Chapter 604 - 603: Breaking Through the Human Elixir Realm!

Chapter 604: Chapter 603: Breaking Through the Human Elixir Realm!

"Sword River Sinking and Floating!"

Yejian Qiu used a Martial Soul Secret Skill, enveloping Lin Bai inside.

Lin Bai was within the Sword River, shaking constantly like a solitary boat on the vast ocean, at any moment about to be engulfed by a fierce wave!

Lin Bai’s face was solemn, and his eyes flashed brightly!

"Flying Sword!"

Lin Bai bellowed once, and the Flying Sword charged out of his Dantian!

"Break through his Sword River!"

"Divine Power! Snow-Burying!"

"Flying Sword! Snow-Burying!"

Between Lin Bai and the Flying Sword’s coordination, two heaven-reaching earth-penetrating Sword Qi aggressively slashed down.

Inside this expanse of Sword River, an immediate explosion erupted!

With a loud bang!

The Sword River exploded, and both Lin Bai and the Flying Sword rushed out, striking forcefully toward Yejian Qiu.

At this moment, when Yejian Qiu saw the Sword River shattering, he was immediately taken aback: "He actually broke my Sword River..."

Yejian Qiu saw Lin Bai and the Flying Sword rushing out of the Sword River, his face filled with shock, as he hastily used Sword Skill to counterattack.

"Waning Flower!"

Lin Bai and the Flying Sword unleashed another heaven-reaching, earth-penetrating slash, shattering all of Yejian Qiu’s defenses, and striking powerfully on Yejian Qiu’s chest!

Spurt!

Yejian Qiu was sent flying and landed below the Martial Arts Stage!

Silence!

The entire Sword Discussion City’s nine thousand Sword Cultivators were silent as the dead, not a sound was heard, not even the falling snow!

This included Dugu Yun, and Jian Qianqiu, Jian Ruohan, who were still deeply trapped in Yejian Qiu’s boundlessly terrifying Martial Soul Secret Skill. They even felt that Lin Bai would die within the Sword River.

But, who could have imagined that in a mere blink of an eye, the tide of battle had suddenly turned.

Lin Bai, clasping the Flying Sword, tore through the Sword River, breaking through the sky and rushing out, like lightning, he made the quickest counterattack, sending Yejian Qiu out of the Martial Arts Stage with one slash!

Roar——

After a long silence, every warrior in Sword Discussion City erupted in a deafening cheer.

Especially the cheers from Famous Sword Manor, which were so loud they roared and echoed into the heavens.

The cheers echoed in Lin Bai’s ears, sending his blood surging with excitement.

Dugu Yun deeply startled, said: "Too fast, the reversal was almost instantaneous!"

Jian Qianqiu said: "That sword of Lin Bai’s that can fly, the power on it’s even stronger than Lin Bai. In their coordination, it’s as if there were two Lin Bais attacking Yejian Qiu at the same time!"

Dugu Yun also said, "That’s right, without the Flying Sword, Lin Bai would have undoubtedly lost today. But when the Flying Sword was drawn, it’s equivalent to two Lin Bais ganging up on Yejian Qiu. That’s why Yejian Qiu was defeated, as he couldn’t resist in that instant!"

Jian Qianqiu said, "I guess that Flying Sword is Lin Bai’s ace in the hole!"

Dugu Yun laughed, "It should be, once the Flying Sword comes out, it gives Lin Bai the power to reverse situations!"

Yejian Qiu stood up from the ground, looking at Lin Bai standing steadily on the Martial Arts Stage, and slightly smiled: "I lost!"

Crack crack——

Yejian Qiu’s face fell in disappointment, a bitter smile on his face.

However, at this moment, a vortex was suddenly forming within Yejian Qiu’s body, encompassing the entire Sword Discussion City, as well as sucking in all the spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred thousand miles.

This spiritual energy was involuntarily absorbed into Yejian Qiu’s body.

Dugu Yun exclaimed in horror, "Yejian Qiu is condensing the Divine Elixir!"

