Chapter 931: Chapter 822: A Phoenix with Fallen Feathers is Worse than a Chicken? (Make-up 13)

In the Forbidden Land, there is a beautifully scenic small valley, almost completely enclosed, with only a winding path leading outside the valley, which is also blocked.

The valley is full of lush grass and fluttering butterflies, exuding an aura of peace and harmony, with various strange flowers and herbs blooming in a riot of colors.

In this valley, there is a space concealed by a Formation, which on the surface appears to be merely an area overgrown with wild grass.

However—

In this small area covered by the Formation, there is a cave, whose entrance has been polished exceedingly smooth over the years by an unknown mutant beast.

The cave meanders with numerous twists and turns, akin to a labyrinth, making it easy for ordinary people to get lost within.

Not far from the cave entrance in a spacious area, a girl clothed in white glistening like snow sits cross-legged on the ground, her body surrounded by dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

This girl is Su Liuli. Ever since slaying the unknown unicorn, she and Ye Fan have secluded themselves in this cave to break through to the Mid-stage War God realm.

Day after day, Su Liuli wholly immersed herself in Cultivation, continually condensing and compressing her inner Gang Qi, until she refined the Early-Stage War God realm to its utmost, deciding to formally attempt a breakthrough to the Mid-stage War God realm.

Qi Control Flight is the hallmark of the Mid-stage War God realm and, to some extent, highlights the difference between the Mid-stage and Early-Stage War God realms.

Once a cultivator steps into the Mid-stage War God realm, not only does the quality of the Gang Qi in their body significantly improve, increasing in power, but their body and soul become strengthened through Cultivation. More importantly, their use of Gang Qi becomes more profound.

Every time a cultivator enters the War God Realm, they must prepare.

On one hand, it’s crucial to prepare enough Essence Stones to ensure sufficient Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi during the breakthrough process.

On the other hand, they need to find a safe place, preferably with someone as a protector—during the breakthrough, a cultivator needs to focus all their energy. Once disturbed, the consequences can be unimaginable; at best, Gang Qi turmoil leading to a failed breakthrough, at worst, cultivation deviation resulting in the loss of all Cultivation, with instances of bodies being torn apart by overflowing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

With Ye Fan by her side, Su Liuli had no concerns about safety. She brought out the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Liquid, Spiritual Peach, Plant Essence, and numerous Beast Cores that Ye Fan had given her before the breakthrough.

Everything was ready.

Su Liuli began the breakthrough!

Breaking through from the Early-Stage War God realm to the Mid-stage War God realm primarily involves two aspects.

First, to compress and condense Gang Qi within oneself to the utmost.

Second, to expand the Qi Vortex by leveraging Martial Arts Insight and the ability to manipulate Gang Qi.

Expanding the Qi Vortex, while seemingly simple, is actually not easy. It requires the cultivator to constantly integrate Gang Qi into the Qi Vortex, yet not alter its operation and arrangement pattern.

Once altered, it would result in a failed breakthrough!

Worse still, if the Qi Vortex is disrupted, it can lead to its destruction. In that case, all Cultivation would be lost, resulting in utter ruin!

"Expand the Qi Vortex!"

Su Liuli brought her spiritual energy to its optimal state, quickly entering meditation, frantically absorbing energy from the Beast Cores, converting it into Gang Qi, then compressing and condensing it.

Only when the newly transformed Gang Qi’s degree of condensation was almost indistinguishable from that within the Qi Vortex would she attempt to merge it into the Qi Vortex.

Once, twice, three times...

Su Liuli attempted five times in succession, failing each time!

But Su Liuli was not discouraged in the least.

Because she understood very well that if the Mid-stage War God realm were so easily broken through, it would not be of value.

It should be known that, nowadays, many cultivators are at the Early-Stage War God realm, but few are at the Mid-stage War God level, and the reason lies here—the transition from Early-Stage to Mid-stage is almost a watershed; it’s not just effort that can achieve the breakthrough; opportunity and comprehension are also needed.

As for comprehension, Su Liuli is not inferior to anyone, comparable even to Ye Fan; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been chosen as a disciple by Bodhi Wu Yin.

