When that black figure of Qi Ping rose into the air, countless reverent gazes followed! As the owner of this unprecedented constitution, most people felt no jealousy toward him. This was one of the few existences that would not trigger envy in their hearts. They had seen clearly everything the Bee Daoist had gone through. Facing unprecedented enemies, he had never chosen to prey upon ordinary cultivators; every kill he made was targeted at those who were truly evil.
More importantly, Qi Ping currently carried the rise and fall of the entire continent on his shoulders. At this moment, the stronger he was, the better—this was the expectation of almost everyone.
Under these gazes of expectation and reverence, Qi Ping seriously felt the transformation of his body and soul, while working hard to absorb every bolt of descending lightning as resources for the tempering of his constitution.
Perhaps because of Qi Ping's current realm, this lightning tribulation was unusually powerful. Even Meng Tianqi and the Demon Blade Bai Liyun, who were at the Void Refinement stage, were shocked. Facing such lightning, even they wouldn't dare to take it lightly. It was only because this awakening was happening to Qi Ping that it worked; anyone else would likely have been turned to ash.
But within a bearable range, the stronger the lightning, the better. Aside from Heavenly Punishment, the meaning of a lightning tribulation lay in trial and tempering. The stronger the lightning, the more powerful the awakened constitution would be!
"As expected of Senior Bee Daoist. Only Senior can carry the birth of such a constitution!" Meng Tianqi's eyes were full of emotion and envy.
"What is most admirable is that Senior Bee's constitution isn't innate, but awakened through his own efforts. This is the most rare thing!" The Demon Blade Bai Liyun's face was full of admiration. Based on the Bee Daoist's past experiences, he clearly didn't have such a powerful constitution at first. He had comprehended the five-element methods on his own and walked to this step through his own hard work. This was enough to prove the Bee Daoist's brilliant path of growth.
The fact that the two most outstanding people in the Star-Sea Continent—aside from Qi Ping—felt such heartfelt admiration proved the status Qi Ping held in everyone's hearts.
As the tribulation continued, bolt after bolt of terrifying lightning dragons roared through the Nine Heavens, turning the originally dark sky into flickering purple. And as those purple lightning dragons were continuously devoured by Qi Ping, the pressure he radiated grew stronger. Countless five-element phenomena appeared around him!
Some phenomena were massive divine beasts. Some were terrifying super natural disasters. Others represented extreme celestial weapons and natural treasures! All the myriad lifeforms under the five elements were manifesting at this moment. Of course, the most eye-catching were a cute little stone radiating endless military power, a sacred and majestic massive azure dragon, a white tiger exuding an auspicious aura, a Golden Crow like a sun, and swarms of mysterious ants traveling through the ley lines...
As core existences, they continuously absorbed other phenomena and energy, and the auras they radiated were rising and transforming. Their auras became increasingly compatible. Under the tempering of the lightning, their energies drew closer, slowly becoming a single whole!
Just after the final lightning dragon was devoured by Qi Ping, these five phenomena reached their peak of strength and compatibility. Heaven-shaking sounds of clashing weapons, dragon roars, tiger growls, bird cries, and the sound of the earth echoed through heaven and earth! Under such powerful pressure and suppression, many people and spirit beasts actually knelt down uncontrollably! There was the majesty of divine beasts and the vastness of heavenly power!
The sharpness, the vitality, the auspiciousness, the heat, the weight... the characteristics of each power were elevated to the extreme at this moment! Even the Little Stone Spirit and the Little Immortal Tiger—the sources of the shared talents—were stunned. This talent was actually stronger than theirs! If they didn't have other similar talents to complement them, their own talent abilities might have been surpassed by Qi Ping's single attributes.
When those five powers reached their peak brilliance, they instantly merged with Qi Ping as the center, drawn by each other's energy! Then, a peerlessly powerful aura swept across the firmament! Following that, a massive amount of spiritual opportunity from heaven and earth appeared, frantically pouring into Qi Ping's body! The remaining power of the golden auspicious cloud also merged with him.
This fusion process lasted for quite a while before it gradually finished. However, the moment the fusion was complete, the entire world seemed to suddenly freeze! Then, an incredibly powerful heartbeat sounded. It was like a prehistoric beast pressing down on the world, or like the earth's own heart beating. Almost no words could perfectly describe that heartbeat; it was so powerful and forceful that it didn't seem to belong to a human!
But it didn't end there. After the heartbeat, a brilliant five-colored celestial light swept across the sky! Then it vanished in an instant, as if it had never appeared. But when people looked at the place the light had swept, they were all shocked!
A void had appeared there. Spiritual energy, clouds, space... even laws! Everything in that position had completely disappeared!
"Heavens! What kind of divine ability is that?"
"It's too terrifying! Everything is gone! Even space and laws are missing!"
"Everything returned to nothingness! Is this Senior Bee's divine ability?"
"This kind of power is truly terrifying. It's simply unheard of!"
The sounds of people swallowing and gasping in cold air echoed everywhere. Because after that five-colored light swept through, everything had vanished. Such a method was simply unheard of! Even in the records of the Star-Sea Continent's history, no such terrifying divine ability had ever appeared—to be able to return even space and laws to nothingness!
"Is this the constitution Senior Bee awakened? It's terrifyingly powerful!"
But it still wasn't over. The place the five-colored light had swept was not immediately repaired by heaven and earth; it seemed a mysterious force was blocking the repair of that damage. If heaven and earth were like this, one couldn't imagine what it would feel like to have that strike land on a person.
However, at this moment, everyone's vision blurred. Another equally brilliant five-colored light swept across the same position. Then, an even more shocking scene occurred! The position that had just been swept into nothingness was completely repaired in an instant! Space was once again stable, spiritual energy was drifting, and even the clouds were floating there naturally! It was as if what had just happened was an illusion!
