Perfect Transformation

Perfect Transformation . . .

Within the mystical realm of the Antiquity City, bathed in the sacred brilliance of the Sacred Luminance, Qin Wentian's form radiated with an incandescent brilliance. His very being seemed to be a convergence of astral energy and runic light, their dance together resonating in a thunderous chorus. As the luminescent waves coursed through him, he gradually adapted to the pain, allowing his focus to sharpen.

These runes within him pulsed with wild fervor, converging into an awe-inspiring, razor-sharp sword. A cacophony of sword hymns, like the chorus of a myriad blades, filled the air as they revolved relentlessly around him. In this state, he became the embodiment of pure sword intent, with the ability to effortlessly condense particles of divine energy. It was the epitome of the Spiritual Refinement Method.

Another transformation gripped Qin Wentian's form as the pristine energies of his bloodline took the lead. The runic light shimmered, summoning the silhouette of a mighty wind roc, which effortlessly converted astral energy into divine wind energy imbued with the wind roc's formidable might. This was the Grand Completion level of the Spiritual Refinement Method in all its flawless glory.

Above him, four grand constellations manifested, their evolution an entrancing spectacle. The Suppressive Annihilation Constellation's towering figure, akin to a deity, brimmed with countless suppressive runes, extending its dominion through space, emanating a supreme annihilating force that could subdue the very essence of time.

As for the Sword Slaughter Constellation, its boundless sword intent underwent an endless metamorphosis. It condensed into a cascade of luminous sword runes descending from the heavens, possessing the supreme power to obliterate all in its path.

The Demon Sovereign Constellation summoned numerous awe-inspiring greater demons into existence, each appearance sending shivers down the spines of onlookers.

And finally, the Dreamworld Constellation's enigmatic and illusionary prowess reached new heights of potency.

Yet the most conspicuous transformation remained within Qin Wentian himself. Under the influence of the Fiend-God Body Refinement Art and the fusion of two bloodlines, his body now resembled that of an immortal or a demon. Clad in platinum fiend-god armor and surrounded by a crimson-hued ethereal glow, adorned with sword runes, wind roc insignias, and a multitude of other elemental runes, he embodied the archetype of a perfect, world-altering physique.

—BOOM!— A formidable aura surged into the firmament. Within Qin Wentian's core, the cacophonous tumult grew increasingly ferocious, while his constellations radiated with even greater brilliance. His aura expanded exponentially, heralding a breakthrough in his cultivation base.

Having endured the transformative baptism, Qin Wentian's cultivation had ascended to the pinnacle of the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon, marking a momentous milestone in his journey.

The precipice of immortality stood just before him, and Qin Wentian's arduous journey through the immortal realms had brought him to this pivotal moment. With only a single step remaining, he could almost touch the elusive realm of immortality.

A casual wave of his hand summoned a shadow that materialized into the graceful silhouette of a vermilion bird - Purgatory. She was intimately familiar with Qin Wentian's recent experiences, for she resided within his very bloodstream, receiving the finest nourishment from him. As she took flight, a radiant crimson aura painted the sky, and she gracefully ascended, willingly subjecting herself to the transformative embrace of the Sacred Luminance with unwavering determination.

ROAR A deafening roar resounded in the vicinity. Little Rascal, basking in the holy radiance, was now cloaked in a resplendent golden light. His body gradually transformed into a dazzling golden hue, resembling a suit of pure gold armor. Lifting his head high, he unleashed a kingly aura that permeated the surroundings. Bathed in shimmering gold, he became the monarch of the demon world.

Transformation was the order of the day, and even Zi Qingxuan persevered through the ordeal. Despite the excruciating pain that wracked her, she possessed an indomitable will that fortified her resolve. She refused to allow the gap between her and the others to widen, recognizing the rarity of bathing in the Sacred Luminance's holy light. She couldn't afford to falter now, not when the prospect of transformation beckoned.

Enduring unimaginable agony, Zi Qingxuan gritted her teeth as her body underwent its own metamorphosis.

The Sacred Luminance, a legendary holy light from antiquity, was a supreme treasure even coveted by immortal emperors. Encountering it within the Antiquity City, Qin Wentian and his companions were now in the midst of a transformation, each harnessing their unique potential and talents.

Perhaps due to Little Rascal's inherent nature as a demonic beast, it was the first to complete its transformation and emerge from the Sacred Luminance's embrace. Suspended in the air, it observed the others with an aura of utmost power, having reached the pinnacle of Celestial Phenomenon. The baptism had left it not only physically transformed but also spiritually awakened.

At that moment, its eyes glinted with keenness as they fixed upon a lone figure approaching - Mo Xie.

Mo Xie's expression turned solemn as he observed the group undergoing the Sacred Luminance's baptism. His heart trembled with intense emotions upon witnessing the holy light.

"Could that be... the Sacred Luminance?!" Mo Xie exclaimed in astonishment, quickening his steps. In this moment, the opportunity to claim a portion of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor's inheritance from Little Rascal momentarily faded in significance.

The Sacred Luminance, an ancient holy radiance of profound significance, had made its appearance.

Little Rascal, in all its immense glory, surged forward like an unstoppable force, confronting Mo Xie with a resounding thunderous roar that reverberated through the air. Mo Xie's dark golden eyes glinted with an icy resolve as he taunted, "There's no need to rush towards your demise. Sooner or later, your share of the inheritance will become mine."

