CHAPTER 1049: CHAPTER 1023 DIVINE DEMON NINE HEAVENS CHART

Splash—

Tangyu suddenly moved, stepping forward with a powerful kick, causing the surroundings to stir instantly. At this moment, Tangyu was like someone performing slow Tai Chi, his movements incredibly slow, yet bizarre and bewildering.

The ripping pain tormented Tangyu incessantly, but he remained devoted to his cultivation, bearing all the pain and even casting it aside, completely forgetting about it.

In this regard, Tangyu had a natural advantage. After all, he had cultivated the First Transformation of the "Undying Nine Transformations," which had already transformed his body. Coupled with Tangyu’s unwavering willpower and his many trials in the Shi Que Palace, he could fully endure this extreme pain. Anyone else might have crumbled long ago.

The more advanced the Divine Demon Body Tempering Dharma Gate, the more difficult it is to cultivate.

After such a long period of cultivation, Tangyu had become somewhat proficient with the foundational cultivation techniques and key points. Now, the only thing lacking was how to channel the power of all things in heaven and earth for his own use, using this immense divine power to infuse his body and achieve the goal of body tempering. This was also the most difficult aspect, determining whether one could truly cultivate the Divine Demon Body Tempering Dharma Gate. Controlling this vital entry point was the key to success.

Tangyu felt he had mastered the basic aspects of cultivation, and now had to attempt to draw the power of all things into his body to temper his form.

Biting his teeth, Tangyu performed a series of Hand Arts, communicating with heaven and earth with his mind, following the intentions in the depicted image. Immersing himself in this indescribably mystical state, he drew upon a formless power akin to the Great Dao of heaven and earth, which could not be explained with simple words.

To communicate with eternity through intention, to move all things in heaven and earth — what grandeur is this?

Naturally, it is exceedingly difficult to accomplish.

Nonetheless, Tangyu dared to face challenges, to defy the heavens, and was bold enough to attempt the seemingly impossible.

As his mind stirred, Tangyu seemed to hear the calls of all things, sensing their breath, an extraordinary feeling. Immersed in this sensation, subtle changes occurred within Tangyu’s body. The surroundings surged, energy converged from all directions, like rivers flowing into the sea. The power of all things in heaven and earth was fully aroused by Tangyu, seemingly causing all things to resonate together, forming a massive vortex-like center on Tangyu, surging like rivers into the sea.

This spectacular scene caught everyone’s attention, drawing their gazes toward Tangyu, wondering what was happening.

After exchanging looks, Wang Qiutian and the others were filled with joy, happy for Tangyu’s success.

"Truly worthy of Brother Tangyu, it seems he is defying the heavens, such a grand spectacle. It looks like he is to become the heir of the Moluo World, chosen by the Immortal Venerate of Moluo."

"Indeed, it’s truly defiant of the heavens. It seems we have hope now and can look forward to leaving. Never again would I dare to return to this cursed place."

Over on Liang Fengnian’s side, his expression turned dark and unpleasant, his mouth twitching violently, almost spitting blood from anger.

Meanwhile, Tangyu was immersed in an indescribably wonderful sensation, channeling the power of all things, allowing their power to flow into him, nurturing him like all things rejuvenating him. The benefits of this were immeasurably vast.

Buzz—

Suddenly, a surge of confidence entered Tangyu’s mind, and the chart flew directly to him, merging into his brow.

Startled by this unexpected change, Tangyu paused briefly, but soon felt a new image appear in his consciousness, residing firmly within him.

Despite his initial confusion, Tangyu felt a thrill in his heart, realizing that the chart had chosen him, wishing to remain with him — undoubtedly a good omen.

With this insight, Tangyu finally understood the purpose behind the Divine Demon Body Tempering Divine Power on the chart: "The ’Divine Demon Nine Heavens Chart,’ reputed to be the foremost Divine Demon Body Tempering Divine Power from ancient times, capable of cultivating to surpass the Immortal Realm. Regrettably, no one is known to have succeeded thus far. Remarkable, this is indeed the first Divine Demon Body Tempering Divine Power Dharma Gate of ancient times. It seems the Immortal Venerate of Moluo’s origins are truly profound, likely an unrivalled figure in ancient youth."

"This ’Divine Demon Nine Heavens Chart’ comprises nine layers, each reaching a successive heaven, all the way to the Nine Heavens above."

"I am merely at the beginning stage now, only touching the surface. Cultivating the first layer is still quite challenging. Since the Immortal Venerate of Moluo has set such a trial, he probably intends for me to cultivate the first layer before I can approach his presence?"

With these thoughts in mind, Tangyu continued his cultivation.

