After removing the Skull Blood Curse, Li Fuchen’s body refinement was finally unsealed.
Right now, he just had to wait for his qi blood to recover before he consumed the Thunder Calamity Herb and absorbed the spirit qi within the peak-grade spirit stone. He would then be able to progress from the sub-completion level of the Primary Sea Realm to the completion level.
“There is no need to hurry. I shall increase my qi cultivation level first.”
In the past, when both body refinement and qi cultivation were of similar levels, the former would be stronger. Right now, it was definitely a reverse. Furthermore, Li Fuchen was always using qi cultivation as the main path and he naturally had plans to increase his qi cultivation first. Once the qi cultivation reached the limits, he would then turn to improve his body refinement.
After taking out the peak-grade spirit stone, Li Fuchen said to himself, ‘The peak-grade spirit stone might be precious, but I don’t need to just keep it with me and not use it until I am at the Law Phase Realm. Perhaps I might obtain another peak-grade spirit stone or have other chance encounters after reaching the Law Phase Realm.’
Li Fuchen circulated the Divine Flame Sword Energy Technique and started to absorb the spirit qi within the peak-grade spirit stone.
Swish Swish Swish…
Like a rising tide, Li Fuchen’s cultivation was increasing little by little.
Middle state of 4th level Primary Sea Realm… Later state of 4th level Primary Sea Realm… Peak state of 4th level Primary Sea Realm.
5th level of Primary Sea Realm.
Peak state of 5th level Primary Sea Realm.
6th level of Primary Sea Realm.
The spirit qi from the peak-grade spirit stone was too pure and it was even purer than Li Fuchen’s sword energy. Li Fuchen simply had to circulate the Divine Flame Sword Energy Technique to transmute the peak-grade spirit stone’s spirit qi into the sword energy, there wasn’t a need to further purify it.
However, after his qi cultivation reached the peak state of 6th level Primary Sea Realm, Li Fuchen was stuck again.
“It seems like I overestimated the effects of the Rootless Flowers.” Li Fuchen frowned.
He originally thought that his dantian limit would be at the 7th level of Primary Sea Realm, but it turned out to be at the 6th level of Primary Sea Realm.
He reckoned that after consuming the first Rootless Flower, the effects of additional consummation would only get weaker.
Even though his qi cultivation was only at the 6th level of Primary Sea Realm, Li Fuchen’s attack power was definitely at the level of a high-class combat emperor. Furthermore, he was probably an elite among the high-class combat emperors. In terms of overall strength, Li Fuchen felt that he could suppress a high-class combat emperor. As for his ability to contest with peak-class combat emperors, he had to fight with one in order to find out.
After all, peak-class combat emperors were already considered Law Phase Realm emperors and it was hard to fathom their strengths.
Next up, Li Fuchen started to improve his body refinement.
With the peak-grade spirit stone, the qi blood that was devoured by the Skull Blood Curse was quickly replenished.
Bang Crackle!
After consuming the Thunder Calamity Herb, Li Fuchen’s body emitted a lively thunderous light while his qi blood source was rapidly being strengthened.
The body’s endurance limit was actually the limit of the qi blood source too.
To a certain extent, the body refinement level was related to the qi blood source.
The maximum level of the body refinement was dependent on the level of the qi blood source. Among all the living creatures, the demons had the strongest qi blood source and it was why demons didn’t need to intentionally cultivate but still had horrifying toughness.
Among all the living creatures, humans were the ones with the weakest qi blood source, therefore, they required all sorts of resources to nourish the body and required body refinement technique to reform the body. With these two factors combined, they were able to surpass demons.
A single stalk of Thunder Calamity Herb was enough to strengthen Li Fuchen’s qi blood source by two times.
It might also be due to the fact that Li Fuchen’s qi blood source was already weak, that’s why the improvement was rather significant.
After stabilizing the qi blood source, Li Fuchen circulated the Dragon Elephant Body Forging Chapter and started to absorb the spirit qi in the peak-grade spirit stone.
