Chapter 14 The Divine Tomb Technique is Destined for the Undying Emperor
On the twelfth day, he was like grass and trees that had survived the cold winter, his flesh and blood were rejuvenated, and the life spring that had stopped flowing with divine power burst forth with soaring vitality. The dried blood cocoon was filled up and looked like a divine egg carved with a blood diamond.
The primordial shell beneath the burial soil seemed to be moved in sync. The extreme death energy born from Zhao Tianpeng's body suddenly changed, and a glimmer of life was born. This glimmer of life flowed within the death energy, transforming from death to life. A profound meaning of the Reincarnation Seal flowed, and the life imprint on the empty primordial shell gradually condensed and transformed into a bright, pale white illusory circle. When this illusory circle appeared, the Taiyin Holy Power merged into it. Then, the circle broke through the burial soil and flew into the air, transforming into an illusory Taiyin Nether Moon.
At that very moment, Zhao Tianpeng's last glimmer of spiritual light emerged and left his mark before returning to his body.
The essence and blood that had been dormant in Zhao Tianpeng's body were reborn, surging like the tide, with towering waves. His internal organs became more and more resilient, and his bones vibrated as if metal and iron were clashing. The grayness disappeared, and he became as white as jade, each strand translucent as if it were white jade. At this moment, the divine energy flowing in the life spring transformed into the Netherworld Power of the Yellow Springs.
At that moment, a terrifying suction force erupted from his body, swallowing the shattered crimson divine source into the most primordial essence of heaven and earth. In an instant, every inch of his flesh and blood began to melt and refine the divine source essence, transforming into crimson divine light. His entire body became crystal clear, as if carved from blood jade, and his blood and qi surged powerfully, like a true dragon cub.
When Zhao Tianpeng opened his eyes, the blood cocoon shattered and turned into a bloody light, which he swallowed in one gulp. The terrifying blood energy transformed into a dragon shape and rose up, breaking through the Dao patterns he had inscribed, shattering the roof and rising into the distance. The cultivators around the small town looked up at the blood energy that seemed to be tangible, which was like a pillar of heaven piercing the sky. Even the clouds in the sky were shattered. All of them showed a look of horror on their faces.
"How is that possible?"
"How terrifying is their blood and qi!"
"Could it be that a peerless demon has arrived in Yandu?"
"This is terrifying! With such a surge of energy, it could probably even shatter profound magical techniques!"
Many cultivators were so frightened that they turned around and fled Yandu, running away to distant places, fearing that the great demon would cause chaos and massacre the city. In an instant, the entire Yandu was filled with fear and panic.
Zhao Tianpeng opened his eyes, calmed his blood and qi, and was extremely satisfied with his transformation: "I transformed the sacred other shore into the graveyard of the gods, and used myself as the living burial soil. I devoured the origins of many special physiques such as royal bodies and divine bodies and buried them in the burial soil. I seized the essence of the origin and used the method of forming a demonic embryo to completely nurture my potential into a ghost god of the Yellow Springs."
"Then, using the profound meaning of the Samsara Seal, I guided the indelible life imprint within the empty shell of origin to condense into a rapidly formed Samsara Imprint phantom, which combined with the Taiyin Holy Power to transform into the Taiyin Dark Moon. The moment the Dark Moon transforms is the blankest moment, like a blank sheet of paper. I then imprinted the mark, and from then on, the life imprint of the Blood Beast was covered by the Samsara Seal phantom. I also occupied the Dark Moon formed by the Samsara Imprint phantom, which is equivalent to the Blood Beast being my past life."
"In this way, we can both gain the benefit of rapidly strengthening our origin through the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and avoid the drawback of being treated as one of the many special physiques during the tribulation, thus avoiding the terrifying divine punishment."
"After all, the phantom of the Samsara Imprint is consistent with my aura, so it won't be mistaken for someone else."
"Once the origins of nine powerful beings complete the transformation of nine lives and nine deaths, and condense into nine illusory images of reincarnation marks that transform into the Nether Moon, then as long as I continue to devour the origins of special physiques to strengthen the Yellow Spring Demon Embryo condensed from my own potential, the life marks left in these empty shells of origin will be assimilated by the nine Nether Moons into my deceased self marks, and can even be summoned to fight for me."
