Chapter 102: Massive Transformation

Was Xiang Shaoyun dying? No, he wasn't . Rather, he was shedding his skin . Among humans, there was a saying that one could shed one's body and exchange one's bones . But that was only achievable by those who had reached a terrifyingly high level of cultivation . That was a stage where one shed one's old skin and replaced one's organs to bring about a new source of life and form a new living body, recovering one's youthful vigor .

That was a stage only existing in legends .

But this was happening to Xiang Shaoyun right this moment . It was as if his body was tearing apart, but in truth, he was currently shedding his skin and regrowing a new layer of skin . He had merely started on his path of cultivation, yet he was already shedding his skin . This was unimaginable .  

Apart from his skin, his organs were also regrowing, his vitality turning vigorous . The newly gained vitality should never be underestimated as it was the very thing that would grant Xiang Shaoyun a lifespan nobody could compare to .

In other words, after this process, even if his cultivation level was to stay the same, he would have a much longer lifespan than any other Astral Realm cultivators . In fact, not even Transformation Realm cultivators would have a lifespan longer than him .

The shedding process did not last long . Soon, the charred skin dropped off his body, revealing a new skin that was as tender as a baby's skin, a skin so fair and beautiful that all women would be envious .

How did a man get a skin so exquisite and tender?

Xiang Shaoyun did not immediately wake up after the shedding process, as numerous transformations were going on inside his body as well . At this moment, half his spine had already turned purple . Odd engravings looking like dragon scales could be seen on his lightning bone .

If someone saw this, that person would recognize this process as a draconic transformation process . This was truly an astonishing transformation . Apart from that, the Overlord Skyslaying Saber within his astral cosmos sea had completely fused with the black gold . Its original badly damaged body was now slightly repaired, and it no longer looked as shabby .

The entire saber was emitting a faint lightning energy, making the saber look even more powerful and impressive . The current grade of this weapon was unknown . Perhaps it was now a king weapon, or perhaps it was not even a tier-3 weapon . But with its lightning energy, it was definitely comparable to a king weapon in might .

Apart from that, the connection between the Overlord Skyslaying Saber and Xiang Shaoyun seemed to have grown stronger as well . He now felt that the saber was related by blood, and the reason for that was unknown . Perhaps it was because of the recovery of the saber, or perhaps it was because he was truly related to it .

Additionally, the first star that had been stuffed full with an enormous amount of lightning energy was now much bigger than the other stars . It was also emitting a purple radiance, and at one glance, the star looked much more dazzling than the other stars .

It was obvious that that was an aftereffect of having absorbed a large amount of lightning energy . The meridians in his body had also grown wider, his organs had been completely cleansed, his bones had turned harder, and so on . He had undergone a massive transformation .

After studying his body with his gift of visualization, Xiang Shaoyun finally understood his current condition clearly . He had no idea why he was suddenly able to use the inner gaze, but he did not spend much time thinking about it . In any case, gaining the ability was something good .

After seeing clearly the changes he had undergone, he darted up from the ground and roared with laughter, "Hahaha, blessings are indeed hidden behind calamities!"

After a close brush with death, he survived . Not only had he survived, his cultivation level had also reached mid seventh-stage Astral Realm . He had advanced three stages at once . This was definitely an astonishing speed of growth . If it wasn't for the fact that he had diverted a large amount of the lightning energy away, he would have grown even more . Of course, if he had done that, there was a possibility that he would have simply died by bodily implosion .

Xiang Shaoyun had never felt as full with energy before this, and he had a feeling he could now kill an Intermediate Demon with a casual punch .

"Looks like I need to find some demonic beasts and try out my new strength," Xiang Shaoyun muttered as he stretched his arms . But right after he said that, he sensed a pair of eyes looking at him . For some reason, he had a hair-raising sensation from being stared at by this pair of eyes .

He looked over in the direction he sensed the gaze was coming from . There, a large purple condor was staring at him with an odd light in its eyes . This lightning condor was much larger than an ordinary lightning condor, and a row of purple feathers stood upright on its head, looking like a crown of feathers, making it look incomparably noble .

Utilizing his presence of a king, which had also increased in level with him, Xiang Shaoyun was able to see that this lightning condor was different than others with one look . His pupils shrunk as he cried out in alarm, "Lightning condor king!"

Earlier when Xiang Shaoyun was gathering the power of lightning, he did not have the chance to get a clear look at this lightning condor . And toward the end when the lightning condor was undergoing the tribulation next to him, all his sensations were already completely numb .

It was clear this lightning condor king had successfully undergone the tribulation and had become a Demon King . Xiang Shaoyun had grown much stronger, but even so, he still felt his hair rising on end when this condor king stared at him . He started thinking of a way out, but he found that nothing he could do would help him .

Before absolute strength, all tricks were rendered useless .

"Oh, hello there, revered lightning condor king . I-I'm only passing by . Alright, I'll leave now . Don't bother sending me off . " Xiang Shaoyun feigned calmness and saluted the lightning condor before taking his leave .

"You don't need to fear me . I won't eat you," the lightning condor king said before Xiang Shaoyun could start running .

Xiang Shaoyun stopped moving and turned around . "Oh, for real?"

"Us condors never lie!" the lightning condor king said with a firm tone . He then continued, "If you are really scared of me, I can take you out of this place . "

"Haha, lightning condor king, since you are not going to eat me, there is nothing for me to fear," Xiang Shaoyun laughed heartily .

Although he was confused as to why the lightning condor king wasn't going to eat him, he was no longer as alarmed . After all, the promises of demonic beasts were much more believable than the promises of humans .

Suddenly, the lightning condor king transformed into a human form . His human form was a middle-aged man, and his purple feathers had turned into a purple outfit . He had a head of purple spiky hair that swayed lightly in the air . His entire person radiated strength and power . It was clear this was not a perfect transformation as part of him still retained the characteristic of a demonic beast . This would only change when his cultivation level grew even higher .

"Please come and visit my cave dwelling," invited the lightning condor king . After saying that, he started heading toward a certain direction .

Xiang Shaoyun followed unhesitatingly . But the moment he started moving, he had a chilly sensation . He looked down and immediately cried out in alarm, "Holy shit, where are my clothes?"

He was completely naked . More importantly, the lightning condor king had seen him butt naked . This won't do! The lightning condor king was a burly man, not a seductive fox lady!

Xiang Shaoyun felt like dying .