Half a day later, after seventeen attempts, Su Liuli exhausted all the Essence Stones, Beast Cores, and the Spiritual Peach before her, leaving only two bottles of Heaven and Earth Primordial Liquid.

Although she failed, Su Liuli completely grasped the operation and arrangement pattern of the Qi Vortex.

"I can’t fail again!"

On the eighteenth attempt, Su Liuli calmed her consciousness and made another breakthrough attempt.

This time, after absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Liquid to transform into Gang Qi, Su Liuli slowed down the process of condensing and compressing the Gang Qi.

Compressing Gang Qi is extremely risky, for if compressed too harshly, it can easily lead to Gang Qi turmoil; worse still, Gang Qi explosion, where any cultivator would be blown to pieces by their own Gang Qi, not a single complete fragment of flesh left.

The compression process was extremely slow; Su Liuli remained calm and composed, compressing gradually.

Upon compression, Su Liuli promptly integrated the newly transformed Gang Qi into the Qi Vortex!

Success!

She succeeded in expanding the Qi Vortex for the first time, though she had not yet broken through to the Mid-stage War God realm—when the Qi Vortex is expanded to a certain extent, only then does the breakthrough occur!

For this, Su Liuli was not anxious; after a brief moment of joy, she quickly steadied her consciousness and continued the breakthrough.

As time passed little by little, after a full six hours, Su Liuli suddenly opened her eyes, and from her eyes shot out two cold rays, like two flashes of lightning in the dark cave.

A powerful aura emanated from her, still holy, yet now with an added sharp edge, like a peerless treasure sword hidden in its scabbard, ready to become a lethal weapon once unsheathed!

"Succeeded?"

Since Su Liuli began the breakthrough, Ye Fan had stopped Cultivation, and at this moment sensed her change, asking aloud.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Ye Fan’s words, Su Liuli nodded, and the sharp edge feeling instantly disappeared.

"Liuli, congratulations!" Ye Fan said with a smile.

Su Liuli’s breakthrough success resulted in a surge in strength, and from now on, when encountering powerful mutant beasts, he no longer had to worry about her safety, allowing them to fight freely.

"You seem to have changed somewhat as well—you haven’t yet broken through to the Mid-stage War God realm, yet you give me a feeling of being unfathomable, which is truly strange."

Su Liuli stared at Ye Fan for a moment, suddenly remarked.

Her realm has now surpassed Ye Fan’s, logically she shouldn’t have this feeling, but she distinctly sensed Ye Fan’s unfathomable depth!

This sense of discord immediately made her realize that Ye Fan must have gained something during his recent cultivation, though she was unsure of what exactly he had achieved.

"Yes, although I haven’t had a breakthrough, I’ve made my Gang Qi and mental energy more condensed. Among these, the Magic Cultivation will soon break through, and my Martial Arts Cultivation has improved significantly. In addition, I’ve also comprehended the second form of ’Domineering Fist’ called ’Azure Sky Overlord Blood’!" Ye Fan nodded with a smile.

Knowing that he couldn’t break through in a short time, Ye Fan had given up on the idea of breaking through before going into retreat. Instead, he focused on condensing and compressing his Gang Qi and mental energy to prepare for future breakthroughs, while comprehending the second move of ’Domineering Fist’ called ’Azure Sky Overlord Blood’.

Diligence pays off!

Before Su Liuli went into retreat, he had already comprehended ’Azure Sky Overlord Blood’!

As the second move of ’Domineering Fist’, the biggest difference between ’Azure Sky Overlord Blood’ and ’Blood Gang’ is that it not only showcases one’s power but also harnesses the Heaven and Earth Power!

This... is the source of the name Azure Sky!

The ’Four Directions Sword Formation’ and ’Flowing Light’ from the ’Flying Sword Skill’ both utilize Heaven and Earth Power, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and converting it into Sword Qi.

Ye Fan had comprehended these before.

In addition, Xue Chou’s cultivation of the ’Blood Demon Sky Technique’ could convert Blood Qi and Gang Qi between each other, greatly inspiring Ye Fan.

Under such circumstances, his comprehension of ’Azure Sky Overlord Blood’ was extremely easy, almost like a natural progression.

