Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

"What a pity... Luo Nanzhao is dead; otherwise, with the seven tokens of us seven and him being a Tenth Realm Divinity Transformation, he could unleash the full power of this Desolate Sky Tower. With the support of the spirit veins below, we might even attempt to suppress that Thirteenth Realm Great Demon, this big creature, whose whole body is a treasure!" said an old man in gray.

"The way Fellow Daoist Luo died was peculiar. The one who killed him vanished just like that into the void."

This was said by a female Tenth Realm Qi Refiner who accompanied them, sighing as she looked at the vast and limitless power of the spirit veins below being violently extracted, unable to control her heartbeat, she said:

"However, the purpose of our journey has been completely fulfilled. Unexpectedly, the spirit mine we randomly located has a reserve of tens of thousands of jin of spiritual jade. It seems the information indicating this mountain range can supply the spiritual energy needed for thirty million Qi Cultivators' training for ten years is indeed true!!"

"The mysterious young man who killed Luo Nanzhao has forbidden techniques related to space. I suspect he might have some sort of Cave Heaven on him, into which he escaped."

Lin Dong, the main formation master, responded to the others' words, saying:

"But it's okay. Although Fellow Daoist Luo has died, leaving one less person to oversee the grand formation, these spirit veins below are too vast. We have been devouring them for eight or nine days. With a little more, we can unleash the 'Forbidden Divine Power' within this 'Desolate Sky Tower'. By then, it will be the end of the Fierce Ape and the incomprehensible Martial Practitioners of Ji Country!"

The other five Qi Refiners were also thrilled upon hearing this.

This is because, within the Desolate Sky Tower lies a divine skill named 'Star Refining Demon Slaying Saber', an ultimate skill of the Yuan Empire's royal family, sealed within by the Imperial Uncle of the Thirteenth Prince. It can be summoned as long as there is sufficient mana or spiritual energy.

The Star Refining Demon Slaying Saber is the supreme divine skill inherited from a "Stars Sacred Scripture" in the Immortal Temple by the Yuan Empire's royal family, akin to the 'Seven Star Handprint' practiced by the Thirteenth Prince, an ultimate skill that can harness the power of the stars.

At this moment, under the intense control of Lin Dong and the other six Qi Refiners, they saw that as the ever-flowing spiritual energy poured into the pagoda,

In the midday sky, tiny star points began to form, slowly converging towards the tower's pinnacle.

A blade, its tip, started to form at the top of the tower.

From afar outside the grand formation, Sun Dianqing saw the new changes on the pagoda and immediately realized that the group of Qi Cultivators within the grand formation was about to take new actions.

And accompanying the persistent emergence of the blade tip, a wave of fear washed over him.

It seemed that once the blade took on its complete form, even that Thirteenth Realm 'Yuan Taigong' would suffer severe injury.

In great urgency, he called out:

"Yuan Taigong, do not hesitate any further, please quickly invoke the power of Wuji Mountain, otherwise... Once that blade takes shape, all will be too late!"

The immense Violent Demon Ape, being a Thirteenth Realm Great Demon and a demon, had a far sharper sense of crisis than human Martial Practitioners.

Almost at the instant the blade tip emerged, this colossal creature subconsciously leaped up from its place, crouched afar like a small mountain, with blood-red eyes as big as houses, flickering as if a decision had been made, then it let out a roar towards the pagoda.

Roar~~~

This roar shook the world, stirring the vast sky, containing seemingly special syllables, was seen to witness an unprecedented force brewing in the forbidden ground behind the Violent Demon Ape at Wuji Mountain!

"What is that?"

Within the formation, Lin Dong's expression also changed.

He could feel the mountain held an incredible power awakened by the Fierce Ape.

He spoke immediately:

"Hurry, we can't wait any longer. That beast is also about to employ unpredictable techniques. Everyone quickly spray out the essence blood of your primordial spirits to assist in the formation of the 'Star Refining Demon Slaying Saber'!"

The other five Qi Refiners also sensed something ominous.

Without any hesitation:

"Understood!"

Five people simultaneously squeezed out their primordial spirit or blood essence, spraying it onto the formation command flags in their hands.

Whoosh~~

In an instant, having absorbed the blood essence of six people's primordial spirits, the blade's tip atop the pagoda burst into a rapid growth as if fueled by fire, condensing directly into a blade aimed at the distant Violent Demon Ape!

"Prepare, cut!"

Lin Dong shouted.

Six people simultaneously made gestures, controlling the formation, mastering the Desolate Sky Tower, and aiming the blade's tip at the Violent Demon Ape.

Yet.

Just as the blade was about to complete its final inch.

A wisp of yellow sand drifted into the formation.

Accompanying the swirling yellow sand.

Unexpectedly, a silhouette appeared out of nowhere in the formation, clad in a black robe, face indistinct...

It was Chen Ku!

Originally, he had leaped out from the Hero King Realm, watching the battle unfold. This scene was somewhat breathtaking for him, not anticipating such a transformation in the outside world during the ten days of his secluded breakthrough.

Moreover, he had just understood the meaning within the Violent Demon Ape's roar, an ancient language, exchanging sacrifice, its intent being:

Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!

They were three syllables concerning dragons.

Chen Ku had initially thought to observe what the old ape could summon, perhaps it truly related to the Dragon Head Ginseng's ability to grow a dragon head and develop spiritual wisdom, but soon he noticed the Star Refining Demon Slaying Saber within the grand formation...
