125: The strongest totem spell, with ever-changing true spirits.

"Finally, it's mine..."

Li Jiangchen held the Fundamental Totem Diagram, and as his Spiritual Sense permeated it, his mind immediately entered a peculiar space.

All around, like plastered walls, ferocious Vicious Beast totems floated, their auras like living beings, lifelike.

These were the Fundamental Totem Diagrams of various tribes that Wuyuan City had collected over countless years.

Each totem originated from a large tribe; once cultivated, it could allow one to Break through to the Body Refining Saint Realm.

"With so many totems, if I use them as a Foundation to comprehend the Strongest Totem Art, its upper limit would definitely not stop at a Body Refining Saint of the third heaven," Li Jiangchen said.

Compared to True Essence Saints, Body Refining Saints rely more on resources and the strength of their Body Refining Cultivation Technique, rather than the comprehension of Profound Truths.

The Human Realm has never seen a Body Refining Martial Saint exceed the third heaven, simply because of insufficient resources and Cultivation Technique Foundation.

But Li Jiangchen was different.

In terms of resources, he had the Pseudo-Saint and Saint Realm Vicious Beast bones accumulated by Wuyuan City over countless years, and the vajra bodhi tree in the ancient mirror.

For Body Refining Cultivation Techniques, he would use the vast number of Fundamental Totem Diagrams as fuel, and with his Demon cultivation, deduce and refine the Strongest Totem Art.

Surpassing the Body Refining third heaven might not be impossible.

Li Jiangchen immediately sat down cross-legged.

His Demon cultivation rapidly burned.

【Year one, you comprehended the Flying Dragon Totem and gained much.】

【Year two, you comprehended the Ba Snake Totem and gained much.】

...【Year thirteen thousand, you comprehended the Thunder Ox Totem, thoroughly understanding all thirteen thousand Fundamental Totem Diagrams. You began to attempt to create the Strongest Totem Art.】

【Year fourteen thousand, you used the Ba Snake as a body and initially created the Ba Snake Devouring Heaven Diagram. After some deliberation, you found that even if this art was successfully cultivated, it could only reach the Peak of the third heaven.】

【Year fifteen thousand, you improved the Ba Snake Devouring Heaven Diagram, entering the Dao with Dragon bones, refining Dragon essence, and created the Startling Dragon Saint Essence Diagram. After some deliberation, you found that the upper limit of this art was higher, but it still failed to Break through the Body Refining third heaven Bottleneck.】

...【Year one hundred thirteen thousand. After a hundred comprehensions, you integrated and mastered them, creating the True Spirit Myriad Transformations Diagram. This diagram can continuously devour the power of Vicious Beast bones in the world, and its upper limit can reach the Nine Heavens limit.

Note: The resource consumption for each Breakthrough of this method is a hundred times that of the same stage.】

Li Jiangchen opened his eyes, a hint of surprise in their depths.

He had long anticipated that the Witch Race's totem Body Refining system had extraordinary potential, but he never expected that the Strongest Totem Art he comprehended after over a hundred thousand years of study could reach the legendary Saint Realm Nine Heavens.

As for the resource consumption being a hundred times that of the same stage for each Breakthrough, from another perspective, these resources would transform into Foundation and combat power, without any loss, which was not a bad thing.

The Demon Kingdom was released, black mist permeated, and demon souls such as the Fire Crow King, Fire-Eating Insect King, and Demon Flood Dragon King soared out.

"Open the cauldrons, boil the bones!"

A few breaths later, giant bronze cauldrons floated in the air, and within them, the Pseudo-Saint Vicious Beast bones visibly melted.

The Saint Realm Vicious Beast bones were entirely different; they contained Saint Realm vicious souls, which, though dead, refused to yield, desperately resisting the refinement of the flames.

This was the drawback of the totem art.

Saint Realm Vicious Beast bones contained vicious souls, making refinement difficult, and their ferocity was extremely hard to remove. Even after a Breakthrough to Martial Saint, prolonged activation carried the risk of driving one into madness.

However, this point had already been completely resolved during those hundred thousand-plus years of comprehension.

Li Jiangchen performed hand seals, and a unique fluctuation emanated from his body. The rampant remnant souls of the Saint Realm Vicious Beast bones wailed, their essence merging into the medicinal soup, while the dregs dissipated into a black smoke, and the pale bones instantly dissolved like snow meeting the spring sun.

Li Jiangchen soared into the air, sitting cross-legged, bare-chested, revealing the Void-Tearing Eagle Dragon totem on his back.

The True Spirit Myriad Transformations Totem was different from ordinary fundamental totem diagrams; it did not require the dissipation of existing totem Qi and blood.

Instead, during the refining process, it would refine each totem into a single entity, forming a true spirit, which would then merge into one's body.

