Hell Emperor.

Chapter 394 Xia Wei - Beast Form
Sunrise time.

Xia Wei sat cross-legged on the top of an abandoned tower, concentrating and holding her breath, waiting for the sunrise. The cold wind blew her robe, causing the two braids on the back of her head to dance and flutter.

In the distant sky, a red sun is rising slowly. In the red glow that lights up the sky, a flash of purple light appears in an instant. It is the purple air coming from the east that only appears in the sky at sunrise.

This was the moment Xia Wei had been waiting for. She suddenly opened her eyes, and her pupils lit up with a brilliant purple color, which contrasted with the purple air coming from the east in the sky. In her clear and translucent eyes, a miniature of the entire world was reflected.

The purple air coming from the east was attracted by her and gathered in the depths of her pupils, making her already determined eyes even brighter. Brewing within them was the devilish light that could destroy everything.

The sun was high in the sky, and the magic light gradually faded away and disappeared. Xia Wei also completed this practice. If she wanted to continue to absorb the purple air from the east, she would have to wait until the next sunrise.

The purple air coming from the east is an extremely mysterious aura. Even though Xia Wei has practiced the magical skills taught by the King of Tang and can transform the power of the purple air coming from the east into an indestructible magic light, she still does not know what kind of mystery is hidden behind the purple air coming from the east.

After finishing her training, Xia Wei jumped off the tower and landed back on the ground nimbly.

Hearing this, Tianlang, who was leaning against the tower wall with his eyes closed and pretending to be asleep, opened his cold eyes and spoke slowly:
"The extraordinary skill you've cultivated is quite interesting. It can actually absorb the power of the purple energy from the east. I've never seen a skill that can achieve this level..."

Xia Wei crossed her arms and said disdainfully, "Is it rare to use the skills of the Eastern Purple Qi?"

"Of course it's strange." Tianlang answered without hesitation, "The Purple Air from the East is the most mysterious aura. Some people say that the Purple Air from the East is a sign of good fortune and can bring success and a good harvest. Some people also say that the Purple Air from the East is not as auspicious as it looks from the outside world. In fact, it is a very dangerous aura. If you can absorb a wisp of it and add it to your practice, it will definitely show extraordinary effects."

Xia Wei glanced at him and said, "It sounds like you know a lot about the Purple Air from the East."

Tianlang waved his hand and said, "Many years ago, the beast-formed envoys went out together to deal with an immortal who controlled the purple air from the east. However, the final result was not satisfactory. The beast-formed envoys suffered heavy casualties, but the immortal was safe and sound. It was from then on that I realized the terrifying power of the purple air from the east. Over the years, I have never seen an ordinary person who can control the magnificent and mysterious purple air from the east. I just didn't expect that you actually have a technique to absorb the purple air from the east..."

Xia Wei was alert and had a hostile look on her face: "Are you planning to take my skills? If you want to steal my skills, you have to get past me first!"

Tianlang shook his head: "Although your skills are unique, the skills of the Beast Hall are equally good. To be able to cultivate to my level, which immortal does not have a few magical skills? You should keep them for yourself."

After a pause, Tianlang could not help but say, "I am just curious and want to ask if you have any relationship with the immortal who controls the Purple Air from the East. As far as I know, that immortal triggered a war that affected the three realms... If you have any relationship with that immortal, I may have to change my plan. But now I see that you don't know anything about this at all. You just happened to learn the skills related to the Purple Air from the East."

Xia Wei snorted and said no more. Since she needed to borrow Tianlang's power to change the world in one fell swoop and save all living things, she had to go to the Witch God Temple with Tianlang.

Tianlang didn't care either. He was very happy that he had found Xiaoen's successor. The rage and persistence in Xia Wei were the qualities most needed in a beast user. Coupled with her qualifications, she might become the strongest beast user.

"Now, you are also a member of the Beast Master, holding the same ideals of saving the world as us. Under the name of Wolf Master, I will teach you the exclusive unique skills of the Beast Master, Beast Transformation."

What surprised Xia Wei was that she had never told Tianlang about the effect of the Purple Demon Pupil, but Tianlang wanted to teach her the unique skills of the Beast Master instead.

"What level of martial arts is this?" Xia Wei asked puzzledly.

Tianlang replied seriously: "The unique skills of the beast form master, what level of skills do you think it is? Of course it is a real immortal skill."

