"This place is …" Yang Qingxuan was shocked. The world in front of him was as red as blood. The surrounding rocks and the sky were all red and filled with fire elements.
Wu Liang said, "This is the era of my Red Hou Race – the Giant Red City."
Apart from being spacious and completely red, this place didn't look like a city at all. Instead, it looked as if someone had opened up a space underground.
As for the name "Red Hou", Yang Qingxuan had never heard of it before. However, Mo Ting once said that Wu Liang's race was one of the earliest races of this sea. They hibernated in the Abyss, so these abyssal races were the true masters of the Black Sea.
Wu Liang saw his doubts and smiled. He didn't explain and continued to lead him forward.
Yang Qingxuan's Divine Sense spread out in all directions. On these hard stone walls, in addition to the crazy fire element, there was also a large amount of earth element, lightning element, and metal element. Moreover, they were filled with extremely powerful energy.
If this place was naturally formed, then it was indeed a treasure trove. However, if it was a city, Yang Qingxuan still didn't believe it.
The two of them didn't walk for long before they arrived at a wide area. There were only a few scattered boulders on the ground. These boulders were of different shapes and there were shallow chisel marks on them. They were so old that they were already blurred.
"This is where I usually cultivate."
Wu Liang flew up and sat down cross-legged on a boulder.
He pointed at a boulder opposite him. Yang Qingxuan understood and flew up, sitting down cross-legged as well.
Wu Liang raised his hand and formed a seal, transforming into his Red Hou True Body. He had two horns on his head and his body was covered in huge red scales. He was bold and powerful, and he exuded an immense pressure that made one's heart tremble.
"Look carefully. This is the seal for the first eight layers of the Red Thunder Annihilation."
Wu Liang formed a seal with his hands and a vertical eye suddenly appeared between his eyebrows. It opened and shot out a bolt of red lightning.
Yang Qingxuan took a closer look. The vertical eye wasn't a physical existence, but a type of Dharma Eye Mystique. Around the vertical eye, there were complicated thunder patterns that spread out on its forehead.
He already had a very deep understanding of the lightning pattern, but the pattern of this red lightning was very strange. It was not an orthodox lightning pattern.
Furthermore, before the red lightning shot out, the lightning patterns were originally black, but after being stimulated by Hong Hou's blood energy, they turned red. Wu Liang's entire body was shrouded in a faint layer of blood qi.
The red lightning flashed in the void and disappeared without a trace.
Yang Qingxuan sensed an extremely strong spatial fluctuation, and he knew that Wu Liang had used a spatial sacred art to erase it.
"This is the second level. Look carefully!"
Wu Liang's voice rang out once more, and the hand seals in his hands rapidly changed, creating numerous afterimages.
The second bolt of red lightning shot out. It was much stronger than the first. That kind of soul-shaking dangerous aura made Yang Qingxuan break out in a cold sweat.
Next, Wu Liang didn't give any more instructions. Instead, he directly entered the third level of transformation.
Yang Qingxuan opened his eyes wide and forcefully memorized every transformation. At first, he was able to do this, but as Wu Liang's hand seals became faster and faster, his brain became unable to keep up, and the various transformations became a mess.
Later, his blood energy suddenly increased, crazily surging within his body, causing his True Essence to run amok. Finally, he was unable to control himself, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He hurriedly closed his eyes and stabilized his blood energy. When he opened his eyes again, he quietly watched Wu Liang's hand seals. At this moment, his state of mind was no longer affected.
"Look carefully, this is the final ninth level of transformation!"
Wu Liang suddenly shouted, and his expression became unprecedentedly solemn. He formed a hand seal, and eight avatars appeared. These eight avatars sat in a circle around the giant rock, each of them forming different hand seals.
The hand seals formed by each avatar were like the evolution of the Great Dao, like a long river of laws that quietly flowed.
However, the nine Wu Liang avatars' expressions became increasingly ugly, and their faces became extremely pale.
"Nine seals, combine!"
Wu Liang shouted and recalled his eight avatars. On the forehead of his Red Mantis True Body, nine eyes appeared. They opened at the same time, and crimson thunderclouds were formed in each eye.
"Boom!"
"Ah!"
Wu Liang cried out in pain. The nine thunderclouds had failed to form in the end. Wu Liang's entire body was bitten by the red lightning. Bolts of lightning flowed through his huge body, causing his body to explode and become covered in blood.
Wu Liang's head drooped, and he panted violently, his body rising and falling.
"Did you see it clearly?" After a while, Wu Liang asked in a low voice, as if his vitality had been damaged.
"I saw it clearly, but I didn't remember it." Yang Qingxuan answered honestly. "The final failure was that the nine seals could not combine. This kind of Divine Ability might not be suitable for the avatars to use. "
Wu Liang raised his head, and shock flashed through his eyes. He nodded and said, "Your talent is very high, to be able to see the problem in an instant. Right now, I also suspect that it is impossible to combine the nine seals. In that case, if you want to use the nine great transformations at the same time, you must slow down the time. "
Yang Qingxuan frowned. Then, he suddenly said, "There is something I don't know if I should say."
Wu Liang sneered. "What nonsense are you spouting? If you have something to say, then just say it! "
Yang Qingxuan said, "Junior may take the liberty to ask, but what is Senior's current cultivation boundary?"
Wu Liang's complexion changed, but he soon calmed down. He said, "Peak of Truth Glimpse, half-step World King."
Yang Qingxuan said, "That's it."
Wu Liang frowned. "What do you mean 'that's it'? Will you die if you say it all at once? "
Wu Liang's expression suddenly froze, as if he had thought of something. He said in shock, "You mean …"
Yang Qingxuan nodded. "That's right. Senior is unable to use the nine great transformations, not because your speed is not fast enough, but because your understanding of the rules is not deep enough. The crux of the Nine Heavens World Extinguishing Red Thunder lies in your cultivation boundary, and not the speed at which you form seals. "
Wu Liang's face was sluggish. His mouth hung open, as if he had been petrified.
The entire crimson city fell into a deathly silence.
"Cough!" After a moment, Wu Liang coughed out a mouthful of blood. Then, he violently coughed, spitting out a great deal of blood with every cough.
Yang Qingxuan said in alarm, "Senior, are you alright?"
Wu Liang shook his head. Then, he faced the skies and laughed, "Hahaha! Hahaha!
"You've really woken me from my stupor!"
Wu Liang's smile faded. He wiped away the blood from the corners of his mouth and returned to his old man form. His face was bitter. "It seems that the method I was searching for was wrong all along."
Yang Qingxuan quickly said, "Congratulations, Senior. Now that you've discovered where the problem lies, there is hope for you to reach the ninth great transformations. "
Wu Liang sighed and shook his head. "Now there is even less hope. How long have I been stuck at the half-step World King realm? I've even forgotten. I originally wanted to rely on the cultivation of the Nine Heavens World Extinguishing Red Thunder to break through the final shackle. Only now did I realize that I had it all backwards. "
Wu Liang's expression was extremely gloomy. He sat cross-legged on a boulder, his face dark and gloomy.
