Chapter 432 Transformation into a Dragon? Encountering a Dragon? (4000)

"Woof~, I understand, Dao Master."

Big Yellow lay prone on the ground, its ears drooping, no longer attempting to break through, and began to adapt to the increased demonic power.

Zhang Yuanzhu nodded slightly, lowered his gaze, glanced at the earth core in his palm, and then raised his hand.

The pale yellow beads then drifted down onto the deck in front of Big Yellow.

"Keep this earth core; it will still be helpful when you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in the future."

"However, right now we should focus on consolidating our cultivation, adapting to our power, and adjusting our mind. Do not be impatient."

"Yes, Dao Master!"

Big Yellow reached out with its paw, put away the earth core, and then closed its eyes to adapt to the demonic power.

The young man flicked his sleeves and, after setting up a simple array around the big yellow dog, led the two women to the side.

Fayan followed beside Chiying, his eyes radiating a faint Buddhist light, and whispered:

"Brother Dao is gentle by nature and not a cruel person."

“Dahuang has been with me since it was young, so I naturally feel affection for it.”

Zhang Yuanzhu shook his head, his hand stroking the long ruler at his waist, which exuded a murderous aura.

Tower~
The young man stopped on the other side of the airship and looked up at the sky.

He gazed at the crisscrossing lightning in the sky, which struck down intermittently, leaving charred marks on the vast marshland, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

The terrain of Lei Ze was not created by human hands, but rather was naturally formed by heaven and earth.

Fa Yan stood beside the young man, his gaze following the young man's line of sight to the sky:

"Thunder roars and lightning. The further in you go, the more explosive and scarce the spiritual energy becomes, and the stronger the thunder becomes. Brother, you should be careful."

"The increasingly powerful thunder and lightning of heaven and earth?"

Zhang Yuanzhu lightly gripped the gleaming white ruler with his five fingers, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

He has been stuck at the final level of his body-refining technique for some time and needs to find a stormy, secluded place to undergo ten months of tempering before he can truly succeed.

I wonder if this place is suitable?
If it's suitable, even if we don't find any lightning-attribute evil energy, the trip will still be worthwhile.

"I'm here to explore the depths of Raize, so there's no need to worry about danger."

Zhang Yuanzhu's gaze descended from the heavens, his double pupils piercing through illusions as he probed ahead with all his might.

Legal words and laws stand quietly beside the youth, steer the flying boat, and continue to delve deeper.

A Buddhist boat soars through the sky, its starlight dazzling, traversing heaven and earth.

Wherever it passed, most of the demonic beasts and rogue cultivators fled in terror, while some creatures, oblivious to their fate, were reduced to skeletons by the roadside.

Moving forward in this way, they rampaged through everything in their path.

In the blink of an eye, a month and a half had passed.

Zhang Yuanzhu sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, a long, gleaming white ruler floating above his knees, rising and falling, emitting a faint starlight and radiating an aura of astonishment.

In 45 days, all the evil energy of the stars was absorbed, which was half a month faster than expected.

He reached out and gently grasped her hand.

The starlight faded, the energy dissipated, and even the lifelike patterns on the ruler disappeared one by one.

clang clang ~
With a light tap of the five fingers, the sound of jade striking against jade echoed in my ears.

Zhang Yuanzhu's lips curled up in a smile.

From then on, the measuring ruler was flawless, as if it had been nurtured by heaven and earth, perfectly formed.

Moreover, the gains in this month and a half are far more than that.

He casually slung the long ruler around his waist.

His handsome face began to blur, and a Xuanwu Nuo mask emerged, carrying a sense of solemnity and holiness.

In the next instant, the Nuo mask melted away, turning into wisps of yellow mist that converged towards the legs.

The yellow mist twists and turns, within which Tao and reason intertwine.

Hiss! Roar!
With a hiss of a snake and a roar of a tortoise, the yellow mist surged, and the phantom of Xuanwu appeared, splitting into two.

A snake and a turtle slithered into the legs.

