Chapter 95: Huge Harvest

Chen Yan jumped up abruptly and swallowed those three Fruits into his belly.

In an instant, a roaring sound resonated within his body, and a tingling sensation spread once again from within his muscles and tendons.

The gale was tearing at his muscles and tendons, but it was also reshaping them!

Chen Yan stepped out with one Foot, a surge of power circulating and erupting within his body; the terrifying force slammed into the ground, and his body shot forward like a shadowy phantom.

His speed had increased!

Speed originates from strength, from Technique, and also from the toughness of the body.

Chen Yan's first two were clearly higher than the average Extreme Forging Realm, but his toughness had always been a loophole.

This is the bucket principle; a martial artist's true strength is not determined by their strongest part, but by their weakest.

Chen Yan's poor body toughness meant that once he faced a strong enemy, he would be constrained at every turn.

But now, it was different!

Absorb, absorb!

Under the influence of the Wind Discipline Fruit, his muscles and tendons became even more powerful.

On Chen Yan's Chest, the ninth Tendon Pattern formed.

The prototype of the tenth Tendon Pattern had just appeared.

Chen Yan discovered a few more points of Golden Light, and saw that within a corner of a Cliff, there was a small cave entrance where several Wind Discipline Fruits were growing, rooted at an angle.

A rough count showed at least six mature Wind Discipline Fruits, and... over a dozen immature ones.

Regardless of whether they were mature or not, Chen Yan only wanted to swallow them all right now!

Why wait for them to mature?

He only needed to be strong now; tomorrow, all he would want would be even more powerful precious medicines.

Boom, boom, boom!

The sounds of battle behind him grew increasingly intense; Chen Yan Frowned and looked over to see Li Qingyuan's figure submerged in the invisible area around the corner, seemingly locked in a fierce battle with two Second-Tier Ancient Beasts.

"Are you alright?!" Chen Yan shouted.

"I'm fine!" Li Qingyuan called out:

"I can handle it!"

Chen Yan stopped paying attention and lunged toward the dozen or so Wind Discipline Fruits.

Hiss!

A hissing sound resonated, and from within the cave entrance where the Wind Discipline Fruits grew, a small White Snake suddenly struck out.

Although it was only a small snake, the force erupting from its body caused an air explosion, and its speed was extremely fast.

It was clearly a Second Stage Late Phase Ancient Beast; if translated to human martial artists, it would be the Hundred Veins Late Stage and Extreme Forging Realm late phase.

Clearly, these dozen Wind Discipline Fruits were bait used by the snake to ambush other living beings; once a person was influenced by greed, they would be killed by it in an instant.

It must have been extremely practiced; the moment the White Snake lunged at Chen Yan, its pair of snake eyes revealed a human-like mockery.

But just a moment before the White Snake was about to bite Chen Yan, its pair of snake pupils trembled instantly, as it felt a massive force seize its snake head.

Before it could even hiss, Chen Yan extended his left hand, lightly tapped the snake head with two Fingers, skillfully plucked out the two snake eyes and placed them into the bag behind him, then immediately squeezed with his right hand, causing the snake head to cave in.

The White Snake, dead!

He was truly too practiced.

Running to the Wind Discipline Fruits, Chen Yan plucked all dozen or so Fruits, wiped them clean with his clothes, and swallowed them all into his belly regardless of whether they were mature.

He was just about to step forward.

Boom!

A storm exploded from within his body, and a sensation of intense pain struck his four limbs and Hundred Meridians.

He had eaten too much!

Chen Yan's Mu Guang narrowed; this time, it really hurt.

What he had eaten before hadn't been digested yet, and now he had eaten so many more, all to temper his weakest muscles and tendons.

It was bound to be painful.

The next moment, Chen Yan's Mu Guang turned sharp.

Absorb it for me!

Boom!

The 【Red Ridge Body Casting Canon】 was pushed to its Limit, and streams of Qi swirled between Chen Yan's four limbs, Hundred Meridians, and his body, hair, and skin.

The rolling wind currents containing Life Force energy ravaged his muscles and tendons; Chen Yan could clearly feel his own muscles and tendons being shattered and restored at the same time.

On his Chest, the tenth Tendon Pattern was rapidly tempered into existence.

Following that...

The eleventh!

The twelfth!

…………

Within the Po Saint Realm, Green Light surged.

The 【Body】 Character Po Sheng Fruit was also growing rapidly.

81!

82!

Although the growth was slow, it was faster than before by an unknown number of times.

What's more, the current Po Sheng Fruit, once mature, would have seventy times the effect of before.

Seventy 【Body】 Character Po Sheng Fruits!

What kind of changes will it ultimately bring to Chen Yan?

Chen Yan was incredibly excited, yet his entire body was suppressed by a single word.

Pain!

"Hahaha!!!" Chen Yan laughed loudly and charged forward.

Boom, boom, boom!

Behind him, Li Qingyuan finally killed a Second-Tier Mid-Stage Ancient Beast and put two Wind Discipline Fruits into his backpack.

