Chapter 357: Assaulting The Xiantian Late Stage!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
“That old man should have nothing else to say now right?”
Bai Xiang scratched the back of his head uncertainly. Throughout this period of time, he’d really suffered greatly in the hands of the old man.
This ravine was over 3000 meters below ground level and just happened to be situated right beside a small desert oasis.
Bai Xiang stomped heavily against the ground and his body immediately rose into the air. In the blink of an eye, he’d reached over 100, 200 meters!
“Earth Sword!”
The ravine was flanked by smooth, sheer cliffs over 500 meters tall and with no footholds. Bai Xiang gave a low roar and a large number of golden swords appeared behind him, looking like a peacock fanning out its tail!
A series of buzzing sounds rang out as the swords stabbed into the side of the cliffs with ease, forming a flight of stairs!
Bai Xiang shifted his body and stepped on a sword, propelling himself upward. Everywhere his feet landed, there would be a series of golden swords appearing under him.
“AHH!”
“I’ve finally come out!”
Numerous two meter long and three fingers wide swords soared out of the ravine behind Bai Xiang and disappeared into his back.
“Yi? So much confidence? Looks like your Golden Geng Undying Body has reached grand completion already.”
Just as Bai Xiang was rejoicing over his return to freedom, an aged voice drifted over from the top of a tall cactus nearby, sending chills down his spine.
“Old man, my Golden Geng Undying Body has already reached the grand completion stage. Y-you’re no longer a match for me now…”
The first half of Bai Xiang’s words were rather loud, but his voice fell into a whimper as he finished his sentence.
The one who had spoken earlier was a short old fellow, only about 1.5m tall. His head was full of jet-black hair and faint wrinkles lined his face, a sign of his age.
“Spar with this granddaddy then!”
A look of pride and relief flashed across the old man’s aged face. This child was like a disciple to him, and a grandson at the same time. The only problem with the kid was that he was a little too honest and trusting and his mind was a little too slow.
“Earth Sword!”
Seeing the old man act as soon as he finished with his words, Bai Xiang also jumped back in fright, instantly activating the Golden Geng Undying Body!
A thick layer of golden light appeared around Bai Xiang’s body. The golden light was so dazzling that Bai Xiang looked like a moving buddha statue. Numerous sharp swords appeared around him, streaking through the air to appear right before the old man!
“Not enough, it’s still not enough!”
There was no semblance of the weak and short image on the old man as soon as he started fighting. In fact, anyone under Controlled Dan would feel like they were facing a huge mountain if they were watching the old man’s movements!
“Dang! Dang!”
A series of clear sounds rang out, like the clanging church bells on an early morning.
Numerous incredibly sharp swords struck the old man’s body, instantly shattering inch by inch!
The corners of Bai Xiang’s mouth twitched uncontrollably as he saw this. How was he supposed to continue fighting? He couldn’t even break the other party’s defense!
“Earth Shaking Slaughtering Land!”
Bai Xiang directly used his strongest killing technique. A huge layer of golden mist formed in front of him, before directly appearing right in front of the old man!
The golden mist was incredibly realistic, surging endlessly!
“Boom!”
A huge explosion rang out, sending dust and sand flying in every direction!
The golden mist was like an entire piece of land, smashing down on the old man. As it descended and trapped the old man in its center, the huge landmass suddenly burst apart. The explosive force was all concentrated onto the old man’s body!
A sand cloud burst into the air, shrouding the entire area and causing everything to appear illusory.
“He was not smashed into the ground by me, was he?”
Bai Xiang scratched the back of his head and wondered.
“Bam!”
Before Bai Xiang could go over and check out the situation, a fist suddenly appeared beside him, smashing onto his head.
“Hur hur, you still have to train for a long time if you wish to defeat me, kid!”
The old man lightly blew away the dust on his fist as he chuckled loudly.
Bai Xiang stood to the side sulkily, rubbing his head. A huge swollen bruise had risen on his head, appearing exceptionally comical.
