275: Immaculate golden body, charge!

demon god statues are used in many places, such as within the Demon Cult.

Previously, when the Star Academy was invaded by the Demon Cult, the Tianxing Residents and the Demon Cult’s fanatics who controlled them were actually controlled by demon god statues.

In such circumstances, once someone is controlled by a demon god statue, unless their willpower is Heaven-Defying and they can break free with immense perseverance, they can only be manipulated by others.

This was also a method the Demon God once used to control the powerhouses under his command.

Why do the Beast Demon Royal Clan, the Spirit Demon Royal Clan, and even the Sky Demon Royal Clan all have great clans under their command?

It is because when the Three Great Royal Clans gave birth to Demon God powerhouses, these Demon God powerhouses used the power of the demon god statues to control the Old Ancestors of these great clans, making them fight for him.

However, with the Demon God’s demise, the power of the demon god statues gradually diminished. Although the powerhouses of those great clans were still controlled by the demon god statues, the person using the demon god statue had the same Realm as them, which led to... these Old Ancestors of the great clans breaking free from the control of the demon god statues. This is why Lu Sheng saw that clans like the Lion Demon Clan had actually begun to be dissatisfied with the Royal Clan’s rule.

And in the eighth Heaven and Earth Power of this Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda, there was actually a demon god statue. Lu Sheng estimated that this must have been something the Demon God left for his own clan, but who knew that when his Prodigy was absorbing the Heaven and Earth Power from the pool water, he momentarily lost himself and was controlled by the demon god statue, thus falling and losing his independent will.

One can only say... life is full of uncertainties.

Lu Sheng felt a bit like laughing. The Demon God clearly intended to leave some means for his own clan, but unexpectedly, the means he left behind instead stifled the Prodigy of his own clan.

If the Demon God powerhouse who created the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda were still alive and saw this scene, what kind of thoughts would he have?

Lu Sheng shook his head with a smile, then looked at Zhao Changsheng and said indifferently, “Don’t say I don’t give you benefits. The energy in this pool water is very useful to you. Whether you want to absorb it or not is up to you!”

After speaking, Lu Sheng no longer paid attention to Zhao Changsheng, but instead sat cross-legged in the pool water, and the Profound Spirit Breathing Technique within his body circulated rapidly.

In an instant, a small vortex slowly emerged at the location of Lu Sheng’s Dantian.

Along with the appearance of this vortex, an extremely powerful suction force erupted, directly absorbing the Heaven and Earth Power from the pool water.

Zhao Changsheng, who was beside him, watched Lu Sheng so frankly tell him about the benefits of the pool water, and his heart instead became puzzled.

Logically speaking, although he and Lu Sheng were currently in a cooperative state, this cooperation was not very solid.

In fact, putting cooperation aside, there was still hatred between him and Lu Sheng.

The last time at Star Academy... although the two of them had cooperated very tacitly before, when there were benefits, Zhao Changsheng honestly admitted that he would definitely not think of Lu Sheng.

But Lu Sheng, of all people, told him about the benefits of the pool water.

This made Zhao Changsheng a little suspicious.

Zhao Changsheng looked at Lu Sheng, who was sitting cross-legged in the pool water, his eyes flickering slightly, but he did not know what he was thinking.

A moment later, a look of determination flashed across Zhao Changsheng’s eyes.

“Fine, I don’t believe you would trick me!”

Zhao Changsheng took a deep breath, and like Lu Sheng, he directly entered the pool water, then sat down cross-legged, his Cultivation Technique confidently circulating within his body.

However, when a wisp of Heaven and Earth Power surged into his body, Zhao Changsheng’s face instantly turned red, and his pupils were instantly covered with streaks of blood.

This energy... was still too overbearing for Zhao Changsheng.

It is important to know that Heaven and Earth Power is an even more overbearing energy for those who Cultivate heaven and earth devil qi or Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. If only a little is absorbed, it's fine, but if too much is absorbed, it is no different from a Demonic Pill.

