Chapter 1223: Chapter 1223: Promoted Three Levels in a Row

Sitting cross-legged in the center of the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, Fang Bai’s inner Essence Energy began to flow crazily through his meridians and spill outwards, filling the space within the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron as Madam Linghu and the Swordtooth Shark commenced their fierce battle.

If the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron were not sturdy enough, it would have shattered into pieces under the impact of the wildly overflowing Essence Energy, scattering and flying in all directions.

When this surging Essence Energy reached its peak, under the guidance of Fang Bai’s will, it began to converge in one place, launching an assault on a new critical point of the Martial Dao realm.

The strong impact, like a bursting dam, lasted only for a short dozen breaths and broke through Fang Bai’s critical point of the Martial Dao realm, elevating his "Dragon-Tiger-Lion-Elephant Technique" from the initial stage of the Form Essence Realm to the middle stage.

In the past, after advancing in rank, the crazily circulating Essence Energy within Fang Bai’s meridians would rapidly return to the Qi Sea until it calmed down.

But now, after breaking through a Martial Dao critical point, the mad Essence Energy showed no signs of ceasing. Instead, its momentum unabated, it surged forward like a wild lion breaking free from chains, unstoppable.

Fang Bai was both shocked and elated, knowing that this battle with Madam Linghu turned misfortune into a blessing.

Firstly, he was driven to a critical juncture by Madam Linghu’s frenzied attacks, squeezing out his body’s potential, and with multiple injuries, aligning with the principle of "no destruction, no construction," which doubled the effect of his secluded cultivation.

Moreover, the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, capable of nurturing the Five Elements Origin Qi of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, is truly a treasure of heaven and earth. Fang Bai exhausted all Cultivation Resources during his cultivation inside it, which also had the effect of doubling his efforts.

These various favorable factors combined, bringing tremendous benefits to Fang Bai.

Since his rebirth, Fang Bai had experienced consecutive rank advancements, but this time was hugely different from the past. Seeing the undiminished power of the Essence Energy’s assault, based on his past life’s experience, Fang Bai felt there was a good chance of breaking through at least two minor realms in succession.

That is to say, the initial stage of Form Essence Realm cultivation could now possibly advance consecutively to the middle and high stages of the Form Essence Realm.

With some luck, he might even reach the perfection of the Form Essence Realm.

Perfection of the Form Essence Realm is equivalent to Cosmic Level perfection in the True Martial Realm. With Fang Bai’s ability to challenge beyond his level, he could soon become an invincible hand among Universe Level Experts.

Even if he encounters Half-Step Innate Experts like Madam Linghu again, he would have the strength to contend and not be chased for thousands of miles and nearly lose his life as before.

In the following hundred breaths, Fang Bai continued to guide the turbulent Essence Energy with his will, advancing powerfully and breaking through two more Martial Dao barriers within his body, reaching the coveted perfection of the Form Essence Realm.

Upon reaching the perfection of the Form Essence Realm, the rampant Essence Energy that had wrought havoc in Fang Bai’s meridians for a long time finally calmed down, swiftly returning to the Qi Sea, and regained tranquility, as if nothing had happened.

"Whew..."

Moments later, Fang Bai let out a sigh of relief and slowly opened his eyes, emerging from the cultivation state.

Two beams of sharp light shot out from Fang Bai’s eyes, bright and piercing, making it hard for others to look directly at them.

Having secludedly cultivated in the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron for over half a month, Fang Bai had exhausted the Cultivation Resources piled up in his Space Ring. Not only had his injuries healed, but his physical body also became even more firm and robust than before, his strength leaping from the initial stage of the Form Essence Realm to perfection—a qualitative leap.

Even Fang Bai himself had not anticipated that this perilous journey to the Purgatory Sea would bring him such a great opportunity.

The higher the cultivation realm of a Martial Artist, the more difficult it is to advance further. Under a fortunate coincidence, Fang Bai consecutively advanced through three minor realms within half a month, which could be said to be unprecedented in the True Martial Realm. If the word of this spread, it would surely cause many envy and shame among the proud sons and daughters of powerful clans.

