Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

"That’s... Chen Ku has been pulled into the ’Law Domain’ by the power of Forbidden Technique..."

Everyone in the Destruction Tower saw Chen Ku’s figure disappear into the projection outlined by their Qi Mechanism.

"By chance, he stumbled upon the right way to comprehend the power of Forbidden Technique."

Elder Chang Mei pondered and said:

"The power of Forbidden Technique inherently requires contact with the ’Primordial Magic Chain’ to detect its presence. However, for hundreds of years, many disciples haven’t even sensed where the Primordial Magic Chain exists within the Forbidden Technique Sky Pool. Yet, unexpectedly, Chen Ku, with his extraordinary talent, actually perceived the power of laws and lured out the Primordial Magic Chain. This method... seems like it could be emulated by future generations."

The Destruction Tower Master remained silent.

This sounds simple, but mastering laws is not as straightforward as mastering spells.

Even for cultivators from rival Yuan Country, they need to reach at least the Fourteen Realms and Ascension Realm to utilize laws. Other than that, most Qi cultivators barely touch the Law Domain within the Thirteen Realms, which is their limit.

Furthermore, according to this method, Destruction Tower needs to have disciples who practice the path of Qi Cultivation, reaching the Thirteenth Realm before they can even start practicing the Forbidden Technique spell, making it extremely circuitous.

Elder Chang Mei seemed to realize that the method he spoke of was not very effective and remained silent.

"Last time, the Tower Master stayed in the Primordial Magic Chain Domain for only three days before being expelled, deemed unfit... I wonder how long this Chen Ku can practice within it? Can he master the power of Forbidden Technique?"

...

While the elders and Duan Xiaolou anticipated Chen Ku’s achievements.

They were unaware.

Amidst a golden sea, Chen Ku’s body was dragged into this place, penetrating through eight chains descending from eight positions into the eight extremities of his body.

And at the end of his gaze was a giant turtle as large as a mountain range, like a mobile reef mountain. Its azure-black shell was covered with ferocious bone spurs, each tip crystallizing golden.

The eight bronze chains binding Chen Ku were not hidden within the giant turtle but coiled around the four limbs that resembled heavenly pillars, gently weaving.

Every time the chains collided, thunder roared between heaven and earth!

"Here is..."

Chen Ku was both shocked and alarmed, most importantly, he felt the eight bronze chains binding him were actually extracting his lifespan and vitality.

Making him feel as if he was sealed here, unable to use his divine skills or mighty physical strength.

Only the hot golden light in his left eye continued to swirl fiercely.

"Give it my all!"

Chen Ku instinctively sensed something seemed wrong, for he heard the giant turtle’s anger seemed targeted at his left eye, which was his true eye.

However, at this moment, it seemed that only the power from his left eye could be utilized.

Whoosh!

Chen Ku’s left pupil burst out with blazing golden light, the Heavenly Realm Eye cracked spider-web patterns under the chains of the Eight Desolate Prison Sky Lock.

"What, these chains can actually crack the power of the left eye?"

He was even more shaken.

"What use is the Heavenly Person’s Eye when faced with the Emperor’s True Dragon Treasure Technique? It’s nothing but an empty shell..."

The giant turtle’s voice was heavy, like continental collision.

"Heavenly Person’s Eye, Emperor’s True Dragon Treasure Technique..."

Chen Ku was shocked that Master Changrong’s eye had lost effectiveness here, yet he also captured some key information.

Emperor’s True Dragon Treasure Technique?...

From its tone, it seemed related to the Ancient Emperor.

His thoughts swiftly raced; could this giant turtle...

Additionally, he vaguely felt these chains seemed to resonate with his Golden Dragon Transformation.

"Incarnation of Heaven’s villain, unexpectedly my residual soul, harboring within the enemy’s eye for ten thousand years, can still personally vanquish another Heavenly Realm life today!"

The giant turtle raised its mountain-like head, seemingly pleased.

"Die, Heavenly Realm little villain!"