This is why Zhao Changsheng experienced such a situation after only absorbing a wisp of Heaven and Earth Power.

“Hiss!!”

Zhao Changsheng gasped, a mere wisp of Heaven and Earth Power surging in made him feel a stinging sensation throughout his meridians.

It seemed as if they were about to shatter in the next moment.

However, after the shattering, Zhao Changsheng also discovered a hint of something, because even though it was only a wisp of Heaven and Earth Power, it seemed to have subtly improved the quality of the heaven and earth devil qi within his body.

Although the degree of improvement was not very high, it was still visible to the naked eye.

Zhao Changsheng’s eyes lit up slightly: “Lu Sheng didn’t lie to me?”

He glanced at Lu Sheng beside him, only to find that Lu Sheng was absorbing the Heaven and Earth Power extremely calmly, and each absorption was extremely rich.

Even Zhao Changsheng couldn’t help but grimace as he watched this scene.

“This guy... I only absorbed a wisp and already feel uncomfortable, yet this guy dares to absorb it so brazenly, he’s simply not afraid of death!”

“That’s right, this guy recognizes this energy. He must have absorbed it before, so his resistance should be stronger than mine. Once I adapt to this power, I should be able to do it too!”

Zhao Changsheng muttered to himself.

In his opinion, Lu Sheng had merely absorbed and adapted to this energy before, but he never considered... that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within Lu Sheng’s body had long since transformed into Heaven and Earth Power!

Immediately, Zhao Changsheng also calmed down and began to slowly absorb the Heaven and Earth Power. His efficiency, compared to Lu Sheng’s, was simply miles apart!

...Time slowly passed, about ten days went by.

The energy in the pool water had gradually dried up, and even the mist rising from the pool water had become much fainter.

It seemed as if a single gust of wind could completely disperse the mist.

Lu Sheng and Zhao Changsheng sat cross-legged in the pool water. Zhao Changsheng was the first to open his eyes, which were filled with blood-red streaks.

Even his face was extremely ferocious, as if he had endured immense pain.

Under his skin, his veins were even more clearly visible.

He took a deep breath, his body trembled slightly, and then, the ninth golden pattern appeared on his skin.

“Hoo! I didn’t expect this power to be so miraculous. Not only did it improve the quality of my heaven and earth devil qi, but it also allowed me to condense the ninth Golden Body pattern. Next, I can slowly begin to comprehend Nirvana and step into the Nirvana Realm. This Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda is indeed a good place!”

Zhao Changsheng smiled. Although he had endured too much pain these ten days, compared to the gains, the pain seemed insignificant.

Immediately after, Zhao Changsheng looked at Lu Sheng beside him, his pupils suddenly constricting.

He saw ten golden patterns shimmering with a faint golden glow on Lu Sheng’s skin, exuding a sacred feeling.

“This is... Immaculate Golden Body!!”

Zhao Changsheng’s pupils continuously contracted.

The so-called Immaculate Golden Body is achieved by condensing the tenth Golden Body pattern.

In the Golden Body Realm, each Golden Body pattern condensed is a purification of the Impurities within the body. Most Martial Artists in the Golden Body Realm can at most condense nine Golden Body patterns.

At this stage, without some Opportunity or a strong Foundation, it is basically impossible to condense the tenth Golden Body pattern.

Looking at the entire Otherworldly Demon World and Blue Star, those who can condense ten Golden Body patterns definitely do not exceed five!

This shows how difficult the Immaculate Golden Body is.

The reason it is called the Immaculate Golden Body is because if the tenth Golden Body pattern is condensed, then the Impurities within the body will be completely expelled.

The state within the body will return to that of a newborn infant.

In that state, the body is completely in an immaculate state, and in the future, whether it is Cultivating or comprehending Martial Arts, the efficiency will be terrifying.

