Chapter 835: 642 Picking up bargains, Mosquito Daoist_2 at the critical moment of transformation.

At the same time, the phantom images of the cycle stars became increasingly condensed, causing the surrounding space to constantly solidify.

Suddenly, an immense and boundless starry sky formed right before Jiang Chen’s eyes.

"The power of this formation has exceeded my estimation, and I’m not sure if it can deal with a Great Divine Transcendents, but to refine and kill a Quasi-Saint at the early stage or even at the later stage seems not difficult."

Below the grand array, Jiang Chen was astonished by the power of this starry sky, sensing that should it erupt, he would struggle to avoid a fatal downfall.

"Eh, the forces of the four major star patterns actually show a trend of merging into one."

"This is interesting; unexpectedly, the Cycle Star Array is so mystical that it can disregard the power of Saints and directly combine the forces of the four major star patterns into one."

"The two Saints who left behind their methods would probably never have imagined that their means would be deciphered by me in such a manner."

Suddenly, a serendipitous discovery filled Jiang Chen with surprise and delight.

As the formation operated, he could perceive the might of the four Innate Divine Patterns being continuously stimulated, growing stronger within the starry sky and showing a tendency to coalesce into a unified and more vast force. That was the kind of power only an Innate Treasure could unleash.

Of course, the restrictions left by the two Saints were still in place; the four star patterns had not merged. What merged were their powers.

They were using this method to circumvent the restrictions of Saints with the power of the formation and reveal a might comparable to that of an Innate Treasure.

"It seems that in the upcoming Mystic Sect calamity, the experts of the Mystic Sect will suffer a great loss."

A smile couldn’t help but appear on Jiang Chen’s face. He knew that no matter which expert the Mystic Sect sent to deal with him next, even if it were a Great Divine Transcendents, they would no longer be his match.

While an Innate Treasure was indeed powerful, it wasn’t enough for Jiang Chen to contend with Great Divine Transcendents. However, Jiang Chen had more than just Innate Treasures; he also possessed a vast number of Chaos Origin Pills.

As the creator of the Chaos Origin Pill, Jiang Chen had over the years accumulated a great many of them. Chaos Origin Pills could be used not only for cultivation but also to stimulate the power of Innate Treasures.

If Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents were indeed sent against Jiang Chen, he would not hesitate to deplete the Chaos Origin Pills at all costs to fully unleash the might of the Innate Treasure.

He refused to believe that millions of Chaos Origin Pills, when spent, wouldn’t be able to harm a Great Divine Transcendents; if millions were not enough, then he would use billions.

What Jiang Chen currently had in abundance were Chaos Origin Pills—such was the advantage of being the creator. As more Chaos Origin Pills appeared in the Prehistoric World, the number in Jiang Chen’s possession would only increase.

It wasn’t just about the ones he had created himself. Other Chaos Origin Pills, too, would find their way into his hands through various means.

Apart from Jiang Chen himself, no one knew that his greatest trump card was never any Divine Artifact or Innate Treasure, but rather the unimaginable quantity of Chaos Origin Pills he held.

...

With a flick of his finger, Jiang Chen sent the Blood Godzi into the center of the starry sky to emit a faint glow, attracting Mosquito Daoist’s arrival.

Time passed by, minute by second.

The Blood Godzi’s aura spread farther and wilder, quickly permeating the entire Three Realms and extending towards the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, and even into the deeper recesses of the void.

At the same time, in the deepest depths of the void, in a place mysterious and unknowable, a huge blood-colored fierce beast lay sleeping quietly.

It was a place of wonder where the concepts of space and time were exceedingly faint, almost non-existent, and where material presence was scarce, even devoid of Spiritual Energy, very close to a state of "nothingness."

In this marvelous location slumbered a gigantic blood-colored fierce beast.

Hu~~ Hu~~

This beast, with a blood-red body resembling a large mosquito, undulated steadily, producing loud breathing sounds.

As it breathed, golden light began to burst forth from its body, continuously refining its flesh and gradually eradicating the Sha Qi within, making it purer.

