493 Great Mastery of the Sacred Body (2)
He moved forward as if nothing had happened. Thick lightning descended from the sky and struck his body with a destructive aura.
The lightning that could split mountains and split the earth only made Song Shi’s body slightly numb. It did not cause any more damage and scattered on the ground, causing some small pits to appear on the ground after being struck by ten thousand lightning bolts.
Amidst the flying dust and gravel, Song Shi quickly advanced to face the even more ferocious lightning.
“Lightning Laws isn’t part of my Dao… I won’t study it for the time being.”
Song Shi bathed in the lightning and began to think about the mystery of the fusion.
He needed to integrate the cultivation techniques he cultivated into one. He had to comprehend the various cultivation techniques he was cultivating now and grasp their essence, merging them into one.
Whether it was following someone else’s path or walking his own path, there had to be a process of integration.
Once they fused, they would be qualified to further comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and use the Dao they cultivated as the foundation to control the Great Dao of heaven and earth.
For example, when he cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Technique, after mastering the cultivation technique, he could further come into contact with the Sun Law and not just pure power.
This process required a very long time. It was the same for the fusion to the Mahayana realm. However, the fusion was the beginning, and the Mahayana realm had some achievements.
If one could control a trace of the ethereal power of the laws, then one could surpass the Mahayana Realm and ascend to become an immortal, becoming an immortal that lived as long as the heavens and the earth.
As for the general situation of the next two realms, Song Shi had a rough understanding of it through the books he had read at Huo Yan’s place and knew what to do.
As his mind was immersed in comprehending the Dao, various powers appeared on Song Shi’s body. The Sun Sacred Flame, the Azure Sword Aura, the Saint Body’s brilliance, and the powers of various demonic scriptures constantly circulated.
The tempering of the body by lightning was not a big deal, a token. Song Shi had walked through most of the plains, but the lightning had failed to kill him. His entire body had turned charred black, and he looked miserable.
The lightning became more and more violent. The power that Song Shi revealed when he circulated his cultivation techniques and divine powers was dispersed by the lightning. He pondered. “It’s not impossible to use external forces to facilitate the fusion of the various Daos I cultivate.”
The biggest problem with his fusion was that there were too many things he cultivated. Ordinary cultivators basically only had one cultivation technique. When he fused, he only needed to do it naturally.
He had too many cultivation techniques and divine arts, so much so that they would affect each other. Before they harmonized, they could forget about merging, let alone merging into one and directly reaching the Mahayana realm.
“The Dao of Strength, the Dao of Blood, the Dao of God… The demonic scriptures of the demon race are all based on the physical body. They can be combined into one.”
Song Shi pondered. “The Dao of Fire, the Dao of Wood, and the Dao of Sword are external Dao. Logically speaking, they should complement each other and not affect each other.”
Muttering to himself, the more Song Shi studied, the more enlightened he became. He looked up and saw rolling lightning in the sky, as if a sea of lightning was floating.
He simply took a step forward and directly rushed towards the source of the lightning in the void.
RUMBLE!
Space distorted and lightning snakes danced.
This place could be called an ocean of thunderbolts. Large amounts of thunderbolts were brewing inside and thunderclouds were rolling. The destructive power could easily turn Void Refinement Realm cultivators into ashes. Even if they fused together, they would not be able to last long.
Song Shi was not afraid at all. He charged in and allowed the lightning to drown him.
The powerful power of lightning forced Song Shi to use all his means to resist, but he was still not his match.
He moved the spare resurrection point into the sea of lightning, leaving the resurrection point outside. This way, he could return to the Mystic Spirit Continent directly. There was no need to do it like before.
The violent lightning did not allow Song Shi to last long before he died.
After resurrecting, Song Shi still resisted to stimulate his Dao fusion. Of course, the effect of the lightning tempering was not missed. His already powerful Physique continued to increase.
After experiencing the strengthening of the Origin by the Blood Spirit Pearl, the strengthening of the foundation by the dragon and phoenix meat, the tempering of the Black Wind Body Tempering, the Fire Alchemy Body, and the tempering of the Fallen God Valley, Song Shi’s Sacred Body of the Ancient Age had already taken a step forward.
Now, under the tempering of the lightning, the brilliance of his Saint Body did not become stronger. Instead, it became even more calm, as if it was constantly approaching the origin of his flesh and blood.
Days passed, and countless lightning bolts struck Song Shi’s body. It was even more terrifying than transcending the tribulation. Under the sea of lightning, demons walked past with difficulty from time to time, but no one knew that someone had actually gone to the sea of lightning above to cultivate.
