Chapter 199 Awakening, a Complete Transformation!

After a few days,

Inside a quiet bedroom at the Lingbao Pavilion headquarters in the Tianmu Mountains.

Lu Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly, then he slowly opened his eyes. What came into view was the familiar bedroom ceiling, and Little Fairy Doctor carefully preparing medicine beside him.

"You're awake?" Little Fairy Doctor noticed the movement immediately, put down the jade bowl in her hand, and quickly walked to the bedside. Her beautiful face showed undisguised concern and a hint of fatigue.

Lu Yu took a deep breath, feeling the transformative power within his body and the complete fusion of the Eight Divine Meridians, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "How long have I been unconscious?"

"It's been seven days." Little Fairy Doctor replied softly, her eyes full of heartache. "Your injuries this time were too severe. Even with the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, you were unconscious for a long time before you recovered."

"is it?"

"I feel like I'm in better shape than ever before..."

Lu Yu smiled calmly, reached out and took the jade bowl handed to him by Little Fairy Doctor, and drank the medicine inside in one gulp.

A warm current surged into his body, and he immediately felt much more energetic. Just as he was about to get up, he was suddenly surprised to find that his body was a completely different world—the blood flowing in his meridians seemed to contain explosive power, and every inch of his bones and muscles was radiating a shimmering light, with a toughness far exceeding that of the past!

With a slight thought, he subconsciously activated the technique of the Burning Heaven Glazed Body. His blood and qi surged violently, and a scorching, powerful force of qi and blood spontaneously burst forth, instantly condensing on his body into a tangible, crystal-clear crimson glazed armor!

The azure-colored armor shimmered with iridescent light, radiating a terrifying defensive power.

"This is... the Great Perfection of the Heaven-Burning Realm, the Glazed Armor!"

A look of surprise flashed in Lu Yu's eyes. He carefully sensed the power of this new physical body and was astonished to find that the strength of this body alone was already comparable to that of a Seven-Star Dou Zun!
The extreme pain he experienced during the process of stripping away his spiritual veins and fusing with the eight divine veins unexpectedly tempered his physical body to an unprecedented level, allowing him to reach the highest realm of the Burning Heaven Glazed Body!
Lu Yu raised his hand to dispel the crimson glass armor on his body. Upon careful perception, he discovered that his Dou Qi cultivation level remained at the three-star Dou Zun level and had not improved due to the breakthrough in his physical body.

"what?"

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow, raised his hand and pointed his fingers, circulating his internal fighting spirit and gathering it at his fingertips, transforming it into a wisp of purple-gold fighting spirit. Its color was no longer the pure gold of the past, but had transformed into a noble and profound purple-gold color!

Lu Yu was slightly taken aback, then focused his mind into his body. He saw that the pagoda standing in the center of his dantian, which was originally dark, was now quietly spreading with countless mysterious and complex purple patterns!
These patterns flow slowly as if they were alive, exuding an ancient and noble aura, making the entire pagoda appear even more mysterious and unpredictable.

Even the pagoda-like flames that coiled around the tower transformed into blazing and mysterious purple-gold flames, exuding an oppressive aura that sent shivers down one's spine. The fire dragons formed from the condensed flames swirled and danced, their spirituality greatly enhanced, as if they had come to life.

"The Pagoda...has it transformed?"

A glint of light flashed in Lu Yu's eyes. He clearly sensed that this transformation was not an improvement in rank, but a sublimation originating from the very source.

Although it didn't directly lead to a surge in strength, it greatly increased the upper limit of growth. Even the transformed Floating Pagoda Flame and Battle Qi became exceptionally powerful.

"But who knows just how powerful this transformed Purple-Gold Pagoda Battle Qi truly is..."

Lu Yu looked at the wisp of noble and profound purple-gold battle aura swirling around his fingertips, then turned his gaze to the woman beside him dressed in white, his eyes filled with curiosity and eagerness.

"Xian'er, you are now at the peak of the Dou Zong realm. How does the flow of Dou Qi within your body feel compared to before?" he asked gently.

