Chapter 522: Chapter 512: Divine Weapon, Precious Saber?

Kong Ni cultivated the Power Dao, a purely unadulterated power that was nearly tyrannically overbearing. Yi Zheng felt the numerous bloodlines he had absorbed within his body being squashed into a mass under the oppression of this formidable power, obediently following Yi Zheng’s commands as they lined up, one by one, to merge into the Sacrificial Refining Fire…

What seemed random was actually full of mysteries. Yi Zheng had fused skills countless times before, each fusion taking at least a month, and sometimes up to half a year. His extensive time and experimentation had led him to sum up countless experiences.

Although these Cultivation Techniques were more complex and challenging, Yi Zheng would usually need to spend a great deal of time analyzing and summarizing them before making repeated attempts to practice them.

But at this moment, Yi Zheng didn’t need to do that because Kong Ni’s words had enlightened him. He had to forsake all the fancy tricks and crush these Cultivation Techniques, Divine Skills, skills, and bloodlines completely, transforming them into the most primal Dao to integrate into the Absorption Star Technique!

Yi Zheng was all too familiar with the Absorption Star Technique, so controlling it was incredibly easy!

The level of the Absorption Star Technique itself was not high, but it contained the essence of the Swallowing Dao. Although it was very superficial, to the point where not even a single Rune could be condensed, just that tiny spark vigorously grew under the nourishment of the complete Dao Rune forged from the power of Dao, swiftly growing stronger!

One percent of a Swallowing Rune,

Ten percent of a Swallowing Rune,

One third of a Swallowing Rune,

After Yi Zheng had nourished the power of Dao with eighteen complete Runes, finally, a complete Rune appeared!

Boom!

With a loud noise, a huge and bizarre Rune stood in the air within Yi Zheng’s Sea of Consciousness. The Rune itself evolved into a massive black hole that swallowed the sun, stars, and little black holes that had hung in the Sea of Consciousness.

Yi Zheng’s soul sat right in the middle of the black hole, with that huge Rune hanging over his head, devouring everything around it!

At the same time, Yi Zheng felt that condensing a Swallowing Dao Rune was already the limit of his current Realm, just like a balloon full of water, risking bursting if more was to be poured in.

Yi Zheng understood the principle of moderation and was about to stop the refining process immediately.

It was at this moment that Kong Ni’s voice came through: “Rabbit, don’t stop, continue training! Now’s the time to refine them back into the power of Dao, otherwise once they become integrated with your body and soul it will be significantly more difficult to refine them again in the future!

As for the power of Dao that has been refined, I will help you compress it into Elixir Pills, which you can extract at any time to nourish the Dao Runes!”

Upon hearing Kong Ni’s words, Yi Zheng’s heart leaped with joy; the only displeasure was from the pain in his face!

He couldn’t help but shout, “Master, if you have something to say, say it; do you have to slap me?”

Kong Ni replied very straightforwardly: “Not slap you? If I don’t, out of envy, I might just kill you. Jealousy and hatred, oh! If I had your opportunities back in the day, damn it, I would have dared to challenge the Jade Emperor!”

After saying that, Kong Ni gave Yi Zheng another slap.

Yi Zheng felt so frustrated, but he had nothing to say in return.

His opportunity came from one of the earliest Innate Demon Gods that emerged between heaven and earth, crafting a portion of Elixir Pills from the first day of creation to now. Although it was perhaps only one in a million of all the Elixirs, it was still an extremely vast amount.

Any single one of these Elixir Pills would be a tremendous opportunity for others, yet they all went to him!

What kind of opportunity was this?

Therefore, he accepted these few slaps!

As Kong Ni made his move, those Cultivation Techniques, bloodlines, and other forces were abruptly crushed by a barbaric force with a bang. The exploding power was still constrained by the barbaric force within a palm’s breadth, miraculously squeezing these skills, Cultivation Techniques, and Bloodline Power back into their most original form — the power of Dao!

This process was countless times faster than the speed at which Yi Zheng refined them with the Sacrificial Refining Fire!

“This guy, he’s really a freak…” Yi Zheng marveled inwardly.

However, an even more bizarre scene unfolded. The powerful hand shone, flickering with Runes of the Power Dao; then the ruthless hand forcibly squeezed the power of Dao in its palm into a ball, continuously compressing it until it was directly shaped into a pitch-black Elixir Pill!

“It’s done!” With a loud shout from Kong Ni, the hand dispersed, and a pitch-black Elixir Pill flew next to Yi Zheng’s soul, slowly rotating around him, while strands of the power of Dao dispersed, nourishing the Swallowing Rune.

Kong Ni’s voice came again, accompanied by severe pain on the face: “Rabbit, although the Swallowing Dao is defying and bizarre, this Dao is not easy to tread.

First off, it’s hidden among countless Daos and is extremely elusive; not to mention understanding it, it would be very difficult for you to even find it among the myriad Daos of All Heavens.

Furthermore, even if you find it, the Runes on it are abstruse and difficult to comprehend. To grasp a single Rune is a thousand, no, ten thousand times more difficult than with other Daos, as hard as reaching the sky.

Of course, you can take shortcuts and look for Cultivation Techniques, Treasures, and so forth that contain Swallowing Dao Runes to digest.

As long as there’s a spark of the Swallowing Dao, you can use the power of Dao to nurture it into a complete Rune.

However, in the world, the skills, Cultivation Techniques, Divine Skills, and Bloodlines that contain the Swallowing Dao are few, so the journey remains difficult.

