Chapter 434 Probing Four

Tiancan's expression shifted slightly, and he turned his head to look out at the sea again.

On the thousand-meter-high cliff, the seawater below seemed to be swirling and churning.

In the black seawater, a faint white color seemed to be mixed in.

Large patches of white bubbles emerged from the rolling seawater, bursting open and steaming out a dense cloud of white mist.

Moo…!!

A strange sound, like the roar of a bull, suddenly echoed from the sea.

"It's coming!" Tiancan retreated a few steps, and his whole body's blood essence suddenly condensed on his arms, forming two sets of black and red arm guards. His expression was solemn.

This momentum…

*Ka-chak!*

Suddenly, a slight tremor came from the ground below. As if realizing something, he leaped high into the air.

*Rumble!!!*

In an instant, it was as if thunder had struck the ground.

The ground of the cliff where he had been standing was pierced by a huge gray three-pronged halberd. With terrifying force, it split the cliff completely in two.

The blade of the three-pronged halberd alone, protruding from the ground, was five or six meters long. With a fierce swipe, it instantly cut the hundred-meter-wide cliff, sending it crashing down into the night sea below.

Before the cliff could completely fall, it was struck upwards by a huge shadow.

*Rumble!!!*

Dirt and black stones scattered everywhere like rain.

A huge white shadow, over fifteen meters tall, surrounded by white mist, broke through the cliff. As if teleporting, a black shadow flashed in mid-air, appearing out of nowhere behind Tiancan.

"Succumb…"

The huge three-pronged halberd transformed into white lightning, striking Tiancan's back.

The terrifying power of over ten thousand tons erupted fully at this moment, pouring into Tiancan's body upon contact.

The blood essence held for a moment before collapsing, and the skin was instantly torn open, the muscles severed, and the bones fractured and shattered.

Tiancan's body, like a rag doll, was almost broken in half by the force and smashed into the ground like a meteor.

Amidst the roar, the black rocky earth beneath him caved in and shattered, and countless stones were blasted into the air by the vibration.

Large patches of black dust, mixed with black and red flesh, scattered around. This was all the body tissue of Tiancan that had been smashed and pulverized.

*Pfft.*

After launching the attack that struck down Tiancan, the giant shadow slowly descended to the surrounding ground, supported by the white mist.

At this time, the white mist dissipated, revealing its true form.

It was a giant white deer, over fifteen meters tall.

To be precise, it was a human-headed deer, with the upper body of a human, with hands, and the lower body of a deer, with four hooves.

On its head were a pair of huge, tree-branch-like gray-white antlers.

Its entire body was covered in large patches of gray-white bone armor, with many places shimmering with beautiful purple orchid patterns.

Most exaggeratedly, the monster held a giant gray-white three-pronged halberd more than twenty meters long in its right hand.

If someone could get close enough to take a closer look,

They would be surprised to find that at the connection between the blade and the handle of the three-pronged halberd, there was a pure purple *Zi Yu Lan* (Purple Jade Orchid) shimmering with light. Around the blade were numerous overlapping gray, translucent sword blades. Like some kind of bandage, they were completely attached to the three sharp blades, constantly moving and rubbing against each other, creating a grating, ear-piercing sound.

White mist turned into clouds of smoke, swirling and floating around.

The huge half-human, half-deer monster's eyes gleamed with a faint golden light as it slowly walked to the deep pit where Tiancan had fallen.

The shadow cast by its body completely enveloped Tiancan within, and a powerful, terrifying pressure ruthlessly squeezed the blood shadow on his body, causing it to shrink back.

Both were dual imprints, but Li Cheng Yi's second imprint was a fusion imprint, plus the tenfold increase in vitality from the new flower language…

A huge gap was thus opened.

"Again?" Li Cheng Yi lightly tapped the bone-like three-pronged halberd on the ground, creating a loud noise.

This three-pronged halberd was a weapon combining the Zi Yu Lan flower scale armor, bone extension, and golden sword fusion. He hadn't expected that the flower scale armor would also change in sync with his body size.

This was the so-called the stronger the body, the stronger the amplification, and the stronger the flower scale armor…

He now understood that the flower scale armor's strength was based on the body's overall quality.

The stronger his essence, the stronger the flower scale armor.

"Heh heh heh..." Tiancan, in the deep pit, was in a miserable state, but he gave a strange laugh.

"You think you've won!? If it weren't for that inexplicable moment of distraction just now..."

"You're too naive." Li Cheng Yi raised the giant three-pronged halberd again, swinging the thick handle in a circle and slamming it down.

"Succumb…" he murmured.

The terrifying power of ten thousand tons slammed down on Tiancan with the three-pronged halberd.

"Dragon Silk Transformation!! Ninth!"

Tiancan suddenly dissolved, turning into countless blood shadows scattered around, and then instantly merged again, transforming into a new seven-meter-tall blood giant.

He raised his hand.

The blood essence in the center of his palms condensed into a blood-colored cross star.

"Go!"

This was the ultimate move of his Dragon Silk Transformation cultivation, the Heavenly Star Piercer!

It could instantly condense all the blood essence in the body to the extreme, then unleash a high-pressure burst, displaying a terrifying lethality several times greater than normal.

Most importantly, his Dragon Silk Transformation technique was created by Yin Yue Zhen Ren imitating the National Teacher's *Mi Tian Xue Yu* (Sky Covering Blood Rain) technique, according to his own bloodline compatibility.

There were ten levels in total. Each time a level was completed, an additional silk transformation would be obtained.

The so-called silk transformation meant that when near death, he could instantly heal and return to being uninjured, and his whole body's blood essence power would increase by 50%.

