My cultivation method shines upon all heavens.

He couldn't help but look at the scroll before his eyes again:

[Martial Arts: Cloud Dragon Concealment (Low-grade Earth-level Technique; Perfected 39999/40000)]

While refining the "Moon Toad Scripture," the experience and insights gained from the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Realm) also significantly accelerated the cultivation progress of the "Cloud Dragon Hidden" (Cloud Dragon Hidden).

It is now only one step away from perfection.

Just then, the scroll trembled slightly, and the line of numbers jumped slightly.

[Cloud Dragon Conceals, Experience +1]

[Martial Arts: Cloud Dragon Concealment (Low-grade Earth-level Technique; Perfected 40000/40000)]

"hold head high--!"

A long, drawn-out dragon roar exploded in his mind.

In a daze, my vision was swallowed up by an endless expanse of white mist.

Amidst the rolling clouds, a white dragon is hidden.

The dragon's body stretched out and meandered, coiling and roaming, its scales appearing and disappearing in the depths of the clouds and mist.

However, in the blink of an eye, the white dragon had completely disappeared, with only its roar still echoing in one's ears.

"Boom—!"

The Heavenly Heart Scroll trembled, startling Lu Ming awake.

On the scroll, the text rippled out like water, then coalesced again:

[Martial Arts: Cloud Dragon Concealment (Low-grade Earthly Book; Perfected 40000/40000)] →

[Talent: Cloud Dragon Celestial Network (Supreme)]

At the same time, a torrent of information flooded into his mind:

"All tendons and muscles recede, cloud dragons sculpt the meridians, tendons move with thought, qi flows with the meridians, the body moves with the void..."

"The dragon's tendons move without obstruction, its speed unrestrained; the cloud-like veins gather qi, instantly connecting heaven and earth; the hidden veins conceal their traces, their qi mechanism leaving no trace..."

At this moment, Lu Ming's consciousness completely dispersed, looking down at his own body from a mysterious perspective.

He saw that the meridians covered his entire body, connecting his limbs and bones, joints and acupoints, layer upon layer, without any obstruction.

Its white color is tinged with a faint golden luster, and its surface is faintly shimmering with cloud patterns and dragon shadows. It is as supple as flowing silk, yet stronger than refined steel.

Qi and blood surge within it like the roar of a dragon, flowing freely and circulating like a river within the body.

He suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing deep within his pupils:

"Ordinary tendons transform into dragon tendons, common veins transform into cloud veins... Unparalleled speed, and the ability to conceal one's form?"

The Cloud Dragon Heavenly Network is a talent that can only be condensed when the cultivation of "Cloud Dragon Hidden" reaches its perfection.

It is both a physical endowment and a unique, innate skill.

Just like the Yin-Yang Dao Robe cultivated through the "Green Ox Transformation," it is both a physical talent and a defensive technique.

"Then let me see what kind of talent dares to call itself 'Unrivaled Speed'!"

A smile appeared on Lu Ming's lips, and he said softly, "Cloud Dragon Instant Shadow."

He stomped lightly on the ground.

The next instant, his figure vanished from the spot like smoke.

On the back side of Thousand Eyes Mountain, a golden light was rapidly traveling through the night.

At this moment, the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva transformed into a golden streak about a foot long and fled swiftly along the ground.

As it flew, it glanced back, but the purplish-blue figure that had made its heart pound did not follow.

A hint of relaxation finally surfaced in his tiger-like eyes, and he sneered inwardly:

"Hmph, no matter how cunning you are, you still have to drink my foot bath water."

It was absolutely certain at that moment that the human boy was definitely a spy left behind by that old bastard Zhang Jiao.

But so what?

No matter how powerful Zhang Jiao's cultivation is, his Thousand Eyes is no pushover.

As a powerful demon standing at the top of the Cangming Great World, who doesn't have one or two trump cards up their sleeve?

Once it finds a hiding place and recovers some of its original strength, it can turn around and crush him with a single finger.

It sneered and was about to slow down and stop.

Suddenly, the air around him changed slightly.

The Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva's tiger-like eyes suddenly narrowed, and he turned to look.

A dragon's roar suddenly resounded, the air currents surged, and a slender figure appeared beside it at some unknown time, walking side by side with it.

No matter how much it urged the golden light to leap across the ground, the opponent remained ever-present, neither fast nor slow, and could not be shaken off no matter what.

"What the hell is going on...?"

At this moment, even an ancient being that has endured countless ages cannot fathom how this scene before its eyes came about.

Even if it falls into the plains, its supreme supernatural powers are reduced to almost nothing.

The remaining portion was still enough to transform into unparalleled talent that remained within him, making him confident that he could easily dominate the seven realms of martial arts.

But today, a human boy with mediocre talent has displayed two supreme talents in succession, and has just managed to completely suppress it.

Is it because it has been sealed away for too long? The supreme talent known as the Treasure Raft Crown has become commonplace.

Lu Ming gave it no time to think.

The swirling purple aura gathered and compressed in his palm once more, and a purple sun the size of a fist shone brightly in his palm again.

"Bodhisattva, why the rush to leave? Take another hit from my Purple Sun's Fall!"

He suddenly flipped up and leaped into the air above Qianmu, pressing the purple sun in his palm straight down.

When the yang energy descends upon the body, the pupils of the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva shrink.

Immediately, a flash of inspiration struck his mind.

"So that's how it is... You old bastard! You're ruthless!"

Its eyes were bloodshot, and the shock and anger in its tiger eyes almost materialized.

It glared fiercely at Lu Ming, who was pressing down from above, and roared:

"If I die... you won't live either!"

As soon as it finished speaking, it suddenly flipped over, facing the falling purple sun head-on with its belly, completely giving up on dodging.