In an instant, her legs turned bright yellow, with streaks of brown appearing, flickering intermittently.

Each time the patterns flicker, spiritual energy surges beneath the earth and in the heavens.

Boom~
A surge of spiritual energy rushed in from all directions.

With a thought, Zhang Yuanzhu's legs returned to normal, and the Nuo mask reappeared on his face.

The young man propped his cheek up with his arm, his eyes calm, and murmured to himself:

'The divine form—Xuanwu—is just as I envisioned. Absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, its stamina and magical power naturally recover and increase significantly.'

Raise your free hand and gently stroke the Nuo mask, feeling the warmth from your fingertips.

"Only half a step is left, the divine form - Xuanwu, will be truly perfect. I look forward to seeing all five divine forms emerge together, and what level of combat power we can achieve."

The young man whispered, and the Nuo mask slowly dissipated, his aura also subsiding.

Aside from the Measuring Ruler and perfecting the Divine Form, the biggest gain over the past month and a half has been the [Special Attribute] Control.

Over this period of time, he has continuously comprehended various level-one [characteristics], and he can now control the [characteristic]: Intimidation without relying on the Seven Treasures Tree.

If this continues, it won't be long before they can master all the first-level [characteristics] and then comprehend the second-level [characteristics].

Rumble~
A clap of thunder interrupted the young man's thoughts.

He looked up and saw thick, dark clouds, with countless bolts of lightning crisscrossing the sky like long, azure serpents.

Looking down, all that could be seen was a crystal-clear earth, without a trace of swamp.

"As expected of the central area of ​​Thunder Swamp, if it were an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would have been wiped out by the omnipresent lightning long ago."

A beautiful figure stood beside the red-clad figure, and not far from her, a yellow dog the size of a calf slowly approached.

Zhang Yuanzhu stood up, surveyed the surrounding landscape, and chuckled softly:

"Thunderstorm zone, how can any other creatures enter?"

As he ventured deeper into the Thunder Swamp, he became certain that the central area of ​​the Thunder Swamp was a desolate land of thunderstorms, extremely suitable for the final stage of the body-refining technique, "Nine Tribulations Thunder Body".

However, let's first explore the lightning-attribute evil energy!
This is what truly concerns one's future path.

"Woof, Dao Master."

Big Yellow came to Red Shadow's side, poked its head out, and rubbed against Red Shadow's robe, happy and excited.

Zhang Yuanzhu's hand landed, patting the dog's head and sensing its dantian and demonic body:
"The demonic power has been stabilized, and a breakthrough can be made."

The young man's voice was gentle and tinged with a smile.

"Use your demonic power and demonic body to forge a mid-grade spiritual platform."

He paused, his smile fading and replaced with seriousness as he looked at Big Yellow and uttered each word carefully:
"If you cannot forge a mid-grade spirit platform, do not force it; a low-grade spirit platform will suffice."

To break through to the Foundation Establishment realm is already a one-in-a-million, one-in-ten-million chance for ordinary people, let alone a mid-grade Spirit Platform.

It should be noted that, apart from him, only the Mountain Lord Chen Zijing in the entire Zhuoyang lineage has forged a mid-grade spiritual platform.

This is a test of one's character, will, and magical power; one can only rely on oneself and cannot rely on external aids.

"Master, I understand."

The dog demon enjoyed being stroked, and after a moment, lay down on the ground.

Big Yellow raised its head, its beastly eyes fixed on the Crimson Shadow:

"Dao Master, I will not let you down!"

As the words fell, wisps of earthy yellow demonic energy rose from the demon's body, floating and tumbling, filling the flying boat.

Zhang Yuanzhu sensed the surging demonic power within Da Huang's body, stomped his foot lightly, and the flying boat descended, landing on the crystal-like earth.

Take a step forward and stand firmly on the ground.

One array plate flew out from his bosom, covering all directions; array patterns spread out from his feet; array flags stood on the ground, fluttering in the wind.

In an instant, a large array rose up, blocking the thunder and lightning.