Although Little Fairy Doctor was a little puzzled as to why he suddenly asked this question, she still smiled slightly and replied after carefully sensing it: "The battle qi cultivated by the Great Floating Pagoda Technique is already several times more condensed and powerful than ordinary cultivation techniques. Now that it has reached the peak of the Dou Zong realm, it is even more like an abyss and a sea. It seems that... it has already touched the barrier of the Dou Zun realm."

Her tone carried an unprecedented confidence and expectation.

“Very good.” Lu Yu nodded, his eyes brightening slightly. “Then I’ll let you experience another form of the Floating Pagoda Battle Qi. Relax your mind and do not resist.”

Before he could finish speaking, and before Little Fairy Doctor could even ponder the meaning of that other form, Lu Yu's wisp of purple-gold battle qi shot out like a serpent and gently touched her wrist.

The moment the fighting spirit entered her body, Little Fairy Doctor's delicate body trembled violently, and her expression changed drastically!
"This is……"

She felt an indescribable, supremely powerful force, carrying an aura of absolute suppression, instantly invade her meridians.

The powerful Dou Qi that was originally surging within her body, belonging to the peak of Dou Zong, was like a subject of a king in the face of this wisp of purple-gold Dou Qi. It had no power to resist and immediately fell silent, dissipating and shrinking on its own!

What horrified her even more was that this foreign Pagoda Battle Qi did not use any complicated sealing techniques. It simply existed and directly suppressed and imprisoned the Battle Qi in her body!
The powerful Dou Zong aura around her receded rapidly like a tide, and her cultivation level visibly dropped. In the blink of an eye, she was forcibly suppressed to the Dou Huang level!

"How can this be……"

As Little Fairy Doctor felt the completely sealed power within her body, her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief and shock. She and Lu Yu both cultivated the Great Floating Pagoda Technique, which originated from the same source, so they should have been compatible with each other.

However, Lu Yu's transformed purple-gold battle qi was of such high quality and noble origin that it completely surpassed her battle qi, creating a bloodline-suppressing effect!
Without needing hand seals or secret techniques, a mere wisp of battle qi can forcibly seal the cultivation of a peak Dou Zong expert down to the peak Dou Huang!

The power and domineering nature of the Purple Gold Pagoda's fighting spirit have exceeded all reason.

Seeing the utterly shocked expression on Little Fairy Doctor's face, Lu Yu was slightly taken aback, then his eyes flashed with astonishing light. He hadn't expected the power of her transformed battle qi to be so immense!
"In this way, I won't need to spend time casting the Serpent Sealing Spell during battle. I can simply channel my battle aura into the enemy's body to gradually seal them..."

Thinking of this, he felt an overwhelming joy. He stepped forward, picked up the still-astonished Little Fairy Doctor, spun her around twice in the air, and laughed loudly, "Fairy, this is wonderful!"

Little Fairy Doctor gasped in surprise at his sudden action, then, sensing his genuine joy, her slight frustration from the sealed cultivation vanished. She couldn't help but smile and gently punched his shoulder: "Put me down! It was just a test... Your fighting spirit is too much." That night, the two were naturally excited and celebrated their unexpected discovery of this formidable ability.

As for how to celebrate, that goes without saying.

—————————————————————

The next day, on the square of Tianshan Terrace.

"Young Lu, you've finally come to your senses and want to spar with me?"

The massive, towering figure of Hei Qing, with a booming voice, strode forward, his eyes gleaming with eager battle intent. As a member of the Ancient Void Dragon clan, his physical body was incomparably strong, and he always relished head-on clashes.

Lu Yu smiled calmly, cracked his knuckles, and said, "I have recently mastered the art of body refinement and am looking for someone to spar with and verify my skills. I have searched the entire Tianmu Mountain and found that only you, senior, have the strength and qualifications to do so."

Upon hearing this, Hei Qing burst into laughter: "You've got good taste, kid!"