With these words spoken.

The eight chains binding Chen Ku simultaneously pierced towards his heart!

When the eighth chain was about to penetrate Chen Ku’s heart.

Suddenly!

Roar~~~

A resonant and powerful dragon roar suddenly erupted from Chen Ku’s body, and the black-cloaked youth once constrained by chains.

Suddenly, golden scales began growing over his body; his head elongated into a golden dragon’s head.

Limbs transformed into dragon claws!

His entire body rapidly expanded, morphing into a golden Divine Dragon bound in the heavens.

Boom~~~

Chen Ku performed the shape-shifting of Golden Dragon Transformation for the first time, transforming himself into a golden Divine Dragon, his figure spanning a thousand feet, coiled in the void.

At this moment, an incomparably domineering yet sacred pressure radiated from his body, rolling out tangibly.

Boom!

When the giant turtle saw the dragon head grow from Chen Ku, its massive pupil shrunk to a black dot, then witnessed Chen Ku’s true form emerge as a golden Divine Dragon.

The sacred and domineering dragon might descended.

The giant turtle, like a mountain, knelt down with a deafening thud, and the Returning Ruins Inscriptions on its back peeled away:

"You..."

Its gaze suddenly filled with shock and fervor.

"Dragon Energy! It’s a Golden Dragon body! You, you’re not a villain from the Heavenly Realm, you’re a descendant of the Emperor?!"

At this moment, Chen Ku transformed into a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, although bound by eight chains, he looked down upon the mountain-like giant turtle below, speaking:

"I am indeed not a Heavenly Realm being, but rather a True Disciple of the Destruction Tower. This left eye was obtained by chance from a Heavenly Realm life; who are you? This is Forbidden Technique Sky Pool; I entered here for trial, hoping to master the power of Forbidden Technique. Why do you want to kill me? And what do you mean by calling me a Heavenly Realm villain?"

The words from his dragon mouth seemed inherently filled with immense authority.

The giant turtle’s voice trembled, muttering:

"Qiu Dragon, Flood Dragon, Azure Dragon, Golden Dragon, Yinglong, you are already a Golden Dragon body, then even in Ancient Era, you are a Dragon King, not inferior, not inferior indeed."

Chen Ku’s dragon eyes subtly flickered, saying: "You have not yet answered my question."

The giant turtle suddenly raised its head, meeting Chen Ku’s gaze, retorted in a deep voice:

"I am a Taisui under the True Dragon, once a human race, due to cultivating ’Sea Covering Turtle Form’, also honored as ’Ao Taixui’."

"True Dragon?"

Chen Ku was moved, said:

"True Dragon, does it refer to the Ancient Emperor?"

"Exactly, there is only one True Dragon, the Ancient Emperor."

The giant turtle claiming to be Ao Taixui slowly said:

"In Ancient Times, the True Dragon descended from heaven, unified the world, conquered the Nine Directions, established the human realm, was the sovereign respected by both heaven and earth, even those from the thirty-six layers of heaven once submitted for a time."

"Thirty-six layers of heaven?"

Chen Ku was deeply shaken:

"Are you saying that Heavenly Realm beings once were subordinates of the True Dragon in Ancient Era? Then why are they high above today and not living in the human realm anymore?"

"That’s because at the end of Ancient Era, a great disaster involving Heavenly Persons erupted."

Ao Taixui’s gaze fell on Chen Ku’s left eye:

"This eye sphere world is evidence left in the human world after that war; back then, I singly used the True Dragon’s bestowed treasure technique of ’Eight Desolate Prison Sky Lock’, fighting against two Fourteen Realm Heavenly Persons, yet could not withstand their ultimate ’Eye Technique’, leading to my body and soul’s destruction, leaving only a thin thread of soul. Protected by a Dragon Scale left by True Dragon, fused within one of these Heavenly Realm eyes, surviving to this day."

Chen Ku took a deep breath.

The amount of information here was overwhelming.
