Chapter 638

"Hoo hoo~"

Invisible gusts of wind blew up in the martial arts room, and dazzling golden light emerged from Lin Qi's body.

The Jin Di Gangjin, like mercury, flowed rapidly in his body, wrapping around the source energy crystal in his stomach.

The moment it was wrapped, it was like a sluice gate being opened, and the source energy within it erupted with a boom.

"Hoo hoo!!"

Lin Qi widened his eyes, his body couldn't stop shaking, veins bulged, and a terrifying aura was released, setting off a violent gale like a shockwave.

Massive source energy was released from the crystal.

And his body cells began to crazily absorb the source energy.

Every part of his body was filled with a large amount of source energy, which was absorbed by cells to initiate transformation.

Physical fitness was constantly improving.

At the same time, Lin Qi operated the source vein, mobilized the Gangjin, and wanted to condense the second source vein.

According to the content recorded in the Air-Traversing Realm, connect the 12 acupuncture points on the chest according to a specific trajectory.

Although it was said that it couldn't be successful, in the process of condensation, it could also accelerate the digestion of source energy, stimulate acupuncture points, and crazily absorb the massive source energy in the body.

He now had a feeling of being stuffed.

He could only continuously absorb and digest; golden light radiated from his body, and three layers of golden patterns also emerged, changing like flexible tadpoles.

Three days later

The martial arts room was still filled with rich source energy.

Lin Qi opened his eyes suddenly; the heavy Qi and blood in his body flowed, his body cells were full, and the transformation was complete.

Endless power surged from within his body.

The most rigid and most yang, sharp and peerless Golden power emerged from his body, and the Golden Gangjin, like a solid, attached to the surface of his body.

【You consumed a source energy crystal, absorbed the massive source energy within it, physical strength greatly improved, Qi and blood value +2000】

【Qi and blood value: 43250 -> 45250】

Lin Qi stood up slowly and nodded secretly looking at the improved Qi and blood value.

The source energy crystal was even more powerful than he imagined, actually improving his Qi and blood value by 2000 in one go.

Bringing him one step closer to condensing the second source vein.

With his talent, condensing 9 source veins was a sure thing.

About 6000+ Qi and blood value condenses one source vein.

Now it was only a thousand or so Qi and blood value away.

"This 1 million Deep Space Coins, spent really worth it!"

Lin Qi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but sigh; ordinary people didn't have 1 million Deep Space Coins.

So they couldn't purchase source energy crystals to greatly improve their cultivation speed.

They could only rely on time to slowly grind.

He still had one source energy crystal on him, enough for him to condense the second source vein.

"Woo woo woo~"

The next instant, a golden light pounced into his arms; looking down, it was Xiaotian.

"Hungry..."

Xiaotian released its strong emotions, and a pair of eyes revealed a look of grievance.

Lin Qi glanced at the time and realized that 3 days had already passed.

"Sorry, I accidentally spent three days."

Lin Qi apologized; although Xiaotian could absorb source energy, its body would still feel hungry.

This feeling of hunger was not easy to bear.

So he immediately released all the disaster beast flesh and blood.

"Woo-woo~"

"Shoo~"

At this time, Xiaotian, like teleportation, rushed into the box and began to eat heartily.

And Lin Qi stretched his body and walked out of the martial arts room.

Arriving in the living room, he found that his brother and sister were still sleeping.

Beside them, a metal sphere was suspended in the air, protecting the two children at all times.

Lin Qi looked at the two children, his body and mind were also very relaxed, feeling that the whole home was indeed different.

Touching his brother and sister's little faces, he went out to stroll in the yard again.

"Unknowingly, I'm almost 22 years old!"

Lin Qi thought of his birthday; his birthday had already passed.

But he didn't plan to celebrate it; he was too young and still had thousands of years of lifespan.

Celebrating his birthday every year was really troublesome; just eating a cake at home was enough.

"I have also officially graduated."

Lin Qi remembered the message Dean Liu sent him yesterday.

Asking him to return to Cangqiong Martial Arts University to collect his graduation certificate.

He also planned to go back, but it would be in July.

Feeling the cool wind blowing on him, Lin Qi's senses were magnified, and he could clearly see every corner within a hundred-meter range.

Ants in the grass, other insects, and the texture on fallen leaves.

His ears could also clearly hear the wind, airflow, and the sounds of various intelligent devices operating in the house.

"The breath of nature!"