Just as he let out a sigh of relief, his Pupil flickered.

"Holy Crap!"

He saw two more Qing Cats crawling out from the Rock Wall, pouncing toward him.

"Li Qingyuan, if you can't handle it, come over here!"

Chen Yan's voice rang out.

"I'm still okay!"

Li Qingyuan gave a Low Roar; he really didn't have the face to call Chen Yan.

Over at Chen Yan's side, he might have encountered huge trouble as well!

Definitely.

Chen Yan's strength was greater than his, he had ventured deeper than him, and the powerful enemies he encountered must be more numerous than his!

Therefore!

One must strive for self-improvement!

Li Qingyuan gritted his teeth; he would risk it all!

…………

"There are quite few Ancient Beasts here."

Chen Yan murmured; the Ancient Beasts were pitifully few, and he had chosen to come here only because there was more Elemental Energy.

As for the number of Ancient Beasts, he was actually not very certain.

Because some Ancient Beasts hid within the Darkness, and no matter how strong his Perception was, he could not perceive them very clearly.

Feeling the changes of Wind Element within his body, Chen Yan walked forward quickly.

Born to break limits, intense pain is as nothing to me.

Chen Yan walked quickly, and another six Wind Discipline Fruits entered his stomach.

Not until he entered a very deep area did he suddenly stop.

He somewhat understood why there were so many Ancient Beasts on Li Qingyuan's side, while there were only a few here.

For when the ink-colored light representing Elemental Energy within the Po Saint Realm reached its absolute peak.

Before several dozen Wind Discipline Fruits growing on the ground.

An Ancient Beast that had been lying on the damp ground slowly opened its eyes, and three pairs of gloomy beast Pupils stared at Chen Yan just like that.

This Ancient Beast was shaped like an ox, but its body length was nearly five meters, its width three meters, and it possessed three heads.

Ferociousness and terrifying, like an evil spirit from the Nine Hells.

"Moo!"

A low beast roar sounded; the Three-Headed Ox Beast slowly Stood Up, its four-meter height standing like an abyss or a mountain, and a fierce aura instantly exploded outward.

On its three heads, the facial muscles were twisted and knotted, and its fangs were jagged and terrifying, resembling giant wolf-tooth clubs.

A Third-Tier Ancient Beast.

A Third-Tier Mid-Stage Ancient Beast!

Equivalent to the Unity Realm Late Stage of the Horizontal Refinement path, or the Golden Body Realm Mid-Stage of the SoulRefining path.

Chen Yan's Pupil shrank slightly, looking directly into the eyes of this Ancient Beast; the Array Patterns within were not complex, but that invisible power Suppression was extremely obvious.

Inside his body, the energy of the Wind Discipline Fruits was still surging, and at this moment, the pain was incomparable.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Behind him, the battle on Li Qingyuan's side had clearly reached a white-hot stage.

"Chen Yan, I can't hold on anymore!!!"

Li Qingyuan roared.

"Lead them over," Chen Yan said indifferently.

As Chen Yan's voice fell, the Three-Headed Ox Beast, which had been about to get angry, slightly froze, its six eyes looking at Chen Yan strangely.

"Good!" Li Qingyuan shouted, his voice filled with gratitude, and then he ran toward Chen Yan's direction as if his life depended on it.

Behind him, five Second-Tier Ancient Beasts were still following.

"Chen Yan, Chen Yan, save me!"

Li Qingyuan shouted while throwing Fists backward; streams of SoulRefining light turned into blades, slashing at those Ancient Beasts, and although it could break their Skin, it only made those Ancient Beasts more ferocious.

Li Qingyuan's face was white with Paleness; he really couldn't hold on.

Although he didn't want to trouble Chen Yan, he could only trouble Chen Yan now.

Until he saw Chen Yan's blurry figure in the endless Darkness, Li Qingyuan was suddenly overjoyed, and then his expression turned strange.

He seemed to have seen an even more terrifying existence.

As he got closer and closer.

"Holy Crap!!!"

A roar erupted from Li Qingyuan's Mouth; the moment he met the gaze of the Three-Headed Ox Beast, Li Qingyuan's face turned white with Paleness.

This pressure originating from a higher Cultivation Realm made him tremble.

He is a genius who can fight across realms against a Second-Tier Ancient Beast.

But that is a Third-Tier!

"Chen Yan, run towards me!"

Li Qingyuan roared; though filled with Scream, he blasted out a palm, a blade of SoulRefining shot out and struck the face of the Three-Headed Ox Beast.

The latter closed its eyelids slightly, a shallow white mark appeared on the ox face, and then it just looked at Li Qingyuan with indifference.

"This..."

Li Qingyuan was Stun, what the hell is this?

Chen Yan...

Is Chen Yan scared silly?

Li Qingyuan rushed to Chen Yan's side, grabbed Chen Yan's Shoulder, and was about to take Chen Yan and run towards his side.

