NOVPUBThe raindrops fell faster and faster, instantly becoming a torrential downpour.
All the remaining members of the Chili Tribe perished under Xu Zimei’s blade, turning into dead souls.
"I only hope that in Hell, you can be good people," Xu Zimei said after killing the last tribesman, slowly making his way to the barrier.
The barrier, now drained of energy, no longer had any defensive power.
Xu Zimei tore through the barrier with a single stroke and walked into the jungle.
Whether human or monster, at this moment, the corpses piled up like mountains, leaving no survivors.
"I’ve avenged you, I really am a good person," Xu Zimei shook his head and sighed.
"Good people get good karma, your life force should help with my cultivation."
...
After having their limbs severed, people do not immediately die but slowly and agonizingly pass away from excessive blood loss and pain.
But Chi Yi was at the Saint Vein Realm, and as long as his Divine Soul remained unshattered, such injuries were slowly recoverable.
Without his hands and feet, Chi Yi could only passively lie on the ground, letting the rain wash over his face.
At that moment, a figure appeared before him, blocking the pouring rain.
"Don’t kill me, I can give you the War God’s Nine Transformations," Chi Yi begged in haste.
"Where are the War God’s Nine Transformations?" Xu Zimei asked indifferently.
He was indeed curious about this Demonic Skill, having not given Chi Yi the chance to unleash the other transformations just now, which would have been a fierce battle.
Just the four transformations he had witnessed were troublesome enough.
Had all eight Transformations been employed, Chi Li in this state wouldn’t dare claim to be invincible among his peers.
But at least within the Saint Vein Realm, it would’ve definitely been considered a higher combat prowess.
This was only about the eight transformations, and Xu Zimei could hardly believe what it would be like if, according to legend, all nine were used.
"I can give it to you," Chi Yi quickly said, "but you must let me go."
"You are not in a position to negotiate terms with me," said Xu Zimei calmly.
"If you refuse, then let this Demonic Skill be utterly lost with my death," Chi Yi retorted.
"Are you threatening me?" Xu Zimei scoffed and said.
"Allow me to take a guess.
Since you want to learn the last transformation of the War God’s Nine Transformations, you must also have the Legacy Stone on you."
Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Chi Yi’s complexion changed slightly, and he quickly said, "As long as you let me go, I will give you the Legacy Stone right away.
From now on, the entire Jiu Li Tribe will heed your command, how about that?"
"It seems I guessed correctly," Xu Zimei smiled and began searching Chi Yi’s body.
When Xu Zimei forcibly opened his Storage Ring, Chi Yi’s face grew even more embarrassed.
A pitch-black stone was extracted by Xu Zimei.
The stone’s surface was exceedingly smooth, with a dark glow radiating from the inside.
In the very center of the stone was an imprint the size of a thumb.
Just as Xu Zimei was about to press his thumb into the imprint, Chi Yi hurriedly shouted, "Don’t!"
With a "boom,"
Endless waves of energy surged between heaven and earth, the entire black stone enveloped in a swirling light, as a beam of darkness shot skyward.
Ripping through the firmament, breaking through the clouds.
In that moment, Xu Zimei felt his consciousness enter a mysterious space.
...
Divine Spirits were the strongest beings of this era.
They transcended everything, possessing endless lifespans and unimaginable strength.
In the early days of the Mythical Era, there were no mortals, no monsters.
They were the first natives of this world.
The changes in the world are endless.
Thousands of years after the appearance of Divine Spirits, heaven and earth began to nurture new life.
This included monsters, Monster Beasts, and those who evolved from Monster Beasts into humans.
During the time these beings were fermenting into existence, the Divine Spirits were also secretly plotting everything.
They aimed to rule the entire Continent, turning all mortals into their servants.
However, such actions ran counter to the principles of the Heavenly Dao.
If the plans of the Divine Spirits came to fruition, then this Epoch would not be able to develop healthily and lastingly.
Thus, with the help of Heavenly Dao,
a Giant lying dormant beneath the earth awoke.
Wielding a huge axe, he proclaimed himself the "War God."
That day, the War God emerged from War God Valley, axe in hand, and stepped into the stronghold of the gods.
No one knew the outcome of that battle.
But when the battle was over, the War God and the other Divine Spirits had all vanished without a trace.
Nobody knew where the Divine Spirits had gone, whether they were alive or dead.
Later generations would call that battle the "Twilight of the Gods."
Sincere then, the age of the Divine Spirits never returned, and the world’s inhabitants all embarked on a long and arduous journey seeking the Way of Inquiry.
And the War God’s Nine Transformations were precisely the Divine Skills left behind by the War God, obtained by the descendants of the Jiu Li Tribe within the War God Valley.
The so-called nine transformations are divided into:
Sky-breaking Change,
Mysterious Spirit Second Transformation,
True Spirit Third Transformation,
Extreme Spirit Four Transformations,
Desolate Spirit Fifth Transformation,
Heavenly Serpent Sixth Transformation,
Cang Dragon Seventh Transformation,
Azure Cloud Eighth Transformation,
and the ultimate War God’s Nine Transformations.
As streams of inherited memories flooded into Xu Zimei’s mind, he subconsciously began to circulate the trajectories of these Divine Skills.
All the blood energy in his body surged, like the roaring and boundless waves of a great river.
This blood energy inverted the Yin and Yang within Xu Zimei’s body and flowed upward against the current.
In just an instant, Xu Zimei had learned the Sky-breaking Change.
As he continued to cultivate further, the frequency of the vibrations in his body’s blood energy grew increasingly intense.
All the blood vessels in his body felt as though they were about to explode.
At its core, the War God’s Nine Transformations was a set of Skills that amplified one’s power.
It was not a single Vein Skill, but a form of enhancement to every part of the body.
With each transformation unlocked, one’s strength increased exponentially.
By the time Xu Zimei had learned up to the seventh transformation, his body could no longer withstand his surging blood energy.
His entire body was dry and withered, his complexion pale as if drained by a vampire.
Yet at the same time, the blood energy around his body had become several times stronger.
Seeing so many people dead in front of him, blood drenching the earth, nearly ten thousand people and countless monsters had perished here.
Xu Zimei waved his hand, and all this blood energy rose from the ground and surged into his body.
With a "boom",
something seemed to be surging within Xu Zimei’s body, and his face gradually regained its color.
And the realm of War God’s Nine Transformations began to improve, bit by bit.
The improvements continued until after the Azure Cloud Eighth Transformation, where the pace of enhancement finally began to slow.
Xu Zimei closed his eyes tightly, and at that moment, an image appeared in his mind.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
A man fought against heaven and earth, slaying gods and Demons Slay.
Alone, he battled against the gods, his valor soaring into the sky like a piercing cloud.
As if everything in this world was insignificant compared to the word ’fight.’
The heart’s abyss is as high as a mountain, with pride and subtlety like a blossom’s dust, all things in life are but so.
The blood energy enveloped Xu Zimei, persisting continuously for half a month.
As the dawn broke in the Firmament, and the cocoon of blood energy burst open,
Xu Zimei had no chance to sense his own changes before the Firmament suddenly fluctuated, and the River of Time swept him away.
