Chapter 103: Transformation God Battles Transformation God

Black clouds from an underwater volcanic eruption surged into the sky, and countless crimson projectiles streaked across the firmament, leaving fiery trails as they scattered in all directions.

After righting itself and standing firm in the sea, the Heavenly Sun Puppet slowly turned its head, its eyes glowing with an eerie red light. It then took large strides in the direction of Myriad Immortals Island.

"Boom!"

A single step stirred up a hundred-meter-high giant wave. Amidst the shaking earth and surging sea, the Heavenly Sun Puppet advanced with powerful strides. It appeared slow but was, in fact, incredibly fast, drawing closer and closer to Myriad Immortals Island. Along its path, the tsunamis it unleashed with its powerful gait destroyed countless islands.

Suddenly, the Heavenly Sun Puppet's colossal body came to an abrupt halt. The sky had abruptly turned dark. The Heavenly Sun Puppet looked up: An inverted mountain, dozens of times larger than itself, had suddenly appeared above its head. The mountain nearly filled its entire field of vision, and faint outlines of beasts and trees could be seen on its surface.

"Fellow Daoist, please stop!" At the same time, a cold voice, laced with a hint of murderous intent, echoed through the sky.

The mountain peak, like a drill, pressed down directly.

The Heavenly Sun Puppet, with a defiant expression, roared and extended its arms upwards, colliding violently with the descending inverted mountain.

A shockwave erupted abruptly, centered on them. Li Fan and Zhang Haobo, watching from a distance, were suddenly swept by the shockwave, almost losing their balance like duckweed in the wind. A look of astonishment appeared on both their faces.

Shortly after, a series of delayed explosions finally reached them.

"Boom!""Boom!""Boom!"

The two looked again, only to see the inverted mountain continuing to descend, slowly bending the Heavenly Sun Puppet's waist. Its feet were driven directly into the seabed, constantly emitting crashing roars.

"Heaven..."

Dark red light surged around its body, becoming increasingly bright and dazzling, outshining even the great sun in the sky.

"Sun..."

The Heavenly Sun Puppet looked up at the inverted mountain it was holding, its eyes overflowing with madness and defiance. With continuous creaking sounds, its stooped body slowly straightened. The massive mountain was also lifted inch by inch towards the sky.

"Hmph!" Seeing the Heavenly Sun Puppet remain unyielding, a cold snort once again resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

On the inverted mountain, several phantom peaks of various shapes faintly reappeared. Together, they formed a mysterious formation, and a vast, majestic aura immediately emerged. The inverted mountain above suddenly seemed to increase in weight by several times.

The Heavenly Sun Puppet's body, from its head downwards, was suddenly pressed into the sea. The surrounding seawater was completely pushed outwards, forming a giant ring wave that spread in all directions, revealing the cracked, lava-covered seabed. Under the impact, the ground was continuously eroded. Meanwhile, the puppet's lower limbs were crushed little by little under this immense pressure.

Soon, only the Heavenly Sun Puppet's upper body remained, struggling to support itself. It seemed defeat was not far off.

"A life...""Inferior to no one..."

Yet, it continued to repeat those words. After several repetitions, only the Heavenly Sun Puppet's head remained. At the base of the inverted mountain, it opened its eyes wide in fury.

"Inferior to no one!" Its head suddenly exploded, transforming into crimson lava.

Deep beneath the Congyun Sea, the earth's core fire erupted once more. Countless streams of magma and the lava formed by the Heavenly Sun Puppet converged, forming a figure of fire. This newly reformed Heavenly Sun Puppet, its body swirling with boiling flames like a fire dragon, hurtled headlong towards the inverted mountain. "Boom!" It drilled in through the mountain's lower peak, tearing through the massive rock. Amidst continuous explosions, cracks constantly appeared along the inverted mountain. Finally, the fire dragon burst out from the bottom of the mountain, tearing through it. It roared as it soared into the air.

A moment later, it transformed back into human form, coldly gazing at the inverted mountain below.

"Bang!""Bang!""Bang!"

The enormous inverted mountain exploded with a crash. Countless fragments fell like meteorites. They landed on the black seabed, which was covered in cooled lava.

"Quite interesting. As expected of a successor to the ancient Body Transformation Dao." With the destruction of the inverted mountain, the voice in the heavens and earth sounded again. There was no anticipated rage, but rather a tone of keen interest.

"To possess such strength with a Golden Core cultivation base, after thousands of years..."

Above the Heavenly Sun Puppet, the phantom mountain peaks became increasingly real. Seemingly angered by the mention of its Golden Core cultivation, the Heavenly Sun Puppet let out another defiant roar, clashing against the phantom mountains.

"If you want to fight, let's find another place." Just then, a lazy female voice chimed in. The world suddenly grew dim.

Li Fan and Zhang Haobo looked up, only to find that the sun had vanished from the sky without them noticing. It was as if a large hole had been torn in the firmament. Inside, stars twinkled like the night sky.

A veil of starlight descended, enveloping the Heavenly Sun Puppet. "Roar!" It only managed to let out a roar before its massive form vanished. The phantom mountain peaks also disappeared.

"Good! Let's find another place and fight to our heart's content!"

The torn firmament slowly closed, and the stars gradually vanished. The sun shone brightly, and the world was quiet, as if nothing had happened, with clear skies and gentle breezes. Only the nearby Congyun Sea, which had been almost completely shattered, faintly bore witness to the astonishing battle that had just transpired.

"Those two who just appeared must be the Soul Transformation cultivators from Myriad Immortals Island. Such grandeur truly inspires awe and yearning."

It was Li Fan's first time witnessing a Soul Transformation mighty one act personally, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, unable to compose himself. When he regained his composure, he turned his head to look. Zhang Haobo, standing beside him, was also lost in thought, the shock on his face lingering.

"It seems the illusion created by the Cloudwater Dream Art still can't compare to a personal experience," Li Fan mused. "Otherwise, after truly witnessing the Red Flame Scorching Sea, I definitely wouldn't be so captivated by this Soul Transformation struggle."

Releasing his Insect Binding Divine Ability, Li Fan spoke, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, how are you feeling?"

Zhang Haobo startled, coming back to his senses. His spiritual energy instantly activated, and twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Swords instantly appeared around him.

"Hmm?" Li Fan tilted his head, looking at him.

Remembering something, Zhang Haobo's breath hitched, and he retracted his blue water swords. He awkwardly rubbed his head, then bowed respectfully to Li Fan and said earnestly, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for saving my life."

Li Fan chuckled and waved his hand. "It was nothing. Fellow Daoist Zhang, with your mid-Qi Condensation cultivation, you were able to fight seventeen puppets alone. The sky filled with flying water swords, suppressing all the puppets — truly impressive!"

Zhang Haobo quickly shook his head. "It's nothing compared to your divine abilities, Fellow Daoist."

Then, he looked up at the sky again, a touch of melancholy in his expression. "Originally, in just over a year, I progressed from a mere mortal to the mid-Qi Condensation stage. I felt quite pleased with myself, but after witnessing truly great cultivators today, I now understand. In their eyes, a mere Qi Condensation cultivator is no different from an ant."

Li Fan offered comfort, "There's no need to be disheartened, Fellow Daoist Zhang. With your talent, given time, you might very well become such a great cultivator."
