172: Chapter 172 Harmony between Heaven and Man!

Finally, Ling Tian's body size fixed at 350 meters! Just like a real mountain!

On the surface of his dark golden Dragon scales, the Star Crystal Armor was incredibly Heavy and solid, emitting a cold, hard metallic luster.

His four Dragon horns became thicker and longer, with dark red Destruction thunderlight flickering at the tips.

When his Dragon wings unfurled, the wingspan exceeded 400 meters, and a gentle flap could whip up a gale.

The most significant changes came from his limbs and tail.

His limbs were thicker and more powerful, his Dragon claws sharper, and his fingertips were wreathed in Geng Metal Qi, as if they could tear through everything.

"Yinglong Heaven-Breaking Tail" evolved into "Star Destruction Tail"!

His tail became thicker and longer, the surface of the Dragon scales on the tail was covered with a layer of Star Crystal Armor, and the bone hammer at the end turned dark blue, containing a terrifying power of Star Destruction!

"Star Destruction Tail": Your tail has Fusion of Star Power with the Law of Destruction. With a single strike, it can shatter stars! It possesses an additional destruction bonus against buildings, fortifications, and large targets!

At the same time, the internal organs within Ling Tian's body also became more stable and powerful under the nourishment of the Five Elements cycle.

The "Geng Metal Taotie Lung" exhaled and inhaled Geng Metal Qi, feeding back into the other internal organs.

The "Five Elements Destruction Furnace" fire burned brighter, and its refining ability was stronger.

The "Power Furnace", "Earth Spleen", and "Star-Thunder Dual Kidneys" all received varying degrees of strengthening under the nourishment of the yao jing mineral vein energy.

And what surprised Ling Tian the most was that his fourth transformation of the "Nine Transformations of the Dragon"—the Yinglong Transformation—had actually reached the introductory level under the infusion of a large amount of celestial phenomenon power and Star Power!

Although it was just the introductory level and still far from Minor Achievement, it had already raised his control over celestial phenomena by a notch!

Now, he didn't need to charge up; he could easily trigger nine types of celestial phenomena at will!

He could even attempt to trigger more powerful celestial phenomena! For example, thunderstorms, hurricanes, hailstorms, earthquakes...

"Is this... the power of a Tier 3 Enhanced Body?" Ling Tian felt the surging power within his body, his heart filled with immense pride.

Strong! Unprecedentedly strong!

He was now confident that after activating the True Dragon Reverse Scale, he would likely be able to go head-to-head with an Early Stage Quasi-Emperor!

But what surprised Ling Tian the most was that during this evolution, he had awakened a brand new special ability.

It was a feeling of... merging with the heavens and earth, becoming an Incarnation of nature.

It was as if, as long as he wished, he could lower his sense of presence to the minimum and blend perfectly with the surrounding environment.

[Ding! Detected that the host's Yinglong Bloodline has Awakening, and control over celestial phenomena has reached a critical point. Learned new skill: "Unity of Heaven and Man (Yinglong Exclusive)"!]

["Unity of Heaven and Man (Yinglong Exclusive)"]: The Yinglong governs celestial phenomena and is inherently a part of the heavens and earth. When you remain still, you can gradually merge with the surrounding environment, lowering your sense of presence to the minimum, and resonate with the heavens and earth. In this state, your perception and control over celestial phenomena increase by 300%, and you are difficult to discover by conventional detection methods. Your normal sense of presence will be restored when actively deactivated or when moving.

"Unity of Heaven and Man..." Ling Tian felt the effects of this new skill, a flash of pleasant surprise in his eyes.

This skill was practically tailor-made for sneak attacks and lurking!

Although his current body size was too large, making it unlikely to hide completely under normal circumstances, now that he had obtained Unity of Heaven and Man, he could significantly reduce his sense of presence, making people subconsciously ignore his existence.

It was like a huge rock; although conspicuous, people would feel it was just a part of the scenery.

Moreover, this skill had an additional benefit: in the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, his ability to control celestial phenomena would increase by three times!

This meant that if he triggered celestial phenomena in this state, the power would be more terrifying and the range would be wider!

