Chapter 818 Transformation into a Divine Being! Inviting the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint to Test His Sword [Please Subscribe]

The [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] suddenly exerted its power, helping to absorb and refine the raging spiritual energy of heaven and earth that surged into Zhou Chun's body. This was undoubtedly an unexpected joy for Zhou Chun.

With the help of this treasure, his stress instantly decreased by 10-20%.

In many cases, a difference of just one point can be enough to determine life or death!

With the pressure lessened, Zhou Chun had more energy to deal with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that was about to burst him.

The "Cataclysm of Primordial Qi" is feared by so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators, which is certainly not as simple as it seems on the surface.

If a large influx of pure spiritual energy could burst a Nascent Soul cultivator, then Nascent Soul cultivators would be far too cheap!

In fact, the real danger of the "Celestial Tribulation" lies in the fact that a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth surges into the body and washes it away. If the person facing the tribulation is unable to guide and refine it, it will gradually wash away the cultivator's essence, energy and spirit, which is commonly known as "Dao Transformation".

Dao transformation means assimilating with the Great Dao, unknowingly returning one's cultivation to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!

In the process of Taoist transformation, there are great terrors as well as great opportunities!

During the process of Dao transformation, the cultivator's contact with the power of the laws of heaven and earth is clearer than ever before, as if looking at the lines on the palm of one's hand, with every detail clearly visible.

If one can comprehend the mysteries of the Great Dao's laws during this process and use the power of the Great Dao's laws to regulate the whole body, then the "calamity of primordial energy" can be resolved, and the danger of Dao transformation can be averted.

Zhou Chun had previously tried to comprehend the power of the Great Dao Laws, but his gains were minimal.

Even though he held the [Mother Stone of Ten Thousand Gold], a spiritual object containing innate Daoist inscriptions, and examined it repeatedly, he still didn't gain much.

That's why he doesn't want to waste too much time on things that require a lot of investment but yield little return.

However, at this moment, he does not need to deliberately try to capture the operation of the power of the laws of heaven and earth, and he can easily perceive the trajectory of the power of the laws of heaven and earth.

The Tao gives birth to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang transform into the Five Elements, and the Five Elements give rise to all things!

Everything in the world is divided into Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. Even the forces of wind, thunder, ice, light, and darkness are all derived from the laws of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

Therefore, the power of the Great Dao Laws that cultivators seek to master generally refers to the Great Dao Laws of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

Zhou Chun cultivates metal-elemental techniques, which are most compatible with the metal elemental law among the Five Elements Great Laws.

Therefore, although he can now perceive the existence of all the Yin-Yang and Five Elements laws, the one he can perceive most clearly and intimately is the power of the Metal element law.

Sharp, hard, tearing, destroying...

The various characteristics of the laws of the Golden Path were now manifesting in Zhou Chun's mind, many of which he had never even heard of before.

The Tao gives birth to all things; this is not just a casual saying.

Zhou Chun had no doubt that if someone could fully comprehend and master the characteristics and changes of the Golden Element Dao Law, he would be able to create a world composed of the Golden Element Dao Law!

Perhaps in that world, all life is made of metal!

Perhaps a sword or a knife represents a life!

Who says life has to be made of flesh and blood?

Who dares to say that those who are different cannot attain enlightenment?

Since trees, rocks, ice, snow, and fire can all generate spirituality and give birth to spirits, why can't metal have life?

In a daze, Zhou Chun seemed to have an epiphany.

His consciousness drifted, as if he wanted to follow his thoughts and search for a way to create a metal world.

This is undoubtedly wishful thinking!

It's not that his idea was wrong, but that such skill was beyond the reach of a mortal cultivator who hadn't even succeeded in the Nascent Soul stage.

This is precisely the most dangerous part of comprehending the power of the Great Dao's laws.

Many times you think you are attaining enlightenment, and you really are.

However, because their personal cultivation is not profound enough, they cannot support themselves to explore the power of the Great Dao Laws in depth. Once they forcibly explore and pursue the mysteries of the Great Dao that they are not qualified to touch, they will be assimilated by the power of the Great Dao Laws and become a part of the Great Dao Laws of Heaven and Earth!

The Tao is invisible; those who see the Tao are in danger of being transformed by it!

This point has been emphasized in the insights left by senior cultivators on the Nascent Soul stage.

Even so, once a cultivator truly comes into contact with the profound and mysterious laws of the Great Dao, all their thoughts are focused on comprehending the mysteries of the laws of the Great Dao, and they have no mind to think about the dangers involved!

