Hum!
A palm-sized silver space appeared in front of Xiao Chen. It was crystal clear and shone with silver light. However, the space had only been formed for a moment before half of it collapsed and disappeared.
The destruction of the collapsed half of the space also took away the air in front of Xiao Chen, forming a fist-sized hole. As for the original small part of the air, it seemed to have disappeared into thin air, annihilated in the destruction of the space.
Annihilation!
The small space that Xiao Chen had created had directly broken in the middle, and the air in the middle had been directly cut apart.
Phew!
Letting out a long breath, Xiao Chen opened his eyes. Although his entire body seemed very tired, his eyes were bright and there was a hint of joy in them.
After such a long time in seclusion, he had completely refined the five Space Pill Stars of the Void Whale Shark, and he had also devoured its entire flesh. He had finally comprehended a little bit of the mysteries of the Great Way of Space.
Spatial annihilation!
The space that had just been created in his hand had shattered, and it was the scene of annihilation.
However, the space in Xiao Chen's hand was very immature, but he could see the big from the small. Once his understanding of the mysteries of space deepened, he could directly annihilate the space that his opponent was in, causing them to enter a chaotic hole in the void. It was simply a destructive attack.
The Great Way of Space was not just annihilation. It also derived space. Xiao Chen had comprehended the Great Way of Space through the derivation and destruction of space.
Just getting started with the Great Way of Space had taken too much time for Xiao Chen. Fortunately, with Azure's help, he had 100 times the time to comprehend it. Otherwise, who knew how long it would have taken for Xiao Chen to get started.
Of course, Xiao Chen had only comprehended the Great Way of Space at the moment. If he wanted to reach the minor realm, he would have to pay an even greater price. Right now, he could barely be considered to have comprehended 10% of the Great Way of Space.
Without getting up, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and rested once more. The power of space that he had gathered up began dissipating away and his body became somewhat slack. The power of space could be said to be the sharpest blade in existence. Xiao Chen's War Physique found it hard to endure.
Thankfully, his qi and blood were powerful and could repair the damages caused by the spatial force constantly. Even so, after being eroded by the spatial force for such a long time, even with the help of elixirs, pills and primordial stones, his qi, blood and battle qi were still a great burden to him.
"Master, you've already comprehended the mysteries of space?"
Liuli naturally sensed Xiao Chen's awakening and quickly appeared in front of Xiao Chen.
"That's right." Xiao Chen nodded.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Xiao Chen raised his eyes and looked at the blood aura that Liu Li had summoned.
"Master, these are the blood aura that the Blood-Fusing Pagoda refined from the two foreign legendary powerhouses before you entered secluded cultivation. I haven't distributed them to the elders of the tribe yet. You'd better use them to replenish your blood aura first."
In front of Xiao Chen, there were strands of scarlet blood aura. There were nearly 2,000 strands of blood aura that converged into a red glow.
Whoosh!
Xiao Chen didn't refuse. He opened his mouth and all the blood aura in the sky converged, turning into a bucket-thick long river that was swallowed by Xiao Chen.
In an instant, blood aura floated out of Xiao Chen's body. Soon, faint black-red smoke rose from his body. It was the impurities in the blood aura. When Xiao Chen swallowed them, they were extracted and excreted out of his body.
After absorbing the blood aura, Xiao Chen's War Physique seemed to be a bit fuller. However, it was still far from the peak of his strength.
Most of the blood aura that was swallowed was used to nourish his flesh and blood. A small part of it was integrated into the Heavenly Veins and turned into Battle Qi, which was stored in Zhou Tian's Qi Sea.
Soon, a fist-sized blood core appeared in Xiao Chen's hand. He didn't refine it when he was comprehending the Space Divine Ability just now because he wanted to use it to advance to the Battle Qi Realm.
A blood core at the level of Half King of the Blood Race, which had been nourished by countless heavenly treasures, contained more medicinal power than the blood cores of other Blood Race members of the same realm.
The blood core in Xiao Chen's hand trembled a bit. A scarlet blood aura was emitted from the blood core. This blood aura was stained with a faint layer of golden radiance and was surging with energy as majestic as the sea.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Chen began to refine the blood core in his hand. He was ready to advance to the Legendary Realm of the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Heavenly Layer.
Now that the martial arts he cultivated had been extrapolated to the Heavenly Layer, the refining speed had increased by ten times. A steady stream of blood energy was drawn out from the blood core and devoured by Xiao Chen.
This was a fusion of blood energy and medicinal power. It was even purer than the Yuan Qi in high-grade primordial stones. Xiao Chen swallowed it into his body.
Rumble!
In an instant, there was a rumbling sound in his body. It was as if a ferocious beast was breathing. Every time he inhaled and exhaled, majestic blood energy would be sucked out from the blood core. His twelve Heavenly Veins were like surging tides, constantly absorbing the blood energy and medicinal power.
Inside Zhou Tian's Qi Sea.
Battle Qi was like a vast ocean, surging and surging. At this moment, because of the large amount of blood energy that was pouring into the ocean, huge waves were formed.
Through the circulation of the Heavenly Veins, large amounts of blood energy were assimilated into Battle Qi and poured into Zhou Tian's Qi Sea. His Qi Sea was also slowly expanding. Right now, Xiao Chen's Qi Sea was already more than 90,000 meters wide. It was definitely several times the size of a Qi Sea of a cultivator of the same level.
