But once this process ended, the price would imdiately follow.
And during this process of amplifying power, if the pain reached a point that the body or consciousness simply could not bear, both would collapse.
A collapse ant losing the perception of pain for a certain period, which also ant losing this amplification ability.
In more extre cases, it wasn't impossible for soone to literally die from the pain before even reaching their limit.
So, now, Yang An finally understood why almost no one practiced Light Magic.
For a Cultivator, amplifying it in the Corpse Transformation Realm was essentially a suicidal ability.
Imagine if Yang An were just an ordinary Cultivator who happened to master a Light Magic Technique called the One Qi Dao Guang thod.
After he entered the Corpse Transformation Realm, wanting to amplify the light emitted by this Daoist Technique ant that, from the very beginning, he would have to endure the amplified backlash damage from the Technique itself.
The terrifying backlash damage alone would very likely cause his body and soul to be annihilated!
And after he stopped casting the Technique, he would still have to face the onslaught of the amplified price.
The price of the One Qi Dao Guang thod was: "Dao light devours the body, flesh and blood drink needles. When the one qi scatters, the shell turns to dust."
Even before the Corpse Transformation Realm, using it could put the caster in a situation of injuring the enemy by a thousand while suffering eight hundred in damage yourself.
Let alone after reaching the Corpse Transformation Realm—if one wanted to amplify the Technique's power, there was only one outco from bearing the amplified price: death!
If this was the case for the One Qi Dao Guang thod, then what about even costlier Techniques like the Celestial Gnomon Body?
If all Techniques were divided into different levels,
Light Magic would definitely be in the most dangerous category—it should even be classified as a Forbidden Technique!
But the mont Yang An stepped into the Corpse Transformation Realm and understood how to amplify his power, an irrepressible smile spread across his face.
'This might be a Forbidden Technique for others, but for , it's a Divine Technique.'
'The price?'
'What price?'
'What price do I have to pay?'
'Doesn't this an that as long as I don't exceed my own pain threshold, I can amplify the power of my Techniques with impunity?'
This might seem no different from before he reached the Corpse Transformation Realm, but in reality, the difference was huge.
After an enemy casts a Technique, as long as it doesn't kill him, only one fate awaits them.
And Yang An's favorite thing to do was to strike an enemy when they were down.
Thinking of this, Yang An imdiately activated his Illusion Technique to test it out.
'If I can greatly enhance the effect of the Illusion Technique within a tolerable range of pain, perhaps all my previous worries can be resolved.'
The Illusion Technique could conceal all of his auras, including his Cultivation Level aura, making it impossible for others to determine his true Cultivation Level.
However, if soone capable of perceiving his Cultivation Level aura was too powerful, the Illusion Technique's effect would diminish.
Take Elder Life Crane, for example. In front of him, Yang An's Illusion Technique was almost useless.
As he activated the Illusion Technique, specks of fluorescent light appeared around Yang An, quickly adhering to his body and concealing all his auras.
At the sa ti, Yang An extended a hand and, with a crisp CRACK, snapped one of his own fingers.
It hung limply, connected only by skin and flesh, the bone inside completely shattered, bending at a grotesque angle.
Under his control, the Undying Body did not imdiately take effect. The excruciating, unceasing pain of a broken finger shot up from his hand.
And at that very mont, Yang An discovered that the effect of his Illusion Technique suddenly intensified the instant the pain hit.
A large amount of fluorescent light appeared on his body, concealing his auras even more completely.
Yang An's goal wasn't to hide his Cultivation Level entirely; he just needed to make others see his Cultivation Level as being only at the Visceral Stone Realm.
This way, in others' eyes, he wouldn't have broken through to the Corpse Transformation Realm. It would keep his secret safe for now, at least allowing him to handle things one step at a ti.
Controlling the power of his Undying Body, he quickly healed the broken finger. Then, Yang An proceeded with other experints.
Like cutting a gash on his hand.
Like ripping off a piece of his own flesh.
Like breaking another bone in one of his limbs.
Or even plunging his hand into his own abdon...
Finally, Yang An glanced down between his legs but shook his head. He couldn't bring himself to experint with what legends from his past life called a man's most painful spot.
With the Undying Body he'd mastered in the Visceral Stone Realm as his foundation, no matter what Yang An tried, he could recover in an instant, making the pain vanish.
In truth, Yang An considered his tolerance for pain to be quite high. After all, on his journey so far, his physical body had been shattered more tis than he could count.
Therefore, no matter how bone-deep the agony, after experiencing it so many tis, he had developed a certain resistance and ability to suppress pain.
Fortunately, after a series of experints, he finally managed to discern the different levels of pain, which made it all worthwhile.
From lightest to most severe, they were: the pain of the skin, the pain of the flesh, the pain of the bones, and the pain of the organs...
As for anything more painful, Yang An didn't try. He felt that the pain of the organs was already his limit.
'If I keep testing,' he thought, 'my perception of pain might just collapse.'
And there was no need to explore more unconventional types of pain, like suffocation, being burned alive, or getting his balls crushed...
However, by Yang An's guess, the only thing more painful than organ pain was perhaps the pain of the brain and marrow. And above even that... was pain on a spiritual level!
Yang An had never experienced it, nor did he want to find out what kind of agony that was.
After all, the Undying Body could only restore his physical form, not his soul. Exceeding that limit ant true death.
Through his experints, Yang An finally understood the aning of the Corpse Transformation Realm.
Its na was derived from two concepts: flesh, the physical body; and the appearance of death.
This was Corpse Transformation. In short, it was about torturing one's own body to the verge of death, where pain beca the source of all power.
HUMMM!
A Golden Radiance manifested in Yang An's hand, transforming into a slender golden thread. It landed on his arm, then vanished into his flesh and blood, wrapping around the bone.
With but a thought from Yang An, this strand of Golden Radiance could pierce or sever his bone at any mont.
The pain of the bones was enough to amplify the Illusion Technique's effect several tis over. Even if that old codger or the Workshop Master were standing right in front of him, they shouldn't be able to see through his Cultivation Level completely. That would be enough.
This was just a preparation Yang An made in advance, allowing him to inflict pain on himself at any ti to stimulate and amplify the power of his Techniques.
Having successfully entered the Corpse Transformation Realm and finally mastered the ability to amplify his own power, Yang An at last felt a flicker of confidence.
