth True Spirit Tribulation will not descend in a short time."

"Alright, then I'll take you out." Lu Ya flapped his short wings, jumped onto Zhao Xing's shoulder, and then flapped his wings lightly.

Swish~

The next moment, the man and the duck appeared in the Desert Sea.

Zhao Xing took the initiative to trigger the sixteenth True Spirit Tribulation; yellow sand filled the sky, and the ocean flowed over his head, covering him.

"Tangible tribulation, Mountain Tribulation."

Zhao Xing smiled as soon as he saw it.

Yellow sand and ocean condensed into one Layered Boundary Mountain after another, compressing inward.

These bodies squeezed inward, while constantly thickening and growing larger.

Zhao Xing was no stranger to such characteristics.

It was exactly the tribulation of the Layered Boundary Mountain.

"Using the Layered Boundary Mountain to press me? For this sixteenth tribulation, I don't even need to use the Mountain Spirit."

If it were another type, although Zhao Xing's true body had confidence, he would still have to consider whether the split souls could survive it.

The Six-Winged Mountain Spirit mainly helped the split soul bodies survive the tribulation.

But now that the tribulation formed was the suppression of the Layered Boundary Mountain, Zhao Xing had no such worries at all.

"Come together!"

Zhao Xing simply released all the split souls and triggered the sixteenth True Spirit Tribulation together.

200 Layered Boundary Mountains, layer upon layer of nesting dolls, trapped Zhao Xing and the split souls inside.

The terrifying negative pressure and majestic earth veins brought by the 200 Layered Boundary Mountains, if they descended on any star system, would be a terrifying "Disaster of Earth Change."

Even the border passes built by the Empire and the Great Wall of Desperate Situations would be difficult to withstand and would be crushed.

"Five-Pole Spirit Pearl Earth Palace!"

Two hundred and one Zhao Xings performed the Five-Pole Spirit Pearl Earth Palace Method in unison.

Brilliant spirit pearls lit up like stars, and more than a thousand Five-Pole Spirit Pearl Earth Palaces soared into the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!"

The spirit pearls constantly bombarded the Layered Boundary Mountains.

Lasting for sixteen days, the Layered Boundary Mountains, layer upon layer, were all pierced through by Zhao Xing and all the split souls.

"Yu~"

When Zhao Xing drilled out from the mountain body, the 200 Layered Boundary Mountains suddenly turned into yellow sand, gravel, and ocean, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Hum~"

Zhao Xing felt the true spirit further strengthen, and the origin between the universe further gathered toward him.

Looking at the panel again, it was already a sixteen-stage true spirit and a sixteen-stage Mixed Origin Holy Body.

"Magic power, true spirit, and holy body have all increased significantly, with the true spirit increasing the most." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Starting from the fifteenth stage, for every additional stage, the gap in strength is a huge chasm, basically requiring divine arts and divine artifacts to make up for this gap.

Assuming there is no such extra method or artifact to make up for the gap, no number of fifteenth-stage demigods can beat a sixteenth-stage demigod.

"However, lifespan and luck have not increased much; they are still nearly 10 epochs of remaining lifespan and thirty-one stages of luck."

Surviving the True Spirit Tribulation, the biggest reward is at the combat power level; the increase in luck and lifespan is negligible. Because the natural laws of the universe operate, what is limited is lifespan and luck.

The post-universe entering the extinction period, the generation of tribulations, is to erase those powerful lives.

"It is said that when the universe truly reaches the moment of extinction, all life, whether it is a God King or a God Emperor, cannot escape death."

There have been precedents for this; Bowei said that in history, there was once a God King who was born within an origin boundary.

After that origin boundary died, the God King born from the origin boundary also died with it, and he no longer existed in any space-time.

It was precisely this example that led to the "Universe Extinction Theory," supporting the four-stage theory of the universe of the Self School.

It was also the beginning of the split between the two major divine-level camps; in order to survive, one must prevent the universe from operating until the moment of Great Extinction.

"Kid, you really made quite a stir; my divine concealment state has dropped by another stage." After surviving the tribulation, Lu Ya flew back onto Zhao Xing's shoulder.

