I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

The scales of the pinecone could actually fuse with his flesh, Little Pine had truly cultivated to the realm of man and treasure as one.

And not just that, after he fused with the Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda, his figure changed drastically, breaking away from human form and transforming into a purple celestial dragon!

Within the Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda, the Nine Great Heavenly Sovereigns also grew dragon scales, transformed into dragon bodies, each chanting scriptures and offering a treasure. The nine treasures were the core of each layer of the nine-layered Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda. At this moment, their power flowed through, reaching from the spine to the crown, and a powerful dragon威(wēi, majesty/power) erupted, like a vast ocean of dragon威(wēi, majesty/power)!

"Dragon transformation and treasure transformation are happening simultaneously, and the fusion is perfect. This is the Great Dragon Appearance Art and the Great Treasure Refining Art!"

"He can actually cultivate these two Great Daos to such a realm!"

"He didn't cultivate multiple techniques at the same time, but focused on cultivating the mysteries of the human body, and can still achieve this level. It's really incredible!"

"His pinecone has already been refined into a dragon clan treasure, possessing supreme dragon威(wēi, majesty/power), capable of transforming into a celestial dragon. At this moment, with man and treasure as one, it's as if a true dragon bloodline has descended."

"Yeah, this is simply not the strength that a normal Great Saint realm cultivator should have."

"That magic weapon is too outrageous."

The people of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths also began to worry about Ziri.

Ziri himself was not flustered, absorbing boundless purple energy, refining essence, and transforming power. The Ten Ferocious Divine Form Heaven Art transformed into a surging purple flame, burning with an aura that soared into the sky. Hundreds of millions of runes splashed in the flames, distorting space. He gathered all his power, concentrating it in his flesh, and used his Indestructible Scripture and phoenix blood tempered body to pressurize it, compressing the vast power within his body.

With a slight movement, the space involuntarily distorted, because the power he contained at this moment was too terrifying.

He pressed forward with a palm, without using any secret techniques, but a pitch-black palm print appeared in the void. That was caused by the pure power distorting space.

The people of the Ji family watched in shock. This person, without using the Void Scripture secret technique, actually produced an effect similar to the Void Great Hand Seal. The power at this moment was frightening!

Little Pine, transformed into a purple-gold celestial dragon, met the attack, smashing the void palm print with his body covered in immortal gold scales, and fought with Ziri. The two collided physically, but not completely. The Ten Ferocious Divine Form Heaven Art rune flames outside Ziri's body were a layer of treasure armor, with unparalleled defense, and also contained terrifying purple energy. On the other hand, Little Pine's purple-gold dragon scales were inscribed with Great Dao divine patterns, and the dragonized Nine Great Heavenly Sovereigns were also casting spells. Between the collision of the two's fists and claws, countless divine powers exploded, turning the area into a chaotic storm filled with blazing light, as if the heavens and earth were being created, re-evolving earth, water, wind, and fire.

...

The two collided tens of thousands of times in a few breaths. Those with weaker cultivation could not see their figures at all, and could only see two clusters of light constantly vibrating at high frequency, which was their repeated impacts.

Gai Jiuyou presided over this exchange and competition, stabilizing the arena, and thought that the current young people were much fiercer than he was when he was young. The arena was trembling, and if the two's battle was in the outside world, pieces of the galaxy would have turned into powder, and many small worlds of momentary birth and death would have been opened up in the void.

But fortunately, this arena could withstand even the battle of Supreme beings. Although they were fighting fiercely, there was no possibility of breaking the arena.

Suddenly, the light mist formed by the dissipation of various energies cleared, and the sound of dragon roars and phoenix cries resounded, and the two reappeared, revealing their figures.

They were both scarred and bruised. On Ziri's body, the Ten Ferocious Divine Form Heaven Art rune flames flickered, and large areas were extinguished. The body strengthened by the Indestructible Scripture and phoenix blood had also been pierced in many places, and one claw mark even pierced through his chest.

And Little Pine was not in a better state. The immortal gold scales were indestructible, but his flesh was not. The originally tightly arranged and beautiful Divine Imprint Purple Gold scales were crooked, and the rotten flesh below was smashed by Ziri's fierce attack through the Divine Imprint Purple Gold dragon scales. His body was damaged in many places, and even the figures of the Nine Great Heavenly Sovereigns in the pagoda were much fainter.

Ziri roared, the crimson blood light in his body burning. His injuries recovered in an instant. The phoenix blood remaining in his body at this time gave him extremely powerful self-healing abilities, and the dragon energy that had penetrated into his body was expelled by the phoenix blood.