Besides…”

Kong Ni raised his large palm, ready to continue the spanking, when he saw the rabbit before him open its eyes and stare at him indignantly, “What else is there?”

“Besides, it’s time to eat,” Kong Ni finished, gave an embarrassed slap to Zi Zhuang, who was watching the fun nearby, and floated away.

Yi Zheng glared at Kong Ni’s retreating figure, roaring, “As expected, you said all that just to sneak in a few more slaps on me!”

Kong Ni chuckled slyly and vanished on the spot.

Zi Zhuang, a martial artist, had a swollen right cheek as high as a hill. Looking at the rabbit with cheeks slapped puffy like steamed buns, he cracked a smile and said, “Little Junior Brother, you came late and don’t know Master’s temper. That’s just how he is. Anyway, glad you’re okay, haha…”

Initially, Yi Zheng did not accept this senior brother.

But after this incident and seeing Zi Zhuang’s concern for him, Yi Zheng acknowledged him.

Though this senior brother’s way of thinking was simple, simple people were often much easier to get along with than complicated ones.

“Zi Zhuang, let’s go, time for dinner! Rabbit, you haven’t finished your chores for the day, no food for you!” Kong Ni’s voice came from the distance.

Zi Zhuang responded with an “Oh” and then looked sympathetically at Yi Zheng. He whispered, “I’ll sneak you a large portion later.”

Then, Zi Zhuang stuffed a secret manual into Yi Zheng’s hands before scurrying away cheerfully.

Watching Zi Zhuang’s receding figure, Yi Zheng smiled and then slowly lowered his head to look at the secret manual, his head instantly throbbing with bewilderment, “This… I wouldn’t dare to practice it!”

Casually keeping the secret manual, Yi Zheng walked towards the bamboo forest behind him.

“I don’t believe that a mere bamboo can stump me!” Yi Zheng picked up the broken sword and hacked at the bamboo…

However, this time, the broken sword cut through as easily as slicing through tofu, and the bamboo fell accordingly!

Yi Zheng was stunned, “This… it’s that simple?”

Yi Zheng looked at the sword in his hand, his heart fluttering, “Could it be my lucky day? Did I stumble into a novel’s plotline? Is this seemingly worthless thing that was lying at the bottom of the arsenal actually a divine weapon?”

Yi Zheng excitedly stroked the broken sword in his hand, only to hear a crack, and the broken sword snapped into several pieces!

The excitement on Yi Zheng’s face instantly froze as he gently pinched the handle, and the sword crumbled on the spot…

“Dammit, it really is a broken sword!” Yi Zheng cursed before looking towards the bamboo again, “If it’s not the sword’s fault, could it be mine?”

After speaking, he hugged the bamboo and broke it with a twist, “Crack!” the bamboo snapped in response.

Yi Zheng stared in astonishment at the piece of bamboo in his hands, “What… what’s going on here? Could this one be the runt of the bamboo litter?”

Yi Zheng turned and tried his strength on a few other bamboos, only to find that the bamboos he couldn’t budge before now snapped effortlessly in his hands, like strands of noodles.

Yi Zheng quickly checked his own attributes, and was straightaway dumbstruck!

There were no changes in his name, but there was a change in the race category.

Originally, it only had the word “rabbit,” now there was an additional line of text: Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, Kuiniu, Baize, Xiang Liu…

That string of characters seemed endless at a glance, and at the very end, four big conspicuous characters were especially eye-catching: Click to view more!

Yi Zheng mouthed, “What the heck… how come I’m a dragon now?”

After speaking, Yi Zheng felt a burning sensation deep inside him, followed by an itch on his head and behind. Reaching up to his head, he was amazed to find a pair of dragon horns!

Then, touching his rear, the once-curled short tail was now long and covered with white scales!

Yi Zheng had turned into a unique creature with the body of a rabbit, covered with white dragon scales underneath its fur, complete with a dragon tail and dragon horns!

Yi Zheng waved his hand, and an ice mirror appeared in front of him. Looking at his reflection, Yi Zheng turned around a few times, muttering to himself, “Pretty dashing! I wonder what that Phoenix transformation is like…”

The next moment, another acupoint in Yi Zheng’s body heated up, and it was as if he could hear the call of a Phoenix in his mind. Then flames started to burn on his skin, and just when Yi Zheng thought he was about to transform into a magnificent Phoenix, a pair of palm-sized, fleshy little wings sprouted on his back. With a thought, they fluttered twice, and he jumped up a meter high…

Yi Zheng looked at the pair of fleshy wings with disdain, “Not a single feather on them, huh?”

Then, looking at the flames on his wings, Yi Zheng felt the urge to sprinkle some cumin on them.

Next, Yi Zheng thought of the Qilin, and soon he had Qilin’s hooves and scales. The dragon scales intertwined with the Qilin scales, and the white fur mixed with the ruddy Phoenix feathers, creating an odd-looking amalgamation.

“This is just too ugly, I wonder how to retract these transformations.” The thought of retracting those external changes had barely crossed Yi Zheng’s mind when the Qilin hooves, dragon scales, dragon tail, and Phoenix wings vanished.

Yi Zheng realized that although he had crushed all his Bloodline Power into Power of Dao, that was just the part of the Bloodline Power related to Cultivation Techniques and Heavenly Dao. The elements of the Bloodline that affected the physical body had integrated with Yi Zheng’s own body.
