260 Chapter 40: The Three Immortals, The Pinnacle of Transcendence (Two-in-One Chapter)_4
Upon learning from this little girl that it was Li Hao who was cultivating, these martial artists were finally able to breathe easy, having initially thought it was some sort of demon attack.
However, even as they relaxed, the sight of this energy hurricane left them feeling both shocked and astounded.
Was this the cultivation of Dayu, the unparalleled genius of all ages?
This was like absorbing the power of Heaven and Earth as if downing a huge gulp!
No wonder the gap between them was so vast.
Compared to Li Hao, their cultivation was like counting rice grains while eating, one per bite, whereas Li Hao was feasting from an entire table with a full plate.
Li Hongzhuang also hurried over, and upon learning that it was Li Hao who was cultivating, she heaved a sigh of relief and quickly sealed off the area, instructing the onlookers to leave.
Despite these martial artists having come earlier to assist, the matter of cultivation was extremely secretive; even she, if not out of curiosity, ought to avoid the situation.
However, having previously witnessed Li Hao's cultivation, Hongzhuang now felt mentally prepared for it.
Meanwhile, in the mist outside the mountain, Feng, holding a small wine pot, had been leisurely sipping now and then, but now he stopped in his tracks.
He stared blankly at the mountain, eyes revealing a hint of astonishment.
That kid... broke through to the Three Immortal Realms?
Fourteen years old in the Three Immortal Realms...
Even for Feng Boping, who had seen much of the world and could bear a lot, couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his eyes.
When that kid enters the Four Stands Realm, he won't be 20 years old yet, will he?
Thinking this, he felt as if his heart had been struck yet again.
It's just as well, as long as I'm old enough, I won't be considered his peer, that's not too embarrassing...
Consoling himself with these thoughts, Feng Boping felt his mind broaden once again. Taking another hearty swig, he slapped his thigh, his face filled with mirth.
In the midst of the mountain, after practicing the mysteries of the Hundred Refined Indestructible Body and the Immovable Ming King, Li Hao went on to practice other cultivation techniques.
The original Thousand Flood Dragons Sage·Transform Into Dragon had now evolved into the Ten Thousand Flood Dragons Body·True Dragon (True Form).
This cultivation technique was inherently of a high level, meaning with his Seventh Stage Physical Body Path, he had not yet grasped its transcendent level.
Yet, its True Form was no less remarkable than the Immovable Ming King.
As he practiced, Li Hao's flesh and blood throbbed, no longer confined by his body. Every part of his flesh seemed to harbor its own independent power and consciousness.
Li Hao's physique rapidly grew more robust, his bones elongating, while the Power of Heaven and Earth swiftly nourished him, astonishingly forming patches of True Dragon scales on his body!
These scales, condensed by the flesh gathering the Power of Heaven and Earth, had already broken the boundaries of "ordinary men."
Ordinary mortals are also referred to as those with common skin.
Upon entering the Immortal Realm, one's body ceases to be mortal, capable of regrowing limbs, with an indestructible body and unwithering true strength, all signs of a transcendent level.
At that moment, Li Hao's body broke free from its previous physical constraints, similar to how demons, upon reaching a certain level of cultivation, could use demonic energy and illusions to transform into humans, while still essentially remaining demons.
Now, Li Hao was able to transform himself, a more genuine change than that of demons, not an illusion, but through the reconfiguration of flesh and blood, altering the original structure of the body.
The exterior could change!
Accompanied by a low roar, Li Hao's eyes emitted frightening golden light, his pupils turning a reddish-gold color, his hands became claws, and his body transformed into a small true dragon!
This was the incredible perception brought by the Seventh Stage of Dao in the Physical Body Path.
It was an understanding of the body far beyond that of a normal individual in the Immortal Realm.
As the body changed, the 48,000 pores all over transformed into 96,000 true scales, increasing the speed at which he absorbed the power of Heaven and Earth.
Li Hao instantly understood why the Dragon Clan was so dominant; their innate body structure made for a cultivation speed unmatched by humans.
The key was that the power absorbed by these scales could be rapidly transformed within the body.
Some demons, by their very physical makeup, could easily absorb power, but their internal pathways were fragile; if they absorbed too quickly, they would burst and die. Thus, they had to actively weaken their absorption rate to maintain balance.
This is also the principle of Yin and Yang that underlies all things.
The Dragon Clan, however, was different: rough and simple, absorbing quickly and digesting even faster!
In an instant, the aura within Li Hao's body climbed once more, moving from the Indestructible Realm to the Unwithering Realm!
261 Chapter 41: Repaying the Second Debt of Gratitude to the Li Family (Make-up for 22, 23)
With the bottleneck broken and the Gate of Life within his flesh pierced, a robust life aura diffused from within Li Hao's body, circulating outside before retracting back into his body.
This life force gradually sank into the acupoints and flesh throughout his body, transforming into Unwithering Power.
This Unwithering Power spread throughout his entire body, ready to activate in times of peril and unleash the maximum extent of strength.
Normally,
the three realms of the Three Immortal Realms are vastly different from one another.