Lin Qi looked at the courtyard in front of him, with trees growing and lush grass.

He calmed his heart to feel nature, and his power of perception was also released.

In all things in the air, there was source energy; trees were absorbing source energy and were also slowly changing.

All things in nature have laws, and the universe also has laws.

The entire universe, everything, is built from the power of laws.

Lin Qi's own spear technique was not far from the sixth stage.

The sixth-stage spear technique was still a domain; besides that, it also needed to comprehend a point of the law.

Once a point was comprehended, the realm would break through to the sixth stage, and combat power would also receive a huge improvement.

And what was most compatible with him was the metal attribute; once he comprehended a point of the Metal Law.

He would be able to quickly break through to the sixth-stage spear technique.

However, this was very difficult.

Countless Air-Traversing Realm geniuses were stuck at this step.

In the Lieyang Dao Academy, very few had achieved it.

He also had a long distance to go now; he needed to first reach 90% of the fifth stage and comprehend the killing move of the Five Styles of Golden Edge.

Then polish it to 99% of the fifth stage.

Go and comprehend that point of the Metal Law.

Lin Qi felt nature and quickly clarified the path he was going to take next.

After he finished comprehending, his spear technique didn't improve, but he had a trace of comprehension about the invisible power of laws.

This was his accumulation; at the critical moment, all the accumulation would burst forth, and he would break through directly.

In the evening, his father Lin Zhen returned, and also brought his uncle Fang Zhe, as well as another acquaintance—Xu Changfeng.

Everyone sat in the living room, chatting while eating.

After a long time, the majesty on Xu Changfeng's body was getting heavier and heavier.

He looked at Lin Qi; the first time he saw Lin Qi, the other party was still weaker than himself, just a Fifth Realm martial artist.

As a result, two or three years passed in a blink of an eye, and the other party soared into the sky like a rocket.

Sixth Realm, Seventh Realm, Eighth Realm...

Now he had even broken through to the Ninth Realm Air-Traversing, becoming the most top-tier martial artist in the entire Blue Star.

Xu Changfeng drank a glass of wine and sighed:

"Lin Qi, to be honest, the most correct decision I've made in my life is doing business with you guys."

"Now, the attitude of our Xu family toward me is different."

"I am really very grateful; in the future, if there are any difficulties, I will definitely not refuse if I can help."

Lin Qi nodded and said: "Then thank you very much."

His father's time in business was still too short, and he still needed Xu Changfeng to help.

If the other party could help, he was also grateful in his heart.

After dinner in the evening, his father Lin Zhen and uncle Fang Zhe continued to drink with Xu Changfeng.

They were martial artists with strong physical fitness and could drink for several hours.

And Lin Qi himself returned to the martial arts room.

Inside, there were empty boxes all over the floor, and the tens of tons of second-stage disaster beast flesh and blood had all entered Xiaotian's stomach.

And after it was full, it was sleeping in the corner at this time, radiating heat.

Lin Qi collected the empty boxes and ordered another 200 tons of second-stage disaster beast flesh and blood on the internet.

And he himself chose to go to bed.

The next day, Universe Virtual World, Lieyang Dao Academy, in front of Lieyang Mountain.

"Lin Qi, you guy, you actually broke through?"

"How could it be so fast?"

At this time, Sun Sheng, wearing a white robe and having a tall figure, looked at Lin Qi and shook his head, sighing.

Li Tianxing, wearing red clothes and having handsome features, said: "That's because you are too weak."

Sun Sheng clenched his fist and said: "I have already opened 101 acupuncture points, and there are 7 more acupuncture points, and I will be able to break through to the Air-Traversing Realm."

"Once I get the first place, I will choose to break through!"

Li Tianxing also nodded and said:

"You won't get the first place; you will only be the second place."

Sun Sheng said disdainfully: "Li Tianxing, you have always been unable to compare, and this time is the same."

Lin Qi looked at the two and also placed his gaze on the huge Lieyang List.

Now, as he broke through to the Air-Traversing Realm, he also automatically disappeared from the Aperture-Refining List.

Wanting to enter the top 100 of the Air-Traversing Realm, the difficulty would also be greater.

Sun Sheng beside him followed Lin Qi's gaze and also looked at the Lieyang List.

"Lin Qi, the top 100 of the Air-Traversing Realm list is not easy to enter."

"Many geniuses haven't broken through and chose to stay in the Air-Traversing Realm just to get a higher ranking in the Deep Space Genius Competition."