The Three-Headed Ox Beast definitely could not be fought; breaking out from the five Second-Tier Ancient Beasts would still leave a glimmer of Life Force.

Immediately after, Li Qingyuan was stunned.

He did not pull Chen Yan; although he was grabbing Chen Yan's Shoulder, he only felt like he was grabbing a boulder, and Chen Yan did not move at all.

"Chen Yan!" Li Qingyuan shouted, but he saw Chen Yan grab him, and then Li Qingyuan was thrown high by Chen Yan.

Holy Crap!

Again!

Li Qingyuan's body was still in mid-air, his face changed drastically, but he saw the five Ancient Beasts that were originally chasing him killing towards Chen Yan.

The next instant.

Boom!

A circle of Clear Luminous Light exploded from Chen Yan's body, accompanied by a chilling Cold Intent, and Ice Crystal suddenly condensed on the ground of the Cliff.

"SoulRefining!" Li Qingyuan's Pupil shrank.

But seeing, the moment the first Cat Beast pounced on Chen Yan from above.

A Spear tip glowing with clear light and entwined with Ice Flame suddenly pierced the back of the Cat Beast's Brain.

Blood flowed down the body of the Ice Spear, Chen Yan stood in the Darkness, and two faint White Light flowed from the corners of his eyes like Cigarette.

Immediately after, under Li Qingyuan's stunned Gaze, the great battle began.

Boom!

The Spear emerged like a dragon!

Chen Yan's body tilted slightly, he thrust the Spear out, accompanied by countless Ice Crystal shooting like An Ci, one Ancient Beast was nailed in mid-air, and blood splashed.

【Hundred Spears Dark Thrust】!

The Three-Headed Ox Beast stood quietly, and a trace of confusion appeared in its six Beast Eye.

The other three Second-Tier Ancient Beasts let out hissing sounds, stepped on the Rock Wall, and pounced towards Chen Yan.

Boom!

Chen Yan's body dodged, his Foot did not move but his figure was like Lightning!

The moment the Spear swung out an arc of azure light, another Ancient Beast's body was instantly smashed apart.

Chen Yan stood alone in place, the Spear tip thrust again!

Accompanied by streaks of cold light, like stars falling, it tore through the land of Darkness.

The last two Ancient Beasts' bodies were pierced by the Spear Rain.

Blood was still splashing, and the battle had ended.

Li Qingyuan lay on the Rock Wall with both hands, not caring that the cold water from the Rock Wall was seeping into his clothes, staring fixedly at Chen Yan below.

He was stunned.

"Moo."

A low beast roar resounded from the Three-Headed Ox Beast, and its six eyes just looked at Chen Yan.

"The miscellaneous insects have been dealt with, it's your turn and mine," Chen Yan said indifferently.

The reason he used SoulRefining was that the storm of the Wind Discipline Fruit in his body was still raging, and using his Flesh was simply self-destruction.

Even so.

When the Spear pointed at the Three-Headed Ox Beast, the fighting spirit in Chen Yan's eyes was still high.

"Moo..."

The low beast roar sounded again.

"Careful!" Li Qingyuan shouted in a low voice.

The next instant, boom boom boom boom!

The Three-Headed Ox Beast's bulky body turned sharply in the narrow ground crevice, and then, stepping with heavy steps, it hurriedly ran into a darker place.

It fled.

The reason it didn't make a move just now wasn't because it wanted to test Chen Yan's strength.

Is it possible...

It just reacted a bit slowly.

Now that it had reacted, there were only three words in the Three-Headed Ox Beast's Brain.

So scared.

If it had been bolder, it wouldn't have been hiding in this Abyss despite being Third-Tier.

"This..."

On the Rock Wall, Li Qingyuan let out a dull sound.

He took a look at the place where the Three-Headed Ox Beast had originally been, and within a pile of weeds, there were actually several dozen Wind Discipline Fruit flickering with Golden Light.

Li Qingyuan swallowed, forcing himself not to look.

"Come down," Chen Yan said.

"Then I will continue over there," Li Qingyuan said, walking toward the place he had run from.

"You..." Chen Yan exclaimed in surprise.

"Those are yours, Chen Yan," Li Qingyuan said, Laughing:

"One should only take as much treasure as one has the ability to handle; you have already helped me a lot, and I know you want to give me some, but there is no need.

I feel that, born as a human, the truth in one's heart is greater than everything.

If I were to accept them, I would no longer be myself, so where would the meaning of me becoming stronger lie?"

Li Qingyuan left, continuing to search for treasure over there.

He had self-awareness; he had already been saved by Chen Yan twice, and to take more treasure would be ungrateful.

He was not that kind of person.

Chen Yan raised his eyebrows slightly:

"You misunderstood, I didn't intend to give these to you."

Li Qingyuan paused slightly:

"Thank you."

No longer paying attention to Li Qingyuan, Chen Yan looked at the Wind Discipline Fruit spread out on the ground before him.

Counting carefully, fifty-seven!

Chen Yan felt Laughter.

Get started!
