Chapter 192 - The Divine Weapon — Golden Ship (1/2)

The Yuan Shen's third form was the prerequisite to advance into the level of Atman Body. The opening of the five Yuan Shen realms, and the acquisition of the Combat Yuan Shen formed the foundation on which a Qi Practitioner could advance into the level of Atman Body; however, in order to venture a step higher, not only would that cultivator have to coalesce his mortal body and the Yuan Shen into one, he would also need to open the third form of his Yuan Shen.

The third form was the strongest form of the Combat Yuan Shen. Taking Zhong Yue's Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen as an example, the first form was a scorching sun, the Great Sun; the second form was the three-taloned Golden Crow, while the third and last form was a three-legged winged celestial being — the Golden Crow Celestial.

Zhong Yue had already opened both the first and second form when he was still in the level of Rebirth, but he had yet to open the final and strongest third form.

Zuo Xiangsheng's Great Sun Fire Crow God, Xiao Chushan's mastiff-headed celestial being, these were both only achievable when their mortal body had coalesced with their Yuan Shen's third form.

When Zhong Yue battled with the Awakening Xiao Mang celestial, Xiao Jin; even Xiao Jin had yet to open the third form. One could infer how hard it was to open the Yuan Shen's third form; not only would that the cultivator have to open all five realms, but his Yuan Shen must also be incredibly strong and powerful!

Through ordinary daily cultivation, it would take ages for Zhong Yue to open the five Yuan Shen realms. However, as he had reversed open the five wheels, all of his Yuan Shen secret realms were opened, allowing him to meet with the prerequisite of opening the Yuan Shen's third form!

And now, he had eaten and refined a few Yang fishes; as the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen was the Pure Yang spirit of the sun, when it was nourished by the Yang Qi, it's prowess started to increase exponentially, strengthening his Yuan Shen as it edged ever so closer to evolving to the third form!

If he could succeed in opening the third form, his Combat Yuan Shen's combat capability would be a degree stronger, improving by leaps and bounds!

"This is indeed worthy as a secret realm of a fallen god, the treasures here are unimaginably valuable. These Yang fishes alone are unrivaled medicinal pellets to me, even better than the beast god inner core! However, even if I had opened the Yuan Shen third form, I still couldn't coalesce my mortal body and the Yuan Shen together to break through to the level of Atman Body."

Zhong Yue knew the problem that lied in his cultivation — his Wu Xing Realm was at its peak, and he could cultivate his Yin Yang Realm to the peak in this place; however, the Wan Xiang Realm, Shen Cai Realm and Dao Yi Realm were factors dragging him back from advancing to a higher level.

Without cultivating the Wan Xiang, Shen Cai and Dao Yi Realm to their peaks, he could never advance higher to the cultivation level of Atman Body.

Even so, it was an unexpected gift from life that exhilarated him greatly. After all, it had only been half a month's time since his advancement into the Awakening level, and he has opened up all five realms. Moreover, he was at the brink of opening the Yuan Shen third form – all of these achievements could be taken as defiances of the natural order.

Even the celestials, or the gifted innate spirit body holders would not have been able to do the same!

As time passed, the number of Yang fish that came after him grew fewer as he continued to devour them, eventually managing to strengthen his Yuan Shen to an incredibly strong degree.

Zhong Yue turned back and pounced towards the shoaling Yang fishes, the three-taloned Golden Crow flared out the wings and launched the strong and powerful sword feathers, piercing through the sunfire rays and thrusting into the Yang fishes congregating in mid-air.

The sword feathers tossed the fish into chaos. All of the Yang fish immediately plunged and disappeared into the lava lake leaving behind a few fallen comrades while the 'dead' Yang fishes turned into the smaller fishes before dispersing in all directions.

Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen took in a long breath and sucked in dozens of smaller Yang fish, he chased around to suck away the smaller Yang fishes. Meanwhile, he noticed that the Yang fish below in the lava lake started devouring one another, the bigger ones would devour the smaller ones and grow bigger while continuing to eat the others.

Soon, the hundreds of Yang fish were whittled down to a few gigantic Yang fish, and they were still devouring one another!

All of a sudden, the lava lake boiled up, and a thousand feet long giant fish leaped out from the lake. Opening its mouth wide and sucking in the air, it was as if its mouth had become a vacuum!

Zhong Yue quickly fluttered his wings and flew away, his heart was still thumping in shock; while the thousand feet long giant fish flew in the air like a hovering mountain ridge, lunging over at him with great speed!

Then smaller Yang fish flew over to be willingly devoured by the giant fish, making it larger!

"Shit, these Yang fish knew they couldn't do anything against me, so they are trying to combine into a stronger and bigger one to defeat me by letting themselves be devoured!"

Zhong Yue's hairs bristled up, the big Yang fish's prowess was way stronger than him, he was no match for such a big guy!

"Quick, fly! Fly! Go faster!" Xin Huo, who was hiding behind his ear shouted.

Zhong Yue flared his wings and the Golden Crow left a trail of golden line on its back. Behind him, the sunfire rays blasted over like an ocean, the thousand feet long giant fish swam in the fire ocean fast like lightning while shooting out two rays of sunfire aiming at his back!

The three-taloned Golden Crow bolted over quickly, —Shua— it entered into Zhong Yue's mortal body on the lakeside. As he recalled his Yuan Shen back into his body, Zhong Yue sprung himself up from the ground and flared out the golden wings —Bang bang bang— he cast all five Yuan Shen realms and bolted away!

The thousand feet long giant fish swam in the fire ocean and chased after him, wherever it went, the mountains would be ignited and burned in flames. Even the mountain ridges were reduced to lava that flowed down like a flaming waterfall!

"Pure Yang Sword Qi, Attack!"

Zhong Yue turned his head around, a ray of golden light shot out from his left eye, blasting onto the Yang fish. His Pure Yang Sword Qi had evolved, it was now stronger and more powerful; when the golden ray slashed down, the fish scales of the giant fish suddenly brightened up and a few giant scales were sliced away.

"What…."

Zhong Yue was shocked, the Pure Yang Sword Qi could be said to be one of his strongest skills, and yet, it barely sliced off a few fish scales, not even the flesh of the Yang fish was harmed.
