"I wonder what will happen after the Pure Yang Blood Qi completely turns golden?" Chen Zong muttered to himself with a hint of expectation.
Of course, it was also possible that nothing would happen.
But in any case, the faint golden Pure Yang Blood Qi gave Chen Zong a stronger feeling. It was more than twice as powerful as before, and the benefit it brought was that his body had become stronger, allowing him to resist more powerful attacks.
Putting down his inner expectations, Chen Zong exhaled a breath of Sword Qi, which pierced through a rock hundreds of meters away, leaving a sword hole.
Although the King Spin of the Earth Vein had only formed a vague outline, Chen Zong's perception had improved by another level. He was now able to sense the power of the earth veins from a greater distance away, making it easier for him to find the Earth Vein Spring and Earth Vein Stones.
"Chen Zong, I found this Earth Vein Spring first. Go away," Fang Ziye, one of the members of the Extreme Heaven Association, stared at Chen Zong with a hint of dread in his eyes and said in a deep voice.
"It should be said that you and I found this Earth Vein Spring at the same time." Chen Zong smiled, not showing the slightest modesty. This was an opportunity, and if the other party had found it first, Chen Zong might have modestly given that they were both members of the Extreme Heaven Association. But at the same time, he realized that they were not friends, so there was no reason for him to be modest.
The path of cultivation was a path of adversity to begin with. One had to grasp every opportunity in order to continue moving forward. From a certain point of view, giving up a fortuitous encounter was equivalent to delaying one's own progress, unless that fortuitous encounter was dispensable to one.
The Earth Vein Spring in front of him might not be able to completely condense his Earth Vein King Spin, but it was still an opportunity that could not be missed.
"So, you don't want to give me face?" Fang Ziye's expression became unpleasant, and his voice became cold.
"Since we are both members of the Extreme Heaven Association, you can leave," Chen Zong said without any trace of politeness.
"I gave you face, but you didn't take it. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite." Fang Ziye was furious. His eyes were like cold lightning as he glared at Chen Zong. His aura was as sharp as a blade, carrying a shocking chill.
In the next moment, Fang Ziye's expression abruptly changed, and he was extremely shocked. He only felt an extremely terrifying and tyrannical aura that was like an abyss surging out from Chen Zong's body and bombarding his body.
Under the impact of this extremely terrifying aura, Fang Ziye felt as if he had become duckweed in the water, or a small boat in a stormy sea that could be destroyed at any time.
Retreat, retreat, retreat!
In the blink of an eye, Fang Ziye had retreated several thousand meters away, fleeing in panic.
After watching Fang Ziye disappear into the distance, Chen Zong withdrew his gaze and leapt into the Earth Spring to begin absorbing.
Chen Zong didn't intend to make things difficult for Fang Ziye because they were both members of the Polar Sky Association. If Fang Ziye didn't know what was good for him and attacked, the consequences wouldn't be so simple.
Fortunately, Fang Ziye realized that he wasn't Chen Zong's opponent and didn't take the risk. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have survived.
Chen Zong wanted to contribute to the Polar Sky Association, but that didn't mean that he couldn't kill its members. Of course, he wouldn't kill them for no reason, nor would he take the initiative to do so.
The Earth Vein King Spiral spun rapidly, and the Earth Vein Energy contained in the Earth Spring was rapidly absorbed by Chen Zong. Before long, the Earth Vein King Spiral had been emptied.
Chen Zong looked inside himself and found that the Earth Vein King Spiral had become more solid and clear, but there was still a big gap before it could fully condense.
Sure enough, with a solid foundation, it was difficult to make a breakthrough. Smiling inwardly, Chen Zong once again took action.
Earth Vein King Spiral!
He needed more Earth Vein King Spiral to fully condense. At that time, it would be completely different.
…
* Ji Ji … *
A sharp and strange sound pierced through one's mind like a demon's voice. Layers of sound waves surged like ripples in water. Wherever the sound passed, whether it was stone, soil, or grass, everything was turned into powder.
This attack caused Chen Zong's expression to turn serious, but he didn't dodge. Behind him was a Earth Vein King Spiral that was at least five to six times larger than the previous ones.
Chen Zong was overjoyed to find this Earth Vein King Spiral. Such a large Earth Vein King Spiral was the second largest Earth Vein King Spiral he had seen since entering this place. The Earth Vein Energy contained within was extremely rich and pure. If he could absorb it, perhaps the Earth Vein King Spiral in his body would fully condense and he would truly step into the earth spirit realm.
Chen Zong couldn't help but feel a bit excited at the thought of truly stepping into the earth spirit realm. However, at the same time that he discovered the Earth Vein King Spiral, he also discovered a strange beast that was preparing to enter the Earth Vein King Spiral.
Its body was half a meter long, and its entire body was golden. It looked like a beetle, and its mouth was incomparably sharp. It could release shockingly powerful sound waves.
Chen Zong could only take it head-on. Otherwise, the Earth Vein King Spiral behind him would be affected and destroyed.
These strange beasts didn't have much intelligence, so they didn't have any scruples.