Being able to channel the power of all things is the foundation of cultivation. Once one has this foundation and enters through this gateway, cultivation naturally becomes much easier, a process akin to the proverbial ’water flowing naturally toward the sea.’

Rumble—

The power of all things in heaven and earth surged within Tangyu’s body like a tidal flood, fierce and tumultuous. If not controlled properly, it could even lead to Tangyu’s body exploding and his demise.

After all, this was the mysterious power of all things in the universe, inscrutable and vast, like the Great Dao of heaven and earth. Used well, it could achieve effects beyond the comprehension of gods and demons. Used poorly, it would be a path to self-destruction. This is the strength of the "Divine Demon Nine Heavens Chart," which, with its supreme cultivation technique, can skillfully invoke all things in the universe and make good use of their power for oneself.

Tangyu continued cultivating. This kind of body tempering cultivation was indeed too painful, an unending torment worse than death. It was far beyond heart-wrenching.

Tangyu gritted his teeth fiercely, his face twisted with rage, beads of blood even oozing from his skin.

Every inch of muscle seemed to be torn into tiny fragments, as if undergoing a thousand cuts. The physical pain was secondary; the most terrifying was the pain of the soul, the pain of willpower, which could not be described in words.

This pain was also a terrifying trial; anyone with slightly weaker willpower would absolutely die on the spot, unable to withstand such painful power.

Crack, crack!!!

Tangyu could distinctly feel the changes in his muscles and bones, undergoing a qualitative metamorphosis under the power of all things in heaven and earth. Through this slow transformation, Tangyu vividly felt as if his body were a material being forged into a weapon, similar to artifact refining.

Time flew by, and it was unclear how long had passed.

After one last burst of power, Tangyu stopped. The world finally returned to calm, and the power of all things withdrew, like a falling curtain of the ocean tide.

The space returned to tranquility, and everything resumed its slumber.

As Tangyu moved, he instantly felt a cheerful crackling sound, with strong power flowing throughout his body like a rushing river, giving him a very comfortable and pleasant feeling. This powerful sensation was simply too wonderful.

Moving his body casually was effortlessly easy. The once fearsome light restraints now felt like air before Tangyu, with little resistance.

At this moment, Tangyu could again walk forward freely. No matter how formidable the binding force, it could not stop him. With every motion, immense power surged forth.

Tangyu felt it, his face full of smiles, very satisfied and somewhat pleasantly surprised with this advancement: "So, this is the First Layer of the ’Divine Demon Nine Heavens Chart’. By realm division, I should be considered Divine Demon First Layer, right? To think that even the Divine Demon First Layer could possess such terrifying power. I feel that my body’s strength is at least ten times stronger. My strength has also increased by at least ten times."

The realm of Divine Demons is divided into nine layers, from Divine Demon First Layer to Ninth Layer. However, they correspond to the Golden Core Realm up to the Seeking Immortal Realm.

Above the Golden Core is the Zifu, and above the Zifu is the Seeking Immortal, each realm corresponding to three layers of the Divine Demons. Comparatively, the Divine Demons are slightly more formidable.

So purely in terms of body strength, Tangyu was now equivalent to the First Layer of the Golden Core Realm. The first, second, and third layers of the Golden Core Realm correspond to the early, middle, and late stages of the Divine Demon First Layer.

Tangyu was now considered in the early stage of the Divine Demon First Layer, which corresponds to the First Layer of the Golden Core Realm.

Thus, Tangyu’s strength instantly elevated to the Golden Core Realm. Combining Tangyu’s own strength, he could now even face someone at the second or even third layer of the Golden Core Realm without fear, possessing the power to battle.

Cultivating the "Divine Demon Nine Heavens Chart" indeed immensely increased Tangyu’s strength. Now, the "Undying Nine Transformations" had become a minor auxiliary, of course, providing further support in cultivating the "Divine Demon Nine Heavens Chart," besides which the "Undying Nine Transformations" also contained some powerful forces to enhance Tangyu’s strength.

These two Dharma Gates cultivated together could complement each other.

"The Divine Demon Body Tempering is indeed powerful, but the price paid is also truly significant, not something an average person could successfully cultivate." Tangyu pursed his lips, recalling these days of cultivation, which left Tangyu with lingering fear and a tingling scalp.

The extreme pain, just thinking about it, was enough to be terrifying.

However, now, it could be said that the bitter days are finally over.

Tangyu’s gaze turned towards the Moluo Immortal Venerate on the Jade Altar, and he stepped towards it. This time, there was naturally not much obstruction, with all restraining forces swept away by Tangyu as he advanced boldly, unstoppable.

Wang Qiutian and the others saw Tangyu advancing effortlessly and each of them cheered.

The most displeased was naturally Liang Fengnian, who almost spat a mouthful of old blood, his eyes cold and grim.