Zhou Chun was undoubtedly in the most dangerous situation at this moment.

Driven by delusions, he attempted to explore the profound mysteries of the highest principles of the Great Dao, and he has already embarked on the path of transforming into the Dao.

If he cannot extricate himself in time and return from the path of transformation, he will surely be completely transformed into the Dao of Heaven and Earth!

At this critical moment, what pulled him back from the danger of becoming a Dao cultivator was once again the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar], an ancient human sacrificial artifact!

At that moment, the blue light formed by the power of the [Purifying Holy Water] erupted once again within Zhou Chun's body according to the time he set, cleansing his physical body and soul.

Washed by the blue light, a cool sensation brought a moment of clarity to Zhou Chun's mind, who was immersed in comprehending the laws of the Great Dao.

In that instant of clarity, he realized the perilous situation he was in and immediately broke out in a cold sweat!

Once one is fully conscious and understands their situation, things become much easier.

Zhou Chun quickly managed to snap himself out of his state of enlightenment through self-suggestion.

Looking at himself now, he realized that because he had been so engrossed in enlightenment, he had completely neglected to restrain and guide the raging spiritual energy of heaven and earth within his body.

Even with three treasures automatically absorbing and refining the raging spiritual energy of heaven and earth that surged into his body, he was still bleeding from every pore, and his meridians and internal organs had suffered extensive tearing and rupture.

At the same time, his main nascent soul and second nascent soul, despite having refined countless amounts of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, were still listless and their nascent soul spirits had become quite ethereal.

This is a manifestation of having one's vital energy and spirit washed away by the "Cataclysm of Vital Energy"!

If he cannot wake up from the state of transformation in time, his essence, energy and spirit will dissipate faster and faster as he goes deeper and deeper on the path of transformation.

In the history of the cultivation world, there was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator who, due to his excessive immersion in comprehending the power of the Great Dao Laws, unknowingly embarked on the path of Dao Transformation. As a result, after hundreds of years of seclusion, he vanished without a trace, his body scattered throughout the world!

Therefore, even cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage will act with great caution when comprehending the power of the Great Dao Laws.

Most of the time, they don't directly touch the long river of the Great Dao Laws, but instead comprehend and cultivate by observing the innate Dao texts or things that are manifestations of the power of the Great Dao Laws.

While this method is not as efficient as directly touching the Great Dao's laws, it is safer and worry-free, as one doesn't have to worry about unknowingly transforming into the Dao.

However, although Zhou Chun's energy and spirit had been greatly diminished, he had not gained nothing.

The insights I gained during the process of transforming into the Dao were all real and tangible rewards.

At this moment, his understanding and control of the laws of the Golden Element are unmatched by any fifth-order being!

With a thought flashing through his mind, he immediately used his control over the laws of the metal element to draw upon the metal elemental energy within his body to replenish himself.

At the same time, based on his understanding of the power of the laws of the Golden Path, he made some modifications and adjustments to his own cultivation technique, the Golden Cauldron Profound Technique, and refined the magical power within his body.

Almost all cultivation techniques in the cultivation world can only allow cultivators to reach the Nascent Soul stage at most!

This is because after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, each cultivator's cultivation method will be created or improved by themselves.

This custom-made and improved cultivation method is only applicable to this Nascent Soul stage cultivator. If others try to cultivate it, they will almost certainly suffer from qi deviation!

Zhou Chun is simply pushing this process forward.

But this push had an immediate and noticeable effect!

The originally wild and unruly spiritual energy of heaven and earth became much more docile under his refined magical power, and he was also able to continuously draw out the metal-attribute spiritual energy from it to nourish himself.

More importantly, as his understanding and control of the power of the laws of the Golden Element have deepened, he has been able to use the power of the laws of the Golden Element to transform himself.

Under the transformation of the power of the Golden Element Dao Law, several golden Dao Runes appeared on Zhou Chun's skull, which were the manifestation of the power of the Golden Element Dao Law that he had mastered.

By imprinting the power of the Great Dao Laws he has mastered into his body in the form of Dao script, his body will gradually transform into an acquired Dao body!

Once a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, the advantage brought by their spiritual root aptitude becomes very small.

Once they reach the Nascent Soul stage, they no longer care about spiritual roots or aptitude; they only look at the completeness of their respective Dao bodies!

The higher the completeness of the Dao Body, the deeper the mastery of the power of the Great Dao Laws, the faster the cultivation speed, the easier it is to break through realms, and even the stronger the supernatural powers and magic power!

At this stage, it truly depends entirely on the cultivator's own acquired comprehension and effort.

