Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

The world fell silent.

Only the words of Hua Yuexian echoed in everyone's hearts.

"I, Hua Yuexian, offer you an opportunity. Become my disciple, and from today onward, you will be the next Palace Master of the Fighting God Palace after me!"

What is happening?

Weren't they here to demand an explanation?

How did it turn into a situation where he wanted to take Senior Brother Chen as a disciple?

Even those students who had been forced to kneel on the ground due to Hua Yuexian's imposing aura momentarily forgot their shock and fear. They looked up to the sky, filled with disbelief and confusion.

Chen Ku was particularly taken aback.

He was stunned.

What is Hua Yuexian's real intention?

He had, after all, killed Hua Yuexian's disciple and dealt with a Tenth Realm powerhouse of the Fighting God Palace, albeit after being provoked first, so he felt no guilt.

But no matter what, he couldn't have expected this turn of events.

Hua Yuexian's expression remained calm, indifferent to what others thought. He simply looked at Chen Ku and said:

"The Battle Technique of our Fighting God Palace can only be comprehended by those with supreme talent. Once mastered, all martial arts under heaven can be easily grasped, using the methods of others to counter them. At the highest level, you can effortlessly evolve all sorts of Divine Power Martial Arts. You've just witnessed the fights of Qingyun and Senior Brother Jin, yet you learned it. This qualification of yours nearly matches mine."

"Our Fighting God Palace has always valued the talent and potential of its disciples. If you become my disciple, then even if we have lost a Tenth Realm and a high Qi Fortune disciple, your presence would make up for the loss."

These words fell.

Everyone was silent.

They looked somewhat peculiarly at Hua Yuexian.

No one could have imagined that the mind of the foremost young talent would operate in such a manner.

Perhaps only Zu Dengfeng and the present Hall Masters could understand this mindset.

This is indeed the way the Fighting God Palace operates.

Never bound by emotional ties, everything revolves around benefits, prioritizing the interests of the Fighting God Palace above all.

As long as a matter, when calculated, is found to maximize the benefits of the Fighting God Palace, even disciples and elders can be sacrificed to pave the way for the interests of the entire Martial Arts Holy Land.

And the tone Hua Yuexian used now.

Clearly stated that if Chen Ku could join the Fighting God Palace, he would surpass several Jin Xun and Hua Qingyun combined.

The key is they also agreed with this calculation.

Chen Ku, who joined the Divine Martial Mountain only six months ago, had top-tier qualifications, comprehension, and root bone. His cultivation speed could be described as monstrous. In just half a year, he broke through two major realms and seven minor realms.

Such a prodigy is practically another version of Hua Yuexian.

So, it's not surprising that Hua Yuexian wanted to use Chen Ku's entry to the Fighting God Palace to resolve conflicts. Some even put themselves in the same position and thought they could accept such an approach.

However.

Zu Dengfeng did not wait for Chen Ku to respond. He stepped forward and shouted:

"Hua Yuexian, who do you think you are, what qualifications do you have to openly steal someone from the Imperial Court's restricted area? Chen Ku belongs to the Imperial Court, a Daji Martial Master, an authentic first-tier elite student of the Divine Martial Academy. He cannot join the Fighting God Palace."

As the words fell.

Zu Dengfeng snorted coldly:

"Today, you trespass into the Imperial Court's restricted area uninvited, and spoke such disrespectful words about the Imperial Court. How can I let you continue with such nonsense? Will you leave by yourself, or shall I send you off from the Divine Martial Mountain?"

"Oh?"

On the back of the Vermilion Bird, Hua Yuexian lifted his eyelids slightly.

He smiled faintly at Zu Dengfeng:

"Zu Dengfeng, I know you. Back then, you managed to become the top Martial Arts Scholar entirely because there were no heroes at the time. The Martial Arts Destiny of that era was not as vigorous as it is now. Your mere Twelfth Realm Life and Death Nirvana allowed you to dominate the world. In today's world, you wouldn't even make it into the top ten."

Though Hua Yuexian spoke lightly.

Zu Dengfeng knew he wasn't wrong.

The matter of Martial Arts Destiny is quite mysterious, especially in a world where the Fengwu Temple is revered. Destiny, the environment, and the roots of heroes are interconnected.

In the past, when the previous dynasty, the Great Hong, collapsed, its Destiny spread across the Martial World, invigorating the Late Hong Martial World.

Causing heroes to emerge, and Heaven King level Fourteen Realm powerhouses became abundant. All this happened within three to forty years.

Even Fifteen Realm Emperors, Martial Arts Saints, appeared in fives and sixes.

When Zu Dengfeng participated in the martial exam, the world was peaceful. The Daji Dynasty concentrated all its Destiny within the Imperial Court, leaving the Martial World and civilians with little Destiny, producing few talents.

In recent years.

The Daji Dynasty began encountering various problems, seemingly like a leaking water jar, letting martial destiny spill into the world, once again fostering rising heroes.

This is evident from the Dragon Abyss Genius List, which far surpasses its predecessors in quality.

But Zu Dengfeng was not shaken in mind by Hua Yuexian's words, for even in such circumstances, he emerged as the leading talent from the millions who crossed the single-log bridge of the national martial exam.

"Let's speak with our weapons."

