Chapter 0894: Minor Progress in Cultivation

Years passed.

One day, suddenly, the Yellow Dragon, who was sitting in mid-air, trembled. The ordinary sword finally merged completely with its body.

The first step of the Supreme Weapon Transformation Technique!

Next came the second step—the Yellow Dragon had to use the cultivation method to transform its own body completely into a weapon-like entity.

The first step was the foundation; the second step was the most crucial part of mastering the Supreme Weapon Transformation Technique!

Only by successfully transforming its own body could it be considered to have made minor progress in this technique!

However, although it had taken the Yellow Dragon years to fully merge with the ordinary sword, completing the transformation would not be achieved in just a few years, decades, or even centuries.

Moreover, the pain of the second transformation was even greater than that of the first.

Yet the Yellow Dragon hesitated not. After completing the first step, it continued to use the cultivation method for the second transformation. In fact, by this point, it had no way back.

Painwaves persisted, with blood seeping continuously from its body. Once dried, it was covered by new blood—layer after layer, countless layers in total.

From afar, the Yellow Dragon resembled something wrapped in a blood cocoon.

From within the blood cocoon, occasional rays of brilliance would shine through.

A hundred years passed, then two hundred, five hundred years.

After five hundred years, the blood cocoon grew larger and larger. Inside, it was completely silent, with no sign of life force—the Yellow Dragon was in a state of apparent death.

If anyone had been there at that time, they would have noticed that the signs of life in the Yellow Dragon seemed to be fading steadily.

“It has actually begun to enter the weapon transformation stage?!” Outside, Emperor Zhong was overjoyed upon sensing the Yellow Dragon’s condition.

The weapon transformation stage meant the transformation had begun!

If it continued and succeeded, the Yellow Dragon would have crossed the most difficult step in its practice of the Supreme Weapon Transformation Technique!

Six hundred years, seven hundred years, a thousand years—over a thousand years passed!

The blood cocoon had turned into a huge blood sphere. Now, rays of brilliance kept shining through it, and the cocoon began to vibrate violently. The life within seemed about to awaken!

The air currents around the blood cocoon kept swirling, growing increasingly fierce.

One storm after another formed.

Finally, the brilliance within the blood cocoon burst forth like waves. With a loud “boom,” the cocoon exploded violently, revealing the Yellow Dragon’s figure.

The Yellow Dragon stood up abruptly, its aura having changed completely compared to before.

At that moment, a figure flashed by, and Emperor Zhong flew over. Seeing Huang Long, he exclaimed in delight, “Huang Long, you’ve successfully completed the second step of the Supreme Transformation Art! I never expected you to actually succeed!” Through Huang Long’s body, Emperor Zhong’s divine eyes saw that his flesh and blood had completely disappeared, replaced by pieces of crystal! Yes, crystal! Now, Huang Long’s entire body was made up of crystal. Looking at Emperor Zhong’s surprised face, Huang Long smiled and said, “That’s right. I’ve finally succeeded in the second step of the Supreme Transformation Art!” He was also overjoyed inside. The most difficult part was behind him; now, it was time to continuously devour higher-grade weapons to enhance his own strength and defense. Although devouring each weapon would still cause extreme pain in the future, it paled in comparison to the suffering he had endured over the past thousand years. “Good, I’ll continue to meditate and practice the Supreme Transformation Art. You take care of everything related to the Sacred Cauldron!” said Huang Long. Emperor Zhong nodded. “Don’t worry. Leave it to me!” Immediately afterward, Huang Long vanished and began devouring even higher-grade weapons. The first ordinary weapon—a great sword—was the lowest level of ordinary weapon, followed by intermediate ordinary weapons. The second intermediate ordinary weapon was also a great sword. For Huang Long, the shape of the weapon—sword, blade, axe—made no difference. Since he had already succeeded in the transformation, devouring the second intermediate ordinary weapon was much easier. It took only a few decades for him to completely devour it and integrate it into his body, turning it into part of himself! However, for the third weapon, Huang Long still chose an intermediate ordinary weapon. He knew that the higher one practiced the Supreme Transformation Art, the harder it became to make progress. Just like when a child learns, a solid foundation is crucial. So, for the third weapon, he chose to devour an intermediate ordinary weapon again. After the fourth, fifth, and up to a hundred intermediate ordinary weapons, Huang Long finally began to devour higher-grade ordinary weapons. As he devoured more and more ordinary weapons, the speed at which he integrated and transformed them increased rapidly—from dozens of years at first to just a few months. In other words, when Huang Long devoured the hundredth intermediate ordinary weapon and integrated it completely into his body, it only took a few months. Yet, devouring higher-grade ordinary weapons was several times more difficult than those of intermediate level. It took over a hundred years for Huang Long to completely integrate the first higher-grade ordinary weapon into his body. Similarly, he continued to devour a hundred such weapons. After a hundred higher-grade ordinary weapons came a hundred top-tier ordinary weapons, and only after those was it time for divine weapons!

Lower-grade divine artifacts, mid-grade divine artifacts, top-grade divine artifacts!
When the Yellow Dragon completely devoured a hundred top-grade divine artifacts, integrating them into its body and turning them into part of itself, its entire body trembled, and powerful auras emanated from it.
As these auras spread, the entire world around it shook.
By now, over 60,000 years had passed!
“Great! My strength, defense, and attack capabilities are now twice as strong as before. Even with just my own strength, I can defeat four peak warriors from different eras!” Sensing the changes in his body, the Yellow Dragon was overjoyed. Yet, despite this, it was still not satisfied. “It’s time to devour top-tier divine artifacts now!”
Top-tier divine artifacts such as Felix’s Nine Heavens Thunderbolt Spear,Bruchi’s Phoenix Fire Sword, and Durali’s Primordial Blood Dragon Hammer.
Originally, the divine artifacts like Felix’s Nine Heavens Thunderbolt Spear and Phoenix Fire Sword, which the Yellow Dragon had seized from Felix and others, had already been merged with other divine artifacts from various realms. But later, when the Yellow Dragon killed the Golden Lion Dharma King and the Illusory Light Ancestor, their spatial divine artifacts contained many top-tier artifacts—over a dozen in total.
So, the Yellow Dragon seized all the top-tier artifacts from those spatial divine artifacts and resumed its process of devouring them!
Another 30,000 years passed, during which the Yellow Dragon completely devoured those over a dozen top-tier divine artifacts, integrating them into its body and turning them into part of itself.
“Great, hahaha! The Supreme Transformation Art is truly an extraordinary technique!” The Yellow Dragon stood up, its eyes filled with the roars of countless dragons, its light shining through countless spaces as it rejoiced in its heart.
It could sense that its strength, defense, and attack capabilities were now several times stronger than before practicing the Supreme Transformation Art!
Now, the Yellow Dragon was confident that it could even defeat five peak warriors from the early stages of their eras—completely defeating them!
