The black light streaked across the sky like a meteor, covering hundreds of thousands of meters in the blink of an eye. It was so fast that it only took a few breaths to cover hundreds of thousands of meters before falling.
As soon as he landed, the black light dissipated, revealing Fei Mingyu's figure. His pale face was filled with ruthlessness, and the depths of his eyes contained an extremely dense killing intent. It was a monstrous killing intent directed at Chen Zong.
At this moment, there was no trace of madness on Fei Mingyu's face, only killing intent and hatred.
His robe was tattered and many wounds could be seen on his body. Two of the most serious wounds were his shoulder and the other was a sword wound on his back. The wounds were so deep that even his bones could be seen, but they had already stopped bleeding.
Hatred and killing intent lingered in his heart, accumulating like a volcano that was about to erupt.
He had thought that he would be the strongest cultivator after entering the Earthvein Tide, and that he would be invincible. Little did he think that he would be the one to be wounded in the end. If he hadn't used his trump card in time to escape, he would have most likely died.
Humiliation!
Anger!
Fei Mingyu wasn't an ordinary person after all. He wasn't overwhelmed by anger and killing intent. His scarlet eyes gradually recovered, but the killing intent didn't disappear. It was buried in his heart and was constantly brewing. Once it erupted, it would be even stronger than before.
After calming down, Fei Mingyu's injuries also rapidly healed. He swept his sharp eyes around and saw everything clearly. Immediately, he was startled as he seemed to hear an intermittent sound in the distance.
"This sound …" Fei Mingyu couldn't help but reveal a touch of joy. His figure flashed and flew towards the source of the sound at his fastest speed. It didn't take long for him to see the source of the spring that was constantly emitting white mist.
… …
Chen Zong jumped into the Earthvein Spring and sat down cross-legged. This time, Chen Zong didn't immerse himself wholeheartedly like the last time because he would lose his keen perception of the outside world and wouldn't be able to sense anyone approaching him.
It was because of this that he was attacked last time. Fortunately, the strength of the Bloodsword Family was limited. If it had been the Skyscraper Society that attacked him, he would've been in danger. Even if he didn't die, he would've been seriously injured.
Therefore, this time, even if the efficiency of his comprehension was lower, he still had to pay attention to the outside world to ensure his own safety.
Opportunities were important, but one's life was even more important. If one lost an opportunity, as long as one was alive, there would be another opportunity. If one lost one's life, even a great opportunity would be useless.
Now, be it in terms of Qi Refinement cultivation or Body Tempering cultivation, Chen Zong had reached the true limits of the Extreme Mortal Realm. He could not improve any further. This level of improvement was equivalent to that of a King-Ranked martial artist who had been stuck in the King-Ranked Martial Artist realm for many years.
However, because Chen Zong practiced a Peerless Level Cultivation Method, the power and potential of the Spiritual Power he cultivated were incomparable to other cultivation methods, unless someone also practiced a Peerless Level Cultivation Method.
Talent determined one's height, potential determined one's path, and temperament determined one's achievements. Chen Zong was not lacking in either.
Although he wasn't fully focused, Chen Zong still quickly entered a state of comprehension. Traces of pure Earth Vein Power flowed from every part of his body, enveloping every single particle and nourishing them.
His body gradually merged with the earth, and his heartbeat gradually synchronized with the pulse of the earth, becoming indistinguishable. Under these circumstances, Chen Zong's change was particularly obvious. It was as if he had wholeheartedly merged with the earth, but he still retained a sense of the outside world.
It was as if his body had merged with the earth and had become a part of it. With himself as the center, everything within a ten-thousand-meter radius turned from blurry to clear, appearing in his senses.
This feeling was very strange. It was as if he was one entity, but it was also as if he had been split into countless individuals, spreading out in this ten-thousand-meter radius. He could sense everything in this area very clearly.
When the wind blew, the tracks and sounds of sand and stones rolling became very clear.
Bang … Bang … Bang …
This was the sound of his heart beating, and also the sound of the earth's pulse.
Sound after sound, slow and heavy, simple and ancient, containing the ancientness and vicissitudes of time. This was the accumulation of a long time, an incomparably ancient low chant, as if it came from the ancient times.
The earth was the vessel of life. It had gone through the ages, endlessly, and had given birth to countless lives. Who knew how many lives had died and decayed, returning to the earth.
The earth was vigorous, heavy, and steady …
Strands of spiritual light emerged, gathering and accumulating in Chen Zong's sea of consciousness. This allowed Chen Zong's understanding of the power of the earth veins to grow deeper and deeper. This also belonged to the understanding of the earth spirit realm.
The mysteries of the Earth Spirit Realm were thus slowly unveiled in front of Chen Zong.
The spiritual energy began to circulate naturally, flowing through every part of Chen Zong's body. It was like an endless tide, constantly circulating. As it circulated, traces of the power of the earth veins were gradually integrated into it, being carried along by the spiritual energy. During the process of circulation, the power of the earth veins gradually merged with the spiritual energy. You are me, and I am you, there is no distinction between you and me.
A vigorous and heavy feeling also slowly appeared in Chen Zong's spiritual energy.
