Chapter 577: Reincarnation Unyielding Slash!
"Eight... Eighty meridian gates!"
Yan Cangtian's eyes were wide open in disbelief, almost popping out of their sockets. He exclaimed, "Kid, did you take some kind of miraculous drug?"
"No, no..." Yan Cangtian shook his head repeatedly. "Not even drugs could be this outrageous. Even the Meridian-Breaking Golden Pill wouldn't have such heaven-defying effects!"
"It wasn't the Meridian-Breaking Golden Pill," Ling Feng scratched the back of his head, smiling sheepishly. "I told you, I had a bit of good fortune."
"What kind of fortune?"
Ling Feng grinned and said, "When I was passing by the Sea-Blue Abyss, I found a Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit."
"Gulp..."
Yan Cangtian swallowed hard. As a sixth-grade alchemist, how could he not know what the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit signified?
A Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit, a Poison Fruit of Ten Thousand Evil—how did all these rare, once-in-a-millennium, or even once-in-ten-thousand-years, treasures end up finding their way to this kid?
"Goodness, eighty meridian gates!"
Yan Cangtian took a long time to calm himself down. "I thought I was already defying the heavens when I broke through the second heavenly barrier and opened sixty-four meridian gates back in the day. But you’ve actually managed to breach the third heavenly barrier!"
"Unfortunately, it's been a month since I opened the eighty meridian gates, but the eighty-first seems to be sealed by some mysterious force. Even swallowing a Meridian-Breaking Golden Pill didn't have much of an effect," Ling Feng sighed lightly.
"Kid, do you even know what the third heavenly barrier is?" Yan Cangtian rolled his eyes at Ling Feng's words. "Do you think you can break through the third heavenly barrier in just one month? Do you know how many geniuses throughout history have been stuck at that barrier, unable to progress? Why don't you just ascend to the heavens while you're at it!"
"Ascending to the heavens would be easier than this."
Ling Feng shrugged. Before, he could open several, or even a dozen, meridian gates in a single month. Now that he was stuck, it was natural for him to feel a bit frustrated.
If Yan Cangtian knew what was going through Ling Feng's mind, he might have wanted to strangle him on the spot. After all, it had taken Yan Cangtian over two years to break through the sixty-fourth meridian gate!
And Ling Feng hadn't even been cultivating for two full years yet.
After a long, long time.
Yan Cangtian finally managed to suppress the shock in his heart. He cleared his throat and said slowly, "It seems that, in terms of destructive power, your strength has reached the level of a third-level Spiritual Element Realm expert. But don't underestimate the other experts at this level, especially the geniuses of the Spiritual Element Realm.
"Geniuses cannot be measured by common standards!"
And then—
Crack!
Crack!
...
More and more cracks crawled across the entire elemental qi barrier. Yan Cangtian didn't even have time to channel his elemental qi to repair it before the barrier completely shattered.
The remaining sword qi struck his robe directly, slicing a huge tear in it.
Then, a loud clang echoed as the sword qi seemed to collide with the inner armor Yan Cangtian wore underneath. Only then did the sword qi finally dissipate.
"Uh..." Yan Cangtian's eyes flashed with disbelief once again. "How is this possible? I clearly sensed that the energy had already dissipated. How did it suddenly erupt again?"
"This is the strange aspect of the Reincarnation Unyielding Slash," Ling Feng said with a faint smile. "Reincarnation embodies the cycles of yin and yang, strength and weakness, life and death. All of these are forms of reincarnation. My Reincarnation Unyielding Slash can switch between strong and weak states of true qi, achieving a continuous, unyielding effect."
"Continuous and unyielding!"
Yan Cangtian took in a sharp breath. "Now I understand why the Reincarnated Sword Will is known as the strongest among the ten attributed sword wills. If you master this move, even a great emperor might fall into your trap one day!"
"It's only effective when catching someone off guard. Once they know about it, it won't be as useful," Ling Feng chuckled and sheathed his Eradicator of Realms.
He let out a soft breath. Although the Reincarnation Heaven-Burying Sword Art didn't consume as much energy as the Heaven-Slaying Sword Art, using it still required nearly a tenth of his true qi.
Moreover, the Reincarnated Sword Will consumed a vast amount of spiritual consciousness power.
Restricted by his current realm and without having awakened his soul manifestation, his spiritual consciousness was still too weak. As a result, he couldn't use the Reincarnation Heaven-Burying Sword Art frequently.
"Kid, you always manage to surprise me," Yan Cangtian said with a squinting smile. "With strength like yours, I no longer need to worry about you. Now, I can fully focus on reaching the human emperor level."
"I've made Elder Yan worry too much," Ling Feng thought to himself, feeling a surge of gratitude. With a flip of his hand, he retrieved some Earth-Fire True Essence from his storage spirit ring and said calmly, "Elder Yan, I prepared this Earth-Fire True Essence for you."
"Earth-Fire True Essence?"
Yan Cangtian's eyes widened once again. As a fire-attribute cultivator, Earth-Fire True Essence would be incredibly beneficial to him as well.
"Kid, I won't hold back then." Yan Cangtian took the bottle of Earth-Fire True Essence with excitement and declared, "With this Earth-Fire True Essence, I will definitely break through to the human emperor level within a month!"
