I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 504 Expel God Chasing Ghosts
The might of the Ape Demon Nine Transformations is powerful, and even if a new cultivation technique is breakthrough, the previous transformations won't be obsolete.
Other cultivation techniques might feel like opening a blind box, but as long as the Ape Demon Nine Transformations breakthrough, it will never disappoint Han Zheng.
"How much hunger level is needed to breakthrough the Ape Demon Nine Transformations?"
[Breaking through "Ape Demon Nine: Sea Suppressing" requires 3 million hunger points, and integrating the "Nine Heavens Ape Demon Star Picking Map" essence consumes 1 million hunger points]
Seeing this number, Han Zheng immediately felt it was somewhat outrageous.
Normally, the hunger level spiking tenfold from the Dan Sea Realm to the True Pill Realm is possible, but the Sea Suppressing breakthrough far exceeds tenfold.
Han Zheng has a base of six million hunger points, but even he cannot withstand such consumption.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Zheng first tried cultivating inside the Taotie Furnace.
If these six million hunger points could help him reach the Yang God Realm, he would definitely choose to enter the Yang God Realm first, rather than breakthrough the cultivation technique.
But after Han Zheng tried, he decided to give up on cultivating with the Taotie Furnace.
Refining the Yang God cannot be accomplished overnight.
Han Zheng just consumed ten thousand hunger points, but the progress was barely noticeable.
The previous growth of the divine soul diluted Han Zheng's prior progress in refining the Yang God. According to his estimates, he would need to consume over a million hunger points just to catch up to the progress before it was diluted.
If all six million hunger points were used for cultivation, it would indeed make the Yang God more solid, but the increase in combat power would definitely not compare to breaking through a Yang God Realm technique.
After contemplating for a moment, Han Zheng said in a deep voice, "Breakthrough to Sea Suppression."
As Han Zheng's words fell, the Nine Heavens Ape Demon Star Picking Map manifested in the void, with the ape demon roaring and bellowing at the primal chaos.
However, this time the Nine Heavens Ape Demon Star Picking Map was somewhat different from before. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Previously, when the Nine Heavens Ape Demon Star Picking Map appeared, it would pluck a star and embed it into Han Zheng's body.
But this time, the ape demon extended two giant hands at once, plucking two stars simultaneously and embedding them into Han Zheng's body.
[True Pill Realm "Ape Demon Nine Transformations: Sea Suppressing" breaks through to Yang God Realm "Ape Demon Nine Transformations: Expelling God" and "Ape Demon Nine Transformations: Chasing Ghosts," initial skill level 10%]
Han Zheng was slightly stunned; how did it break through to two techniques? This had never happened before.
Moreover, both techniques were of the Yang God Realm level. Although costly, did he actually profit from it?
Han Zheng meticulously studied the new two forms of Ape Demon Nine Transformations in his mind, and only after a while did he understand what was going on.
Both the Expelling God and Chasing Ghosts techniques are of the Yang God Realm level, their effects extremely similar, targeting Yang God Realm Great Grandmasters and Demon Clan Demon Kings.
Expelling God deploys the unparalleled divine soul power to unleash the ape demon force and dispel the opponent's divine soul.
As long as the opponent exposes their Yang God, under Expelling God, at best their Yang God will be severely damaged, at worst it gets completely dispelled, their realm descends, overpowering beyond measure.
Chasing Ghosts, on the other hand, targets the Demon Clan's Demon Kings.
Demon Kings also refine Yang Gods, but for the Demon Clan, what they refine is not a Yang God, but a Yin God connected to their heart and blood.
Although both use heaven and earth power to refine the three souls and seven spirits, the Demon Clan prefers refining their demon souls at night using moonlight power.
Chasing Ghosts specifically counters the Demon Clan's Yin God, as well as some sinister ghost creatures, having a restraining effect similar to Expelling God.
It can be said that the two techniques, Expelling God and Chasing Ghosts, specifically target Yang God Realm Great Grandmasters and Demon Kings.
After completing the breakthrough in techniques, there remained 1.28 million hunger points inside the Taotie Furnace.
Han Zheng used these hunger points for refining the Yang God.
Previously, when the divine soul expanded, the refining of the Yang God was diluted. Now it was becoming solid again, transforming into a vague humanoid shadow, surrounded by brilliant golden light resembling the blazing sun.
Actually, regarding Han Zheng's current level of Yang God solidity, he is barely at the state of having just entered the Half-step Yang God Realm.