"Come on, let me practice with you!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a loud "boom" was heard—

The two stepped forward simultaneously, their figures soaring into the sky. Neither of them used their battle qi; they clashed fiercely using only their pure physical strength!

"Bam—!"

A muffled, deafening roar exploded in the arena, like two primordial beasts colliding head-on. The shockwave from the collision rippled wildly in all directions, instantly shattering the solid stone slabs beneath their feet.

In this collision, Lu Yu staggered back dozens of steps, while Hei Qing remained firmly in place, completely unmoved.

However, the two reacted very differently.

A barely perceptible glint of joy flashed in Lu Yu's eyes.

Hei Qing looked surprised and laughed loudly, "Good lad! You've got some skills! Let's go again!"

Having said that, he stopped suppressing his internal fighting spirit, and a surge of dark golden fighting spirit burst forth, causing his aura to suddenly surge, clearly indicating that he was about to get serious.

Lu Yu's gaze sharpened, and in the blink of an eye, the purple-gold Floating Pagoda Battle Qi silently covered his arms, once again meeting Hei Qing's attack!

Rumble!
Fists and palms clashed, fighting spirit surged, and invisible waves of energy shot straight into the sky.

After several rounds, Hei Qing's initially exhilarating expression gradually turned into surprise and doubt.

"Wait...something's wrong!"

He suddenly pulled back, raised his hands, and carefully sensed the significantly sluggish flow of his battle qi. His large, round eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Young Lu! What kind of evil trick is that?!"

Hei Qing couldn't help but shout, "Why do I feel... getting weaker the more I fight? My battle qi seems to be entangled by something, circulating slower and slower, and even my strength is dropping!"

He clearly sensed that every time he clashed with Lu Yu, a faint, strange force seeped into his body through the point of contact. This force did not cause direct harm, but it clung to him like a persistent ailment, suppressing his powerful battle aura and causing his cultivation to be sealed layer by layer, constantly weakening him!
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu stopped his attack, looked at his fists which were enveloped in purple-gold light, and a satisfied smile slowly appeared on his lips.

The sealing power of the Purple Gold Pagoda's battle qi... is indeed effective even against high-level Dou Zun!
After a few hours,

The earth-shattering collisions on the training ground had long since subsided, replaced by Hei Qing's slightly frustrated, heavy breathing. The powerful dark golden battle aura around him had become dim and unclear, as if shrouded in an invisible shackle, its circulation extremely sluggish, no longer possessing its previous ferocity and dominance.

"I'm not fighting anymore..."

Hei Qing leaped back more than ten feet, waving his hands repeatedly, his large, copper-bell-shaped eyes filled with frustration and disbelief. Feeling his cultivation suppressed to the point of almost dropping to the low-level Dou Zun level, he roared, half-laughing, half-crying:

"Lu boy! What kind of fighting spirit is this? It's too unfair! There's no way to fight against it!"

He shook his slightly numb arm, his tone full of helplessness: "I can't use any of my cultivation at all. The more I fight, the weaker I get. If this continues, I'm afraid you'll force me back to the Dou Zong realm! This fight is so frustrating!"

The Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void was known for its powerful physique and formidable fighting spirit, and was always renowned for its endurance and overwhelming force. When had they ever encountered such a bizarre situation where their cultivation level seemed to regress the more they fought? This was far more unbearable than any forceful attack.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu slowly withdrew the purple-gold battle aura surrounding him. Looking at the sullen Hei Qing, he couldn't help but laugh loudly, "This junior has only just mastered this power and couldn't control himself for a moment. I hope Senior Hei Qing will not take offense."

Hei Qing stepped forward and patted Lu Yu heavily on the shoulder. Although his tone was sullen, there was no anger in his eyes, but rather a hint of amazement: "Good lad! I really can't figure you out anymore. This kind of technique is simply the nemesis of all close combat! Who will dare to go head-to-head with you in the future?"

He shook his head and sighed, "Your fighting spirit is a bit too domineering."
