Chapter 563 The Creation of the Four Seasons
Inside the cave, the earth-shaking and vast energy gathered together, and then the four-colored light dissipated, revealing Aji, whose form had changed drastically.
"Snap, snap!"
As his bones cracked, Aji slowly raised his head, revealing his noble amber pupils.
Its posture is calm and elegant, its fur is fluffy like clouds, and the down on its head and back is jet black, giving off a subtle black crystal quality.
The downy hair on its cheeks, chest, limbs, and paws is pure white and flawless, like freshly fallen snow.
"tread!"
"tread!"
"tread!"
Aji took a step forward, heading towards Chen Beiwu. Under his feet, four colors of light—blue, red, white, and gold—flowed around him, like the changing seasons, containing the four profound meanings of spring's birth, summer's prosperity, autumn's withering, and winter's extinction, exuding a transcendent feeling that surpasses the passage of time.
It's finally done!
Sensing the immense feedback from the Covenant, Chen Beiwu did not immediately refine it. Instead, he suppressed the surging Primordial True Essence within his body and probed Aji with his divine sense.
"Roar!" "Woof!" "Hey!" "Eek!"
The four little guys, Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling, also had a slight change in their eyes, sensing an unparalleled aura emanating from Aji.
But at that moment, thunder exploded, and the tribulation clouds above Shuiyan Residence surged, transforming into a giant thunderous eye that stretched across the heavens and earth.
"This is?"
The golden egg raised its three heads, staring blankly at the giant thunderous eye within the crack in the sky, its expression one of astonishment.
Having cultivated for so long, it has survived numerous tribulations and even once used the Three-Phase Furnace Mystic Power to devour the Heavenly Tribulation of a Demon King. Yet, before this giant thunderous eye, the golden egg actually developed a sense of its own insignificance, like dust.
Could this be the Heavenly Tribulation of the Forty-Nine Venerables?
Tie Dan let out a low growl, ready to strike at any moment.
Who cares what kind of tribulation it is!
Schiller formed a hand seal, and five-colored mysterious light flowed behind him.
It was well aware that Aji's breakthrough this time could not be lost. Even if rashly interfering would be affected by the Heavenly Tribulation, Schiller would still use the Five Transformations Mysterious Power to help.
Zhiling's pupils contracted slightly as she recognized what kind of lightning tribulation this was.
"The Purple Heaven is cracked, and the Heavenly Eye descends. This is the Purple Heaven Tribulation of the Forty-Nine Heavens recorded in the ancient books of the Immortal Alliance."
Outside Qingming Peak, the Mountain-Moving True Lord spoke solemnly.
"Such a heavenly calamity!"
Upon hearing this, a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch couldn't help but take a deep breath, his mind reeling.
The reason is simple: the Heavenly Tribulation of the Forty-Nine Purple Palaces rarely descends upon the world. Even a Demon King of the Fourth Realm who breaks through to the Fifth Realm Demon Venerable may not be able to trigger such a heavenly tribulation, which shows its immense power.
"Lord Yue, what do you mean?"
One of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs understood the key point and suddenly spoke up.
"A Creation Beast!" True Lord Moving Mountains said in a deep voice.
Aside from the Creation Beast, he couldn't think of any other fourth-realm demon king who could trigger the Four-Nine Purple Heavenly Punishment Tribulation when advancing to the Perfect Demon King stage.
Su Miao Zhenjun also keenly noticed this and probed Qingming Peak with her divine sense.
Such a rare creature is so precious that even a True Immortal would be tempted to possess it.
Even though Su Miao is a fourth-tier high-grade Xuan Array Master and comes from the Wuding Su family, a true noble clan, she still doesn't have the opportunity to contract a Creation Yuan Beast. She can only contract a fifth-tier water and wood dual-attribute Yuan Beast called [Nixia Shenchi].
Not only Su Miao, but all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs present reacted differently upon hearing about the Creation Beast. Some were shocked, some were greedy, some were envious, and some were jealous. However, they all had the same thought in mind.
Chen Beiwu is a man you cannot afford to offend!
