C80 Tao diagram evolution
In the dense forest, a figure rushed into the depths of blood forest like lightning. Strangely, the shadow seemed to have merged with the surrounding trees without any special fluctuations.
Although he was wrapped by the branches, he could see his surroundings clearly. In addition, those 'branches' were not real tree branches, but rather formed from Dao power. It was very strange.
There was no need to think too much about it. Those branches were naturally the embodiment of the sapling.
However, the deeper they went, the higher the concentration of blood energy. As for the Xiao Zhi, they continued to absorb the blood energy. As the Xiao Zhi absorbed the blood energy, his body was almost completely filled with the blood energy. Xiao Zhi was even more shocked, and felt that the 'skeleton' dao diagram was extraordinary. This was because the blood within the body would actually automatically nourish the other three dao diagrams, the small sapling, the white tiger, and the giant python.
With the strength of the Xiao Zhi's soul, it was naturally not difficult to discover that the three dao diagrams were slowly becoming stronger. Even he could feel his own strength slowly increasing. With this speed, he believed that it wouldn't be long before he would be able to break through into the Sixth or Seventh Heavenly Layer of Dao Resisting Realm.
Although there were Xiao Zhi moving forward like a gale, the dozens of level 6 beasts did not notice him at all. This was the power of the small tree sapling dao diagram. It could hide one's body in the dense forest. At the very least, one couldn't find it by relying on one's soul perception.
Of course, this was also related to the fact that soul detection was not feasible in blood forest, unless one was extremely strong.
"So powerful."
Xiao Zhi's face suddenly changed. He felt that ten kilometers ahead, there was a powerful aura. He had never felt that kind of pressure before. It contained a thick infernal energy.
Not only was it the killing intent contained in the aura, it was also surrounded by it.
This point caused Xiao Zhi to recall that Wu Bupang had mentioned that the location of the 'Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree' was an Earth Fiend location. Ordinary cultivators were simply unable to contact it at all, otherwise, their soul would be damaged and they would encounter an unimaginable disaster.
Just when the Xiao Zhi was worried that his body would be corroded by the Earth Terminus Qi, his speed suddenly slowed down.
In the end, the Xiao Zhi stopped under a towering tree.
Every tree here was as thick as a water tank and as tall as a hundred feet. However, every tree was now in a state of decay and withering.
Among them, Xiao Zhi even saw several Blood Demon Trees, but unfortunately, all of them were completely destroyed and only the skin of the 'sanguinarum fructus' remained.
From this, it could be seen how big of a commotion that Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree had caused this time. If it weren't for those rank 6 beasts retreating to the edge ahead of time, they would have met with calamity as well. In the sky, the blood-red energy had completely formed a torrent that surged towards the center.
The Xiao Zhi had just stopped, but the Skeleton Dao Diagram did not. Its body gradually enlarged, enveloping Xiao Zhi in its abdominal cavity. Its arms were like blades, and its pitch black eyes continuously flashed with a cold light. After which, he gently waved his arms, as though he could destroy everything in his path.
The originally clear stream of blood in the air was now as if a waterbag had cut a hole through it. Endless amounts of blood energy poured down from within, like a torrential rain or a water column pouring down onto Xiao Zhi's head.
"Humph!"
Xiao Zhi staggered, then fell on his butt. He felt like his entire soul had been attacked, but fortunately, he was protected by the small sapling, so he was not injured. But, his body actually felt a vast and boundless energy pouring down.
The Skeleton Dao Diagram became clearer, and stood behind Xiao Zhi like a real skeleton. His pair of eyes turned even darker. It really was like an abyss. After the torrential energy passed through its body, it slowed down a lot. Then, it was pulled away from Xiao Zhi and left a part of it.
Xiao Zhi closed his eyes and continued to circulate the 'Art of Elemental Heaven' to refine the blood energy that entered his body. He did not care much about the blood energy that had been extracted, because he knew very well that he could not absorb it.
However, the blood would not simply enter the skeleton's body. At this point, Xiao Zhi finally understood what was going on. It was as if the little sapling dao diagram naturally had the ability to restrain it, and he had allocated the blood energy through the little sapling's ability to the White Tiger and Giant Python.
Time slowly passed, and Xiao Zhi seemed to be covered in blood. Even though the Skeleton Dao Diagram had drained most of its blood energy, he was still unable to fully absorb and refine it, causing the remaining blood energy to grow.
"Boom!"
An hour later, accompanied by a light sound of wind, the Xiao Zhi's aura explosively increased, but the movements were still forcibly suppressed by the small sapling dao diagram.
Sixth Sky of Dao Resisting Realm!
If the people in the outside world were to find out, they would definitely be shocked because this kind of speed was too heaven defying, surpassing the geniuses that they knew.
Although Dao Resisting Realm was not a watershed, within a few days, breaking through from the first stage of the Dao Resisting Realm to the sixth stage of the Dao Resisting Realm was still unbelievable.
