Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

For a moment, all was silent between heaven and earth.

Everyone’s gaze fell on the black-clothed youth who seemed to have suddenly appeared in the sky. The youth had delicate features and a slender build, extending a single hand with a finger outstretched.

A transparent arrow that pierced through the void stopped right before him, unable to advance.

Everything seemed frozen, like a still ink painting.

"Chen Ku!"

Suddenly, someone excitedly shouted the youth’s name.

It was Xu Fanfeng, one of the six sons of Yan Capital.

Soon after, all the trainees below were also excitedly and astonishingly shouting at the black-clothed youth who had suddenly appeared.

"Junior Brother Chen!"

"Junior Brother Chen returned from the Destruction Tower!!"

Even Zu Dengfeng and others who were trapped in the main hall by the large formation showed intense emotional fluctuations, looking at Chen Ku’s extended finger in disbelief:

"Is that? Has he learned it?"

The Vice Mountain Master Ying Yunqian, after his initial excitement, quickly turned pale and urgently said, "Chen Ku might not necessarily be the opponent of the Fire Virtue Sect’s true offspring! What if..."

His words made others in the hall change color as well.

Indeed.

It was actually fortunate that Chen Ku was not there; this top talent and best-qualified trainee of Divine Martial Mountain had coincidentally escaped this disaster.

This brought them some solace; even though many trainees were killed or injured, at least the greatest hope of the mountain was outside, and not all their eggs were in one basket.

Unexpectedly...

Chen Ku actually rushed back today.

Especially after most people had witnessed the outcome of the battle between Xue Bailiu and Xiao Li, they felt somewhat disheartened.

At this moment.

Above the sky.

Xue Bailiu looked at the suddenly appearing Chen Ku, both surprised and delighted, but soon, he nervously spoke to caution:

"Junior Brother Chen, be careful, that person is the Yuan Country’s Fire Virtue Sect true offspring, no weaker than Hua Yuexian in reality. Though what we face here is only a Divine Fire Avatar, not even I have any chance of winning."

Chen Ku heard these words.

Without turning his head, his finger continued to move forward.

It seemed like just an inch of distance.

As if pressing down the long passage of time, his fingertip eventually touched the arrow, followed by the sound akin to ’weathering’.

That arrow disintegrated into invisible powder.

"Are you the Divine Martial Mountain’s top genius ’Chen Ku’ that our intelligence regards as the one to watch out for?"

Xiao Li looked at the black-clothed youth who shattered his arrow with one finger, his brows furrowed, his gaze heavy on Chen Ku:

"If I guess correctly, you must have used some sort of ’space’ teleportation method to appear before them and block my arrow."

Chen Ku also looked directly at the youth cloaked in Heavenly Fire, without denying.

Indeed, he had spoken much at the Destruction Tower to finally secure the approval of the Tower Master and the elders to return to Divine Martial Mountain, only to find this scene upon arrival from the Martial Temple of Famen County.

At the critical moment, he immediately deployed the Drought God Air Domain, teleporting several miles through the void, placing himself before everyone.

"Was that the Forbidden Technique Finger of the Destruction Tower you just used?"

Xiao Li squinted at Chen Ku’s fingertips, suddenly laughing:

"Famous indeed, worthy of six-star praise, allowing you, a mere Tenth Realm Martial Practitioner, to block Xiao’s Twelfth Realm arrow. Then... let Xiao see how many times you can use this forbidden technique with your martial cultivation!"

As he spoke.

[With Xiao Li’s Divine Fire avatar intending harm to the master, slaying him could yield a path of Twelfth Realm Evil Qi]

Xiao swiftly acted, holding the Vermilion Bird Coiling Dragon Great Bow, an unimaginable scene occurred in a breath; around his arms appeared more than a dozen fiery red arms, rapidly drawing the bow...

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!...

In the blink of an eye, every hand swiftly drew the bow several times, while dozens of hands pulling simultaneously created a torrent of meteor fire rain covering Chen Ku!

Whoo-whoo!! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The sky echoed with the piercing sounds of arrows slicing through the air.

"Everyone else, leave quickly!"

At the very moment Xiao Li exhaled with power, Xue Bailiu sensed something amiss, and as the rain of arrows flooded the sky, he swiftly waved his oversized sleeve.

Almost in substance, the Martial Arts True Essence wrapped around all his fellow disciples like silk, rapidly retreating downward.

Chen Ku simultaneously reacted instantly, knowing full well that his Forbidden Technique wouldn’t hold the rain of arrows before him. He conjured an immortal weapon in his hand.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!!

He spun the ’Immortal Treasure Kun Bone Stick’, rapidly swinging it to clash with the endless shower of arrows, producing crisp sounds.

But behind the whirling stick flowers, Chen Ku’s pupils slightly contracted.

"Such powerful arrows..."

Seeing his Immortal Treasure Kun Bone Stick struck by arrows, he noticed dense cracks appearing on the weapon at the immortal weapon level.

This stunned him, finding it hard to imagine the quality of the great bow in Xiao Li’s hands, capable of firing arrows that could chip an immortal-tier staff.

Immediately realizing the stick flowers couldn’t hold much longer.

In an instant, his figure flashed away, appearing several dozen meters away.

However,

Xiao Li, with dozens of arms pulling the bow at once, didn’t care, slightly adjusted his aim, and once more aimed a torrent of arrows as water rushing forward.

But.

Chen Ku had already put the great stick aside, instead extending a hand toward Xiao Li, summoning a fiery red Fusang Tree to the sky.

Branches and chains extended from the Fusang Tree, its leaves dancing.

Immediately.

The meteor fire rain-like arrows seemed drawn by some mysterious force, aiming directly at the Fusang Tree.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

In an instant, hundreds of arrows hit the Fusang Tree, but unlike before, the arrows didn’t pierce through; instead, they seemed to melt into the tree.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Li’s eyes slightly changed, his rapid bow-drawing hand pausing momentarily, and then he understood the nature of the Fusang Tree, shocked:

"It’s actually composed of a Cave Heaven world’s flame principle, you Martial Practitioner... actually..."

Principle?

Isn’t that something Qi Cultivators can only touch upon reaching Thirteenth Realm, yet it’s in the hands of a Martial Practitioner?

Nevertheless, Chen Ku didn’t give Xiao Li any more chances.

After transforming the Fusang Fire Principle, he took a step, space rippling behind him, disappearing from the original location.

Reappearing.

Already above Xiao Li’s head by a hundred meters, arm under a billowing sleeve, suddenly raising, five fingers spread, striking down at Xiao Li’s forehead.

Under the five fingers, Chen Ku’s full mighty force after mastering the Chaos Sky Technique turned the Yin Yang of heaven and earth, empowering all Incarnation forces from the Transformation Diagram, culminating into a vast white jade hand.

It was Chen Ku’s Scattered Palm Heavenly Hand!

Boom~~

This palm strike descended, plunging half of the sky over Divine Martial Mountain into darkness, leaving only the shadow of Chen Ku’s palm, covering all.

Thunderous roar~~

Under this palm even the trainees of Divine Martial Mountain felt as if their bodies were uncontrollably drawn towards Chen Ku’s hand.

Not to mention Xiao Li himself.

The space around Xiao Li twisted, tugging at him.

He looked incredulously at Chen Ku’s hand coming down:

"Is this a palm strike a Tenth Realm Martial Practitioner can execute?!"

Even the Eleventh Realm lacks this level of power!

His Twelfth Realm Divine Fire Avatar felt the immense pressure.