However, because Han Zheng's divine soul is exceptionally powerful, although at this moment his Yang God is only a vague humanoid shadow, it is actually stronger than those martial artists who have been at the threshold of the Yang God Realm for over ten years.
Han Zheng still had some unused merits, so he simply went to the Guardian Storage to exchange all these merits for elixirs used in Yang God Realm cultivation.
These elixirs, which act directly on the divine soul, were quite valuable, but their effects were far inferior to soul crystals.
However, Han Zheng isn't picky, having something is better than nothing.
The remaining time Han Zheng spent researching how to refine the Yang God faster, but unfortunately, he didn't make significant progress.
Yang God Realm cultivation is vastly different from the True Pill Realm.
The True Pill Realm focuses on the True Pill as the core, accumulating strength continuously, emphasizing physical cultivation.
Simply put, it's like water mill work, testing one's cultivation talent.
Like Sheng Tian'an, a genius who at eighteen entered the True Pill Realm, progressed at lightning speed in cultivation, but over the following decade, never reached the Yang God Realm threshold.
What truly allowed him to enter the Yang God Realm was a sudden epiphany following significant changes at home, finally reaching the threshold, and leveraging the entire accumulation of the Duke An Mansion to enter the Yang God Realm.
Therefore, compared to the True Pill Realm, the most important factors for the Yang God Realm are enlightenment and opportunity, not painstaking cultivation.
Han Zheng's opportunity is considered favorable.
Some took over ten years to reach the Yang God Realm threshold, while Han Zheng, thanks to the Blood God Seed, took just an instant.
Han Zheng lacks no enlightenment, but he is just beginning to understand the Yang God Realm, and thus cannot significantly improve after enlightenment, so he progresses slowly, cautiously refining the Yang God.
There are quite a few cultivation notes in the Demon Cleansing Bureau, and Han Zheng also consulted Yan Xuankong about some Yang God Realm cultivation issues, but unfortunately, they weren't very helpful.
When martial artists reach the True Pill Realm and achieve the grandmaster title, they gradually begin to forge a path unique to themselves.
Upon reaching the Yang God Realm, the discrepancies between different martial artists become larger, and the references become fewer.
Therefore, Han Zheng cultivated steadily for nearly two months, during which no tasks came looking for Han Zheng.
Earlier, Han Zheng had missions too frequently, just started a vacation, yet eradicated the Black Feather Building, leaving Jing'an Guard almost no time to relax.
Even if the Demon Cleansing Bureau was short of people, Qi Zhangwu wouldn't just exploit Jing'an Guard alone, so this time he took it as giving Han Zheng a long break.
During this period, some minor tasks were also assigned to other guards to handle.
At this moment, Chu Xinghe suddenly knocked on the door, calling Han Zheng out of his closed cultivation state.
"Sir, the Grand Commander's side sent someone looking for you, and it seems quite urgent."
Han Zheng pushed open the door and asked, "I've been in closed cultivation recently, did anything major happen outside?"
Chu Xinghe thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem like anything major happened; since the Black Feather Building was eradicated, those underground forces have been silent, not daring to cause trouble.
Even the nobles in the Capital who are dissatisfied didn't dare to impeach our Demon Cleansing Bureau on the court, and the Grand Commander's words scared them so much they didn't dare to speak up.
For these two months, not only did nothing happen, but on the surface, it's even more peaceful than before."
Han Zheng nodded.
If nothing's happening in the Capital, it's probably something big happening locally.
Otherwise, with Qi Zhangwu's lazy personality, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to find him.
As Han Zheng entered Qi Zhangwu's study, aside from Qi Zhangwu, there was also an old man wearing a gray robe, with white hair and beard.
This old man was Chu Xinghe's great-grandfather, Guardian Elder Chu Tianyuan from the Elder Court.
At this moment, both of them were frowning. Seeing Han Zheng arrive, only then did Qi Zhangwu's frown slightly ease.
"Subordinate greets Grand Commander and Elder Chu."
Han Zheng cupped his hands, greeting them one by one.
Qi Zhangwu waved a hand, picked up a document, and said in a deep voice, "No need for formalities, I called you today for an urgent task that needs handling.
An incident has occurred in the Southern Mountain, requiring reinforcements from the Capital to stabilize the situation.
You are originally from the Southern Mountain, and know the martial world situation there best.
Therefore, I plan to send you and Wen Tingyun from the Divine Guard to the Southern Mountain to stabilize the situation."
