Lin Zhen had no time to pay attention to the chaos happening in the outside world. After activating the Construct Boundary, he could only focus on dealing with the invasion of the Metal Qi.
Streaks of Metal Qi were like steel knives and iron needles that wandered all over Lin Zhen's body.
However, what corresponded to the Metal Qi was a wisp of cosmic origin that wandered all over the place, calming down the rampaging Metal Qi.
Lin Zhen gritted his teeth and held on for a while. He knew that this couldn't go on forever.
"This wisp of cosmic origin isn't endless. It will weaken as it continues to calm down the Metal Qi. The only way I can do this is to grasp the true essence of metal in the shortest time possible!"
"Only by grasping the true essence of metal can I truly use this Metal Qi without causing any harm. This is my only chance to survive."
Lin Zhen had grasped the power of water, thunder and light. These three elemental powers were relatively difficult to grasp, but the power of metal wasn't as easy to grasp either.
If thunder was the most violent, then metal was the most dangerous.
Even the majority of weapons were metal in nature. The most direct way to cause damage to an enemy wasn't water, fire, light or thunder, but metal!
Back on Earth, Lin Zhen had once comprehended the power of metal and could even emit rays of Metal Qi. Later on, the Metal Supplementation Technique had followed Lin Zhen and made great contributions during his battles.
However, what he had grasped was only the surface of metal.
In theory, if one grasped the true essence of metal, then pure metal wouldn't be able to cause any harm to them.
In fact, most metals weren't just made of metal, but also made of many other strange stones and wood. Therefore, even if one completely grasped the true essence of metal, they still couldn't completely resist external damage. Therefore, there were fewer people who cultivated the Metal Attribute than there were people who cultivated the Thunder Attribute!
It was the most difficult thing for ordinary people to grasp the Metal Attribute, because Metal Qi could cause fatal damage to a cultivator at any time.
After all, people who were born with the Metal Attribute like a hedgehog were extremely rare.
It wasn't difficult to grasp the Metal Attribute. For example, Lin Zhen had previously comprehended the Metal Attribute. The most important hurdle was to overcome the fear of metal in one's heart. Only then would one be able to grasp it.
This matter sounded very simple, but when it was really done, almost no one could do it.
The so-called overcoming of fear was to use Gold Qi to temper one's two seas!
Dantian Qi Sea!
Spiritual Sea!
The process of training was to have the Metal Qi penetrate the two seas, inside and out. As long as one did not fear the Metal Qi during this process and was in a state of meditation, one would be able to comprehend it.
But how could he not fear Jin?
For most people, seeing a needle about to pierce their blood vessels, they couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts. It was just that the more timid people might cry, while the more courageous people would be able to keep a straight face.
However, the fear in one's heart would more or less exist. As long as one was still a human, a living being of flesh and blood.
Perhaps those stone lifeforms wouldn't be afraid. People who didn't have pain nerves wouldn't be afraid. Unfortunately, such people were born with limited comprehension and would never be able to grasp the true essence of metal.
Even if one was a martialist or a god, their thinking was still from the perspective of a living being of flesh and blood. It was impossible for them not to fear Jin.
Some people dared to say that they would let the Metal Qi penetrate their bodies, but they definitely wouldn't dare to let the Metal Qi penetrate their two seas.
This was because they wouldn't die if their bodies were destroyed. However, if their dantian Qi Sea was destroyed, they would lose their divine power. If their spiritual sea was destroyed, they would lose their spiritual power. This was equivalent to the end of the martialist. Almost no one dared to try it.
Throughout the history of the universe, there had been many courageous martialists who thought they had no fear in their hearts who had tried to cultivate Gold Qi. However, in the end, out of 10,000 people, 9,999 would fall!
They thought that they were already useless, but when it came to real cultivation, as long as there was a trace of fear in their hearts, they wouldn't succeed.
This trace of fear might not even be noticed by the person themselves.
Most of the people who succeeded were either gifted or lucky. There were too few people who could overcome the Gold Qi!
And now, Lin Zhen had no choice. He could only give it a try.
Lin Zhen could easily endure the pain on his body. He wasn't afraid of the pain of being penetrated by the Metal Qi. Lin Zhen tried to cultivate.
However, Lin Zhen didn't dare to let the Metal Qi enter his two seas. If he failed, the consequences would be unbearable. Before he reached the peak, Lin Zhen didn't want to become a cripple.
The first thing he did was to let the Metal Qi penetrate his palm!
The Metal Qi didn't pass through on its own. Instead, Lin Zhen forcefully controlled a wisp of Metal Qi to pierce his palm.
The Metal Qi was as sharp as a needle. It pierced through his skin and flesh. Blood flowed out, but the wound healed.
During this process, Lin Zhen frowned slightly.
'So … I have fear in my heart too. The moment the Metal Qi was about to enter my body, my muscles instinctively contracted. If it weren't for my sensitive senses, I wouldn't have noticed this contraction.
'Don't underestimate this little contraction. This is a sign of fear, although it's almost undetectable.'
Lin Zhen didn't care about the Metal Qi penetrating his body. He closed his eyes slightly.
'This won't do. If I'm afraid of the pain of having the Metal Qi penetrate my palm, how can I talk about my mind penetrating my two seas? Lin Zhen, oh Lin Zhen, if you don't have this ability, then this will be your burial ground today.
'I'm not afraid of pain at all. This Metal Qi is nothing!'
Lin Zhen opened his eyes abruptly. He grabbed a beam of Metal Qi with one hand and stabbed it into his palm again!
"Puff!"
The Metal Qi penetrated his palm. Lin Zhen's muscles didn't move at all.
'It's done!'
Lin Zhen exhaled slowly. In that instant, he wasn't afraid at all. He decisively pierced his palm, completing the first step.
'If I'm not afraid of piercing my palm, then my limbs and muscles won't be afraid. But … what if it's my organs?'
Lin Zhen wanted to try the second step, which was to let the Metal Qi penetrate his heart!
The heart was different from the palm. Some ruthless people would even dare to stab their palms or thighs with a knife in a fierce battle. However, very few people would dare to stab their own hearts with a knife.
That wasn't a fierce battle, but suicide.
Lin Zhen's second step was to stab his own heart.
With his near-immortal body, he wouldn't die even if his heart was turned to ashes. However, the fear buried deep in his bones couldn't be completely erased.
Lin Zhen raised his hand, grabbed the Metal Qi, and stabbed it into his heart!
The Metal Qi penetrated his body.