The Undying Realm breaks through the mortal coil, allowing for limb regeneration, but the Indestructible Realm doesn't even suffer bodily damage, akin to a Divine Weapon. One can strike without any worries and need not consider the damage the cultivation technique does to oneself, enabling many cultivation techniques to be executed to even more violent extremes.
Thus, in terms of explosive power, the Indestructible Realm naturally surpasses the Undying Realm, nearly doubling its crushing force.
And the Unwithering Realm represents a complete release, akin to having two lives while also being able to vent endless strength and execute moves that exceed the normal limits of the body.
This is also the deterrent power that makes the Unwithering Realm so formidable.
At this moment, after two cultivation sessions, Li Hao had reached the pinnacle of the Three Immortal Realms.
But Li Hao could feel that this was still far from the true limit.
If all other realms had their limits, then the Three Immortal Realms also had their limit.
The Three Immortal Realms take body cultivation to the Transcending Mortality and Entering Sainthood stage, a transformation of the body's essence. This is an extremely critical watershed realm in cultivation.
Li Hao also wanted to explore the limits of the Three Immortal Realms.
He did not stop; he continued to practice the third Physical Cultivation Skill.
Originally, by relying on the incomplete Primordial Cultivation Skill extrapolated from the Sixth Stage of the Physical Body Path, the fifth level was the Primordial Body.
Having the cultivation technique named after it could also be considered as perfection.
But now, as the insights from the Seventh Stage of the Physical Body Path surged in, this technique subtly evolved again, transforming into the Supreme Body!
Primordial returns to the root, while Supreme remains peerless!
If the Primordial gathers strength into unity, then the Supreme represents transcendence!
A breath of Immortal Qi flowed in and out of Li Hao's body, connecting with the Power of Heaven and Earth, refining his being. His flesh seemed to be imbued with divinity, harboring a faint golden glow.
Within his pores, a golden ocean seemed to churn, his flesh rapid transforming as his Physical Strength continually climbed.
The life aura within him grew increasingly rich, constantly churning and condensing.
In the Unwithering Realm, if the regeneration of limbs for others took a day, then for Li Hao, it only required an hour.
If combined with the attribute of biding one's time and honing one's skills, it could possibly take just half an hour.
With the cultivation of the Supreme Body, Li Hao's flesh became even more formidable, not just in self-healing ability but also in the degree of indestructibility, surpassing that of a typical practitioner of the Three Immortal Realms.
After a moment, the turbulent energy around Li Hao subsided.
An aura that was vast and elegant began to emanate from all over his body.
The Supreme Body had been perfected.
In its genuine state!
His body was independent yet seemed like a distant light reflecting here; there was a sense of standing in the mortal world yet transcending it.
With the perfection of the Supreme Body, it represents a physique, not an offensive power, but rather a defense.
However, the defensive effect is extremely exaggerated, peerlessly transcendent, with many cultivation techniques and skills unable to take effect against it.
When Li Hao walked through a downpour, completely relaxed and without exerting any power, not a single drop touched him.
The breath emitting from his pores would make surrounding dust and snow naturally shy away.
When under attack, his body would instinctively defend itself, with fists, feet, or weapons unable to make contact.
If he were to confront someone of the same realm, fully activating the state of the Supreme Body could even momentarily turn him into an untargetable being, transcending physical existence.
Li Hao didn't know if this state of the Supreme Body were to encounter a powerful practitioner at the initial step of the Tao Heart Realm of the Four Stands Realm, which would be stronger or weaker.
As he concluded his practice, Li Hao suddenly felt his pores trembling minutely.
It seems as if something was about to emerge from his body.
A scorching heat welled up, as if he were in a furnace, his blood beginning to course uncontrollably fast.
His pores seemed to breathe heavily, exhaling a hot breath, his body faintly glowing with golden luster.
As his blood's surging speed increased, the golden glow grew even more brilliant.
Until a certain valve opened up suddenly during a breath, all the power in Li Hao's body erupted like an explosion, his flesh tensed, and a mighty force emerged.
His flesh turned to Red Gold, his vision and hearing drastically increased—his eyes seemed capable of piercing the void, seeing places seven or eight times further away.
His hearing became so sensitive that he could hear the sound of insects crawling in the forest dozens of miles away, and like an echo, the image of the insect and the patterns of its tracks through the snow mud emerged in his mind.
Li Hao's mind also became clearer, yet it carried a strong sense of excitement and a desire for destruction.
Li Hao was astounded; this wasn't a trait of the Supreme Body.
He quickly checked himself, and soon understood the reason.
It seemed he had... reached the limit of the Power Passage Realm!
This peculiar state was just a brief entry into the state after the limit of the Power Passage Realm.
Li Hao then felt the Physical Strength within his body; previously, when he practiced the Bright Jade True Demon Skill, his Strength of the Flesh reached five to six hundred thousand catties, but now it had surged to a million catties.
Li Hao's body contracted, shifting from the form of a True Dragon back to a human figure; the tension and swelling within his body grew more pronounced.
"Is this the limit of the Power Passage Realm? But it seems I can cross this limit, and my Physical Strength can still increase!"
