Chapter 271

Heavenly Palace.

Practice Hall.

Under a hundredfold time acceleration, Yin Qi practiced his fist, losing track of time.

It is unknown how much time had passed—perhaps months, perhaps years—but he finally completely refined the energy of the Longevity Dao Fruit and also completely integrated the essence of the Longevity Dao Fruit.

Finally, his martial Dao broke through once again.

Hum hum!

Deep within Yin Qi's body, a faint, bee-like humming sound continuously emerged.

His own body seemed to have become a beehive.

Boom—!

The humming sound continuously grew louder; when it thoroughly reached its limit, Yin Qi's body suddenly collapsed, transforming into tiny particles—a full four hundred eighty million of them, the same number as the Yang God's thoughts.

Although Yin Qi's physical body collapsed, he did not die, nor did he disappear, because each of these particles carried all the information of his physical body and could evolve into countless versions of himself at any time.

He knew.

Thousand Transformations, it's done!

At this moment, a wonderful feeling came to his heart; he seemed to have mastered the ultimate mystery of physical transformation.

Subsequently, countless particles instantly closed together, but instead of recovering into a human, they combined into a Heavenly Dragon, over a hundred zhang long, its body covered in dense scales, flashing with a cold, chilling light.

This was a true Heavenly Dragon, not some illusion, nor some transformation method.

Thousand Transformations: a person can change into any living creature.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this.

That is, one must have a thorough understanding of the life essence of the target of the transformation; one cannot change out of thin air.

Having obtained the dragon corpse ice pillar from the Dragon Tomb, although Yin Qi gave it all to Ao Luan, he also took some Heavenly Dragon essence blood, handed it to the Bagua Daoren to refine pills, and of course, also comprehended the life essence of the Heavenly Dragon.

Thousand Transformations is equivalent to the peak of nine thunder tribulations.

In reality, there is still quite a large gap between nine thunder tribulations and the peak of nine thunder tribulations.

Subsequently, Yin Qi turned into a horse, a carp, a magpie, and so on, playing to his heart's content.

After a long time, he recovered.

"Hoo!"

Yin Qi exhaled a long breath of turbid air; this turbid air was actually like a Heavenly Dragon, condensed and not dissipating, roaring with bared fangs and brandished claws, until it slowly dissipated after a long time.

"The Longevity Dao Fruit is truly worthy of its reputation, saving me over a dozen years of bitter cultivation. If it had been refined by Kong, I fear achieving Shattering Vacuum would not have been impossible!"

Both being at the realm of fist intent materialization, his foundation could not compare to Kong's at all.

Kong was a Vajra Great Strength Divine Ape, whose innate physique far exceeded other living beings, and he had cultivated for unknown years, experiencing countless battles; the depth of his foundation was certainly not something Yin Qi could compare to.

If he could elevate to the Thousand Transformations realm, then Kong could possibly achieve Shattering Vacuum.

As a disciple of the Longevity Great Emperor and a junior fellow apprentice of Pan Emperor, Kong certainly understood the mystery of Shattering Vacuum.

Having achieved the Thousand Transformations realm, Yin Qi did not rush to leave, but continued to cultivate, because he had only absorbed one-third of the energy dissipated by the Longevity Dao Fruit, which had also allowed him to cultivate to the peak of Golden Core, and he could break through to Nascent Soul.

………

When Yin Qi walked out of the Heavenly Palace, only one month had passed in the Great Thousand World.

But in the Practice Hall, it had already been over eight years.

Not only had his martial Dao cultivated to the Thousand Transformations realm, but his immortal Dao had also cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm, equivalent to eight thunder tribulations, or the level of fist intent materialization.

Originally, Yin Qi was prepared to continue cultivating, at least until he reached the peak of Nascent Soul before leaving seclusion.

But an urgent message came from the Shenfeng Kingdom: the Shenfeng Kingdom's ruler was actually going to ascend the throne and proclaim himself Emperor.

This was a major event!

For Yin Qi, it was even more of a betrayal.

