Chapter 827 The Ruyi Suixin Gun

Caroline transformed into a bird and, without disturbing the raging god's remains, circled over a hundred kilometers at top speed to arrive behind Him.

Old Rex, who witnessed this scene through the sniper scope, nodded, took a deep breath, and his aura surged as he began to activate his transformation technique!

The originally illusory qi condensed into a tangible form, rapidly constructing a huge fleshy tissue with Rex himself at its core. As the qi increased, it continued to grow larger and thicker, almost instantly forming a heart as large as a building.

Pfft!
As the heart beats, a vast network of blood vessels unfolds, outlining the contours of other organs. Meanwhile, an outer layer of bone forms to protect these fragile tissues, which then develop into nerves and cover muscles...

In the blink of an eye, a giant several thousand meters tall appeared high in the sky, and began to fall due to its enormous weight.

“This is…” Seeing that Old Rex had transformed into a giant whose size rivaled that of the God’s remains, Caroline finally understood what the signal he was referring to was.

The law of heaven and earth! The ultimate power of the Transformation School!
Ordinary shapeshifters can usually only transform into monsters a few meters, or at most tens of meters, while at their peak, they can transform into monsters that are hundreds of meters in size.

However, this can only be considered a quantitative change brought about by the increase in the amount of vital energy stored and the ability to control it, rather than a qualitative change. Theoretically, if a cultivator has extraordinary talent, spirituality, and physical constitution, even if he has not reached the peak, he may still become a hundred-meter-long behemoth.

What truly distinguishes the peak state from the Concentration state is the ability to shrink!
At their peak, practitioners of the Transformation Sect can not only transform into giant monsters, but also shrink their size and become small animals such as birds or mice.

While both increasing size and decreasing size may seem like changes, they are fundamentally different. Increasing size can be understood as using internal energy to simulate biological tissue on the body's surface, covering it—theoretically no different from creating a controllable flesh-and-blood mech. Therefore, in an era when the theory of primordial energy was still incomplete, many argued that the Transformation School was actually part of the Creation School, essentially a high-level application of creation techniques.

However, this voice completely disappeared after the first Transformationist to reach his peak, Old Rex, broke through. Creation magic can create flesh and tissue to increase size, but it cannot alter the original body's structure, much less drastically shrink it!

This evolution from large to small thoroughly proves to the Shapeshifters that this is an ability completely different from other factions! Flesh and armor are just the surface; the ability to change oneself is the Shapeshifters' true trump card!
However, after Old Rex advanced to the Ascension Realm, everyone was speculating about what kind of qualitative change this faction's abilities would undergo.

However, the answer given by old Rex was somewhat disappointing.

Because the direction of his change changed from "small" to "large"!
This time it's incredibly large, evolving from the original hundred-meter range to the thousand-meter range, becoming a colossal beast capable of trampling mountains under its feet!
But this is rather commonplace for Feathering... The rule for the Transformation Sect to transform into monsters is that the higher the Yuan Qi, the stronger and larger the size. When Feathering is reached, the significant increase in size is a normal occurrence, and it is not as amazing as the shrinking at the peak.

But soon, people realized that Old Rex's transformation into a form several kilometers long was not so simple!
As Rex, now a giant, plummeted downwards, she suddenly took a deep breath just before hitting the ground, and then her body burst forth with a radiant light of energy!

That's right, a giant beast at the Feathered Transformation level can use Yuan Qi!

Ordinary shapeshifters use their vital energy to construct the flesh covering their bodies. It can be said that the monster wrapped around their bodies is the body's own protective energy. Naturally, it is impossible to condense another layer of protective energy on the monster's body.

However, at the peak and beyond, the changes are no longer limited to simply adding materials to the physical body; rather, they involve combining vital energy with one's own being, directly altering the physiological structure. Based on this, the giant that Old Rex of the Feathered Transformation Realm transformed into was not merely a shell of flesh and armor, but a truly gigantic creature possessing complete bones, muscles, nerves, and even meridians!