Xia Wei was stunned, suspecting that there was something fishy going on: "You passed on this unique skill to me, aren't you afraid that I will turn against you and use it against you?"

Tianlang was not worried, he was confident:
"This beast transformation is the temple's guardian skill. Only those who agree with the temple's philosophy and believe that people's hearts are filled with irreparable sins, and are willing to abandon their human bodies and transform themselves into beasts, can unleash the power of the beast transformation to its fullest extent. Even if people outside the temple learn it, they won't be able to exert any power because they can't follow through with the philosophy."

"Really..." Xia Wei was stunned, and finally understood why Tianlang was not worried at all.

Tianlang looked at Xia Wei and said thoughtfully, "I am a wolf-form user. The one you killed before was an owl-form user. Every beast-form user will release the beast in his heart under the power of beast transformation, and then find the corresponding beast form deep in his soul. I am very curious, what kind of beast lives in your heart when you are so furious..."

Xia Wei remained silent, and then heard Tianlang ask, "Tell me, what animal do you most want to be in your next life?"

"Animals? What are you talking about?" Xia Wei frowned.

Tianlang explained: "Generally speaking, the animal that the beast form wants to become the most in the next life is the corresponding beast form."

"What next life? I, Xia Wei, only seek this life, not the next. In this life, I will do my best to end the injustice of the world and make the world what I want it to be. I don't want to talk about the next life!"

Tianlang was helpless: "It's just a if, it's not the next life, isn't it okay to just if?"

Xia Wei understood, but she didn't want to be an animal: "Of course I want to continue to be a human in the next life. What's the point of being a monster? Not only do I have to be a human, I also have to be an immortal!"

Tianlang was stunned and had to continue to persuade him: "You can't use the power of animal transformation like this. Being a human doesn't count, you have to be an animal, a dragon or a phoenix. Don't you have any animal that you want to be or that you like?"

Xia Wei understood what he meant and fell into deep silence for a moment. She frowned and thought deeply. It seemed that she really didn't have any animal she wanted to be. Finally, she hesitated and said:

"As for animals, I would probably like to be a bird..."

"Bird? Why?" Seeing Xia Wei finally answer the question, Tianlang's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.

Xia Wei said seriously: "I want to be free and soar in the sky without any restrictions. I want to fly in the sky and appreciate the beauty of the world. I also want to spread my wings and fly all the way towards the sun, to places that no one has ever set foot on, to see what is there!"

Tianlang understood: "I see... It seems that your beast form should belong to a certain kind of bird. However, there are so many birds in this world. I don't know whether you are an iron-beaked black eagle, a golden-winged roc, or just another owl-form user. Let us wait and see. I will teach you the beast form transformation." Xia Wei was helpless. She only knew a few words. She could understand some simple ones, but she couldn't understand the martial arts manuals at all. She had to ask: "Would you like to give me a martial arts manual?"

Tianlang lowered his head, checked the four stitched pages in his hand, and took the time to answer: "Books? No, that method is too inefficient and should have been eliminated long ago."

As Tianlang finished speaking, a series of words appeared on the four stitched pages:
[Bookkeeping of life and death:]

[In the autumn of the 639th year of the Moro calendar, Tianlang spent one thousand Yin De to modify Xia Wei's martial arts file.]

[Beast Transformation (Beginner) has been added to the column of skills learned by Xia Wei. ]

Xia Wei's pupils trembled, with a hint of astonishment in them. She felt that there was suddenly some profound knowledge in her mind, which was the beast transformation mentioned by Tianlang.

What surprised Xia Wei the most was not the knowledge about beast transformation, but the torn paper in Tianlang's hand and the way he taught her beast transformation.

If Xia Wei remembered correctly, there seemed to be a torn page like this in the master's hand, but the torn page in the master's hand had more stitched sides than the one in Tianlang's hand, and it looked more worn.

"Wait...how did you do that?" Xia Wei asked after a brief hesitation.

Tianlang seemed to see her doubts and raised the torn page in his hand:

"Are you referring to my modification of the files? The files of all living beings in the world are recorded in the Book of Life and Death, and what I have in my hand is the main account stitching page of the Book of Life and Death. With it, I can modify the files of other living beings."