When it flew over, Zhao Xing still couldn't see clearly.

"I've made the Palace Master laugh."

"Quack, I'm praising you." Palace Master Lu Ya called out: "Then are you going in now, or are you going to rest for a while?"

"I'll consolidate first."

Zhao Xing said. "Thank you for waiting, Senior."

"It's not hard, but you have to grasp the time well. After that polar light is triggered, it is constantly consuming great power, and it will extinguish in at most four hundred years."

The polar light reflects the Nine Marshes God Domain; from the moment Zhao Xing and the Divine Generals entered, the great power began to weaken.

It can only be maintained for four hundred years; this can only be considered a fleeting opportunity.

Zhao Xing comprehended in the polar light space for a hundred years, and He Chengzi burned incense and prayed in the altar, chanting scriptures and making offerings for a hundred years.

In a hundred years, He Chengzi and his junior sister had accumulated a large amount of True Spirit Incense, just waiting for Zhao Xing's gaze to fall, and they could absorb it.

"Junior sister, you say this Zhao Xing is really able to endure." He Chengzi sat in a chair and hammered his legs. "How much True Spirit Incense have we offered in these hundred years, and he hasn't even looked at it once."

The high-standard offerings in a hundred years produced incense comparable to the offerings of a reincarnation-realm family like Li Chang for a million years.

If it were him, He Chengzi, he probably would have eaten this incense feast long ago; this is a great supplement!

"Senior brother, Zhao Xing is the Mountain Head of the Primeval Hill, and his schedule is full; maybe he is too busy." Fairy Xuehui picked up a book and flipped it open.

"That's true." He Chengzi asked: "Junior sister, what are you reading?"

"Cold Food Scripture." Fairy Xuehui didn't raise her head. "The second Cold Food Assembly has been convened. This time it's not as secretive as the first, but public."

"The Cold Food Scripture records many food supplement methods, the three main ones being Sun and Moon Food Supplement, Object Food Method, and Human Food Method."

"What's good about this?" He Chengzi had no interest in anything other than incense.

Fairy Xuehui raised her head and smiled: "Senior brother, don't underestimate these three major food supplement methods; they can trigger conflicts between the Demon Clan and the Human Clan, and will also lead to a large reduction in the sun and moon twin stars."

"Senior brother, just wait and see. If the Demon Gods of the second Cold Food Assembly believe in the Lord of Cold Food, then the alliance between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan will probably show cracks."

"Wait and see? I don't want to wait at all." He Chengzi complained: "I just want to finish the task of influencing Zhao Xing as soon as possible and return to our era. The environment of the Desolate Domain era is really too bad."

Fairy Xuehui raised her head and saw that her senior brother, He Chengzi, had also taken out a Dao book to read.

"Senior brother, what are you reading again?"

"Three Epoch Boundary Theory and Eight Methods of Layered Boundary Mountain."

"Isn't this Zhao Xing's work?" Fairy Xuehui was stunned. "Senior brother, why are you reading this?"

He Chengzi had always hated Zhao Xing; both were demigods, yet he had to offer sacrifices to Zhao Xing, a junior, which was considered a disgraceful thing.

"I just want to produce more incense and finish the task earlier." He Chengzi said lightly: "Understanding more of Si Nong Zhao's legal theory is beneficial to the task."

Fairy Xuehui looked at her senior brother's serious appearance and muttered in her heart: "Si Nong Zhao? He didn't call him that before. Now he pops out a 'Si Nong Zhao' from time to time. Senior brother, don't get trapped."

【Place of Sealing and Zen: 11%】

Zhao Xing glanced at the panel, and then a scene of He Chengzi piously offering scriptures and chanting appeared in his mind.

"He Chengzi has started studying my legal theory. The voices I heard when absorbing True Spirit Incense have gradually increased with content related to my legal theory."

"They actually started reading books and debating scriptures; does the Evil God camp have to be so serious?"

Sealing his thoughts, Zhao Xing threw this matter aside.