Zhao Changsheng knew that Lu Sheng's talent was extremely Heaven-Defying, and even Wang Mu might not be able to compare to Lu Sheng, but Zhao Changsheng had never thought that Lu Sheng would be able to condense an Immaculate Golden Body.

This was truly terrifying!

For a moment, Zhao Changsheng's gaze towards Lu Sheng was filled with a hint of complexity.

He had always been a person who envied Geniuses, and even felt disgusted when facing them, but Lu Sheng's talent... had surpassed Zhao Changsheng's imagination, making him unable to feel envious.

“That fellow Wang Mu was right. With you around, this Otherworldly Demon World won’t be able to stir up any trouble. What we’re doing now can be considered cutting our losses in time!”

Zhao Changsheng sighed softly, his eyes still filled with complicated emotions.

Just as Zhao Changsheng was muttering to himself, Lu Sheng, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

Immediately after, a terrifying aura directly surged out from within Lu Sheng's Physical Body.

Vaguely, it was as if one could hear an ancient furnace erupting with endless roars at this moment.

Terrifying energy surged out, unleashing a fearsome aura.

“The Immaculate Golden Body... it’s finally achieved!”

Lu Sheng murmured softly, a faint golden radiance shimmering in the depths of his eyes.

After completely transforming himself into an immaculate state, Lu Sheng only felt his entire Physical Body become incredibly light.

It was as if all ailments and hidden injuries were thoroughly expelled at this moment.

Furthermore, if he wished, he could soar between Heaven and Earth and roam freely through mountains and rivers.

Carefree!

“Not only the Immaculate Golden Body, but even my Body Refining Cultivation has also advanced to nine Texture, reaching the Peak of the tenth level of Body Refining!”

“Next... I can begin to Breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm!”

A glint of light flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes.

Nirvana!

Upon reaching the Nirvana Realm, the Physical Body could be said to have reached an extremely terrifying degree; even regenerating a severed limb could be done with ease.

Of course, if the brain was damaged, one would still be killed.

Nirvana was merely an exaggeration; at most, it allowed for regeneration of severed limbs, possessing extremely powerful vitality.

Even Lifespan would increase to five hundred years!

This was absolutely crucial for most Martial Artists.

Martial Artists, after all, pursued eternal life.

Of course, for the current Great Xia Blue Star, the most important thing was to master more powerful strength to resist the invasion of Otherworldly Demons.

Within the Great Xia Blue Star, no expert of the Nirvana Realm had truly died of old age.

Most of them perished on the battlefield.

Perhaps sensing Zhao Changsheng’s gaze, Lu Sheng looked over and said softly, “Why are you looking at me? Do I have flowers on my face?”

Zhao Changsheng’s mouth twitched slightly.

He found it incredibly difficult to imagine how Lu Sheng managed to be so calm and collected.

That was the Immaculate Golden Body!

It could basically be said to be a Foundation for stepping into the Peak, or even the Demon God Realm!

Currently, Lu Sheng was probably the only one on Blue Star capable of achieving this step.

Yet this guy was still so composed?

Zhao Changsheng took a deep breath, suppressing the pent-up frustration in his heart, and slowly said, “Do you know how many people would envy you once word of your Immaculate Golden Body gets out?”

“I know!”

Lu Sheng shrugged indifferently.

“But even more people would want to kill me, wouldn’t they?”

Zhao Changsheng fell silent; Lu Sheng had indeed made that point very clear.

After all, in the Otherworldly Demon World, even the Prodigies of the Royal Clans who condensed the Immaculate Golden Body were unwilling to let the news spread, as the other two Royal Clans would absolutely not allow such a Prodigy to appear on the opposing side.

Even... injured Demon Gods would not want to see it.

Zhao Changsheng snapped back to reality, glanced at the dried-up pool, and softly said, “So... what do we do next?”

“Are you interested in taking a look at the ninth Heaven and Earth?”

As he spoke, Zhao Changsheng looked in the direction behind the pool.