Therefore, those cultivators who initially lacked spiritual root aptitude but were able to reach this stage often surpassed those who relied on superior innate spiritual root aptitude and good family background.

Zhou Chun used the power of the Golden Element Great Dao Law he had mastered to generate Dao runes within his body, embarking on the path of transforming his Dao body. As a result, the "Cataclysm of Primordial Qi" was no longer a great threat to him.

The difference between a Dao body and a mortal body lies in the ability to contain the power of the Dao's laws within oneself, while the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is merely a product derived from the power of the Dao's laws.

After Zhou Chun embarked on the path of transforming his Dao body, the violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth, once it entered his body, not only could no longer cause him much harm, but was instead absorbed and refined by the Dao runes within his body.

He was even able to manipulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth out of thin air by controlling the power of the laws of the Great Dao.

This is already a skill possessed by a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

Therefore, once the Daoist script was generated within his body, he was considered to have passed the "Cataclysm of Primordial Qi".

Having learned from his near-death experience, Zhou Chun immediately poured the remaining Pure World Holy Water from the Pure World Divine Jar onto his main nascent soul after the Daoist runes emerged within his body. He also put the Mysterious Sound Dao Tea he had obtained from Venerable Changchun into his mouth. At the same time, the purple sun transformed from the Purple Flower Demon Subduing Spiritual Light suddenly appeared above the main nascent soul's head.

His preparations were undoubtedly thorough, but the "inner demon tribulation" he encountered when breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage was far more powerful than the "inner demon tribulation" he faced when forming the Infant stage.

Zhou Chun was so well prepared that he was easily deceived at the beginning and fell into the inner world of his inner demons.

Compared to the inner demon illusions experienced during the Nascent Soul stage, this time the inner demon world was empowered by the laws of the Great Dao, truly weaving a real inner demon illusion world.

Zhou Chun's consciousness was pulled into that real inner demon illusion world, and all his memories were directly read, leaving no secrets whatsoever!

In this situation, his greatest fears and desires were all manifested by his inner demons.

Zhou Chun is also a human being, and as a human being, he has seven emotions and six desires.

The inner demon landscape can satisfy his desires 100% and manipulate his emotions 100%, making him so immersed in it that he can't extricate himself.

Once he becomes too engrossed in it and sinks deeper and deeper, he will eventually be led astray by his inner demons and wander down a path of no return!

There was once a human cultivator who was trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. He was lucky enough to survive the "Celestial Tribulation," but was eventually taken advantage of by his inner demons, who manipulated his mind and suddenly killed all the cultivators in his own sect.

In his mind, all those he killed were his enemies and aliens!

Ultimately, he was controlled by his inner demons and committed suicide!

Zhou Chun had this concern in mind when he asked Tai Geng Divine Venerable to transform into his protector.

But what Zhou Chun never expected was that, just as he was going through his "inner demon tribulation," the thing he had been worried about actually happened!

Suddenly, a blue phantom appeared outside the Zhou family's mountain gate, revealing the figure of a giant blue phoenix.

It's the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint!

This demon saint actually showed up outside the Zhou family mountain gate in his true form at this most critical moment!

Her swaggering appearance was immediately noticed by the avatar of the God Tai Geng.

Seeing this, the avatar of the Divine Lord Tai Geng immediately appeared, glaring angrily at the giant azure phoenix and shouting, "Azure Phoenix Demon Saint, what is your purpose in appearing here?"

Facing his questioning, the Azure Phoenix spoke in human language with a mocking look in its eyes: "Tai Geng, your true form is in the Great Zhou, isn't it? If this avatar is destroyed by me, I wonder if you'll feel any regret!"

"You dare, you monster!"

The avatar of the Tai Geng God frowned, his killing intent fully revealed, and shouted loudly. The Tai Geng Tian Xin Sword appeared in his hand, and he directly drew the sword at the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint.

At the same time, Luo Qingni, Zhou Zhiying, and Zhou Xinyuan, three Nascent Soul stage cultivators, also activated the [Three Phases Annihilation Formation] with all their might.

Even Zhou Chun's five demon king spirit pets each occupied their positions around Kunwu Peak, ready to set up the "Heavenly Absolute Four Symbols Formation" to protect their master at any time.

Although they all knew that everything they were doing was in vain in the face of a sixth-order demon saint, none of them backed down even a step!

This scene was witnessed by the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint.

Her gaze lingered briefly on Feng Yuanjun, who had condensed nine true fire phoenix feathers, before she sneered, "A bunch of ants trying to stop this saint? How laughable!"

