Chapter 1597: 36 Transformations

　　Translator: Legge

　　The scarlet-haired figure with a berserk aura fell heavily into the crowd and the living beings of the ten thousand races looked up instinctively with shocked expressions!

　　‘That was no ordinary crowd—it was a crowd of Mahayana Patriarchs!

　　‘Those were almost top-tier experts of Tianhuang Mainland.

　　Under normal circumstances, any Patriarch that appeared would cause the entire cultivation world to tremble.

　　Furthermore, more than a hundred Mahayana Patriarchs were gathered!

　　Even Patriarch Shen Yu and the other five of the primordial races did not have the same guts and boldness.

　　If those hundred-odd Mahayana Patriarchs released a single lesser divine power each, the combined might would be enough to destroy the world!

　　Boom!

　　Scarlet flames burned on the Dragon Phoenix True Body and he fell into the crowd like a gigantic fireball!

　　“Disperse!”

　　Many Mahayana Patriarchs could sense the power of the flames on the Dragon Phoenix True Body and dodged one after another, not daring to take it head-on.

　　All Mahayana Patriarchs were paragons and monster incarnates who had experienced countless life and death battles.

　　Many of them steadied themselves swiftly and surrounded the Dragon Phoenix True Body with cold, murderous expressions!

　　Matriarch Yue Luo, Patriarch Fei Duan and Patriarch Xu Jing stood at the outer perimeter and had no intention of attacking.

　　Although the primordial races were strong, the Dragon Phoenix True Body was only at the early-stage Mahayana realm.

　　In their opinion, more than a hundred Mahayana Patriarchs were enough to suppress the Dragon Phoenix True Body!

　　Patriarch Xu Jing hesitated slightly.

　　He knew the background of the Dragon Phoenix True Body. However, on second thought, he realized that there were many mid and late-stage Mahayana Patriarchs among the hundred-odd present!

　　One had already comprehended greater divine powers by the time they reached the late-stage Mahayana realm!

　　No matter how strong a primordial taboo was, he could not fight against everyone singlehandedly.

　　If he was an ordinary primordial taboo, he might not have been able to defend against the encirclement of more than a hundred Mahayana Patriarchs as they had expected.

　　However, the Dragon Phoenix True Body was not merely a taboo!

　　‘The Dragon Phoenix True Body even possessed Die Yue’s inheritance and cultivated the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness!

　　This mystic classic helped the Dragon Phoenix True Body awaken an incomparably powerful divine power when he was at the Half-Martial Ancestor realm!

　　“Wind Summoning!”

　　“Hell Dao!”

　　“Hungry Ghost Dao!”

　　“Avalanche!”

　　“Earth Splitter!”

　　“Thunder Strike!”

　　“Scorching Ground!”

　　“Eclipse!”

　　More than a hundred Mahayana Patriarchs attacked one after another and released their divine powers!

　　Instantly, more than a hundred divine powers descended and the entire void collapsed. Cracks appeared and began to distort, creating layers of storms as though the apocalypse had arrived!

　　“Hmph!”

　　‘The Dragon Phoenix True Body channeled his blood qi and the flames in his body spread with a bright flare!

　　It was the Divine Phoenix Flame!

　　‘That was the innate divine power of the Taboo Dragon Phoenix!

　　After entering the Mahayana realm, the power of this innate divine power was enough to incinerate any lesser divine powers!

　　The cultivation methods of the primordial races and taboos were extremely different from humans.

　　Because humans were innately weak, they had to cultivate various Dao techniques, secret skills and even comprehend divine powers to strengthen themselves.

　　As for the primordial races and taboos, even if they did not cultivate any cultivation techniques, their strength would increase as they grew!

　　For example, after the primordial races entered the Mahayana realm, they could fight against mid-stage human Mahayanas or even suppress them with their own strength and innate divine powers without comprehending any lesser divine powers!

　　Although the attacks of the hundred-odd lesser divine powers were ferocious, they were incinerated instantly when they encountered the Dragon Phoenix Flame!

