Dan Xiazi smiled lightly and reminded, "The Azure Glow is nearing its end; you must be extra cautious!"
Fang Lin Kong did not dare to be careless. He immediately utilized his expertise in energy transformation, converting all the true energy within him to match the nature of the Azure Glow. Azure Flame surged around him, and his physique grew tall and robust. A layer of intense Azure Light enveloped him, gradually materializing into a suit of Azure Armor.
For the first time, Fang Lin Kong felt such excitement because anyone with a slight understanding of Chinese mythology would know about a vast monkey with Divine Ability. This monkey was audacious and unruly, challenging the heavens and sweeping through the demon realm. Almost every child of suitable age would dream of possessing that monkey's complete set of skills, Seventy-Two Transformations, changing at will. It was an immensely attractive ability.
This legend had many admirers even among the demon race. Although transforming into a human was not particularly remarkable—any demon with some cultivation could achieve that—the ability to change freely and in countless ways, as described in the legend, remained a distant goal for many demons. To truly reach the level of Seventy-Two Transformations required not only immense demonic energy but also mastery of special techniques. The Transformation Realm was a significant hurdle for demons regarding transformation arts.
Among humans, those skilled in transformation were far fewer than among demons because humans lacked the same strong motivation. Demons transformed into human forms to attain better cultivation achievements, as the human form was deemed most suitable for training—a fact recognized by both humans and demons alike. Nevertheless, countless transformation spells had been developed by humans.
Fang Lin Kong's Mystic Transformation of the Nine Heavens was one such technique. Giant Spirit Transformation allowed one to grow or shrink at will. When reaching Dark Serpent Transformation, one could twist their body into any appearance. Fang Lin Kong felt immense pride in having mastered such divine skills.
Seeing Fang Lin Kong's shoulders shrugging as two extra arms sprouted and an eye suddenly appeared on his forehead, Dan Xiazi couldn't help but laugh at the sight. However, he was also quite puzzled and asked, "Nephew, it seems you are not practicing our Kunlun Celestial Path's Eight-Nine Yuan Skill? At your level with Eight-Nine Yuan Skill, you should be able to manifest divine eyes, yet you can't change so freely!"
Just as Fang Lin Kong was about to respond to Dan Xiazi, an overwhelming will suddenly swept over them. Dan Xiazi quickly raised his Heavenly Evil Blue Robe as a warning. Fang Lin Kong had never felt such a powerful presence before; although the Azure Glow and Golden Radiance still stretched far ahead, he could already faintly see their end.
This unmatched will sent shivers down Fang Lin Kong's spine upon mere contact. At the tail end of the azure and gold energies gathered dozens of Azure Gods and Celestial Sages who had been tested by this powerful will. Alongside Fang Lin Kong, two other Celestial Sages were drawn out by the immense gravitational force from the azure and gold energies.
Fang Lin Kong's heart raced; just as he was about to take action, he heard Dan Xiazi's voice beside him.
"Nephew, there is no need to panic; this is Ancient God Chaos guiding you to his Star Artifact where his divine consciousness resides. You need not resist."
Although Fang Lin Kong heard Dan Xiazi's transmission, he still felt helpless. In truth, it wasn't that he didn't want to resist; under Ancient God Chaos's colossal spirit, any spell or Xian Dao martial arts seemed utterly meaningless.
Two Celestial Sages were chosen alongside Fang Lin Kong. One had a pair of Nine-Colored Phoenix wings sprouting from their back, their small frame covered in shimmering feathers. The other was unlike any typical Celestial Sage; they were enveloped in a suit of pure white armor, surrounded by a layer of swirling colors, with countless golden lights forming intricate patterns that flickered in and out of existence. Fang Lin Kong sensed the immense power radiating from these two Celestial Sages, feeling that they were not any weaker than himself. Although he no longer had a detector, he estimated that their energy levels were close to one hundred thousand.
"These beings might not be much weaker than Kyo Kusanagi! I wonder what I will encounter next?"