In fact, this can be said to be the only solution for extreme enlargement, because what limits the size of the Transformation Sect is not only the user's capacity and realm!
As the protective aura ignited, Old Rex finally landed. His feet, covered in the aura's light, slammed into the barren earth with a loud thud, instantly sinking deep into it!

Yes, as the size of a creature increases, the cross-sectional area of ​​its limbs, which determines its strength and power, increases squarely, but its weight, which is proportional to its volume, increases cubically. This means that the larger the monster, the more difficult it is to support its own weight!
What truly limits the size of behemoths are the laws of physics.

An ordinary flesh-and-blood body, without external force, can never grow too large. Elephants, the largest land animals today, weigh less than ten tons and have already lost the ability to jump. Whether the largest dinosaurs in history even reached a weight of a hundred tons is debatable. Animals even larger than them could only live in the sea, relying on the buoyancy of water to distribute their weight.

While a body constructed from vital energy is undoubtedly more robust than a natural flesh and blood body, it still has its limits. A size of hundreds of meters and a weight of tens of thousands of tons have already reached their limits. Of course, some have tried to reduce the density of the flesh to create a monster that looks enormous but is hollow inside, but such a balloon-like form has almost no combat power.

In short, to obtain a physique that surpasses biological limits, one must possess strength that surpasses material limits. If physical strength alone is insufficient, then internal energy is the only way out!
By reconstructing the physical body and recreating the meridians, Old Rex successfully gave the transformed giant beast the power of qi. This not only solved the problem of physical strength, but also allowed the transformed giant beast to use the abilities of a cultivator!

Imagine a giant who can trample mountains under his feet, his body radiating a fierce aura as he charges toward you. He doesn't even need any other abilities; with just brute force, he can flatten mountains, cut off rivers, shake the earth, and change the color of the sky!

When Ling Yang, the first person in the main world to ascend to immortality, saw this move, a divine power from mythology instinctively popped into his mind:
Law heaven and earth!

Since then, this move has been adopted by old Rex and has become the official name of his signature technique.

“But… even with the Heavenly Transformation Technique, the Patriarch is no match for the Divine Remains…” Caroline frowned. Two years ago, the Divine Remains showed signs of awakening due to their stimulation, and Old Rex used the Heavenly Transformation Technique at that time. Although he managed to suppress it with all his might, Old Rex was also badly injured. He was exhausted, his energy was almost depleted, and he suffered serious internal injuries. It took him a long time to recover. If it weren't for his seclusion to recover, that villain wouldn't have stolen the Eternal Star!
That time, it was only to suppress the sleeping divine remains. This time, the divine remains have fully awakened. With just this move, "Heaven and Earth Manifestation," it's probably no match for them!

However, what happened next completely surprised Caroline.

Then, the giant that Old Rex had transformed into pulled something out from behind him.

At first, it was hard to see clearly, but the thing grew as it faced the wind, instantly transforming from an ordinary treasure into a size that could match the scale of the Dharma of Heaven and Earth!
That's a sniper rifle!

Just now, the gun that old Rex took out, now held in his hand, is also as tall as a person, but this reference point is no longer an ordinary person, but a giant thousands of meters tall!

The thick, black gun barrel, like a giant pillar reaching into the clouds, is a sight to behold!

Caroline remembered that this gun was a new weapon that old Rex had recently acquired, the Ruyi Suixin Gun!

Although it is only a legendary weapon, it has two functions that are very suitable for old Rex.

One key feature is ammunition compatibility; this gun can be used with all types of ammunition within a certain caliber range. Although it looks like a sniper rifle, it can fire shotgun shells, pistol rounds, syringes, and even high-tech ammunition such as energy and electromagnetic projectiles.

Although it is impossible to do something as absurd as firing a cannonball with a gun barrel due to caliber limitations, its versatility is already strong enough!

As for the second point, it's about size compatibility!

To put it simply, this gun adjusts its size according to the user's body shape, so that the total length of the gun is almost the same as the user's height.

Since the size of the gun has changed, the size of the ammunition must naturally change as well; otherwise, it would be too incongruous for a gun tens of meters long to still fire 7.62mm bullets. And since the size of the ammunition has changed, naturally, the power must also be adjusted accordingly!