As everything calmed down, Zhang Yuanzhu, Fayan, and Fadingjin all turned their gazes to the dog demon lying on the ground.

A demonic aura permeated the air, blurring the beast's form, and the aura it emitted grew stronger and stronger.

They knew this was only the beginning; a true breakthrough was still several days away. Fa Yan flicked his sleeves, retracted the flying boat, clasped his hands together, and his expression softened.
"Brother Dao, do not worry. With the power of the Great Yellow Demon, you should be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

Zhang Yuanzhu rested his arm on the long, white ruler, his face showing a carefree expression:

"I've done what I had to do. Life and death are in the hands of fate. There's nothing more to say."

He has done his best to reach this point; the road ahead is rugged, and some paths must be walked by the other party alone.

A hint of surprise flashed in Fa Yan's eyes, her red lips curved into a smile, and she chuckled softly:
"As expected of you, fellow Daoist."

The legal representative standing to the side also looked up, his gaze slightly surprised.

Over this period of time, both women had witnessed the young man taking such good care of Dahuang, and now he was acting so carefree.

Zhang Yuanzhu stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the lightning bolts continuously striking down outside the formation:
“This place is beneficial to my cultivation. If possible, I can go into seclusion here for ten months after finding the evil energy.”

"Of course, escorting them is the priority. If you two are in a hurry, we will naturally escort them back to the Southern Desert first."

Fa Yan let his arms hang naturally at his sides and shook his head.
"When my senior sister and I returned to the Southern Desert, we also practiced in the temple. It is no different from here."

"Moreover, at this moment, many forces are embroiled in conflict and are unable to pursue and kill us, making this a rare opportunity for cultivation."

A legal nod, straightforward:
"Yes, but the thunder in the center of Thunder Marsh is extremely violent. If you want to cultivate, you will need to trouble you to set up a great formation to eliminate the violent energy in the spiritual energy."

"Easy and worry-free."

After a few words, the three reached a consensus.

First, he sought out the evil energy of the lightning attribute, and then eliminated the surrounding threats. After that, he went into seclusion to cultivate.

As the words fell, the three stood side by side, cultivating while waiting for Da Huang to break through.

Time passes minute by minute.

A day has passed!
Three days have passed!!
Five days have passed!!!

Woof~
With a bark, the demonic energy permeating the array suddenly contracted and rapidly converged towards the beast's body.

A dog demon, as strong as an ox, stood up from the ground, surrounded by earthy yellow demonic energy, its beastly eyes revealing excitement and joy.

Head raised, mouth open:

"Ouch!"

At this moment, Zhang Yuanzhu stepped forward, his expression slightly changing as he looked towards the outside of the formation.

roar~
A beastly roar, like the bellow of a bull or thunder, came from the ends of the earth.

Layers of lightning dissipated, causing the space to ripple, and the surrounding arrays exploded in response, turning into streams of light that swept across all directions.

The next moment.

An extremely powerful aura arrived from afar, explosive and ferocious, yet also carrying a majestic majesty.

Zhang Yuanzhu gripped the long ruler tightly with his five fingers, turned around and faced the beastly shadow that appeared at the edge of the sky.

It has two horns, sharp teeth, vertical pupils, long flowing whiskers, and azure scales. It is slender like a snake, but has two legs, and can travel by riding the clouds and mist.

At that moment, the young man's pupils contracted slightly.

Real dragon!

A living mythical beast!
No! It's not a real dragon, it's not quite there!
Zhang Yuanzhu stared intently at the two legs beneath the 'Thunder Dragon' beast's body, where there were protruding fleshy lumps behind them.

Call ~
The young man exhaled a breath of stale air.

This is a Thunder Flood Dragon about to transform into a dragon, having already reached the fifth step of the Condensing Evil Realm, making it extremely powerful.

With each step, qi and blood circulate throughout the limbs and bones, causing the muscles, bones, skin, and internal organs to vibrate and unleash tremendous power to empower oneself.

