428: Nine-turn golden elixir, immortal body

Xiao Zhuo sat cross-legged in his temporary Immortal Cave, immortal light surging around him like a tide, his bones and muscles resonating with thunderous roars.

The terrifying medicinal power transformed from that nine-revolution golden elixir was like billions of wild Fire Dragons, violently crashing, burning, and tempering every limb, organ, and even every tiny particle of flesh and blood within him!

This Body Tempering process was incredibly painful, far beyond ordinary imagination.

Meridians were torn apart and then reshaped, flesh and blood were incinerated and then reborn, bones were crushed and then re-fused... Each destruction and Rebirth was accompanied by an indescribable, extreme pain, as if his body was repeatedly forged in a Heavenly furnace.

However, Xiao Zhuo's will was as firm as a rock; the Free and Natural Heavenly Art operated at its Peak, and his Primordial Spirit, seated high in his Sea of Consciousness, calmly guided this overwhelming medicinal power, transforming its wild energy into pure tempering force.

Time lost its meaning within the Immortal Cave.

After an unknown period, the scorching torrent within him, which had been like burning the sky and boiling the sea, finally gradually subsided and was tamed, ultimately integrating completely into Xiao Zhuo's immortal body.

He slowly opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flashing like lightning, piercing through the Void Realm and leaving two faint spatial ripples.

He gently clenched his fist, feeling the surging, terrifying power within him, as if it could shatter stars with a single punch.

"What a nine-revolution golden elixir!" Xiao Zhuo exclaimed in his heart.

Just one elixir had almost doubled the strength of his already formidable immortal body!

This effect could be called Heaven-Defying.

One must know that at the Quasi-Saint Realm, every slight increase in Physical Body strength was extremely difficult; even with a large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasure and top-tier Body Refining Cultivation Technique, improving the immortal body's strength was still extremely slow.

Now, a single Golden Core had such miraculous effects, living up to its name as a Saint's masterpiece and a supreme treasure of the Immortal Realm.

But Xiao Zhuo keenly noticed that this was not the end.

During the refining process, he clearly perceived that although the medicinal power had been absorbed, there seemed to be some kind of "potential" in the depths of his immortal body that had not been fully stimulated, much like a piece of fine iron that had only been forged once, far from reaching its limit as a hundred-times refined steel.

He calmed his mind, carefully reviewed every detail of the refining process, and deduced the profound Law contained within the Golden Core and the trajectory of its medicinal power's flow.

"Nine revolutions... nine revolutions..." The light of wisdom flowed in Xiao Zhuo's eyes, and his Primordial Spirit rapidly deduced in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, "So that's it! This elixir is named 'Nine Revolutions' not because its refining requires nine fiery cycles, but because its Body Tempering effect requires nine elixirs as a set, to be taken consecutively, undergoing nine extreme temperings! Each revolution is based on the enhanced Foundation of the previous revolution, pushing the immortal body again to a higher, almost Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class) and then establishing a new limit! Only when the nine revolutions are complete can a truly indestructible body be forged! Moreover, the stronger the immortal body before taking the Golden Core, the better the effect!"

He suddenly understood.

No wonder after Emperor Emperor took one, his Physical Body strength, although much stronger than ordinary Quasi-Saints, was still not as good as his own.

It wasn't that the Golden Core wasn't strong, but that his Foundation was shallow, and he only obtained one of the nine-revolution golden elixirs, failing to complete the full nine-revolution tempering!

"A set of nine..." Xiao Zhuo's gaze swept over the nearly hundred million Attribute Points on the panel, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, "No wonder this elixir is precious, yet Haotian was still willing to give it to me; he probably still harbored the thought of having me do things for him with the subsequent eight elixirs, but he doesn't know. For me, any number of nine-revolution golden elixirs is just a matter of Attribute Points!"

With a thought, he communicated with the panel.

"Exchange: nine-revolution golden elixir (same Origin and effect as the elixir already consumed)!"

"Quantity: Eight!"

"Exchange price: Five million Attribute Points per elixir, totaling forty million Attribute Points. Confirm?"

"Confirm!" Xiao Zhuo said without hesitation.

A flash of light, and eight nine-revolution golden elixirs, the size of soybeans, with flowing patterns and exuding the same majestic medicinal power and aura of creation, quietly floated before him.

The rich medicinal fragrance almost materialized into golden mist, rendering the entire Immortal Cave like an Immortal Realm.

The Attribute Points instantly shrunk by nearly half, but Xiao Zhuo's eyes held only determination and anticipation.

"Nine-revolution tempering, begins today!"

He opened his mouth and inhaled, and a new nine-revolution golden elixir transformed into a stream of light and entered his mouth.

Boom—!

A torrent of medicinal power, even more violent and scorching than the first time, erupted!