With the help of the Creation Beast, and given Chen Beiwu's aptitude as True Martial Lord, his probability of becoming a True God in the future far exceeds that of some of the high-ranking members of the Immortal Alliance who are praised for their potential as True Gods.
"Boom!"
At the same time, the Purple Heavenly Eye erupted with divine light, unleashing a dazzling purple lightning bolt.
This lightning bolt was terrifyingly powerful, enough to instantly kill a Perfected Demon King.
But Aji remained calm, his eyes meeting the towering thunder without flinching.
While the Purple Heavenly Punishment is indeed powerful, it did not reach the fifth realm of Demon Lord this time, but rather the perfected Demon King realm. As a result, the power of the Purple Heavenly Punishment is limited, far less than one-tenth of what is recorded in ancient texts.
With this thought in mind, Aji activated the newly awakened Four Seasons Mystic Power within his body and struck the giant eye in the sky with a palm.
【Mysterious Connection】: Springtime Sprouting and Generating 【Attributes】: Yin and Yang (Four Seasons)
【Rank】：Fifth-Order Creation Yuan Technique 【Introduction】：Spring Yang governs life, is the life of heaven and earth, and is also the gentleness of Qian Yang. Activating this profound power can make plants sprout, withered trees come back to life, and obtain the vitality of spring. Injuries can be fully restored. Spring Yang can also generate life, and time can turn into rain, causing the lifespan of creatures that touch the raindrops to flow away rapidly and disappear into time.
As Aji struck down with his palm, the celestial phenomena changed abruptly, giving rise to spring rain that enveloped the Shuiyanju Cave.
The unstoppable purple lightning touched the Rain of Time, its power greatly diminished, and then, under the watchful eyes of many Nascent Soul True Monarchs, it gradually withdrew its sharpness, turning into wisps of green smoke and dissipating into nothingness.
This is precisely the domineering power of the spring sun's growth and profound understanding; it can use the power of spring to manipulate the rain of time, thereby influencing the power of time that even a True Immortal of the Divine Transformation realm finds difficult to control.
"This—this is the power of time?"
The usually calm and collected Mountain-Moving True Lord was suddenly moved.
The reason is simple: in the eyes of the Mountain Moving True Lord, there are very few Creation Beasts that can influence the power of time at the level of a Fourth Realm Demon King, let alone directly confront the Purple Heavenly Punishment with the power of time.
To accomplish such a feat, could the Tongcan Beast under Chen Beiwu's command, which is currently undergoing a breakthrough, be the legendary Hunyuan Dao Beast?
"Buzz!"
Just then, a golden light streaked across the sky, revealing the sect leader's decree and radiating a magnificent will.
"What happens today is a top secret of Yuqing, and must not be divulged. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"
Sensing the unwavering resolve of this will, Su Miao Zhenjun's expression hardened, realizing the seriousness of the matter.
"!!!"
Although not all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs present could see through the intricacies of the matter like Yue Shan and Su Miao, they all knew what the appearance of the Jade Purity Sect Leader's edict meant, and their expressions immediately became serious.
On the other side, inside the Shuiyan Residence.
Tie Dan sensed a familiar power and instinctively looked at Chen Beiwu.
This power of time is quite similar to the Creation Element Technique [Stabilizing Time] awakened by the vertical eye on its forehead, but there are also some essential differences.
With a thought, Chen Beiwu shared the information about the Spring Sun's Growth Mystic Power with Tie Dan and the others.
"hiss!"
-
The golden egg stared wide-eyed at the dragon, and all three dragon heads gasped in unison.
The Creation Technique seems rather ordinary at first glance, somewhat similar to Schiller's Five Qi Transformation Technique, but the latter half of the description is truly outrageous, even affecting lifespan.
Especially for cultivators of the Immortal Alliance who pursue longevity and seek great freedom and unrestrained life, this Creation Yuan Technique possesses an extremely terrifying deterrent power.
Unless absolutely necessary, few cultivators would be willing to risk losing a significant amount of their lifespan to fight Aji.
Conversely, if the battle is intense, this Creation Yuan Technique may cause the opponent to fight to the death due to the loss of too much lifespan, or even try to take Aji down with them.