But everyone knew it wasn't an illusion. It was because the destruction had been repaired by Qi Ping! This hand of repair was far more shocking than the hand of destruction! Every normal cultivator knew that destruction was far easier than repair. Qi Ping's ability to easily restore what he had just destroyed proved that his divine ability was far more than just that; he must possess even more powerful forces!
"Congratulations to Senior Bee for the awakening of his constitution! The Celestial Physique is complete!"
After Qi Ping finished the complete fusion and awakening, Meng Tianqi immediately led the congratulations. Then, wave after wave of voices rose:
"Congratulations to Senior Bee for the awakening of his constitution! The Celestial Physique is complete!"
"Congratulations to Senior Bee for the awakening of his constitution! The Celestial Physique is complete!"
Hearing these voices, a heartfelt smile appeared on Qi Ping's face. He was truly happy right now! He had been anticipating and planning for a five-element physique since he first awakened his Druid profession. Now, hundreds of years later, he had finally achieved this goal. Fortunately, the result did not disappoint him. Having used many resources and forces as a foundation, this fusion and awakening far exceeded his expectations. All his foundations blossomed at this moment, serving as the best preparation for his advancement to the Soul Transformation stage.
The constitution he awakened did not disappoint him at all. Even looking at so many people revering him, Qi Ping had a brief moment where he felt like a Great Villain. With his current reputation and status, he fit the setting perfectly; after all, reaching this step, there was almost no one left in the continent worth fighting.
But it was only for a moment. He could clearly feel the power of faith and sentient power coming from countless people. These people naturally believed in him from the bottom of their hearts; it wasn't something he obtained through tricks. As long as he didn't court death, his current status was essentially rock-solid. And he had never liked conspiracies or bloody battles; he only wanted to develop his territory and fully unleash the world's potential. There were still many things waiting for him to do.
Thoughts about the current situation flashed through his mind, and Qi Ping turned his attention back to the constitution he had just awakened.
"There doesn't seem to be an identical constitution in the records of the cultivation world... Hmmm... I'll call it the Five Elements Celestial Physique and the Five-Colored Celestial Light!"
It wasn't strange that a similar constitution hadn't been recorded. Aside from some innate constitutions, many were awakened later in life. Some were awakened many times and thus recorded, while some were extremely rare and appeared only once. Such rare constitutions were generally classified under their corresponding elements and then ranked by strength. Qi Ping's constitution was undoubtedly a Five Elements Spirit Body, but he couldn't fully evaluate its grade because his situation was too special.
However, based on the phenomena before the awakening and the strength just shown, this constitution was enough to rank at the top of the records. In some ways, its potential could even compare to those legendary Rank 9 constitutions! It even faintly had the style of a true Celestial Physique, though it was probably still quite inferior to those legendary ones. In a super continent like the Sky-Dragon Continent, such a physique might not even be born once in an era; even a few Rank 9 constitutions would be considered very good.
Qi Ping was very satisfied. To have reached this step was partly due to this world giving him special treatment and full support. Otherwise, even with his deep foundation, he might not have reached this level now. The way the spiritual opportunity of this world gathered on him without regard for cost was a very important reason.
"The name is quite good. The focus is on the potential. The innate divine ability of this constitution is full of potential. When my animal companions improve further and I gain more foundation, I might even have a chance to awaken a true Celestial Physique!"
As Qi Ping carefully felt the awakening, he quickly became familiar with the power he had obtained.
(TN: Five Elements Celestial Physique: Possesses extraordinary five-element cultivation talent. Innately close to the Great Dao of the Five Elements, allowing comprehension of five-element laws to advance by leaps and bounds. The cultivation foundation is innately deep; every move possesses suppressing power far beyond similar constitutions. Simultaneously possesses extremely strong recovery ability, with spiritual power recovery speed far exceeding similar physiques. Possesses 'Immunity to All Methods' trait; the powerful physical form and circulating five-element laws can greatly weaken any force within the five elements. The deeper the comprehension of the 'Five Elements Generating Myriad Things,' the more powers can be restrained; complete comprehension can lead to total spell immunity. Possesses 'Body Manifesting All Methods' trait; can amplify and use any power within the five elements. The deeper the comprehension, the more spells and divine abilities can be used.)
(TN: Five-Colored Celestial Light: Divided into five colors—Azure, Yellow, Scarlet, Black, and White. Possesses extreme speed, allowing the light to land on a target instantly. Has two traits: 'Generation' and 'Extinction'.)
(TN: Five-Colored Celestial Light - Extinction: The ultimate destruction ability. Can decompose a target into nothingness from its very essence. The difficulty of decomposition depends on the user's comprehension. Targets within the five-element laws are easy to decompose; those outside require comprehension of the corresponding laws to achieve the ultimate effect.)
(TN: Five-Colored Celestial Light - Generation: The ultimate derivative ability. Can restore decomposed or damaged items to their peak state. The degree of recovery is limited by the user's comprehension.)
After completing the comprehension of the constitution and divine ability, Qi Ping had only two words: Bad-ass! It truly was bad-ass! Never mind the high talent and deep foundation—those were basic effects. The real strength lay in the 'Immunity to All Methods' and 'Manifesting All Methods.' One must know that most powers in the cultivation world evolved from Yin-Yang and the Five Elements. This weakening trait was more bad-ass than any defensive spell Qi Ping knew. The ability to manifest all methods went without saying; it was perfect for someone like Qi Ping who had comprehensive knowledge of laws and spells. He was someone who had researched almost every spell in the Star-Sea Continent.
But compared to the physique, what truly made Qi Ping call it bad-ass was the Five-Colored Celestial Light!
