Chapter 242: A Body Perfectly Compatible with the Qi and Blood Martial Path, a Terrifying Cultivation Speed!

Of course.

The Word Realm, which could allow Chen Yan to unleash 3.3 times his combat power, had not been activated by Chen Yan.

Keeping seventy percent hidden and exposing thirty percent had always been his way of conducting himself.

Whenever the combat power he exposed exceeded this ratio,

Chen Yan would feel a bit uneasy.

Right now, it was quite good.

Today, although he had exposed a great deal of Ice Intent, it had nothing to do with Chen Yan.

Moreover, coming to the Heaven-Hammer Fist Tournament was definitely the right choice.

The combat simulation was extremely well-suited to Chen Yan's own combat power, and the combat state would tell Chen Yan what he needed to pay attention to most.

Combat was the easiest way for one to improve their strength.

Chen Yan had also gained quite a lot from using the combat simulation over these past few days.

Azure Vault-grade Grade A external refining martial art 【Heaven-Patrolling Ultimate Dao】, entered the Profound!

Of course, this was not the greatest gain.

The greatest gain was that Chen Yan's protective patterns had been upgraded to Azure Vault-grade Grade B!

Protective patterns with powerful displacement and concealment effects would allow Chen Yan to gain more initiative in battle.

This was also the reason why Chen Yan dared to directly ambush and kill Luo Chen and his party.

It was just a pity that the other party had actually slipped away.

After checking his overall state,

Chen Yan sat down cross-legged.

It was time to take a look at the direction of his own development.

In the path of horizontal refining, Chen Yan's current realm could be considered the Unity Realm or the Ultimate Forging Realm.

After all, both realms existed within Chen Yan simultaneously.

As for the path of Qi and blood, he had truly entered the Third-Order Golden Body Realm.

The Five Crossings of the Golden Body did not increase Chen Yan's combat power by much.

More than that, it gave Chen Yan infinite possibilities on the path of Qi and blood.

Perfectly compatible with the Qi and blood martial path, his own physical body was transparent, reborn and transformed.

This gave Chen Yan an incredibly powerful talent.

Of course.

An incredibly powerful talent inevitably meant it required an unimaginable investment.

The path of Qi and blood.

The Five Viscera Realm stores and casts the five viscera, and the Hundred Meridians Realm alters the pathways of Qi and blood.

As for this Golden Body Realm,

it was to store and cast every single cell, bone, skin, and flesh of the entire body!

Ordinary martial artists could never achieve one hundred percent storage and casting.

Even if they achieved one hundred percent storage and casting, their own Qi and blood capacity was a fixed constant.

But Chen Yan was different from them.

Hum!

【Deep Abyss】, activate!

Chen Yan looked within himself; his physical body was transparent, and under Chen Yan's perception, it had nowhere to hide, flawless and unblemished.

Every part of his physical body was like a huge container for Qi and blood, waiting to be stored and cast.

This massive storage and casting capacity was that of an ordinary Golden Body Realm...

thirty-three times over.

This was an exact multiple; when Chen Yan's Five Crossings of the Golden Body ended, that sliver of information had clearly told Chen Yan this.

Chen Yan could not help but shake his head.

His own Qi and blood quality was Azure Vault-grade Grade A, which was already of a very high grade, and on top of that, he had thirty-three times the storage and casting capacity.

How many resources would this require?

Clatter...

A pair of ice crystals were poured out by Chen Yan from his space ring.

These were the ice crystals containing Qi and blood energy that Chen Yan had obtained within the Heaven's Pride Trial.

They could be absorbed by using the Flame-Ice Tree patterns.

The Hundred Meridians Realm did not require the absorption of Qi and blood energy, so Chen Yan had kept these treasures until now.

【Saint-Breaking Tree (Level 6): 83/500

Force: 67/100

Blood: 560/100

Skill: 96/100

Body: 3/100

Array: 59/100

Origin: 45/100

Intent: 88/100】

On the Saint-Breaking Tree, there were still five 【Blood】 character Saint-Breaking Fruits that had not yet been picked.

Chen Yan immediately consumed those five 【Blood】 character Saint-Breaking Fruits.

Boom!

A low roar of Qi and blood resounded within Chen Yan's body.

Whoosh.

In Chen Yan's perception, the physical particles near the heart in his chest began to be forged by Qi and blood.

The energy of the Saint-Breaking Fruit was extremely pure, as if it were something Chen Yan already possessed.

But after such smooth absorption.

Chen Yan's gaze trembled.

His physical body had actually been forged...

Less than one percent.

"Saint-Breaking Tree, when will you be able to continue breaking limits?"

Inside the Saint-Breaking Realm, Chen Yan's phantom whispered while looking at the ancient tree that towered into the hazy void.

Rustle...

The leaves moved silently on their own.

As if silently saying a few words.

"What are you saying?"

Chen Yan was speechless; patterns emerged all over his body as he formed the seal for the Flame-Ice Tree pattern.

