The terrifying Star Palace stood in the center of the city, visible even from tens of li away. Shocking energy ripples surged out continuously, causing even those who were watching to tremble with fear!
Bei Feng’s body was right in the very center of the whole commotion, and all kinds of precious herbs and pills were swallowed into his stomach as if they were water. The Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique was revolving at full force along with it.
The pure medicinal energy leaking out from him covered the entire chamber in a greenish mist filled with powerful energy!
“Humans follow the laws of the Heavens, and the Earth embodies all the laws of the world. Heaven and Earth flow in accordance with nature; refine for me!”
Bei Feng sat cross-legged, his face calm and expressionless. His vast mental power precisely controlled every bit of energy in his body.
Layers of blood were expelled from Bei Feng’s body, instantly evaporating and turning into a blood mist which hung in the air.
Bei Feng revolved the cultivation technique with all his might, concentrating on absorbing the ocean’s worth of energy into his body at every moment. Of all the medicinal energy, 50 percent was directed into his spine!
With a speed visible to the naked eye, Bei Feng’s spine emerged on his back, protruding like the spine of a large dragon!
The skin along his spine had turned completely red as an insane temperature radiated from his back. In a short moment, the clothes on him were set aflame!
“Spine like dragon, blood Qi like mercury!”
Bei Feng only felt an intense heat emanating from his spine. All the old cells in his spine were directly disintegrated, turning into black dirt which was expelled through his pores!
My blood Qi is far superior to a regular person’s in terms of purity. As my foundations are too strong, it will take some time to remodel my spine.
The bone marrow in Bei Feng’s spine completely disappeared in an instant; at the same time, the powerful medicinal energy in his body gushed into the spine.
It was a process of constant deconstruction and reconstruction, turning the cells more perfect with every round!
The originally crimson blood in his spine had already begun to change, and a hint of silver could now be seen among the red.
As the silver blood began to appear, the amount of spiritual herbs his body required went up another level as the latter absorbed the medicinal energy madly!
The silverish blood was exceptionally resplendent, and viscous to the extreme.
Just a single strand of silver blood had a blood Qi energy that far surpassed all the red blood’s in Bei Feng’s body!
In the outside world, a huge hole had opened in the sky, and terrifying stellar energy fell from the sky in huge beams. Towards the end, they even resembled all kinds of weapons!
A bright red spear hung high in the sky, emanating a shocking killing aura, causing everyone to feel a deep shock in their hearts.
An earthy yellow hammer also appeared within a pillar of stellar energy, emanating an aura as heavy as a mountain. It was as if it was not a hammer, but a huge mountain instead!
These were just two of all the weapons in the air. Up in the sky, there were hundreds to thousands of such weapons!
The weapons smashed down towards the Star Palace with powerful force!
“BOOM!”
“Clang!”
“Zeng!”
The Star Palace began to crack and break under the assault of the weapons in many areas, but with the huge amounts of stellar energy, it repaired itself with great speed as well.
It was as if the stellar energy had some form of consciousness and intelligence. This Star Palace wanted to swallow it, but the latter was unwilling to be swallowed, and transformed into weapons to destroy the star palace!
What kind of cultivation technique is Family Head practicing? Lu Bu raised his head and looked at the skies with some shock. The force of each of these stellar energy weapons was comparable to the full-force attack of half-step Thousand Year King realm experts!
With hundreds and thousands of these things, even Lu Bu would not dare meet them head on!
But right now, this somewhat incorporeal Star Palace had managed to block all of those attacks completely! In fact, the defensive strength of this Star Palace seemed to be able to disregard these attacks!
“What kind of cultivation technique is Father using for there to be such a huge commotion just when breaking through to the Thousand Year King realm?”
“This is not right… this energy is not blood Qi, but stellar energy. Only, stellar energy is something that can be seen, but not touched. What kind of cultivation technique would need so much terrifying stellar energy?”
The people of the Lu Family discussed the situation, somewhat unable to understand it.
Inside the chamber, Bei Feng had split his brain into controlling two actions. His hands were moving rapidly, continuously forming a series of complex and profound hand seals and imprinting them into the formation. At the same time, he was controlling the transformation in his body.
After using so many resources, it’s still insufficient. Fortunately, I’ve made some preparations in advance, Bei Feng gasped with shock internally. Although he’d known that he would definitely need to expend huge amounts of resources to break through to the Thousand Year King realm, he hadn’t expected that the amount of resources he required still far exceeded his calculations!
With a flick of his hand, 100,000 high-grade spirit stones flew out of his spatial ring, piling into a small mountain beside him. At the same time, he began to swallow down large amounts of spirit herbs. These spirit herbs were stuff that could only be encountered, not sought; the gangster rabbit Gu Qi had stolen them. Every single stalk was something that was useful to even Thousand Year Kings.
The Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique was like a bottomless black hole; no matter how many spirit herbs he threw in, there wasn’t even the slightest ripple to show for it.
