After spending three days in a row, Zhang Ruochen completely refined the Third Grade Sacred Elemental Pill without encountering any bottlenecks, and successfully broke through to the Third Order Half-Saint.
In fact, the fact that he was able to break through so smoothly was also inextricably linked to his own Five Elements Chaotic Body and the large amount of divine blood that he had refined.
For other Half-Saints, even with the assistance of the Holy Yuan Pill, it was not as easy to break through.
After breaking through the realm, Zhang Ruochen’s Sacred Soul, which had become even more powerful, could mobilise the heaven and earth aura of a thousand miles in a radius for its own use.
“With my current cultivation level, even if I encounter a high-level Half-Saint, I can still have a sound battle.”
Zhang Ruochen raised his left hand and mobilised the Saint Qi in the Sea of Qi, running it through the Saint Vein and into his palm.
In the palm of his hand, the five major orifices opened in turn and began to crazily absorb heaven and earth aura, causing Zhang Ruochen’s palm to become heavier and heavier, as if it had transformed into a five-fingered mountain.
Within his arm, a low dragon roar resounded, and there was even a golden dragon shadow that emerged, wrapping his palm.
It could be imagined that if this palm were to strike out, even a Seventh Order Half-Saint might not be able to block it.
In the end, Zhang Ruochen didn’t strike the palm out, instead, he closed the five major orifices and withdrew his power, muttering to himself, “Dharma King Haixian is right, cultivating the Seven Orifices Blood Underworld Palm is indeed beneficial to me in many ways.”
“The power absorbed by the five major orifices is enough to increase the power of my Dragon Elephant Palm by 20%. If, however, I am able to open the sixth orifice, I might be able to increase my power by thirty percent.”
Opening five orifices, just the power of the Seven Orifices Blood Underworld Palm itself would be able to be compared to the Paramount Sage Art.
If one were to open six orifices, I’m afraid that the power of the Seven Orifices Blood Underworld Palm would be able to be compared to a true Saint Art.
For a Half-Saint to cultivate into a Saint Art was definitely a great achievement, enough to become a crushing killing move.
After all, even amongst high ranked Half-Saints, there were very few people who were able to cultivate a holy art to its great completion.
“Dharma King Hai Meditation said that the blood qi in the body of the Immortal Blood Clan is powerful, so they are able to punch through six or even seven orifices. The limit for humans can only punch through five orifices.”
“However, I have cultivated into the Five Elements Chaotic Body, and my physical body’s ability to withstand it far exceeds that of an ordinary person, so if I add the aid of divine blood, I might be able to break the limit of humans.”
No longer hesitating, Zhang Ruochen was ready to try it once.
Thus, he took out ten drops of divine blood in a row and placed them in front of his body, just in case.
First, he propped up the first drop of Divine Blood and used Holy Qi to wrap it. He then used the Sacred Qi to absorb the power contained in the divine blood into his palms.
If it was in the past, Zhang Ruochen would definitely have to inject the power of the divine blood into the meridians of his arms, flowing through the meridians throughout his body, and finally absorbing the divine blood completely.
This time was different, as he absorbed the power of the divine blood, into his palms, but blocked it into the blood veins of his arms, causing the blood qi contained in his arms to directly double.
“It’s not enough.”
Zhang Ruochen began to absorb the second drop of divine blood, still blocking the blood qi in both arms.
The blood qi contained in both arms reached three times its usual level.
By this point, Zhang Ruochen’s arms were so swollen that a blood-red meridian vein pattern emerged.
Fortunately, his fleshly body was strong, and his skin, meridians, and muscles had all been refined by thousands of times, so he could still withstand that force.
“Continue.”?Immediately after, Zhang Ruochen refined three more drops of divine blood in a row, and the blood qi contained in his arms reached six times the usual amount.
Finally, the bearing capacity of both arms, reached its limit.
In Zhang Ruochen’s mind, the mnemonic of the Seven Orifices Blood Underworld Palm emerged, pushing the blood qi in both arms to follow the luck route described in the mnemonic, and impacting into both palms.
“Boom!”
In the centre of the palms of both palms, two powerful blood qi palm energies surged out, breaking all the trees in a large mountain range dozens of feet away, and the sky was filled with wood shavings and fallen leaves flying about.
Zhang Ruochen raised his arm and looked at the double palms, a loud laugh escaping his mouth, ”Haha! Success! Successfully broke through the sixth orifice!”
His left hand, which had refined a Saint realm dragon soul and was therefore stronger, was not too traumatised when he broke through the sixth orifice.
The right hand, however, was different.
Zhang Ruochen’s right hand became a bloody mess. If, just now, that blood qi had been a bit more rigid, it would probably have directly burst and turned into a bloody mist.
From this, it could also be seen how difficult it was to open the sixth orifice, and even the Five Elements Chaotic Body was somewhat unable to withstand it.
Of course, suffering a little injury was nothing at all. As long as the sixth orifice was opened, it would be a great joyous event.
“Now that I’ve executed the Seven Orifices Blood Underworld Palm, the power that erupted from it, I wonder if I’ll be able to fight hard against an Eighth Order Half-Saint? With the added power of the six orifices, the Dragon Elephant Palm I strike is probably also comparable to the power of a Sacred Art.”Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
Punching through six orifices was by no means the limit.
Zhang Ruochen felt that if he put up a fight, there was even a chance that he could, in fact, punch open the seventh orifice.
The prerequisite was that he had to go and find a Saint realm Elephant Soul to refine into his right arm first. Otherwise, with the current strength of his right arm, it would definitely not be able to withstand the impact that opening the seventh aperture would bring.