Before she finished speaking, a ball of pure blue flame spewed from her mouth and flew towards the Zhou family's mountain gate.

When the pure blue flame was spat out from the mouth of the Azure Phoenix, it was only the size of a water vat. However, during its flight, it naturally absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. By the time it reached the vicinity of the Zhou family's mountain gate, it had already transformed into a sea of ​​fire stretching for thousands of feet!

As soon as this sea of ​​fire approached the Zhou family's mountain gate formation, the power of the formation was directly melted by the terrifying high temperature of the flames!

Faced with such a sixth-tier technique, the [Three-Phase Annihilation Formation], a formation only used to deal with fifth-tier powerhouses, is nothing more than a toy.

The Azure Phoenix Demon Saint's [Azure Phoenix Sacred Flame] is far more powerful than the [Samadhi Divine Flame] which has no master to control.

What powerful flames!

As Feng Yuanjun sensed the terrifying power contained within the azure flames, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

She had witnessed the power of the complete Samadhi Divine Fire before, but even that Samadhi Divine Fire did not give her the same feeling.

If she dared to muster the courage to try her luck against that ball of Samadhi Divine Fire, she wouldn't dare to have any such thoughts about this blue flame.

She knew in her heart that if she really went up to try, she would most likely die on the spot!

At this moment, under the advance of the cyan flames, the array power of the [Three Phases Annihilation Array] collapsed step by step, and some Zhou family cultivators who were nearby even had flames erupt from their bodies and burned themselves to death.

Upon discovering this, Zhou Zhiying hurriedly used her magic to relocate the remaining cultivators to another location.

Although she knew that this approach was likely to be futile and that these people would probably still die in the end!

"Senior Taigeng!"

Instead of rescuing the person, Luo Qingni focused her attention on the incarnation of Tai Geng, the God of War.

She knew that at this moment, the only person who could possibly save the Zhou family and Zhou Chun was this senior Nascent Soul cultivator who had always taken good care of the Zhou family.

Suddenly, the avatar of the Tai Geng God Venerable unleashed a sword strike, a domineering and powerful sword aura slashing against the sea of ​​blue fire.

Under that domineering and unparalleled sword energy strike, the blue sea of ​​fire was actually split apart by a single sword, and most of it was extinguished and dissipated!

Seeing this, a look of surprise flashed in the Azure Phoenix's eyes, and it couldn't help but blurt out, "Sword Intent Slays Spirits! Tai Geng, your swordsmanship has actually improved again! What kind of fortuitous encounter have you had this time?!"

"What fortuitous opportunity have I obtained that I would tell this fiend like you?"

The avatar of the God Tai Geng glanced coldly at the Azure Phoenix, then said in an icy tone, "Since you dare to come here in person today, then leave your life behind!"

Hearing this, the Azure Phoenix couldn't help but laugh in anger, immediately bursting out with unrestrained laughter: "Hehehe, Tai Geng, you are indeed arrogant! Do you think I am that barbarian Nine Blades? Even if your true form were here today, I could come and go as I please!"

"Since the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint said so, why did he leave without saying goodbye?"

An aged voice suddenly rang out in the void, and then a green light suddenly burst out from somewhere in the void, forcing a figure out of the void.

Upon closer inspection, the figure turned out to be the true form of the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint.

Just as the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint was forced to reveal her true form, the laughing Azure Phoenix bird quickly transformed into a blue feather and flew back to her.

It turned out that she had already sensed something was wrong through the change in the attitude of the avatar of the deity Tai Geng, so she used a trick to try to leave the place first and then make a plan.

Unexpectedly, not only was his illusion easily seen through, but his true form, which had vanished into the void, was also forcibly forced out.

The Azure Phoenix Demon Saint was extremely confident in her Void Escape Technique, which was her greatest achievement in the laws of space. She was confident that once she used it, there was no one in this world who could interrupt her escape technique—not even half a hand!

But now her escape technique has been interrupted!

Judging from the magical attributes of the person who interrupted his escape technique, their identity is not difficult to guess.

"Old Ghost Changchun, you actually came in person! You actually dared to leave Changchun Valley!"

The Azure Phoenix Demon Saint's expression changed drastically as she looked towards a certain spot in the void, her voice filled with shock and panic as she shouted out the person's identity.

Yes, there are very few people in this world who can interrupt her Void Escape Technique, but Venerable Changchun, who has a peak mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, happens to be one of them!

However, according to the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint, Venerable Changchun has not left Changchun Valley for at least several thousand years!

