Lu Ren let out a long breath. Under such rapid transformation, his body required an extremely large energy expenditure.
So, his gaze focused on the giant tiger’s body before him. He drew out the High-Frequency Vibrating Sword, which now could only be called a short sword, cut open the tiger skin, and revealed the blood and flesh inside.
The meat was fragrant, without any stench, instead emitting a refreshing aroma.
And because of the high energy level, although the opponent’s muscles were extremely tough, they could still be easily ground down and swallowed by Lu Ren’s current set of teeth.
Previously, killing Kong Qiu earned him 2 Skill Points, and now by slaying the great demon Jade Bamboo, he once again gained 2 Skill Points.
Does this mean that killing people or exotic beings in the Bright Awakening Realm can earn Skill Points?
It still needs verification. He needs to find time to kill again and see.
The nutrition in front of him is just right. With the accumulation of four points, he can definitely push his Ten Lands Great Accomplishment Golden Body Bodhisattva Path further.
This is the foundation of his existence.
Due to the True Skill’s influence, even the Proficient Level of Ten Lands Great Accomplishment Golden Body Bodhisattva Path needs four points of skill, far more than double that of first-class boxing skill.
Lu Ren’s thoughts moved slightly as he inserted four skill points into the Ten Lands Great Accomplishment Golden Body Bodhisattva Path.
"Ding, Skill Points confirmed... Your Ten Lands Great Accomplishment Golden Body Bodhisattva Path upgrade successful, currently in the Stage of Synthesis and Understanding, with Additional Attributes [Third Stage of Transformation, Fourth Level of Strengthening Body, Fourth Level of Body Protection, Ten Earth Knot, Fifth Difficult-to-Conquer Land Bodhisattva Statue]."
Like a bow breaking, the agony of tearing reverberated in Lu Ren’s body, and the lowest level of muscular tissue structure began to undergo radical change.
The dark bronze color on his body, as if washed away of rust, began to truly exhibit a pure bronze hue, with his height rising straight up to about four and a half meters.
Countless Fifth Land mysteries also surged into his brain, as if he had been refining in this realm for fifteen to twenty years, perfectly familiar, ingrained in his heart.
"Ding, do you want to integrate Lamp of Freedom Observation with Ten Lands Great Accomplishment Golden Body Bodhisattva Path?"
"Ding, Spring and Autumn in Overlord Body State can be integrated into Ten Lands Great Accomplishment Golden Body Bodhisattva Path, do you want to integrate?"
After the pain in the body slightly eased, Lu Ren was surprised to find that the system unexpectedly had such a prompt.
It seemed that owing to the Ten Lands Great Accomplishment Golden Body Bodhisattva Path upgrade, it finally reached the point of integration.
What will happen after integration? Newest update provided by novel•fire.net
Lu Ren did not hesitate.
"Ding, Lamp of Freedom Observation has been integrated into Ten Lands Great Accomplishment Golden Body Bodhisattva Path... successfully integrated."
"Ding, Spring and Autumn integrated into Ten Lands Great Accomplishment Golden Body Bodhisattva Path... successfully integrated."
Suddenly, a new set of True Skills, different from Ten Lands Great Accomplishment Golden Body Bodhisattva Path, Spring and Autumn, and Lamp of Freedom appeared in Lu Ren’s mind, having been synthesized by the system.
The essence of Lamp of Freedom, the Overlord Body, and Giant Strength as well as Unyielding most intrinsic to Spring and Autumn were all integrated into the Ten Lands Great Accomplishment Golden Body Bodhisattva Path.
His current system panel had been mostly cleared, leaving only Basic Swordsmanship, Perfect Limit-Breaking Level Phoenix Falcon Fist, Ten Lands Great Accomplishment Golden Body Bodhisattva Path, along with Gun Skill and newly acquired Supreme Profound Heart Sutra.
Next, pain from internal body remodeling surged again, and Lu Ren tore off a large piece of flesh to swallow.
This time, the duration of transformation vastly exceeded previous levels.
Until Lu Ren finished devouring the giant tiger Jade Bamboo.
Only then did the bodily changes slowly come to a halt.
He stood up, standing five meters tall, with muscles extremely bulging, his skin overall showing a bronze hue, arcs of electricity flashing sporadically around him due to the powerful magnetic field he emanated.
The top of his head already had knobby eye bumps resembling lumps, with his body covered in dark golden stripes, upon close inspection revealing countless Buddhist Script.