"As time goes by, nourished by the burial soil, these nine illusory Reincarnation Seals will gradually solidify into reality. When the nine Reincarnation Seals unite, one will become an immortal in the mortal world."
Zhao Tianpeng lowered his gaze to the sea of reincarnation and looked at the demonic coffin in the Netherworld on the other side: "The Samsara Seal has been condensed for too long. It can serve as resources for future growth, but it cannot serve as my path."
"My path is ultimately the Yellow Spring Demon Embryo. As long as the Yellow Spring Demon Embryo undergoes its ultimate transformation into the Yellow Spring Ghosts and Gods, then I can become an emperor as naturally as the Chaos Body."
"However, to fully complete the Tomb of the Kings, I need the essence of eight powerful beings. Moreover, the more powerful and unique the essence of the beings I use for transformation, the greater the benefits I will receive."
Zhao Tianpeng sensed his own blood and qi. Originally, the special feature of the Yellow Spring Spirit Body was not above blood and qi. His blood and qi could only be said to be slightly stronger than that of an ordinary genius. However, after completing a transformation with the Blood Beast Origin and nourishing himself with the Blood God Origin, a divine source that forges blood and qi, the blood and qi lurking in his flesh and blood were now as deep as the ocean. He felt that he could defeat cultivators at the third or fourth level of the Dao Palace with just his physical blood and qi.
"I can't imagine how powerful I would be if all eight transformations were completed using the essence of a powerful being like a blood beast. How would I compare to the Emperor's own son? How would I compare to the Emperor in his youth?"
"But where can we find eight such powerful beings to devour the source?"
Even if he goes to do archaeology, where would he find eight quasi-emperor tombs to excavate?
"Wait, it seems there really is one."
Zhao Tianpeng's expression shifted. He remembered that there seemed to be a coffin of a general under the Undying Emperor inside Purple Mountain. To be qualified to have one's body sealed in the Undying Emperor's dojo, one must at least be at the peak of the Great Sage realm, right? Then, if he gathered them up, collecting the remains of eight Quasi-Emperors should not be a problem.
Those who can follow the Undying Emperor are all powerful ancient races, whose essence is definitely enough to complete the nine lives and nine deaths transformation he desires.
Suddenly he realized something was wrong. The materials he needed for forging the weapon required the skin of the Undying Emperor and the skin and bones of the Undying Daoist. Now he also needed the Undying Emperor's generals to offer their essence to help him transform.
"Hiss, I'm destined to meet the Immortal Emperor!"
"The Immortal Emperor, what a bird!"
Zhao Tianpeng gave the Immortal Emperor a good bird card.
"Big brother, you're finally all better."
After waiting for more than ten days, the little girl saw Zhao Tianpeng emerge from his cocoon and quickly ran over, her bright eyes filled with joy.
Seeing the little girl, Zhao Tianpeng recalled the pure life force that suddenly appeared during his transformation, and felt a touch of tenderness in his heart.
"Come on, I'll take you out to play."
After Zhao Tianpeng took Xiao Nannan out and compensated the inn for its losses, he and Xiao Nannan transformed into a divine rainbow and soared across the sky toward the Fire Domain. Along the way, they would land in every city they encountered and buy Xiao Nannan plenty of delicious food and fun things. With toys in one hand and snacks in the other, Xiao Nannan's eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter.
Not long after they left Yandu, someone found the inn where he had undergone his transformation, inquired about it, and then hurriedly left. Several groups of people did the same.
One of the fat Taoist priests, with a ruddy complexion, circled the room, reached out and grasped some kind of aura, his eyes gleaming: "Infinite Heavenly Venerable, it's the aura of divine source!"
"Thank goodness I'm rich!"
At this moment, Zhao Tianpeng was completely unaware that several groups of people were following him. He led Xiao Nannan, stopping and starting, and had already reached the edge of the Fire Domain.
He gazed at the fiery expanse ahead, a place that had burned for who knows how many years. The ground was barren, devoid of vegetation and magma; the earth was scorched, riddled with cracks. There was no substance to sustain the flames, only fire, which, for some reason, had burned for so long, defying extinguishment.
Many great cultivators like to come here to refine artifacts because the flames here have a mysterious power that can help the artifact take shape and imprint the Dao and principles upon it.
He came here to use the flames of the Fire Domain to refine the Divine Mark Purple Gold into what he desired.
