Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

Yin God Fruit, a Divine Medicine level.

Just one can create a master of the Divine Soul System at the Eighth Realm 'Yin God' stage out of thin air.

Chen Ku did not plan to take two all at once.

For the Eighth Realm Marrow Cleansing corresponding to the Taiyin Technique, the pure Yin energy contained in one Yin God Fruit should be enough.

Looking at the half-foot-sized fruit in his hand, resembling a baby, Chen Ku opened his mouth and swallowed it whole with his Gluttonous Snake Body.

Since it looked somewhat humanoid, Chen Ku decided not to chew it and immediately began refining the pure Yin energy within.

Boom!

It was as if an Eighth Realm Yin God expert had self-destructed inside him; the energy from the Yin God Fruit turned into a monstrous torrent of terrifying spiritual energy, rushing through Chen Ku's entire body.

It seemed on the verge of exploding his stomach in an instant.

"Suppress, refine!"

At this critical moment, Chen Ku and all of his incarnations exerted their power simultaneously, suppressing the mass of energy within him, while Chen Ku began to run the Eighth Realm Huntian Overlord Body 'Taiyin Technique', forcefully guiding the massive pure Yin energy according to the Taiyin Technique.

Inhale!

Exhale!

If anyone could have seen Chen Ku at that moment, sitting on a large stone in the Hero King Realm, they would have been shaken by his state.

Chen Ku's every pore was spewing out dark black Yin God Ghost Qi, making him seem like a walking hell, with thousands of Yin spirits and evil ghosts howling and roaring inside him.

The commotion was so great that the air within dozens of feet around him was whimpering, resonating with humming sounds from the shockwaves.

Time passed by, bit by bit.

Chen Ku had an extraordinary control over himself, aided by the power of all his incarnations, making mistakes nearly impossible, every process precise and flawless.

After a day had passed.

With the formidable refining ability of the "Gluttonous Snake Body," Chen Ku successfully transformed the terrifying Yin God Fruit's vital energy within him into a mass of True Gang.

Taiyin True Gang.

Next, he needed to proceed to the next step, which was to smelt the Taiyin True Gang with the Five Thunder True Gang, advancing his cultivation body towards the Yin Yang Domain on the foundation of the Five Elements and Five Thunders...

Crackling~~

Black arcs of lightning began to coil around Chen Ku's body, marking the fusion process of Five Thunder True Gang and Taiyin True Gang, as well as transforming his cultivation body.

During the cultivation process, Chen Ku continuously comprehended the concepts and key points of the Huntian Overlord Body in his heart.

"The Huntian Overlord Body, to embody the Five Elements and Yin Yang within oneself, ultimately aims to take the path of physically proving the Dao, refining the body step by step into the Five Elements Body, the Yin Yang Body, and finally, the 'Huntian Overlord Body'."

"In the process of the Five Elements Body, the characteristic displayed is the ability to control the Five Elements Power, such as Earth Escape, Water Escape, Gold Escape, and other Five Elements Power."

"The transition from the Five Elements to Yin Yang is known as Wind and Thunder."

"Since there's no way to jump directly from the Five Elements into the Yin Yang Domain, it requires the convergence of Wind and Thunder, ultimately utilizing the 'Destruction and Creation' power within lightning to glimpse the mysteries of Yin Yang."

"Thus, throughout this journey, the Taiyin Technique cultivated also possesses the characteristics of lightning, being both 'Yin Five Thunder' and also called 'Primordial Magnetic Yin Thunder Gang'."

As Chen Ku, endowed with supreme talent, continuously deduced every step of cultivation in his heart, gradually…

The 'Primordial Magnetic Yin Thunder Gang'—a unique trait of the Eighth Stage Taiyin Technique—emerged within him, replacing the previous multicolored True Gang with pure black True Gang.

But upon closer inspection, it was actually Yin Qi dominating the Five Elements Wind and Thunder, being the master of the Five Elements Wind and Thunder.

Sizzling~~

Surrounded by black, mud-like arcs of lightning all over his body.

Every pore of Chen Ku's body, his skin and bones, internal organs and blood, membranes and meridians, blood marrow and spirit, all underwent a cleansing by the Primordial Magnetic Yin Thunder Gang.

Boom!

It was as if a great bell resonated within every part of his bone marrow, spinal marrow, and brain marrow, with ten thousand thunders vibrating, refining the incredibly tiny marrow particles in Chen Ku's marrow fluids, restructuring them...

The fourth marrow cleansing of the Eighth Realm thus began.

When the brain marrow, spinal marrow, and bone marrow cleansing started simultaneously, the fourth marrow cleansing commenced.

Upon completion, the Martial Practitioner's marrow fluid would evolve into something called 'True Marrow'.

This step could be said to be the foundation of the Ninth Realm's Blood Exchange, also laying the groundwork for the formation of the True Body in the future.

Crackling and popping!

Chen Ku's entire body sounded like frying beans during the marrow fluid cleansing; meanwhile, his physical constitution also underwent transformation inch by inch, turning his cultivation body into one imbued with the power of Primordial Magnetic Yin Thunder.

Successfully cultivating the Eighth Stage Huntian Overlord Body 'Taiyin Technique'.

At the same time, he also stepped into the fourth marrow cleansing during this process.

