Chapter 0893: Practicing the Supreme Transformation Art
“Do you really want to practice this Supreme Transformation Art? Even Donghuang Taiyi, the great emperor of the Pangu Demon Clan, didn’t dare to practice it!” Emperor Zhong looked at Huang Long.
Back then, Donghuang Taiyi was one of the rulers of the Pangu Clan, yet even he didn’t dare attempt it—just imagine how difficult and terrifying it must be to master this art!
The slightest carelessness could lead to the destruction of both body and soul!
Huang Long declared resolutely, “So what if both body and soul are destroyed? The path to enlightenment involves fighting and competing against heaven at every step! If one fears and hesitates at such moments, they will never achieve sanctity!”
Emperor Zhong nodded. “Very well. I will now impart the incantations and mental techniques of the Supreme Transformation Art to you!” With that, he sent a beam of starlight into Huang Long’s mind.
Instantly, Huang Long’s mind was filled with cultivation incantations and mental techniques. He immediately understood why Emperor Zhong said it was so difficult to master this art—in fact, it seemed utterly impossible!
Because this art required completely transforming a divine artifact into part of one’s own body, integrating it into every corner—even the sea of the soul!
Divine artifacts were made from divine iron, divine stones, and various innate divine materials, with structures and compositions completely different from human flesh. Integrating them fully into one’s body would cause extreme pain due to rejection!
Not to mention, the agony of merging the soul with these artifacts was even more unimaginable.
Merging the artifact into the body and soul was just the first step!
The second step required enduring excruciating pain to gradually transform one’s body and soul into something similar to the artifact—essentially turning oneself into an artifact!
Only after every corner of one’s body had been transformed into an artifact-like state could the Supreme Transformation Art be considered partially mastered. As one continued to devour more artifacts, strengthening both body and soul beyond human limits to become an existence akin to a great divine artifact, would the art truly succeed!
Yet each time an ultimate divine artifact was consumed, one had to endure unbearable pain.
It could be said that practicing this art meant risking one’s life at every step!
The slightest mistake could prevent the body and soul from merging with the artifact, resulting in their destruction and the loss of both body and soul.
The extreme danger of mastering the Supreme Transformation Art made Huang Long take a deep breath.
“Emperor Zhong, protect me while I continue to use the grand array to refine Ancestral Huaguang. I’m going into seclusion now!” After a while, Huang Long said calmly.
“Do you really want to practice this Supreme Transformation Art?!” Emperor Zhong was astonished.
Huang Long nodded and then vanished into the depths of the Sacred Cauldron’s void. Seeing this, Emperor Zhong could only protect Huang Long and continue to activate the Sacred Cauldron Formation to refine Ancestral Illusion Light. “Perhaps he will succeed in his cultivation!” Emperor Zhong thought as he watched Huang Long disappear.
After entering the depths of the Sacred Cauldron’s void, Huang Long sat down in seclusion. Instead of starting to cultivate right away, he first delved into the mantras and mental techniques of the Supreme Transformation Art. This art was extremely dangerous—any carelessness could lead to the destruction of both body and spirit. Therefore, Huang Long needed to fully comprehend its mantras and techniques before beginning cultivation.
Huang Long entered a state of emptiness and meditation.
Time passed. Years, decades, a hundred years, and over three hundred years went by. Huang Long remained motionless.
Suddenly, one day, he opened his eyes. With a flash of brilliance, a weapon flew out from within the Sacred Cauldron’s void.
After three hundred years of study, it was finally time to begin cultivating the Supreme Transformation Art!
This weapon was not a divine artifact but an ordinary one—a common weapon used by low-level warriors in realms like the Hengyuan Realm. Now, Huang Long had to start by devouring such ordinary weapons.
It was a large sword.
Huang Long opened his mouth and sucked in the sword, then used the mental techniques of the Supreme Transformation Art to embed it deep into his body.
Yes, embed it!
A sword being forcibly inserted into the body!
Unbearable pain surged through him, yet Huang Long remained immobile, continuing to practice his techniques. The sword sank deeper into his body. After over an hour, it was completely embedded.
Next, Huang Long used his techniques to cause the sword to dissolve, allowing it to seep into every corner of his body and gradually merge with it. Waves of excruciating pain struck again and again.
Huang Long was a half-saint powerhouse, his true body being the Hunyuan Immortal Body. Normally, he shouldn’t have felt pain. But cultivating thisdefying heaven’s translation: defying heaven’s Supreme Transformation Art rendered useless even the Hunyuan Immortal Bodies of saints, the Hunyuan Immortal Bodies of half-saints, or the Divine King Bodies of divine kings!
Because during cultivation, the practitioner’s true body would become completely like that of an ordinary person.
In other words, as Huang Long cultivated the Supreme Transformation Art, he was using his mortal flesh to let the sword be embedded and then slowly dissolve and merge within it!
This pain was a hundred, a thousand, even ten thousand times worse than having one’s flesh cut piece by piece by a knife!
Such pain could shatter a person’s soul!
Huang Long gritted his teeth, striving to keep his soul clear.
Sweat kept streaming down from his forehead.
As the great sword was dissolved and continuously merged with the Yellow Dragon’s true form, powerful repulsive forces tore at its body, making it feel as though its interior was about to expand and burst. But that wasn’t all—when the fusion reached its peak, even its soul was torn apart by those forces! Pain! The Yellow Dragon couldn’t help but convulse; blood seeped from every part of its body, turning it into a bloodthirsty figure. Yet the pain persisted and grew intenser. One day passed, then two, three—ten days went by! The Yellow Dragon felt its soul on the verge of collapse, unable to endure such inhuman suffering anymore. Both its soul and body seemed no longer its own. “Could it be that I’m truly destined to be destroyed completely?” Its consciousness grew blurred. Just as its mind faded and its soul was about to collapse, a green light suddenly appeared in its mind. It grew larger and larger, eventually covering the entire sea of its soul. It was the World Tree! The legendary artifact among all worlds! Wherever the green light from the World Tree shone, the sea of the Yellow Dragon’s soul reassembled, and the repulsive forces caused by the liquid formed from the great sword disappeared. The Yellow Dragon’s consciousness gradually returned. “The World Tree?!” Realizing the anomaly in its soul’s sea, it was filled with joy. Though the World Tree protected its soul, the pain from merging with the great sword still came from every corner of its body. But as long as the World Tree kept its soul from collapsing, the Yellow Dragon believed that one day it would succeed in mastering the Supreme Transformation Technique!
