Deep in the Demonic Abyss of the Yunling Mountains.
Lu Kun sat cross-legged in the Fusion Demon Cave, looking at his pair of arms with burning eyes. Astonishing energy and blood were rising on them, and the muscles were contracting violently.
Like the coiled ferocious muscles of a python, sometimes it expands twice as much, sometimes it shrinks by half, and occasionally a layer of black hair appears on the surface of the skin.
…
Recently, Lu Kun has been thinking about how to break through the bottleneck in the early stages of bone transformation.
Nowadays, the life force is abundant enough, but the strength of the muscles is slightly different. If the magic energy is forcibly transferred into the muscles, even the muscles in a tight state will not be able to bear it.
Not to mention that the muscles at this time cannot be improved with the power of destruction. Even if he could, Lu Kun would not do so.
For muscles, stiffness is not the only property; toughness is equally important.
Soft as cotton and hard as iron has always been Lu Kun's definition of physical muscles. The explosion of strength is a process of muscle fiber relaxation. If the flexibility is insufficient, strength cannot be exerted.
Through the tempering of the power of destruction and the nourishment of the power of life, the hardness and flexibility of the muscles have been gradually improved to the current level. But in the last step, it is best to break through both at the same time. .
If the hardness reaches the mature level first and the life force cannot nurture the remaining toughness, the loss will be huge.
To achieve this, the breakthrough direction that Lu Kun thought of was the transformation and fusion of blood and muscles.
Long before the bone metamorphosis stage, his physical body had achieved the integration of flesh and blood. At that time, part of the essence of other muscle fibers was transferred to one place through the blood, thereby enhancing the strength of local muscles.
The blood-flesh fusion he was studying at this time was different. It was to convert blood into muscle fiber entities, and then fuse them with the original muscles to achieve the effect of improving the material.
This is equivalent to a cultivator fusing two mana powers of the same origin to improve the quality of the mana power, except that Lu Kun only used muscle and blood.
When it first enters the bone metamorphosis stage, although the physical body has been integrated and there is a certain connection between muscles, blood, internal organs, and bones, they cannot transform into each other.
Muscle cannot be transformed into blood, blood cannot be transformed into guts, and guts cannot be transformed into muscles.
With the early stages of bone transformation, muscles and blood have been able to transform into each other. However, whenever part of the blood is transformed into muscle fibers, the original muscle fibers will be squeezed out of the muscles and turned into blood.
This condition is caused by tendons.
Physical muscles are strictly called skeletal muscles. Tendons are the connection points between skeletal muscles and bones. The number of muscle fibers is limited by tendons. Even if blood is converted into a large number of muscle fibers, it cannot grow outside the tendons.
If the blood is first converted into the tendon, making it thicker, then the number of muscle fibers is released. At this time, the blood is used to convert the muscle fibers and merge with the original mutual compression.
This method is not a rigid exercise, it can improve its hardness and flexibility at the same time, complete the transformation of muscle material, and thus break through the bottleneck in the early stages of bone transformation!
At this stage of derivation, the difficulty is how to convert blood into tendons. And isn't the expansion of tendons the magical power of the arm?
…
As time passed, Lu Kun absorbed the pure demonic aura around him and continued to restore the rapidly depleted blood essence in his body.
In the past, he would never have been able to maintain his psychic giant arm for a long time. Basically, he used this magical power in battle, and the duration was very short. He just sensed the energy movement inside, how to use the surge of power, etc.
Now that he is at the peak of the early stage of bone transformation, the concentration of essence and blood in his body has greatly increased. Only in an environment like the Fusion Demon Cave can he have the luxury of maintaining this magical power.
It took two full days before Lu Kun opened his eyes. He looked extremely surprised: "I didn't expect that the nature of the arm-penetrating magical power would be extremely helpful in breaking through this bottleneck!"
He discovered that the use of the psychic giant arm is essentially a transfer of essence and blood energy. This magical power is an application of essence and blood energy. However, the bloodline of the giant arm ape makes this application simpler. .
When the magical power is activated, a unique blood wave will surge from the depths of the essence and blood, flowing to the bones of the arms and the tendons on the surface of the bones. The latter seem to have been injected with some kind of energy and mutated.
The bones were blessed by energy and were enlarged. As for the muscles, the tendons first expanded in a circle, and then the muscle fibers also became thicker.
"After the physical body is integrated, the entire body belongs to the same cell origin. The emanation of this blood fluctuation is essentially the transfer of blood energy. Tendons can be expanded, and so can bones. That means blood can also transform into bones!"
"The early stage of bone transformation is a cultivation process in which blood and muscles transform into each other, so the middle stage of bone transformation is the transformation of blood and bones."
"If you continue to practice like this, won't all the flesh and blood components in the physical body be able to transform into each other? Muscles will turn into blood, blood will turn into bones, and bones will condense into blood. If you practice to the end, you will even be able to regenerate your physical body with a drop of blood!"
Thinking of this, Lu Kun couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Rebirth with a drop of blood is too exaggerated. Even if the mature bones can be turned into blood, how can they be restored again? Maybe the soul will die directly."
He shook his head, put away the messy thoughts in his mind, and returned to the original problem.
"The changes in the essence and blood caused by the Brachioplasty does not increase the number of muscle fibers, it just expands them. What works for me is to increase the tendons."
"As long as you find the way for blood essence to transform tendons, that's half the battle!"
Lu Kun took a deep breath, blood surged in his body, and the muscles on his arms quickly dissipated, revealing his bare arm bones.
A fierce wave flashed through, and the silver arm bones expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, like two thick silver pillars.
Gradually, a layer of blood appeared on the silver arm bones, and clumps of silver blood emerged from the tendon nodes attached to it, as if silver flowers were growing on the bones.
About half a day later, the bones of his arm began to tremble, sometimes shortening, sometimes expanding, and the tendons on them were also slightly twisted. The surrounding demonic and spiritual energy quickly poured into the depths of his bones, passing through the marrow cavity, and continued to recover. With essence and blood.
As time passed, the bones of both arms finally returned to their original shape, and the silver flowers on the tendon nodes were much larger than before.
At this time, Lu Kun suddenly stood up. In addition to the arms, the muscles and internal organs in other parts were also condensed inward, turning into a silver skull.
The tendon flowers on the arm bones began to spread to other locations, like stars, instantly filling the starry sky with silver bones.
The surrounding spiritual energy and demonic energy became more and more turbulent, forming two layers of black and white spiritual circles around him. Although the magical power of the arm was removed, the consumption rate of blood essence did not decrease but increased.
After a while, on the surface of the bones, among the hundreds of tendon flowers, blood-red bud-like muscle fibers appeared faintly. They grew rapidly and intertwined with each other to form thick and ferocious muscles.
The number of all muscle fibers actually increased by 50%!
The trapezius muscles on the shoulders are like two mountains of meat, guarding the silver skull. The pectoralis major muscles are bulging high, like two meat balls covered with blood-colored lines. The latissimus dorsi muscles at the back are like a pair of wings. It's also like a turtle shell, embedded in the back.
Lu Kun's entire body turned into a deformed meat ball monster...