As Fang Lin Kong marveled at the strength of the two Celestial Sages, he confronted his own worries about the future. However, they were drawn together, flying at incredible speed, and soon Fang Lin Kong saw a massive sphere of light ahead. If it could be compared to anything, this enormous sphere was likely not much smaller than the moon.
The exterior of this golden metallic structure was composed of some unknown material, with holes of various sizes arranged in an orderly fashion. Colorful flames shot out from these holes, forming an energy membrane that extended for thousands of kilometers, creating a breathtaking sight from afar.
Dan Xiazi, protected by the Heavenly Evil Blue Robe, managed to evade the mental scan of Ancient God Chaos. He secretly wiped away cold sweat; his Heavenly Evil Blue Robe was merely a hastily crafted artifact that could only shield him from Ancient God Chaos's mental field. If Ancient God Chaos grew suspicious and conducted a deeper investigation, discovering this blind spot in the mental scan and activating a higher-level mental field, Dan Xiazi would no longer be able to hide.
Seeing Fang Lin Kong being drawn away by Ancient God Chaos's divine consciousness, he quickly broke free from the constraints of the azure and gold energies and transformed into a deep blue light to follow closely behind. Dan Xiazi had entered Ancient God Chaos's body several times before but had never seen the true form of Ancient God Chaos's headquarters or the Star Artifact. Witnessing it now shocked him even more than it did Fang Lin Kong.
Cultivators pursue the purification of their consciousness until it is devoid of distractions and emotional fluctuations, abandoning all desires—both positive and negative. However, they do not forsake their innate nature or purity. Some misguided practitioners sacrifice their humanity to achieve their goals, ultimately walking down an irreversible path and becoming monsters devoid of any trace of their original consciousness. Such beings are often regarded as having fallen into demonic paths and are shunned.
Ancient God Chaos resembled those practitioners among humans who have discarded all emotions and desires. Its mental waves were vast and unmatched, irresistible; even after ascending for a millennium, Dan Xiazi felt insignificant in comparison. His power seemed trivial next to Ancient God Chaos.
Fang Lin Kong's thoughts were less complicated than Dan Xiazi's; his ability to analyze energy surpassed his current cultivation level. Although Ancient God Chaos's mental waves were incredibly complex and interconnected like a web, in an instant, Fang Lin Kong perceived that Ancient God Chaos had unleashed tens of thousands of divine thoughts to manipulate his internal organs. He felt as if every flaw in his being was under someone else's control. If Ancient God Chaos wished to kill him, it would only take a single thought for him to be utterly defenseless.
To Fang Lin Kong, Ancient God Chaos resembled a supercomputer—its commands intricate yet orderly, devoid of any emotional fluctuations; everything was perfect and flawless.
Fang Lin Kong attempted to simulate Ancient God Chaos's consciousness but found that he could only split off about ten divine thoughts before suffering intense headaches. However, he also recognized the advantage of such extensive mental division: during battle, it allowed for perfect calculations of an enemy's every move and prepared countermeasures accordingly. Although he could only split off those ten divine thoughts for a brief moment, that instant was enough for him to identify or force out an enemy's weakness and potentially defeat an opponent several times stronger than himself.
"My servants! You have completed my trials, which brings me great joy. I shall grant you my will to clear out the intruders within me!"
Almost simultaneously, three beams of light rose from the colossal Star Artifact that housed Ancient God Chaos's divine consciousness.
Three distinct sets of armor, each radiating unmatched power, descended from the heavens, replacing the equipment worn by Fang Lin Kong and the two Celestial Sages.
The armor on Fang Lin Kong was rugged and imposing, exuding an indescribable aura of spiritual pressure. Its bronze hue suggested a solid and sturdy construction, yet it did not hinder movement in the slightest; no matter how he moved his limbs, he felt completely unrestricted. The helmet featured a protective visor with seven long, sharp spikes adorned with countless intricate totems of unknown origin. A tremendous energy resonated from it, producing a crisp crackling sound with even the slightest touch. The broad pauldrons on his upper body bore a divine hammer, the ultimate weapon for combat. The fierce aura emanating from it was so overwhelming that Fang Lin Kong questioned whether it could shatter the Earth itself. Meanwhile, the chest plate subtly pulsed with an ancient energy that flowed slowly; with a bit of analysis, Fang Lin Kong concluded that it was a defensive array. While not as unpredictable as the Thirty-Three Heavens Sealing Technique, this array was far more domineering and powerful.
