Just as Golden Wave Divine Monarch had predicted, the Strange Gates Grand Formation changed on schedule.
Qin Fengming halted, feeling the terrifying, invisible force squeezing and kneading his body from within. Though he grimaced and endured the searing pain, this ravaging force had yet to reach the limits of his flesh.
The cliff face tested only his physical body, and it was not enough to make Qin Fengming activate the Treasure Refining Ghost Refinement Art at full power. Reassured, he endured the agony within and continued climbing the precipitous cliff.
The force ravaging his flesh here had already exceeded what ordinary Golden Immortals could withstand. Even the mightiest Golden Immortals, assuming they could endure this terrifying force tearing through their bodies, could not have leaped along the sheer cliff as Qin Fengming did while enduring its assault.
Unfortunately, there were no spectators here. Otherwise, even Ancestor Yuan Qing would have stared with his eyes wide open.
After a harrowing but ultimately safe climb, Qin Fengming finally leaped onto the summit.
The instant he stood atop the peak, an invisible wind blade slashed into him without warning. There was no dodging it. A gash immediately opened in Qin Fengming's body, flesh curling outward as blood sprayed. A mass of energy manifested, and the blood burned, turning into a bloody glow.
"Just as you said, Senior, this is another kind of test of the flesh."
Qin Fengming showed no unusual reaction. The uncanny wind blade cut into his flesh and left a wound, yet it was as though the body did not belong to him. He neither cried out nor even furrowed his brow.
The wind blade was sharp and powerful, but it had only wounded his flesh, leaving his bones untouched.
Even so, this alone would have driven other Immortal Realm
