Chapter 2528: Chapter 526: Dragon and Snake Prison
Ever since obtaining this body refining method, Gandalf had been working tirelessly.
Finally, he completed his task before advancing to the eighth-circle.
"Without the Dragon Elephant Holy Body and the fire element oddities I refined, it would have been impossible to complete the fusion so quickly."
Gandalf stood up.
He spread his palm, where new body-refining runes gathered into dragon-snake scale-like objects.
He struck with the Sun King’s Sword, producing a crisp sound of metal against metal.
He kept increasing the force, creating a resounding sword hum.
Eventually, Gandalf stopped.
His body could withstand it, but the Level 7 Treasure couldn’t.
This was his now powerful refining body!
In a moment of thought, his entire body became covered in dark golden dragon-snake scales, with countless body-refining runes shining brightly.
Behind him, appeared an illusionary ancient god resembling intertwining dragons and snakes.
The ancient god appeared majestic, with one arm encircling a dragon, the other a snake, one foot on fire, the other on wind.
Behind it, surging waves rose, like a world-ending flood.
This aura surpassed even the previous Dragon God.
Gandalf felt as if he could smash a Level 8 Demon with one punch.
Perhaps... this was not an illusion.
With his Seven Rings Perfection and this ancient, dazzling body refining method,
he might just be able to do it!
Deep Blue, Eight-Armed Demon God, Nine-Headed Prison Snake, Ten-winged Sky Dragon!
So many excellent body refining methods, integrated within him.
This power was absolutely terrifying!
"This body refining method might just touch the threshold of legendary..."
Gandalf murmured, a realization dawning upon him.
He was just a step away from creating a true body refining method that directly pointed to the legendary realm.
Once mastered, it would far surpass the ordinary legendary wizards.
Perhaps it could give birth to an unprecedented legendary profession.
The missing step was represented by the Earth’s "Thousand-Eyed Titan Body Tempering Technique"!
"I’ll call this body refining method ’Dragon and Snake Prison Suppressing Divine Skill’."
Gandalf felt that the traditional "body refining method" name couldn’t encompass the meaning of this method.
Here, "God" does not refer to a Faith God.
It is instead a self-god, strengthening oneself, embodying thirty-six thousand gods within.
Every body-refining rune is a part of him, and no one can take it away.
This is another form of "bloodline power."
Once he solidified his realm, Gandalf arrived in the Nightmare World.
Lopez was sparring with Emperor Mu.
Emperor Mu transformed into the divine beast Zhu Yan, wielding a divine staff.
The giant beast, akin to a blend of ape and lion, was surrounded by a red fluid similar to the flaming clouds of the pure-blooded Dragon Clan.
These were the power of the Spirits Sect.
"Drunk Ape Martial Arts·Sky Opening!"
Emperor Mu wielded a mighty staff, swinging it with immense force.
Lopez casually parried, swatting aside the flashy attack.
Then, pinpointing an opening, Lopez jabbed with a bone club, bursting Emperor Mu in an explosion.
"You’re cheating, you definitely weren’t just at a Level 7 Early Stage strength just now... I’ll be back!"
Emperor Mu transformed into light and logged off, his unwilling voice still echoing in the battlefield.
Lopez chuckled; it had indeed unlocked its suppressed realm "just a tad."
In the same realm, it was becoming increasingly challenging to deal with Emperor Mu.
Feeling that it wouldn’t take long before it was no longer Emperor Mu’s match.
This was the power of the Mythical Breathing Skill.
One had to admit, Emperor Mu’s Drunk Ape Martial Arts were strong.
Perfectly integrating and utilizing the Essence Sect’s Absolute Skill with knight battle skills.
Over the years, even Elena needed to consult Emperor Mu.
She planned to further develop based on the "Floral Secret Scripture."
Creating a [Floral Swordsmanship].
"Lopez, come try me out." Gandalf rolled up his sleeves.
Sending away Emperor Mu wasn’t a big deal, seeing Gandalf, Lopez was eager to try.
"Alright!"
Boom! Gandalf shot out like an arrow, an explosive wave, shattering the void.
Reappearing behind Lopez.
"King Bright Dragon Elephant Fist!"
He casually punched, unexpectedly striking with forty dragons and forty elephants!
On one hand, it was due to previously refining the [Titan’s Blood].
More importantly, it was due to the transformation brought by the "Dragon and Snake Prison Suppressing Divine Skill."
Boom! Lopez was taken aback.
As the Dragon Palace’s top spar pal, it often sparred with Gandalf.
Until recently, Gandalf needed to fully exert himself to strike forty dragon elephants.
And now, it was so effortless.
Truly the King of Body Refining!
It swung its bone club sideways, blocking in front.
The giant dragon-elephant force launched it flying, landing in the field behind.
"Good, good!"
Lopez, instead of being alarmed, rejoiced; aside from the Red King, it finally had a worthy opponent.
"Come try my self-created ’Mountain Shifting Divine Scripture’!"
With supreme battle skill talent, high comprehension, and constantly sparring with these men,
it had already become a transcendent creature proficient in combat skills, akin to "Dragon Swordman·Matthew."
The earth-shattering battle made the Dragon Palace people cheer, even starting to gamble with coins.
After ten thousand rounds, Lopez had to use spell-like abilities to suppress Gandalf.
In the end, Gandalf was slightly inferior, sent back to reality by Lopez.
In the pharmacy, he opened his eyes.
Lopez, after all, was a Legendary level creature, truly not inferior in strength to a Level 8 Mid Stage.
The realm difference was there, being able to battle for ten thousand rounds was already sufficient.
His spiritual force was also not too far from the maximum.
Next was to make a vigorous push to reach the eighth-circle.
Then to develop the "Purple Crystal Body Refining Technique" into a high-level Chapter, exchanging for the Sun Refining Body Artifact.
After this, the path would be clear.
...
Hell’s Eighth Layer.
Black King City.
"Brother, are you about to reach the ninth-circle?"
The Purgatory Demon Sword’s eyes were full of admiration.
A while ago, he had also reached a Seven Rings Perfect Realm in cultivation.
But there was still quite a distance to the eighth-circle.
And Levi, who was about the same back then, could now sweep through the Gloomy Wind Divine Palace.
This difference was truly despairing.
"Almost... your advancement speed isn’t slow either." Levi consoled.
"Brother, this is the intelligence I gathered on the Emperor of Torture, are you planning to act against it?"
"No, it’s your enemy, naturally you should solve it yourself. I’m investigating it because of other matters... but if it seeks death, I might avenge you prematurely."
"Understood, thank you, brother."
The next morning.
The Hell squad’s work report was completed.
The development momentum of the two major tribes was good, incorporating many weaker tribes.
Under the intentional guidance of the Demon Fox Main Mother and the Ghost Elephant Master.
The Master of Demon Fox and the Sky Supporting Giant Elephant had also secretly reached a cooperation not long ago.
Due to the butterfly effect brought by the Great Plane Convergence, Hell’s situation was also turbulent.
Between the Seventy-Two Pillars, there was mutual scheming and forming of small groups.
The ninth levels often attached themselves to the tenth levels.
For instance, the Emperor of Torture and the Second Pillar, Radiant Prison Dragon King Bah, were very close.
In the past, the one who battled the Purgatory Black King Dragon was this Second Pillar.
And the Demon Fox and Elephant had recently also aligned with the Sixth Pillar, Beast Lord·Bimong.
Naturally, nine-level undead creatures like Lady White Bone clung to the leg of Death Knight·Yalon.
The entire Hell had a foreboding atmosphere like a storm brewing.
