"Good!" Yang Ji no longer tried to persuade. Having cultivated for hundreds of years, he had naturally developed a certain decisiveness and courage. With the words of the Immortal Elder coming to this point, any hesitation or indecision on his part could prevent him from achieving greatness.
Looking at the bigger picture, keeping the Pure Yang waters of the lake for himself was indeed a boon.
Yang Ji briefly observed the star he was on, unsure of which star domain he had arrived at, and he had no ti for deeper contemplation at the mont.
Transforming into a streak of light, he dove into the bottom of the star and hid himself. Only then did he enter the Mount Sea World and begin to refine the Heart of the Ancient God.
The Heart of the Ancient God was teeming with vitality, its residual blood pulsating non-stop, thumping loudly within it.
The heart was the size of a head, and Yang Ji didn't know how to incorporate it into his body for refinent. Just holding it for a mont, his own heart's beating frequency gradually synchronized with that of the Ancient God's heart, resonating in unison.
Thump, thump, thump!
Yang Ji found himself unable to control his heartbeat, as the blood flow in his body sped up. With each heartbeat, his blood surged violently, and suddenly, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, splashing onto the Heart of the Ancient God.
It was at this mont that sothing miraculous occurred—the Heart of the Ancient God in the palm of his hand turned into a streak of light and rged into his body.
This streak of light followed the blood vessels in his palm, rapidly reaching his heart, where the Heart of the Ancient God materialized and began to rge with his own heart.
Yang Ji watched this scene in astonishnt, feeling no danger, and he did not try to stop it.
The fusion of the two hearts, one large and one small, happened more quickly than expected. In just about ten breaths, a red light burst forth from the area of his heart, and the two hearts had already rged into one—a new heart identical in size to his original heart.
It was then that the Blood of the Ancient God flowed out, swiftly perating Yang Ji's entire body—his blood, bones, skin, ridians, the Blood of the Ancient God infiltrated and rged thoroughly, with the Ancient God's power intermingling with Yang Ji's flesh.
In an instant, Yang Ji's entire body began to expand.
Every muscle, every tendon, every blood vessel, and every inch of skin swelled up at an unimaginable rate.
In the blink of an eye, he had grown three tis his original size, his body resembling a peeled elephant—bloody and terrifyingly red.
Large tendons wrapped around his body, veins bulged out, each tendon and vessel resembling a five-clawed blood dragon, terrifying with bared fangs and claws.
Because of the expansion, rings of blood-colored mist were forcibly squeezed from his body, condensing into golden runes that circled around him.
"Such formidable power, it has even stretched my body that could compare to a Dao Device. If I hadn't cultivated the Humanoid Weapon, I would have likely exploded instantaneously!"
Yang Ji was secretly shocked, trying his best to operate the Cultivation Technique to reorganize the rampaging blood and qi within his body.
But the thumping of the heart interfered with the operation of his Cultivation Technique.
Bang!
Finally, unable to suppress the roaring power inside, his entire body burst open at once—arms, legs, chest, organs, head—all exploded, completely shattered into a mist of blood.
The Heart of the Ancient God, condensed with the life force of the Ancient God of Nine Stars, was overwhelmingly mighty. Despite an era's worth of depletion, it was still staggeringly vast, so much so that Yang Ji's body, comparable to a Dao Device, could not contain it and exploded.
However, after the explosion, the blood mist enveloped his Primordial Spirit, and suddenly, Yang Ji had an epiphany; he realized so of the mysteries of the physical body.
Flesh transford, the body reconstructed, refined and rged, adapted to each other!
The explosion of the body might not be a bad thing; it signified the Blood of the Ancient God achieving perfect integration with his flesh.
In just a mont, amidst the surging blood mist, the blood that had beco mist began to condense into golden runes, intertwining with each other.
Under the push of the imnse life force, his skull, internal organs, ridians, bones, and apertures all reassembled once again.
In just three breaths, the exploded body had reford.
A much more powerful body, a perfect body, a body brimming with life force, marked by the Blood of the Ancient God, had erged anew.
The mont Yang Ji's head took shape, a strong aura emanated from every pore.
Thump, thump, thump!
Listening to the vigorous heartbeat, Yang Ji felt his own vast life force. He set his heart beating at an extre speed, shaking a terrifying ten thousand tis in a single breath.
