Chapter 387: Chapter 384 Chaotic Thunder Primordial Body
The Eternal Furnace has thus far only been powered by the energy derived from "deuterium, tritium," and the like.
Though this kind of energy is ubiquitous, and one can even separate some by drawing a breath of cold air, but...
Being picky and finicky about one’s food is not a good habit.
Moreover, compared to the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method, which can give rise to the Great Sun True Demon Body, the Chaos True Demon Body, once cultivated to perfection, can generate abilities akin to divine skills.
Divine Skills!
Devas and Demon Kings have two major advantages over martial artists who cultivate to the ultimate levels of the Demon God path.
One is the Devas’ flight and the demonic nature of the Demon Kings.
The other is Divine Skills.
The Chaos True Demon Body, through extreme development, understanding, and adaptation of certain powers within the body, can develop methods similar to divine skills.
Take Sect Hierarch Ying Wuqing’s Leech Emperor Bloodline, for instance, possessing both terrifying recovery abilities and astonishing flexibility and elasticity.
With just a three-meter-tall stature, he can freely extend his height or certain parts of his body to double or triple, even up to four or five times its size.
This peculiar ability, combined with special combat techniques, makes Ying Wuqing nearly invincible in close combat.
Even Devas, if they were to engage in close combat with him, would only meet a dead end.
"The key to the Chaos True Demon Body, for me, lies in such divine skill-like talents."
An epiphany flashed through Gu Jinlai’s mind.
The Chaos True Demon Body can digest not only the blood and flesh of fierce beasts and essence blood of devils, but also heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Leveraging related traits, it can derive existences similar to divine skills.
However, using heavenly materials and earthly treasures as primary materials for cultivation requires an exorbitantly high investment.
Just as a cultivator of the Chaos True Demon Body who wishes their flesh to be as hard as fine iron must consume large amounts of Gold Iron Wood and Refined Jade and other materials, then utilize the "all-embracing and all-compatible" trait of the Chaos True Demon Body to digest these materials and make their skin extremely hard, impervious to sword and spear.
Even if the efficiency of Gold Iron Wood and Refined Jade is not good and they may cause various "indigestion" issues leading to premature death, the cost involved is still astronomical.
In this situation, many related Demon God Warriors would choose the most common materials that offer the best value for money and carry the least risk.
Moreover, since humans are carbon-based life forms whose life forms differ greatly from silicon-based or plasma-based organism, choosing to integrate and digest the elements of fierce beasts and devils has a higher efficiency and a lower chance of catastrophic failure.
Consequently, the route incorporating compatibility with heavenly materials and earthly treasures is naturally less traveled.
"The Holy Body of a Saint that incorporates Immortal Essence Gold into oneself is not dissimilar to the Chaos True Demon Body melding heavenly materials and earthly treasures. However, compared to the forced ’compatibility’ of the Chaos True Demon Body’s cultivation skill, the Condensation Technique of the Holy Body is much more ingenious, using the power of Heaven and Earth as the furnace, the Undying Will as the core, refining Immortal Essence Gold to form a Holy Body!"
Upon this realization, Gu Jinlai suddenly saw the light.
The mysteries of the Chaos True Demon Body, and even further, its miraculous aspects, unfolded before him, allowing him to glimpse the path that lay beyond that of the War God for Demon God Warriors.
A path comparable to that of the Saints.
"Using the ’divine skills’ derived from the Chaos True Demon Body to replace the Undying Will, with the Eternal Furnace to replace the Heaven and Earth Furnace, and then to refine Immortal Essence Gold or other heavenly materials and earthly treasures within oneself, to forge a War God Body on par with that of a Saint!"
Gu Jinlai’s gaze shifted from the Chaos True Demon Body to the Eternal Furnace.
The Eternal Furnace is actually an Advanced Technique derived from the combination of the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method and the Grand Sun Nine Refinement Visualization Method.
Although he had perfected this technique, its realm seemed to exceed expectations.
At the very least, it could easily release attacks at the level of an Earthly True Immortal.
