The dilapidated, blackened ground was covered in blood, flesh, severed limbs, and broken bones—a gruesome sight...
The bronze-armored corpse's head was blasted off to the base of the wall, and its torso was also shattered into pieces, scattering everywhere.
The bronze-armored corpse, feared by countless cultivators, perished in this way.
Su Feng slowly stood up and loosened his muscles.
A fierce hand-to-hand combat battle taught him a lesson he could never forget.
I've never felt so exhilarated before...
It felt like I was completely absorbed in the battle, and before I knew it, it was over...
"Alright, let's get down to business."
Killing the bronze-armored corpse was just a condition; what he really wanted to do was to take all the yin energy surging within the ancestral hall for himself!
"Heavenly Derivation, purify the Yin energy here."
After giving the order to Tianyan, Su Feng sat cross-legged beside the three-meter-deep pit.
The yin energy is being purified.
As the Heavenly Evolution notification sounded, wisps of black mist slowly rose from the cave, enveloping overhead.
The purification process doesn't take too long, but the absorption that follows is the main event.
Having already experienced it firsthand in the church, Su Feng was fully prepared this time.
After reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining, every breakthrough felt like a torment that took him on a journey through hell.
It has a kind of excruciating pain, like having your bones ripped out and your flesh quenched, but it gives you endless pleasure afterward!
This rollercoaster-like experience captivated him.
"coming……"
I felt a cool sensation constantly flowing down from the top of my head.
An extremely unique yet wondrous feeling began to penetrate deep into every hair on his body and every nerve.
With all five senses shut off, I was completely immersed in this wonderful experience.
Immediately afterwards, that familiar feeling returned.
The boundless spiritual energy condensed in his dantian, transforming into a ball of heat that enveloped Su Feng's body!
"hiss--"
A piercing pain struck, and Su Feng tensed up, forcibly enduring it, his teeth grinding together.
Sweat began to bead on my forehead, and my neck and the area below it began to feel numb and covered by heat. All I could feel was the endless heat.
It's like being at the bottom of a volcanic rock, letting the scalding, boiling lava splash all over you.
Finally, after the spiritual energy was absorbed to a critical point, a breakthrough was achieved!
The eighth level of Qi refining!
Purple energy surged to the top of his head, and his power began to uncontrollably scatter outwards!
The powerful energy transformed into invisible walls of energy, isolating everything within a hundred meters!
The interior of the ancestral hall was thrown into chaos, with walls cracking, ceilings flying off, and everything teetering on the brink of collapse.
Meanwhile, the three disciples of Master Nine, who were completely unaware of the situation, also encountered an unprecedented shock outside!
The sudden surge of power slammed into the three closest people, sending them tumbling several times on the ground and nearly plunging off the cliff.
"master!"
"what happened?!"
In his panic, Qiu Shengwen clung tightly to the tree roots to prevent himself from being blown away by the strong wind.
Uncle Nine was even more overwhelmed, drawing his peach wood sword and planting it in the ground to ward off the powerful energy ahead...
But this is undoubtedly unnecessary.
Click!
The peach wood sword forged from lightning-struck wood snapped in two, and Uncle Nine was blown several meters away.
"What on earth happened inside?!"
Uncle Nine forced himself to his feet and retreated with difficulty outside the range of the powerful energy, but the shock in his heart only increased.
This is... spiritual energy?
Who posted this?
How could it be so terrifying?!
However, there were only two people inside the ancestral hall, which was clearly not something the bronze-armored corpse could have caused! There was only one possibility left…
The next moment, a roar erupted from inside the ancestral hall!
It's Su Feng's voice!
"Master! Young Master Su is calling from inside! Does he need our help?!" Qiu Shengwen shouted loudly from the side.
But Uncle Nine couldn't take a single step forward and could only shake his head, "No! We can't get any closer!"
This area is terrifying!
Even Uncle Nine couldn't withstand it!
It felt as if every second you stayed there would destroy your nerves, and the heat emanating from it was something no ordinary person could withstand!
……
Da da da!
At the foot of the mountain, Jiang Dalong was leading an elite team, marching in neat formation, hurrying towards the ancestral hall at the top of the mountain.
Just then, a roar that seemed to pierce the sky came from the mountaintop, startling Jiang Dalong.
"Holy crap! Who's screaming like that?"
Jiang Dalong panicked a little, feeling that returning to the ancestral hall was not a good idea.
But now that so many soldiers have come to his aid, what has he to fear?
"Damn it! Hurry up! Everyone, speed up the pace!"
To be cowardly before even fighting is the mark of a deserter! How could someone as dignified as Jiang Dalong do such a disgraceful thing!
Holding a leather whip, he kept slapping the ground and sped up to continue running up the mountain.
……
After an unknown amount of time, the heat around me gradually subsided.
The heat that had penetrated his body also died down.
Su Feng lay on the ground, drenched in sweat, panting heavily.
He was so sweaty he could soak the ground...
This breakthrough brought Su Feng joy, but the pain he felt was far more intense and terrifying than when he broke through to the seventh level before!
He had been suffocating for quite a long time and felt like he was about to die here.
"I never expected that this breakthrough would be so much more difficult than the battle itself."
The battle against the bronze-armored corpse didn't even break a sweat for him...
But one breakthrough left him completely exhausted.
Although my body is now ice-cold, as if I were reborn, it feels like every nerve and muscle is brimming with boundless power.
But Su Feng simply didn't have the strength to try now.
The spiritual energy above his head was still so abundant that he couldn't absorb it all.
"No way."
Su Feng slowly got up, deciding not to continue.
Getting fat in one bite is not a good idea, especially since this bronze-armored corpse has absorbed at least thirty years' worth of the essence of the sun and moon.
The abundance of spiritual energy there was beyond his imagination.
To think that one could digest decades' worth of spiritual energy in such a short time is simply wishful thinking.
Having already achieved the goal of breaking through to the eighth level, it is no longer advisable to continue "forcing oneself to consume" spiritual energy. If one becomes greedy and is overwhelmed by the spiritual energy, it would be a laughing stock.
Su Feng didn't intend to waste the remaining spiritual energy, so he took out the spirit stones he had previously looted from Qian Kai from his Qiankun bag.
There were a full twenty of them.
Each spirit stone is about the size of a palm, and one stone can absorb a lot of spiritual energy, making it as practical as a "storage jar".
"Oh right, there's one more piece."
Su Feng suddenly remembered something and rummaged through his Qiankun bag.
"Almost forgot about you."
He took out a uniquely shaped, crystal-clear spirit stone from the bag.
It was even slightly larger than those inside the box...
"I got it from the feng shui master, but I haven't had a chance to use it yet."
Rather, it's only at times like this that I remember it; the rest of the time it's just been sitting in my storage bag like trash.
【Drip】
[Unknown object detected. Proceed with parsing...]
Tianyan's voice also came at this moment.
"No need, I don't have time."
He didn't know how much time had passed since his breakthrough. Uncle Jiu and the others were still waiting outside, but there was no time for Tianyan to analyze the object; he needed to use it now.
Although I don't know the quality of this spirit stone, since it's larger than other spirit stones, it must hold more.