　　‘The Dragon Phoenix Flame was a flame that was even more domineering and terrifying than the Divine Phoenix Flame!

　　Many Mahayana Patriarchs looked at this scene in shock.

　　The combined attack of more than a hundred Mahayana Patriarchs was resolved just like that!

　　“Roar!”

　　‘The Dragon Phoenix True Body burned with raging flames as he reared his head and howled into the skies, letting out a deafening roar!

　　Instantly, silence reigned!

　　Against that roar, the clamor of the Ten Thousand Race Meet seemed to have fallen into silence instantly.

　　‘That shuddering sound was the only thing left in the ears of the living beings of the ten thousand races!

　　Many living beings could not withstand the pressure from the roar and knelt on the ground.

　　It was a fear that came from the depths of their bloodlines!

　　Notwithstanding them, even Patriarch Shen Yu and the other four felt shudders and looked pale.

　　Some of the Mahayana Patriarchs that were closer clutched their ears instinctively with pained expressions.

　　However, blood still flowed out from the gaps between their fingers!

　　Blood spurted out from their noses and mouths like arrows as well!

　　Bang! Bang! Bang!

　　Eight balls of blood mist burst forth from the void around the Dragon Phoenix True Body!

　　‘The fresh blood of Mahayana Patriarchs splattered and blood qi spread!

　　“ah”

　　The crowd exclaimed.

　　The places where the blood mists suddenly appeared were originally empty!

　　Some of the places where the blood mists appeared were originally gravel or mud.

　　However, to think that when the Dragon Phoenix True Body roared, eight Mahayana Patriarchs would explode from those empty voids!

　　A look of mockery flashed through the eyes of the Dragon Phoenix True Body and he was not surprised.

　　His spirit perception was strong and he had long sensed that there were some Patriarchs hiding nearby!

　　Those were Mahayana Patriarchs of Hidden Death Sect!

　　Some of them used concealment divine powers and hid their auras completely.

　　However, some of them released the 36 Transformations and turned into gravel and mud that scattered around the Dragon Phoenix True Body, looking for an opportunity to kill!

　　‘The 36 Transformations was a lesser divine power.

　　By comprehending this lesser divine power, Patriarchs could transform into many things.

　　‘As long as they chanted internally in silence, they could transform into mountains, water, wooden stakes, rocks or equipment without any problems.

　　However, they could not transform into living beings such as birds, beasts, flora or insects.

　　If they wanted to transform further, they had to comprehend the 72 Transformations!

　　‘The 72 Transformations was a greater divine power!

　　Naturally, they could transform into birds, beasts, flora or insects by then.

　　Of course, be it the 36 or 72 Transformations, there were flaws in this technique.

　　Furthermore, even the 72 Transformations could not turn them into a living person!

　　The epitome of the transformations came as a supreme divine power—Myriad Transformations!

　　After comprehending that divine power, they could transform into every and anything. From the massive Kun and Dragon races to an insignificant speck of dust, everything could be done with a single thought!

　　By comprehending that divine power, one could even transform into the same person. Even if the two of them were placed together, no one could differentiate between reality and illusion!

　　‘The Mahayana Patriarchs of Hidden Death Sect thought that they could hide in the chaos by releasing their concealment divine powers and 36 Transformations.

　　However, they did not expect the spirit perception of the Dragon Phoenix True Body to be so strong that their bodies would explode from a single roar of the latter!

　　Hidden Death Sect cultivators specialized in assassination and their blood qi and physique were weak—they could not withstand the roar of the Dragon Phoenix True Body at all.

　　Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

　　Eight Essence Spirits of the Hidden Death Sect Patriarchs escaped and wanted to attempt Blood Rebirth!

　　“Roar!”

　　‘The Dragon Phoenix True Body opened his mouth and roared again!

　　Poof! Poof! Poof!

　　The Essence Spirits of the eight Hidden Death Sect Patriarchs exploded on the spot and turned into nothingness!

　　Eight Mahayana Patriarchs were dead!