However, Bei Feng knew that the spirit herbs had not been wasted, because the heat on his spine had become even more pronounced.
“BOOM!”
“Kacha!”
After a long time, a light pop could be felt as a sound rang out from the topmost section of his spine!
At this time, Bei Feng discovered an enormous change in his spine. There was a total of nine sections to the spine, and each section was incomparably sturdy, like a heavenly pillar!
At this time, a barrier at the lowest section of the spine had been broken through soundlessly. A stream of silver blood began to be born from within the spine itself, radiating a terrifying blood Qi energy as it flowed towards the rest of Bei Feng’s body!
“Kacha!”
As the silver blood passed through him, every part of his body that it went through—his flesh and bones, veins and muscles—would be strengthened!
With this silver blood as the base, more and more silver blood began to be produced in his body. One drop of silver blood could be refined from every hundred drops of the original blood.
Time passed slowly, and Bei Feng remained seated firmly. At the same time, a shocking aura swirled around his body, making him appear as if he was a resting tiger.
“Shua!”
Countless silver blood gushed in his body, rinsing through every inch of blood and flesh!
If one simply stood beside him, they would be able to hear the sound of blood gushing like a river in his body.
The Star Palace was already covered with countless engravings, forming a huge rune. At the same time, the Star Palace’s aura became more and more subdued as if it was just a regular building.
At this time, there were only 18 weapons left above the Star Palace. The moment those 18 weapons appeared, a heavy and domineering pressure instantly appeared in the sky!
These 18 weapons were actual existences, but the sight in the sky currently was only a projection of the actual entities, and did not even have a fraction of the original’s strength!
But even so, they could not be underestimated; even a regular Thousand Year King realm expert could be killed instantly by these 18 weapons if he was slow!
“Why is that weapon so familiar?” a cultivator mumbled as he stared upwards.
It was a black umbrella which looked exceedingly normal, except for a lively fox pattern on the umbrella cloth.
Another cultivator nodded, and said, “Now that you mention that, it does seem somewhat familiar.”
But no matter how these people thought about it, and no matter how familiar they found it to be, they could not remember where they had seen or even heard of this umbrella!
Such a situation was rather abnormal. If it was just one or two people who thought this way, then so be it. But, there were over a thousand people present, and most of them found the umbrella familiar!
At this time, the 18 weapons were radiating their auras without restraint, radiating heavy pressure everywhere.
A treasured pagoda rotated slowly in the air, only about 100 meters tall. Compared to the Star Palace, it was not worth a mention at all, but just the aura from it was something that no one would dare to underestimate.
“BOOM!”
This treasured pagoda suddenly shot down, smashing into the Star Palace and causing the latter to shake violently.
The attack of this pagoda was like a signal for the others, and the remaining weapons also shot down instantly!
“Dang, dang!”
The bells on the eight sides of the Star Palace rang lightly, and it allowed the weapons to slam down into it without putting up any resistance.
Bei Feng opened his eyes and looked up as if he could see through the thick soil above.
He could see that the Star Palace was almost on the verge of destruction as it suffered under the siege of the 18 weapons.
But, every time it was broken apart, terrifying amounts stellar energy would flood in, restoring it completely, and making it even stronger than before!
“To break through to the Thousand Year King realm, I need to build a Star Palace that belongs solely to me. An ordinary Star Palace would only have nine levels, but mine has 10 levels. I wonder if there’s anyone in the Yin-Yang School who can match the sturdiness of my foundations,” Bei Feng mumbled to himself as he focused all his mind on the formation to gather more stellar energy.
At this time, Bei Feng’s blood Qi had already finished its transformation into silver blood. However, that was still not enough. The current strength of his blood Qi energy was at most at the half-step Thousand Year King realm.
What Bei Feng was aiming for was to break through to the Thousand Year King realm in one go, so he would naturally not stop here.
Bei Feng’s foundations were deep, and his body was already at the critical point of its transformation. When his blood had all finished turning silver, he had already realized this.
The Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique continued revolving as he continued charging towards the Fourth Layer!
Every attempt would cause the bottleneck to shake heavily, but it still didn’t break!
Bei Feng’s blood had already turned completely silver now, and was exceptionally dazzling to behold. His blood Qi was like a powerful river, gushing through his veins and flowing through his entire body. Every inch of his muscles and flesh was growing stronger rapidly as the silver blood flowed through them.
My physical body is already the strongest under the Thousand Year King realm right now. Even if I’m clashing head on with a Thousand Year King realm expert with just my physical body, I will have nothing to fear. However, my limit is not just this.
Bei Feng was not satisfied. He could feel that he had not reached his limit. Normally, other cultivators who just broke through to the Thousand Year King realm would need to readjust their bodies for three or five years and use all kinds of precious spirit herbs to slowly turn their blood silver. But, Bei Feng was different; he had already reached this level without much difficulty, and this was still far from being his limit!
