257: Introduction to Yuantuo Dharmakaya

Above the Azure Underworld, winds and clouds surged, and the situation became increasingly tense, but Lu Chen still paid no heed to external affairs, merely cultivating in seclusion.

Because of the gains obtained from the Qing Ming Great Cleansing, Lu Chen had still not completely digested them. Before that, he only needed to cultivate in seclusion within the sect with peace of mind, and his strength would naturally advance by leaps and bounds.

"It seems the stronger my strength, the faster my speed in comprehending Divine Powers!" Lu Chen suddenly felt.

Because just now, his Clone, which had been comprehending the Divine Power Tenfold Spirit Body day and night without rest, had another Breakthrough, allowing him to instantly cultivate the fourth Clone.

Then, let this Clone go comprehend the third Divine Power!

After much thought, he finally chose the Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers formed from the 'Nameless Golden Bell', because the Divine Power within this Spirit Treasure was an extremely powerful defensive Divine Power called Formless Divine Ring. Once cultivated, a divine ring would naturally cover the body, which could not only defend the Physical Body but also the Divine Soul.

The point about defending the Divine Soul was actually not very useful for Lu Chen, who had the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin guarding his Sea of Consciousness.

However, what Lu Chen valued was precisely this point of Formless Divine Ring defending the Divine Soul.

Because after his Yin God entered the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, he lost the means to defend his Divine Soul. Although his Divine Soul was strong enough, he would still be affected if he encountered Spirit Treasures that attacked the Divine Soul.

It was precisely because of this point that he suffered setbacks everywhere when challenging the high tower, which was something he could not tolerate.

But once Formless Divine Ring was cultivated, this situation would immediately improve.

The seclusion once again returned to monotony. Besides meditating and cultivating, refining the 'netherworld spirit flower' every day, Lu Chen would have his Yin God enter the Immortal Coffin to fight against those Yang God Heavenly Pride on the second floor of the high tower. Although he still couldn't win, he had made great progress and already had the strength to fight.

Of course, this was only a small part of Lu Chen's strength.

Not to mention his Physical Body, which had already stepped into Body Refinement Five Tribulations Yang God, had not entered the Immortal Coffin, nor had he used the Divine Power Tenfold Spirit Body, which allowed him to cultivate five Clones. The only thing he used was his Yin God.

As well as the new Divine Power he had just started cultivating, Yuan Tuo Dharma Body!

But even if it was just at the entry level, the combat power bonus this Divine Power brought to Lu Chen was still terrifyingly large.

On the second floor of the high tower, Lu Chen's Yin God transformed into a giant thousands of feet tall. Every move was accompanied by terrifying power. Wherever he passed, it was like stars colliding. Combined with the Earthly Fiend Dragon Slaying Art, he was simply astonishingly powerful.

He could already fight back and forth with that mural of the Yang God Heavenly Pride who was born with the 'Leaving Fire Great Banner'.

Especially for Lu Chen, who had mastered the rules of fire, the Blazing Fire was not a fatal threat to him. On the contrary, Lu Chen, who was using Yuan Tuo Dharma Body and Earthly Fiend Dragon Slaying, could make this Yang God Heavenly Pride feel like facing a formidable enemy with every strike.

In the end, Lu Chen still appeared outside the high tower.

The reason was simple: the power of the Spirit Treasure was indeed extraordinary. His Yuan Tuo Dharma Body could withstand the Blazing Fire, but it could not withstand the power of the Leaving Fire Great Banner itself.

"Once my Formless Divine Ring Divine Power reaches the entry level, I will be able to defeat Yang God Heavenly Pride across Realms just with my Yin God!" Lu Chen's fighting spirit did not diminish, unaffected by the defeat, and he continued his seclusion.

After an unknown number of days passed, Lu Chen suddenly felt a feedback force coming from within the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin again.

It was that the Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers nurtured by the Yang Gods of those four Demonic Path Great Cultivators had completed, thoroughly advancing to peak Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers, or Dao Soldiers comparable to Eight Tribulations Yang God.

As for Old Ghost Zhong's Yang God, which was only at the peak of the sixth rank, it had long since been completely absorbed by the Dao Soldiers and successfully advanced.