When facing an enemy, one could freely change the form of the true spirit.

Time passed, and one after another, phantom totem images rapidly merged into Li Jiangchen's body, causing his aura to surge... At this moment.

Enlightenment Hall.

Pieces of enlightenment stone streaked across the dome of the hall like meteors.

The Dragon Saint struck out with a claw, the Void Realm vibrated, immediately blocking the flight path of a gold element enlightenment stone. Then, with a claw, he seized it, and a gold element enlightenment stone appeared in his grasp.

"A gold element enlightenment stone, just what young Li needs." The Dragon Saint put away the enlightenment stone, about to fight again, when he saw the dome's relief sculpture tremble, stone skin falling off, and a strong seven-colored light emanating from within.

The next moment, a Dragon shadow shot out from the relief sculpture, emitting astonishing Profound Truth fluctuations. Its Dragon tail swept across the sky, and the previously scattered enlightenment stones, like stars surrounding the moon, flew to the Dragon shadow's side.

"Spiritual Charm manifested, this is a High Grade enlightenment stone."

"Not only that, this Dragon shadow enlightenment stone emits seven-colored light, containing multiple attribute Profound Truths. Once fully refined, it might lead to an immediate ascension."

In the distance, Temple Keeper watched with burning eyes.

The Great Shang Dragon Vein was precisely carved by the Great Shang Dynasty's Great Ancestor from a Dragon shadow enlightenment stone, which led to the continuous birth of twelve Martial Saints in the Great Shang Dynasty, allowing it to stand firm for tens of thousands of years.

"Great Opportunity, kill!"

In an instant, the Saints abandoned the enlightenment stone fragments and rushed over.

However, the Dragon shadow enlightenment stone was not so easy to capture. Its Dragon head and horns were sharp, lightning flashed on them, and electric light was unleashed, transforming into golden lightning that instantly struck three approaching Saints, leaving them charred outside and tender inside.

At this moment, a giant golden net descended from the sky, blocking all escape routes for the Dragon shadow enlightenment stone. But with a flick of its long tail, the inverse scale on its chest glowed, and space spread like ripples. The Dragon shadow actually drilled out through a spatial crack, causing the golden net to miss.

"Damn it, even our clan's supreme grade Spiritual Artifact, the Hun Tian Net, can't trap this fiend." A Wood Clan Saint's face was grim.

Suddenly, the Wood Clan Saint's eyes widened, feeling a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down with disbelief, only to see the Dragon shadow passing through his chest. Wherever it went, flesh and blood rapidly turned purplish-black, emitting a strong stench.

Three breaths later, the Wood Clan Saint turned into a puddle of pus.

"Lightning, space, poison... the superposition of multi-element combat power makes this Dragon shadow enlightenment stone's combat power simply outrageous!"

"The Wood Clan is skilled in healing, yet he didn't even last three breaths. It seems the toxicity contained in this stone should have reached the second heaven realm."

"It's just an un-enlightened beast after all. Let's work together to kill it, then each rely on our own abilities."

"Good."

In an instant, Yao Race, Wood Clan, and Sea Clan Saints united, wielding supreme grade Spiritual Artifacts, fiercely attacking.

The Dragon shadow enlightenment stone had extraordinary combat power, reaching the second heaven, but ants can bite an elephant to death, and its lack of intelligence made it no match for the Saints.

After the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the Dragon shadow enlightenment stone's aura weakened, already showing signs of decline.

"When the Dragon shadow shatters, please help me seize the inverse scale on its chest and abdomen. Afterward, Qian will offer an enlightenment stone of the same size in exchange," Qian Ping secretly transmitted.

He had seen it clearly just now.

The Dragon horns were manifested from a lightning element enlightenment stone, and the Dragon teeth were from a poison element enlightenment stone.

And the inverse scale on the chest and abdomen was the rarest space element enlightenment stone.

"Alright." The Dragon Saint and Elder Li exchanged glances.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Dragon shadow wailed. Under the suppression of a Demon-Subduing Pestle, its body shattered inch by inch, transforming into seven streaks of light that shot outwards.

"Grab it!"

"It's mine!"

"Courting death! How dare you snatch food from the mouth of my Sea Clan!"

The fragile Alliance instantly disintegrated, and the Saints engaged in fierce combat.

A Bagua Qiankun Diagram expanded, transforming into a mystical light that descended, immediately slowing down the Dragon shadow's inverse scale, which had been moving like a fish.

"Now!"

Qian Ping was overjoyed and quickly activated the array diagram to absorb it.

Suddenly, Demonic Qi soared into the sky, and terrifying pressure instantly dispersed the array diagram. The backlash caused Qian Ping and the other two to spit blood and fly backward.
