Chapter 631: Chapter 367: Black Mountain’s Transformation

“What is this?”

Looking at Da Kun which had undergone a transformation under the enhancement of his physique traits, Feng Qing’an was taken aback.

It was not surprising for one to make significant progress in strength under the reinforcement of his physique traits and it was normal that it gained a completely new power.

Because this was the change that was supposed to happen. However, the difference with Da Kun was that its life form had changed. This was somewhat extraordinary.

Its originally broad fins, initially only showed golden scale-like patterns, but eventually a dazzling golden flare like Divine Gold took shape. It was as if feathers were growing on it.

Being the huge fish that lives deep in the sea, its fins were actually transforming into wings, leaping from the ocean, morphing into the Peng bird that soared in the sky.

“Kunpeng?!”

Feng Qing’an didn’t expect the physique traits he bestowed could cause such a transformation. This delighted him, surprised him, but he mostly felt anticipation.

Oooh~

Woosh——

Da Kun’s spirited and prolonged call gradually became sharper due to the transformation.

In the area where the sound echoed, within a radius of thousands of miles, all the water clan creatures swimming in the ocean began frantically to flee. This was fear stemmed from their bloodline, it was the instinct to survive.

Woosh——

As the golden feathers grew from the fins, or perhaps the wings, lifted out of the sea, innumerable seawater instantly turned into waterfalls, pouring down from the sky, crashing into the ocean, raising gigantic terrifying waves, agitating the sea.

From the deep sea, the dark mountain began to rise, ascending towards the high clouds. The multitude of dragon sharks surrounding Da Kun, witnessing this scene, were immediately left stunned.

Panic, helplessness, and even fear gradually arose because the scene before them was beyond comprehension.

As part of the water clan, even though they possessed the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, when they saw the golden feathers growing on Da Kun, a strong, inexplicable sense of fear and unease arose in their hearts.

Roar——

Purple lightning flickered across the sky, grey-black tribulation cloud appeared out of nowhere, causing all creatures to fall silent, feeling terribly oppressed.

The giant Da Kun that had ascended the sky felt the terrifying oppressive force from the inexhaustible heavenly power above. Its colossal figure halted abruptly as if pondering something, then, as if it had made up its mind, it flapped its wings, which used to be its fins, and braced itself for the imminent heavenly tribulation.

“Damn, is this some kind of a mistake?!”

Seeing the rapidly emerging dark tribulation clouds, Feng Qing’an couldn’t help swearing.

Because the tribulation cloud was expanding at a terrifying and exaggerated speed towards the surrounding seas, as if it wanted to turn this vast ocean into eternal darkness, it wanted to transform everything here into a world of thunderbolts.

The target of this heavenly tribulation was none other than the giant Da Kun, slowly cruising in the air. The divine golden patterns were spreading across its black body.

Even though it had been only a short while, Feng Qing’an had roughly figured it out. The core reason Da Kun underwent such a transformation was due to the potential already present in its body.

The physique traits Feng Qing’an bestowed on it was like a key unlocking an age-old door, instantly releasing the divine potential hidden within its body.

Of course, in simpler terms, Feng Qing’an initially bestowed it with a spiritual nature. The physique traits that he later added fulfilled a part that was missing in Da Kun, enabling its bloodline to elevate, getting closer to the source of the bloodline, reverting to its ancestry.

“Just purification of the bloodline and it needs to be struck by lightning?”

Of course, Feng Qing’an could not accept that such a transformation would require the refinement of heavenly lightning. He took another look.

Da Kun’s spiritual power remained at the level of demon king, it didn’t increase nor decrease. It hadn’t reached the pinnacle and did not touch the barrier of the realm.

Such a level should not have triggered a heavenly tribulation. Hence, the only reasonable explanation was because Da Kun’s transformation this time was far too thorough, so much so that its life essence needed to transform.

This act was too defiant of the natural order, violating the principles of Heavenly Dao. Thus, it triggered a thunderbolt, bringing down divine punishment. If one were to withstand the test, the one could continue to approach the source of the bloodline. If one could not withstand the test of the thunderbolt, the outcome would naturally be reducing to ash.

“I say, can you withstand it?”

Feng Qing’an at this moment could not relax at all as he had to maintain the edge of his physique traits to ensure that Da Kun could continue benefiting from the blessing of the Conquering Heavenly God.

If he were to retract his prowess right now, Da Kun would be obliterated by the heavenly thunderbolt in an instant. Once the heavenly tribulation manifests, it would not dissipate easily.

Woosh——

A high pitched yet melodious call reverberated in the air. It was hard to tell if it was the roar of a colossal beast or the cry of some ancient predatory bird, but the meaning it conveyed was very clear.

I’m perfectly fine, don’t you worry!

Upon learning from the Soul Contract what this yet-mature creature intended to convey, Feng Qing’an was utterly speechless.

It was clear that the physique traits he had bestowed puffed up its mentality, causing it to feel invincible. This kind of mental state usually arose when one has broken through a long-standing barrier, when one’s power surged drastically, to the point where one could not ascertain one’s position in the sense of one’s self-worth.