"What an unexpected delight." Ling Tian grinned.

This evolution had yielded too many gains. Not only had his body size skyrocketed and his strength soared, but he had also obtained the divine skill "Unity of Heaven and Man".

In the future, ambushing people... no, tactical ambushes, would be much more convenient.

"Time to go up." Ling Tian glanced at the yao jing mineral vein that had been mostly devoured by him and grinned.

This trip out had yielded huge gains. With a thought, he activated "Unity of Heaven and Man".

Hum—! An invisible ripple spread out from his body.

His body did not disappear, but his sense of presence began to drop sharply.

It was like a huge background panel; although it was still there, it was hard to attract attention.

Even the pressure and energy fluctuations he emitted became faint and elusive.

"Not bad." Ling Tian nodded with satisfaction.

[Ding! Detected that the host possesses the special entry "Foundation of Nine Transformations (Gold)". After this evolution, you can choose one body part for additional strengthening and metamorphosis.]

[Please choose: Skin / Skeleton / Muscles / Internal Organs (must specify the specific organ) / Senses / Energy Core / Sharp Teeth / Lower Limbs...]

After the evolution was completed, the Foundation of Nine Transformations continued to exert its power.

However, Ling Tian was in no hurry to use the additional metamorphosis opportunity; he flapped his wings and flew toward the ground.

...

On the ground, Xia Youchu and Quasi-Emperor Bai Jing had been waiting for almost two hours.

"Why hasn't Ling Tian come out yet?" Xia Youchu was a bit worried.

"Nothing happened down there, right?"

"It shouldn't have." Quasi-Emperor Bai Jing shook his head.

"You and I both know that kid's strength. There aren't many things in this world that can make him suffer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Boom—!!! The ground suddenly exploded!

A huge figure, towering like a mountain and majestic like a god, shot up from the underground into the sky! It was Ling Tian!

But the current Ling Tian was different from when he went down.

A colossal body of 350 meters!

The dark golden Dragon scales were covered in Star Crystal Armor, refracting a cold, hard luster under the sunlight.

His four Dragon horns pierced the sky, and his unfurled Dragon wings blotted out the sun.

However, strangely enough, although Ling Tian was right before their eyes, Xia Youchu and Quasi-Emperor Bai Jing had a... indescribable feeling.

It was as if this colossal beast was inherently a part of the heavens and earth.

It was like seeing a mountain, a river, a cloud.

Although huge, it didn't make one feel abrupt or oppressed.

In fact, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they might not even have noticed Ling Tian's presence!

"This... this is..." Quasi-Emperor Bai Jing's eyes widened, his voice trembling.

"He evolved again?!"

"And this feeling... Quasi-Emperor? No, the aura is still far off, but..."

As a Quasi-Emperor, Quasi-Emperor Bai Jing's perception was extremely keen.

He could feel that Ling Tian's current state was very special.

He was clearly right there, yet he seemed to have merged into one with the heavens and earth.

If he didn't deliberately scan with his Divine Thought, he would even subconsciously ignore Ling Tian's existence!

This was already having some characteristics of a Quasi-Emperor!

"Hehe, luck was good." Ling Tian landed on the ground and grinned.

"There was a mineral vein down there, I ate some of it, and then I evolved. I also happened to learn a new ability."

Xia Youchu also covered her mouth, her eyes full of shock.

Although her cultivation was not as good as Quasi-Emperor Bai Jing's, her Rebirth Soul made her perception of auras even keener.

She could feel that Ling Tian's current state was very similar to the legendary Unity of Body and Heaven!

That was a Realm that could only be reached by understanding the Laws of heaven and earth to a very deep level!

But how old was Ling Tian? He wasn't even a year old, all things considered!

And he had already achieved the Unity of Heaven and Man?!

"You guy... you are getting more and more monstrous." Xia Youchu shook her head helplessly.

"Alright, stop joking around. Since you've finished evolving, let's continue on our way. If we delay any longer, we won't arrive at the Imperial Capital before dark."

Ling Tian nodded.

The three of them took off again and flew toward the Imperial Capital.