He began to absorb the pile of ice crystals before him that contained Qi and blood energy.

Within the Saint-Breaking Realm, streaks of red light surged.

As Chen Yan absorbed the ice crystals, the Yin-Zhe Qi and blood circulated throughout his body.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

A biting chill, like the breath of Profound Ice, quietly spread through the cultivation room, as if it could freeze all vitality.

The air grew colder and colder.

Within the Saint-Breaking Realm, one 【Blood】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit after another ripened.

One.

Two.

Three.

Seven.

"Not right!"

Chen Yan, in his cultivation state, suddenly opened his eyes.

So fast!

The speed of cultivation was too fast.

Because of his Morning Star-level Qi and blood cultivation technique 【Hidden Abyss】, his cultivation speed was already extremely fast.

In the state of the Word Realm, Chen Yan's cultivation speed was boosted several times over.

Now.

Because his physical body had undergone the Five Crossings of the Golden Body, it was perfectly compatible with the Qi and blood martial Dao.

The cultivation speed was even faster!

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yan had absorbed more than half of the mountain-like pile of ice crystals.

And his physical body forging had reached two percent.

Chen Yan swallowed the seven 【Blood】 character Saint-Breaking Fruits from within the Saint-Breaking Tree.

His physical body forging reached three percent.

Roar!

Suddenly, a dragon's roar resounded.

Two streaks of cold intent shot out from Chen Yan's eyes, rapidly condensing into two ice dragons that roamed the void.

Eyes blooming with ice.

This was the divine ability brought about by the first crossing of the Five Crossings of the Golden Body, Clear Eyes.

Merely by forging his physical body to three percent, Chen Yan felt his own strength had increased by another thirty or forty percent!

Such powerful speed would require an ordinary martial artist a month, or even several months, to accumulate.

Even with precious medicinal herbs, it would take over ten days to absorb.

But Chen Yan, it seemed, had only used one hour...

Is this the Five Crossings of the Golden Body?

This time, Chen Yan truly and clearly felt the power of the Five Crossings of the Golden Body.

A perfect Qi and blood martial Dao physical body!

The only drawback was that these ice crystals were about to be fully absorbed...

Chen Yan was silent for a long time.

To have such a treasure of a physique and yet be stuck at the step of resources.

Continue cultivating!

Chen Yan cast aside distracting thoughts; he would absorb as much as he could for now.

Yet at this moment, Chen Yan, who had closed his eyes, suddenly opened them, revealing a look of surprise.

On the vast Martial Dao network, the familiar figure of Chen Min had actually appeared once again.

The number of times the tip of the network representing Chen Min had shone with light was not high.

This meant that although Chen Min himself possessed an incredibly strong will, he was not stable.

At this moment, the tip was flickering with light once more.

Initially, Chen Yan did not pay it any mind.

But upon the tip, Chen Yan saw a figure he had once seen during his own Fifth Crossing of the Golden Body.

Luo Chen, Chen Jixuan.

Besides Chen Jixuan, Chen Yan even saw the place where Chen Min was located.

"It seems Luo Chen does not disappoint me."

Chen Yan murmured, then walked out of the cultivation room, sat on the sofa in the living room, and said:

"Is there a map of the area near Xiaoyang City?"

"Please wait a moment, retrieving the map of Xiaoyang City; there are fifteen different versions of the map, please choose."

An electronic female voice rang out.

At the same time, the lights on the ceiling changed.

Map after map appeared clearly in the void before Chen Yan.

…………

At the same time.

Under the cover of night.

The moon cast its clear radiance, spreading over the lake like silver frost.

The lake water rippled, as if countless brilliant stars had fallen into it.

Surrounded by mountain ranges, hidden beneath the ink-colored night.

A massive flying warship remained suspended in the high air, one hundred meters above the lake.

Figures stood at the front of the warship, looking down at the two figures standing upon the lake.

"Hoo..."

Chen Min breathed with difficulty; steel needles were piercing his body, rendering him unable to move.

Even though Chen Min struggled incessantly, he found it hard to escape the binding of the steel needles.

"It's useless. These steel needles contain enough anesthetic to control the Dharma Truth Realm; you cannot break free."

Chen Jixuan looked at Chen Min with extreme disappointment, this junior whom he had once been most satisfied with.

"I, Luo Chen, raised you, funded you, and promoted you."

"Do you think you can just leave whenever you want?"

Chen Jixuan shouted in a low voice, walking across the water, sizing up Chen Min, but then sighed helplessly:

"I am your Second Uncle, I know your character; once you decide on something, you won't change it, but have you ever thought that once some words are spoken, they will bring you a price you cannot bear?!"

As Chen Jixuan spoke, he grabbed Chen Min and flew into the warship.

All around, Chen Qianqian and the other people of Luo Chen watched Chen Min with cold eyes.

After carrying Chen Min into the captain's cabin, Chen Jixuan tapped the control console, and soon a figure appeared on the screen.

Invincible Son of Luo Chen, Chen Changyuan.