Therefore, the most suitable use of this Noble Phantasm is for shapeshifters who can change their body size. A normal shot at normal size becomes a terrifying heavy cannon in the hands of a giant beast that a shapeshifter has transformed into!

If this bullet has any special effects, they will be amplified accordingly, unleashing unimaginable power!
Now, with Old Rex over 5,000 meters tall, this gun is also over 5,000 meters long, with a caliber of at least tens of meters. What was originally an ordinary bullet would probably become tens of meters thick and hundreds of meters tall, standing on the ground like a skyscraper!
Even without any special effects, the power of such a bullet is evident!
So, if Old Rex had loaded this gun with an activity inhibitor targeting the Divine Remains... then the effect of that inhibitor should be enough to put the Divine Remains back into slumber!

However, the problem is that the special effects of Noble Phantasms also need to be conserved.

By changing its size, it gained a huge boost in power, and the energy required for this boost naturally has to be paid for by the user.

Using the enlarged Ruyi Suixin Gun, each shot requires not only bullets but also a corresponding amount of vital energy. If it were just a matter of increasing one's size by several or even ten times, it would be fine. However, Rex has become a super giant with a height of five thousand meters. At this size, firing a shot would consume an astronomical amount of vital energy!
Only one chance!
Caroline gritted her teeth. Although the patriarch was as powerful as a god in her heart, she simply couldn't believe that he could fire a second shot under the mechanism of the Ruyi Suixin Gun!

I must hold onto the divine remains!
As Caroline made up her mind, the berserk God noticed Rex suddenly appearing "not far away." As the only living creature in his field of vision that could rival him in size, the God instinctively took him as the target of his anger and roared at old Rex!

Just like the previous roar at Luo Jun, visible sound waves shot out, compressing the air and spreading forward. Wherever they passed, the ground was once again overturned by the terrifying sound waves!
Unfortunately, at this size, the sound travels too slowly. It will probably take at least a few minutes for the sound waves to reach old Rex!
Taking advantage of this moment, old Rex raised his enormous Ruyi Quan (a type of cannon), and the passage of the barrel created a huge sonic boom that disturbed the clouds and changed the color of the sky!
"One second!"

Old Rex silently counted in his mind...

Seeing that the sound was not traveling fast enough, the divine corpse opened its mouth again. This time it did not roar, but you could see that there was a faint flash of lightning in the center of its throat!
Just then, a giant dragon hundreds of meters long suddenly appeared in front of the god's chest and flew upwards at an extremely high speed. When it reached the god's neck, it suddenly changed its shape. The originally slender dragon body became short and thick, and the dragon's head became a thick bone horn. Although it no longer had wings, it still moved upwards at an extremely fast speed due to inertia, as if it had hit the god's chin with a heavy punch!

With a bang, caught off guard, the divine corpse was forced to shut its mouth and raise its head. At the same time, the lightning that had reached its throat exploded in its mouth and squeezed out through its teeth and the corners of its mouth. For a moment, lightning flashed for ten miles around, but it obviously could not reach old Rex!
"Three seconds!" Old Rex had already steadied his gun. His enormous size meant he couldn't be as agile as an ordinary person. Being able to lower the vertical gun horizontally in three seconds was already quite fast!
Suddenly punched, the god was enraged. He opened his mouth, which was billowing black smoke, and immediately abandoned his attack on Rex. He raised his big hand and grabbed at Caroline!
Although its size was similar to that of Old Rex's Heaven and Earth, the Divine Corpse's movements were much more agile and swift. When this palm struck, Caroline had no time to dodge. In her panic, she could only shrink from a giant beast into a small bird and squeeze through the gaps between the Divine Corpse's fingers, flapping her wings vigorously in hopes of avoiding the Divine Corpse's attention!

To the mortal, a small bird is about the size of a bacterium and would normally be impossible to notice. Caroline plans to hide in this way for a while. If the mortal can stand there wondering for a few seconds in order to find her, then the mission is accomplished!

However, Caroline hadn't flown far when she felt a divine sense locking onto her!
