Chapter 375: Bodily Breakthrough
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Minghe opened his eyes slowly. There was indeed a trace of weirdness in his eyes. After absorbing the Origin, the Holy Thunder of Destruction grew fast to the Half Step to the Fate Realm. Although it could not compete with the One-horned Demon Ape"s Thunder yet, still, its growth was amazing.
But what upset Minghe was that the Holy Thunder of Destruction mutated after consuming the Origin. The thunder pattern between Minghe"s eyebrows was the consequence of the mutation. Underneath it was a destructive third eye that could summon a Holy Thunder of Destruction.
At the thought of this, Minghe could not help cursing. Who could have expected that he would become a three-eyed person? Was he Erlang Shen? Although his third eye was much more capable than Yang Jian"s useless one, he would still find it embarra.s.sing if he should open the third eye to summon the Holy Thunder of Destruction against his enemy.
Moreover, Minghe did not practice the Law of Thunder and was not able to help the Holy Thunder of Destruction grow. It could not live up to its full potential in Minghe"s body. Furthermore, Minghe himself was already capable enough and the Holy Thunder of Destruction would be of no use even it was at the Half Step to the Fate Realm. Everyone should have seen how Minghe killed a One-horned Demon Ape.
Thinking back and forth, Ming could only pa.s.s it over to Heaven and Earth Taoist, who had the World of Heaven and Earth where Minghe dumped his "trash". The "trash" were things that Minghe was not in need of, whereas the World of Heaven and Earth found them helpful. Additionally, any other person would consider these things extremely priceless.
The Holy Thunder of Destruction was already a Holy Thunder of Chaos. Thus, if it should become the Divine Punishment in the World of Heaven and Earth, it would greatly strengthen the Way of Heaven inside. The Holy Thunder had grown its wisdom and it would certainly reinforce the Law of Thunder in the world and, at the same time, develop itself. It really was a win-win situation.
That being said, Minghe would not dump the thunder so soon. He needed to wait until he had advanced to the Indestructible Demon Body. In order to do that, he had to blend his Veridical Soul into every part of his body. Naturally, the Holy Thunder of Destruction was the best catalyst to speed up the blending. When he completed his Indestructible Demon Body, Minghe could put the Holy Thunder away.
Now that everything was ready, it was high time that Minghe cultivated his Indestructible Demon Body. Considering the fact that his Original Spirit was close to the Peak of the Half Step to the Fate Realm, Minghe could start the cultivation now. Judging from the Original Spirit"s development, it would take between thousands of years to 10"s of thousands of years to accomplish that.
The first step of the cultivation was to divide the Veridical Soul. Hence, in the Sea of Consciousness, a formidable Original Spirit sat cross-legged, shrouded in glittering particles. Then, the particles floated away from the Original Spirit to the boundless Sea of Consciousness. At last, the entire Sea of Consciousness was shining like a starry sky, deep and beautiful.
The particles were the very Veridical Soul that Minghe had divided. They were also the maximum volume that Minghe could divide at one time without hurting the Original Spirit. Exceeding the volume could only harm the Original Spirit, which in turn would take an awful lot of time to recover.
Minghe"s Original Spirit dimmed greatly after dividing the Veridical Soul sky. Though his Original Spirit was intact, anyone would be out of his depth after such a division. If it were other people, their Original Spirits would have crashed. It was amazing that Minghe"s Original Spirit only just dimmed to some extent.
Now that the Original Spirit Veridical Soul Division had reached its limit, Minghe paused to let the Original Spirit receive Spiritual Air and vital force for recovery. In the meantime, the Law of Spiritual Beings was nurturing the Original Spirit. In this way, the Original Spirit would certainly improve fast.
Additionally, to speed up the progress, he had prepared well before the Closed Door Meditation. He had set up a Spirit Gathering Formation not with a Flag of Formation, but rather with Treasures of Heaven and Earth that he had collected all these years. Moreover, the treasures all shared the same function of healing Original Spirit.
The treasure-made Spirit Gathering Formation sat on the tip of a dragon vein and therefore grew stronger every day by devouring the vital force of the vein. The emitted herbal fragrance was trapped untouched by the Spirit Gathering Formation and was returning to heal Minghe"s Original Spirit. Although not as effective as swallowing Spiritual Medicine, it was long-lasting.
