This black fog was not just spiritual power. It also possessed a mysterious effect that could nourish the Physical Body and enhance one's Physique.

However, the black fog left by the True Dragon Soul Emperor was simply too powerful. It was as vast as the sea, far beyond what Su Han could endure.

Once the black fog entered his body, Su Han immediately felt as if he was being inflated to the point of bursting. His organs were wracked with intense pain, and his limbs expanded rapidly like balloons.

"This is unbearable!"

Su Han's face twisted, his features contorting fiercely. Veins bulged on his neck as he let out a pained, maddened howl.

Su Han had experienced the agony of Body Refining with Heavenly Thunder Liquid, Ice-Fire Tempering, and the Refinement of Spatial Force, but none of those pains compared to what he was suffering now. He felt as though every piece of flesh on his body was on the verge of exploding.

This pain didn't just affect his Physical Body; it assaulted his Spirit, creating an agony so intense he wished he could just lose consciousness right away.

But he couldn't pass out. Even amidst the acute pain, he had not forgotten the purpose of his journey!

Great Achievement of the Holy Body!

For this goal, no matter how intense the pain, he had to grit his teeth and persist. Otherwise, everything would be for naught—he would be unable to seek revenge or rescue his mentor.

Undying Dao Heart, Eternal Demonic Intent!

Devouring the black fog was far too painful, so Su Han decided to change his approach. He retracted his Heart Spirit back into his sea of consciousness and concentrated all the Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi around vital areas like his sea of consciousness and heart. The rest of his body was left to withstand the onslaught of the black fog.

BANG!

A section of Su Han's finger exploded into a mist of blood, leaving behind only a faint golden finger bone. This was a Great Luo Golden Bone that Su Han had tempered, shining brilliantly with an extraordinary, flowing charm.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Soon after, Su Han's other fingers also exploded one by one. Their flesh vanished, turning into a dense cloud of blood mist; only the Great Luo Golden Bones remained.

The energy of this black fog was too overwhelming. Even as Su Han's Physical Body neared the cusp of the Great Achievement of the Holy Body, it couldn't endure and was blasted apart, exploding into a mist of blood.

This spectacle was far from over. His palms exploded, followed by his arms, chest, and abdomen...

In the end, Su Han's entire body burst apart. As his lower half had not been tempered into Great Luo Golden Bones, it too exploded along with the flesh, becoming a deep red mist of blood. The thick scent of blood was so intense it was nauseating.

At that moment, Su Han's body was devoid of flesh, and his lower half was completely empty, with nothing remaining. Only the upper half of his body, composed of one hundred and twenty-eight Great Luo Golden Bones, still existed.

But the Dual Black Holes continued their devouring. More and more of the black fog was absorbed into him, yet less than a tenth of the seemingly abyssal expanse had been consumed.

Su Han felt he was close to death. Lacking blood, flesh, and even some of his bones—if this wasn't death, what was?

I cannot die! I must stay alive! My mentor is still sealed beneath Yaoguang Peak, waiting for me to save him! I have yet to avenge the wrongs committed by Qin Wushuang and Ye Chuanfeng; how can I let them roam free? Ning Feifan was taken by the Taiyin Demon Venerable, and his current situation is unknown. I must bring him back safely to the Ning Country! And Fairy Sister Yun Xian, I promised you I would come to find you. How can I break my word?

At this moment, only by clinging to his convictions could Su Han maintain a shred of clarity. This situation was too surreal; anyone with an unstable Dao Heart would have collapsed by now.

CRACK!

Suddenly, the sound of something fracturing rang out. Even the twice-refined Great Luo Golden Bones couldn't withstand the strain any longer. Cracks appeared, and then a piece of a Great Luo Golden Bone blasted apart, turning into golden bone fragments.

One after another, the Great Luo Golden Bones erupted violently, until the thick blood mist was tinged with a faint golden hue.

Su Han's body had exploded, but not completely.

His Divine Sense was still present. Eighty-one Divine Sense Stellars shone brilliantly, eternally indestructible, like a lantern in the night. Although not blazingly bright, it still brought light.

By this point, Su Han no longer knew what pain was; he had become completely numb. His entire being had undergone an explosion, a process more terrifying than death by a thousand cuts.

Meanwhile, the Dual Black Holes continued to devour everything. Su Han didn't know when it would end, nor could he control them. It seemed a mysterious force was at work.

Gradually, his consciousness became blurred. He was dazed and oblivious to the passage of time, unaware of the growth of all things.

After an unknown period, Su Han's consciousness gradually regained clarity. He was still just a Divine Sense, but something was slightly different.

Have I... transformed into a Black Hole?

Su Han sensed himself and found that he had merged with the Dual Black Holes. Now, he was the Dual Black Holes, and the Dual Black Holes were him.

Physique Perfection grants an Energy Physique. My Sacred Body is unique, having been formed by cultivating the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art. That must mean my Energy Physique is also related to the art. Perhaps my Energy Physique is the Black Hole Transformation!

Su Han completely regained his lucidity, simultaneously understanding the changes within himself.

With this thought, he began to operate the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art.

RUMBLE!

Instantly, a storm swept through the space. The majestic black mist from the True Dragon Soul Emperor surged back, whirling toward the Black Hole that Su Han had become like a great whale drawing in water.

That black mist was so vast that a mere tenth of it had been enough to make Su Han explode. But now that he had become a Black Hole without a physical form, the risk of his body exploding was gone.

WHOOSH!

The black mist, like a tornado, formed a rushing current that was rapidly devoured and refined by Su Han.

A miracle occurred!

Piece by piece, the Great Luo Golden Bones reassembled, shining brightly. They had undergone a third tempering, becoming even harder and more powerful.

Not only the Great Luo Golden Bones but the bones in Su Han's lower body also reformed, emitting a dazzling, gleaming radiance.

Then, strands of flesh began to extend from the bones, constructing meridians, muscles, and organs in the Void.

It was as though time itself was reversing. The damage from the explosion was gradually undone until, at last, even his skin and hair grew back, restoring his original appearance.

From the outside, Su Han looked no different than before. But having experienced his body's explosion and recovery, he had been completely and thoroughly reborn.

At that moment, his Physical Body was no longer purely one of flesh and blood but had undergone a mutation, evolving from a corporeal body into an Energy Physique.

The Sacred Body had at last achieved Great Accomplishment!

Su Han's Energy Physique was the Black Hole Transformation. It could devour all things, contain itself within, and was formless, elusive, and mysteriously peerless.

"Whew, the Great Accomplishment of the Sacred Body is finally complete!"

Su Han slowly opened his eyes. They were no longer a clear black and white but had turned completely black, like two profound Black Holes capable of devouring a person's Heart Spirit.

He had achieved the Great Achievement of the Holy Body, meeting his initial goal. Yet, Su Han did not end his cultivation. Half of the black mist from the True Dragon Soul Emperor still remained, and he continued to cultivate to stabilize his Sacred Body and grow stronger.

「While Su Han was in closed-door cultivation, the outside world was being thrown into turmoil because of him!」