Whoosh~~

Chen Ku suddenly opened his eyes, exhaling a breath, with the divine light in his eyes as sharp as if it could pierce through the firmament before him, adding a somewhat chilly aura to his whole disposition.

Calculating on his fingers.

Four days had passed, and it seemed likely that Master Tian Hai would come to the Five Elements Land to find him.

Just like that.

Preparing to leave the Hero King Realm to see what's happening outside.

But to be safe, it was prudent to send out an incarnation to scout first.

Chen Ku released a little bee.

Then he waited in the Hero King Realm.

A moment later.

With the return of the little bee, it was obvious that half of its wings were lost, seemingly hit by some wave impact.

"Hmm? That hunchbacked old man is still going mad outside?"

Chen Ku immediately began reading the memory of the little bee.

Only to see.

His perspective suddenly immersed into the memory of the little bee.

Bang!

Almost at the exact moment his bee incarnation flew out of the Hero King Realm, he saw two figures in the mountain forest, colliding together as if they were Heavenly Gods.

One figure, though hunched with a bent back, had gray hair flowing like a raging Fierce Ape, stepped toward the other figure.

Rumbling!

An overwhelmingly intense aura swept across eight directions, making the ground appear like water surface, with ripples raising waves of dirt, several zhang high, crashing down towards a barefooted monk in a gray robe.

The barefooted old monk, engaged in battle with the hunched old man, had tattered clothes, a madness in his eyes, like a demon monk, and pushed a palm with all his strength toward the hunched old man.

The terrifying Divine Thought pushed the air in the long sky like a tide, hacking towards the boundless wave of dirt.

That monk.

Was Master Tian Hai.

He had entered the Dead Man Dam in the Five Elements Land after not returning for five days as per his agreement with the "Sect Master," to find Chen Ku.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the Dead Man Dam, he sensed the Qi Mechanism of the hunched old man, who had been relentlessly bombarding the forest in that place for four consecutive days.

Master Tian Hai directly asked if the other had seen his own Sect Master.

This question caused the eyes of the Old Man Jin to turn red, finding out that there was a Tenth Realm backer, which explained the audacity to act against a successor of the Fighting God Palace.

Without another word, he attacked Master Tian Hai directly.

Both individuals were Tenth Realm Great Abilities.

Their engagement created shockwaves that even the incarnation of Chen Ku, the little bee, was brushed by when it emerged from the Hero King Realm.

Although it was only a wisp of wind blown from over ten li away, it almost caused the little bee to be destroyed.

"Master Uncle Tian Hai!"

Chen Ku immediately emerged from the Hero King Realm.

"I must warn him not to underestimate the battle technique of this old codger from the Fighting God Palace."

He only hoped that Master Tian Hai could take him away, so that Divine Martial Academy could stand for him, as today, Divine Martial Academy drew the attention of the entire world, representing the face of the Imperial Court.

Even if the Fighting God Palace was the world's Holy Land, it could not act too excessively.

...

Bang!

Master Tian Hai's raging Great Wisdom Divine Thought was fierce and dominant, rising and reinforcing that Palm Seal, like a golden dragon, tipping over the yellow mud wave stamped out by the hunched old man.

Yet,

Behind the yellow mud wave, the figure of the hunched old man was nowhere to be seen.

Master Tian Hai suddenly lifted his head.

He saw above him, the hunched old man somehow already up high, with the outline of a towering golden giant ape behind him.

The giant ape clenched a Fist Mark in its palm, pulsing like a heart, swinging towards Master Tian Hai.

"Fighting God Palace's 'Heart Monkey Seal'."

Master Tian Hai looked at the Fist Mark coming down from above onto him, his expression scarcely moved, but his demeanor unchanged, suddenly clapping his hands fiercely in front of his chest.

Om Mani Padme Hum!

Countless Sanskrit sounds resounded around his body like a bronze bell, extremely loud, instantaneously suppressing all the sounds between heaven and earth.

Next, behind Master Tian Hai appeared innumerable hand seals.

Like a Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara emerging behind him.

Majestic, compassionate, supreme.

The next instant.

Seemingly countless arms, like wild dragons, faced the giant ape's Fist Mark and pounded towards it.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant, hundreds of punches clashed!

The earth shook, mountains trembled, the ground cracked open.

The space vibrated slightly, with ripple layers rising.

Within a few li around them, hundreds of tons of dirt and dust shot into the sky, forming a gigantic mushroom cloud.

In the endless mist.

The hunched old man seemed to cough:

"Putuo Mountain's 'Thousand-Handed Compassionate Travel Map', I never expected a once minor sect to still leave behind an heir, mastering this Divine Skill, but..."

Yet just as the hunched old man's words were unfinished at that moment.

"Master Uncle Tian Hai, beware of the fighting technique of the Fighting God Palace, I am here, there's no need to entangle with him, just return to Divine Martial Mountain."

Upon hearing the familiar voice.

The hunched old man's eyes turned crimson, immediately revealing streaks of blood, twisting his head to see Chen Ku appearing in the long sky several tens of li away, shouting towards this place.

"You little bastard, die!"

The hunched old man indiscriminately yelled and unleashed a terrifying Tenth Realm strike towards Chen Ku, roaring:

"Pay for my nephew Qingyun's life!"