Streaks of spirit qi were transmuted into the dragon elephant power, while Li Fuchen’s body toughness and structure were constantly enhanced and optimized.
Crackle!
There was a faint cracking sound as Li Fuchen’s body refinement reached the sub-completion level of Primary Sea Realm.
A powerful qi blood wave spread out along with a horrifying vitality qi field.
A human body was just like a small qi field and the stronger the qi blood, the stronger the qi field.
It was said that when the body refinement reached the saint’s realm, the vitality qi field would be able to contest with the world’s qi field. By then, the body would be considered a small world.
Li Fuchen stayed within the inn for seven consecutive days. Seven days later, Li Fuchen’s body refinement finally reached the completion level of Primary Sea Realm.
In terms of body refinement level, Li Fuchen was already comparable with Shangguan Yu.
Of course, Shangguan Yu was cultivating an earth class peak-tier body refinement technique, while Li Fuchen was cultivating an earth class high-tier body refinement technique, therefore, their body refinement strength still had a rather huge difference.
Apart from that, the completion level of Primary Sea Realm was already the limit of the Dragon Elephant Body Forging Chapter.
Normally, an earth class mid-tier body refinement technique would allow the practitioner to reach the initial level of Primary Sea Realm.
An earth class high-tier body refinement technique would allow the practitioner to reach the completion level of Primary Sea Realm.
An earth class peak-tier body refinement technique would allow the practitioner to reach the initial level of Law Phase Realm.
As for the heaven class low-tier body refinement technique, it would allow the practitioner to reach the completion level of Law Phase Realm.
And so on…
If Li Fuchen wished to continue improving his body refinement, he would need to find a body refinement technique of a higher grade, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to improve.
“I obtained the Dragon Elephant Body Forging Chapter back at the Mystic Martial Hidden Domain’s Door of Earth. At the Door of Heaven, I obtained an imprint of heaven, I wonder what martial art is contained within.”
Li Fuchen lifted his left hand and worked hard to search for any trace of clues.
Perhaps it was because his body refinement had reached the completion level of Primary Sea Realm, Li Fuchen could feel a trace of terrifying qi blood wave from the center of his left palm.
After thinking through, Li Fuchen channeled his qi blood and qi power towards the center of his left palm.
Finally, Li Fuchen looked inside the center of his left palm and it was a world of blood. Inside this world of blood, there was a golden palm floating there.
The golden palm was awe-inspiring as though the unfathomable heaven dao. Li Fuchen felt as though he could see this golden palm slamming down on the continent, reaching out and crushing stars, producing a storm with the lift of the hand. It was impossible to describe the prowess of this golden palm. If a description must be given, then it should be described as the overturning of the world and the shifting of the universe.
Subsequently, a message surged into Li Fuchen’s mind.
“Hand of God, I relied on it to dominate the universe. Countless saints died because of this hand and therefore, it is given the name as the Hand of Devil. Be it the Hand of God or Hand of Devil, it is a method to reach the higher realm. It is a pity that the heavens have no place for me. In the face of the great calamity, everything is in vain. I am ultimately unable to turn the Hand of God into the real Hand of God. The real Hand of God is able to control one’s own fate and sever the river of fate. Fated one, strive to control your own destiny!”
The voice echoed in Li Fuchen’s mind.
Li Fuchen reckoned that the owner of the voice should be the absolute saint that created the Hand of God.
However, this absolute saint was already dead and had left behind the Hand of God as an inheritance.
However, what did he mean to reach a higher realm? Was there a higher realm above the saint’s realm?
Li Fuchen shook his head while information related to the Hand of God appeared in his mind.
“Hand of God, heaven class peak-tier body refinement art. It has a total of seven stages. The first stage is the Hand of Blood; the second stage is the Hand of Power; the third stage is the Hand of Star; the fourth stage is the Hand of Moon, the fifth stage is the Hand of Sun; the sixth stage is the Hand of Calamity; and the seventh stage is the Hand of God.”
