Chen Zong's face was calm. Deep in his eyes, there was a sharp light as sharp as the tip of a sword. He stared at Ghost Blade's back. Through the protective treasure's power, Ghost Blade felt like there was a blade on his back. He felt extremely uncomfortable, as if there was an invisible sword pressing against his back.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Three more sword lights pierced through the air. When they passed through the air, the air rippled like water, like the undercurrents of the deep sea.
The three sword lights all slashed at Ghost Blade's protective power, but they still could not break it. Instead, they all shattered. Chen Zong did not stop there. He attacked again.
His tyrannical power was like the water of a great river, rushing endlessly into the Will Heavenly Sword. The Will Heavenly Sword glowed with a golden light, turning into streaks of sword Qi. Swoosh! Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Chen Zong also kept approaching his opponent. When he was close enough, Chen Zong used Heaven's Scar.
Heaven's Scar was very powerful. Every time it was used, it would consume a lot of power and burden the user. However, as Chen Zong's cultivation improved, his body became stronger, and he perfected Heaven's Scar, this move could no longer burden Chen Zong. Even if he used it more than ten times in a row, it would not be a problem.
"Stop now, or the Skyscraper Association will not let you go," Ghost Blade threatened. Chen Zong ignored him and continued to attack.
There was a loud crack, but it was like a clap of thunder exploding in his ears. Gui Dao's face turned deathly pale, and he was extremely shocked.
This sound was the sound of his protective treasure's power being broken. Under Chen Zong's thousands of attacks, the protective treasure's power was finally exhausted.
"I'll fight you to the death." Ghost Blade no longer tried to escape. His pale face was filled with ferocity and ruthlessness. He instantly turned around and attacked Chen Zong.
Determined to fight to the death, Ghost Saber's every slash was more powerful than before. Ghostly Qi and ghostly shadows filled the air as he crazily slashed at Chen Zong, trying to extinguish Chen Zong's exuberant vitality.
Chen Zong's expression was cold and solemn. He swung his sword to meet the attack. Following the flaw in Ghost Blade's bladesmanship, he attacked and injured Ghost Blade.
However, the desperate Gui Dao ignored the injuries on his body and attacked wildly.
"Even if I die, I will drag someone down with me." With the determination to die, Gui Dao attacked crazily. More and more wounds appeared on his body. Gui Dao's eyes flashed with a trace of desperation. The tyrannical earth vein spirit energy in his body immediately collapsed inwards.
Chen Zong felt a chill in his heart, and a strong sense of danger suddenly emerged from his heart. His face was cold, and his eyes were sharp like sword light. He swung his sword, chasing after Ghost Blade's Dantian Qi Sea.
It pierced through like a hot knife through butter. In an instant, Ghost Blade's Dantian Qi Sea was punctured like a balloon. The power that was constantly gathering also quickly leaked out.
Despair filled his ferocious face. Originally, Ghost Blade had planned to self-explode and drag Chen Zong down with him even if he died. However, he did not expect that Chen Zong would see through his plan and break his Dantian Qi Sea, so the self-explosion failed.
Another sword light flashed. This time, the sword cut off Ghost Blade's head.
With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he took away Ghost Blade's mustard seed bag and the ghastly broadsword. That was a middle-grade spiritual weapon, so it was also quite valuable.
After landing, Chen Zong suddenly felt a familiar fluctuation coming from not far away. He was immediately delighted.
This fluctuation was clearly the fluctuation of the Earth Vein Spring, and it was the Earth Vein Spring that had just appeared.
"Good luck," Chen Zong muttered to himself. He quickly flew toward the Earth Vein Spring that had just appeared.
This Earth Vein Spring was larger than the previous three, almost twice as large. In other words, this Earth Vein Spring was equivalent to two of the previous Earth Vein Springs.
"According to my estimation, this Earth Vein Spring should be enough for me to make a breakthrough," Chen Zong said to himself.
However, an estimation was just an estimation. Whether he could really make a breakthrough was still unknown.
Stepping into the Earth Vein Spring, Chen Zong sat cross-legged at the mouth of the Earth Vein Spring. Keeping a trace of his mind to pay attention to the outside world, Chen Zong began to absorb the Earth Vein Power in this Earth Vein Spring.
Absorb, absorb, absorb. As he continued to absorb, the Earth Vein Spiritual Power accumulated in his body became more and more vigorous. The vigorous Earth Vein Spiritual Power quickly flowed in the 108 apertures, like the water of a great river, endlessly surging, making a thunderous sound.
The Earth Vein's spiritual energy flowed faster and faster until it reached the limit. It felt like it was going to rush out of his body. Chen Zong tried his best to control it so that the Earth Vein's spiritual energy could maintain this shocking speed. Cracks began to appear on his acupuncture points under the impact of the Earth Vein's spiritual energy.
Apertures were extremely important to Extreme Mortal realm practitioners. Cracks appearing in apertures meant that they were damaged. Damaged apertures meant that they could no longer store energy, causing the Extreme Mortal realm practitioner's spirit power to lose its path of circulation. At that time, even if one had unparalleled spirit power, they wouldn't be able to freely use it, and their training would be useless.
In addition, apertures represented the body's potential. Opening an aperture meant that some of the body's potential would be stimulated. One would be able to see further, hear more clearly, possess greater strength, and speed.
If an aperture was damaged, these abilities would also disappear.
However, there was one situation where an aperture being damaged wouldn't affect one's body, and that was breaking through to the earth spirit realm.