This time, the destructive power was even more astonishing, because the Foundation of his immortal body had already been elevated to a terrifying height by the first Golden Core; to break through and establish anew again, the required "destructive" force naturally had to double!

But the medicinal power of this second Golden Core actually overlapped with the residual Dao rhythm of the first Golden Core in his body, making the medicinal power even stronger and producing an effect no less than the first.

"Ugh..." Even with Xiao Zhuo's tenacious will, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

The surface of his immortal body instantly became covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and dark-golden blood seeped out, only to evaporate under the scorching medicinal power.

His bones groaned under the immense pressure, as if they would completely shatter the next moment.

But his eyes were as sharp as knives, the Free and Natural Heavenly Art operated at an unprecedented Peak, and his Primordial Spirit, like the core of the most precise furnace, forcibly controlled this destructive power, transforming it into a deeper level of tempering fire!

Second revolution! The immortal body was difficultly reshaped in destruction; after the cracks healed, the flesh, blood, and bones faintly revealed a deeper dark-golden metallic luster, and their strength leaped again!

Third revolution! The medicinal power was like the Milky Way pouring down, scouring every cell, removing deeper Impurities, and dense dark Dao patterns began to condense within each cell!

Fourth revolution! His internal organs were like being forged by divine fire, blooming with five-colored auspicious light, faintly resonating with the World Sea, and his vitality was as vast as the ocean!

Fifth revolution! The Meridians were widened to their limit, tough as divine metal chains, and immortal power surged like a great river, emitting a thunderous roar!

Sixth revolution! Under the extreme compression and tempering of the medicinal power, the density of the flesh and blood particles became horrifyingly high; each particle was like a miniature star, containing explosive power!

Seventh revolution! The originally dark-golden bones completely faded, turning jade-colored, covered with dense golden Dao patterns, like Innate Divine Bones, exuding an indestructible Dao rhythm! Mysterious natural protective Divine Runes began to appear on his body's surface!

Eighth revolution! The medicinal power penetrated directly to the Origin of the bone marrow, triggering the deepest level of life's transformation! The glazed blood flowed, emitting the grand sound of the Great Dao! The entire immortal body seemed to transform into an embryonic Chaos Heavenly God about to open the heavens, exuding a terrifying pressure that even twisted the Void Realm!

Dilamon, outside the Immortal Cave, had already turned pale with shock, retreating again and again, almost unable to bear the overflowing aura!

Finally, the ninth revolution!

The last Golden Core entered his belly.

This time, there was no earth-shattering explosion.

All the medicinal power seemed to reach a certain critical point, becoming incredibly restrained, yet as deep as an abyss.

They silently permeated every minute corner of the immortal body, performing the ultimate harmonization!

Xiao Zhuo's body seemed to transform into a piece of peerless divine metal, repeatedly hammered billions of times by a divine craftsman, finally reaching perfect flawlessness!

All cracks, all Impurities, all "imperfections" were completely wiped away in this revolution!

Om—!

An indescribable, utterly pure Physical Body power, like an ancient Divine Beast that had slept for billions of years awakening, erupted from within him with a roar!

Boom crack!

The temporary Immortal Cave, along with the entire mountain wall, instantly turned into dust!

If Xiao Zhuo hadn't timely isolated most of the impact with Time-Space power, the entire valley and even the surrounding ten thousand li mountain range would have been annihilated!

Even so, the space within a hundred zhang of him shattered inch by inch like fragile glass, revealing deep, dark Void Realm turbulence!

The violent spatial storm swept out, yet it couldn't even shake a single strand of the glazed light that naturally appeared on his body's surface!

The glazed light retracted, and the anomaly subsided.

Xiao Zhuo stood quietly above the Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class) Void Realm, without any energy fluctuations around him, his aura returning to its original simplicity.

He lowered his head, looking at his hands, clear as jade and seemingly containing endless power, and gently clenched them.

He didn't use any immortal power, only pure Physical Body strength!

Bang!

The air in his palm was instantly compressed to its limit, emitting a dull explosion that made Dilamon's Divine Soul tremble!

A miniature spatial black hole, purely formed by twisted power, flashed in his palm and then disappeared!

"Nine revolutions complete, immortal body indestructible!" Xiao Zhuo's eyes shone with divine light, feeling the terrifying power within him, vast and surging like a galaxy, capable of easily tearing apart stars and blasting apart Initial Stage Quasi-Saint or even Middle Stage powerhouses.

At this moment, relying solely on this immortal body, which had undergone the extreme tempering of the nine-revolution golden elixir and whose strength had reached the Peak Quasi-Saint Realm, he was enough to walk unhindered beneath the Saints!

Without using any immortal arts or Divine Ability, relying only on Physical Body strength, he could crush most Quasi-Saints!

His Physical Body once again became another powerful trump card besides his Time-Space Dao Fruit!
