Chapter 323, Breaking Through to Martial King Realm

Translator: Silavin

 

In a hidden cave, Qin Yichen sat cross-legged, his hands forming seals, like a monk in meditation. Around him, visible streams of energy continuously poured into his body due to the medicinal properties.

 

At this moment, the Yuan Energy in Qin Yichen’s Dantian had reached a point of overflowing, seeming as if just a bit more would break through the Dantian’s constraints and enter a higher realm.

 

This crucial moment finally arrived at a certain point as the medicinal properties dissipated.

 

The quiet atmosphere of cultivation had lasted for an unknown duration when suddenly, an extremely faint but distinct low sound appeared. Listening carefully, this sound came from within Qin Yichen’s body.

 

Shortly after this low sound emerged, Qin Yichen’s previously motionless meditative form suddenly trembled as if struck by lightning. Then, tremendous changes began occurring within his body.

 

First, the absorptive force consuming World Energy suddenly increased dramatically.

 

Under this force, the World Energy that had been slowly entering his body now rushed in like mad bulls, frantically surging into Qin Yichen’s body.

 

At this time, Qin Yichen’s body was like a bottomless pit, absorbing all incoming World Energy regardless of its magnitude. Moreover, this absorption force did not diminish after continuing for a while but grew increasingly stronger.

 

Finally, it caused the dense World Energy in this area to form into a massive energy vortex centered on Qin Yichen.

 

The powerful suction stirred up all the mighty World Energy.

 

The density of World Energy in the Twilight Tower was at least ten times that of the outside world. This terrifying World Energy vortex continued for about half an hour before gradually fading and calming down amidst a series of crisp bone-cracking sounds.

 

At this moment, inside Qin Yichen’s body, in his Dantian, the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl emitted brilliant light, with the True Dragon Soul being faintly visible. Before the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl, the Martial Body Bead’s Lightning Lion appeared almost tangible.

 

His meridians, seemingly expanded by the previous frenzied influx of World Energy, had also become much wider, with crystalline luster symbolizing their radically increased toughness.

 

“This feeling…” Qin Yichen’s tightly closed eyes remained shut as he murmured inwardly. With a thought, powerful streams of Yuan Energy suddenly surged from various parts of his body, finally flowing through his toughened meridians.

 

“This is?” Qin Yichen stared in surprise at the Yuan Energy rushing like floodwater. He could clearly see these streams of Yuan Energy emerging from various parts of his body, rather than circulating through the Dantian’s Martial Body Bead as before…

 

“No wonder Martial Kings can fly…” Qin Yichen seemed to understand something as his consciousness withdrew from his body. He slowly stood up and extended his palm.

 

*Hum…* As Qin Yichen’s palm slightly closed, he could feel the Yuan Energy joyfully coiling around his fingertips.

 

Sensing the Yuan Energy’s excitement, unusual light flowed in Qin Yichen’s eyes. [So this is the level of Yuan Energy control Martial Kings possess. No wonder they can fly!]

 

This was the gap between Martial Kings and Spirit Realm experts. In true experts’ eyes, only upon reaching the Martial King Realm could one truly be considered strong!

 

[The saying ‘All below the Martial King Realm are insects’ is indeed true!] After advancing to the Martial King Realm, Qin Yichen did not rush to leave. Instead, with a movement of his palm, a white Spirit Sword floated out.

 

[After advancing to the Martial King Realm, the Spirit Sword can also progress further!] Excitement surged in Qin Yichen’s eyes. The Spirit Sword was the ultimate Technique of the Sword Controlling Hermit. Its most excellent feature was that it would grow along with the cultivator’s cultivation level.

 

After nurturing to a certain degree, the Spirit Sword could even match Divine Weapons!

 

Under the transformation of his Yuan Energy, this originally milky white Spirit Sword began to change. Mystical Runes flowed across its slender blade.

 

Finally, the Spirit Sword’s colour became incredibly brilliant, and a piercing aura that made one shiver emanated from it!

 

Qin Yichen experimentally made a light cut on his arm with the Spirit Sword. Instantly, his tough skin was easily split open with a wound.

 

Seeing this wound, a pleased look flashed in his eyes.

 

His physical body’s toughness was no less than Martial King Realm Demonic Beasts, yet under this Spirit Sword, it was as soft as tofu! Moreover, this was without using Yuan Energy, purely from the Spirit Sword’s own sharpness.

 

“Hmm?” Just as Qin Yichen was still basking in the joy of power brought by his breakthrough, his brows suddenly furrowed, and his expression became solemn.

 

*Whoosh!* From far away, a figure shot through like an arrow leaving its bowstring, moving swiftly across the ground, his gaze fixed in Qin Yichen’s direction.

 

“Li Aofeng, if you hadn’t come to find me, I would have gotten impatient waiting to find you!” Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed as he withdrew the Spirit Sword into his body with a thought, emerging from his hiding place. Soon, Li Aofeng’s figure appeared in Qin Yichen’s sight.

 

“Qin Yichen!” Looking at Qin Yichen, killing intent filled Li Aofeng’s eyes.

 

“What? Miss me after not seeing me for a few days?” Qin Yichen smiled.

 

“I thought you would hide for a lifetime. Today, I will make sure you lie buried in your grave!” Li Aofeng said in a low voice, then the Yuan Energy around him began to violently surge.

 

“I’m afraid you don’t have that ability!” Qin Yichen snorted, gripping his palm as mighty Yuan Energy waves swept out.

 

“This fluctuation… Martial King Realm?!” Sensing Qin Yichen’s aura, Li Aofeng’s pupils contracted, shock flashing in his eyes. However, this trace of shock quickly transformed into intense killing intent.

 

[This bastard must have consumed the Twilight Spirit Fruit!]

 

But what he could not understand was, even with the Twilight Spirit Fruit, how could someone who had only reached the Peak of the Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm a day or two ago break through to the Martial King Realm!

 

“Didn’t you like surprises? There are even bigger surprises in store for you!” Qin Yichen’s expression tightened, his voice suddenly deepening.

 

With a wave of his arm, a powerful stream of Yuan Energy howled forth from his hand, charging toward Li Aofeng.

 

Where the Yuan Energy stream passed, the air seemed to explode. This casual strike was already comparable to Qin Yichen’s full-power attack from a few days ago!

 

“Hmph, nonsense!” Faced with this fierce attack, Li Aofeng coldly snorted and threw out a punch.
