Three, Metamorphosis

  Bang!

  The sound is deafening, lightning strikes the strange stone, electric light envelops the stone, sizzling.

  Sheng Tian felt a sharp pain, a feeling he had never experienced since coming to this world, now it was so clear and so acute.

  The sky is bright, but I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Having gained consciousness should be a joy, but now this acute awareness only brings me heart-wrenching pain, making me want to scream, yet unable to open my mouth.

  The electric light on the surface of the stone gradually penetrated into the inside of the stone, and at this time Sheng Tian felt a tingling sensation, a pain, suffering from an unspeakable agony.

  If someone could see through this stone now, they would find that wonderful changes are taking place inside the stone. Yellow electricity is transforming the interior of the stone, opening up meridian-like pathways, some of which were routes taken by Sheng Tian when he was practicing his skills, while others are new paths opened up by the electricity.

  As the electric light in the stone gradually dimmed, another thick and large lightning with a yellowish-brown color accompanied by a loud thunder struck towards the strange stone.

  Bang!

  Another loud crash, and the strange stone was split in two.

  Electric sparks danced across the stone surface, emitting a hissing sound.

  While lightning flashes on the surface of the stone, it also penetrates into the inside of the stone.

  Just as the first bolt of lightning disappeared in his body, before he could even catch his breath, the second bolt struck him again. The pain, the numbness, if he could scream out loud, he was afraid that his voice would have been hoarse already.

  Electric light penetrated into the stone body, continuing to transform the stone, and the meridians gradually took shape. Before this electric light disappeared, it seemed to have outlined various internal organs, and a faint outline of internal organs appeared inside the stone body.

  The lightning in the sky seemed to be in no hurry, and after the electric light on the surface of the stone disappeared, another yellow flash of lightning struck down, wrapping the stone in electric light, constantly moving around, occasionally making a crackling sound.

  All that's left is itchiness and pain.

  The thunder in the sky struck again, and the lightning's transformation of the stone seemed to have accelerated, with meridians, blood vessels, and internal organs gradually appearing.

  When the ninth bolt of yellow lightning in the air, also the largest bolt of descending lightning, struck the stone and penetrated into its interior, the transformation of the stone by the heavenly fire seemed to have come to an end. If one were to look through the stone at this time, he would see that all sorts of organs inside the stone had basically taken shape, and a faint yellow glow was beginning to appear.

  Dark clouds are still rolling in the sky, from time to time there is a rumble of thunder, but no lightning has fallen.

  Sheng Tian took advantage of the brief opportunity to catch his breath, and in his perception, the ground within a radius of nearly ten zhang was in disarray, as if the earth had been overturned, but this dark strange stone was without any marks.

  The sky was filled with dark clouds that suddenly became violent, a loud thunderclap sounded, and a bolt of silver-white lightning with a mysterious metallic luster flashed down.

  A new round of tribulation has begun.

  This time, the silver-white lightning with a mysterious metallic luster did not fall down in a majestic and orderly manner like the yellow lightning. It was very violent from the beginning, one after another, without any interval. The transformation of the stone was also like a bold and vigorous carving, cutting off all the redundant and cumbersome parts.

  Nine consecutive lightning bolts struck, making Sheng Tian feel like he was on the verge of death, the pain was so unbearable that he wished he could just die.

  It was another brief interval, and the stone's body had undergone a heaven-shaking change. Various organs became clearer, and in the yellowish light, there was a faint mysterious metallic luster, while the surface of the stone remained unchanged.

  After a brief interval, the sky continued to fall with flashes of lightning, but this time the falling lightning was cyan-black in color.

  The lightning fell one after another, accurately and without error, striking the stone.

  Nine flashes of lightning came down and didn't stay, then nine greenish-blue flashes of lightning struck the stone again.

  Eighteen consecutive flashes of lightning struck the stone, and the stone's body was transformed again. Its meridians, blood vessels, and organs were vividly alive, as if surrounded by a clear aura. The meridians and blood vessels also seemed to have a flowing substance.

  The exterior of the strange stone is still dark as before.

  The pain has almost numbed, but I'm not dead yet.

  Dark clouds in the sky seem to be squeezing out something.

  The rumble of thunder announced that the storm was far from over.

  A red lightning bolt squeezed out of the ink-like dark cloud, violently striking the stone, and the stone instantly caught fire. The lightning strangely burned on the stone. The inside of the stone also seemed to be on fire, as if undergoing another kind of calcination.

  The dark clouds in the sky squeezed out one after another crimson lightning, heavily striking the stone, constantly increasing the burning temperature, and a raging fire fueled by lightning ignited on the stone.