"Eh? It looks like this human and beast have started fighting. Heh, now there’s going to be a good show!"

Fang Bai’s first thought after leaving his cultivation state was to leave the inside of the Swordtooth Shark. When his Divine Sense extended outward, he discovered that Madam Linghu was already engaged in a fierce battle with the Swordtooth Shark.

Madam Linghu was a woman with a heart of a serpent and scorpion, and the Swordtooth Shark was a fierce and violent monster. Their battle was something Fang Bai enjoyed watching.

The Swordtooth Shark wanted to devour Madam Linghu as a delicacy; Madam Linghu wanted to kill or drive the Swordtooth Shark away to escape the crisis.

Both were putting forth their full effort to achieve their own goals through combat.

In the midst of the sea, the Swordtooth Shark had home-field advantage with its speed and formidable physical strength, giving it a significant edge. After a long and arduous battle, and seeing that she was unable to repel the Swordtooth Shark while her Essence Energy was also rapidly depleting, Madam Linghu had no choice but to stimulate her body’s potential for a final struggle.

After a Half-Step Innate Expert stimulated their body’s potential, their strength could increase by more than double than before. Thus, Madam Linghu’s power immediately became a notch higher than that of the Swordtooth Shark.

But in the blink of an eye, the formidable body of the Swordtooth Shark bore numerous wounds inflicted by the whip of condensed Essence Energy from Madam Linghu, each cut deeply inches into its flesh, blurring blood and flesh.

The ferocious and violent Swordtooth Shark, accustomed to reigning over the Purgatory Sea, when has it ever suffered such a substantial loss? In a fit of enraged madness, its immense body rolled and twisted in the sea, diving in and out, causing waves like small mountains that relentlessly surged and struck at Madam Linghu.

Madam Linghu shouted angrily as she maneuvered the Snow Swine in the sea, weaving and dodging the Swordtooth Shark’s attacks while also looking for its weakness, preparing for a lethal strike.

Suddenly, the giant tail of the Swordtooth Shark swung fiercely in the water, leveraging the reaction force of the water, its body, stretching dozens of feet long, unexpectedly leapt from the surface, like a toppling mountain, bearing down on Madam Linghu.

Its body weighed thousands of pounds, and with the added force of crashing down from mid-air, how could it not have the force of tens of thousands of pounds?

Madam Linghu looked up to see the vast body of the Swordtooth Shark pressing down from the air, and the sheer oppressive force filled her with a surge of panic, her first reaction being to dodge.

But then, she caught sight of the slightly paler belly of the Swordtooth Shark, prompting a flicker of opportunity in her mind.

"This is an excellent chance for a counterattack; if I miss it, I might not have another opportunity to kill this beast. Worse, I could fall to its attack!"

With thoughts racing through her mind like lightning, Madam Linghu gritted her teeth and quickly stowed away the Spirit Fox Grass, summoning a longsword glowing with green radiance.

"Kill!"

With a fierce shout, Madam Linghu wielded the sword with both hands and executed a full-powered upswing at the very moment the Swordtooth Shark was about to crash onto her head.

This sword was a high-quality Spiritual Artifact that Madam Linghu had a Artifact Refiner craft for her using a large amount of Cultivation Resources during her adventures in the Shenwu Continent. Since then, she had not encountered an opponent of equal standing, so this Sword-Type Spirit Weapon had remained largely unused.

The sword, already unparalleled in sharpness, combined with Madam Linghu tapping into her full potential, the Swordtooth Shark, despite its formidable body, could not withstand it.

"Chi-la!"

The sound of a sharp weapon slicing flesh sounded as the Swordtooth Shark’s softest spot on the belly was cut open by the Sword-Type Spirit Weapon in Madam Linghu’s hands, leaving nearly a ten-foot-long gash.

Blood rained down immediately, spraying through the air, along with a black and gloomy Furnace Cauldron.
