Fighting For Eternity

A red sword releases sharp but powerful sword energy. This sword energy is specific to this sword art meaning, Zhang Chen hasn't realized his own sword energy but can produce sword energy of specific arts such as Seven Emperors Killing Sword.

Sword Energy has four attributes, and the advantage of practice your own sword energy is; you can add all four attributes to your sword energy. But it is kind of hard while practicing sword art and using sword energy related to that art is nothing hard because you are practicing something that has been already practiced.

Every martial art written by the creator is fully detailed about everything related to it. Such as his Seven Emperor Killing Sword has described a short way to access Power attributed sword energy. But if Zhang Chen tries another martial art, then this Power attributed sword energy may not be helpful to him except giving him experience.

"Splash" "Thud"

The red sword energy released by the heavy sword, slash the beast in half. Blood spilled out of its body splashing everywhere, and its body fell hard to the ground. The fire around its leg slowly disappeared, and Fire Spotted Tiger dies.

"Hu, it took my final attack to kill this beast. It seems I'm not strong enough." Zhang Chen's breathing was fast, it was clear about his current situation. He was very tired, after using his Martial Spirit. It not only consumes his spiritual energy but also his stamina. But his words weren't right, after all, he defeated a high-level monster among middle-rank beast.

Monsters are divided into three ranks; Low, Middle, and High. Each rank is divided into nine levels. (PS: Rank and Levels are interchanged but have the same meaning, previously it was three levels and nine ranks but now this seems more fitting.)

Generally, level one to three is the low-level beast among each rank while seven to nine are a high-level beast. Fire Spotted Tiger is a middle-rank 8th level beast. In a normal situation, a cultivator whose cultivation is between Body Tempering to Soul Tempering is eligible to fight low-rank monsters. Of course, body refiner can only fight against level 1 to 3 among low-rank monster beast.

As so, the first three layers of body refiners are fit to fight against level one low-rank monster beast. Since Fire Spotted Tiger was high-level among middle-rank, then only True Essence Stage cultivators are qualified to fight against it but Zhang Chen hasn't even entered True Qi Stage much less True Essence.

But he was able to fight these beasts due to the First Transformation of Demons and Gods. But when he thinks it over and over when he realizes, these are all leapfrog challenges and he was able to do that just by First Transformation. This made him excited every time he thinks about it, if he practices Second Transformation or third, and then what kind of leapfrog battle can he not do?

He sometimes thinks about the Asura Race and the person who can create such Cultivation Art and put it on bloodline inheritance. Through bloodline, a person can gain just more than bloodline abilities. Sometimes, it can even lend them enlightenment, of course only bloodline like Golden Buddha Bloodline has these chances, and specific bloodline can give specific enlightenment.

Not to mention, the primary cultivation art 'Asura Transformation Technique' is in the same level as the Nine Transformation of Demons and Gods. Asura Transformation is divided into three levels, at least this is as much as Zhang Chen knows.

The first level is called Asura Body. After completing the first level, he can transform into the Asura from the hell. According to the picture shown in Asura Transformation Technique, he will have a black-red scale all over his body, with two golden horns on his forehead. This transformation will increase his strength by five times, including physical strength, spiritual energy, and soul power.

It is a truly a horrifying transformation but thinks about it. He shakes his head; he doesn't want his handsome face covered in black-red scales. He takes out a mirror and murmured "How can I allow those scales to cover my handsome face?"

After, that he walks near the corpse and sat in a crossed leg position. He runs the First Transformation of Demons and Gods in his mind, a strange black color gas spreads out of his body covering the whole corpse.

Within a few seconds, the size covered by strange black color gas decrease, and within ten breathes of time it got empty from inside. A strange black gas entered his body, and to his dantian, and releases vast of energy inside his dantian.

After, energy is released; he gets deeper in First Transformation, starting True Demon Body- Tempering Skin. He is already much closed to reach this state, now with all these energies, he is sure to reach the Tempering Skin stage.

Energy flows from his dantian to his skin from different meridians and blood veins. Then, energy scattered into several small energy particles and entered his skin cells. This process was a little painful because he was completely transforming his skin, changing the human genes to the demon.

Naturally, Zhang Chen began to accumulate that scattered energy in every cell of his skin to the core of each cell. This process has to been done carefully because these energies are corroding in nature. These energies are death energy produced after the death of any creature. It has terrifying corroding nature, but due to that black gas, its corroding power has decreased a lot.

But he still has to be very careful while handling these energies. His skin cells were getting tempered slowly but steady from the innermost part. His whole body was covered in the black aura as if he was some kind of evil demon.

After three hours, the black aura gradually decreases and a smooth and white color skin was at the sight. At this moment, he was wearing a tight black inner vest and black pants. His black hair was short and spiky. He was full of energy, as stands up he clenched his fist and shot a punch at the tree near him.

"Bang" "Crack" "Crack" "Thud"

This tree was relatively small than other trees, its stem began to crack after a single punch, and without the support of the stem; it heavily fell in the ground. (PS: Don't try this, deforestation is bad)

"With this, I have confidence to fight geniuses of middle-level or high-level dynasty." Zhang Chen looked at his fist without a scratch and murmured but little did he know the horror of true geniuses. Currently, his physical strength was at two flood dragon while his physical defense was enough to fight against four flood dragon strength.

With this in mind, he began to hunt more monsters to cultivate.

In a mountain range,

A big palace stood tall at one of the peak, looking elegant and decorated with ice. This palace was none other than Ice Crown Sect. In one the practice ground of Ice Crown Sect.

"Caw" "Screech"

Two birds resembling eagle but one with red and gold plumage while other with white and blue. Their eyes were sharp, and they were condensed into the physical form. These were none other than Fire and Ice Phoenixes. They opened their mouth and swallowed a large amounts of spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Then they began to transfer the energy into a girl's body. This girl was none other than Qui HuiFang. She had released her Martial Spirit to absorb energy and transform them into true energy. She was wearing a blue Hanfu dress, and her face looked beautiful even better than before.

All of these energies were gulped by these birds, but some energy entered her body from the pores sucked in by the spiritual roots. Spiritual energies sucked by the bird slowly transform into red and blue energy that entered her dantian from the Fire Veins.

The quantity after the transformation of energy decreased to one-tenth but it felt even more vigorous than before. This energy was none other than True energy. It was slowly filling her dantian. Red and blue true energies formed spiral diagram like Yin-Yang. The spiral diagram floated above the spiritual roots forming merging itself with spiritual roots increased the sucking power even more.

After two hours, the dantian was almost filled but to enter the True energy stage one need baptize their own body with true energy nine times. This will allow the whole body to get familiar with the true energy. It is rather painful since this process not only tempers one's body but also forcefully remove spiritual energy remained in their body.

Normally, pores are opened to let spiritual energy in, not to let it out otherwise, once spiritual energy is out of dantian then it will scattered and get out of his body without his permission. So, to forcefully remove spiritual energy from the pores is painful.

Except this, there is another term needs to be completed before entering the True energy realm, and it is even more important than tempering the body with true energy. Before entering True energy realm, one needs to transform his/her Martial Spirit into the dantian and store it inside in physical form.

Only after this step, one can truly enter True energy stage.