"I can't go on like this, or else my cultivation realm will be unstable and I will be criticized."
Xiao Zhi quickly reacted, he was not immersed in the pleasure of this realm's rise. He had been going smoothly recently. Although the speed at which his cultivation base rose had made him very happy, he knew that the path of cultivation was the way to go.
Immediately afterwards, the Xiao Zhi dispersed all of the energy into his body and bones. The real strengthening training began, which was different from using Tao power normally. With so much energy to forge, the sound of the forging was extremely loud. It was as if there was an earth dragon rolling beneath his skin. Occasionally, a foul stench of black gas would seep out from his body, and some dark red liquid would be expelled from his body.
These were the impurities within the human body that were stored within the bones, muscles, and organs all year round. This was also an important reason why people would become ill. It was just that cultivators had the power to temper their bodies, so it was usually very difficult for them to get sick. However, after elimination, the cultivator's entire body would appear in another pure state.
This was also very useful for cultivation. One had to know that some of the medicinal pills refined by the alchemist grandmasters were for this reason, and it was often said that they would cleanse the meridians and clear the marrow. Xiao Zhi was able to do the same with such a large amount of blood energy.
Very quickly, this layer of filth appeared on the surface of Xiao Zhi's body, making him look like a beggar. Only those who understood would know how strong Xiao Zhi's body would become after this round of body forging.
This was a huge transformation. Xiao Zhi could clearly feel that his bones were seemingly showing a transparent color, including his muscles and skin. He controlled the endless blood energy from the inside to the outside, constantly tempering his skin. In the end, all of his attention was focused on his meridians and organs.
In this way, Xiao Zhi's hair grew at a crazy rate, and very quickly, it reached his waist. When it reached the ground, it was as if his entire being was undergoing a transformation, as though, in that instant, his entire body was growing.
He was originally around 1.56 meters tall, but now he stood at 1.7 meters, or even 1.8 meters.
He had become stronger, and his skin was glowing with power. There was no need to test him out. Just with a sense, he felt that he could defend against the ordinary attacks of ordinary domineering state cultivators. What kind of concept was this? Right now, he was only at the sixth stage of the Dao Resisting Realm.
Not only did he have the ability to fight those who were at a higher level, he also had the ability to fight those who were at a higher level.
One must know that the physical defenses of cultivators were weak. This was because they focused on the power of Dao-Energy and the power of their Dao-Diagram. To the best of Xiao Zhi's knowledge, Dong Ming's body was only a bit stronger. However, he was still far from being able to compare with his current self. The gap between the two of them was extremely large.
Xiao Zhi did not care about this. After training his meridians and internal organs, he turned his attention to his body and bones. It was like a blacksmith forging iron into steel.
A full four hours passed, and the sun hung high in the sky. However, it was stopped by the thick blood energy, as if someone had discovered that the torrent of blood energy had been snatched away by someone. In the center of blood forest, the energy was even more shocking, so much so that it could destroy the sky.
The shadow of a towering tree was clearly visible.
What appeared right after, was an endless baleful aura, causing one's heart to tremble. Even cultivators with Dao Breaking Stage would choose to run, not daring to stay for long.
Facing all these, Xiao Zhi did not move like a bell. Although he didn't have a good impression of the 'skeleton' dao diagram, he was still somewhat afraid. As expected, the overwhelming power and killing intent were unable to invade the Xiao Zhi at all. It was as if before it could even enter the Xiao Zhi's body, it had already been filtered by the Skeleton Dao Diagram and absorbed into its body.
"Bam!"
The ground beneath Xiao Zhi shook and his aura changed once again. Never would he have thought that even though he had used all his blood energy to train his body, he would still make another breakthrough.
The various dao diagrams changed once again.
The body of the White Tiger became increasingly taller, but it wasn't actually taller. Instead, it was a type of feeling. Strands of strange patterns appeared on its body, causing people to be unable to understand what it meant.
The python's body was covered in dense scales, and its head was bulging with two flesh lumps. As for the sapling, it was much larger than before, as if it was about to grow into a real tree.
The dao diagram was evolving!
Generally speaking, a cultivator's dao diagram would display a 'fixed' state. That is to say, what happens when you just emerge from the classroom, and what happens afterwards as well. And the evolution of the dao diagram represented a type of instability. For example, the Peacock Dao Diagram. The legends said that the peacock was a descendant of the 'Phoenix'. If it continued to evolve, it would become a 'Phoenix'. Its power would increase by more than twofold, twofold. That kind of change was absolutely earth-shattering.
And right now, the Xiao Zhi's dao diagram was undergoing such changes.
Without waiting for the Xiao Zhi to celebrate, the heaven and earth shook, and this area suddenly darkened. A vast and imposing aura engulfed the entire area, pressing down so hard that the entire blood forest was trembling.
Xiao Zhi immediately thought of the key problem, and it was as Wu Bupang had said.
In the forest of the ancient history, there would be a strong warrior who would obstruct the progress of the Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree!
A great battle was about to begin.