After reading through, Li Fuchen couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
The Hand of God was stronger than he had imagined.
The first stage’s Hand of Blood and the second stage’s Hand of Power already had strength comparable with heaven class mid-tier body refinement arts.
The third, fourth, and fifth stages were corresponding to heaven class high-tier body refinement arts.
The sixth stage was corresponding to heaven class peak-tier body refinement arts.
As for the seventh stage, it was just a concept, but after achieving it, a single hand was enough to overturn the world and oppress the universe.
In normal situations, heaven class mid-tier body refinement arts were comparable with heaven class high-tier qi cultivation arts. Heaven class high-tier body refinement arts were comparable with heaven class peak-tier qi cultivation arts. It was imaginable, how powerful the Hand of God was.
“Let me cultivate the first stage, Hand of Blood first.”
If Li Fuchen didn’t obtain the inheritance of the Hand of God, Li Fuchen planned to create his own heaven class low-tier body refinement art. He believed that with his perception, it wouldn’t be overly difficult.
However, with the Hand of God now, he didn’t need to create a body refinement art.
As time elapsed bit by bit, a group of uninvited guests arrived at the Eastern Guest Town.
“Young Master, I received news that he is staying in the East Arrival Inn.” A high-level monarch spoke to Wang Yuan respectfully.
“Form the formation and surround the East Arrival Inn.” Wang Yuan had a sinister expression.
Being ridiculed by Li Fuchen in the public was the worst humiliation he had suffered. No matter what, he had to kill Li Fuchen, otherwise, it would form a trauma in his heart.
“Yes.”
31 high-level monarchs soared into the sky and formed a large halberd. It was brimming with baleful aura and terrified everyone in the Eastern Guest Town.
The East Arrival Inn’s innkeeper, waiters, and all the guests quickly escaped from the inn while Wang Yuan ignored them.
The Eastern Guest Town was a large town and it was already against the rules to kill Li Fuchen. If he was to kill other innocent people, he would definitely be punished.
In the center of the town, the Mayor Song Pan and Deputy Mayor Li Bin were looking at the East Arrival Inn from far away.
“Mayor, should we stop them and ask them to fight outside of the town?” Li Bin asked hesitantly.
Song Pan glared at Li Bin, “You might wish to die, but I don’t. That is the Wang Clan’s prodigy descendant. If we offended him, both our clans will be eradicated.”
The Wang Clan was one of the eight major emperor-class clans and their Clan Head was the follower of the Soul Emperor. Let alone the violation of laws in the Eastern Guest Town, even if they violated laws in the main cities, they would only be slightly punished and nothing major would happen to them.
Wang Yuan flew into the Wang Halberd Battle Formation with lightning speed and yelled out, “Little bastard, hurry up and come out to die.”
When he arrived at the Eastern Guest Town, he had already treated Li Fuchen as a dead person.
The Wang Halberd Battle Formation that was formed by 32 high-level monarchs was already enough to contest with combat emperors. He was a low-level combat emperor and with his strength combined, even a high-class combar emperor would perish. Even if Li Fuchen was one of the Four Young Masters, Wang Yuan was confident he would be victorious.
“Do you really wish to die so much?” A cold voice echoed.
“Kill!”
After confirming that Li Fuchen was inside, the giant halberd in Wang Yuan’s hand lifted high and cleaved down forcefully. In that instant, the whole place was dusky and the baleful aura was like a dark demonic dragon which smashed down together with the giant halberd.
If the halberd really smashed down, East Arrival Inn would vanish from the world along with Li Fuchen inside.
“You are the one that sought death, don’t blame me.”
Rumble!
Before the giant halberd could smash down on the East Arrival Inn, it suddenly shattered. There was a burst of blood light as a giant blood palm surged into the sky. It grabbed onto Wang Yuan’s Wang Halberd Battle Formation as though it was a little chick.
Pfff!
Blood splattered everywhere. All 32 members of the battle formation were vanquished, including Wang Yuan.
