Chapter 472: Chapter 148: Awakening Vein Realm Fourth Layer! Five-star Elixir!
Leaving Qishan City.
Luo Cheng sped northward without pause.
This time, his goal was to fully break through to the Fourth Layer of the Awakening Vein Realm. Cultivating in Qishan City had too many inconveniences, so he sought a secluded location far from human presence to enter closed-door cultivation.
After an hour, Luo Cheng arrived at the outer region of the Black Cloud Mountain Range and found a valley nestled against a mountain and near water.
The valley was gourd-shaped, filled with jagged rocks. A few low-level Demon Beasts were drinking by the stream, but upon seeing Luo Cheng, their eyes immediately filled with ferocity, baring their fangs and claws.
Luo Cheng smiled faintly and unleashed the aura of a strong Awakening Vein Realm cultivator, suppressing his Primordial Breath Technique to let his presence sweep out.
Instantly, the low-level Demon Beasts acted as if they’d seen a ghost, tucking their tails and fleeing the valley in terror.
Setting aside his playful thoughts, Luo Cheng found a large green boulder and sat cross-legged upon it.
"Let’s refine the Martial Soul Essence I’ve devoured these past few days first!"
On his journey, Luo Cheng had devoured the essence of seven Awakening Vein Realm cultivators.
Among them was even a peak Sixth Level Awakening Vein Realm expert!
His realm’s bottleneck was already trembling with anticipation of breaking through.
Luo Cheng estimated that as long as he fully refined the Martial Soul Essence he’d absorbed, he would undoubtedly break through to the Fourth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm.
"Let’s begin!"
Taking a deep breath, Luo Cheng brought out an Awakening God Pill, swallowed it, cleared his mind of distractions, and began cultivating.
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM...
Within his dantian, nine Essence Energy Mansions were operating at full capacity. They resembled vortices of star-clouds, emanating an unparalleled sense of power as they continuously converted the Martial Soul Essence into Luo Cheng’s Primordial Essence Energy.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Luo Cheng sensed that something was off.
The speed at which his Essence Energy Mansions refined the Martial Soul Essence had more than doubled compared to before!
With a slight focus of his senses, Luo Cheng immediately identified the source of the anomaly.
It was that dragon-shaped Essence Energy Mansion!
As the giant dragon formed by Essence Energy coiled and circulated, with every breath it took, the Martial Soul Essence was instantly refined at a tremendous speed!
"So, the Xuanlong Technique not only doubles my combat strength but also accelerates the refining speed of Martial Soul Essence!"
This discovery filled Luo Cheng with delight.
With this, he would be able to devour and refine Martial Soul Beast Souls at an exponentially faster pace in the future.
This would undoubtedly accelerate his cultivation speed!
"Heh, if I can cultivate the Xuanlong Technique to the Ninth Level, my cultivation speed might reach a terrifying realm!"
Feeling reassured, Luo Cheng began focusing all his efforts on breaking through the bottleneck.
The sun rose and then set.
Time flowed like the small stream in the valley, swiftly passing by.
Luo Cheng sat on the green boulder, his body as still as stone, with an invisible current of air spiraling gently around him.
As the Martial Soul Essence continued being refined, this invisible air current grew stronger and spun faster, gradually resembling a funnel that pulled in Heaven and Earth Essence Energy from the surroundings.
During this period, occasional low-level Demon Beasts would wander into the valley.
However, the moment they sensed Luo Cheng’s presence, these low-level Demon Beasts would flee in utter panic, terrified beyond measure.
A day later, no Demon Beast dared set foot near the valley.
Another day passed.
The essence energy funnel surrounding Luo Cheng grew from the size of a door to that of a small house.
The pressure at its center was horrifying, with faint black cracks and streaks of lightning rampaging within!
From a bird’s-eye view, the valley seemed to be swirling with a wind dragon tornado. The fearsome aura purged all Demon Beasts within several miles.
Luo Cheng remained entirely unaware of this.
The twenty-seven Xuan Veins within his body had reached perfection and trembled in unison, as he stood on the brink of a breakthrough.
Whether or not he ascended to the Fourth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm all came down to this moment.
