Chapter 217: Chapter 217: The Center of Attention【Extra Update】

Wang Zijia’s expression remained unchanged. As his eyes gleamed with a cold flash, a blood-stained book page emerged from his forehead.

He glanced up at the sky, then released the suppression on his cultivation.

At the same time, in a daze, he transferred the value he’d just given his spiritual roots to his cultivation.

"Cultivation Value Degree +4356!"

His Dao Foundation, which was already on the edge of condensation, was completely refined at this moment. Under the cover of the gleaming light from the bloodstained book page, Wang Zijia began to float.

With the sudden increase in Cultivation Value Degree, it seemed as though Wang Zijia was being initiated like he was in a magic ceremony from the book page.

Blood-red, lava-like liquid, but with a vivid color of fresh blood, spurted out from Wang Zijia’s body like a volcanic eruption.

It spread around, forming a large field of blood-red spiritual light particles. The particles revolved around the floating Wang Zijia, like they were paying tribute to a sovereign.

As the particles converged on his body, blood-red crystals continued to grow, cover, and construct on the surface of his body. Wang Zijia, in mid-float, continuously grew larger, gradually losing his human form.

In the blink of an eye, he went from 1.89 meters tall to a three-meter giant.

His entire body was covered in blood-red crystals that appeared as cracked scales. Within the gaps, dark red blood flowed like molten rock.

While overall he retained a humanoid silhouette, his head looked like a demon, with ghost eyes, pointed ears, beyond his blood-red meat sprout hair, and on top of his head, there were two mini horns.

The meat sprout-like blood-red hair seemed alive, squirming slightly, swaying gently in the wind.

An overwhelmingly violent and powerful momentum seeped out from Wang Zijia, spreading an inscrutable wave.

As the wave spread, Wang Zijia slowly opened his eyes.

His demon-like pupils were golden, exuding endless nobility and mystique, making people instinctively want to kneel before him.

A unique air of royalty was born from his body. Like a demon king, one glance at him would instinctively make one want to kneel.

Despite possessing an ugly demonic body, there wasn’t a slice of evil to be sensed. Only righteousness, nobility, and magnanimity; not even an iota of loathing could arise.

He seemed like a sovereign holding a court, looking down at all beings.

······

The spectators outside were left utterly stupefied by this spectacle.

"What... What is this?"

"It feels somewhat evil..."

A group of perfected beings on the high platform simultaneously frowned.

Only Elder Yue Lai and Elder Gu abruptly rose to their feet in shock. The two exchanged glances, and then Elder Yue Lai hesitated, "Is this... a Dharma Idol?"

"With this aura, he should be inescapable now. This lad has formed the foundation of a Dharma Idol. And looking at this firm posture, he could actually manage it in the Perfected Realm! Moreover, it’s a demon idol, if this grows..."

Speaking up to here, Elder Gu gave Elder Yue Lai a strange glance and laughed heartily, "Haha, Elder Yue Lai, you lost your face but gained nothing, this joke I must take back and tell everyone."

······

On the battlefield, Wang Zijia: "???"

Wang Zijia looked at his Dharma Idol, which was even more demonic than the devils described in legend, and was left utterly speechless.

The Five Ghosts Divine Power was one thing, but among his Dao Basics Nine Techniques, the orthodox Immortal Path was his main focus! He was treading the path of becoming Immortal!

Well... except for the Blood Droplet.

But eight of the techniques were orthodox, yet because he incorporated the Blood Droplet, why had his Dharma Idol turned out like this???

It truly was a demon body!!!

Looking at his ’handsome’ image, Wang Zijia was left speechless for a long time. He felt that his Dao seed of the Wanyu Immortal Sect was straying farther and farther from the beautiful words like orthodox, righteous lineage of the immortal family!

Wang Zijia looked at his own disappointing appearance. Although he thought this demon body wasn’t exactly ugly, more of the type that grows on you, he noticed a certain perverse beauty in its detailed features. But Zijia couldn’t help feeling a bit down.

He knew all too well that in a world where appearance was king, such a grotesque look would not turn out well. He was at risk of becoming a public enemy, despised by those on the righteous path.

In a flash, Wang Zijia completed the aggregation of his Dharma Idol. He glanced at Yue Lai, who was still receiving his initiation and going through a breakthrough, his eyes cold.

"Teh!"

A stern shout exploded like thunder from his mouth, and with it came immense power. Wang Zijia swept forward in a gust of wind and thunder, charging at his opponent.

"Thump!"

His massive fist slammed into the inheritance light shield, causing it to tremble.

Zijia did not hesitate to launch a barrage of attacks, fierce and relentless.

In a moment, Yue Lai’s closed eyes twitched incessantly as the shield around him began to waver.

At this moment, Wang Zijia’s eyes turned cold. He raised his hand and summoned a burning long spear, constructed out of crystals, with molten rock flowing within the core of the spear. It appeared in his hand.

"Cha!"

With a fierce roar, the chilling tip of the spear aimed for Yue Lai.

"Poof!"

The Light Shield created by the opponent’s inherited magic tool finally couldn’t bear the burden and shattered into pieces.

Space rippled for an instant, and Yue Lai’s figure began to blur and was about to disappear.

Zijia’s eyes flashed with anger, and special runes emerged in his golden pupils. Forbidden techniques of mind control, amplified by his demon body, transformed into an extremely wicked devilish thought, targeting his opponent.

"Hmph!"

A muffled groan echoed as Yue Lai’s disappearing figure froze momentarily before rapidly vanishing. Zijia’s spear thrust forward, first meeting some resistance before plunging into thin air.

"Hahaha, well done! Worthy of the one who has condensed the demon form. I appreciate your unwillingness to give even an inch!"

Joyful laughter echoed in Zijia’s ear. It was nearly inaudible, and yet seemed filled with fondness.

Without giving Zijia a chance to react, he found himself locked in place, the space around him shattered, turning into a flurry of runes.

A massive beam of light enveloped Wang Zijia, turning him back to his initial form, revealing himself to everyone present.

He was suspended in the air, the array that formed the competition ground around him rapidly dissolved and disappeared, dispersing countless particles of spiritual light. Under the sunlight, it was like a sky filled with divine clouds and rosy rays.

As the spiritual light converged, Wang Zijia, suspended at the center, appeared like an immortal with a halo, floating in the air.

The countless disciples below stared in awe at Wang Zijia, who had suddenly descended like an immortal.

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother!"

"······"

In no time at all, the venue broke out into a deafening cheer.

[The Champion of this Great Competition: Wang Zijia!]

With the final announcement, the spiritual light surrounding Zijia intensified, as if he were about to ascend to immortality.

Seeing this, the spectators were further stirred up. Some were shouting at the top of their lungs, others were waving their arms non-stop.

After a moment, other contestants each made their appearance, supported by clusters of spiritual light. In no time, all 11 participants had assembled, including some who were seriously injured and had rushed over after a hasty treatment. Only Yue Lai, who had been struck by Zijia’s devilish thoughts during his Ao’s transmission, was missing.

The contestants made a grand entrance, basking in the adoration, attention, and admiration of the roaring crowd. In the middle of it all was Zijia, the center of attention in the entire Outer Sect, a model prodigy, catching everyone’s eye.