As long as the power was scaled up, it would not be overly ambitious to anticipate attacks reaching the prowess of a resident True Immortal in the future.
It was just beyond his control for now.
At the moment, the emergence of the Chaos True Demon Body, which requires cultivation through the Eternal Furnace, undeniably needs to remedy the shortcomings of the Eternal Furnace, transforming it from uncontrollable to controllable.
And the core technology for controllable nuclear fusion is...
Magnetic field constraint!
"Electromagnetic force!"
An epiphany struck Gu Jinlai.
The direction of evolution for his Chaos True Demon Body...
Or rather, the divine skill it would derive...
Electromagnetic force!
Immediately afterward, the name of a heavenly material and earthly treasure popped into his mind.
"Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold!"
This material suited his needs perfectly.
A Holy Body refined with Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold, combined with the appropriate techniques, can give rise to a series of immensely powerful divine skills, such as Primordial Magnetic Divine Light, Silent Annihilation Divine Thunder, and so on.
Furthermore, when such a Holy Body attempts to break through to the Earthly True Immortal while incurring the corresponding heavenly tribulations, it possesses extraordinary resistance, with a success rate one or two tenths higher than other Saints.
If the Holy Body refined from Immortal Essence Gold represents the best value for money,
then the Thunder Element Body refined with Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold is the preferred choice for the wealthy leaders of top-notch sects.
Each Saint, with a Holy Body refined from Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold, is basically nurtured by a sect as the Earthly True Immortal, the sect’s future anchor.
As Gu Jinlai confirmed the future cultivation direction of his Chaos True Demon Body, strands of light began to rise within both the Chaos True Demon Body and the Eternal Furnace, gradually forming a new orb of light.
The color of the orb...
was faintly golden, but not completely transformed into gold.
It was somewhere between deep purple and pale gold.
"If I’m not mistaken, blue techniques belong to the Third Rank, which is from Refining God to the Primordial Spirit Realm. Purple techniques are of the Fourth Rank, from Devas to the Earthly True Immortal Realm, and golden techniques point directly to the Fifth Rank, allowing one to forge their own path and reach the level of a resident True Immortal..."
Gu Jinlai pondered.
The potential of electromagnetic force is unquestionable.
One of the four fundamental forces of the universe.
It is due to the potential of this force that the originally Saint-level purple techniques reached a stage between purple and gold.
Whether it can fully step into the golden domain depends on whether Gu Jinlai can further perfect this technique in the future.
"Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method, Grand Sun Nine Refinements Visualization Method, Chaos True Demon Body, as well as this newly emerged cultivation technique, all belong to the foundation of cultivating the Eternal Furnace... Among them, this new technique is a complement to the Eternal Furnace..."
Gu Jinlai looked at the purple-gold light sphere that was displayed as "Unnamed".
"Chaos Eternal Body? This name seems a bit extravagant... Let’s keep it low-key and call it the Chaotic Thunder Primordial Body."
As Gu Jinlai’s thoughts settled, the purple-gold light sphere quickly became the "Chaotic Thunder Primordial Body" at the entry-level stage.
Glancing at the remaining abundant Qingguang, he swiftly poured it into the sphere, and in an instant, the profound mysteries of this technique rapidly emerged in his mind.
A rumbling sound seemed to emanate from his body, the Eternal Furnace operating swiftly, channeling streams of energy into his body, further purifying the impurities within.
However, unlike before, these impurities were not expelled but were instead transformed into energy, strengthening his body.
This strengthening only lasted for three days, then Gu Jinlai’s figure shook.
The next moment, he deployed the Great Sun True Demon Body, and his height, previously six meters, climbed incrementally, transforming him into a ten-meter-tall giant.
Faint golden light emanated from his body, illuminating this cultivation room that, after expansion, extended over a hundred meters in length and rose dozens of meters in height, making him appear like a golden deity.
"Demon King Level Physique..."
Gu Jinlai murmured to himself.
His physique had finally reached a strength comparable to that of a Demon King.
That is to say, within the Demon God Warrior System, it was equivalent to a War God.
