Chapter 96: You... all of you, move out and stop him for me!

Time to eat!

Chen Yan took a large step forward and plucked the Wind Discipline Fruits one by one, each overflowing with brilliant golden light.

Fifty-seven Wind Discipline Fruits were piled together like a small golden mountain, with wisps of golden wind currents flowing between the fruits.

【Breaking Saint Tree Level Four: 8/10

Strength: 23/100

Blood: 10/100

Technique: 40/100

Body: 84/100

Array: 49/100】

Within the Po Saint Realm.

A Breaking Saint Tree stood deep within the vast and boundless Chaos.

The tree's branches twisted like dragons, and the lush foliage wove together into a verdant green canopy.

The five fruits hanging from the branches were each dazzling, emitting a resplendent precious light.

Among them, the green Body Character Po Sheng Fruit, containing surging Constitution Energy, was about to ripen.

Seeing this, Chen Yan swallowed three or four Wind Discipline Fruits in one gulp; the fruit flesh, containing wild wind energy, swirled between Chen Yan's teeth before entering the stomach!

The taste was very fragrant and sweet, and the texture was like swallowing wind.

Each was no larger than a quail egg, so what did it matter if there were fifty?

Chen Yan swallowed them whole, and a few more entered his stomach.

Boom!

A storm resounded from within his body.

Chen Yan breathed in the wild wind and circulated the Red Gang Body Casting Canon; fortunately, the Red Gang Body Casting Canon had already reached the subtle stage, otherwise digesting so many Wind Discipline Fruits at once would be no different from seeking death.

Chen Yan slowed his eating speed, and under the circulation of the Red Gang Body Casting Canon, those currents of wind gathered toward his muscles and tendons.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

It was as if countless wind apertures were entrenched between Chen Yan's hair, and as they intertwined, Chen Yan was draped in a wild wind.

Boom, boom, boom!

The whistling sound grew louder and louder; Chen Yan was like someone situated in a cocoon of wind, and every time a current of wind slashed out, the surrounding Rock Wall shattered, and stone fragments flew everywhere.

If merely the leaking wisps of wind could cause stone fragments to fly, then the torment Chen Yan was suffering inside his body at this moment was even more unimaginable.

His muscles and tendons were being devoured, restored, and then devoured again.

Chen Yan's pupils gradually became bloodshot.

In his heart, he gradually understood the words Luo Puxin had once spoken.

Horizontal Refinement could save one's life; at first, Chen Yan only thought that Horizontal Refinement strengthened oneself, and that having great strength would allow him to survive.

But now, Chen Yan had a different understanding.

Horizontal Refinement is bitter, and reaching a powerful level of Horizontal Refinement is even harder than ascending to heaven.

Precisely because of this, when you practice, you are suffering, so when the suffering of the Outer Realm descends, it will not make you scream in fear or panic.

In fact, the torment Chen Yan suffered during that great battle with the Green-Eyed Ancient Divine Beast was not as severe as what he was suffering during this cultivation.

Horizontal Refinement is the tempering of the human body into a boulder, a boulder that remains unmoved like a mountain.

Let the winds blow from the East, West, South, or North; I remain as immovable as a heavenly reef.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared at the corners of Chen Yan's mouth.

Within the Po Saint Realm, streams of green light like river waves poured onto the Breaking Saint Tree.

The Body Character Po Sheng Fruit grew rapidly.

【Body: 84/100】

85!

86!

…………

90!

…………

The progress might be very slow, but now, every point of progress the Body Character Po Sheng Fruit gained represented seventy percent of the progress of previous Po Sheng Fruits!

Chen Yan waved one hand, and the Black Clothes on his body fluttered far away.

On his chest, a faint light was blooming, and ink-colored Grain Marks like coiled dragons, tigers, clouds, and water emerged.

The Grain Marks were entrenched between the contours of Chen Yan's muscles, outlining a totem that appeared Zhuang Jue and profound.

New Tendon Patterns began to condense!

The thirteenth!

The fourteenth!

The fifteenth!

