Chapter 676 - 675: Transformation

’So this is the secret of the Holy Spirit Body?’

A slight smile touched Yang Xiao’s lips.

At this moment, his aura had intertwined with Yun’Er’s Five Elements Holy Spirit Qi, nearly fusing into one. It was at this precise moment that Yang Xiao finally discovered the ultimate secret of the Holy Spirit Body.

The so-called Holy Spiritual Qi.

Was actually a diluted form of Origin Power.

Or rather, a power similar to Origin Power.

This power allowed Yun’Er to cultivate all sorts of attributes and continuously promoted her growth, ultimately creating a constitution no weaker than a Sacred Body—and perhaps even stronger than an ordinary one.

It was just like...

’The Essence Qi produced by my Heaven and Earth Origin Flame!’

Of course.

The Essence Qi from Yang Xiao’s Heaven and Earth Origin Flame could only be used for strengthening. The Holy Spiritual Qi, however, also possessed an accommodating nature. It could utilize all the powers between heaven and earth to continuously feed back into itself, making its user stronger.

This was an extremely important discovery for Yang Xiao.

At the same time.

He had also received immense benefits from this blending of auras.

This was especially true for his earth, water, and Fire Element Divine Pills. Although they had become extremely powerful after integrating the Chaos Secret Pattern, they were still inferior to the Fire Element Divine Pill nurtured by the Heaven and Earth Origin Fire, and they also couldn’t compare to the Gold Element Divine Pill nurtured by the Gold Element Origin Power. The gap between them had been nearly tenfold.

But now...

Not only had the power of Yang Xiao’s Fire Element Divine Pill, nurtured by the Heaven and Earth Origin Fire, increased again—almost surpassing the limits of the Great Divine Power Realm and approaching the Demigod Realm—

But his originally very ordinary earth, water, and Fire Element Divine Pills had also vaguely reached the Ninth Level of Great Divine Ability Realm.

Although they were still a bit short of the Peak and there was still a gap compared to the Fire Element Divine Pill nurtured by the Heaven and Earth Origin Fire.

However, this gap had shrunk from the original tenfold difference to only about twofold.

In other words, the power of these three Divine Pills had instantly increased by about five times.

For Yang Xiao, this was absolutely wonderful news.

’Originally, my Five Elements Divine Pills were severely unbalanced. Even when I formed the Five Elements Formation, I couldn’t truly unleash their power. But now, although my strongest Fire Element Divine Pill hasn’t improved much, once the Five Elements Formation is assembled, its power will be more than ten times stronger than before. It can unleash several dozen times the power of a single Divine Pill.’

With this, Yang Xiao could defeat opponents four or more Tiers higher than him, relying on just these five Divine Pills.

Combined with the Bloodthirsty Divine Sword and his other various techniques...

If there had been some risk before when Yang Xiao fought against a Tier Three True God.

Then now...

It was almost certain that as long as they weren’t geniuses capable of fighting above their Tier, no Tier Three True God would be a match for Yang Xiao.

’But the combat power of a Tier Three True God is still a bit too weak, after all.’

Yang Xiao couldn’t help but frown.

He knew he had done well enough in this life.

His ability to fight above his rank had almost surpassed that of his first life.

Possessing the strength of a Tier Three True God with a cultivation at only the Peak of the Small Divine Power Realm—if word of this got out, it would surely shock the world.

However...

He was still too weak.

His cultivation was too weak.

No matter how many tiers he could fight above his own.

His strength was only equivalent to a Tier Three True God.

Even with the Divine General Talisman, he could at most contend with a Tier Eight True God, a Divine Venerable Level existence.

But the opponents appearing around him recently...

...were all Divine King Level existences.

Just like last time.

If it hadn’t been for Yue Lingxi’s help.

He would have died at the hands of that fellow overflowing with Evil Qi long ago!

This level of strength was far from enough!

’Right, that Evil Qi!’

A glint flashed in Yang Xiao’s eyes.

Previously, while exploring the Holy Spiritual Qi, he had gained a deeper understanding of these auras. With a thought, he focused his consciousness on the residual Evil Qi that the Bloodthirsty Divine Sword had fed back to him after he killed the Seven Evils.

Upon this observation...

His expression changed instantly.

’Star Evil! This is Star Evil Qi. It contains an extremely complete Star Power. The only person who would send a Divine King who cultivates Star Power to kill me... is probably him.’

Nangong Xinghui.