In the next few moments, Zhang Ruochen began to consolidate the realm he had just broken through, while continuing to cultivate his Palm Technique and Sword Technique, constantly improving his strength.
Outside, only two days had passed, but Zhang Ruochen’s strength, however, had skyrocketed to a new height.
Zhang Ruochen travelled to Kongcheng Island and reported to Dharma King Hai Hei, then, independently, he flew in the direction of the Endless Abyss.
Before he left, Dharma King Hai Hei bestowed a scroll of holy decree upon him.
With this scroll of holy decree, in the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace, when he encountered danger, he would be able to inspire the power of the holy decree to escape.
……
The Endless Abyss was located in the depths of the Absolute Ancient Snow Mountain, where the climate was bitterly cold and the geography was quite complex, tens of thousands of miles deep, and it was impossible to reach it without a cultivation of Fish Dragon Realm or above.
Flying in mid-air, Zhang Ruochen looked downwards.
The ground was full of huge mountains covered in ice and snow, white as a silver dragon lying on the earth.
The height of some of these snowy mountains was much higher than the height he was currently flying at, emitting an ancient and majestic aura that inspired awe.
From time to time, Zhang Ruochen was able to hear, in the snowy mountains, deafening beast roars resounding, shaking the snowflakes in mid-air.
From this, it could also be seen that the Absolute Ancient Snow Mountain must be infested with a large number of ferocious beasts and was not as calm as it appeared.
Three hundred miles away, at the depression of a snowy mountain that was eight thousand metres high, there stood two silhouettes, a middle-aged woman wearing black armour, and an old man in his sixties.
The middle-aged woman, named Su Bai, was the sixth-ranked Flag Master of the First Battalion of the Yu Zi Heavenly Palace, with her cultivation reaching the realm of a seventh-ranked Half Saint.
That old man, named Zhao Shiqi, was close to two hundred years old, and was also a Flag Master of the First Battalion of the Psi Character Heavenly Palace, ranked slightly higher than Su Bai, and slapped at the fifth.
On Su Bai’s face, there was a grim look as he said, “Tidying up a second-ranked Half-Saint, Your Highness the Divine Son has actually invited the two of us to make a move, would it be too much of a fuss?”
In Zhao Shiqi’s hand, he cupped a white leaf the size of a bushel and smiled faintly, “Gu Linfeng’s strength is not weak, during the examination two days ago, it was said that he defeated the trio of Bai Yu, Ning Guihai, and Yan Kongming with the strength of one man. Today, he is already a rising star in the sect’s reputation, and his talent and potential, second only to the Divine Son and Holy Maiden, should definitely not be underestimated.”
“Furthermore, by borrowing the power of the Blood God Compass, he is even capable of erupting into the battle power of a Fifth Order Half Saint.”
“Plus sh Underworld Dharma King will definitely grant him a scroll of holy decree, and when he encounters danger, he can completely use the power of the holy decree to escape.”
“His Highness the Divine Son’s meaning, however, is to make sure to kill this person and not allow him to step into into the Yuyi Character Heavenly Palace. With such projections, it’s only the two of us joining forces that can ensure everything is safe.”
Su Bai rubbed his fists, looking a little disdainful, and said, “If it wasn’t for His Highness the Divine Son taking out three drops of Blood God Divine Blood as a reward, I wouldn’t have bothered to go out and deal with such a weak junior.”
“As I see it, the thing you’re really interested in should be the Rain Mio Blood Blade that Gu Linfeng took from Yan Kongming, right?”Zhao Shiqi laughed.
“Aren’t you interested?”Su Bai asked a rhetorical question.
Zhao Shiqi smiled faintly and did not continue to speak, instead, he mobilised his spiritual power.
A white celestial eye surfaced at the centre of his brow, looking towards the sky.
After a long time, Zhao Shiqi put away the heavenly eye and said, ”He has already flown over and is ready to make his move, so we must fight quickly. It would be best if we can sneak in and kill him in one strike.”
Zhao Shiqi didn’t realise that Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power was also quite powerful. It was when his Heavenly Eyes, glanced towards Zhang Ruochen, that Zhang Ruochen immediately detected it.
“What’s going on? Someone is actually using their Heavenly Eyes to observe my whereabouts, who the hell is it?”Zhang Ruochen was secretly flabbergasted.
The mental power of the counterpart was a bit more powerful than Zhang Ruochen’s, it should have already reached the forty-seventh rank, it must be a rather powerful character.
Why would such a powerful character appear in such a desolate place?
In the Blood God Sect, many evil powerhouses wanted to get rid of him and seize the Rain Mio Blood Blade. There were also some who wanted to kill him and re-compete for the Flag Master’s slot.
Since he knew his situation, Zhang Ruochen naturally had to be careful.
Zhang Ruochen’s flying speed remained the same, however, he mobilised his Saint Qi and transported it to his arm, ready to strike at any time.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen sensed a powerful cold aura that appeared above his head and, surged downwards rapidly.
“Junior, die for me.”
Su Bai, along with thousands of snowflakes, rushed out from the clouds at the same time, and swung out with a blade, dragging out a blood-red blade aura that was over a hundred metres long.
This blade, not only was it as fast as lightning, but it was also powerful.
Not to mention a person, even a mountain could be cleaved in half.
However, Zhang Ruochen had long been on guard, just as the blade Qi surged down. His figure, swaying in mid-air, performed a spatial shift and disappeared in place.