Seeing Xia Wei's astonishment, Tianlang said, "Now, you are also a member of the Beast Master. If you can perform great merits, while snatching the roster of the Wushen Temple's Book of Life and Death, you can also snatch the Wushen Temple's main account and present it to the Moluo Palace Master. Maybe you can also be appreciated by the Moluo Palace Master and get the main account suture page."

"Main ledger stitching page... modify the file..."

Xia Wei couldn't help but recall those familiar faces from the past. Could it be that the changes in her master's strength were all achieved by relying on the main account of the Book of Life and Death?
Tianlang put away the four stitched pages and spoke slowly, "Legend has it that the Great Emperor of Hell holds the Book of Life and Death in its complete form, and all the files of all living beings in the world are under his jurisdiction. He can raise all of a person's skills to an unprecedented level of holiness, or he can simply erase the files and make that person forget everything he has learned."

After a pause, Tianlang sighed, "The permissions of the four-sided stitched pages in my hand are far inferior to those of the complete Book of Life and Death. At most, it can only modify the level of the skills to the great perfection stage. However, its real use is not to modify the skills files, but to turn other creatures into beast-shaped ghosts."

Xia Wei seemed to remember something and asked, "Beast-shaped ghost? Didn't you use beast-shaped poison to turn those creatures into beast-shaped ghosts?"

Tianlang shook his head: "Beast Poison? Of course, we can use Beast Poison, but the efficiency of Beast Poison is too low. Besides, practitioners with high realms can more or less resist Beast Poison. It is faster to modify the file directly... Well, let's try Beast Transformation and see your own beast form."

Faced with Tianlang's urging, Xia Wei suppressed the doubts in her heart and focused her attention on another aspect.

Although she saw the four-sided sewing pages in Tianlang's hand, Xia Wei was cautious and did not reveal the news that her master was holding seven-sided sewing pages. Instead, she began to try the beast transformation that had just emerged in her mind.

Tianlang spoke slowly at the side: "If there is no suppression of the Equality Formation, I alone would be enough to sweep the entire Wushen Temple and get the roster... It's a pity that under the suppression of the Equality Formation, I can't exert such strength. Once you have completely mastered the beast transformation, you will have a greater chance of winning."

Xia Wei let out a loud cry, and spiritual energy surged all over her body. Boundless power seemed to be liberated from Xia Wei's heart, allowing her to abandon her human body and transform into a beast that roared proudly at the sky and the earth.

Tianlang opened his eyes wide. Time passed by little by little, but Xia Wei did not change. This made Tianlang confused: "What's wrong? Why doesn't she transform into a beast?"

Xia Wei was also puzzled: "I have done what the beast transformation said, but nothing has changed... Could this be a fake beast transformation?"

"What's fake? It's clearly recorded in your file."

Tianlang was extremely confused. As a beast-transformer, he had never seen such a situation before. Logically, under the effect of the beast-transformation, no matter who it was, they would turn into a wild beast, but Xia Wei did not change at all.

"Is there something wrong with the technique? Let me take a closer look... Wolf Eyes!"

Tianlang let out a low growl, his pupils shrank, and the whites of his eyes completely turned bright gold. There was a hint of sharpness and ferocity in his pupils. Under such a pair of eagle-like and wolf-like eyes, any enemy would feel instinctively afraid and turn around and flee, abandoning their weapons and armor.

However, when Tianlang's murderous eyes fell on Xia Wei, they completely changed. There was a hint of fear and disbelief in them, as if the person standing in front of him was not Xia Wei at all, but something even more terrifying.

"You...your beast form is actually..."

Tianlang was horrified, unable to believe what he saw, cold sweat broke out on his strong forehead, as if something incredible was happening that was completely beyond his understanding.

"What's wrong? What did you see?"

Xia Wei was puzzled and asked immediately, but no matter how she asked, Tianlang was vague and secretive about it, refusing to say a word more.

Xia Wei had a lot of doubts in her heart, but she couldn't get any answers from Tianlang, so she had to continue moving towards the Witch God Temple and embark on the journey of seizing the roster.

Although there was no answer, Xia Wei actually learned the beast transformation. This method was the magical method of the Beast Hall. Even though she could not transform into a beast like other beast users, it was still an extraordinary improvement for Xia Wei, allowing her strength to improve and her spiritual power to surge.

The effect of the entry-level beast transformation alone is so amazing. If it continues to improve, the strength will definitely be even stronger. So she devoted herself to research and figure out the mystery of the beast transformation.
