"Hey, wait!"

Xu Chengxian sighed twice, then realized something was wrong again.
"The thing that 'sent' me out was a tongue?" He couldn't help but ask Da Hei, "How big is the Chaos Ancestor's true form?"
After asking, he answered himself, "Since He is called the Heaven-Swallowing Blood Toad, His true form shouldn't be small."
Is its true form really on Heaven Toad Island?
Is the 'toad' in Heaven Toad Island the same 'toad' as in Blood Toad?
If so, there must be a connection.
Could Heaven Toad Island be His true form? Xu Chengxian recalled his previous speculation.
"Heaven Toad Island is indeed His true form," Da Hei gave a definite answer this time.
"Haha, I knew it…"
"…a small part of it."
"…Gah?"
At this moment, Xu Chengxian even lost the courage to ask which part it was.
A small part?
An island ten thousand zhang in size is just a small part of the true form.
That's a really understated description.
"No, it should be said that the part exposed above the sea is a small part of the Heaven-Swallowing Blood Toad's true form," Da Hei corrected.
Once it said that, Xu Chengxian understood.
And he was completely silenced.
Question:
The depths of the Chaos Sea might be a million zhang deep.
If there is an ancient giant toad whose head alone, exposed above the water, is ten thousand zhang in size.
Then, how big would this Heaven-Swallowing Blood Toad be at a minimum?
Especially since this head exposed above the water is likely not the whole thing.
Even in such a hurry, Xu Chengxian could still feel that the red light was emerging from below the surface of the sea.
"Sigh, a true Primordial behemoth."
Were all the three thousand demon gods of the Primordial Era this huge?
"The Heaven-Swallowing Blood Toad is not one of the demon gods, only a descendant of a demon god," Da Hei said. "The demon gods were so huge that they could swallow stars."
Exhausting the power of the Primordial Continent only gave birth to three thousand demon gods. Any more and there wouldn't be enough space.
To compete for living space, a great battle broke out between the demon gods.
Then, Xu Chengxian learned from Da Hei some things that happened in the ancient times, even more distant than the distant past.
It was like listening to a myth.
In the Creation War, almost all the demon gods perished.
After that, it entered the Primordial Era when the Ancestral Dragon and Yuan Feng, Nuwa and Fuxi, and the Xuanmen Three Purities successively became the strongest.
The Primordial Era can be divided into two stages, before and after.
Divided by the birth of Heaven's Dao, the death of Fuxi, the birth of the human race, and the emergence of saints.
When he heard this, a trace of distortion even appeared on Xu Chengxian's snake face.
Some of it was because of the power of the astral winds, and some of it was because of the familiarity of this myth, which he himself found hard to distinguish.
This also gave rise to a sense of déjà vu, like Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly.
"Xu Chengxian, what's wrong with you?" Da Hei, who was connected to his mind, sensed something unusual.
It must be very relaxing.
Irritability quickly spread from the bottom of his heart outwards.
Before long, Xu Chengxian began to feel restless and itchy all over.
"Calm down," Da Hei chuckled. "They're just legends, yet you're listening with such passion?"
It sensed that the blood energy in Xu Chengxian's body was becoming a little manic.
"The mania of blood energy is not due to changes in mood."
"Then what's the matter?"
"I'm about to shed my skin."
… …
Ten days.
Had passed.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly.
High in the sky, the wind was a bit strong.
Whoosh—whoosh—
Roar—roar roar roar—!
In the vast power of heaven and earth, a huge, colorful flower snake was moving rapidly in the clouds.
As it swam, it held its head high and constantly vibrated its snake body.
Letting more of the astral wind blow over the scales that were constantly being washed by blood energy.
The red light on the snake's body flickered, and the scales slid in the sunlight, creating a strange luster.
The demon body was also suddenly becoming larger and smaller.
Innate Divine Ability—Size Alteration Technique!
Tear—tear—
At this moment, the flower snake coiled in the eye of the wind, actively letting its snake body touch the vortex formed by the shaking of heaven and earth around it.
Lightning was scraped off the scales, crackling.
Constantly washed by the astral wind of heaven and earth spiritual energy, gradually, hardened dry skin appeared on the surface of his body.
Innate Divine Ability—Snake Shedding!
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
"Oh yeah! Cool!"
This was both a painful tempering and a joyful release of the soul.
