"True essence can't be used?"
Lin Ming's brows lifted. He knew that the artifact spirit had sealed his Dantian by blocking the connection between his true essence and spirit soul.
This confused him. He really had no idea what level of spirit cultivation this artifact had reached; it was as if it only needed to wave its hand to achieve this. Moreover, he was skilled in all sorts of array formations. Not to mention the others, but only the 9999 saint artifacts comprising the main body of the Saint Artifact Pavilion left Lin Ming floored. Although he was able to see faint traces of the mysteries of the great array formation, wanting to break through it was impossible.
“I cannot use true essence but I can still use my physical strength. Could this round check out my body transformation technique? "
Lin Ming had some doubts about this. The Ancient Phoenix Clan did not cultivate body transformation techniques. It was more accurate to say that in the countless sects and family clans of the heavenly Realm, there were too few who cared about training in body transformation. The legacy is almost lost because of this. Compared to the essence gathering system, there were too many flaws and problems. One needed to consume a large amount of resources, and the longer it became harder and harder to train.
Undoubtedly, dual cultivation in body and essence was more powerful than just following the essence gathering system. But the premise was that one's body transformation technique could follow the essence gathering system. Otherwise, if one system far surpassed the other, it would weaken until it was ultimately useless.
As for cultivating only the essence gathering system, if one could train to the peak then their strength would also become unfathomable. For example, Empyrean Primordius only relied on the essence gathering system to walk throughout the entire heavenly Realm unhindered. If one dual body was nurtured and essence, it would be a huge matter trying to reach the level of an Empyrean. Throughout the entire heavenly World and the boundless life living here, how many people could become an Empyrean?
In this situation, Lin Ming did not think that the Saint Artifact Pavilion artifact spirit would actually test his body transformation technique. But at this moment, in front of Lin Ming, a large crowd of red-scale heavenly cows appeared.These heavenly cows were all 20 feet tall and several times larger than the average cow. If the average cow was this size, they might weigh up to 10,000 jins. But these red heavenly cows had thick scales covering their entire bodies; they were at least 10 times heavier than normal cows.
The moment this group of red celestial cows appeared, they began to go crazy over Lin Ming.
Lin Ming grasped the Great Desolate Blood Halberd and calmly stood still, watching the red-scaled heavenly cows wildly rush over it. The movements of the true essence within his body were blocked now so he could only rely on his physical strength. This was the first for Lin Ming!
Rah!
The red-scale heavenly cows let out a terrifying roar. These sounds did not seem to have come from cows but from a giant tiger. When the several hundred heavenly cows smashed their way towards him, their charging momentum broke through the sky and caused the ground to tremble. Although these heavenly cows were only simulacrum produced by array formations, there was nothing that distinguished them from reality.
Lin Ming calmly watched the red-scale heavenly cow rush towards him. Up until now, he had experienced countless battlefields and his combat experience was rich and diverse. When the heavenly ox reached him, he did not flinch. Instead, he took a step forward, opening the four Inner Hidden Gates at the same time, then smashing with the 800,000 jin Great Desolate Blood Halberd. The blood spear fell down like a collapsed mountain!
Bang out!
The 20 foot tall heavenly cow that weighed several tens of thousands of jins, and rushed forward at a terrifying speed, was actually pounded into sticky flesh by Lin Ming's spear!
After obtaining the treasures from the Temple of Marvels, Lin Ming did not lack the ingredients for medicine. As he practiced the essence gathering system, he also did not forget to train in body transformation. There was a huge difference between the fourth and fifth of the Eight Inner Hidden Gates. Compared to opening the first four gates, the difficulty of opening the fifth gate rose to another level. After Lin Ming defeated Yang Yun, he had stored his strength in preparation to open the fifth of the Eight Inner Hidden Gates. Although he had not managed to do so far, his strength had already surpassed 2 million jins and was close to 3 million jins.
If this great power were used to use the 800,000 jin Great Desolate Blood Halberd and bring it crumbling, the destructive potential could be imagined!
Lin Ming's eyes lit up with a bloodthirsty light. Using only his physical strength to defeat the 100,000 jin heavenly cow to death unleashed his beast side and ignited his fighting spirit.
Using one's physical strength to fight was completely different from fighting with the support of true essence.
"The second one!"
Lin Ming shouted and aimed his spear towards the belly of the second heavenly cow. His feet stepped back and the hard ground under his feet broke. He lowered his waist and pushed both his hands up, instantly erupting with 3 million jins of strength.
A 100,000 celestial jin cow was sent flying away to become Lin Ming.
"Third one!"
Lin Ming was completely immersed in this hot-blooded battle. The Great Desolate Blood Halberd in his hand flew through the air. That 800,000 jin spear combined with Lin Ming's 3 million jins of strength was enough to separate the heavenly ox on contact!
The Great Desolate Blood Halberd lacked the flexibility to begin with. As Lin Ming was constantly killing this heavenly cow, the vibrating power in the spear shaft was also terrifying. All of this was completely endured by Lin Ming.
If a normal martial artist had to withstand the force of this terrifying shock, their hands would have already opened. But Lin Ming could rely on the regenerative power of the Gate of Healing to forcefully suppress it. Although his blood vitality was sent tumbling down, this great power also caused his blood to boil with a brutal furor.
82.
83.
Lin Ming killed his way through the heavenly ox. Blood rained down from the air, all over his body a fiery red blood. He was someone who looked as if they had emerged from a pool of blood. The ground under his feet was wet with mixed blood and flesh, and every step he took left a deep indentation.