Breaking through to the earth spirit realm required the formation of the Earth Vein Whirlpool. Before the formation of the Earth Vein Whirlpool, the apertures in the body would be destroyed first, causing the Earth Vein Spiritual Power to break free from the restraints of the apertures. At the same time, the power activated by the apertures would be preserved and integrated into the Earth Vein Whirlpool.
Chen Zong had opened a total of 108 apertures. In order to destroy these apertures, he would need even more Earth Vein Spiritual Power.
After one great cycle after another, after a total of 108 great cycles, the apertures started to shatter one by one. Chen Zong deeply experienced the pain of an aperture shattering.
With all 108 apertures shattered, the pain was many times more intense, causing Chen Zong's body to tremble uncontrollably, but he had to endure it.
After the apertures were shattered, a vast amount of Earth Vein Spiritual Power immediately spread out and started to rotate at an astonishing speed. Under Chen Zong's conscious control, it started to compress inwards.
Close in, condense!
The blurry outline of a whirlpool began to appear.
This was the outline of the Earth Vein Whirlpool, and the one Chen Zong had formed was of the highest quality, the King Earth Vein Whirlpool.
The King Earth Vein Whirlpool here was even stronger than the one formed by Fei Mingyu. Because Chen Zong had opened all 108 apertures in his body, his potential was even more astounding.
Similarly, the amount of Earth Vein Spirit Power needed to form such a King Earth Vein Whirlpool was even greater.
When the outline of the King Earth Vein Whirlpool gradually appeared, Chen Zong's expression changed slightly. He'd absorbed all of the Earth Vein Spring's power from the outside world.
"This …" Chen Zong couldn't help but smile wryly. This was very different from what he'd guessed. According to the current situation, he'd have to look at the Earth Vein Spring a few more times before he could completely condense the King Earth Vein Whirlpool and truly step into the earth spirit realm.
Chen Zong had no choice but to accept his fate. He didn't force it, nor did he feel depressed about it.
He stood up. Although he hadn't completely condensed the King Earth Vein Whirlpool, he'd successfully formed its outline. This meant that he was one step into the earth spirit realm. His strength had also increased significantly compared to before.
"I should be able to kill that person now." Chen Zong thought to himself as Fei Mingyu's figure flashed through his mind.
He'd used up a Firmament Feather Shield to kill his opponent. Now, he could kill him with his strength alone.
Although the Firmament Feather Shield was precious, it was ultimately used to protect his life. It could protect his life, allow him to kill powerful enemies, and obtain opportunities again and again.
With a thought, a strand of Earth Vein Spirit Power swam out of the King Earth Vein Whirlpool and settled at his fingertip. Chen Zong sensed it carefully and could feel the astounding power contained within.
"Right now, the King Earth Vein Whirlpool has only condensed its outline. It's not stable yet. It's best to avoid a fierce battle if possible." Chen Zong thought to himself.
If the battle was too intense, it might cause the King Veins Vortex, which had not yet fully solidified, to disintegrate.
The best way was to find more Earthspring and absorb more Earthvein Spirit Power to fully condense the King Earth Vein Whirlpool. At that time, the King Earth Vein Whirlpool would stabilize and there wouldn't be any danger of it collapsing.
"But at this point, I should be able to absorb Earthvein Spirit Power from the Earthvein Stone." Chen Zong took out an Earth Vein Stone and attempted to absorb the Earth Vein Energy within it. Sure enough, the Earth Vein Energy within the Earth Vein Stone was immediately drawn in, and strands of Earth Vein Energy seeped out from the Earth Vein Stone and into Chen Zong's palm.
"It can be absorbed, but the efficiency is a bit too slow."
After absorbing the Earthvein Spirit Power from the Earthspring many times, Chen Zong felt that the absorption speed was not satisfying enough. He simply put away the Earthvein Stone and took out the only Earthvein Stone Essence he had.
The Earthvein Stone Essence was the condensation of the essence of the Earthvein Stone. The Earthvein Spirit contained in it was not only ten times more vigorous and pure, but also more active and easier to absorb.
He tried to absorb it, and sure enough, the effect was several times better than absorbing the Earthvein Stone.
"Before I find a new Earthvein Spring, I'll use it to cultivate." Chen Zong thought to himself. He directly placed the Earthvein Stone Essence and the mid-grade spiritual source on his chest. This way, they could directly touch his skin and make it easier for him to absorb. It also freed up his hands and prevented them from affecting his movements.
Strands of pure Spirit Qi and Earthvein Spirit Power continuously flowed into his body and were then absorbed by the slowly rotating Earthvein King Spin. The Earthvein King Spin was like a wheel, and its refining speed was much faster than before. Almost as soon as the Earthvein Spirit Qi and Spirit Qi entered his body, they were absorbed and became a part of the Earthvein King Spin. This caused the Earthvein King Spin to gradually become clearer and more solid at an indiscernible speed.
This speed was much faster than the Earthvein Stone, but still not as fast as the Earthvein Spring. After all, the Earthvein Spirit Power that emerged from the Earthvein Spring was the most active and easiest to absorb.
While feeling the rotation of the Earthvein King Spin, Chen Zong's mouth curved into a smile. He then checked his Pure Yang Blood Qi.
With the improvement of his physique, his body refining cultivation had also improved. He was now at the limit of the Extreme Mortal Realm, the limit of the Pseudo Earthly Spirit Realm, and was breaking through to the Earthly Spirit Realm.
