Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

Chen Ku stood at a vantage point overlooking the Demon Cave, though he was making this risky decision, he remained cautious, thinking to himself:

"Sacrificing to the Heavenly Demon King in this manner, it's hard to ensure that there won't be any uncontrollable situations. If I get too entangled with the Heavenly Demon King, it won't be a good thing, so it's best not for my main body to perform the sacrifice, but to use an incarnation. This way, even if something unexpected happens, at most I'll just abandon a transformation avatar without affecting myself."

Internally, he still had quite a bit of trust in the Transformation Diagram.

He made up his mind.

Then he took a deep breath, thinking:

"Let's give it a try. If it works, I might even obtain a strand of Tenth Realm Evil Qi and have the avatar send a message to Master Uncle Tian Hai, instructing him to lure Jin Xun from the Fighting God Palace over here."

Once the thought arose, he split off the Loose Cultivation Transformation and sent it back.

Whoosh!

A breath blew out, and the form of the Loose Cultivation Transformation flew away from his side.

...

Elsewhere.

Boom!

Old Man Jin, facing Master Tian Hai who was blocking him and allowing Chen Ku, the one who killed his martial nephew, to escape, had already entered a manic state.

"You think you can stop me? Killing my Fighting God Palace disciple? Not only he has to pay with his life, but you also, and everyone related to this matter has to pay with their lives!"

Jin Xun roared, his body rising like a dragon, forming a fist mark and fiercely striking towards Master Tian Hai.

Upon the emergence of this fist mark, the thumb clamped on the fist eye, and then, from this round fist mark, it actually evolved the famous Divine Skill of Putuo Mountain, previously displayed by Master Tian Hai.

Thousand Hands Compassionate Trip!

Countless fist marks, like pillars, pierced through the long sky, causing the air beneath the fist wind to be instantaneously compressed to a twisted state, and the surrounding earth and soil where Master Tian Hai stood were also crushed and shattered by these countless fists.

It was clearly the Battle Technique of the Fighting God Palace, transforming the famed Divine Skill of Putuo Mountain to deal with Master Tian Hai himself.

"Battle Technique!"

Master Tian Hai's eyebrows shot up sharply.

"Worthy of being a Holy Land's art!"

He faced the simulacrum of his own martial arts skill created by the opponent, and in an instant, a great array within his body lit up like a star map, seeming to reveal a Buddhist mural with one majestic monk after another, simultaneously exerting force, causing his True Yuan to link into a line, erupting explosively.

With the boost of this power, Master Tian Hai formed an odd hand seal, gently pressing it onto the ground beneath his feet.

In a moment,

hand seal touched ground, earth quake, space resounded.

Rumble!

The ground beneath him instantly seemed to turn into a sea, surging with immense terrifying terrestrial force, resembling an earth dragon turning over, rising with a will to 'suppress all demons'.

The next moment.

Facing Jin Xun's Thousand-Handed Divine Fist, Master Tian Hai pointed to the earth, invoking layer upon layer of monstrous mighty power, confronting it like a tsunami.

Fist wave collided!

The world exploded with one terrifying boom after another, like one magazine after another being instantly ignited, exploding simultaneously, the rippling shockwaves rampaged like a tidal whirlwind.

The world instantly went silent, only the collided True Yuan and Blood Qi gleamed and intertwined, scattered Blood Qi illuminating the sky!

Subsequently, the ground quaked violently, massive plumes of dust rose to the sky.

Within a few miles of their battle area, a violent explosion suddenly took place, countless fragments of soil and rocks screeched through the sky, shooting out like the strongest crossbow.

Whoosh!

Master Tian Hai's body suddenly flew back like being hit by a wave.

Bam!

Jin Xun's body also failed to stabilize in place, stagging backward, trailing a golden afterimage in the sky.

"The Sect Master has already reached a safe place, the Fighting God Palace's techniques are indeed extraordinary, continuing to fight yields no benefit, let's go!"

Master Tian Hai had already made arrangements with Chen Ku, estimating that Chen Ku had reached a safe place, he decided not to stay and fight, immediately using the momentum to disappear swiftly into the mountains and forests.

"Where are you going!"

Jin Xun wouldn't easily allow the old monk Tian Hai to leave, after retreating his body suddenly pulled back again, diving like a missile in pursuit.

However,

Master Tian Hai, not wanting to entangle with him, used Putuo Mountain's 'Step by Step Lotus' movement technique, opening a distance of dozens of li from Jin Xun within moments.

Seeing this, Jin Xun quickly evolved the Battle Technique, also employing the supreme movement technique of the Fighting God Palace, the 'Vertical Body Technique', with one leap spanning ten li.

Thus,

The two of them continued the push and pull, their figures constantly drawing near and then apart.

"This person is truly troublesome!" Master Tian Hai thought heavily.

Feeling that the opponent truly lived up to their Fighting God Palace heritage, both in movement technique and martial arts, seemed to be faintly superior.

Thinking inwardly, even if he returned to Yan Capital City, it might not be possible to shake him off, fearing that they might have to fight a life-and-death battle under the watchful eyes of everyone inside and outside Yan Capital City.

As he was thinking this.

He suddenly heard a transmission through the air:

"Master Uncle Tian Hai, it's me, Chen Ku, I've discovered something new here in the Five Elements Land, it's a Heavenly Demon Altar, Master Uncle can try to lure Jin Xun over here, I have a plan to kill him!"

Upon hearing this voice.