“Still, you can reluctantly be considered as having finished your apprenticeship.”
The old man rubbed his chin and smiled at Bai Xiang.
The old man almost suffered a blow from that last strike, which caused him quite a bit of surprise. Unexpectedly, although the kid was a little dim witted, he had a shockingly high comprehension of anything concerned with martial arts!
Luckily, he’d managed to react in time and block the strike. Despite that, he was still forced to erupt with his full power in that moment to block it. In the end, he’d expended too much strength, and even the ground below his feet felt light.

At this time, Bei Feng had finally managed to regain his peak middle stage Xiantian cultivation. His blood and Qi energy was like the roaring oceans, surging through his meridians.
Bei Feng did not stop circulating his blood and Qi. Instead, he prepared to begin assaulting the Xiantian late stage!
As he cultivated anew from Xiantian primary stage to the peak of Xiantian middle stage, while his overall blood and Qi had not grown more bountiful, his control over it had grown much more refined.
Large amounts of blood and Qi energy gathered into a huge wave, smashing against the barrier before his aperture!
Every time the wave hit, the barrier would tremble violently from the impact!
Bei Feng sat down cross-legged with a high grade spirit stone in each hand. With a constant supply of Ling Qi, his own blood and Qi energy was maintained at its peak level all throughout!
Even if his meridians received some damage from the large amounts of energy, they would be repaired very swiftly under the nourishment of Ling Qi.
Although Bei Feng was a pure body cultivator, it didn’t mean that spirit stones were useless for him.
In fact, the pure energy within the spirit stones could help his cultivation speed improve greatly!
Qi refining cultivators absorbed Heaven and Earth Ling Qi, turning it into a part of them, while body refining cultivators treated Heaven and Earth Ling Qi as a fuel to temper their bodies.
Although both methods resulted in an increase in power, the results were extremely different.
This siege on the barrier lasted from afternoon until the moon was high in the sky. The silvery rays of the moon shone down on the earth, covering everything in its warm glow.
Stellar energy from the Extreme Yin star cascaded down, automatically entering Bei Feng’s stellar acupoint, turning into fertilizer for his divine trees.
Bei Feng’s external aura grew dimmer and dimmer, finally disappearing completely. He seemed like an old monk in meditation, completely without emotion.
From the surface, it looked like he had failed to breach the bottleneck. However, huge changes were happening inside his body!
The blood and Qi energy in his dual apertures were shrinking and compacting continuously, waiting for a single earth-shaking moment to strike!
“Poof!”
The two high grade spirit stones had completely been sapped dry. With a light crushing sound, the two spirit stones burst apart into tiny particles of dust.
At this point, Bei Feng could already feel his body pulsing with pain. All the blood and Qi energy had already been compacted to their maximum capability.
“Hong long long!
If a dam was released, thousands of tons of water would rush forward with a deafening sound, blasting towards its destination!
“Badump, badump!”
Bei Feng’s powerful heard started to pound loudly like battle drums!
If anyone was standing beside Bei Feng at this moment, they would be able to hear his thumping heart!
It was hard to imagine how such a bountiful blood and Qi energy could exist in a human body. This alone was extremely shocking!
Bei Feng remained expressionless, not caring about the pain in his meridians. He was observing the changes to his body silently as though he was only an onlooker.
“Whoosh!”
The bountiful blood and Qi energy suddenly burst forth, charging with the force of countless war horses, smashing brutally against the barrier!
A series of soft sounds rang out brightly as numerous blood-diamond-colored Qi was evaporated. The blood and Qi energy backed up also grew continuously as it surged against the barrier relentlessly!
“Po!”
The incredibly sturdy barrier suddenly collapsed, turning into numerous motes of light which sunk into his meridians, following his blood and Qi to flow into the newly opened aperture!
A small vortex abruptly appeared on his right foot’s aperture point, as if a mini-sun had risen in his body!
