Accompanied by Zhou Bai's contemplation of the "Primal Dao Collection 07," his Dao transformation progressed at a speed far beyond the norm.

Understanding of the Heavenly Dao, understanding of the void, understanding of all things in the world, as if memories buried deep in the brain were being unearthed.

When Zhou Bai's Dao transformation reached 60%, he already possessed the power to rival beings like Zi Yang True Monarch and Wan Xing True Monarch, who were considered deities of high rank, far exceeding the limits of mortal cultivators.

This was due to the comprehensive and terrifying enhancement of Zhou Bai's strength from the Nine Tribulations of Human and Heaven, which increased his prowess in aspects such as physical body, speed, aptitude, fortune, Primordial Spirit, mutation, magical treasures, and kinship, leaving no weak spots.

With each enhancement in Dao transformation, every additional 5% or 10% fundamentally bolstered the power of the Nine Tribulations further.

These transformations only grew stronger as the Dao transformation progressed, and the qualitative leap from 100% to 101% was larger than any before, surpassing the terrifying increments of mortal cultivators with each qualitative change beyond 100%.

When Zhou Bai's Dao transformation gradually ascended from 60% to 70%, his combat power underwent another qualitative leap.

Zhou Bai's power surged, and naturally, the power of the Twisted Shadow surged along with it.

After all, to Zhou Bai, the Twisted Shadow was just another part of his body.

He simultaneously controlled both his main form and the Twisted Shadow, enjoying the sensory experiences of both sight, sound, and touch; maintaining constant connection, as if a person suddenly possessed two pairs of eyes, four legs, four hands.

The two were completely synchronized, indistinguishable from each other.

The experiences of the Twisted Shadow were also the experiences of Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai felt his Dao transformation naturally begin to rise, even without contemplating the Primal Dao Collection, this rise did not stop.

'Primal Dao Collection 07, I've comprehended it thoroughly.'

In the eyes of Zhou Bai (Twisted Shadow), countless mysterious patterns flowed freely; he could distinctly feel power roaring within his body, and the astral energy swarmed around him wildly.

The stone walls around crumbled inch by inch under invisible pressure; behind him, the Gui Hai Black Fiend revealed a deep abyss-like sheen, as if ready to suck in human souls.

Flesh and blood vibrated, bones changed, every cell in his body exploded with endless power, then madly devoured the surrounding astral energy, turning the entire cave into a gigantic astral funnel.

Black runes floated out from Zhou Bai's (Twisted Shadow's) body; his Tang Ruhai continuously strengthened, and the physical body seemed to break through some bottleneck, with Lazy Chart's enhancement of the physical body directly soaring.

With each breath, it seemed as if the entire earth trembled slightly.

The Twisted Shadow looked up towards the sky, but his view was blocked by the rock layer, so he struck out with his palm; pure physical strength unleashed like the main cannon of a battleship, shattering the air, tearing through rock layers, and flipping the earth.

Then he gently blew a breath, like a tornado howling, clearing away the dust and debris, revealing the overturned earth, and a clear bright sky.

… Zhou Bai's Dao transformation reached 62.4%

Within Zhou Bai's sea of consciousness, the Primordial Spirit shone brightly, with twelve beams of green light surging, sweeping across the entire sea of consciousness.

Zhou Bai could feel his Primordial Spirit swelling, growing stronger and more solid, not only with the hair, skin patterns, blood vessels, nerves on the Primordial Spirit being vividly detailed, like a real person, the surface of the Primordial Spirit also emitted a diamond-like brilliance.

Force like mountain calls and tsunami brewed within the Primordial Spirit; with a gentle thought, Zhou Bai had already put away the Primal Dao Collection 07, then the Twisted Shadow soared into the sky, tearing through Yun Kong, reaching mid-air in an instant.

With Wane Chart's enhancement of the Primordial Spirit also came a qualitative change, Zhou Bai felt as if his Primordial Spirit had truly become an almighty deity, with thoughts casually covering a radius of over a thousand meters, yet he knew this was far from his limit.

… Zhou Bai's Dao transformation reached 63.2%

The pollution within his body also surged, with originally clear and bright blood seeming to turn into filthy black mud.

The polluted shell underwent massive qualitative change, with the injury immunity limit directly soaring from 51% up to 61%.

With each breath, Zhou Bai seemed to smell the scent of the void.

With each blink, godly light surged from his eyes causing unrest and making hearts tremble, as he seemed able to perceive how the void affected the Material World.

Under Fool Chart's enhancement, he developed vast tolerance to mutations and distortions, with the burden of the Five Divine Skills on his body reduced, and his pollution limit increased.

Thus, the original pollution level changed from 132/140 to 121/150.

… Zhou Bai's Dao transformation reached 64.4%

The Twisted Shadow gazed toward the dark clouds tens of kilometers away, seemingly peering through time and space to see Xuan Nu struggling under the grip of Si Yi Celestial Monarch.

Under Poor Chart's enhancement, each star-point strengthened, the transmission of information, reflex speed, and explosiveness of flesh and blood were intensively fortified.

More runes symbolizing naked acceleration merged into Zhou Bai's body; sunlight, atmosphere, magnetic field, astral energy, gravity… everything seemed to drive his body, solely to make him faster.

Then in midair, the Twisted Shadow suddenly crouched down, with a loud boom of his feet stomping on the atmosphere, the furious Primordial Spirit force squeezed every trace of airflow.

Then it was seen that the whole Twisted Shadow shot forward like a black meteor, turning into a black line, slicing through the cloud layer, with the sweeping wind detonating countless cloud tufts, leaving behind scattered clouds.

… Zhou Bai's Dao transformation reached 64.9%

A gigantic black hand suddenly grasped Xuan Nu.

At this moment, Xuan Nu's entire body was like a fragmented doll, blood covered her cheeks, with countless tortured souls encircling around her.

Black vapor infiltrated her body, restricting the exertion of her abilities, her figure flickered in and out, unable to break free, looking like a butterfly trapped in a spider's web.

Xuan Nu let out a furious roar, her wings behind resisted against the black vapor.

"Such a disobedient little ghost." Si Yi Celestial Monarch snorted coldly.

Then the rotation of the black vapor appeared like hands grasping Xuan Nu's wings, then fiercely twisting and tearing.

Rip!

Ah!! Xuan Nu let out a miserable scream, looking at her torn-off flesh wings, her body struggled violently, wanting to escape.

But sensing her struggle, Si Yi Celestial Monarch sneered and said, "In my hands, life and death aren't up to you."

Crack crick!

Amid the crisp sound of bone and tendon separation, Xuan Nu's limbs twisted 180% underneath the black vapor, fully beginning to deform.

Xuan Nu groaned, as waves of black vapor filled her body, rushing towards her brain, her gaze gradually became disoriented.
