Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Flesh Rebirth, People from the Fierce Cloud Sect!
"Luo Cheng, now is not the time for jokes. This matter is a matter of life and death! If it’s truly impossible, you can turn to Senior Sister Yun Mengli for help. Let her intervene and calm things down..."
Yuan Zhilan thought Luo Cheng was joking about being able to ascend to the Tongxuan Realm at any moment and didn’t take him seriously.
Luo Cheng did not argue and simply nodded.
"Rest assured! I know what I’m doing."
A span of half a month was sufficient for him to break through to the Tongxuan Realm.
There was no need for further explanations at this moment.
After chatting for a while longer, Yuan Zhilan and her companion got up to bid farewell.
Once he saw them off, Luo Cheng immediately shut the courtyard gate and headed to the Practice Field.
"First, the Golden Body Realm!"
Taking a deep breath, Luo Cheng sat cross-legged and retrieved a porcelain bottle from his robes.
Inside it was the Four-star Spirit Pill, the ’Awakening God Pill,’ gifted by Yun Mengli. It could replenish a martial artist’s Essence Qi and spirit, enhancing comprehension!
Breaking through to the Golden Body Realm was no trivial matter, and Luo Cheng lacked absolute confidence.
He needed to elevate his state to its peak!
Taking out an Awakening God Pill, Luo Cheng swallowed it in one gulp.
Instantly, a refreshing sensation flowed down his throat, spreading to every corner of his being, making him feel utterly invigorated, his mind completely clear.
"Let’s begin!"
After consuming the Awakening God Pill, Luo Cheng immediately focused his thoughts and began refining the surging Essence Qi within him.
Boom!
The Essence Qi of two Half-Step Tongxuan martial artists, combined with more than twenty Transcendence Realm martial artists—how terrifying was this quantity!
As soon as it broke free of Luo Cheng’s constraints, this immense Essence Qi surged through his limbs and bones like a flood bursting its banks, empowering his skeleton and flesh.
At the same time, the Dragon Energy within the Essence Energy Vortex was greedily devouring the Essence Qi.
As time passed, the previously illusory dragon scales on the Dragon Energy gradually took on a substantive appearance, faintly glimmering with nine-colored starlight.
Finally.
Roar!
A resounding dragon roar echoed throughout Luo Cheng’s Dantian, shaking the Essence Energy Vortex into tumultuous waves!
At this moment, the Dragon Energy swirling within the Essence Energy Vortex was covered in intricate scales, the stars shining around it, vivid and lifelike. Its horned head exuded a dominating aura, faintly carrying the divine majesty of an Ancient True Dragon!
The sixth level of the True Dragon Technique!
It’s done!
At this moment, Luo Cheng’s strength began to climb without end.
99,100 pounds!
99,200 pounds!
99,300 pounds...
But as his strength increased to 99,400 pounds, the rate of improvement suddenly slowed down significantly.
"As expected, it’s not enough!"
Luo Cheng realized that relying solely on the True Dragon Technique for this breakthrough was far from enough to reach the strength of 100,000 pounds and step into the Golden Body Realm.
Fortunately, he had prepared for this.
"It’s time to break through!"
Exhaling a mouthful of stale air, Luo Cheng took out a Four-star Spiritual Medicine, the Bright Essence Pill, and swallowed it, no longer holding back his realm.
Boom!
A barely audible thunderclap erupted within Luo Cheng’s body. The resultant energy ripple sent the surrounding stones on the Practice Field flying.
With Luo Cheng’s full-force breakthrough, his cultivation instantly leapt to the Sixth Layer of the Transcendence Realm! And it continued to climb unimpeded!
Sixth Layer Early Stage of the Transcendence Realm!
Sixth Layer Middle Stage of the Transcendence Realm!
Sixth Layer Late Stage of the Transcendence Realm!
In the blink of an eye, Luo Cheng’s cultivation reached the Peak of the Sixth Layer of the Transcendence Realm!
Simultaneously.
Luo Cheng’s strength also surged quickly!
From 99,400 pounds, it rose to 99,900 pounds! 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Only 100 pounds away!
Just 100 more pounds, and he could shatter the physical limits of the Transcendence Realm and reach the ultimate strength of 100,000 pounds, achieving the Transcendence Golden Body that countless prodigies dreamed of!
But at that very moment, a sudden change occurred.
Crack!
From within Luo Cheng’s body came a sound like countless fractures.
His once strong and robust young physique began to wither rapidly, his skin dull and lifeless like weathered stone, his entire being looking like an old man on his deathbed!