This was his greatest reliance as an Yin spirit, truly able to suppress many of the Qu Ling Prefecture's experts.

At this time, he had been severely injured once, using up one silk transformation, and not only had his whole body recovered as before, but his blood essence had also increased by half. It could be said to be extremely terrifying.

The blood-colored, dazzling Heavenly Star Piercer shot out from Tiancan's hand, drawing a slender, cold blood-colored line, hitting Li Cheng Yi's chest at a terrifying speed of dozens of times the speed of sound.

The blood line of the Heavenly Star Piercer pierced through the bone armor, entered the flower scale armor, passed through the tough skin, muscles, bones, and internal organs, and then pierced through Li Cheng Yi's back, rushing into the sky.

"Very strong..." Li Cheng Yi looked down at the hole in his chest. The Heavenly Star Piercer clearly carried a deadly poison. A large amount of dark red blood shadows were frantically trying to spread and expand from the wound like living creatures.

"This move is much stronger than before."

Moreover, the *Chenmi Zhi Shou* (Hands of Enticement/Submersion) couldn't even affect the other party's actions. Obviously, this flower language, which originated from the strength of consciousness, could no longer keep up with the opponent's increased strength.

"But, unfortunately..." A golden light soon lit up in the hole in his chest. The radiance field, strengthened tenfold by his vitality, was lightly covering this small injury.

Almost instantly, in less than half a second, the wound healed.

Only the holes in the bone armor and flower scale armor remained, indicating that he had indeed been injured just now.

In the imprinted state, his strength had increased greatly, and his body's recovery ability had reached a perverted level.

The second imprint, Gray Bone, was originally derived from the healing *Qing Yuan Dan Qi* (Azure Wish Pill Qi) and deer king qi. Now that it had transformed into an imprint, its healing ability was still present, and had even been enhanced.

If the Heavenly Star Piercer hadn't carried a terrifying poison, the injury might have healed the moment it pierced Li Cheng Yi.

At this time, on the black earth, Tiancan's face also became serious.

The short, rapid exchange of blows just now had made him understand that the guy in front of him was definitely not the small character he had previously thought.

This guy… was already the first generation of blood essence martial artists, the blood essence ancestor who could create a new bloodline family!

"Who exactly are you!?" He suddenly realized that he had not known the other party's identity from beginning to end. He had only received the news of the Ou Yang family being attacked and rushed over immediately.

Then he had been angered and fought with this person.

And until now, he still didn't know this person's name.

"Wang Yi Chen," Li Cheng Yi said. "Now, it's time for the second round."

"Wait!!"

Tiancan instantly remembered the identity of this name and was about to shout to stop him.

But it was too late. A huge three-pronged halberd brought a gust of wind and instantly arrived in front of him.

Ten times the speed of sound!!

The current Li Cheng Yi had finally reached this realm that he could once only look up to.

The three-pronged halberd, which already weighed hundreds of tons, instantly erupted with a terrifying strike of over ten thousand tons under the blessing of this speed!

'*Dragon Sha!*'

Under the eruption of Gentle Qi, the three-pronged halberd in Li Cheng Yi's hand erupted again, and the ten thousand-ton impact instantly doubled, reaching thirty thousand tons!!

The air was wailing, and the earth was trembling.

Tiancan's expression changed drastically. If it had been before, he could have tried to receive it, but after the sudden burst of force, the power brought by the huge three-pronged halberd caused goosebumps to erupt all over his body just from perceiving it.

Without the slightest hesitation, he dodged to the left and tried his best to avoid it.

But the distance was too close, and the moment of hesitation had wasted a lot of time. Even if his speed was much faster than Li Cheng Yi's, it was too late at this time.

The gray-white three-pronged halberd, like gray-white lightning, slammed heavily on the ground beside him.

Unable to dodge in time, Tiancan was brushed by the edge of the three-pronged halberd. His arm immediately felt a chill, and a large piece of the tentacles on one ear was instantly cut off.

The layer of flesh and bone outside his right arm disappeared silently at this moment, and the huge vibration also transmitted to his body.

The force of the flesh tearing forcefully reduced his speed again.

"Heavenly Star Piercer!!" Tiancan struggled to erupt his ultimate move, firing a blood light towards Li Cheng Yi's eyebrows. But he turned his head in time, and the blood thorn pierced through his left cheekbone, flying into the sky from behind.

Unfortunately, this injury only lasted for half a second before automatically healing.

On the contrary, delayed by this, Tiancan's waist was once again struck by the huge three-pronged halberd that had been raised and slashed horizontally.

The blade of the three-pronged halberd, almost as thick as half of his body, slammed into his waist like a heavy hammer with a roar.

*Rumble!!*

With a loud bang,

Tiancan flew out horizontally, but before he could fly far, he was blocked and smashed to the ground by a gray shadow falling from the sky.

That was Li Cheng Yi's shadow flash relay, slamming down with a halberd in mid-air.

Under the eruption of Gentle Qi, the huge force of thirty thousand tons directly smashed through all obstacles, completely blasting apart the middle section of his body.

*Boom!!!*

Tiancan's remaining body turned into a blood shadow, and once again converged in the distance, restoring a new body.

This was the eighth transformation…

It was the second silk transformation, and his blood essence was twice as strong as the beginning. But at this time, Tiancan's face was pale, and he stood silently in the distance, staring at Li Cheng Yi.

Although the silk transformation could continue to strengthen… eventually it could soar to a terrifying height.

But the problem was that he had only cultivated this divine skill to the eighth transformation!