"So not only are there top geniuses who just broke through the Aperture-Refining Realm, but there are also geniuses who are already at the peak of the Air-Traversing Realm."

"The current Air-Traversing Realm Lieyang List can be said to have gathered the most geniuses."

"Wanting to enter the top 1000, the difficulty has increased several times compared to other times."

Li Tianxing also said: "That's right, our Blue Star's Ninth Realm martial artists also didn't choose to break through to the Universe Second Realm."

"For example, Senior War God, he is already at the peak of the Air-Traversing Realm and is now ranked 5th."

"Everyone doesn't want to let Senior War God break through; after all, there are only two years left now."

"Breaking through now, in the Deep Space Genius Competition, might lead to being eliminated in the Triangulum Galaxy Selection Competition."

"The Lu Guanzhu, that was because he couldn't continue to suppress it anymore, so he chose to break through."

"With the Lu Guanzhu's talent, even among all Air-Traversing Realm martial artists, he is the most top-tier."

Lin Qi looked at the leaderboard and nodded; although the War God's talent and combat power were good.

He could be ranked 5th on the Lieyang List.

But everyone felt that there was a huge gap between the War God and the Red Emperor.

Even in the Deep Space Genius Competition, he would be the most top-tier existence.

And the Red Emperor was also the richest person in Blue Star, and there was no lack of cultivation resources.

The speed of realm improvement would only be faster.

The War God couldn't do it; his risk of breaking through to the Universe Second Realm was too great.

If his strength wasn't enough and he was eliminated early, it would be very embarrassing.

At that time, he would have to wait another hundred years.

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi looked at the Lieyang List and smiled:

"It's interesting only when there are many experts; otherwise, it's too easy to reach the top, and the honing effect on me is not strong enough!"

"Let's go!"

After speaking, he stepped into Lieyang Mountain first.

Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing looked at each other and also entered Lieyang Mountain together.

On the towering mountain, the sky was shrouded by a dark red sphere that blocked out the sun.

Lin Qi, wearing black-gold battle armor, appeared, holding a black-gold spear in one hand, his whole body radiating golden sharpness.

His feet stepped on the rocks on the ground.

Looking up at the thousand-meter insect nest in the sky, a terrifying pressure was released, and a strong sense of oppression shrouded the entire mountain.

With his breakthrough, the insect nest also became larger, and the pressure it radiated also became more terrifying.

Aperture-Refining Realm martial artists, under this pressure, could only exert half of their strength.

【Martial artist Lin Qi from the Blue Star civilization, congratulations on successfully breaking through to the Universe First Realm Air-Traversing!】

【Due to your realm breakthrough, you will be transferred to the Air-Traversing Realm Lieyang List; your ranking needs to be recalculated!】

【Lieyang Mountain First Gate: Please kill 100 insect warriors...】

【Countdown:... 3, 2, 1】

【The first gate test officially begins!】

Lin Qi looked at the popped-up information; he had broken through to the Air-Traversing Realm, and the content of the test was no different from the Aperture-Refining Realm.

The only difference was that all the opponents had become Air-Traversing Realm.

"Shoo shoo!!"

Soon, 100 insect warriors flew out from the insect nest.

Compared to the Aperture-Refining Realm, their bodies became more robust, and the aura on their bodies also became stronger.

Every muscle and carapace seemed to have undergone transformation, and the aura became more terrifying.

However, this bit of pressure, to Lin Qi, was like a breeze brushing his face, having no effect at all.

"100 insect warriors, really few!"

Lin Qi sighed in his heart; he had faced 5000 insect warriors.

Looking at it now, these 100 insect warriors were indeed too few.

"Boom!!"

The next instant, the insect empress with a hot figure released a mental shock.

This time, it released a mental spike dozens of meters long, penetrating the void, as if it could pierce everything.

Lin Qi felt danger, and the Starfire Tower in the consciousness space instantly appeared.

"Block!!"

The Starfire Tower vibrated, as if hit by a giant hammer; the spike shattered, causing the tower body to roar.

Lin Qi's brain also shook, fortunately, no damage was done.

"The insect empress's mental power has also greatly improved."

"Shoo shoo shoo!"

Facing the insect warriors rushing over, Lin Qi exploded out on the spot, the source vein started, and the heavy Gangjin in his body surged out.

Golden spear Gangjin condensed around his body, shooting out crazily.

Because the speed was too fast, it exploded at the speed of the sound barrier.