At the same time, an intense hunger arose from within Luo Cheng, his entire body—blood, flesh, bones, and every cell—seemed to moan in protest!
"This is... the process of Blood and Flesh Rebirth!"
Luo Cheng’s heart shook with a mix of shock and joy.
His master, Chen Xuan, had mentioned when discussing the Golden Body Realm that the most critical step was Blood and Flesh Rebirth!
Upon reaching this stage, a martial artist’s body would break through its limits, collapsing into annihilation before regrowing bones and flesh, completing the metamorphosis from cocoon to butterfly!
However, this process was excruciatingly painful, requiring not only formidable willpower but also an immense reserve of Essence Qi!
Should he falter, all his prior efforts would be wasted!
"Success or failure hinges on this moment!!"
Not daring to hesitate, Luo Cheng took out the high-quality Spiritual Elixirs he carried, placing them in front of him and swallowing them by the handful.
Boom!
The elixirs entered his stomach, unleashing an eruption of boundless Essence Qi that rampaged through Luo Cheng’s body like a volcanic explosion!
Crackling!
The surface of Luo Cheng’s withered and dry body immediately split with countless distinct cracks.
From these millions of fissures, countless blood-colored gases emanated, curling like silken ribbons.
In this moment, Luo Cheng felt every inch of his blood, flesh, and bones being torn apart! The endless agony threatened to engulf him!
"By mastering the Golden Body Realm, I will lay the foundation for Supreme Martial Arts and become unstoppable!!!"
"Ji Family! Ji Yuanhao! Sun Yingyang... You all deserve to die! Die! DIE!!!"
Clenching his teeth tightly, Luo Cheng harnessed his hatred to summon every ounce of his willpower, enduring the pain of his Blood and Flesh Rebirth while fully activating the All Heavens Dragon Control Technique!
If anyone were present at this moment, they would have been shocked.
As Luo Cheng cultivated, the myriad blood-colored gases surrounding his body gradually transformed into dragon shapes!
Countless blood-colored Dragon Energies coursed through Luo Cheng’s body, accompanied by a series of mysterious and powerful dragon roars.
Each note seemed to echo from primordial times, singing of unknown mysteries and secrets!
Hum!
Luo Cheng’s Martial Soul spontaneously emerged, slowly swirling in place, radiating nine-colored rays of light that resonated with the dragon roars in a profound and enigmatic harmony!
As time passed, the illusory dragon roars grew faint, and the blood energy gradually receded into Luo Cheng’s body.
Luo Cheng, seated cross-legged in the Practice Field, his emaciated body frozen as though turned to stone, his heartbeat seemed to cease, like a lifeless statue.
Yet, faint golden radiance shimmered intermittently across his pores, flickering in and out of existence...
As Luo Cheng fully concentrated on breaking into the Golden Body Realm—
Above the clouds a hundred miles from the Xuanyuan Sect, a streak of fiery light suddenly shot across the sky, incinerating the clouds into nothingness.
The fiery light came from a massive firebird—none other than the Fiery Fire Bird of the Fierce Cloud Sect!
At this moment, atop the wide back of the Fiery Fire Bird stood several silhouettes.
Leading them was a middle-aged man in a Purple Gold Robe. His sharp features exuded a predatory vibe, and his piercing gaze was as keen as an eagle’s. He was none other than Sun Yingyang, an elder of the Fierce Cloud Sect.
Beside him stood a youth in white robe, armed with a sword at his waist. This was Sun Yingyang’s second son, Sun Chuanwu.
Sun Chuanwu said:
"Father, he’s merely a waste who awakened a Wasted Martial Soul. There’s no need for you to personally act."
Sun Yingyang looked in the Xuanyuan Sect’s direction, a grim shadow flashing in his eyes:
"Certain parties do not want anyone from the Luo Family stepping out of the Yunlan Domain Group, especially Luo Hong and his son. This matter must not encounter any mishaps!"
After speaking, Sun Yingyang turned to the several Fierce Cloud Sect disciples behind him and said:
"Listen well. When you encounter Luo Cheng, spare no effort to cripple him. Do not hold back! I will bear all the consequences!"
"Rest assured, Elder! We will avenge Junior Brother Wu Ming and uphold the reputation of the Fierce Cloud Sect!"
The disciples responded in unison, voices full of determination.
Among them were Jiang Xinglie, whom Luo Cheng had previously met, and the graceful Xu Ling.
"Good! Go!"
Sun Yingyang nodded in satisfaction and issued the command.
Screech!
The Fire Bird let out a piercing cry, diving downward and appearing instantly over the Xuanyuan Sect’s mountain gate.