"Really? Then show me, let me see how powerful the second move of Domineering Fist is."

Upon hearing that Ye Fan had comprehended the second form of ’Domineering Fist’ called ’Azure Sky Overlord Blood’, Su Liuli felt as if her heart was being scratched by a cat’s paw, itching to witness the power of ’Azure Sky Overlord Blood’.

"Alright, let’s go outside. Although I have comprehended it, I have not yet demonstrated it, and I also want to see how powerful ’Azure Sky Overlord Blood’ can be."

As he spoke, Ye Fan stood up and led Su Liuli out of the cave, then dismantled the Mysterious Formation.

After doing all this, Ye Fan did not immediately demonstrate ’Azure Sky Overlord Blood’, but went to the edge of the pool with Su Liuli to wash for a while.

After washing, Ye Fan took a deep breath, focused his mind, and then violently circulated his inner Gang Qi and Blood Qi, hurling a punch toward the waterfall opposite the pool!

Hoo!

With a punch, Gang Qi and Blood Qi perfectly fused, like a surging river, gushing out from Ye Fan’s right fist, transforming into a dazzling Punch Ray.

At the same time, the Primordial Qi in the surrounding Heaven and Earth instantly went into chaos, seemingly resonating with the Punch Ray, crazily pouring into it, then howling forward toward the waterfall!

Boom—

With a loud explosion, the waterfall was directly cut off, evaporated, and the mountainside behind the water surface was smashed into a giant Deep Pit, with cracks extending from the pit as the center toward all directions, the sound of ’crack’ echoing continuously.

Boom!

The next moment, the mountainside directly collapsed, mixed rocks and water gushed down into the pool, splashing water like a mudslide eruption!

"Uh..." _{free we\bnove(l).com}

The powerful Fist force caused the waterfall’s water to reverse upward a full ten feet high, not falling until the Primordial Qi Punch disappeared.

Seeing this, Su Liuli was dumbfounded!

Because the power of Ye Fan’s punch was simply too great, even if she had broken through to the Mid-stage War God Realm and used the Killing Move ’Bodhi Tree’, it definitely couldn’t be this powerful!

"Alright, we can leave here now."

Ye Fan was also quite shocked by the power of ’Azure Sky Overlord Blood’, then decided to leave with Su Liuli.

In his view, with their current strength, unless encountering a High-level War God level Mutant Beast, there was virtually no danger!

...

Just as Ye Fan left the valley with Su Liuli, Andre, along with two clan members, finally found Chu Xuanji and Chu Ji on a mountain.

They were entangled on the mountain by a Mid-stage War God level mutant beast, and after a tough battle, finally killed this mutant beast, but were greatly exhausted, immediately meditating on the spot to recover the consumed Gang Qi.

At this time, Andre, with two clan members, found them!

Swish!

Swish!

Detecting the approaching aura of Andre and the other two, Chu Xuanji and Chu Ji immediately ended their Meditation Cultivation, opened their eyes, stood up, and looked in the direction of the three’s arrival.

"What a coincidence, isn’t this the Evil Emperor of Huaxia? Why are you all covered in blood, looking very pathetic?"

Andre, along with his two clan members, walked arrogantly toward Chu Xuanji and Chu Ji, a mocking smile on his face.

If it were earlier, without Chu Xuanji’s cultivation greatly reduced, even if given a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare provoke Chu Xuanji!

But...

Things have changed!

Chu Xuanji of today has fallen off the altar, like a Phoenix with broken feathers, not even as good as a chicken, not to mention he is a growing Phoenix?!

Andre’s words echoed in his ears, feeling Andre’s unabashed aura, Chu Xuanji raised his eyebrows, remaining silent.

"Andre, what do you want?"

Chu Ji shouted coldly, filled with anger, as she could see that Andre was not coming with good intentions.

"What do I want? If I use your Huaxia language, of course, it means to deal with you master and disciple!"

Andre said, his gaze lingering on Chu Ji’s full curves, smiling sinisterly, "Hmm, the Huaxia language is vast and profound, the meaning of the two ’deal’ words can be different."