A torrent of vital energy surged forth like a tide, obscuring the thunder and filling the heavens and earth.

"roll!"

The young man shouted loudly, his voice shaking heaven and earth.

The vast sky trembled and shook, then cracked open with one fissure after another.

With one arm raised, space exploded with a deafening roar, and countless spatial fragments transformed into streams of light, striking out in all directions with thunder.

His expression was icy, his five fingers clenched together, and he struck out with a thunderous roar!
Heart at the command! Intent at the command! Fist at the command!

At this moment, space and time seem to have no meaning.

Without a second thought, this punch had already traversed eight hundred miles, tearing a chasm in the void, and hurtling towards the Thunder Dragon.

Domineering and fiery!
At this moment, Lei Jiao stopped in his tracks, his dragon eyes were deep and dark, and his body swelled up in the wind.

In less than a breath, it had already transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long true dragon, soaring through the sky, its body covered in thunder, its head looking down at the dazzling fist.

The dragon claw rose, then suddenly pressed down!
One large and one small, one azure and one purple-gold, collided head-on.

Boom! Boom!
Amidst the deafening roar, the void surged and twisted like waves, continuously spreading outwards.

An endless, powerful wind, carrying thunder and blood energy, obliterates everything around it.

Click!Click!
Scales flew off, and skin cracked open.

Purple-gold blood and scarlet crimson blood scattered in the void.

kill!

The thunder dragon roared, its scales gleaming, and it swung its tail.

The dragon claw descended, shattering the fist's light, which then covered the void and struck the earth.

Rumble~
Dust rose, air currents rolled, and thunder roared.

After an unknown amount of time, the dragon claw retracted, and the world returned to calm.

Only a low roar echoed through the sky:
"Did you run away?"

Thousands of miles away, Zhang Yuanzhu carried Dahuang in one hand, Fayan on the shoulder with the other, and carried Fazheng on his back, speeding through the sky.

He was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, he had covered a hundred miles of land.

It wasn't that they didn't want to continue the conquest and assess Lei Jiao's combat strength, but rather that with each punch and claw strike, they already knew that if they were to fight to the death, they would be unable to protect Fa Yan, Fa Ding, and Da Huang.

The other party arrived too suddenly, giving the two women and the dog no time to escape.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Yuanzhu finally stopped, landed on the ground, and put down the two women and the dog.

Big Yellow landed, its face full of apology, and said:
"Wang~"

"Master, if I hadn't roared, that old dragon wouldn't have gotten any attention."

"Hahaha~"

Zhang Yuanzhu laughed loudly and patted the dog's head with his left hand.

"It's just a dragon about to transform into a dragon, nothing special."

"Your breakthrough to Foundation Establishment and the forging of a mid-grade Spirit Platform are truly excellent."

Fa Yan stepped forward, looking at the young man's blood-stained right palm, and reached out her delicate hand to touch the wound.

Strands of Buddha's light shone forth, cleansing away blood and lightning, and healing wounds.

"This thunder dragon is just one step away from transforming into a true dragon."

"If successful, they will be among the top experts in the Condensation Realm, and will even be able to glimpse the Golden Core stage."

"It clearly considers the central region of Raize as its own territory, and will not allow outsiders to infringe upon it."

"Brother Dao wants to refine his body here, but that's a bit of a problem!"

The Buddha's light subsided, her slender hand fell, and Fayan's red lips parted slightly as she slowly began to speak.

Zhang Yuanzhu raised his hand and placed it on the long, white ruler, his expression calm:

"First, search the surrounding area for any malevolent energy. I'll deal with that thunder dragon."

The fifth step of the Condensing Fiend Realm is incredibly powerful, but for him, if he can fight, he can kill.

It's just a matter of putting in some effort.

"Alright, as you say, let's first find the evil energy."

Fa Yan nodded, offering no objection.

After a few words, the three reached a consensus.

As for Dahuang, it immediately rushed into the demon pet pouch to stabilize its cultivation.

A flying boat took off and roamed the central area of ​​Raize, exploring various regions.