Wearing the Heavenly King Kui Star Armor, Zu Dengfeng said no more. A spear appeared in his hand, and the Kui Star Armor on him shimmered, enveloping him. Instantly, his entire being radiated an unceasing brilliance, exuding an immeasurably noble aura, as if a Heaven King descended upon the earth.

Swoosh!!

Zu Dengfeng took the lead in attacking, the thirteen realm shattering void qi mechanism surged and roared from head to toe, making one feel that the space behind him was folding together.

This is precisely the realm of Shattering Void.

The so-called Shattering Void refers to breaking the membrane between the human body and the heaven and earth void, not only breaking the void, but also shattering the vacuum within the body, thus laying the foundation for opening a martial arts cave heaven within.

If one can complete this step,

then truly possessing a martial arts cave heaven within the body, a small cave mansion world, every move would encompass the void world, triggering heavenly phenomena, a Fourteenth Realm Heavenly King level powerhouse.

Whoosh!

Zu Dengfeng is currently in the Thirteenth Realm Shattering Void state, though he's not yet perfect, he has grasped the mysteries of space power, wielding the power of heaven and earth void.

With one spear thrust, he aimed straight at Hua Yuexian's brow.

Purple Flame Snake Spear!

Not only a martial art, but also a martial arts divine skill, in an instant, it directly shrank the space between the two, arriving at Hua Yuexian's brow in the blink of an eye.

The speed was as fast as spatial teleportation.

At this moment, everyone on Divine Martial Mountain couldn't see clearly. They just saw that as soon as Instructor Zu struck, he reached Hua Yuexian.

"This is the power of the Thirteenth Realm Shattering Void! Ignoring spatial distance!"

Xue Bailiu did not dare to miss this opportunity. He is currently in the Eleventh Realm True Body, although his combat power can surpass realms, his cultivation is far too lacking.

It is said that after achieving great accomplishment in Shattering Void, a punch can ignore distance and even appear a thousand miles away to kill the enemy.

This truly involves the mystique of the heaven and earth void realm.

Chen Ku was also closely watching this moment.

Yet he saw,

In the face of a spear striking at his brow, the space around Hua Yuexian's body twisted, seemingly removing any possibility for him to dodge.

However, facing the spear, Hua Yuexian's expression did not change at all, casually cutting toward the spear with a palm.

The aura exposed in this palm,

actually had only the cultivation of Twelfth Realm Peak Life and Death Nirvana.

A whole major realm away from Zu Dengfeng.

Yet he forcibly tore open the twisted space in front of him with a palm, revealing the spear behind the twisted space, like a purple dragon baring its fangs.

Only three inches away from Hua Yuexian's brow.

"Hmm? Twelfth Realm Life and Death Nirvana can actually shatter the void with the flesh, no wonder there's a legend of him battling the Thirteenth Realm when he was in the Eleventh Realm, is this his Taibai Immortal Body?"

Zu Dengfeng looked at the void he twisted with a spear being breached by Hua Yuexian's casual hand, and although shocked, he had speculation about Hua Yuexian's combat strength.

However, his spear was only a few inches away from Hua Yuexian's brow. The opponent almost had no possibility of avoiding it.

As long as this spear strikes, even Hua Yuexian would have his head pierced through, his body disintegrated.

This is the power of his Purple Flame Snake Spear: one strike can shatter an opponent's internal space, causing their body to collapse.

But Hua Yuexian's face showed detachment; in that millionth of a second, two fingers pinched, appearing quickly at his own brow.

Crack!

The two fingers stood together like a sword, marvelously stopping the tip of Zu Dengfeng's spear.

An unshakable Mental Realm emanated from the two fingers.

Giving Zu Dengfeng the sense that his spear was caught between two peaks: "Taiyue Twin Peaks?"

It was the Mental Realm of the two divine peaks in Taiyue Province neighboring province.

Surprisingly, Hua Yuexian had evolved Taiyue's two peaks with battle technique into a martial arts divine ability.

Boom!

The spear tip collided with the two fingers, and then in an instant, cracks appeared on Zu Dengfeng's Purple Flame Snake Spear, unable to withstand the terrifying pressure from Hua Yuexian's two fingers.

Zu Dengfeng's tiger eyes widened, unexpectedly suffering a loss despite striking first and having a higher realm than Hua Yuexian.

He quickly retracted his hand, pulling back the Purple Flame Snake Spear, disappearing into the twisted space again, as the entire space folded and twisted violently.

"This Hua Yuexian is truly well-deserved of his name!"

Zu Dengfeng, who instantly escaped into the void, felt uneasy, and his voice floated out:

"You can actually withstand my Immortal Spear with your flesh!"

"I reckon you've never seen a Taibai Immortal Body, so how could you understand? Even if your realm far exceeds mine, before my Taibai Immortal Body comparable to immortal gold, what is your so-called Immortal Spear?"

Hua Yuexian spoke indifferently, then reversed his palm, five fingers clenched, and punched toward the twisted space in front of him.

"The so-called space is nothing but something my punch can shatter."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Like the ocean being struck, the surrounding void surprisingly emitted waves-like humming sounds, the airwaves groaning.

Space quaked, and then, the void shattered, space was really blown apart by Hua Yuexian's fleshly punch, unraveling one black fragment after another.

Zu Dengfeng then emerged from the space fragments, revealing his true form.

And this scene shocked everyone in the various halls of Divine Martial Mountain, including Chen Ku and Xue Bailiu:

"Flesh shattering space?"