Because of this terrifying frequency of vibration, the surrounding air currents tore apart, causing shockwaves and explosions everywhere. The Bai Xiang, Qing Shi, giant Peng, Crystal Scorpion, Jin Gang, as well as the group of Serpents, imdiately clutched their chests and scread in agony, bleeding from all seven orifices, as if they were about to explode and die at any mont.
Bai Xiang and the other two turned ghostly pale, gasping, "Master! Master!"
Even the Buddha Child, whose mind was protected by the Buddha-Demon, showed a painful expression, staring at Yang Ji in horror.
Upon hearing their cries, Yang Ji instantly stopped the extrely rapid vibrations of his heartbeat. Engrossed in cultivation, he cast a doubtful glance at them, still unaware of the situation.
Only when he saw them clutching their hearts with pained expressions did he realize what had happened.
Touching his chin, Yang Ji fell into deep thought. He could feel that the heart vibrating tens of thousands of tis in an instant was not the limit. Could he kill a Quasi True Successor in one shot by vibrating it a hundred thousand tis?
He didn't know, but he did know that although he hadn't inherited the Ancient God's legacy, it seed he had acquired a Supre Divine Power — the heartbeat vibration!
He called it — Life Resonance!
The seemingly harmonious four characters were actually filled with lethal intent.
Such thoughts had barely flickered through his mind when his body swelled up once more and then exploded again.
Explode, reform, explode, reform...
Within the ti it took an incense stick to burn, Yang Ji had gone through this cycle over a hundred tis.
With constant explosions and reformations, he found that most of the impurities within his body had been purged, three acupoints had been opened, and several of the ridians and hidden veins throughout his body had been cleared.
The power of the Ancient God was too strong, and his flesh had no place to contain it. During the process of exploding and reforming, his ridians and acupoints were unintentionally burst open.
This discovery thrilled Yang Ji.
So acupoints were extrely difficult to open and required the cultivation of special techniques and Divine Skills.
Yang Ji was able to open them solely thanks to his current radical approach of constant explosion and reformation.
He was also lucky that the Heart of the Ancient God had fused into his body, bestowing upon him an imnse life force. Had a normal person exploded like this a few tis, they would surely have been grievously wounded if not outright killed.
Although every explosion brought excruciating pain, Yang Ji beca more and more elated.
He noticed that with each cycle of explosion and reformation, the Ancient God's power integrated more deeply with his flesh.
In this way, exploding and reforming, three years passed in a flash.
In those three years, he didn't know how many tis he had exploded and reford; he had almost beco numb to it.
He only knew that on this day, his body finally returned to normal and stopped swelling.
During these three years, under the impact of the Ancient God's power, he had managed to open three hundred and sixty-five major acupoints throughout his body, including the Heavenly Opening, the Whirling Jade, the Heavenly Cover, the Jade Hall, the Great Void, and the Divine Center, as well as countless hidden channels beyond the twelve main ridians and the Eight Extraordinary ridians.
Each major acupoint was filled with boundless life force, vast as an ocean, circulating in endless hidden channels and flesh.
The strength of his life force was such that Yang Ji felt his body was nearly sentient.
Now, if his palm were to be chopped off, it would instantly regrow a new one without him feeling the slightest pain.
His body could explode into a mist of blood and instantly reassemble.
With a single thought, his body would disperse with a rustling sound, breaking down into particles so fine that, just like the Heavenly Demon, he could achieve an intangible and formless existence. He was able to perform the Great Body Disintegration Technique of the Heavenly Demons effortlessly, which was utterly terrifying.
The Humanoid Weapon had given him a physique as hard as a Dao Device, and the Heart of the Ancient God brought him life force to the extre.
At this mont, he truly possessed the Immortal Body. No one of the sa rank could kill him, not even those in the stages of Divinity Transformation or Void Refining. Only suppression could contain him.
"The body can turn into particles, coming together and scattering with but a thought! Yang Ji, congratulations on obtaining the Immortal Body. Right now, if soone were to cut you in two, you would be unhard, and your divided body could instantly heal. You have beco impervious to all physical attacks, possessing the ability to divide your body and reassemble at will.
If your Primordial Spirit could reach immortality, that would truly be remarkable. Then you wouldn't need to leave your Primordial Spirit in an Immortal Artifact; you could simply store a body particle containing all your information anywhere and be able to cultivate anew." The Immortal Elder clicked his tongue in admiration.
"Immortal Primordial Spirit?" Yang Ji pondered inwardly, then suddenly his gaze lifted, piercing through the surface of the stars, "Soone's coming!"