The crimson blood light and purple rune flames intertwined on his body, transforming into a god of war rushing forward. True Dragon Fist, True Phoenix Blade, Kunpeng Palm, Nine Netherworld Extinguishing Finger… The various divine forms in the Ten Ferocious Divine Form Heaven Art were added to his flesh, transforming into martial arts strikes, unstoppable!

In theory, Ziri, who possesses the Primordial Purple Qi Seed, should be better at drowning his opponents with overwhelming spells.

But at this moment, blessed by the phoenix blood, he unleashed close combat techniques, invincible!

Little Pine's purple-gold dragon scales shook all over, opening up, and dragon energy spewed out, like an angry dragon opening its scales, bravely moving forward, not retreating a step, and engaging in close combat with Ziri. Both of them fought desperately, condensing various divine powers and spells into one body, unfolding close combat, with full impact, making people marvel.

The two severely injured each other, purple blood flying, but Ziri was not afraid at all. The remaining crimson flames transformed from phoenix blood kept burning fiercely. These injuries, which would normally be considered serious, were instantly healed for him now.

But Little Pine was not in good condition. Even with the blessing of man and treasure as one and the power of dragon transformation, his attack could injure Ziri's phoenix blood tempered body, but he himself could not defend against Ziri's attack. The Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pine Pagoda was undamaged, and Ziri could not penetrate the dragon scales it transformed into, or even leave a trace, but Ziri's power could explode through the dragon scales, causing him to suffer heavy damage.

Finally, another Strike Divine Stone divine form fist technique bombarded his chest, and the purple light in Little Pine's body suddenly converged, and all the Divine Imprint Purple Gold dragon scales were retracted, exiting the state of man and treasure as one.

Take his life while he's down!

Seeing Little Pine's Divine Imprint Purple Gold dragon scales disappear, and being shaken out of the state of man and treasure as one, Ziri understood that Little Pine had reached his limit and could no longer fight him in that state.

...

So he took advantage of the victory to pursue. As long as he won, the cosmic soul would be his!

The Ten Ferocious Divine Form Heaven Art completely turned from defense to offense, the rune flames burning fiercely, transforming into the forms of the Ten Ferocious beasts, fiercely pouncing and killing, to end this match.

Xiao Song had lost the blessing of the Divine Scar Purple-Gold Pine Pagoda, and the Nine Heavenly Sovereigns within the pagoda were temporarily exhausted of their vital energy and severely injured, making it impossible to use the combination of man and treasure or the dragon transformation for a short period.

"Master…" he murmured.

Then, with his left hand forming a Daoist seal and his right hand forming a Buddhist seal, he combined the two.

Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Shu, Zu, Qian, Xing!

Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, Me, Hum!

Facing the fierce onslaught of the Ten Vicious True Forms, Xiao Song unleashed his final move, pointing with his sword-fingers, a Daoist sword composed of nine small characters, surrounded by six rings of Buddhist light, instantly slashing out.

Boom!

Xiao Song was submerged by the runic transformation of the Ten Vicious.

Zi Ri also held that small nine-character Daoist sword in his hand.

The Daoist sword pierced through his palm and penetrated the skin of his forehead, making people shudder. Fortunately, it didn't pierce through the frontal bone and injure his primordial spirit. He blocked it with his palm. The light of the Phoenix Blood was also burning brightly within his primordial spirit, resisting this attack at the end of its strength.

This final desperate attack was not to be underestimated!

Fortunately, he didn't underestimate his opponent either, remaining vigilant before the battle was decided. However, even in a state of vigilance, he almost failed to block it, which was enough to illustrate the danger of this move.

The powerless small sword was crushed by Zi Ri. It was clearly condensed from nine Daoist mantras, yet it was like a real magic treasure. There were also the six layers of Buddhist light. The combination of Buddhism and Daoism was perfect, making people marvel.

"Visible effort."

He knew the Nine Secrets of Daoism and the Six Syllables of Buddhist Mantra, after all, they were very famous secret techniques in the Great Luo Realm. Many sects had developed them. Xiao Song's sect had obviously developed the Nine Secrets and Six Syllables in a unique way, creating such a desperate attack, perfectly combining the secret techniques of Buddhism and Daoism. It was unknown how much effort he had put into it.

The runic transformation of the Ten Vicious dissipated, and Zi Ri didn't kill him. He stopped as soon as he confirmed that Xiao Song was unable to resist.

"First match, Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, wins!"

Gai Jiuyou announced. There was nothing to be frustrated about. As an Ultimate Supreme, he had already become indifferent to these things.

On the contrary, the geniuses of the Great Luo Realm became anxious.

"The people of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths seem very strong."

"Indeed, they are ridiculously powerful. That physical strength is terrifying."