This was also thanks to the stability of his fleshly body that he could open up such a vast Qi Sea.
At this moment, Xiao Chen's entire body was emitting an aura that could absorb all rivers into the sea. It was as if he could absorb all the energy and convert it into his own Battle Qi.
Just like that, Xiao Chen's entire body glowed with a bright red light as he continuously absorbed the blood energy and raised his cultivation level.
Ten days later, Xiao Chen's entire body was enveloped in a layer of purplish-green light. The blood core had been completely absorbed. His black hair danced wildly in the wind. His aura was as deep as the ocean, even a little erratic. However, it was still as strong and majestic as the sun.
Rumble!
Inside his body, his battle qi was surging like an ocean, which constantly sounded like heavenly drums and thunders. It took him several hours to calm down.
Buzz!
When his eyes opened and closed, there was a flash of light that pierced through the void like lightning. This aura was extremely powerful.
Legendary Realm!
Finally, after refining the blood core, Xiao Chen's Battle Qi had advanced to the ninth layer of the Heavenly Building Realm, which was also the legendary realm that was rumored to be in the outside world!
Every warrior who could reach this step was a legend to everyone. Of course, this did not include those warriors who had advanced to the legendary realm by refining the Heavenly Building Realm left by their ancestors.
To be able to forge a ninth-grade Heavenly Building Realm and reach this step, it could be said that he had reached the peak of the mortal realm. It was enough to be called a legend. Take the Desolate Border for example. Out of the billions of clansmen in the past few years, he was the only one who had advanced to this realm!
And Xiao Chen had just reached the ninth layer of the Heavenly Building Realm. It was true that the Blood Core of the Half King of the Blood Race was full of blood power, but Xiao Chen had underestimated the amount of Battle Qi he had absorbed. It was just enough for him to break through to the next realm!
But no matter what, the current Xiao Chen was enough to be called a legendary powerhouse. At this moment, the Gu Yuan Tribe could also be called the legendary Hou Tribe!
In the Zhou Tian's Qihai.
The purple-green Battle Qi was vast, and the Heavenly Building of the Martial Path appeared in the center of the Qihai. At this moment, Xiao Chen's Heavenly Building of the Martial Path was completely lit up. Only the top of the Heavenly Building was still dim. That was the bright light that would set foot on the King's Path.
Buzz!
At this moment, on the Nine-Storey Building, there was a mysterious evolution. A silver-white dot was born in the Nine-Storey Building. The silver-white dot was invisible and formless, and it was impossible to see what it looked like.
Finally, it turned into a light dot that was imprinted on the Nine-Storey Building. But at first glance, this light dot seemed to contain an infinite space, and the space within it was constantly annihilated and born, in a cycle without an end.
This was the magical power of space that Xiao Chen had imprinted.
After imprinting the magical power of martial path, Xiao Chen began to stabilize his Battle Qi realm. Outside the Seal of Mountains and Rivers, there was another tribulation waiting for him. It was the Lightning Fire Tribulation from the third layer to the fourth layer of the Martial Artist, the Heavenly Fire Tribulation when advancing to the sixth layer, and finally the Destruction Tribulation when advancing to the ninth layer of the Legendary Realm.
What was Destruction?
This was the last tribulation for a martial artist to embark on the King's Path. This was the power of heaven, and it was a test of the martial artist's battle strength!
Martial artists also had to face five tribulations on the King's Path, but it was different from the Destruction Tribulation. The King's Path was a human tribulation that was triggered by the martial artist himself.
Desolate Border City.
The Desolate Border City had become lively again. The foreign tribe powerhouses of the Desolate Border Region had been killed, which greatly increased the security of the entire Desolate Border Region. At the same time, some martial artists who didn't dare to go out once again walked out of the tribe and went deep into the wilderness to hunt and gather.
At the city gate, there was a dense flow of people. They were all martial artists, constantly moving between the city and the city. There were many martial artists that stepped out of the desolate border city. The moment they stepped out of the city gate, they would raise their heads and look into the distance. In that direction, there was a tribe that made them revere it.
Ten miles away was where the ancient bronze city stood.
Martial artists rode on birds and beasts, rushing towards the Desolate Border City from all directions. In the past few years, the Desolate Border Region had been ravaged by the foreign tribes, and the martial artists had become even more valiant.
Groups of martial artists carried the bones and fur of the exotic beasts they hunted, or the spiritual herbs they collected, wanting to exchange them for some useful items for cultivation in the Desolate Border City.
Just as all the martial artists were busy with their own work, there was an indescribable pressure coming from the direction of the Gu Yuan Tribe.
Above the ancient bronze city, there was a huge thundercloud gathering, and the pressure covered a radius of several thousand feet. In the blink of an eye, the sky was covered by dark clouds.
Rumble!
Silver lightning shuttled through the clouds, and the terrifying pressure made the martial artists in front of the Desolate Border City's gate feel their hair stand on end, even though they were ten miles away.
Heavenly Tribulation!
Finally, some martial artists woke up and shouted in panic. There was a trace of fear in their eyes, and some martial artists who weren't mentally stable were so scared that they fled into the distance.