In any case, he was lying down, and the believers could do the work, which greatly increased the progress of his Place of Sealing and Zen, which could be considered a benefit.

"Palace Master Lu Ya, we can go in."

The little yellow duck sleeping on his shoulder flapped its wings sleepily, and then Zhao Xing felt a blur before his eyes and returned to the polar light space.

In the 223rd year of cultivation in the polar light space, Zhao Xing successfully impacted the eighth layer of the "Nine Marshes God" Hou Bian Method.

In the 54 years that followed, the eighth layer of the Hou Bian Method was pushed to perfection by Zhao Xing.

At this time, "Golden Cicada True Form Double Body" was also cultivated to perfection.

Zhao Xing's eyes appeared with double pupils, his breathing seemed to have two parallel paths, and even occasionally two different heartbeats would be produced.

"The ninth layer is the last layer, which is the last step to Marquis-Changing into the Nine Marshes God."

"There is more than a hundred years of duration left in the polar light space; I don't know if I can cross this threshold." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

As the progress of the eighth layer was perfected, the impact of the divine image became greater and greater.

The number of times Zhao Xing cut off the second body also became more and more frequent.

Before, daily comprehension could yield results, but now, only when cutting off the second body could he have insights.

Up to now, only the last bit of proficiency was needed to step into the ninth layer, and the state after Hou Bian would also reach the divine level.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!!!"

Time passed, and the sound of flesh disintegrating constantly appeared in the polar light space.

Every burst would produce some scales and mane.

At first, these scales and mane would quickly lose their power and turn to ash after shattering.

But slowly, even if the second body was cut, it could preserve some matter, and features of the Nine Marshes God slowly appeared.

In the 478th year of entering the polar light space, Palace Master Lu Ya no longer slept, but looked at Zhao Xing's surroundings with interest.

At this time, Zhao Xing's surroundings were no longer empty; the starry sky around him appeared with a large amount of flesh and blood matter, scales, claw fragments, reddish mane, and some skin stratum corneum.

It was densely packed, almost occupying half of the star system.

"Every time he cut off his flesh before, because the divine image involved the divine origin, it was impossible to exist in this space."

"Now, not only can it exist, but there is actually so much?"

"Yan Ao, tell me, has he really succeeded, or will he become a monster?" Palace Master Lu Ya stood on Yan Ao's head and pecked at Yan Ao's forehead.

Yan Ao also woke up from his meditation, glanced at Zhao Xing's surroundings, and his eyes were a bit surprised.

He glanced at Bowei, who had already been summoned.

The latter immediately replied:

"Regardless of whether Zhao Xing can remain conscious, he will inevitably enter the divine realm after the Hou Bian."

"According to my calculations, there are about thirty attempts left, and his Hou Bian Method will enter the divine-level layer."

Yan Ao and Lu Ya were both stunned, staring at Zhao Xing's changes.

Countdown thirty attempts, failed, cut off the second body.

Countdown twenty-nine, cut off the second body.

Countdown twenty-eight—

The polar light space became dimmer and dimmer, and Zhao Xing's cutting cultivation became more and more urgent.

Soon, he reached the thirtieth Hou Bian predicted by Bowei.

"Boom!"

A vast divine power radiance shone, sweeping away all the wreckage, and at the same time, the polar light quickly gathered, and the entire space-time collapsed.

The three Divine Generals appeared together in the space of the Desert Sea.

And in front of them, a figure emitting astonishing divine power aura stood, flames burning, and the momentum was astonishing. The river of sand stopped flowing, and the ocean stopped rolling; the entire Desert Sea seemed to be fixed.

"It's this taste, a familiar taste! The best meal I've ever eaten was this taste!"

"Quack, he is definitely a divine realm." Palace Master Lu Ya let out a loud cry, jumping around on Yan Ao's head.

"Yan Ao, Bowei, quickly tell me, does Zhao Xing's will still exist? If not, I can't help but eat him!"

Before Bowei and Yan Ao could speak, a familiar voice came from the light and shadow.

"Palace Master, wait, it's one of our own."