Upon examining the arm guards, Fang Lin Kong discovered not only offensive enhancement capabilities but also two immense storage compartments filled with energy projectiles of unknown nature. He believed their power and quantity surpassed that of most missile stockpiles held by countries on Earth.
The entire suit of armor contained tens of thousands of operational arrays with various functions, perfectly integrated into a mobile fortress for both offense and defense. Even without tapping into its powers, Fang Lin Kong could sense its might.
"This is what Ancient God Chaos provides for its employees? Looks like the benefits are quite generous!"
Fang Lin Kong glanced at himself and then at the other two Celestial Sages; their armor resembled battle robes more than anything else. In terms of style, it was far more splendid than his own, radiating an air of unparalleled nobility amidst dazzling rays of light.
"Accept my sacred consciousness! Then go forth and expel that vile invader!"
As the divine armor enveloped the three of them, a dark luminescence descended upon them. Fang Lin Kong's Inner Universe was suddenly invaded. All nine of his Yuan Shen opened their eyes in unison to confront this invading will.
"We can no longer hide!"
Fang Lin Kong and Dan Xiazi shouted in unison.
Compared to Fang Lin Kong's decisive and immediate resistance, Dan Xiazi's choice was much more difficult. The moment the three sets of armor appeared, he found it hard to contain himself. Such high-level battle robes were already stronger than any magical artifact he had refined himself. It took centuries or even millennia to cultivate a single magical treasure; acquiring one like this meant saving hundreds of years.
When the dark luminescence emerged later, Dan Xiazi could no longer wait. Fang Lin Kong's cultivation was still shallow; he couldn't perceive the hidden bead within that resembled Ancient God Chaos's true form. Treasures imbued with their own will often possessed boundless power once refined into magical artifacts. Moreover, Ancient God Chaos had already sensed his presence.
"Damn it! I'll fight! You just take care of yourself!"
Dan Xiazi could tell at a glance that the original entity split from Ancient God Chaos, though it could not compare to the main body, was still unmatched. Fang Lin Kong would surely struggle to protect Yuan Shen. Suddenly, the Heavenly Evil Blue Robe surged, radiating a stunning azure light that instantly severed Ancient God Chaos's connection to the two Celestial Sages.
Perhaps in Fang Lin Kong's eyes, Ancient God Chaos was an unbeatable existence, but to a transcendent cultivator like Dan Xiazi, the immense spiritual power of Ancient God Chaos was not an irresistible force.
In an instant, the two Celestial Sages found themselves stripped of all resistance by Dan Xiazi's mysterious methods. He took both them and the original entity of Ancient God Chaos away. The ensuing mental fluctuations were something Dan Xiazi had no time to contend with.
The Heavenly Evil Blue Robe detached and transformed into an endless curtain of light. Although Ancient God Chaos's will crashed against it and immediately shattered the robe's defense, it failed to grasp even a corner of Dan Xiazi's garment.
The torn Heavenly Evil Blue Robe scattered into countless blue shards, drifting in the boundless void. After a furious roar, a red light rose from Ancient God Chaos's Star Artifact, sweeping through and obliterating the blue shards.
"Newly promoted Divine General! Go hunt down that foolish intruder!"
"Ancient Demon Chaos! I believe you should be confronting me; set aside everything else for now!"
A massive dragon-shaped figure suddenly rose from Fang Lin Kong, its presence rivaling that of Ancient God Chaos in this chaotic space.
The consciousness of the Divine Beast White Dragon descended through Fang Lin Kong's physical form as a bridge, entering into Ancient God Chaos.
Fang Lin Kong endured the excruciating tearing sensation threatening to shatter his soul. He had no idea when the White Dragon had tampered with him. This transcendent will had surpassed the limits of his body. Had it not been for Dark Serpent Transformation significantly enhancing his capacity to bear energy, Fang Lin Kong would have already collapsed under the strain.