Whenever the hard snake skin appeared, Xu Chengxian would shout in pain.
When the hard snake skin perfectly appeared and then fell off little by little, he would shout loudly that it was cool.
Anyway, there was no one else here in the high sky above the Chaos Sea.
He could fully express his feelings without having to care about losing face.
"Oh yeah!"
The flower snake twisted and rolled in the astral wind.
Each movement was accompanied by a slight crisp sound.
The astral wind became his whetstone.
It was just that this whetstone was too powerful, and the huge pushing force behind it also made it impossible for Xu Chengxian to avoid it.
Feeling like he was a fish on a cutting board.
"It hurts!"
"Ho ho ho!"
The pain lay in the peeling off of the old skin, which inevitably had a tearing sensation. Also, Xu Chengxian was taking this opportunity to repair the old wounds in the flesh and blood of his snake body.
Twenty-one tribulation thunders had cracked the barrier of the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.
Although there might be a reason for the barrier reaching its lifespan, the power of the tribulation thunder was indeed astonishing.
Safely passing through the tribulation in it, the accumulated hundreds of millions of blood energy were also consumed in a very short time.
It was impossible not to have hidden injuries.
"Solve it all at once! Save the trouble!" Xu Chengxian gritted his teeth.
The blood energy that washed and tempered his body surged again.
The burning of the thunder and fire power also caused the flesh, snake skin, and scales of Xu Chengxian to appear in a state of uneven toughness.
This shedding of skin happened to remove all these hidden dangers cleanly.
And carefully tempered every tiny part of his body all over again.
The vast divine sense spread out, and the control over the physical body reached an unprecedented peak, but the pulling pain undoubtedly became clearer.
The joy lay in getting what he wanted.
And a joy of shedding old shackles and gaining new life surged into his heart.
This may be influenced by bloodline inheritance.
The scales that shed the old skin instantly changed from brand new and bright to dull in the sunlight.
Xu Chengxian didn't like being too ostentatious.
"Haha!"
As more and more old skin was shed, feeling his body fully stretched out, he only had joy left in his heart.
At this time, he truly felt how much his cultivation strength had increased after successfully breaking through the realm and passing the thunder tribulation.
The change in body size was the most direct manifestation.
The previous hundred-zhang body, after shedding its skin, stretched out to nearly one hundred and twenty zhang.
This was the foundation for him to be able to mobilize and use a large amount of blood energy in an instant!
"Oh yeah! That's cool!"
When the last piece of old skin was blown away, Xu Chengxian shouted loudly.
The skin shed this time was all in pieces, so it was obviously impossible to refine it into a storage bag.
But he still used blood energy to turn it into ropes and tied them back from the astral wind that wanted to drag them away.
Swallowed into his belly and stored away first.
"You're not throwing away the shed skin?" Da Hei couldn't help but ask when he saw him taking back the snake slough.
"Not throwing it away, keeping it," Xu Chengxian replied.
What if he could refine it into a weapon?
This was a snake slough that even the heaven and earth astral wind couldn't break through. If he made it into armor and took it to the human world, he would definitely be able to sell it for a good price.
Chaos Ancestor said that Ling Xiao and Ling Yunzi were caught in the teleportation array and went in the direction of the Eastern Land.
He definitely had to go and take a look.
"When we go back, see if Xiaocui has transformed," Xu Chengxian calculated, "If she has transformed, we will also be able to take a trip to the Eastern Land."
The human territory has divine path cultivation methods.
Xiaocui can take the path of imperial conferment, transforming into a dragon.
When the family reunites, he will once again be the eldest brother served by his younger sister and brother!
"Daddy!" At this time, Xu Xiaobai woke up and called out to Xu Chengxian, "I want to go out."
"What are you coming out for? It's windy here."
"Blow in the wind!" Xu Xiaobai revealed his true form, "Blow in the wind, grow up!"
The White Dragon clan is naturally proficient in the techniques of controlling thunder, lightning, wind, and rain.
Astral wind is also a kind of wind.
Xu Chengxian released the young dragon and let it hold his teeth with its front paws.
Lest it be blown away.
Xu Xiaobai obediently agreed.
So, they flew for another five or six days.
Until this day.
Xu Chengxian saw a line of land!
"We're going home!"
"Da Hei, Xiaobai!"
"We're going home!"
