Shennong Dao Master

There are only nine floating islands on the fifth layer, where Venerable Bai Han has arranged this Law Realm, and its marquis transformation power is several times stronger than the forty-nine islands of the fourth layer.

As Jixia Palace Master and Zhao Xing landed together on the edge of Crescent Island, they immediately felt the pressure.

"Sizzle~" The black soil of Crescent Island crystallized on a large scale, then shattered into gravel, a layer of ground suddenly disappeared, transforming into vapor rising and merging into the clouds.

"Crack~" Originally, Zhao Xing was using the Spiritual Dragon Transformation, but now even the crystal scales began to crack.

Even though he covered it with a layer of Qinghua, the consumption of Qinghua Magical Power was extreme, and assuming he walked in the Spiritual Emperor Dragon form, he could only hold on for about ten days at most.

As for the Taichu Avatar? The marquis transformation affects the entire floating island, not just life forms, but inanimate objects will also be oppressed. Only the strongest ten avatars can withstand it, the rest crack as soon as they are released from an ordinary storage ring.

"Julong Transformation!" Zhao Xing immediately switched forms and used the Group Dragon Transformation, with dragon scales turning like flowing water, transforming into an earth-yellow color.

The form rapidly shrank, the scales becoming even more compact, and a hint of green light appeared covering them, with a bead emerging on the forehead.

The Julong specializes in defense; this kind of defense is passive, with even every inch of blood and flesh inside the body incredibly hard, the structure exceptionally stable, making it fearless of the marquis transformation pressure on the fifth layer after switching.

"Hmm? What kind of race is this?" Jixia Palace Master watched Zhao Xing’s transformation with interest. "Earth and Wood Origination integrated into the flesh, resisting the fifth layer’s marquis transformation with mere physical strength."

Jixia Palace Master remained in the Moon Spirit Cat form, but now he also ignited a layer of flame to resist the fifth layer’s marquis transformation, unable to rely solely on physical resistance.

"My Great Zhou’s Dragon Clan," Zhao Xing explained.

"Dragon Clan?" Jixia Palace Master nodded slightly, "I must visit your homeland dynasty after this journey."

"If the Palace Master comes, I will surely prepare a clean-rugged welcome."

The two adjusted for a while and soon adapted to the environment of the fifth layer’s marquis transformation.

Jixia Palace Master opened his mouth and said, "Crescent Island’s marquis transformation power comprises five layers total, primarily utilizing the Origin of Water and Fire. Two layers of fire transformation, two layers of water transformation, and one layer random change."

"Excluding the unknown and random fifth transformation, my magical power executing the Ten Thousand Spirits Marquis Transformation Technique can withstand this island for about seven years."

"If a battle occurs, the duration would be even shorter."

This was meant to give Zhao Xing a baseline understanding; since they were journeying together, they naturally needed a rough idea of each other’s strength.

Zhao Xing’s Hou Transformation Technique, despite its myriad transformations, ultimately derived from the Four Seasons Palace’s Ten Thousand Spirits Marquis Transformation Technique, just with many templates.

Demon Ape Transformation, Divine Feather Transformation, Rock God Transformation, Group Dragon Transformation... all derived based on the changes of the Cosmic Four Seasons’ Heavenly Seasonal Qi.

The advantage is that reverting is easy and fast, needing only to restore the five elements of the body’s seasonal positions to switch quickly and without harm.

Jixia Palace Master originally thought Zhao Xing would last less time than he did, but Zhao Xing’s answer exceeded his expectations:

"Without fighting, my magical power can maintain the marquis transformation state on the fifth layer for thirty years."

"Thirty years?" Jixia Palace Master was surprised. That’s more than four times his own!

In fact, Zhao Xing was still being modest; he did not account for the augmentation from the Qinghua Magical Power and Red Lotus Magical Power. If he doesn’t engage in combat, utilizing both magical powers alternately can sustain the marquis transformation, allowing survival on the fifth layer floating island for three hundred years! Only after three hundred years would his mana be exhausted.

In terms of marquis transformation technique cultivation, Zhao Xing, who had comprehended hundreds of thousands of Life Dao Maps in the lower four layers, had already surpassed Jixia Palace Master.

Of course, Jixia Palace Master was not the strongest in marquis transformation in the Four Seasons Palace, that title belonged to the Wanling Palace Master.

"Whoosh~"

During their conversation, the dragon and the cat swiftly crossed mountains, arriving at the edge of the core area of the floating island.

They tried to lower their flying altitude as much as possible because the cloud layer above constantly changed with wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, and the higher they went, the stronger the marquis transformation pressure became.

"It seems it’s here." The Moon Spirit Cat suddenly stopped on a hill, looking around with its fluffy head.

"There seems to be an abnormal fluctuation, different from the current marquis transformation pattern, although it’s very weak."

Zhao Xing also felt it, the emergence of an ancient Magic Artifact able to interfere with the fifth layer floating island’s marquis transformation.

However, in the intense marquis transformation of the fifth layer floating island, sensing this hint of anomaly was quite difficult.

The fifth layer floating island’s marquis transformation power is comparable to late-stage Emperor level; those ascending are akin to battling a late-stage Emperor stronghold constantly.

In such high-intensity engagement, it’s challenging to pay attention to faint abnormal fluctuations—even Jixia Palace Master was unsure.

Zhao Xing closed his eyes to sense, then said, "Please, Palace Master, shield me from the marquis transformation for a moment."

"Alright." The Moon Spirit Cat waved its paw, moonlight scattered, and as the moonlight shone, a refreshing breeze surrounded Zhao Xing’s dragon body.

Zhao Xing immediately switched to the Spiritual Emperor Dragon form, then his Spiritual Power spread across the floating island.

The fluctuation of the entire floating island’s marquis transformation is boiling like the sea, with a light emitting fluctuation below, spreading continuously.

"It’s in there!" Zhao Xing pointed to a green gas barrier in the south of the floating island, less than ten thousand miles away from them.

"Let’s go!"

The dragon and the cat swiftly charged into the miasma.

The miasma swamp was formed under the fluctuation of Heavenly Marquis Transformation, mixing the heavenly spirit energy generated on the floating island into a poisonous barrier.
