Immortal Palace of Eternal Life

Chapter 1056: Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi and Returning to Spirit! Part 2

Sunlight, breeze, chill...

Burning, stabbing, freezing....

The breeze brushed past his body, making him tremble slightly. Every inch of skin prickled with pain, accompanied by a chill so deep it seemed able to freeze the soul.

The sunlight shone on him as if it wanted to melt him whole.

Having lost the protection of his fleshly body and now appearing in the world in his yuan ying form, Liu Yu was at an unprecedented peak of strength.

And yet, in another sense, he had fallen into extreme weakness.

At every moment, dozens of different kinds of pain were transmitted through both his "body" and his mind.

However, after cultivating to this point, his will was already as firm as a rock.

So aside from being caught off guard at the beginning, he soon remained expressionless and silently endured it.

After passing through the "Heavenly Gate," Liu Yu endured the pain in his "body" and spirit while carefully sensing this wondrous state.

His spiritual perception was more active than ever before, and his spiritual consciousness was in the midst of rapidly transforming into "divine thought." It had become far stronger than before, by who knew how many times.

It felt as though with a single thought, endless spiritual energy would come surging in. His control over heaven and earth spiritual energy had improved enormously, no longer remotely comparable to before.

At this point, if he fought any true lord demonic king, even a pinnacle true lord or pinnacle demonic king, as long as Liu Yu calmly unleashed his spiritual consciousness power, he could prevent the opponent from drawing even a trace of heaven and earth spiritual energy.

"I was never truly soul-shattered; the pain in the body is not serious."

"With the 'great sun and lunar shadow' as my foundation, my yuan ying body is sufficiently powerful."

"Even exposed to the outside world, it can last for months. That is an advantage others simply cannot compare with."

"Now, it is time for the yuan ying to undergo its metamorphosis."

With those thoughts flashing through his mind, not even half a breath wasted, Liu Yu lowered his gaze toward the fleshly body below.

Sizzle, sizzle.

The blood-burning divine transformation secret technique was still continuing. Because his accumulated foundation had been so profound, there was still a vast amount left to squeeze out from the fleshly body.

Blood, flesh, marrow, magical power, and more still kept transforming into essence qi and flowing into the magic formation, then being converted into special unattribute qi.

Through the Heavenly Gate, the yuan ying had already broken through its original shackle and opened the path toward advancement into Primordial Spirit.

At this time, it should absorb heaven and earth spiritual energy to complete its transformation.

But compared to other advancement-takers, Liu Yu had a better choice right now.

The fleshly body's accumulation had not yet been exhausted, and compared with absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy, the special qi from the same source was undoubtedly easier to refine.

It could greatly shorten the entire process, thereby lowering the difficulty.

With that thought, he continued maintaining the blood-burning divine transformation secret technique.

At the same time, he slowly formed a spell gesture, controlling the nine-feet-nine-inch yuan ying body to open its mouth and inhale toward the fleshly body below.

Whoosh~

Scarlet flames flickered. Drawn by his spiritual consciousness power, a large mass of pale red special qi immediately rose from all parts of the three-hundred-zhang true body.

In the next instant, it was swallowed in one gulp.

Boom~

In an instant, the spiritual pressure and might radiating from the nine-feet-nine-inch yuan ying surged by another thirty percent over its original level.

Azure light blazed intensely across its body, and its size also began to swell inch by inch.

One zhang, one zhang and nine chi, three zhang...

Visible to the naked eye, with continuous support from the fleshly body, the yuan ying expanded to about nine zhang in just over ten breaths, like a baby growing rapidly.