Now, as the white mist gradually dimmed, a white stone tablet stood silently behind the pool.

It shimmered with a faint white glow.

“The ninth level, huh...”

Lu Sheng's eyes flickered slightly as he gazed at the white stone tablet, not knowing what he was thinking.

To be honest, Lu Sheng was conflicted.

If he could go to the ninth level, that would naturally be good.

After all, merely the eighth level allowed him to successfully condense the Immaculate Golden Body. Under such circumstances, the Opportunity of the ninth level might allow him to Breakthrough to Nirvana.

Once he Breakthrough to Nirvana, in the Otherworldly Demon World, he would be a Demon Marquis expert.

In a large clan like the Lion Demon Clan, he could even become a Vice Battle Group Leader.

However... Lu Sheng was still thinking about what Shi Lie had said before, that even with a chance to contend for the Demon God Inheritance, it was best not to try.

Because... no one in the Beast Demon Royal Clan would ever want to see this happen.

Their allowing the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda to open for the major clans under their command was already their limit. If the Prodigies of these major clans were to obtain the Demon God Inheritance... then the people of the Beast Demon Royal Clan would be completely enraged.

As a result, Lu Sheng was somewhat conflicted about whether to give it a try.

Zhao Changsheng, who was nearby, seemed to have seen through Lu Sheng’s thoughts and chuckled, “I know what you’re worried about, but what if both of us die in this Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda?”

Hearing Zhao Changsheng’s words, Lu Sheng’s heart stirred slightly.

The two of them... died in the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda?

“That Prodigy of the Tiger Demon Clan must be gloating right now. Since he’s so arrogant, let him obtain the Demon God Inheritance. We two... are merely pawns who died in the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda. Furthermore... even the three Prodigies of the Beast Demon Royal Clan were killed by him!”

Zhao Changsheng’s voice revealed a hint of ruthlessness.

“You have a way to escape?”

Lu Sheng looked at Zhao Changsheng with some curiosity.

This guy actually had so many tricks up his sleeve?

Or rather, Wang Mu's methods could already influence the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda?

What exactly was Wang Mu's identity?

If he was merely a member of the Demonic Cult, he wouldn't be thriving in the Otherworldly Demon World, would he?

After all, in the eyes of the Otherworldly Demons, members of the Demonic Cult were merely lackeys.

“Don’t worry about my methods, just tell me if you’re in or not. The Demon God's Legacy, hehe, it might allow us to Breakthrough to Nirvana. Then, when we search for other profound spirit fragments, we’ll have a greater chance of success!”

Zhao Changsheng said with a smile, gazing at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng was silent for a moment, then grinned, a hint of madness appearing in his eyes.

“Then let’s do it!”

The two exchanged glances, both smiling.

Since there was a way to deceive the heavens and someone to take the blame for them, what was there to worry about? Just go for it.

Anyway, there were still a few days until the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda opened. They absolutely couldn't waste the good things left by this Demon God expert.

After all, who knew when they would be able to come in again!

...Meanwhile, in a volcano on the seventh Heaven and Earth of the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda, a young man with a tiger's head sat cross-legged in the magma.

Dense magma continuously poured into his Physical Body, and each time magma surged in, his aura would grow stronger.

A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes, a look of ecstasy appearing: “This seventh Heaven and Earth is simply a Cultivation Holy Land for me. After only twenty days of Cultivation, I have already condensed the ninth Golden Body Texture. After Cultivating for a while longer, once I return, I can begin to Breakthrough to the Demon Marquis Realm!”

“By then, I will be a top Prodigy of the Tiger Demon Clan, a rare sight in ten thousand years. The future of the Tiger Demon Clan will undoubtedly be under my rule, and I might even overthrow the suppression of the Beast Demon Royal Clan!”

A ferocious smile appeared on his face, as if he had already envisioned that beautiful future.

As a result, his laughter echoed throughout the entire volcano.
