Battle Through the Heavens: Live Q&a Session - Only I Know the Answers

125: Chapter 124 Dragon TransformationChen Yang was incomparably calm as he watched the Queen Mother of the West’s hand drop and her body become increasingly illusory. He breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the Queen Mother of the West begin to turn into stardust and dissipate in the sky.

Chen Yang frowned. Just now, he had seen the corners of the Queen Mother of the West’s mouth move, though he did not know what she had said. Generally, heavenly tribulations lacked intelligence, but this Queen Mother of the West was clearly different.

She was more of a test for his back, and Chen Yang could not forget the smile on her face when she finally dissipated.

”Could it be that the system is playing tricks?”

Chen Yang shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He saw the heavenly tribulation in the sky descend as a ray of rosy light, shining upon Chen Yang’s body. Boundless energy poured into Chen Yang’s body, and in that moment, all his injuries and fatigue were restored.

Chen Yang could clearly feel his spine beginning to change, as if a young dragon were beginning to awaken. This was a sign that he was about to fully step into the Dragon Transformation Realm.

The Dragon Transformation Realm is divided into nine heavenly layers, each corresponding to nine vertebrae. It also represents the final layer of perfection for the body, which can completely break through the shackles within the body.

The nine vertebrae transform into the shape of a dragon; this is the Dragon Transformation!

Once he broke through, even in Shrouding the Heavens, he could be considered a powerhouse.

Chen Yang looked up to the sky and let out a long howl. Chen Yang’s back began to emit divine light, and a golden giant dragon seemed to be roaring. The divine light persisted for quite a while before it disappeared.

The Wheel Sea Realm, the Dao Palace Realm, and the Four Extremities Realm were completely connected, and the divine power within his body surged once again.

”Hoo...”

Chen Yang carefully felt the power surging within his body and the clarity in his mind. Now, he had achieved two things at once.

He had not only broken through to the Dragon Transformation Realm, but his soul realm had also broken through to the early stage of the Heavenly Realm. Now, Chen Yang was capable of refining eighth-tier pills with nine-colored Pill Lightning.

”So this is the Dragon Transformation.”

Divine power continuously surged from the Life Spring, traveling to his internal organs, then to his limbs, and finally connecting through his spine.

If Chen Yang were to face Gu You again now, he would surely be able to kill him in a single round. He just didn’t know if he could win if he faced a Dou Sheng.

After all, Chen Yang had never seen a Dou Sheng in action, so it was difficult to judge the gap between their realms.

Now, Chen Yang no longer needed to hide his name, and he had the confidence to head to the Central Plains. However, before he went, he had to return to the Jiama Empire first.

Chen Yang raised his hand and stored the heaven burying coffin into his Life Spring, but Chen Yang immediately frowned. In his heaven burying coffin, he had discovered an item that seemed to have been left behind by the xihuang pagoda.

Theoretically, both the Queen Mother of the West and the xihuang pagoda were manifestations of the heavenly tribulation. When the heavenly tribulation dissipated, the Queen Mother of the West and the xihuang pagoda should naturally have disappeared along with it. Yet now, Chen Yang had actually sensed a piece of strange metal inside the heaven burying coffin.

Chen Yang injected his soul into the heaven burying coffin. Inside the pitch-black coffin, a piece of green metal, about the size of an infant’s fist, was emitting green divine light!

Chen Yang was instantly shocked when he saw this piece of green metal. Could this be one of the ten great divine metals in Shrouding the Heavens?

”immortal tear green gold!”

The xihuang pagoda was crafted using this type of divine metal.

Could it be that the Queen Mother of the West left it for me?

Chen Yang looked at this piece of immortal tear green gold, completely unable to understand why.

Chen Yang did not want to think about it so much. However, with the enhancement of this divine metal, the heaven burying coffin would surely undergo a qualitative change. By then, trapping a Five-Star Dou Sheng might not be a problem at all.

Furthermore, with the enhancement of the divine metal, the hardness of the heaven burying coffin would also see a qualitative improvement, perhaps even Dou Di powerhouses would be unable to destroy it.

