Chapter 88: 【Size as Desired, Taotie Descendant】 (First update, seeking subscriptions)
【Size as Desired】: Can become larger or smaller at will, strength and other aspects change with the change, able to reach the sky and stand on the earth or hide in a mustard seed.
After obtaining the 【Embryonic Transformation】 supernatural power, Lu Chengtong could obtain the ability to change through essence blood.
But the body size of the change was based on a ten-fold increase or one-tenth reduction of his existing body size.
This was because of the limitations of his own constitution.
The size of the body was often closely related to strength; this was something in the realm of laws, involving the essence of life.
Just one 【Embryonic Transformation】 supernatural power did not yet contain the content in this regard.
But at this time, the new supernatural power 【Size as Desired】 perfectly solved this problem.
With the strengthening of soul power, the range of change also increased.
The supernatural power of the Nascent Soul realm could at most allow him to obtain a height of fifteen zhang; the increase in volume was huge.
Shrinking could also be maintained smaller; before, he could at most become the size of a weasel, but now he could become as small as a cicada.
A huge body size meant formidable strength and vigorous vitality, while a tiny body size represented extremely high concealment and survival ability.
When facing an enemy attack, there was no doubt that as long as he became as small as a cicada, the attack power received would become much smaller.
After having this supernatural power, the range of demonic beasts he could transform into became broader.
Previously, because of the constraints of body size, he could only choose to transform into demonic beasts that were relatively close to his own body size or those that could take human form.
Now, although there were still restrictions, the vast majority of demonic beasts could be included in this body size range.
Lu Chengtong discovered that this supernatural power could not only make the whole body change but could also make a certain part increase or decrease individually.
And he also discovered that the essence of this supernatural power was based on essence energy; the essence energy obtained by devouring creatures with a body that had become larger and then digesting it could still be accumulated in the body after becoming smaller.
Essence energy directly affected vitality; quantitative change led to qualitative change, and what was finally fed back was the improvement of lifespan.
After obtaining the 【Nail-Head Seven Arrows】 supernatural power, Lu Chengtong now had a relatively persistent pursuit of lifespan; now that he had a method that could help him increase his lifespan on the existing basis, how could he ignore it?
After thinking, he made a decision.
Exterminate demons!
He was not a kind person, and besides, there was a competitive relationship between the demon race and the human race where they fed on each other.
There were many demons in the Beihuang Region, most of them scattered in various mountains and forests; killing these demons was a contribution to the human race.
To this day, Lu Chengtong was already two hundred and eleven years old; at such an age, possessing the cultivation of the sixth layer of the Golden Core realm was already not low.
The three lineages of the Lu family were developing well, and he had secretly helped them solve quite a few troubles.
Among the descendants, there were already a full eleven Golden Core Masters.
When the family luck reached a certain level, the number of Golden Core cultivators in the clan showed a trend of significant increase.
This force, when united, was enough to create a new sect.
But according to Lu Chengtong's arrangement, they took at most two Golden Core Masters as one lineage, separated again, and migrated to farther places to expand the survival range of the Lu family descendants.
In these years, in the Beihuang Region, the disputes between the demon race and the human race intensified, and conflicts were constant.
Starting from the snatching of the Azure Phoenix Blood Jade of the Qingyu Immortal Sect back then, the demons constantly attacked human sects to obtain some cultivation resources beneficial to the demon race, and the human side also launched large-scale sieges on certain demon encampments.
Although many demons were killed, including powerful Spirit Transformation great demons, generally speaking, it didn't hurt the bones and muscles of the entire Beihuang Region demon race.
Lu Chengtong cultivated and developed the family on one hand, and continued to scout at Piaoxue Tower on the other.
The scouting results were very unsuccessful; unless he took action against the Vice Tower Master who had reached the Nascent Soul realm, there was no in-depth news from anyone else, and all the killers, including some people in charge of Piaoxue Tower besides the Tower Master, were just peripheral.
Only figures at the Tower Master level were the core.
Lu Chengtong naturally didn't dare to act rashly, so as not to alert the enemy.
In these years, he at most helped when Hou Zhao completed tasks, so he wouldn't encounter life-threatening danger.
Piaoxue Tower had been able to be active in the Beihuang Region as a killer organization for so many years; there must be a deep background behind it. Although Lu Chengtong could kill the Vice Tower Master he saw, this fundamentally couldn't change anything.
If the source couldn't be found, everything was in vain.
Therefore, he still needed to wait for the opportunity, either for the other party to reveal a flaw, or for himself to be strong enough.
Lu Chengtong's current cultivation had reached the sixth layer of the Golden Core realm, reaching a bottleneck period of slow improvement; wanting to break through this layer, he either needed eighty or a hundred years, or he needed an external force.
The external force he prepared to find was vast essence energy.
The essence of immortal cultivation was the process of refining essence into Qi and refining Qi into spirit; essence energy could serve as the foundation for everything.
Possessing the 'Size as Desired' supernatural power, his conversion efficiency of essence energy had improved by more than one level; as long as he could bring himself to eat, he could obtain sufficient essence energy by eating a large number of high-level demonic beasts raw.
Accumulating this essence energy to a certain extent could help him improve the vitality of his physical body, thereby amplifying his lifespan, and at the same time, it could also strengthen his Golden Core.
Wanting to use the process of 'quantitative change to qualitative change' to benefit Golden Core cultivation was a very huge number.
But for the improvement of his own cultivation, he could only make those demonic beasts suffer.
With the existence of the Treasure Mirror that mastered the Nascent Soul realm 【Lost Soul Seizure】 supernatural power, Lu Chengtong found hunting Golden Core realm demonic beasts very easy; he could even guide them to refine a Dao seed first, and then kill them, thus utilizing their soul cultivation to the greatest extent.
Their demon cores were also preserved by Lu Chengtong.
In the Lu family Secret Realm, he had stored quite a few Golden Cores of human cultivators and demon cores of Golden Core realm demonic beasts; these things could directly supplement cultivation, but the remaining ones were all mid-stage and early-stage Golden Core realm, which had limited improvement for his cultivation.
He was only just over two hundred years old; compared to a lifespan of nine hundred years, he was still very young, so there was no need to waste Golden Cores for cultivation.
These Golden Cores could be used to quickly cultivate one or several Golden Core cultivators in the event that the Lu family suffered a major blow and lost all Golden Core cultivators.
Although Golden Core realm cultivators couldn't be counted as a powerhouse, they were enough to provide a certain survival ability.
Relatively speaking, hunting demonic beasts could not only obtain cultivation improvement but also save a demon core and a Golden Core realm Dao Fruit; why not do it!
In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.
In these ten years, a rumor appeared in the Beihuang Region immortal cultivation world.
There was a demonic beast that possessed multiple forms and constantly devoured other demonic beasts to amplify its cultivation; it was suspected to be a descendant of the ancient fierce beast 'Taotie', and the co-lord of the Beihuang Region demon race, Wanyin Mountain, issued a recruitment for this demonic beast, inviting it to join.
And on the human side, a kill order was issued for it.
This result made Lu Chengtong very astonished. ===== CHAPTER 89 =====
