Chapter 622: Chapter 298: Commanding the Thunder, Ninth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm!
“Senior Brother Jin, rest assured, Luo Cheng is certain to die this time!”
Besides Zhou Yunqing, the other two disciples among the top ten of the Xuanhe List were all staring at the Purple Jade Box with burning eyes.
Each of them was plotting in their hearts how to kill Luo Cheng and seize the Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pill before others could.
As for Zhou Yunqing, she too greatly desired this rare elixir.
However, she was cautious by nature and did not have full confidence in surpassing Luo Cheng.
Her strength was a step behind Liu Kang and the others, so even if she wanted to compete, she had no chance.
“Very well! I await your good news!”
Jin Min’s face showed a satisfied smile as he stood up.
Previously, his hatred for Luo Cheng was largely due to Yun Mengli.
Now that Yun Mengli was dead, and he was about to be promoted to the Four Extremes Secret Realm to become a great power, he lost interest in such a small figure as Luo Cheng and only wanted him eliminated as soon as possible.
If he had the time, Jin Min would not mind taking care of Luo Cheng personally, to let the latter taste the consequences of offending him.
Unfortunately, he had urgent matters to attend to and had to leave.
As he reached the tent door, Jin Min stopped once more: “Remember, don’t let him die too easily.”
Liu Kang narrowed his eyes slightly, his face full of malice, and said:
“Rest assured, Senior Brother, if he falls into my hands, I’ll let him know what it means to be better off dead.”
“Hmm, that’s good.”
Jin Min wasn’t worried about any accidents.
Apart from Liu Kang, who ranked seventh on the Xuanhe List, the other two list disciples Lin Qichen and Wu Taiyue were ranked fourth and sixth, respectively, enough to kill Luo Cheng.
Even if by any chance something unexpected happened, they could offer the Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pill to Pang Yueyang for his assistance.
Pang Yueyang had one foot in the Four Extremes Secret Realm and was a rare adversary within the entire Three Sects’ inner sect. Luo Cheng wouldn’t stand a chance against Pang Yueyang, even if he had ten lives.
Leaving with those words, Jin Min turned and walked out.
Liu Kang took one last look at the Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pill and also left the tent.
He needed to make thorough arrangements.
As soon as Luo Cheng reached the Black Cloud Mountain Range, they would know immediately!
The others also left one after another.
Finally, only Zhou Yunqing was left in the tent.
Frowning slightly as she looked at the Purple Jade Box in her hand.
Jin Min’s words hadn’t eliminated her doubts.
This was a priceless bounty!
The Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pill, a precious elixir any Awakening Vein Realm experts would dream of, was also extremely valuable to Earth Level great powers.
Many Awakening Vein Realm experts cultivated bitterly, hoping to break through over many years, only to fail after a hundred years of effort and die with regrets.
If these people had a Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pill, the outcome might be entirely different.
Such a rare elixir, and Jin Min handed it out so easily, was truly astonishing and lamentable!
It seemed Jin Min was determined to take Luo Cheng’s life!
Zhou Yunqing couldn’t help but feel it was a pity since she knew that given such a valuable bounty, Luo Cheng was likely not to return this time.
Awakening a Wasted Martial Soul, enduring countless hardships to become one of the top ten seed disciples, only to die because he offended the wrong person, his path ending suddenly…
Thunder Peak.
Three days had passed since the discovery of a Blood Nether Sect stronghold.
Rumbling!
Several days passed, the thunder in the valley not diminishing in the slightest; instead, it grew stronger. The violent lightning continued whipping like a whip, striking Luo Cheng repeatedly.
Centered around Luo Cheng, the entire valley had become a massive thunderball, dazzlingly bright.
At the thunderball’s center, Luo Cheng’s skin had already turned pitch black, like a magnetic stone on the ground!
Yet, he remained motionless, with a serene expression, like a baby, breathing deeper and longer, seemingly beyond any physical pain, immersed in a mystical realm.
Rumble!
Another bolt of lightning, as thick as an arm, struck Luo Cheng.
Suddenly.
Crack!
A faint sound was heard, followed by Luo Cheng’s charred skin starting to crack and crumble, spreading across his entire body.
Finally, with a snap, his charred skin crumbled inch by inch and scattered with the wind, revealing skin beneath as if newly born, glowing as if crafted from jade.
Crack!
Another bolt of thunder struck, landing on the new skin, yet it left no marks, silently permeating inside. Suddenly, a cold, electric sheen surfaced on the skin!
At this moment, Luo Cheng abruptly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp like lightning, and he threw a punch into the void.
Rumble!
The punch erupted with blinding lightning brilliance, the tremendous power causing the air to ripple like water, collapsing layer by layer, filled with countless crackling electric threads.
“It’s done!”
Luo Cheng’s eyes brightened, his voice brimming with joy.
After days of reckless, thunder-imbued cultivation, he finally reached the realm of radiant skin and fist power infused with thunder.
This signified he had cultivated the First Layer of the Thunder Concealment Three Heavens’ ’Refining Thunder Heaven’ to the entry level!
Though it’s just the First Layer, its significance is immense.
Luo Cheng could clearly feel faint threads of lightning energy winding through his skin, immensely increasing its resilience, greatly enhancing his physique and explosive power!
With that recent punch, he didn’t channel any essence energy, nor did he use any martial arts techniques, yet the power was at least thirty percent greater than before!
At this moment, Luo Cheng fully understood the meaning of Fulei.
Fulei!
Fulei!
To subdue thunder for one’s own use with the physical body!
Luo Cheng could now only hide a strand of lightning within his skin, refining his body and strengthening it. If he mastered the Thunder Concealment Three Heavens to the Third Layer’s Great Perfection, with a mere gesture, he could even capture thunder with one hand, achieving true mastery of Thunder Power!
“Oh! Ninth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm!”
Calming down, Luo Cheng was surprised to find seventy-three Xuan Veins within him. Unbeknownst to him, his cultivation had broken through the bottleneck, stepping into the Ninth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm!
“Could it be the transformation of my physique from practicing the Thunder Concealment Three Heavens?”
Luo Cheng thought of a possibility.
Body Refining experts stimulate potential by tempering the physical body, awakening Xuan Veins!
Cultivating essence energy modifies the body, while Body Refinement also strengthens the original physique. The two are inherently inseparable and complement each other!
Even great power-level experts, though not Body Refinement experts, have physical body strength surpassing ordinary Awakening Vein Realm experts!
No matter the reasoning, the breakthrough in both Thunder Concealment Three Heavens and cultivation was undoubtedly a great blessing for Luo Cheng.
According to his original plan, after mastering the Thunder Concealment Three Heavens, he intended to consume the Lesser Mixed Yuan Pill to impact the Ninth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm. Now, that’s no longer necessary, saving him considerable effort.
“Now, within the Three Sects’ Inner Sect, perhaps only Yun Tianyan of the Fierce Cloud Sect is qualified to battle me!”
Luo Cheng’s eyes sparkled with determination and confidence.
At Luoxia Sect, Yu Lanxin once mentioned that within the Three Sects’ Inner Sect, only four people were qualified to duel with him!
Aside from Yu Lanxin, the other three were the head inner sect senior brother of the Xuanyuan Sect, the Fierce Cloud Sect’s Master Yun Tianyan, and Xuanyuan Sect’s second disciple Liu Jue!
Now that his cultivation had reached new heights, he probably only had to fear Yun Tianyan of the Fierce Cloud Sect.
As for who would prevail, only a true battle would tell.
Shaking his head, he remembered the five bell tolls he heard three days ago.
“Five bell tolls, that’s the sect’s call to arms, something big must have happened!”