"boom--!"

The purple sun descended upon it, and the intense yang energy poured into its broken origin like magma, scorching its last remaining foundation.

However, it ignored everything and, to Lu Ming's horrified gaze, suddenly opened its blood-red maw.

"roar--!"

The tiger's roar shook the heavens!

The demonic sound burst forth from the tiger's mouth, causing the surrounding rocks to fall in a rustling sound.

Lu Ming's body stiffened abruptly, and his eyes instantly became unfocused.

The sound waves penetrated the Yin-Yang Daoist robe on the body's surface, directly entering the limbs, bones, and internal organs.

The bones trembled violently under the bombardment of the sound waves, emitting a series of fine creaking sounds, as if they were about to crack.

He bit his tongue hard, and the sharp pain, like an electric shock, pulled him back from his daze.

He stared intently at the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva below, the purple sun in his palm pressed against its abdomen, and gritted his teeth as he continued to press down.

The Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva's face was as ferocious as a ghost, and the tiger's roar and demonic sound continued endlessly, bombarding Lu Ming one after another, with the sound waves layered on top of each other like giant waves crashing on the shore.

This was his last and deepest trump card, which he had never used when facing Zhang Jiao or other demons.

But now, a mere human boy at the Marrow Refining Realm has forced it to reveal all its trump cards.

The human and the demon, both with an iron will to kill, were locked in a fierce stalemate.

More and more cracks appeared on Lu Ming's limbs and bones, covering them completely.

The Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva's essence was rapidly consumed under the scorching purple sun, and his dark blue tiger body became transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Time passes little by little.

"boom--!"

After a cup of tea, the human and the demon fell heavily to the foot of the mountain.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, and rubble flew everywhere, leaving a shallow crater in the ground.

Lu Ming slid down to the ground, his back against the stone wall, his breath as faint as a candle flickering in the wind.

The Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva collapsed in a pile of rubble a few steps away, his entire body almost transparent.

Both the human and the demon were barely breathing.

The Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva lay on his back on the ground, his deep blue tiger eyes gazing blankly at the night sky above.

After a long while, it slowly turned its head to look at Lu Ming, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of its mouth:

"Hehe...the human race...has many outstanding talents."

It paused, its voice weak yet heavy:

"Young man... I misjudged you. Your talent and decisiveness... far exceed my expectations."

Lu Ming remained silent.

At this moment, the toad's croaking, the tiger's roar, and the dragon's cry were all emanating from his body. The purple and blue Dao patterns flickered, and he was expelling the remaining demonic tiger roars from his body in this unique way.

Just now, he managed to withstand Qianmu's final desperate attack only by relying on the tacit cooperation between the five unique skills.

"Thank you for the compliment."

He coldly raised his eyes, looking at the increasingly transparent tiger shadow before him, his voice calm:

"Young Lu Ming...please, Bodhisattva, embark on your journey."

Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva was taken aback, then laughed heartily.

"Hahaha... It's so similar, so very similar!"

The laughter was hoarse and desolate, echoing for a long time at the foot of the empty mountain.

As it laughed, its tone abruptly changed, and its deep blue tiger eyes looked at Lu Ming one last time, filled with admiration:

"No...you will go further than him."

As soon as it finished speaking, it slowly closed its eyes and fell silent.

The tiger's body completely disintegrated into a ball of eerie blue flame, which flickered a few times in the night wind before silently extinguishing.

Only a few jade bones, no more than a foot long, remained in place, their surfaces warm and smooth, gleaming with a faint blue-white luster.

[Slay a Tier 1 demon, gain +1000 Heavenly Points]

[Celestial Point: 1006]

Lu Ming was slightly taken aback when he heard the notification in his mind.

"A Tribulation-level demon? What level is that? But I've certainly become rich in Heavenly Heart Points."

He moved his body with difficulty, picked up the jade bones one by one, and put them into his bosom.

He then leaned against the stone wall, looked up at the night sky, his eyes filled with exhaustion.

This is really tough!

To deal with a demon that was nearly exhausted, he narrowly escaped death several times, used all his trump cards, and was covered in wounds before finally bringing it to its doom.

But soon, he laughed at himself.

The Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva should be the one who is most unwilling to accept defeat.

He had painstakingly planned for decades, and even had two trump cards that he had never shown to anyone, yet in the end he died at the hands of a martial artist in the Marrow Refining Realm.

How pathetic, how tragic.

However, just now, when he used the five unique skills together, the effect was surprisingly good.

The lingering sense of disharmony vanished completely during that brief exchange.

Does this mean that his original idea was feasible?

He remembered the deadlock he had formed by the seven different paths in the realm.

Demons were never trustworthy from the beginning, and he never expected to get a real solution from Thousand Eyes.

Fate must always be in your own hands.

"no……"

He muttered to himself, "The combined power of five ultimate techniques is already overwhelming, let alone seven?"

"Moreover, what I will have to solve in the future is the fusion of seven talents, which is far more difficult than cultivation techniques."

Unless he has the same level of understanding as Xu Lingxian, there might be a sliver of a chance.

But this is clearly an unrealistic fantasy.

He couldn't very well let the Heavenly Heart Scroll take him to the Supreme Great World to ask the other party to help him predict his future, could he?

"Well, let's take it one step at a time. Perhaps we can look within the Great Zhao Kingdom to see if there's a solution."

He slowly rose, leaning against the stone wall, temporarily putting aside these unsolvable worries.

However, just as he was about to take a step, his expression changed slightly.

In the shadows beside the stone wall, a young man dressed in a Taoist robe had appeared out of nowhere, a smile playing on his lips as he watched him with great interest.
