Chapter 1053: Destiny Fades in Despair! Part 2
The moment the nine-hundred-zhang azure silhouette appeared, his spiritual pressure and aura immediately began rising step by step, soon surpassing the Black Flood Dragon King by a margin.
"This feeling... is really good."
Liu Yu murmured softly.
He felt better than ever before. An incomparably powerful sensation filled his chest, even giving him the illusion that he could pierce the heavens.
He clearly knew this was an illusion, and quickly steadied his mind. The ripples on his lake of the heart were smoothed away.
"Star body!"
After displaying the Qingyang Nebula, Liu Yu did not stop. With a silent command in his heart, he entered his true body state.
"Riiiiip~"
Accompanied by the sound of his black robe bursting apart, the mountains in his field of vision seemed to shrink continuously as his body grew taller and taller.
At ninety-nine zhang, as if reaching some kind of limit, he finally stopped.
Of course, at the same time the robe shattered, long pants condensed from magical power had already covered that mighty and imposing lower body.
At the same time, an yin-yang fish pattern appeared on his chest.
Red above, silver-white below, with a strip of azure spiritual light dividing the middle. The three-colored light shone upon each other in perfect harmony.
Who could have imagined that, now that the Five Elements Pass had fallen, someone would still be charging toward the divine transformation realm?
At this moment, the Human Race and the demon race's divine sovereigns and demon emperors should be restraining one another, with no time to spare for anything else.
Seizing this opportunity, Liu Yu intended to defeat the Black Flood Dragon King before they could react, and complete his breakthrough in the shortest possible time.
Opportunity came and went in an instant, and since this was the strongest opponent he had ever faced, he had no more concerns.
Naturally, he no longer needed to hold back.
Thus, after only two probing exchanges, he displayed both "Qingyang Nebula" and "Star body" in succession.
However, seventy years had passed.
With the Immortal Abode world, he could continuously deduce cultivation techniques, secret techniques, and more. This still was not his strongest state!
After revealing both dharma manifestation and true body, Liu Yu released the Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear. His hands moved rapidly, forming seals and hand signs.
As one spell gesture after another fell, the nine-hundred-zhang "Qingyang Nebula" behind him actually began to shrink at a terrifying speed.
As it shrank, it spread its arms in a hugging motion, embracing his true body, and the two gradually fused together.
First the head, then the arms and upper body, and finally the legs and lower body.
In just a split second, the nine-hundred-zhang azure silhouette completely vanished, fully merging into the true body.
"BOOM!!"
Once again, Liu Yu's spiritual pressure and aura surged, reaching a realm even true lords would find unbelievable.
Not even "as vast as a mountain or sea" could describe it; only "as deep as an abyss, as terrifying as a prison" was fitting!
At the same time, his already ninety-zhang true body expanded once more, growing inch by inch.
Aside from the yin-yang fish pattern on his chest, every inch of skin on his body seemed unable to withstand the pressure, as if about to split open, and began emitting strands of azure light.
It looked like streaks of "blood vessels," yet also like cracks.
And yet there was not the slightest sense of discord, as if it had been like this from the very beginning.
It was as though the "Qingyang Nebula" had unfolded upon Liu Yu's true body, with dharma manifestation and true body fully merged!
At this moment, he looked terrifying, like an immortal demon from myth and legend descending into the world.
Part god, part devil!
Just looking at him made one's heart involuntarily rise with a deep sense of awe.
Gradually, in Liu Yu's eyes, even the Black Flood Dragon King's beast body, which was larger than a mountain, no longer seemed so enormous.