"The Shenfeng Kingdom's ruler has actually risen up, and without even greeting me; it seems he has something else to rely on!"

"Is it the Terror God King?"

Yin Qi whispered to himself, his eyes deep.

He remembered that deep within the Shenfeng Continent, there was an Immortal Monument sealing the Terror God King.

At the beginning of this epoch, five great God Kings were born: the Immortal God King, the Terror God King, the Gouli God King, the Damie God King, and the Zheming God King.

These five great God Kings were born with physical bodies of Shattering Vacuum, and even the Longevity Great Emperor could not kill them, only seal them in five Immortal Monuments, attempting to grind them to death.

In this way, the five Immortal Monuments combined would be an Artifact King.

It was just a pity that these Immortal Monuments did not grind the five great God Kings to death, but were instead refined by them individually.

Because of the spread of the "I Ching," their pace of breaking free was accelerated even further.

Now that this urgent message came from the Shenfeng Kingdom, Yin Qi guessed that the Terror God King must have been born and had controlled or induced the Shenfeng Kingdom's ruler.

Thinking of this, Yin Qi secretly activated the Bagua Diagram.

After a long time, his eyes shone brightly.

The result of the divination was the same as his guess: the Terror God King had thoroughly broken free.

In reality, among the five great God Kings, only the Terror God King broke free the latest; the Gouli God King had long been imprisoned in the Siji Tianlao of Pan Star, and the other three great God Kings were also lurking, their whereabouts impossible to calculate.

Back then, they had the combat power of Shattering Vacuum, and even the Longevity Great Emperor could not kill them.

But after tens of thousands of years, their strength had also greatly diminished, and it was not something that could be recovered in a short time.

For example, the Terror God King was probably only equivalent to eight thunder tribulations.

"Not lurking properly to recover your cultivation, but jumping out to cause trouble instead."

"Terror God King, if you don't die, who will?"

Yin Qi snorted coldly.

After giving instructions to Ao Luan and the others, he tore through the void and left.

With Ao Luan and Yun Xiangxiang holding down the fort at home, and having left behind the Heavenly Palace, even if Kong came, he would not be able to do anything to them.

Kong was a master thief, completely lacking the demeanor a powerhouse should have, and he would definitely do things that harmed wives and children.

………

The capital of the Shenfeng Kingdom was crisscrossed with rivers and filled with peach blossoms everywhere.

All year round, the scenery was like spring.

As the number one power overseas, the Shenfeng Kingdom was extremely wealthy, and the royal palace was also built magnificently.

Yin Qi did not head straight for the royal palace, but went to find Luoyun.

This news was also sent to him by Luoyun.

"Eh, not in the city!"

Yin Qi used the Bagua Diagram to calculate and discovered that Luoyun was not in the Princess Mansion.

So he continued to calculate and discovered that Luoyun was in a manor over fifty li east of the capital, and the hexagram showed that Luoyun's current state was in a "trapped" situation.

"Interesting!"

Yin Qi continued to calculate, and soon all kinds of information flooded his mind, and cold light flashed in his eyes.

With one step, Yin Qi walked into the void.

When he appeared again, he had already arrived in front of the manor over fifty li away.

This manor was planted with peach trees in the front and back, and all around were flat, fertile fields, with many slaves working in the fields.

With a thought from Yin Qi, a vast yet imperceptible consciousness directly enveloped the entire manor, and then, like mercury, it quietly permeated through countless spaces, searching for Luoyun's aura.

"Hmm?"

Yin Qi raised his eyebrows, and his person disappeared from where he was, entering a secret chamber.

He saw Luoyun.

At this time, Luoyun was cultivating; he saw her body wreathed in demonic qi, her expression painful, as if she were forcibly enduring the erosion of the demonic qi, because this demonic qi was extremely overbearing, even more savage and cruel than Kong's demon qi.

Her body was wreathed in demonic qi, and vaguely, one could see countless demon gods hidden within, roaring and wanting to drill into her body.

"Going into demonic deviation!"
