Chapter 532
The Beast King's True Form: Kunpeng!
"Thank you very much, young friend."
Four extremely faint yet vast and majestic voices resounded from the heavens and earth.
The sound didn't come from beside his ears, but from the heavens and earth. If Qi Ping's perception hadn't been strong enough, he probably wouldn't have been able to sense this intention.
"You may choose one of these two traditional dishes."
After sending out this thought, the aura belonging to the four ancestral beasts completely disappeared. Even when Qi Ping pushed the druid's perception ability to its limit, he could not sense it at all.
The four chains that had sealed the eerie altar also turned to ashes and vanished without a trace.
"The Four Ancestral Beasts have simply vanished like that?" Qi Ping was shocked.
These ancestral beasts are the pinnacle of existence in the Forest Sea Demon Realm, possessing powerful divine beast bloodlines; they are terrifying beings capable of dominating the world.
"That Zhou Tianqi who resembles Old Man Zhou should also be completely eliminated, right?"
Sensing that the aura belonging to the strange altar had also disappeared, Qi Ping secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This Zhou Tianqi was truly terrifying to him; even though it was just a spirit body, he didn't feel safe at all.
Fortunately, this trip was not without its rewards. Not only did the strength of the War of Ten Thousand Beasts mark increase significantly, but it also provided an opportunity to choose a ancestral beast inheritance!
"Is this the bloodline inheritance of the Phoenix Divine Bird and the Kunpeng Ancestral Beast?"
Looking at the two inheritances radiating a vast aura before him, Qi Ping couldn't help but feel a longing rising in his eyes.
He knew all too well what this meant!
Even during the heyday of the Star Sea World, the essence and blood of such beings were the rarest treasures, not to mention the complete bloodline inheritance techniques contained within.
The only drawback is that for human cultivators, these bloodline inheritance techniques from divine beasts can only serve as a reference for human cultivation, and cannot be directly practiced.
But this is still incredibly precious. If placed in the hands of some exceptionally talented Mahayana cultivators, it would be enough to comprehend terrifying techniques that would shake the ages, and even become the foundation of a sect!
"However, it seems to me that I could use it in a much better way."
As if he had thought of something, a smile suddenly appeared in Qi Ping's eyes.
"Back in the Star Sea World, practicing human techniques was enough for me. I didn't need the Druid's basic ability, the Beast King True Form, nor did I encounter a divine beast power that truly captivated me."
For Qi Ping at that time, nothing was more important than laying a solid foundation for cultivation. Spending a lot of effort cultivating the Beast King True Body would be a losing proposition, and he didn't have enough suitable resources to do so.
"But now, the Mahayana Immortal Arts have been severed in the Star Sea World, and we don't know when or where we can obtain them again."
"In this situation, it would be better to first cultivate the Beast King True Body, achieve the Great Ascension Realm in beast form, and then seek the Great Ascension-level cultivation method!"
Thinking of this, Qi Ping immediately made a decision:
For the next period of time, I will focus on cultivating the Beast King True Body and break through to the eighth rank in beast form first!
Only with combat power at the Mahayana stage level would he truly be qualified to explore the universe.
For a Nascent Soul cultivator to find a Mahayana-level cultivation method in the vast universe is an incredibly difficult task. "Then I will use the essence blood inheritance as a guide to cultivate my first Beast King True Body!"
Having made his final decision, Qi Ping then turned his attention to the two inheritances before him:
The Phoenix Ancestral Beast cultivates the Undying Flame, possessing top-tier physical and magical combat power, as well as unparalleled survival abilities.
The Kunpeng Ancestral Beast possesses two divine beast forms, corresponding to speed and strength respectively. In some ways, its combat power surpasses that of the Phoenix. It is also adept at both fighting and running, and few can surpass it in speed.
Which of these two inheritances should I choose?
As for why there were two paths, Qi Ping already had the answer in his heart. The other two earth beasts and Xuanwu had probably fought to the point where they didn't even have the chance to leave behind any inheritance.
After all, countless years ago, they sacrificed themselves to heaven and earth, assimilating into the universe, leaving no power to leave behind any legacy.
After a moment of contemplation, Qi Ping decisively grasped the Kunpeng essence blood, which resembled neither fish nor bird, in his hand.
"You're the one, Kunpeng!"
After careful consideration, Qi Ping still felt that the Kunpeng legacy was more suitable for him.
Although the phoenix possesses powerful self-healing and rebirth abilities, and fire is one of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements principles he cultivates, it is almost a perfect match for him, who values survival.
But Qi Ping ultimately felt that Kunpeng was better.
Because in the two forms of Kunpeng, Kun is associated with water and the yin, while Peng is associated with the sun and the wind. Together they control the power of space, achieving extreme speed through space and cultivating the ultimate power through the sun and the yin.
In this situation, the Kunpeng inheritance would be of greater help to Qi Ping in cultivating the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Dao. Qi Ping's most difficult task now is how to harmonize the power of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and the Kunpeng inheritance would undoubtedly be of the greatest help in this regard.
Secondly, the power of space and the greater speed will undoubtedly be of greater help to Qi Ping's upcoming journey of cosmic exploration.
Qi Ping had always coveted the enhanced abilities of the Spatial Druid, as the benefits of ultimate spatial power were immense.
It's not that the Phoenix inheritance is weak, but rather that the Kunpeng inheritance is even rarer and more valuable, and thus provides greater assistance to him.
The moment Qi Ping's palm touched the Kunpeng's essence blood, the essence blood instantly transformed into streaks of golden light that swept across his entire body, rapidly merging with his blood.
At the same time, memories of the core spells belonging to Kunpeng began to appear on Qi Ping's soul.
"Now! Beastmaster Druid—Beastmaster True Form! Kunpeng Form!"
The instant the Kunpeng's essence blood entered his body, Qi Ping immediately activated the Beast King Druid's true form transformation!
It is important to know that the Beast King's true form is the core form of the Beast King Druid. Once it is determined, the difficulty and cost of changing it are extremely high, but it will also allow him to truly possess the full power of his true beast form!
It was indistinguishable from a real demon beast!
Qi Ping was also very fortunate that he had not truly used the power of the Beast King's true form before, otherwise he would never have been able to transform into a Beast King's true form with extraordinary potential through this opportunity.
After all, there is nothing more suitable as a catalyst for the transformation of the Beast King's true form than the inheritance of blood essence.
Qi Ping was also very much looking forward to seeing what level of potential the Beast King's true form would reach with a drop of the Kunpeng Ancestral Beast's inherited blood essence!
The moment he activated his true form as the Beast King, a vast force of nature surged toward him like a monstrous wave, beginning to fuse with and transform his body with unimaginable divine power!
Almost instantly, a phantom of a Kunpeng, radiating extreme bloodline pressure, rapidly rose from Qi Ping's body! (End of Chapter)