"Break!"
As he sensed the turning point had arrived, Luo Cheng concentrated all his focus and let out a deep mental roar. The speed of the nine Essence Energy Mansions within him suddenly accelerated, surpassing their limits!
The next moment!
POP!
An unusual ripple spread outward from Luo Cheng’s body.
The wind dragon tornado formed from Essence Energy first expanded rapidly, then abruptly contracted, merging back into Luo Cheng’s body.
Instantly, a powerful aura erupted.
Luo Cheng’s entire being became like a hedgehog—shards of Essence Energy shot out, riddling the green boulder beneath him with countless holes while the surrounding air quivered like disturbed water.
"Fourth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm! Success! And it went even smoother than I anticipated!"
Exhaling a deep breath, Luo Cheng opened his eyes, revealing gleaming rays of light akin to lightning crackling in midair!
Originally, Luo Cheng had estimated that breaking through to the Fourth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm would take at least five days.
After all, the Fourth Layer marked the middle stage of the Awakening Vein Realm, its first significant barrier!
Many people remained stuck at this stage for extensive periods.
Yet, his breakthrough had turned out to be far easier than expected, achieving it in just two days.
Not only that, upon advancing to the Fourth Layer, all nine of the Essence Energy Spiritual Lights within him gave birth to a fourth Xuan Vein!
This indicated his foundation was incredibly solid, and he was only a single step away from the middle stage of the Fourth Layer!
"It seems I underestimated the effects of devouring Martial Souls, especially Advanced ones!"
Luo Cheng thought about the peak Sixth Level Awakening Vein Realm expert he had devoured.
The surging essence within that person’s Martial Soul still gave him a lingering sense of awe!
"Let’s test my strength!"
Fixing his gaze on the opposite cliff wall, Luo Cheng summoned his Essence Energy and launched a punch.
BOOM!
A massive fist force shot out, drilling straight through the hillside and leaving a house-sized hole.
"Not bad! Advancing to the middle stage of Awakening Vein Realm has made my Essence Energy far more spiritual and significantly improved its quality!"
"No wonder those disciples of the Fierce Cloud Sect didn’t even consider me a threat. The gap between early and middle stages of Awakening Vein Realm is enormous, incomparable!"
Luo Cheng experienced the overwhelming power of the middle stage.
Advancing in the Awakening Vein Realm wasn’t merely a matter of doubling strength—it multiplied it several times over.
This realization birthed a worry in Luo Cheng’s heart.
The Seventh Layer of Awakening Vein Realm marked the late stage, the second significant barrier! Upon breaking through, the strength boost would likely be even more terrifying! If Sun Yingyang advanced to the Seventh Layer, I might not be able to fully eliminate him!
Since he had decided to annihilate the Sun Family, Luo Cheng wanted absolute certainty, leaving no room for mishaps.
"Ah, let’s try this!"
Recalling something, Luo Cheng swiped his finger and retrieved a blood-colored jade bottle.
This was the Blood Essence Pill bestowed upon him by the Blood Crow True Master!
According to the Blood Crow True Master, this pill could assist him in breaking through the Fourth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm, accelerating the pace of his breakthrough—truly remarkable!
That such a Spirit Pill was held in great regard by a True Master-level powerhouse spoke volumes of its extraordinary quality.
Luo Cheng uncorked the bottle and poured out the elixirs inside.
Instantly, the entire valley was suffused with a brilliant blood-red aura, and a rich bloody scent filled the air.
Oddly, this bloody scent did not disgust; rather, a single breath of it made the entire body warm and the spirit invigorated.
The source of the bloody aura lay in the three blood-red Spirit Pills resting in Luo Cheng’s palm.
The pills were blood-golden in color, with twisted patterns etched across their surfaces, resembling struggling blood shadows. Streams of crimson energy swirled around them, revealing faint images of five stars floating within.
"Five-star Spirit Pill!"
Gazing at the Blood Essence Pills in his hand, Luo Cheng took a deep breath, shock evident on his face.
He could sense that the quality of these Blood Essence Pills far surpassed that of the Meridian Opening Pill!