After all, the cultivation of an Indestructible Demon Body required at least thousands of years and the collected Treasures of Heaven and Earth did not seem to satisfy his appet.i.te. This type of developing was time-consuming but at the same time sustainable. Moreover, it would be a waste to directly swallow the Treasures of Heaven and Earth because Minghe was only tired, rather than wounded.
The second step was to blend the Veridical Soul into the body. This one was easier because Minghe had tempered himself by blending the Power of Original Spirit into his body. Thanks to that, his body had become immortal. But still, when blending a Veridical Soul, it was much harder.
Minghe had underestimated how hard it was to combine a Veridical Soul and the body. It was much slower than Minghe had expected. Though his body did not reject the Veridical Soul, it probably would take extra 10,000 years to complete the blending at such a speed.
Fortunately, Minghe had prepared himself. He let the Holy Thunder of Destruction surge within his body. Instantly the blending accelerated and became more compact. Under such circ.u.mstances, he could manage to turn into the Indestructible Demon Body on time.
The next step was to enter into an endless loop and continue—divide the Veridical Soul, regain the Original Spirit, and blend the Veridical Soul into the body. In this process, Minghe grew his body and Original Spirit and learned more about the Law of Spiritual Beings from the on-and-off Original Spirit healing. The Holy Thunder of Destruction surged and the Veridical Soul blended into his body. Thus, his body could continuously swallow the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth to grow stronger.

Outside Minghe"s cultivating s.p.a.ce, in the center of the Lower Layer of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons, a figure showed up. If Minghe had seen him, he would have known that it was Hongjun. He had always been afraid of Hongjun, whose Original Spirit was at the Peak of the Half Step to the Fate Realm. With some extra enlightenment, Hongjun could easily reach the Fate Realm.
Hongjun stood on a cloud without any facade, and no Ominous Beast of Chaos dared to approach him. The Ominous Beasts here had wisdom like any other Creature. Apart from shapeshifting, they were even stronger than those at the Zenith Heaven Realm. Since Hongjun did not bother to restrain his vital force, any sensible Ominous Beast of Chaos would not take the risk.
Then, Hongjun looked down with his Spiritual Thoughts. Suddenly, he spotted a hill and quickly landed in front of it. Then, he waved his hands to erase the facade of the hill, revealing the Transmitting Formation inside. Judging by his acts, Hongjun seemed to have learned about the Formation beforehand.
Seeing this, Hongjun smiled in satisfaction. He was lucky to have discovered a ruin before and learn about the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons, which saved him much time. Dangerous as the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons was, the chances on it attracted him deeply. With no further delay, he entered the Transmitting Formation and vanished in a flash of light.
.
Absorbed in cultivation, Minghe did not know Hongjun"s whereabouts. After 7,846 years of cultivation, the Indestructible Demon Body was almost complete. Since the most important part was the heart, Minghe still needed to grind away on that.
When Minghe had turned into a Rakshasa with an Immortal Demon Body, his body was already immortal. Now, his body had evolved to be a more indestructible one. Over the years, Minghe was always growing his body, ignoring the restriction of the Half Step to the Fate Realm.
Thousands of years before, Minghe could clearly feel a barrier after reaching the Peak of the Half Step to the Fate Realm. He may have had difficulties in the progress of the Original Spirit, but he had never stopped growing his body. He could not help speculating that in the Lower Layer of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons, only Original Spirit cultivation was restricted to some extent.
That speculation was about to be tested. As Minghe finally transformed his heart, a raging vital force surged upward from within his body. The tactical formations he had set up crumbled in a minute. Then, Minghe clenched his fist in amazement. Four words flashed through his mind that said: "the human body Breakthrough".
Minghe"s speculation was true—the Lower Layer of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons did not limit your body"s breakthrough, which was odd. To protect the Creatures in the Lower Layer, the Great Way put a limit on Original Spirit development. Thus, it was puzzling that it did not restrain body development. Just when he was thinking that, he felt an objection from Heaven and Earth.