Since this Creation Technique can shorten lifespan, can it also extend it?
Tie Dan's eyes lit up, and he used his divine sense to ask about the matter he cared about most.
The lifespan of humans differs greatly from that of demons and beasts, even among cultivators who have embarked on the path of cultivation.
He who does not plan for the future is not fit to plan for the present. In Tie Dan’s view, if this Creation Yuan Technique can prolong the master’s life, then it is an unparalleled divine power!
"No." Chen Beiwu shook his head slightly.
The Creation Yuan Technique gained through sudden enlightenment and the Creation Yuan Technique awakened through bloodline inheritance are two completely different concepts.
The former refers to a cultivator's understanding of the Great Dao of cultivation, which can improve profound understanding and be used to teach others by analogy.
The latter, on the other hand, is a bloodline instinct, knowing how but not why, and can only exert a fraction of the power of the Creation Yuan Technique.
Otherwise, the Lingxiao Blade Intent that Chen Beiwu possessed would not have been called a Nascent Soul Transformation technique, which involves the True Venerable realm.
"Oh dear!" (What a pity!)
A look of regret flashed in Zhiling's eyes.
Chen Beiwu smiled calmly, unconcerned.
Aji is currently able to master the profound power of spring sunshine, and as his cultivation level increases in the future, he may well awaken an even more powerful profound power of the four seasons.
"Boom!" A thunderous roar erupted.
In response to Aji's provocation, another bolt of purple lightning, carrying overwhelming heavenly might, struck down fiercely, its power far surpassing that of the previous bolt.
Just then, Aji's eyes shone with dazzling light, and the power of the four seasons within him awakened further.
【Mysterious Connection】: Summer Sunshine, Crimson Brightness 【Attribute】: Yin and Yang (Four Seasons)
【Rank】: Fifth-Order Creation Yuan Technique 【Description】: Xia is the ruler of the Red Brightness, where all things flourish. It draws upon the power of heaven and earth and can be the yang energy of Qian.
Activating this profound power can manifest the Radiant Yang Flowing Ring to bless the body, igniting the summer sun's crimson fire, causing the flow of time within the ring to alternate between fast and slow. However, it can easily cause oscillations in time, harming oneself.
Upon sensing this information, Chen Beiwu's mind stirred, and his eyes shone even brighter.
Although the Golden Egg's Great Evolution True Mystery can influence the enemy's perception of time through illusion, achieving the terrifying effect of a moment in reality being a hundred years in the illusion, it can even assist one's own cultivation, achieving the enlightenment enhancement effect of six days of cultivation in the illusion being only one day in reality.
But illusion is still illusion!
When facing an opponent with a weak spiritual realm, the Golden Egg can manipulate them at will using the Great Evolution True Profound Power.
However, when facing a Nascent Soul True Monarch with a powerful realm and a supreme treasure for soul defense, the Great Evolution True Essence can only play a very limited role.
Xia Yang Chiming is different; he can directly alter the flow of time within the Shuoyang Flowing Ring, catching powerful enemies off guard, causing them to lose their familiar fighting rhythm, and thus their combat power to plummet, making them vulnerable to attack.
Xia Yang Chiming alone is this powerful; if we add the Great Evolution True Profound Power of the Golden Egg—
Thinking of the powerful effect of these two profound techniques combined, Chen Beiwu's eyes deepened, and a sense of anticipation rose in his heart.
The Grand Cave Competition is about to begin, and I wonder which unlucky soul will be qualified to withstand this supermodel-level combination of profound power!
As for the dazzling lightning falling from the sky, Chen Beiwu showed no worry whatsoever.
As expected, Aji was too lazy to move, standing still and letting the vast thunder engulf him.
Rumble!
In an instant, the lightning dissipated, revealing Aji completely unharmed.
【Mystic Path】: Autumn Killing Wind 【Attribute】: Yin and Yang (Four Seasons)
【Rank】: Fifth-Order Creation Yuan Technique 【Description】: Autumn is dominated by Yin and killing, all things wither and fall. It can take the killing intent of heaven and earth and become the Yin strength of Kun.