Song Shi’s various cultivation techniques began to fuse and gradually formed a whole. The systems of the righteous and demonic paths gathered in Song Shi’s body and were gradually absorbed by him, turning into his own.
Of course, this speed was still very slow. The cultivation technique he cultivated was relatively high-level. Even if his Comprehension was strong, it was not easy to fuse so many cultivation techniques into one.
He did not immediately break through in his comprehension, but Song Shi’s body broke through the bottleneck first.
As the last wisp of the Saint Body’s golden holy light disappeared, the phenomenon all over Song Shi’s body disappeared and he suddenly became ordinary.
His flesh and blood were red and his bones were white. Song Shi seemed to have become an ordinary person, looking ordinary.
However, in reality, an even more terrifying fluctuation appeared on his body. His vitality was completely restrained, like a rebirth of a saint from the Desolate Antiquity Era. It contained endless possibilities, and every move he made had the power to destroy the world.
Song Shi opened his eyes and released a powerful aura. The surrounding lightning suddenly shattered under this aura. The lightning that surged over from the sea of lightning was actually difficult to approach.
“Ding… Congratulations on reaching the Great Mastery stage of the Sacred Body of the Ancient Age!”
A notification sounded in his ear. Song Shi calmly opened his eyes and sighed. “As expected, since I have died too many times my Physique has improved more than the others. Now that my Physique has broken through first, I’ve completely reached the level for Fusion.”
The Great Mastery Saint Body was actually the physique of a Supreme Saint, and the Sacred Body of the Ancient Age was ranked first among many Saint Physiques. Therefore, Song Shi’s current Great Mastery Saint Body could suppress most Fusion Great Saints.
To a certain extent, his physique was comparable to the physique of a Great Emperor. It could be said to be extremely powerful.
Of course, his Dharmic powers had yet to reach the same level and he was still unable to truly contend against a Great Emperor. However, if he were to attack a Fusion Great Saint again, he believed that ordinary Fusion Great Saints would not be his match.
“In the end, the comprehension of Dao cannot take a shortcut. The lightning here is no longer effective. Let’s move to another place.”
Song Shi muttered. After reaching the Great Mastery stage of the Sacred Body of the Ancient Age, his Physique had risen to another level. The current sea of lightning could no longer hurt him.
Without wasting any more time, Song Shi passed through the lightning and arrived at the end of the Heavenly Thunder Plains.
After passing through a barrier, the space changed drastically. He arrived in darkness. In the distance was a starry sky, but it was extremely far away.
“This is the Ancient Battlefield?”
Song Shi was puzzled.
At that moment, a chaotic light appeared in the darkness and suddenly landed on Song Shi’s arm. It was useless for him to resist subconsciously.
“Within a hundred years, if you can kill a hundred enemies of the same realm, ten enemies of a minor realm higher, and one enemy of two minor realms higher at the same time on the Ancient Battlefield without any help. You will pass the trial.”
A message was sent over. Song Shi was surprised to discover that the chaotic light had formed a circle on his arm. It was divided into three spirals, and there were numbers in each spiral. At that moment, all of them were zero.
“This time, it’s actually a direct massacre!”
Song Shi’s eyes lit up. He was quite interested in killing demons.
“Right now, I have to kill a hundred Peak Void Refinement Realm experts, ten experts at the Early Body Integration Realm and one at the Mid Body Integration Realm before I can be considered to have completed the task. In that case, it would seem like I’m at a disadvantage if I don’t make a breakthrough.”
As Song Shi pondered, the spiral patterns sent him a message to learn the specific rules.
It turned out that this data was calculated based on his actual cultivation level. In other words, he could choose to break through to the Body Integration Realm first before attacking.
Understanding the rules, he glanced around, his lips twitching. “It’s dark here. How do I kill them?”
Before he could finish complaining, space changed and he was suddenly thrown out, landing among countless meteors.
Song Shi looked at the many remains floating around him and looked at the purple plane in the distance. He took a deep breath.
“The Ancient Battlefield is actually the battlefield between the two worlds. I should have thought of this long ago!”
A thought flashed through his mind, and he vaguely understood some things.
If the geniuses of the demon race wanted to complete the trial here, they would basically choose the fellows from the Black Spirit Realm to take action. Not only were the two realms opposing each other, but the key was that they were at the same level. The cultivators of the Black Spirit Realm were slightly weaker than the demons, so it was easier to kill them. Naturally, it was easier to complete the mission.
In that case, a considerable portion of the demons that had appeared more frequently than before were probably due to the geniuses of the demons training here!
At the thought of this, Song Shi revealed a wicked smile. “Hehe, I bet you guys would never expect me to get involved. It’ll be fun.”
