Chapter 299 The Transformation of the Great Tao Manifestation
Long before reaching the Qilian Mountain Range, Shen Yuan had already learned about the general situation of the Qilian Demon Realm through Star Astrology Divine Power.
Among the many demon realms in the Primal Chaos Realm, the Qilian Demon Realm was also a top-tier monster tribe force. On the surface, there were five Great Demon Emperors stationed, but in the shadows, there was also Cang Wu, a Demon Saint who had survived since ten thousand years ago.
Such a force, even if placed among the grotto heavens sacred ground, should belong to the top ranks, so it was abnormal for such a powerful demon realm to covet the inheritance of the Demon Saint Bai Ze.
And after reaching the Qilian Mountain Range and seeing that hidden Qilian Demon Realm deep within the mountains, Shen Yuan became even more certain of his conjecture.
The Qilian Demon Realm, which originally had only one Demon Saint and five Great Demon Emperors, had inexplicably gained an unknown Unity Realm Stage powerful expert, and Shen Yuan could clearly sense through his penetrating gaze that this Unity Realm expert was not of the monster tribe.
The fact that a non-monster Unity Realm powerful expert appeared in the Qilian Demon Realm was enough to arouse suspicion.
Afterward, when three Demon Emperors used a secret treasure to delay the descent of heavenly punishment and made consecutive moves to test Shen Yuan, it seemed that they intended to lure Shen Yuan into the Qilian Demon Realm.
The many oddities immediately made Shen Yuan realize that the true purpose behind the Qilian Demon Realm sending the Great Demon King to chase after Bai Xue was likely to entice him to come here.
The three Great Demon Emperors seemed to strike with lethal moves, but in reality, they hadn't even used their life-risking methods, to a certain extent they were feigning weakness to their enemy.
Their true purpose was to get Shen Yuan to step into the Qilian Demon Realm voluntarily, to use the combined strength of the five Great Demon Emperors and two Tao Harmony powerful experts to encircle and kill Shen Yuan.
Such a setup instantly sparked numerous conjectures in Shen Yuan's mind.
Dusk Realm, Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens, 10th Hall Yama, River Ji Dragon Palace...
In the entire Primal Chaos Realm, only these few forces had the capability to set up such a deadly trap.
It has to be said, the person who laid out the trap had given due consideration to Shen Yuan's strength.
Five Void Refining Demon Emperors and two Tao Harmony powerful experts were already enough to kill any powerful expert below the Immortal Realm.
Even though Shen Yuan had previously achieved feats of slaying Void Refining powerful experts with the help of great momentum, under the limitations of this world, reaching the limit and breaking into the Peak Return-to-Void Stage was already the utmost he could attain.
Attempting to confront five Demon Emperors beyond the Void Refining Stage was as challenging as ascending to heaven.
Add to that one obvious and one hidden Tao Harmony powerful expert, faced with such a deadly setup, Shen Yuan could be considered to have a slim chance of survival.
To mobilize such magnates signified the carefulness of the person behind the scenes.
Having discerned the killing intent within, Shen Yuan did not retreat an inch; instead, he turned the tables, pretending to be at an impasse with the three Great Demon Emperors.
The three Great Demon Emperors returned to the Qilian Demon Realm, waiting for Shen Yuan to fall into the trap.
While Shen Yuan himself directly took out the greatest gain from his journey across ten thousand years of time, attempting to undergo a Great Tao Manifestation transformation within the Qilian Mountain Range, to rise through the ranks and break through in one go.
By then, when he would break into the Qilian Demon Realm, he could easily shatter their trap.
During this period, if any Demon Emperor emerged, Shen Yuan would also be able to slay them in passing.
As one ancient tome after another appeared before him, Shen Yuan began to peruse the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Methods recorded within.
"Spiritually Traversing the Great Void": Unable to cultivate.
"10 Realms Soul Pursuit": Unable to cultivate.
"Slay Demon Subdue Devil": Can cultivate.
"Summoning Deities Invoking Immortals": Unable to cultivate.
...
Out of the sixteen Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Methods obtained from the Great Yin Imperial Family, along with the seventeen others collected from the Treasure Drop Mercantile Association that were unique across various realms, Shen Yuan had thirty-three Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Methods in his hands.
Of this multitude of Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Methods., fourteen could be cultivated, a proportion far exceeding Shen Yuan's previous expectations.
The biggest variable was the seventeen Divine Skills from beyond the Primal Chaos Realm.
By normal proportions, it would be the limit if there were four or five cultivatable Divine Skills among these seventeen Earthly Destroyer Cultivation Methods.
But surprisingly, there were a full nine Divine Skills, with the proportion exceeding half.
While this substantially increased Shen Yuan's gains, it also meant something extremely dreadful.
In realms beyond the Primal Chaos Realm, more than half of the forces that control the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power had ceased their legacy during the great calamity, which alone could demonstrate the peril of the disaster.
On the other hand, of the sixteen Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Methods provided by the Great Yin Imperial Family, only five with severed legacies could be cultivated.
This number had already far surpassed what was needed for the Great Tao Manifestation transformation.
Fourteen Earthly Destroyer Divine Skills added to the five already cultivated by Shen Yuan, as well as the Discarnation Divine Power lost after the Master of North Mang Mountain perished, amounted to a total of twenty Earthly Destroyer Divine Skills.
This didn't even include the Moon-taking God's Ability from Gong Buyu, and the Rain Conjuring Divine Power lost after the River Ji Prince perished.
If all were counted together, there were no fewer than twenty-two Earthly Destroyer Divine Skills.
Of course, this wasn't the main point; what truly excited Shen Yuan was the "10 Suns Immersion Technique" obtained from Ji Zhaoyang.
Since returning from ten thousand years, the Donghua Shaoyang Emperor of this temporal realm had thoroughly perished, and the Heaven Patching Sun Drenching Great Divine Power reemerged in its entirety from this single "10 Suns Immersion Technique."
This indicated that Shen Yuan's plan had already succeeded by half.
Now, what Shen Yuan needed to do was to quickly fully assimilate these Heavenly General and Earthly Destroyer Divine Powers.
With this thought, Shen Yuan waved his right hand, and space stretched for tens of thousands of miles directly to Wenn City.