The power of the sound waves caused Chen Zong's expression to turn serious. He gripped his sword with both hands and swung it out with a slight tremble. The frightening edge of the sword carried with it an astounding power, and it instantly split the sound waves into two.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Sword light slashed out continuously, completely shattering the sound waves.
Then, an incomparably brilliant sword light tore through the air and slashed towards the strange beast.
The beetle beast was extremely fast. After dodging Chen Zong's sword, it turned into a streak of golden light. Its extremely sharp mouth pierced through the air and viciously stabbed towards Chen Zong. Chen Zong's expression changed, and he felt as if his body had been pierced through.
He raised his sword to meet the attack. An extremely sharp sound exploded, and a frightening force passed through the sword. Chen Zong's body retreated, and like a bamboo in the wind, he instantly bounced back and slashed out with his sword again. This time, the sword contained two layers of strength.
There was no way to dodge. The Will Heavenly Sword slashed down on the golden beetle. Chen Zong felt a shocking toughness. It was like a normal sword slashing down on steel. There was a rebounding force.
"So hard!" Chen Zong couldn't help but be shocked. The golden beetle's carapace was shockingly hard. Even the sharpness of the Heavenly Will Sword, which was comparable to a mid-tier spiritual sword, couldn't damage it at all.
While he was shocked, Chen Zong's sword didn't stop for a moment. With the help of the rebound force, the combination of the Bamboo in the Wind technique and the two layers of strength, he instantly slashed three times at the same spot on the golden beetle's body. However, he still couldn't cut through it.
The golden beetle reacted in an instant. Once again, it turned into a golden stream of light. After dodging Chen Zong's sword, it rushed towards him again.
Holding the sword hilt with both hands, the illusory sword strength rushed forward. The sword vibrated at an astonishing speed. The sword light completely condensed on the sword, and the sword slashed out.
Heaven's Scar!
This sword could even tear the sky apart. When the sword slashed at the golden beetle's body, Chen Zong felt a strong resistance. It was an astonishing resistance that blocked the Heaven's Will Sword.
Cut!
After the first slash, it still couldn't cut through the carapace. It only left a faint sword mark. This defensive power shocked Chen Zong even more.
Heaven's Scar!
The second sword slashed out, still slashing at the sword scar, causing it to deepen.
The golden beetle didn't fear death. After dodging the first slash, it rushed forward again. Chen Zong's figure flashed as he slashed out again, slashing at the sword mark again.
Slash after slash, the golden beetle's carapace still hadn't been cut through after ten slashes. This was because Chen Zong discovered that every time he slashed at the same sword mark, the mark would quickly disappear and heal itself.
Chen Zong estimated that he'd only have a chance of breaking through a tough and naturally healing carapace when he truly stepped into the earth spirit realm and his strength increased again. It still wasn't enough now.
Chen Zong couldn't help but have a grave expression.
This golden beetle's strength was indeed very strong, but it wasn't strong enough to make him feel threatened. After all, his strength had greatly increased compared to before. The only thing that troubled him was the unbelievably tough carapace. If he couldn't break through the carapace, then he wouldn't be able to kill the golden beetle. If he couldn't kill it, then he wouldn't be able to absorb the power of the earth vein in peace.
Avoiding the golden beetle's mandibles, Chen Zong's mind raced as hundreds of thoughts flashed through his mind.
How could he kill this golden beetle?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
"The golden beetle's carapace is unbelievably tough and has astonishing defensive capabilities, but that's not necessarily the case on the inside." The thought flashed through his mind.
After all, the insides of the body were made up of internal organs and blood. They couldn't possibly be as tough as the carapace.
"Since I can't break through the carapace, then I'll bypass the carapace and attack the insides of the body." The thought became clearer.
Chen Zong swung his sword again and slashed at the golden beetle's carapace. The application of strength contained in this slash was completely different from before. He no longer sought to break through the carapace, but instead sought to break through the carapace into the golden beetle's body and destroy the insides of its body.
It was easy to think, but difficult to do. The strength of this slash immediately dissipated when it hit the golden beetle's hard carapace.
The carapace was extremely tough and dense. It was very difficult to channel strength through the carapace into the body.
Chen Zong wasn't discouraged and tried again and again. He'd just thought of this technique and had never tried it before, so it was normal for him to fail at the beginning.
If he could master it, it would be equivalent to mastering another skill.
The golden beetle became Chen Zong's whetstone. Chen Zong was also relieved. He was no longer in a hurry to kill the golden beetle. Instead, he kept trying to find the best way to channel strength through the hard carapace into the body and destroy the insides of its body.
Although the golden beetle was small in size, it was extremely heavy and powerful. It didn't even take half a step back when Chen Zong's sword slashed at its carapace. However, this made it easier for Chen Zong to attack.
Slash, slash, slash!
After trying again and again, Chen Zong gradually grasped the knack of it. However, he always felt that something was missing. An opportunity, a very crucial opportunity.
More haste, less speed. Chen Zong didn't think too much about it. Instead, he kept attacking and trying. The poor golden beetle didn't have much intelligence and didn't know its own situation. It just kept attacking Chen Zong. However, Chen Zong had already figured out its attacking methods.