191!
192!
192!
As Lin Ming killed his way to the end, this slaughter almost became instinctive. He doesn't need to think at all. As long as the red-scale heavenly cow rushed up to him, he could instantly respond and kill him!
When the artifact spirit witnessed all this happening, it sighed in praise. Never imagined that Lin Ming's achievements in body transformation would be so great. It seemed that Lin Ming's body transforming him was in no way left behind by the essence gathering system. The creation of his spirit body through Life Destruction was destroyed by the body transformation technique, which allowed the two methods to complement each other.
“This child has opened the Fourth Pain Gate The Fourth Inner Hidden Gate. Pain Gate focuses on offensive force. After the Gate of Pain was opened, the mortal strength of martial artists would enter a period of explosive growth, until they reached 10 times their original strength. This child should have no problems in completing the Eight Inner Hidden Gates, but if he wanted to enter the Nine Stars of the Dao Palace, it was too difficult. ”
“Second test branch can be considered perfect pass. ”
The artifact spirit muttered to itself. At this point it had already confirmed Lin Ming's potential and talent; he actually had the qualifications to obtain the Phoenix Blood Spear.
“Although these two rounds of tests have confirmed that you have the qualifications to obtain a top grade saint artifact, I will still test you one last time. I'll test your martial arts will and perception; this can be considered to give you good luck. If you can pass this final round of tests to my satisfaction, then I will not only give you the Phoenix Blood Spear but I will also impart a piece of energy and Laws that the Phoenix Cry Palace Master previously left here in the Phoenix Blood Spear, he said, allowing its value to approach infinity to become a transcendent saint artifact. ”
Lin Ming had no idea that the artifact spirit made this plan. He continued to stand on the endless plains, his hands grasping the Great Desolate Blood Halberd, preparing to continue this life or death massacre.
At this moment, the countless red-scaled heavenly cows raging on the boundless plains seemed to receive some sort of summoning call. They started retreating like tides. The several hundred red-scale celestial cow corpses around Li Ming also vanished, and there was not a hint of flesh or blood left on the ground.
Lin Ming took a deep breath. He knew he had passed the second round.
After this, will there be a third?
As he was thinking, the ground in front of him suddenly shook. A crack spread throughout the earth, and with a loud rumbling sound, a huge stone tablet slowly rose into the world!
"Mm, this …?" Disciple Lin Ming focused. The stone tablet in front of him was 10 feet wide, 20 feet high, and five feet thick.
The surface of the stone tablet was covered with dense rows of fire runes. These fire runes were all different from each other, and from the bottom up, there was a gradual change in them. At the very bottom, small fire runes, appeared like beating fire. But as they rose, the fire runes turned into all sorts of strange lines that crawled on top of the stone tablet like a network of vines. Furthermore, those fire runes became abstract designs. Some designs looked like eyes, some looked like monsters, and some looked like ancient races.
"Stone chaos?"
Lin Ming was startled but immediately shook his head. When he was in Timeworn Phoenix City, he was lucky to see a small piece of chaos stone. A chaos stone formed at the beginning of the universe, and became a naturally formed totem of chaos, with traces of the universe's energy source remaining in the chaos stone. A chaos stone was something directed at the source of the Great Dao. If one could fully understand the chaos stone, they would be enlightened about the principles of revolution for the energy source of the universe. One could even become a person with the deepest Law comprehension in the entire heavenly Realm, becoming an existence at the level of an Empyrean!
The trail on the chaos stone was not so good, but rather rough. It was a trace formed from natural energy, with deep and shallow grooves. They were nothing like these stone tablets, with countless and varied fine traces.
Without a doubt, this stone tablet was likely carved by some of the Supreme Elders of the Ancient Phoenix Clan. It was highly likely that this Supreme Elder was the Patriarch of the Ancient Phoenix Clan.
Lin Ming had an approximate understanding of how high the status the Patriarch had within the Ancient Phoenix Clan. Fairy Feng's strength reached an unimaginable level, but she was only the Vice Chairman of the Phoenix Cry Palace Palace. Above the Vice Palace Master was the Palace Master, and the Palace Master was the Elder of the Ancient Phoenix Clan. With 72 castles of the Ancient Phoenix Clan, it meant that there were at least 72 Elders. Above this Elder is the Patriarch!
Ancestral level characters had left behind this stone tablet, and it was also at least 20 times larger than the carved stone in Timeworn Phoenix City. The value of this stone tablet could be imagined!
“Treatment in the heavenly Realm is completely different. If a Patriarch level character wanted to write down their understanding of Laws onto a stone tablet, they would definitely spend a lot of effort and time. In Timeworn Phoenix City, there were only three small pieces, each one measuring one square foot. It could not compare to this stone tablet in the Saint Artifact Pavilion. It seems like this round of tests is checking my perception. ”
As the boundaries of martial artists grew, perceptions became more and more important. This was because perception was related to the understanding of a martial artist to the Heavenly Dao. As Lin Ming was thinking this, his body suddenly trembled. A great will emerged from the stone tablet, enveloping it!
As this martial art would cover it, Lin Ming felt a great suppression in his spiritual sea. As for the small spear-shaped battle spirit in his spiritual sea, it began to let out cries of excitement from the pressure.
"This is the will left on the stone tablet by the Ancient Phoenix Clan Patriarch?" Lin Ming realized what this vast will, filled with great power, was.
