Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

Chapter 758 499: True Word of Halting (2)

Eighteen Kunpeng Swallowing Cloud Ships moved out simultaneously, even a Martial Practitioner or Qi Cultivator of the Fourteen Realms must sip the nectar of defeat.

This sufficiently demonstrates the Yun Dynasty's apprehension towards this Tyrant Body.

...

After Chen Ku waved his hand to suppress and kill hundreds of Flying Boat Thunder Pools, he was immediately reminded by the Transformation Diagram within a single breath, his mind foreboding a terrifying danger.

Yet, from the Great Fortune Royal City, eighteen gigantic creatures suddenly emerged, far larger than Chen Ku's giant form, as if Ancient King Beasts had come alive, draped in Xuanming Scale Armor.

Spreading their wings, they spanned three thousand feet, instantly causing the Gang Wind above the Heavenly Street to stagnate, swiftly then came a pair of mountain-like "fleshy horns" tearing through the clouds, revealing their true form.

What appeared were indeed eighteen massive Kunpengs soaring in the Heavenly Dome at heights of ten thousand feet, as Chen Ku saw these eighteen monstrous beings simultaneously.

From within those eighteen Kunpeng Swallowing Cloud Ships came a loud shout:

"The Xun position's star track deviates by three inches, Wind and Thunder Bag charged to ninety percent—aim at the Tyrant Body! Fire!"

In an instant, Chen Ku saw six hundred "Green and Purple Treasure Pouches" under the belly of the first giant beast swelling up, terrifying azure-purple Thunder Slurry coursing through the ancient veins beneath the Kunpeng's ribs, after emitting light, it poured down like a meteor shower!

Boom!

So swift was its speed, in the moment before Chen Ku could react, it struck him swiftly.

Bam!

Chen Ku was directly blasted, the Emperor's Divine Armor on him burst forth with astounding sparks, and the surrounding Hundred Miles of air reeked of char.

"What an impressive weapon!"

When he realized what had occurred, his body shrunk instantly, vanishing from the sky, resembling a fall.

Hoo!!

A figure appeared beside him, it was the Young Marquis Yang Pan, clad in green robes, who grasped Chen Ku's shoulder, pulling him along:

"General Chen, hurry, that is the Yun Dynasty's aerial space Divine Artifact, with full firepower from each Kunpeng Swallowing Cloud Ship, no less powerful than a full-force strike from a Thirteenth Realm, quickly enter the Martial Arts Truth Hall, where Martial Ancestor's True Words can protect your body!"

Facing the firepower of a single Kunpeng Swallowing Cloud Ship head-on, though he possessed the Emperor's Divine Armor for defense, Chen Ku still felt somewhat congested in his chest, and there came eighteen ships together, knowing the severity, he hesitated not.

Whoosh!

He instantly activated the Drought God Air Domain, even reversed, bringing Young Marquis Yang Pan into the Martial Arts Truth Hall.

The moment of entering the hall.

With a glimmer in Chen Ku's eyes, he saw the Infinite Thunder Light spreading from the Heavenly Dome, as if it were pouring down.

Such horrifying power compelled him to change gravely in complexion.

Seeing as it was about to strike the entire Martial Arts Truth Hall, a sudden emergence from behind him within the hall arose, one stone slab after another, each bearing a different font of the same character, as if carved by blade and axe, simultaneously glowing, forming an odd character, instantly sticking to the midair within the Martial Arts Truth Hall.

"Halt!"

In that instant, Chen Ku seemingly heard a faint voice passing through the long river of time from Ancient Times.

With the utterance of a single word,

Chen Ku suddenly felt a change in the spacetime around him, he thought it was space being halted, but promptly discovered incredulously, all the Thunder Slurry falling onto the Martial Arts Truth Hall were bizarrely frozen outside the character "Halt."

Upon further inspection, even down to the smallest particles of dust within his highest eye power, all motion ceased.

"Yes, time!"

Chen Ku spoke in disbelief:

"The time and years outside the hall have been frozen?!"

Upon finishing the statement, all the horrific energy pouring outside the halt character lost its power and vanished into thin air.

"All things must inevitably cease,

All techniques return to the void at the beginning of the Way.

Dare I ask, is immortality not a yoke?

Better the moment to last eternal still."

At this time, beside Chen Ku, came the voice of Young Marquis Yang Pan:

"This is the 'Zhi Character Secret', one of the two Martial Ancestor's True Words obtained by the Grand Ancestor Emperor from the Martial Temple. After acquiring it, the Grand Ancestor Emperor transcribed it throughout his life, eventually leaving ninety-nine Zhi characters, stored within this Martial Arts Truth Hall, possessing the power to halt spacetime, however... the source of all power lies within the Grand Ancestor Emperor's ninety-nine 'Zhi' characters, once the Grand Ancestor's brushwork within these stone slabs is exhausted, it won't last long."

As he spoke, watching the unending torrential energy of terrifying firepower from the Kunpeng Swallowing Cloud Ships towards the Martial Arts Truth Hall, wearied with a hint of concern.

Under regular circumstances, these ninety-nine Zhi Character True Words are strictly forbidden from being lightly utilized, after all, expending one leaves one less, the Grand Ancestor Emperor cannot resurrect to transcribe them again.

But at this moment, nothing else was of concern.

Especially noticing Chen Ku's fearsome growth potential, he knew, no matter the cost, preserving this Dragon Abyss Major General was imperative.

Vaguely, he already felt the potential of this Dragon Abyss Major General far exceed the nine ninety-nine Zhi Character True Words.

"Ah, I see, but, Young Marquis mentioned Martial Arts Truth has two words, what is the other word?"

Upon hearing Chen Ku's question, Yang Pan slowly responded: "Martial Ancestor achieved the Way through Martial Arts, created the Martial Path, breaking Martial into two, it became the Martial Arts Two Words True Word, one is 'Halt', the other is..."

As he spoke.

Suddenly seeing Chen Ku standing within the hall, hands behind his back, his eyes surprisingly streaming with seven-colored light, rendering an impression of wisdom capable of discerning all things, intensely observing the ancient 'Zhi' character formed above the hall.