His Body Refinement cultivation had strengthened again, but there was still some distance before breaking through to the Six Tribulations Realm.

"I wonder if this last remaining piece of netherworld spirit flower can help me break into the Yang God Realm!" Lu Chen was faintly looking forward to it.

Over these past days, he had continuously refined the netherworld spirit flower. His Qi Refining Realm had already entered the Late Stage of Yin God, approaching Perfection.

But after reaching this Realm, the resources he needed also increased.

According to Lu Chen's estimation, if he wasn't a Yin God formed from an Immortal Embryo, and wasn't the ten Yin Gods of ten rules, then after refining several netherworld spirit flower petals, he should have already achieved the Yang God Realm by now.

Unfortunately, he had not.

His foundation was too profound, and too astonishing.

Being both an Immortal Embryo and ten Yin Gods, the requirements for cultivation were far beyond what ordinary Yin Gods could compare to, and naturally, it was also much more difficult to cultivate to Perfection.

However, it didn't matter. A more profound foundation represented stronger strength and more extraordinary potential. On the future Immortal Path, he would only walk further and more steadily than ordinary Yin Gods!

It is also worth mentioning that since he entered the Yin God stage, the extra Dao Soldier slots in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin had only been filled by one Three-Headed Heavenly Wolf Grand Demon at the Yang Spirit Realm. There were still four hundred and seventy-nine Dao Soldiers remaining, and he was still lacking Dao Soldier seeds.

The large number of Monster Corpses he had accumulated before were all piled onto sixty Spirit Treasure Swift Travel Dao Soldiers, forcefully stacking these sixty Spirit Treasure Swift Travel into wind thunder dao soldier, so much so that as Lu Chen's Realm continuously broke through and the number of Dao Soldiers he could nurture increased, he ran out of Dao Soldier seeds...

But there was no need to panic, there were plenty of demonic creatures in the Ancient Demon Realm.

After he came out of seclusion, if his Sect Leader hadn't killed these demonic creatures and left behind Monster Corpses, then he would take action himself.

To be honest, with his current strength, even Lu Chen himself didn't know how strong he was now.

When he only had twenty-nine wind thunder dao soldier, his Dao Soldiers could easily control and kill peak Yang God Great Cultivators. Now, he had ten more peak wind thunder dao soldier, and soon there would be an eleventh wind thunder dao soldier.

Moreover, among them, there were also those that could control people, such as the Binding Dragon Rope and Binding Spirit Rope, which could forcefully control. Coupled with the Divine Powers within them, Forbidden God Curse and 《Absolute Spirit Bind》, it was no exaggeration to say that this would not be any worse than the 'Soul Separation Three Sound Gong' which attacked the Divine Soul, and might even be much stronger.

Because the Soul Separation Three Sound Gong, this wind thunder dao soldier, was only equivalent to the Two Tribulations Yang God Realm, there was a large gap in strength.

In addition, the three Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers that attacked the Divine Soul, 'Nine Luminary Star Soul Shuttle', 'Soul Suppressing Bell', and 'Soul Shattering Bell', were also close to being nurtured. Moreover, they were all existences comparable to the Seven Tribulations Yang God Realm, much stronger than the 'Soul Separation Three Sound Gong'.

If he were to truly fight, Lu Chen had no doubt that even an ordinary Great Power would be controlled to death by his Dao Soldiers, without even a chance to fight back!

"Suddenly, I somewhat want to come out of seclusion and search for those Ancient Demon Clan in the Ancient Demon Realm!"

At this moment, Lu Chen was inexplicably restless.

That recently revived Demon Immortal had broken into the Ancient Demon Realm, and Human Race Great Experts and Great Power from the Starry Sky had also entered the Ancient Demon Realm. This meant that the Ancient Demon Great Experts and Great Power in the Ancient Demon Realm would be held back by the powerhouses of the Human Race.

So, wouldn't the remaining Ancient Demon Clan be left to his Dao Soldiers' tyrannical reign?

No, there are still Dao Soldiers that haven't been fully nurtured yet. Endure, endure!

Lu Chen suppressed his restless Dao Heart, swallowed the last petal of netherworld spirit flower, and prepared to charge into the Qi Refining Yang God Realm!