Without hesitation, Mo Xie sidestepped and made a determined dash towards the Sacred Luminance.

"ROAR!" Little Rascal transformed into a streak of golden lightning, hurtling toward Mo Xie with its mighty golden claws extended, capable of rending the very fabric of existence. Mo Xie's eyes burned with a chilling intensity as he channeled his devilish tribulation force, unleashing a powerful blow from his dark golden palms, sending shockwaves rippling through the surroundings.

Their collision was deafening, and both were forcefully pushed back, a spectacle that left Mo Xie in shock, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of disbelief and dread.

"After undergoing the Sacred Luminance's baptism, your strength has surged to the point where you're no longer inferior to me," Mo Xie remarked, his voice carrying the sharpness of a blade. He summoned his tribulation devil constellation, unleashing a torrent of devilish tribulation force towards Little Rascal. In response, Little Rascal ascended to the heavens, transforming into a majestic golden-winged great roc, bathed in a radiant golden glow.

Little Rascal had possessed the innate ability of metamorphosis for as long as anyone could remember. Now, after the Sacred Luminance's baptism, its transformations had become even more lifelike and astonishingly real. At this moment, it was the very image of a genuine golden-winged roc, an awe-inspiring divine avian species.

The malevolent force of the devilish tribulation descended upon it, but Little Rascal, now many times more powerful than before, unfurled its protective wings, deflecting the attack. With a swift movement, it unleashed a barrage of wind blades towards Mo Xie.

—bzz!— Mo Xie, intent on reaching the Sacred Luminance, made a decisive break for it, determined to avoid entanglement with Little Rascal. His sole objective now was to immerse himself in the holy light, undergo the transformative process, and emerge stronger. As he rushed forward, a tempestuous gale whooshed past, propelled by Little Rascal's incredible speed. Its golden wings sliced through the air, aiming directly for Mo Xie's head.

Mo Xie's palm darkened to a sinister golden hue, and he thrust it forward, grasping the golden wings with tremendous force. The clash between the powerful wings and his dark golden palms produced metallic grinding sounds. Then, with a resounding roar, Mo Xie summoned all his strength to fling Little Rascal away. He summoned a fearsome devil saber and struck it down mercilessly in Little Rascal's direction.

Little Rascal spread its wings, soaring through the sky like a bolt of golden lightning, narrowly avoiding the mortal strike. Mo Xie, now unable to pursue further, proceeded to step into the Sacred Luminance.

"ARGH!" A guttural cry of extreme agony echoed. Even with Mo Xie's indomitable physique, the Sacred Luminance's baptism seeped into every fiber of his being, leaving him feeling as if he might liquefy.

—BOOM!— Mo Xie's devilish aura surged to monumental heights, a manifestation of his relentless determination. His dark golden eyes gleamed with unwavering resolve. Meanwhile, Little Rascal darted towards the area just beyond the Sacred Luminance, its gaze fixed on Mo Xie, now bathed in the holy light. Within that radiant domain, a menacing and unstoppable power raged, rendering any attempts to interfere futile. Launching attacks from outside proved equally futile, as they disintegrated upon contact with the luminous barrier. Mo Xie was beyond anyone's reach now.

Subsequently, Nanfeng Yunxi, Qing'er, and Jun Mengchen emerged from the area suffused with the Sacred Luminance, their transformations complete. Their expressions turned serious, and their gazes chilled when they spotted Mo Xie.

The presence of this individual caught them off guard. The trial involving the greater demons within the illusory world had posed a challenge for the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect disciples but had proven no obstacle to Mo Xie's determination.

Mo Xie had already possessed a formidable level of strength to begin with. Even facing a greater demon alone, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage. That's how he managed to reach this point.

"Mo Xie's strength is bound to be even more formidable after undergoing the Sacred Luminance's baptism," Nanfeng Yunxi remarked in a hushed tone.

Jun Mengchen offered a reassuring response, "There's no need to worry. Both my Senior Brother and I have advanced to the ninth level. Unless he makes the same breakthrough and ascends to immortality, his progress won't surpass ours. Should he dare to emerge, we'll deal with him right here."

"He won't be able to ascend to immortality. That requires establishing an immortal foundation first. While the Sacred Luminance can significantly enhance our potential, it won't automatically help stellar martial cultivators form an immortal foundation," Nanfeng Yunxi explained. She shook her head and added, "Establishing an immortal foundation necessitates extensive preparation and can't be achieved on a whim."

Just then, Hua Taixu completed his transformation and emerged. His samsara eyes had acquired an even more profound depth, as if they stretched into eternity. He, too, had ascended to the ninth level. The Sacred Luminance had effortlessly facilitated the transformation of eighth-level ascendants' constellations, propelling them seamlessly to the next level. Even seventh-level ascendants had a chance to leap two levels and reach the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon.

Qin Wentian and Zi Qingxuan exited almost simultaneously. In the end, Zi Qingxuan had persevered and undergone her transformation successfully. As for Qin Wentian, words hardly did justice to his transformation. His eyes now emitted a dazzling divine radiance, capable of piercing through the depths of the human soul. His body radiated an awe-inspiring runic light, the embodiment of perfection!