Chen Yang immediately sat cross-legged and, in one breath, fused this piece of divine metal into the artifact he had crafted.

”...”

Central Plains, Hall of Souls.

”Grand Heavenly Lord, this is bad!”

A man rushed into the main hall in a panic. His face was full of disbelief, as if he had seen something strange.

The last time there was such panic was when the Ninth Celestial died in the Northwest Continent. Could it be that Gu You and his group had been wiped out?

That’s impossible. I did not feel the summons of the jade slip. Gu You could not have just died like that in the Northwest Continent; he was a high-level Ban Sheng!

Thinking of this, the Grand Heavenly Lord’s eyes were filled with indifference. He felt that such a situation could simply not happen. How could Gu You have been unable to even crush the jade slip before he died?

”Being so jittery, what kind of decorum is this?”

The Grand Heavenly Lord looked at the panicked man and said indifferently, ”Speak, what is it? Don’t tell me the soul tablets of Gu You and the others have all shattered.”

As the Grand Heavenly Lord spoke, he picked up his teacup, preparing to take a sip to moisten his throat, but the following words shocked him for a century.

”Grand Heavenly Lord, the soul tablets of the Second Heavenly Venerable, Third Heavenly Venerable, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and The 8th Heavenly Venerable... have all shattered!”

The man tremblingly recounted what he had just discovered.

”Clang!”

The cup fell to the floor, making a crisp sound. The Grand Heavenly Lord’s face was full of disbelief. These were two Ban Sheng and several peak Dou Zun! How long had they been out, and they were all dead?

They hadn’t even sent back a shred of information. Wasn’t this a joke?

The Grand Heavenly Lord’s eyes gradually sank as he slowly said, ”Are you... telling the truth?”

”Yes, Grand Heavenly Lord.”

”The Heavenly Venerables’ soul tablets have all shattered!”

The man reaffirmed the information he had just stated.

The Grand Heavenly Lord immediately stood up, his eyes cold and his voice carrying a faint murderous intent as he slowly said, ”Since they are all dead, then you go and accompany them!”

Upon hearing the Grand Heavenly Lord’s words, the man immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

”Grand Heavenly Lord, this has nothing to do with me! Grand Heavenly Lord, please, spare me.”

”Ah.”

Under the pressure released by the Grand Heavenly Lord, the man knelt on the ground on both knees, his mouth still begging for mercy, but how could the Grand Heavenly Lord spare him?

”Snap!”

Under the Grand Heavenly Lord’s Dou Qi pressure, this one-star Dou Zun powerhouse, who could dominate in the outside world, was killed just like that.

The Grand Heavenly Lord instantly teleported to the Soul Tablet Palace. Looking at the entire Soul Tablet Palace where only one intact soul tablet remained, the Grand Heavenly Lord could not believe this was true.

The nine Heavenly Venerables of the Hall of Souls, which he had single-handedly built, were now reduced to only himself?

This was not real.

He had clearly given Gu You a spatial jade slip; why hadn’t he crushed it before he died? Was it possible that he simply had no opportunity?

Had this Chen Yang already become this powerful?

The Grand Heavenly Lord immediately left the place and headed to the main hall of the Hall of Souls. He now had to report this matter to the Hall Master of the Soul Hall. The Hall of Souls had actually lost over a dozen high-level combatants in succession within a short period of time.

”Speak, what matter do you have to report?”

Soul Mie Sheng sat quietly on his seat, looking down at the Grand Heavenly Lord as he spoke indifferently.

The Grand Heavenly Lord lowered his head and slowly said, ”Lord Hall Master, Gu You and the others failed in their attempt to capture Chen Yang. We may need to re-evaluate Chen Yang’s combat capabilities.”

Regarding the Hall of Souls losing so many high-level combatants at once, Soul Mie Sheng was surprisingly still this calm.

”It is of no consequence. Our clan’s grand undertaking is about to be completed. Do not worry about Chen Yang’s matter for now; just ensure that all the formations are properly set up.”

Soul Mie Sheng did not care at all about the life or death of the other Heavenly Venerables. In any case, they were not people of his Hun Clan. If they died, they died; it did not matter. The most important thing now was to ensure the formations were set up.
