Just as Yuejun cried out in alarm, Chen Qian, whose body was falling limply, suddenly sprang to his feet and deftly dodged Qi Shen's sharp teeth with a slight dodge before Qi Shen's gaping maw could descend.
"Stupid bird, isn't it too late to realize this now?"
As a faint laugh rang out, Shen Qian, who once again stood proudly in the sky, opened his bright and piercing eyes.
There wasn't a trace of darkness in those eyes.
The Moon Falcon below was stunned, wondering what had happened, when suddenly golden light shone from Shen Qian's body.
The golden light was initially very faint, but it quickly blazed brightly at an astonishing speed, even causing Qi Shen to subconsciously squint his eyes.
When Qi Shen looked again, he saw that Shen Qian's originally broken body was beginning to transform.
Countless fresh, rotten, and broken pieces of flesh peeled away from his body little by little, revealing a perfectly intact body that shimmered with golden light.
Its body shimmered with a metallic sheen, and its lines seemed to contain a primal yet ultimate beauty, causing the Moon Falcon below to momentarily lose its senses.
"You bastard, how dare you fool this god!"
His suspicions came true, and endless shame and anger nearly overwhelmed Qi Shen. He roared about filial piety.
The chaos in Shen Qian's mind had subsided. He raised his hands, feeling the wonderful sensation brought to him by this body that felt like a new life. As for Qi Shen's anger, he simply ignored it.
"Someone who doesn't even have a brain has the audacity to call themselves a god?"
He abandoned martial arts, supernatural powers, and all means, only using the most brute force to clash with Qi Shen. Was he stupid?
Of course not.
If we were to draw an analogy, he was merely using Qi Shen as a hammer, while he himself... was the piece of steel that still needed to be forged and refined!
Even if the serpent god only received one percent of the Nirvana Fire, it was enough to burst Shenqian's body.
The fire scorched the body of the deceased to the brink of decay, but at the same time, it also presented a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The serpent god could directly achieve a leap in bloodline by relying on the power of fire's birth and death, but Chen Qian could not.
He still needs to rely on an external force that is powerful enough but not enough to kill him completely to temper his body and help him complete the final step of his physical evolution.
Qi Shen... is that innocent victim who was kept in the dark.
He could only see that Shen Qian's body contained endless energy, but he did not know that this energy contained the power of life and death.
With the help of Qi Shen's repeated impacts, Shen Qian, who was constantly teetering on the edge of life and death, finally broke through that boundary and completed his final transformation.
His physical body, having just broken through the Mountain and Sea and undergone the baptism of the Dao Sea, completed a second leap in a short period of time!
Under the golden light, in a place unseen by Yuejun and Qishen, a rainbow-like halo flowed within, and his physical body received a comprehensive enhancement in terms of resilience, hardness, and strength.
Before sinking, there was even a feeling.
At this moment, his physical strength alone is comparable to the divine power of the third level of the Calamity Buddha.
Taboo!
After Yuanli and Shenzhili successively entered the legendary forbidden realm, Shenqian's physical body also successfully reached this level.
Just how powerful I am now, even I had no idea before I sank.
The only regret is that even after his physical transformation, a great deal of the energy from the serpent god's Nirvana Fire still remained.
Now that Qi Shen has realized what's happening, it's clear she can no longer foolishly help him temper his body.
However, the goal has already been achieved; one shouldn't be too greedy.
Hearing Shen Qian's mockery, Qi Shen, already enraged, bristled with fur and his limbs crackled with thunder. With a roar, he charged at Shen Qian once more.
Lightning transformed into armor, completely enveloping it.
It was absolutely confident that if Shen Qian dared to confront it head-on again, he would only be instantly reduced to ashes!
"Possessing only a powerful body, an innate lightning physique, and a long lifespan..."
As Shen Qian spoke, his body suddenly swelled up, transforming into a giant nearly four meters tall.
Mysterious black Sanskrit characters flowed around him, and the world was instantly filled with an aura of destruction.
After absorbing the power of life and death from the Nirvana Fire, the "Calamity Buddha" finally broke through the bottleneck and reached the fourth level.
"Yet they completely fail to utilize their abilities and show no ambition..."
As soon as the next round of words fell, Shen Qian's body blurred into afterimages, arriving above Qi Shen with a surprising speed and force. He pulled his right arm back, his hand already clenched into a fist.
"You dare call yourself a god?"
With each angry shout, Chen Qian unleashed a punch that gathered all the remaining energy in his body, along with the power of his newborn body and the blessing of the Calamity Buddha, slamming down heavily.
The fist and the lightning collided, and after a brief stalemate, to the incredulous look in Qi Shen's eyes, its supposedly indestructible lightning armor shattered instantly.
winter!
The powerful punch, still resounding, struck Qi Shen's head, producing a dull, bell-like sound that echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
Everything finally came to a standstill.
At that moment, the image of the young man with flowing hair, so majestic and awe-inspiring above the gods, became the most stunning moment in Yuejun's remaining life, one she could never forget.
I don't know how much time passed.
Accompanied by a strange "kacha" sound, the massive body of Qi Shen, whose eyes had dimmed, developed hideous cracks centered on his fist.
The cracks spread for hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, covering Qi Shen's massive body like a spider web, from which dazzling silver light shone.
