This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 541: Chapter 42 Still a Bit Ugly

Central Heavenly Realm, Marquis Luotang’s mansion.

Marquis Luotang and his legitimate son, Luo Yi, were together in a secret chamber, beneath them an array with glowing formation patterns.

Luo Yi sat cross-legged at the center of these intersecting lines, eyes closed in cultivation, while behind him a ghost leopard shadow bared its teeth and claws menacingly.

This was Luo Yi’s Dharma Aspect.

The ghost leopard’s claws were three feet long, able to cut through metal and stone, and possessed an incomparably fierce strength.

Besides that, the Ghost Leopard Dharma Aspect also granted Luo Yi a speed so terrifying it defied belief.

A Body Cultivator renowned for being invincible in the flesh, coupled with a speed comparable to that of Sword Cultivators and Nether Cultivators, the horror of such a combination went without saying.

At that moment, a blinding silver light was sweeping out from the Ghost Leopard Dharma Aspect behind Luo Yi, converging rapidly towards his left palm at an extremely fast pace.

And as this silver light continued to gather, Luo Yi’s left palm started to swell involuntarily, looking bizarre to the extreme.

It seemed as though something was writhing within his left palm, eager to break through the skin and emerge.

Luo Yi’s entire demeanor turned fierce as he endured immense pain.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!” Low roars kept emanating from his mouth.

Marquis Luotang watched Luo Yi silently, his brow furrowed, until the silver light on the Ghost Leopard Dharma Aspect was about to fade, yet Luo Yi’s left palm showed no other changes.

“Indeed, it’s still not working…” Marquis Luotang muttered, though the current situation was something he had anticipated.

A thought crossed his mind, and he flicked his finger, sending a droplet of golden blood, glowing with divine light, flying towards Luo Yi.

“Open your mouth!” Marquis Luotang commanded sternly.

In excruciating pain, Luo Yi heard his father’s voice and did not hesitate for a second, immediately opening his mouth.

The golden droplet flew into Luo Yi’s mouth.

Luo Yi began to extract and refine the strength within the golden blood.

This was Ghost Leopard true blood, a treasure Marquis Luotang had acquired at great cost.

The silver light on Luo Yi’s body, which had dimmed, flared up once again as the true blood entered his system.

This time, the silver light was not emitted by the Ghost Leopard Dharma Aspect behind him, but burst forth from within his body.

With the strengthening aid of the blazing silver light, that which lurked beneath Luo Yi’s palm finally broke through the surface.

Silver scales started to appear on Luo Yi’s left palm, emerging until his entire palm was covered, shimmering with a dazzling cold light as if endowed with boundless strength.

An aura of terrifying intimidation radiated from his palm.

This was the true form of the leopard aspect.

Luo Yi opened his eyes and gazed upon his own palm, an intoxicated look shining in his eyes.

A Body Cultivator who practiced Dharma Aspect to a high realm could even transform into their Dharma Aspect, embodying the true beast transformation rather than merely an augmentation of their Dharma Aspect.

At that level, one became a humanoid beast with the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Of course, with Luo Yi’s current cultivation at the Void Refining Late Stage, he could not take this step yet, but to transform one hand into a leopard form was extremely terrifying in its own right.

This would be his trump card, his strongest secret.

“Not bad,” Marquis Luotang said as he watched this scene, slowly nodding his head, “After a decade of arduous cultivation, and with the aid of the Ghost Leopard true blood, you have finally managed the early transformation of a hand.”

“Thank you, Father,” Luo Yi stood up and respectfully said.

The Ghost Leopard true blood was immensely valuable.

“No need,” Marquis Luotang spoke somberly, “As long as you can capture Lu Qingshan, the Lord has said that she will reward you handsomely afterward.

It’s an opportunity for you, grasp it well and don’t miss out.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yi’s face flushed red, “I understand.”

What kind of person was the Lord?

If she mentioned a heavy reward, could it be anything simple?

Plus, after this matter, perhaps he could even catch the Lord’s eye, with boundless prospects ahead!

Luo Yi’s heart was filled with excitement.

Seeing his legitimate son’s expression, Marquis Luotang understood Luo Yi’s thoughts and sternly warned, “Do not be careless, this battle is not a guaranteed victory for you.”

Luo Yi was taken aback. “Isn’t Lu Qingshan just a Nascent Soul Late Stage? I’m a Void Refining Late Stage cultivator, and not to mention, now with an early transformation of my left palm that has greatly increased my combat strength, can’t I secure a win?”

“Is that Sword Cultivator named Lu Qingshan that strong?”

“I can’t be sure of his specific methods, but since he dares to accept the challenge, he must have some confidence, and,” Marquis Luotang muttered, “don’t forget who his master is…”

“Being Xia Daoyun’s disciple won’t make him simple by any means,” Marquis Luotang said with a deep tone.

Luo Yi’s complexion paled for a moment, then he sobered up, correcting his attitude, “I understand now, Father. Rest assured, I will be careful and secure the victory over him. I won’t let you down before the Lord!”

Marquis Luotang nodded slightly but said nothing more.

Although he verbally instructed Luo Yi to be cautious, after carefully considering it, he felt that no matter how one looked at it, Lu Qingshan stood little chance of winning.

Luo Yi, before his leopard transformation, might have had a slight possibility of a turnaround, but now that Luo Yao’s Dharma Aspect had begun its initial Metamorphosis, Lu Qingshan’s odds of victory had grown even slimmer.

Dharma Aspect Metamorphosis was a Divine Skill that cultivators at the Divinity Transformation level began to practice, of infinite might!

That was the reason he had delayed the day of the decisive battle until three months later.

Just to leave no chance for Lu Qingshan to win.

….

As the day of the decisive battle drew closer, the discussions throughout the world grew more intense.

“A Nascent Soul Late Stage challenging a Void Refining Late Stage? Can such a battle even happen?”

“If Lu Qingshan wins this fight, wouldn’t he rise from the current 95th place on the Yellow List to the top three?

He’s only been on the Yellow List for less than three months. If he really achieves this feat, he will be the fastest in the history of the Yellow List to advance in ranking!”