His spiritual energy was transforming. From the spiritual energy of an Extreme Mortal Realm practitioner, it was slowly transforming into the spiritual energy of an Earth Vein, which could only be controlled by an Earth Spirit Realm practitioner. Of course, there were still some differences between the spiritual energy of a Pseudo Earth Spirit Realm practitioner and an Earth Spirit Realm practitioner.
He was completely immersed in his comprehension, but a part of his consciousness could clearly sense all movements within the ten-thousand-meter radius. Gradually, the range of his perception also began to expand.
Eleven thousand meters …
Twelve thousand meters …
Thirteen thousand meters …
It didn't stop expanding until it was 15,000 meters away.
If something entered the range of fifteen thousand meters, it would be sensed by Chen Zong. Chen Zong could also clearly sense whether it was a living thing or a dead thing, whether it was a human or a beast, and react in time.
Chen Zong could even sense the strength of the breath. Imperceptibly, it greatly increased his safety. This was incomparable to the first time he entered the Earth Vein Spring.
The first time he entered, the greatest effect of the Earth Vein Spring was to improve his physique and synchronize it with his Qi Cultivation. In addition, he wasn't mentally prepared.
Now, the second time was different. Naturally, there would be a different effect.
As the Earth Vein Power continued to enter his body, the water of the Earth Vein Spring gradually became diluted. At first, it was in a liquid state, but now it slowly turned into a gaseous state. Most of the spiritual energy in Chen Zong's body had also transformed.
The transformed spiritual energy was similar to the previous spiritual energy, but also different. It exuded a kind of vigor and a kind of heaviness.
Time passed slowly. In this state, Chen Zong didn't know how much time had passed. Suddenly, there was a tremor, and the feeling of being integrated with the earth disappeared in an instant. It was very uncomfortable, as if he had suddenly woken up from a beautiful dream. However, Chen Zong had a strong ability to adapt, so he quickly got used to it.
At this moment, the Earth Vein Spring had disappeared and was replaced by a flat ground. Chen Zong jumped up and landed lightly on the ground. When his feet touched the ground, a wonderful feeling arose spontaneously. It was as if … his feet had some kind of connection with the earth.
This connection wasn't as simple as standing on the ground. It was a deeper connection. It seemed that there was a wonderful commonality between the two.
Chen Zong thought for a moment and knew what this commonality was. It was the spiritual energy that was constantly surging in his body. It was the spiritual energy that had undergone a transformation.
Earth Vein Spirit Energy!
Sensing it carefully, Chen Zong felt that the Earth Vein Spirit Energy was different from the previous spiritual energy. It had an indescribable vigor and heaviness, causing the spiritual energy's strength to increase significantly. This was also why Pseudo Earth Spirit Realm martial artists were much stronger than most Extreme Ninth Stage Mortal Realm martial artists. They were comparable to King-Ranked martial artists.
If one's body also transformed into the Earth Vein Body, one's strength would increase again. If a King-Ranked martial artist could master the Earth Vein Spirit Energy and the Earth Vein Body, and combine the two Lingwu, their strength would be even more frightening.
After the spiritual energy merged with the Earth Vein Power and transformed into the Earth Vein Spirit Energy, not only would its strength increase, but it would also have a slight connection with the earth. This connection caused Chen Zong to have that wonderful feeling when he stood on the ground.
Immediately, using his finger as a sword, the Earth Vein Spirit Energy surged and transformed into a heavy sword light that sliced through the air. It sliced through the hard ground, and the rocks in the distance were all sliced apart as if they were as fragile as tofu.
In an instant, Chen Zong retracted his finger. However, that finger light traveled a few hundred meters and left a straight sword mark on the ground. It was unstoppable as everything was sliced apart.
"If it was in the past, I could have done this as well. However, I feel even more relaxed now." Chen Zong muttered to himself. His eyes narrowed as he saw clearly where the rocks were sliced apart. Those weren't just marks left behind by a sharp blade; they were also marks left behind by a frightening and domineering strength.
"Double!" Chen Zong raised his eyebrows slightly as a smile appeared on his face. "After the spiritual energy metamorphosis, just by using it alone, my strength can double."
Double didn't sound like much, but one must know that Chen Zong's foundation was so strong that it was difficult for most practitioners of the same level to reach it. A double increase was undoubtedly terrifying.
Immediately, Chen Zong circulated his Earth Vein Spirit Energy, Qi Force, and Spiritual Consciousness to transform into the Void Sword Force. Once again, he slashed out with his finger. It was effortless and almost effortless, leaving a thousand-meter long sword mark on the ground. It was even more effortless and powerful than before.
"Fifty percent!" Chen Zong muttered to himself.
The metamorphosis of his spiritual energy had also significantly increased the power of the Void Sword Force. Its overall power had increased by fifty percent.
Fifty percent!
That was equivalent to using a good secret method.
"If I had this strength before, that person from the Skyscraper Society wouldn't have been my opponent at all." Chen Zong muttered to himself. "If I can cultivate the Earth Vein Body, the power of the Void Sword Force will increase again. By then, my strength will be even more tyrannical. At that time, the Lingwu Union will be qualified to be called invincible under the Earth Spirit Realm."