Seated and transformed into a Bodhisattva statue, he would undoubtedly appear as a Buddha.
What concerned Lu Ren most was the vertical eye that opened between his eyebrows, this is the Heart Eye materialized, growing from the Pineal Gland.
Even below his armpits a pair of arms began to form.
Lu Ren’s expression turned solemn, realizing he unexpectedly grew a new set of arms.
Though still small, at their current growth rate, only one day might be needed to match his original arms.
"Ten Earth Knot, Seal!"
Lu Ren uttered lowly, promptly shrinking his body, with surface scales covered by derived skin tissue, newly-grown arms merged into his body, though sides of waist and abdomen appeared slightly plump, it was nonetheless acceptable.
At least it could hide his physique.
Lu Ren inspected his surroundings to ascertain nothing was amiss, then undid the Ten Earth Knot.
Though quite unaccustomed, he could only watch his second pair of arms growing.
The growth of these additional arms couldn’t be rushed, lest they become deformed.
Lu Ren laughed wryly, the system indeed transferred the Fifth Extremely Difficult to Conquer Land Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect from Spiritual Dharma Aspect into reality, taking effect on his body.
Forming genuine Unity of Spirit and Body.
With a movement, behind his head floated a halo of Spiritual Light flickering with flame.
This wasn’t a spiritual substantial manifestation but a display through Qi, namely magnetic field aggregation.
Thus giving him an aura like True Buddha arriving, especially in this human purgatory-like environment, the dark golden stripes on his body also emitted a glow, the halo behind his head resembling a Merit Wheel.
Sweeping away worldly evils.
Resembling Ksitigarbha’s resolve: Until Hell is empty, he vows not to become a Buddha.
Seeing this, Lu Ren vaguely understood Ksitigarbha’s intent.
Is this treating reality as Hell?
In Kunlun Exotic Realm, as night fell, Lu Ren discovered a hint.
After nightfall, Kunlun’s Spirit Realm began to slowly overlap with the real world, allowing the use of those splendid Divine Power Techniques from the Spiritual World.
No wonder the Yin Attribute’s magnetic field energy permeated the earth, forming Yin Pole.
As for why Jade Bamboo didn’t perform any techniques...
It’s not that the opponent didn’t use them, rather Lu Ren’s own Qi blood domain was too strong, hindering the execution of Divine Power Techniques.
Northern Geng Metal, the Sharp Qi of White Tiger.
Originally should penetrate all things, but upon reaching Lu Ren, it transformed into sharp airflow that could only hunt ordinary people.
As night receded, when the first rays of morning sun bathed Lu Ren, the Yin Attribute’s magnetic field energy in the world rapidly retreated.
Feeling the world reverting to normal.
He rose and inspected his newly grown pair of arms, initially still quite unfamiliar, but after stretching his limbs, found them extremely handy.
If in combat all limbs couldn’t fend off, suddenly having another pair of arms would be advantageous!
Lu Ren turned to look at the pile of white bones left of Jade Bamboo.
Under the Ten Earth Seal, his body quickly shrank, bronze skin turning into copper hue, now gone was its original black.
Just because the arms were retracted tightly against his torso, his waist and abdomen appeared slightly bulky, akin to a barrel.
Overall, it was quite a satisfactory result for Lu Ren.
After a long consideration, he turned and walked away.
Survival of the fittest.
Nothing wrong with it.
It’s just that this time he was the strong one.
No wonder the Master of Ceremonies could use Suona to perform Magical Techniques, taking him more than three thousand miles away. If Kunlun Exotic Realm’s night converges reality with Spiritual Realm, some truly extraordinary divine techniques might possess world-shaking might.
Should the Spiritual Realm and the real world completely converge, never separated again, the entire earth might undergo terrifying changes.
As he journeyed along, Lu Ren saw nothing but bones everywhere, an absolute desolation with only occasional appearances of small animals.
Lu Ren’s face turned grim.
The people here were gone.
If not escaped, surely killed by those creatures already turned into demons.
"Subodhi, at the end of cultivation, do you really need to use people as food, sent into the great array to become nourishment?"
This poses a perilous question!
Subodhi could not avoid answering it, he sighed bitterly, pondered for a long time, then slowly replied.
"Upon reaching Bright Awakening, observing the transformed world, over time, one believes no longer being human, thus maintaining true self heart becomes extremely important."
(About to temporarily leave this storyline, the main thread has begun unveiling, I believe it has already initially presented a cruel cultivation world to everyone.)