Jian Qianqiu remarked, "The rising moon of the Elixir Sea, True Qi is being transformed into spiritual energy. Indeed, he is about to condense the Divine Elixir!"

Dugu Yun continued, "No wonder Yejian Qiu said he came this year aiming only for defeat. It turns out he knew that his failure to break through to the Divine Elixir Realm this year was due to his complacency."

"Yejian Qiu cared too much about fame and fortune! It had led him to form a demon barrier!"

"And now, upon Yejian Qiu’s defeat, losing all his glory and riches, the demon barrier dissipated, enabling him to immediately form the elixir!"

Dugu Yun quickly noticed all the issues present with Yejian Qiu.

Ever since Yejian Qiu became the Dongling First Sword Cultivator last year and traveled everywhere receiving admiration, he gradually lost himself in the glory and comfort, his progress in Martial Arts being halted.

Today, Lin Bai defeated him, shattered all his dreams and glory, eliminated the demon barrier, and promptly formed the elixin.

"Has he broken through to the Human Elixir Realm?" Lin Bai curiously watched Yejian Qiu.

Lin Bai had never seen a warrior condensing the Divine Elixir in front of him.

This process lasted for about half an hour.

Half an hour later, the roaring spiritual energy from the heaven and earth, devoured by Yejian Qiu, gradually disappeared, and at this moment, Yejian Qiu’s cultivation officially broke through to the Human Elixir Realm.

Now when Lin Bai looked at Yejian Qiu, he felt his cultivation was unfathomably deep, just like a deep pool of water!

The Yejian Qiu after breaking through to the Human Elixir Realm, with every move he made, was emitting an overwhelming power!

"This doesn’t seem to be True Qi, this is a power stronger than True Qi!"

"According to what I had read in the classics before, after condensing the Divine Elixir, True Qi in the Dantian will be transformed into a more powerful force, referred to as Spiritual Power!"

"The power in Yejian Qiu now should be this Spiritual Power."

Lin Bai thought slowly in his heart.

The Divine Elixir Realm marked a qualitative transformation in a warrior.

A Divine Elixir was formed and True Qi was transformed into Spiritual Power.

The existence of the Divine Elixir brought bountiful benefits to the warrior.

The Spiritual Power of the Divine Elixir continuously refined the warrior’s Divine Soul, physical body, bloodline, tendons, bones, heart, internal organs, and so on.

This was why some powerful martial artists, with just a drop of blood, could suppress all heavens and myriad realms, and remain alive with a strand of remnant soul.

For instance, the Great Demon Lin Bai encountered in the East Sea and the Remnant Soul recovering in the Wooden Sword at the Famous Sword Manor; they all reached an insurmountable peak in their martial arts cultivation. Their Spiritual Power had refined their souls to be indestructible by heaven and earth and unpunishable by gods and demons, enabling them to survive.

Because after they broke through to the Divine Elixir Realm, Spiritual Power continually refined their bloodline and Divine Soul, strengthened their physical body, making their physical body and Divine Soul much stronger.

In the early stage of martial arts, the warriors who condensed the Divine Elixir were regarded as transcending the mundane and entering the sacred!

Once the Divine Elixir was condensed, they were no longer mortals.

As a warrior’s cultivation became stronger, the physical body, bloodline, and Divine Soul, five senses, and internal organs of the warrior would all be enhanced.

All these were attributed to the Divine Elixir.

When one condensed the Divine Elixir in the early stage of Martial Arts, this state is also said to be capable of challenging heaven.

After condensing the Divine Elixir and breaking the limits of the physical body, the warrior could challenge Heaven, fly above ground and under heaven, break Yin and Yang, understand life and death, and aspire to the summit of the world!

Hence, for a Warrior, the Divine Elixir Realm was an extremely important state.

This was also why Lin Bai encountered that Giant at the Human Elixir Realm.

Because once Lin Bai broke through the Divine Elixir Realm, Lin Bai would truly possess the ability to challenge and seize life from Heaven!

By then, the intent of heaven and earth would not be able to control Lin Bai! As he would have the ability to shatter all shackles on him, besides, the Devouring Sword Spirit inherently possessed infinite possibilities!
