Chapter 558 Violence

Spirit didn’t think that after receiving the Vitality, the extent of Zhao Xuanqi’s power boost could compare to hers. Even though he was from the Infinite Dao, and his body was fundamentally much stronger than this body of Zhuang Li’s—theoretically able to contain even more Vitality.

’But theory is just theory. From her interactions with him, she could tell that Zhao Xuanqi probably wasn’t from the Upper Realm. Instead, he likely traveled between worlds using some method left behind by the Infinite Dao. His previous cultivation level and consciousness were most likely inferior to hers, and he might have even come from a weaker world. Even if he suddenly obtained immense power, he would have great difficulty wielding it.’

’Therefore, all things considered, after absorbing the Vitality, Zhao Xuanqi would be on par with her at best. An opponent she found troublesome should be just as troublesome for him.’

’Did this guy get a bit overconfident after suddenly recovering some of his power?’

Spirit frowned and offered a warning, "Don’t be careless. He’s very strong, difficult for even a typical Innate Martial Artist to match. And his ability’s effect on Primordial Qi makes him a perfect counter for those of us in our current state."

"I was watching the fight earlier and got a handle on his abilities," Zhao Xuanqi said calmly. "You’re right. Primordial Qi techniques are ineffective unless one is significantly stronger than him. But that’s an easy problem to solve. His strength lies in the abilities of a few specific body parts, so I just won’t attack with Primordial Qi."

’Don’t use Primordial Qi attacks?’

Hearing this, Spirit was momentarily stunned, not quite understanding what Zhao Xuanqi meant.

"It’s been a while since I really got to move."

A wild smile crept onto the corner of Zhao Xuanqi’s mouth.

The next moment.

RUMBLE!! RUMBLE!!

His internal organs began to churn, undergoing a complete transformation. Their terrifying abilities fused into one, shattering their former limits.

Second Gate of the Dragon Gate: Surpassing Deng Chao—Organ Sanctification!

VMMMM!!

His aura surged, wave after wave like a rising tide. His Qi and Blood grew so immense that they began to alter his surroundings. Rings of light like auspicious clouds materialized around him, as if heralding a divine arrival.

And this was only the beginning.

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!

The terrifying power lurking within Zhao Xuanqi’s Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Acupoints began to stir. A Secret Technique forged new channels between the acupoints, creating new pathways for his Qi and Blood to flow.

The body’s normally twisted, winding pathways—once like narrow mountain trails—were transformed into broad, open avenues. His Qi, Blood, and Physical Ability roared like a surging sea, producing a beastly bellow that sounded like a dragon’s cry.

Third Gate of the Dragon Gate: Dragon Blood, Open!

With his Martial Dao breaking through to the Harmony realm and his Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Acupoints opened, Zhao Xuanqi’s Flesh Body had reached a state of perfect compliance with his will. Even without activating the First Gate of the Dragon Gate, his physical strength was now enough to fully unleash his power.

As the Secret Technique took hold, an auspicious light enveloped Zhao Xuanqi, and the roar of a Holy Beast seemed to echo from within his organs. Even without actively using any Technique, the immense pressure radiating from his terrifying Physical Ability alone was enough to be frightening.

’This is...’

Spirit’s pupils constricted. Standing beside Zhao Xuanqi, she felt the hair on her body stand on end. It was as if she wasn’t next to a person, but a terrifying behemoth that reigned over all living things—an apex predator at the top of the food chain, capable of hunting anything and everything.

’To think he could reach this level relying solely on physical power?’

Further back, the Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation, its body still undergoing Rainbow Transformation and not yet fully dissipated, was also utterly shocked to see Zhao Xuanqi’s current state.

’This level of physical strength... even my original self couldn’t compare at the same realm, could it?’

’No, wait. In all the memories I possess, there has never been a single being with such a terrifying body at this realm.’

’This guy...’

Meanwhile, Xu Jingtian and his companion had followed Gan Ming from a distance, arriving on a rooftop a kilometer away from the battlefield, where they now watched the scene unfold.

"What’s going on? Lord Wei Lie’s incarnation is with two strangers? Who are they? Did Lord Wei Lie’s incarnation just use a Secret Technique to sacrifice itself for them?!"

"That woman is incredibly strong. The power she’s unleashing is already at the Innate Level, but it’s a shame she still can’t hurt that man. His abilities are just too strange and unpredictable. This has gotten complicated."

"And what’s going on with that man?! That’s not a Primordial Qi fluctuation, and no Technique has been activated. Is that a natural phenomenon triggered simply by his body reaching a certain level of power?! Heavens, just how strong can a body get?!"

"..."

The two of them watched the entire battle unfold, conversing in low voices. The terrifying phenomenon that occurred after Zhao Xuanqi used his Secret Technique, in particular, made their eyes twitch.

This was especially true for Xu Jingtian. Even from a kilometer away, as he watched that figure and felt that terrifying presence, a faint sense of familiarity stirred within him.

’Who in the world is it?!’

"This body!!!"

At the same time, the wild smile on Gan Ming’s face vanished. His blue and red eyes were fixed on Zhao Xuanqi, now filled with an unconcealed greed.

All he had ever wanted was to use the Blood and Flesh Refining God Skill to piece together a perfect body. And now, in the man before him, he sensed the very perfection he had always craved.

’If I could take this body,’ he thought, ’use it as my foundation, and then modify it with the Blood and Flesh Refining God Skill, I could definitely break through the Innate Realm and ascend to an entirely new level!’