"Bang bang bang!!"

The air exploded, countless sharp edges were released, cutting the surrounding air.

The insect warriors hit by the spear Gangjin had their hard carapaces instantly shattered, their bodies penetrated and exploded, their bodies blown apart, turning into nothingness, dying instantly.

Their combat power was far worse than Lin Qi's former opponent Rouyu.

The other party's leaf blade could only be on par with his own Gangjin.

Let alone ordinary insect warriors.

As soon as the battle started, over 30 insect warriors were killed.

And Lin Qi also followed closely, rushing into the insect warriors.

Golden silk threads appeared; in the golden domain, all insect warriors were suppressed.

"Puff puff puff~~"

Lin Qi performed spear techniques, thrusting the spear in his hand, the spear tip shaking, like golden silk threads.

Instantly penetrating the bodies of all insect warriors.

Under Lin Qi's attack, the insect warriors were like targets, their bodies penetrated.

They were all Air-Traversing Realm insect warriors, not weak in any civilization.

But now they were being slaughtered easily.

10 minutes later, all insect warriors were dead.

The first gate ended.

Lin Qi didn't look closely at the popped-up information and chose to enter the second gate directly.

"Hum hum!!"

In the second gate, the opponents became 300 insect warriors, and the insect empress's mental shock was strengthened again.

But it had little effect on Lin Qi; the spear Gangjin shot out, easily penetrating the bodies of the insect warriors.

After the "Jin Di Secret Canon" was perfected, the power of his released Gangjin was also stronger.

It took 30 minutes to pass the third gate of Lieyang Mountain.

Next was the third gate of Lieyang Mountain; the insect warriors became 500, and at the same time, 50 fire ant warriors appeared.

Lin Qi also felt pressure; the insect empress's strength became stronger.

And the fire ant warriors' combat power was also very strong.

As soon as the battle started, the empress was the first to launch an attack.

"Hum hum!!"

"Dang dang!!"

In the consciousness space, the Starfire Tower kept making roaring sounds, and Lin Qi's brain also began to feel dizzy.

"Not good, this insect empress's strength has improved by a large margin, my mental power can't hold up."

Lin Qi shook his head; although his mental power had broken through to the Air-Traversing Realm early, he had even cultivated "Starfire Tower".

It was invincible in the Aperture-Refining Realm.

But when it reached the Air-Traversing Realm, it didn't work.

"Shoo shoo!!"

At the same time, the fire ant warriors also rushed to the front, their whole bodies wrapped in red flames, and the red sickles on their arms cut through space.

Slashing at Lin Qi at extreme speed!

"Puff~"

But what greeted it was a fatal spear, instantly penetrating its chest and dying.

"Bang bang!"

At the same time, the long-range attacks of other insect warriors were also launched.

Lin Qi had to operate his body technique to dodge; he couldn't fly, and the flexibility of flying was too poor, only making him a living target.

Facing the siege, he was simply too familiar.

Golden light combo was performed, this time it was two hundred golden light combos!

The improvement of physical fitness and the re-refining of Gangjin allowed his power-exertion techniques to operate more smoothly.

"Puff puff~~"

The moment he made a move, two insect warriors were poked into a hornet's nest.

While waving his spear technique, insect warriors fell down.

He was already too familiar with "World-Destroying Spear Canon".

Now with the improvement of the realm, the improvement of perception, the ability to mobilize cells also became more powerful.

The difficulty of controlling cells was also falling in a straight line; in a short while, a large amount of comprehension emerged in his mind.

Spear technique improved, and body technique was also improving.

His movements became more agile, his attacks faster, and the connection between attack and defense became smoother.

Golden light combo

Killing move—Iron Prison!

Killing move—Instant Shadow Thousand Rays!

Five Styles of Golden Edge!

Except for the killing move of "Golden Edge Chapter"—Thousand Mountain Crack, which he hadn't comprehended.

Other geniuses had all mastered it, and in battle, they performed it like flowing water.

In the fight with the insect warriors, opponents fell one by one.

One hour later

Lin Qi was finally submerged by insect warriors in the moment of distraction during the insect empress's shock.

【Martial artist Lin Qi from the Blue Star civilization, it is a pity that you have died; time taken: 1 hour 05 minutes 32 seconds!】

【Congratulations on your ranking on the Lieyang List improving from 1200th to 345th!】

【Yes/No to spend 100 Deep Space Coins to continue the test?】