Chen Yan suddenly punched out; this force erupted from his waist, extended through his arm, with strength like a dragon emerging and Qi like a cloud waterfall.

Boom!

The Rock Wall in front of him was suddenly shattered, revealing a giant pit three meters deep.

This was merely the result of Chen Yan lightly throwing a punch.

His strength had not become more powerful, nor did he use any other Technique.

If it were before, it might not have reached seventy percent of this damage.

However, after the Tendon Patterns became powerful, the body's flexibility became extremely strong, making Chen Yan truly feel for the first time that he was a single whole.

The body was further heading toward perfect integration.

The sixteenth!

The seventeenth!

The eighteenth!

Chen Yan's Round Eyes suddenly widened, his Tendon Patterns having reached the limit of the Extreme Forging Realm.

But he had not yet swallowed the soon-to-mature Body Character Po Sheng Fruit, and there were still twenty-five Wind Discipline Fruits remaining.

Chen Yan's Mu Guang shifted slightly; he did not choose to continue condensing Tendon Patterns, but instead surged the energy of the Wind Discipline Fruits toward his bones and skin.

He currently had fifteen Bone Patterns and Fourteen Skin Patterns.

He had not yet reached the limit of the Extreme Forging Realm.

Continue tempering!

Inside the wind cocoon, a Clang sound erupted from Chen Yan's body.

The bones inside his body had shattered!

The next moment, they began to reorganize.

Chen Yan's Round Eyes widened, his Mouth agape; this wave of pain was actually even more agonizing than the tempering of the Tendon Patterns.

Compared to the Thunder Flame flower, this Wind Discipline Fruit was truly a bit too brutal.

Sss, sss, sss...

At the same time, the skin all over Chen Yan's body began to become a bloody mess; layers of skin flakes were shredded by the wind blades, only to begin recovering under the influence of the Life Force energy within the wind currents.

The newly born skin became even more delicate, fair to the point where pores were invisible.

Chen Yan's Frost Mo were tightly shut, and his whole body began to tremble.

Endure.

At the same time.

In the deepest part of the Mountain Cave.

Hiss...

A snake's hiss sounded; a White Snake was coiled within a Stone crevice, hissing, its snake eyes flickering with immense fear.

Yet, on the other side of the Blood Pool, the previously bloody Green-Eyed Ancient Divine Beast now had armor growing over half its body, and a Cold Light flickered within one Green Pupil.

"Are you sure... you saw it?"

It murmured aloud.

"Hiss..." the White Snake hissed.

"Then come here," the Green-Eyed Ancient Divine Beast said in a low voice.

"Hiss!" the White Snake hissed, full of resistance and terror.

Boom!

A piece of human bone fragment suddenly surged up, piercing through the White Snake's Brain.

"What is it, child?"

Inside the Ice Chamber, the Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast spoke in surprise:

"It is at least helping you hunt humans; if you want to kill it, it is best to do it later."

"Heh heh heh heh..." the Green-Eyed Ancient Divine Beast instead let out a low, Laughing sound, blood splashing from its body:

"What a coincidence, what a coincidence."

A trace of madness flickered within its Green Pupil:

"That human boy I deceived is coming over."

"Is it him?" The Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast had eyes all over its body, some half-open, some closed, some revealing astonishment:

"Since that is the case, just kill him later."

She did not care; after all, according to her child, that human boy's strength was low, and he was as stupid as a Mammoth.

"He is not easy to kill; I can beat him easily, but my body is still in the process of recovery," the Green-Eyed Ancient Divine Beast said.

The astonishment in the Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast's eyes grew even greater; clearly, just a moment ago, her child had been extremely confident.

How was it that after that human boy arrived, the confidence seemed to have been lost somewhat?

Although she thought this way, the Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast still comforted it:

"It is fine, my child's body will be repaired soon."

Yet, the Green-Eyed Ancient Divine Beast at this moment slightly raised its chin and suddenly roared toward the Ancient Beasts outside the Mountain Cave:

"You... all of you, move out and stop him for me!!!"