"Tsk, it seems to have been specially strengthened, but his spells are not a weakness either, with overwhelming spells and purple energy enhancement. He's the first one to appear, probably to get a good start. If the people behind him are all this strong, then it will be hard to say for us."

Xiao Song's strength was severely concealed, or rather, during the selection competition on Earth, no opponent could force him to use the combination of man and treasure and the dragon transformation as trump cards.

But as soon as he fought Zi Ri, he immediately used these two trump cards, showing extremely powerful strength, but even so, he still lost.

The spell strength and physical strength displayed by Zi Ri as the vanguard made them all wary.

"We won!"

…

"We won!"

"First match taken!"

Many people on the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths side cheered, but others felt it was even more troublesome.

Because not everyone was confident of defeating Xiao Song just now!

Zi Ri randomly picked an opponent, Xiao Song, who was already so powerful. How many similar opponents were there on the Great Luo Realm side? If they went up, they wouldn't be confident of defeating Xiao Song. Facing Xiao Song's ridiculously strong Divine Scar Purple-Gold Pagoda and the art of combining man and treasure and dragon transformation, almost everyone here would taste defeat. After all, not everyone had used Immortal King-level Phoenix Blood!

Lü Hong was already regretting it.

If she had known that the geniuses of the Great Luo Realm were so strong, and that the geniuses of the Demon God Palace were not on the same level compared to them, she should have used some of the Immortal King Phoenix Blood to increase her strength!

Now, if the other party was hiding their strength like Xiao Song, she would only get the consolation prize of cosmic essence.

Now, the geniuses of the Great Luo Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were wary of each other, a situation known as 'a weasel fighting a wolf, both are afraid'.

Zi Ri returned to the formation, so next, they should send out their second person.

Meng Tianzheng didn't intend to name anyone, still letting them recommend themselves.

"Who will go for this second match?"

Hesitating, stammering, everyone was very wary of the hidden strength that Xiao Song had just shown, and they thought that they didn't have Zi Ri's battle power of tempering their body with Phoenix Blood. They felt that if they went up and chose an opponent like Xiao Song, wouldn't they lose face and the prize?

"I'll go!"

Seeing that no one was willing to fight, Qin Hao volunteered.

"Good, this second match will be up to you."

Meng Tianzheng knew Qin Hao's strength. Although he wasn't considered top-notch before, he had just obtained many benefits in the Demon God Palace, and his strength had greatly increased, so he could fight.

Shi Yi wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say it. He just nodded to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao smiled, and then confidently stepped onto the arena.

On the Great Luo Realm side, the geniuses were on high alert, because they lacked intelligence and didn't know how strong this person was, or how he compared to Zi Ri just now.

Qin Hao's cultivation was a step slower, and he was not yet in the Escape One Realm. In the Great Luo Realm, he was a Saint King Realm cultivator.

Naturally, he had to choose a suitable opponent. He wouldn't bully the weak, nor would he blindly choose a Great Saint as his opponent.

He scanned his gaze, but he didn't have much of an idea. Although he had read the information, Xiao Song's action of hiding his strength and erupting made them know that the information they had collected before was actually unreliable.

Yang Xi faced Qin Hao's gaze with his head held high, and couldn't help but step forward.

His cultivation was comparable, in the Saint King Realm, and he was a powerful physique in this realm, the Desolate Ancient Holy Body, also known as the Undying Golden Body, with powerful bloodline power and unparalleled physique.

This was a suitable opponent, so Qin Hao asked, "Desolate Ancient Holy Body, are you willing to fight me?"

Yang Xi laughed heartily, "I couldn't ask for more!"

He stepped onto the arena step by step. With each step he took, the fighting spirit in his eyes became more and more fiery. The holy blood in his body surged, as if a river of magma was awakening and flowing.

When he completely stepped onto the arena, his battle blood had completely boiled, turning into golden battle energy that soared into the sky. A golden battle spear was held in his hand, obviously a divine weapon mixed with immortal gold, reflecting his golden blood energy.

Qin Hao also took out a black halberd. This was a divine weapon made from materials traded in the Demon God Palace, which could be considered to make up for his lack of a handy weapon.

"Qin Hao."

Before the battle, he first announced his name.

"Yang Xi!"

The Holy Body's blood energy completely erupted, half of the arena was golden fire. There were hundreds of divine furnaces burning fiercely in Yang Xi's body, providing him with a constant stream of power.

Qin Hao didn't show weakness either. A Sin Clan rune appeared in the sky, suppressing the Holy Body's blood energy, and then the supreme bones in his body shone, and the powerful aura made the Great Luo Realm geniuses' hearts sink.

This opponent doesn't seem simple either!