It was clear to see that, with each breath, wisps of Sha Qi were expelled, and the beast’s body was subtly diminishing in size amidst an imperceptible fluctuation.

This is the Mosquito Daoist. Ever since he devoured the petals of the twelve-grade merit golden lotus, he has been hiding here, sleeping until now.

During this period, his strength has not only failed to improve, but has actually declined a great deal compared to his past. However, his innate nature has become even more concentrated, exuding an aura that is both divine and noble.

Under the halo of this aura, the Mosquito Daoist seems not so much a Hongmeng fierce beast, but rather like an innate god.

The Mosquito Daoist is undergoing a transformation, leveraging the power of the twelve-grade merit golden lotus to completely eradicate his innate ferocity and Sha Qi, to reinvent himself from his fierce beast form to an innate divine demon, thereby shedding his flaws.

This was the Mosquito Daoist’s original purpose in devouring the twelve-grade merit golden lotus, to use its power to transform himself. It was also the reason why he devoured the Turtle Spirit Saint Mother.

The Turtle Spirit Saint Mother is an innate divine demon. The essence of her flesh and blood contains extremely high energy, which is precisely what the Mosquito Daoist needed to compensate for the energy consumption during his transformation.

And now, the Mosquito Daoist was nearing success. With a little more time, he would complete the transformation, cast off his identity as a fierce beast, and emerge into the world as an innate divine demon.

But at this moment, an extremely tempting fragrance, traversing various spaces, arrived at this strange place and floated to the nose of the Mosquito Daoist.

"Inhale, inhale..."

"What is this scent? It’s so fragrant, I really want to devour it."

The Mosquito Daoist’s eyes suddenly opened, and he unconsciously muttered to himself.

"Ah, no good..."

But almost immediately, the Mosquito Daoist seemed to realize something, and suddenly woke up, his face showing a look of terror.

"Someone is plotting against me, trying to lure me out with the scent of blood, detestable, who is so malicious to plot against me at this time..."

The Mosquito Daoist struggled, on one hand using his divine abilities to seal off his sense of smell, and on the other suppressing his instincts, trying to maintain lucidity.

But, unfortunately, the fragrance was truly too tempting. Even though the Mosquito Daoist sealed his five senses, it was in vain as the scent directly targeted his true spirit, incessantly beckoning to his instincts.

"Ah, I hate this, I was just one step away from success, just a little more time and I could have completely freed myself, wandering the world as an innate divine demon..."

"Damn it, the heavens are unfair, why do this to me..."

The Mosquito Daoist let out a roar, ultimately unable to complete the final transformation. His consciousness was insufficient to suppress his instincts, and after struggling for a while, his ferocity as a fierce beast took over, completely engulfing his mind.

"I’m so hungry, I haven’t absorbed fresh blood in a long time, I’m so hungry, I need blood, blood..."

The Mosquito Daoist’s eyes suddenly became blood-red and full of ferocity. Then, he stirred his three pairs of wings at his back, traversed through layers of space, and flew towards where Jiang Chen was.

...

...

For a fierce beast to become an innate divine demon is an act more defiant than for an acquired living being to transform into an innate divine demon, something that Heaven and Earth do not permit. The Mosquito Daoist, attempting to do so, naturally had to face a calamitous tribulation.

And now, his tribulation had erupted, swift and ferocious, and as soon it began, it turned into a death tribulation.

Yes, a death tribulation!

The Mosquito Daoist had even anticipated that this tribulation would become his death tribulation, which is why he cried out in sorrow, resenting the unfairness of the heavens.

The reason is straightforward: because this was his most vulnerable moment, the transformation was at a crucial point, his power completely depleted, and his strength plummeting to the bottom, not even one ten-thousandth of his peak.

In such a state, it was unknown whether he could maintain the power of an Innate Dao Sovereign, so how could he confront the great tribulation that was imminent?

If the tribulation had not come, it would be fine, but once it did, it was a death tribulation.