Yang Xiao had already suspected that this guy wouldn’t let things go, but he never expected...

...that he would be so insidious.

He clearly wanted to kill him.

Yet he deliberately left only to send someone else to do the job.

If it weren’t for the insights he’d gained while studying the Holy Spiritual Qi, which made his perception of auras increasingly sensitive, and the fact that the aura had been refined a second time by the Bloodthirsty Divine Sword...

...he probably wouldn’t have been able to tell that the true nature hidden within this Evil Qi was Star Power.

’I’ve killed that guy now, so he failed his mission. Nangong Xinghui will probably send someone else after me. This time it was an ordinary Divine King, so what about next time?’

Yang Xiao’s expression turned grim.

But his gloomy mood didn’t last long.

Because of the girl beneath him.

She had given him a huge surprise.

’This blending of auras doesn’t just benefit me. Yun’Er gains from it too.’

Yang Xiao stopped thinking about other matters.

All his attention was focused on Yun’Er, whose aura was currently blending with his.

Just as Yang Xiao’s Five Elements Divine Pills had seen great improvement,

Yun’Er had also benefited greatly from this joint cultivation. After receiving the feedback from Yang Xiao’s aura, her Holy Spiritual Qi was once again enhanced and transformed.

Only a few days after evolving into the Five Elements Treasure Body, she unbelievably showed signs of her constitution undergoing yet another transformation.

And Yun’Er’s Five Elements Treasure Body was already an Ultimate-grade Treasure Body.

Now, it was transforming again.

Into a Dao Body.

Moreover, a Five Elements Dao Body.

Although it was only Low Grade for now, once she crossed this threshold...

...it would only be a matter of time before Yun’Er’s body became a Middle Grade, Upper Grade, or even an Ultimate Grade Five Elements Dao Body.

If she had more fortuitous encounters or her strength reached a certain level...

...she could even achieve a Five Elements Sacred Body.

In that case...

...she would have truly developed her Holy Spirit Body to its absolute limit.

And she would stand at the pinnacle of true geniuses.

’A Five Elements Sacred Body... if Yun’Er successfully transforms, the aura in her body will change into ceaseless Five Elements Holy Qi. With that Five Elements Holy Qi alone, she could probably fight enemies four Tiers above her. The effect would be almost comparable to my Five Elements Divine Pills in formation. Tsk tsk, not bad at all. And regarding Secret Patterns... it seems this little girl is already close to Ninth Layer Perfection and is about to condense the Heart of the Five Elements.’

It was important to know.

After Yang Xiao comprehended the Chaos Secret Pattern, any one of his Divine Pills possessed power almost a hundred times greater than an ordinary Divine Pill of the same element.

An aura like that was already comparable to an Ultimate Grade Dao Body.

Moreover, his Fire Element Divine Pill, nurtured by the Heaven and Earth Origin Fire Element, had reached over a thousand times the power of an ordinary Fire Element Divine Pill—a level of power that could practically only be nurtured by a Sacred Body.

Not to mention the dozens-fold increase in power when they were formed into an array.

Furthermore, this amplification had already reached its limit; it would be difficult to break through any further in the future.

In comparison, as long as Yun’Er transformed into a Five Elements Sacred Body, she would be on par with Yang Xiao.

This Five Elements Sacred Body was truly powerful.

Of course.

The greatest benefit the girl received was, without a doubt, related to the Secret Patterns.

Originally, her comprehension of Secret Patterns was very shallow. Her strongest one had only reached the Third Layer Perfection.

But now...

...after just one blending of auras...

...she was already about to condense a Heart of Secret Patterns, and a Heart of the Five Elements at that.

This was definitely an immense step forward.

Yang Xiao was also extremely happy.

Because with this...

...Yun’Er’s potential and strength would be greatly enhanced.

’Next, I should let her continue her transformation. It’s not good for my aura to remain in her body, as it will affect the process. Right, that woman, Nangong Tianling, seems to have sent out her Divine Sense several times. It looks like she has something to discuss with me. I should go out and see.’

With that thought, Yang Xiao’s mind stirred.

He withdrew from the Heaven-Fighting Divine Palace.

And just like that, his joint cultivation with Yun’Er came to an abrupt halt.

But at this moment...

Yun’Er, who was in the middle of her transformation...

...did not notice.

And as Yang Xiao withdrew, the Heart of the Five Elements in her body instantly condensed. At the same time, the first Dao Pattern appeared, and her transformation officially began.