Master Tian Hai was slightly stunned, with his awareness as a cultivator of the Tenth Realm, he could perceive that this voice came from a group of Primordial Qi several li away.

Hmm?

Primordial Qi?

Isn't this something that can only be mastered after stepping into the Tenth Realm.

But then, he heard Chen Ku identify himself.

He only hesitated for a moment, then extended a large hand toward the Loose Cultivation Transformation's Primordial Qi form, grabbing it into his embrace.

The loose cultivator immediately spoke, "Master Uncle, this is one of my Martial Arts Divine Abilities. I can divide and transform into a Primordial Qi form to inform my true self. Time is of the essence, I'll lead the way and direct Jin Xun there."

Master Tian Hai didn't have time to be surprised that his Sect Master had such a Martial Arts Divine Ability.

After confirming Chen Ku's identity, without another word, he teleported to the location of the Underground Demon Cave according to the loose cultivator's guidance.

Before long.

Master Tian Hai and Jin Xun had arrived near the Underground Demon Cave, one leading, the other following.

"Master Uncle, it's at that location. As long as you lure Jin Xun into that area and quickly get away, I'll handle him next," the loose cultivator spoke.

"Okay."

Master Tian Hai assessed the environment ahead and immediately stormed in.

Upon reaching above the Demon Cave, he instantly felt the devil thoughts invading like Chen Ku did, but since Chen Ku could shake it off with his Mental State, with the stabilization from the Holy Heart Bodhi, Master Tian Hai quickly regained clarity in a blink.

He swiftly swept over from the top.

Upon flying out of the general range the loose cultivator defined, he looked back at the pursuing Jin Xun and formed a new seal.

He made a sweep with both hands, and in front of him, a Crystal Treasure Bottle was outlined by the Martial Arts True Essence, and he covered it over Jin Xun.

One of Putuo Mountain's Big Handprints, the Treasure Bottle Seal.

Upon appearing, it manifested a tremendously 'heavy' feeling in the sky, as if it were filled with rivers and water, causing the void to tremble.

"Treasure Bottle Seal? Using a Divine Skill in front of my Battle Technique is nothing but returning it to the source!"

Seeing the Treasure Bottle Seal suppressed by Master Tian Hai, Jin Xun reversed his hands and also made a sweep, the Battle Technique origin within him activated, and one of Putuo Mountain's supreme secrets, the Treasure Bottle Seal, formed between his hands, a shining Crystal Bottle appeared between them.

However, just as he was offering the same Treasure Bottle Seal to strike horizontally at Master Tian Hai.

Boom~

A surge of devil thoughts quickly emerged before his eyes.

The next moment.

The two Treasure Bottle Seals violently collided in the air, both bottles shattered, erupting with boundless brilliance, exploding as if a heavenly river had spilled, and light burst forth from that position.

Thundering!

Jin Xun, affected by the devil thoughts, reacted a moment slower; the terrifying surge struck him like a tide, sending him crashing down to the ground from the sky.

Staggering, with blood showing at the corner of his mouth, the elder crashed onto the ground, and simultaneously realized where this place was.

"Devil thoughts?! This is one of the ancient Dao-Demon battlefields from three thousand years ago."

Meanwhile.

He noticed Chen Ku's Qi Mechanism.

"Hmm? That brat's Qi Mechanism is nearby?!

Jin Xun, gritting his teeth, was both angry and pleased, about to instinctively use his True Yuan to reflect the heavens and observe Chen Ku's precise location.

"Hah, you really can't escape!"

However.

At that moment, he heard a distinct voice, like someone's whisper, gently ringing in his ears.

The whisper, apparently.

Yet in an instant, it spread throughout the heavens and earth of this Demon Cave, imbued with some formidable power.

"What noise is this?"

The elder turned to look, and saw, in a place dozens of li away, an old man in a purple robe, holding a black Lotus Platform, moving seven steps rapidly in all six directions.

Chanting the true names of six Heavenly Demon Kings.

Infinite Yama Sky Demon!

Infinite Freedom Sky Demon!

Infinite Doushuai Heavenly Demon!

Infinite Longevity Demon!

Infinite Degree People Demon!

Infinite Great Power Sky Demon!

...

The devilish sounds suddenly roared and rolled between heaven and earth, as if tens of thousands of demons were shrieking.

"This is..."

Jin Xun saw the actions of the purple-robed old man, the Lotus Platform in his hand, and then, hearing the names he chanted, suddenly shrieked as if he had seen a ghost:

"This is the Ritual of the Heavenly Demon King from the Demon Country, three thousand years ago. This place is..."

He looked down.

Only to see, with the chanting of the purple-robed old man, the earth suddenly sprouted one blood-red crack after another, which, from the sky, clearly formed a gigantic Altar pattern.

"No good!!"

Jin Xun suddenly felt a descending will from an unknown space, causing a shiver down his spine, as if he had become a fish on a chopping board.

In the distance.

Chen Ku's true form, having long hidden hundreds of miles away, watched as his 'Purple Gold Elder' incarnation, which he was prepared to discard, completed the ritual, and suddenly...

A massive eye encompassing dozens of li materialized between the skies.

Its black pupil.

Whirred rapidly within the colossal eye in the sky and finally... locked firmly onto the sacrifice, its gaze descending upon Jin Xun.

Chen Ku was slightly stunned:

"The ritual from three thousand years ago can actually be responded to so quickly, could it be... these six Heavenly Demon Kings have been waiting for someone to sacrifice to them all this time?"