It was also at this level of physique that the progress of the Chaotic Thunder Primordial Body suddenly came to a halt.
"Small Achievement."
Gu Jinlai regarded this body refinement technique.
He was stuck in the phase between Small Achievement and Mahayana.
To step into the Mahayana stage, clearly, an ample amount of Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold would be required.
Once he refined a sufficient amount of Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold, he would naturally breakthrough and enter the Mahayana Domain.
And when the amount of Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold refined within his body was enough to transform his entire ten-meter tall stature into the Chaotic Thunder Primordial Body, this technique would achieve complete Perfection.
By then, with the help of the Chaotic Thunder Primordial Body, his own strength would not be inferior to a Saint who has forged a Holy Body.
"Compared to a Saint, I have not cultivated an Undying Will, nor can I harness the power of Heaven and Earth, but I have the Eternal Furnace within me, and with my use of the Eternal Furnace’s power, the fighting force I can unleash is simply not something an ordinary Saint can withstand."
Gu Jinlai gauged it for a moment and a slight smile appeared on his face.
The Demon God System...
Had finally caught up with the Cultivator System.
It was even stronger than the Cultivator System.
Only...
Gu Jinlai glanced at the prerequisites for achieving this level of power...
Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Technique Perfection.
Grand Sun Nine Refinements Visualization Method Perfection.
Chaotic Thunder Primordial Body Perfection.
There was no rush for the Eternal Furnace; it probably would suffice at the Saint Stage when it reached Mahayana.
However, even at the Mahayana Level, the amount of time required to fully cultivate all four techniques to Perfection was still measured in millennia.
Don’t forget, even after he passed down the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Technique and it underwent simplification, and with his guidance as a Master who achieved Perfection in that technique, only Gu Qingmei and Leng Tianfeng managed to cultivate this Body Refining Technique to Mahayana.
Perfect Realm?
It’s still far off in the distance.
If the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Technique is already like this, what more for the Chaotic Thunder Primordial Body and the Grand Sun Nine Refinements Visualization Method?
This is a path that no one other than he himself can traverse at this time.
Unless it’s a Supreme Talent like Master Wushi, Venerable Xuan Tian, individuals who only appear once in hundreds of years.
And even for them, the time required to walk this path is probably measured in centuries.
"Refining the Chaotic Thunder Primordial Body to the utmost Small Achievement level didn’t consume much Qingguang; now there are still one hundred and eighty-four streams left."
Gu Jinlai’s gaze swept over the Book of Nature, the Balance Holy Scripture, and the Void Projection Technique.
He wanted to try raising the Void Projection Technique to a Perfect Level to see if it could produce an Avatar Skill similar to One Breath Turns Three Pure Ones, but clearly, one hundred and eighty-four streams of Qingguang would not be enough.
Therefore, only the Book of Nature and the Balance Holy Scripture remained.
"The path of the creator clearly has its flaws, and I’m not in a rush to take that pivotal step right now..."
After some consideration, he turned his attention to two Soul Secret Techniques: the Wall of Nihility and Burning Heart.
Soul Secret Techniques, in theory, are auxiliary skills derived from distinct Visualization Methods, but they can be cultivated separately as well.
The only downsides are a decrease in power, and they require a Heavenly Master to cultivate them. Unlike derived skills, one doesn’t inherently master them.
However, the cultivation wouldn’t take too much time.
Just like now...
As the count of Qingguang fell from one hundred and eighty-four to one hundred and forty-nine, the various intricacies of the two Soul Secret Techniques became immediately clear.
"I’ve mastered them."
Gu Jinlai asserted.
Wall of Nihility: Perfection.
Burning Heart: Perfection.
He thoroughly reflected on them, as if he had devoted hundreds of years of effort and energy to these two Secret Techniques.
Although he hadn’t tested them in combat yet, in theory alone, even Master Wushi would probably not outdo him in these two Soul Secret Techniques.
"There are still one hundred and forty-nine streams of Qingguang remaining."
Gu Jinlai felt somewhat emotional: "I suddenly realized that if Qingguang isn’t spent on golden skills, it really lasts a while."