Especially after he transformed into the Green-Robed Venerable and advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he never left Changchun Valley again.

Even when various alien races joined forces to invade the human race, Venerable Changchun was willing to pay any price to summon Venerable Guanghan, Venerable Lingfeng, and others to help, but refused to move an inch.

Under such circumstances, who would have thought that he would leave Changchun Valley for a junior who was about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage!

According to Qingluan Demon Saint's idea before she arrived, given that Jinjiaolong Saint agreed to help her restrain Changchun Venerable outside Changchun Valley, it would be enough to ambush one Lingfeng Venerable here!

Even if Venerable Lingfeng were lying in ambush here, she was fully confident that in the midst of her battle with Venerable Lingfeng, she could also kill the human cultivator who had already survived the "Crimson Tribulation of Yuan Qi".

Unexpectedly, Venerable Lingfeng did not come; instead, Venerable Changchun, the number one cultivator of the human race, did!

"Hehehe, I haven't left the valley for so long, do you all think I'm really about to enter the grave?"

Venerable Changchun smiled and looked at the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint, speaking softly as if he were conversing with a friend.

But in the eyes of the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint, his smile was clearly mocking him, the smile of a victor.

This shocked and enraged her, and she couldn't help but shout shrilly, "So what if you've come out, you old ghost Changchun? Do you really think you can kill this saint?!"

"How will you know it won't work if you don't try!"

Venerable Changchun replied with a light smile that remained unchanged, and then summoned a bronze sword box with a wave of his hand.

The moment the bronze sword case appeared, the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint sensed something was wrong.

She was also an ancient being among the demon race, having lived for many years, and had come into contact with similar antiques, such as bronze sword cases.

It is clear that the seemingly ordinary bronze material is actually a spirit metal made by smelting various rare spirit metals using secret methods from the upper realm. It is generally used to refine certain treasures with great power.

She didn't want to wait until the contents of the sword case came out before taking action, even though she was curious about what was inside.

"You old devil Changchun, you can play by yourself. This saint is not going to keep you company!"

With a fierce roar, she transformed into a streak of azure flame and fled at top speed.

When it comes to comprehending and applying the power of the laws of space, she is not as good as Venerable Changchun, but this is a real wind and fire escape technique, and it will not be so easy to stop it.

However, she seemed to have underestimated the supernatural powers of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!

Since Venerable Changchun advanced to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he has hardly made a move. Even when he has fought with others, it is a closely guarded secret, and he may not have used his true strength.

Moreover, he is now at the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!

Then, Venerable Changchun simply smiled and made a fist with one hand, as if he had plucked a string in the void. The Azure Phoenix Demon Saint, who had already fled a thousand miles away, immediately seemed to have run into an invisible spider web and was hanging in mid-air!

Then she heard Venerable Changchun's words, tinged with a hint of relief, "Fortunately, it was you, Azure Phoenix Demon Saint, who came today. Otherwise, if it had been Golden Horned Dragon Saint, I might have made a wasted trip!"

Before she could even understand the meaning of Venerable Changchun's words, she discovered that the bronze sword box had been completely opened at some point, revealing its contents.

Inside, there was a blood-stained, dark blue longsword!

This sword is about five feet long. Although it is called a sword, it can also be seen as a spearhead without a shaft. There are still reddish-brown bloodstains on the blade, and two ancient characters can be vaguely seen.

Those two characters may no longer be seen elsewhere, but anyone who sees them will naturally understand what they are called.

They are called—Heavenly Punishment!

This peculiar power even disregards spatial distance; even when separated by thousands of miles, the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint still learned of it.

"Heavenly Punishment! Heavenly Punishment!"

She quickly muttered those two words to herself, then her pupils constricted sharply, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This is the [Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword]!!!"

Before her exclamation had even faded, she screamed in terror, "Impossible! Wasn't the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword already ascended to heaven? How could it still be left in the human realm! This can't be the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword, it must be fake, it must be fake!!"

"Whether it's real or not, you, Azure Phoenix Demon Saint, will know once you try!"

Venerable Changchun smiled faintly, then bowed respectfully to the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword, saying, "Please, Venerable Heavenly Punishment, assist me in slaying the demon!"

"Slaying demons and eliminating evil is our bounden duty!"

A clear, cold voice rose from the dark blue longsword, and then the sword flew into the hand of Venerable Changchun on its own, where it was easily refined by his magic power.

Then, Venerable Changchun, holding a hiltless longsword, smiled slightly at the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint and said, "I am Changchun, please, Azure Phoenix Demon Saint, test your sword!"