  The big fire wrapped the stone in its entirety and calcined it, with several meters around the stone being a deep red color, and the objects near the stone had already melted.

  Sheng Tian no longer just felt pain, he felt himself melting entirely, merging with the stone. This was also the final fusion of Sheng Tian and the mysterious rock, after which there would be no more descendants of Sheng Tian, only the Primordial Mysterious Rock Sheng Tian.

  The flame disappeared, and the surface of the strange stone remained unchanged, but a faint light was visible. However, inside the strange stone, a peculiar life force seemed to emerge.

  After enduring great pain for a long time, I finally felt a long-lost comfort!

  The sky is still dark and gloomy, with clouds churning restlessly, as if they are about to extract even greater power from the heavens.

  The rolling dark clouds suddenly stopped, and a pure black lightning bolt silently burst out from within, striking the stone without making a sound. The black lightning bolt entered the stone and converged into a single strand, darting into the opened meridians, continuously expanding them as it traveled throughout the body before gathering in the abdominal dan Tian position, transforming into an electrified vortex.

  The dark clouds continued to silently slash down with pure black lightning.

  Black lightning was expanding the meridians while doing something to the entire body of Shi Tou.

  Nine pure black lightning bolts struck quickly. The calamity cloud did not stop, and then struck down nine pure white lightning bolts. These lightning bolts entered the stone, doing the same thing as the pure black lightning bolts. In the end, a strange vortex was formed at the dantian position in the abdomen of the stone, like a Taiji diagram, with pure black and pure white electric lights flashing in the fish eyes respectively.

  Sheng Tian felt wave after wave of bloating pain, as if he was going to explode himself, extremely unbearable.

  The sky was overcast with dark clouds, which seemed to have lowered a lot.

  The dark clouds no longer rolled, but began to rotate, forming a whirlpool. In the center of the whirlpool, a bright light flashed, and a pressure that made one's heart tremble emanated from within.

  The dark clouds turned from ink black to dark purple, and the pressure that seeped out seemed to affect the flow of air, a deathly stillness.

  In the midst of a somewhat desperate wait, finally, thick purple lightning bolts emerged from the dark clouds, striking the stone and causing it to emit bursts of purple light. The purple lightning bolts flowed across the surface of the stone like water, completely immersing the entire stone in their purple glow, including Sheng Tian's consciousness.

  Sheng Tian didn't feel pain, but an unbearable itch, an unmatched itch that penetrated into his soul.

  It wasn't easy, but the nine purple lightning bolts finally disappeared from the surface of the stone. Sheng Tian felt an indescribable fatigue, this itch was more unbearable than the previous pain, and he had barely made it through. He was secretly rejoicing in his heart. If he could move, he would have been rolling all over the ground by now, but whether he would be able to roll or not was unknown.

  As the purple lightning disappeared, a faint purple color appeared on the entire surface of the stone. The inside of the stone was also filtered out, and a faint purple gas was emitted. At the center of the stone's brow, a purple gas vortex slowly rotated, occasionally flashing a thread of purple electric light.

  At this time, the dark clouds in the sky gathered into a thick cluster, emitting an overwhelming pressure.

  Before long, the dark cloud transformed into nine flashes of grey lightning that descended all at once, enveloping the stone. Sheng Tian was like an infant returning to his mother's womb, ignorant and unaware.

  This is an extremely dangerous moment, Sheng Tian's consciousness is like in a mother's body. If he can wake up before the nine gray and hazy lightning bolts disappear, he will gain a new life, gain unimaginable benefits, and successfully transform; if he falls asleep now, his consciousness will gradually dissipate, and everything will be lost.

  Time passed, and the dim lightning that shrouded the stone gradually disappeared. Sheng Tian was still showing no signs of waking up.

  Just as the last flash of electricity was about to disappear from the surface of the stone, two golden lights suddenly shot out from the double eyes on the head of the stone, and Sheng Tian finally woke up at the critical moment, passing through the most dangerous moment.

  The stone's surface is no longer dark, but gray. Inside the stone, life is thriving. In the abdomen, the dan tian, the taiji air swirls slowly. The yin and yang fish eyes flash with electricity. At the center of the chest, the tan zhong acupoint has a five-colored air swirl rotating slightly. In the brow's shi hai, there is a purple air swirl, and another grayish air swirl is also slowly rotating.

  The void was swept away, auspicious energy filled the sky, a ray of light descended from the heavens and shone on the stone, the light enveloped the stone, constantly flickering. The gray stone skin on the surface of the stone cracked and fell to the ground in pieces. After the stone skin had completely fallen off, a naked man appeared in the light, sitting cross-legged. The man was Sheng Tian after his transformation.