Activating this profound power can manifest the withering autumn wind, which is associated with death and can cause all living things in the world to wither and disappear into the world in an instant.
Chen Beiwu's expression showed slight delight.
As the saying goes, the shorter the introduction, the more powerful the effect!
Although this Autumn Killing Wind cannot accelerate time or shorten the lifespan of living beings, it possesses a terrifying killing power that even Nascent Soul True Monarchs fear. Its power is immeasurable, and it can even kill instantly with Purple Heavenly Thunder.
Therefore, it is evident that cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage who are directly hit by the Autumn Killing Yin Wind are almost certain to die.
However, this profound power is too violent and should not be used for sparring. Otherwise, a slight mistake could send the opponent into the cycle of reincarnation and create a deadly enmity.
boom!
boom!
boom!
As time passed, the purple Heavenly Eye that appeared in the sky grew fainter and fainter, signaling that the tribulation was about to end.
But Aji was getting impatient. It looked up at the giant eye, and the autumn wind began to rise behind it, gradually sweeping across the sky.
Zi Chentian's pupils flickered slightly before disappearing under the sweeping autumn wind. The tribulation clouds gathering in the sky also surged violently, unleashing their final power.
Dense purple lightning bolts pierced through the space, turning the entire world into a cage of lightning.
Inside the cage was Aji, who was caught off guard and whose body was pierced by countless bolts of lightning.
Upon seeing this tragic scene, Jin Dan's eyelids twitched, revealing a look of worry.
Schiller then directly used the Five Transformations Mystic Power to try and heal Aji.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Aji lowered his head slightly, the light in his eyes dimming.
【Mysterious Connection】: Winter's Hibernation in an Instant 【Attribute】: Yin and Yang (Four Seasons)
【Rank】: Fifth-Order Creation Yuan Technique 【Description】: Winter is the time of profound essence, when all things return to their dormancy. It takes the extreme of heaven and earth and can be the beginning of Yin.
Activating this profound power can seal off the surrounding space and reduce the flow of time to its extreme, almost to the point of stillness. It is ineffective against those whose cultivation is a whole realm higher than one's own.
Aji had to admit that it had been careless of it to dodge, resulting in damage to all the acupoints on its body.
Fortunately, at the critical moment it used the Winter Hibernation Moment to reduce the flow of time to the extreme. The dense lightning pillars on its body looked terrible, but they were frozen before they could break through its defenses.
"Snap, snap!"
Aji's expression turned serious, and four-colored light flowed around his body, drawing upon the power of the four seasons. The lightning pillars on his body immediately collapsed and vanished, leaving no trace of injury.
It should be noted that Aji was facing the Forty-Nine Purple Heavenly Tribulation, yet he was able to heal his injuries in the blink of an eye. This extraordinary recovery ability is almost comparable to that of a Fifth Realm Demon Lord.
But more than these things, what the golden eggs and the others cared about most was Aji's change in energy.
Eight thousand years!
Nine thousand years!
Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years!
As the Zichen Heavenly Punishment ended, Aji's surging aura gradually stabilized, and his cultivation level leaped from the peak of Demon King to the perfect Demon King realm, just one step away from the Demon Venerable realm that Jin Dan longed for.
"Gurgle."
Feeling this divine and demonic aura up close, Schiller couldn't help but swallow hard.
It's too powerful, so powerful that its body is trembling slightly!
This kind of spiritual sense—knowing one's own strength is insignificant and unmatched without ever having fought—is truly unfamiliar; it has only appeared in the Fighting Demon Ape.
So the question is, how strong is Aji now compared to the Fighting Demon Ape?
Chen Beiwu did not answer the question in Xue Le's mind. He looked up at Aji, who was standing in the void, and smiled: "How do you feel?"
'
"call out!"
Aji flashed and landed on Chen Beiwu's shoulder, his eyes slightly narrowed, his tone lazy:
It feels great. The Yin-Yang and Qiankun forces that were previously difficult to control have all been transformed into the power of the four seasons that I can control as easily as my own arms.
"Very well, do you have a preferred title?"
Chen Beiwu asked a question, his divine sense probing Aji's three meridians.
