Advancing to Second-Stage True Master

Could it be that Deng Yima originally intended to throw a 'Slowing Technique' projectile, but accidentally threw the wrong one and threw a 'Speed' projectile instead?

Wait a minute... If it were just a simple acceleration technique, the two guardians should have sensed something was wrong, and they would have immediately stopped the Immortal Severing Platform Battle!

But now, the two guards stood with piercing eyes, observing the two sides locked in combat without moving, showing no intention of intervening. It seemed that even they were affected by the 'acceleration' effect.

Immortal Severing Platform Xiantai

The battle between 'Chu Chu' and Ye Tang intensified.

Every second, their swords clashed more than forty times...

Unbeknownst to them, they had been engaged in fierce combat for over six minutes. However, neither of them seemed to be showing any signs of exhaustion after their outburst; it appeared as if they were simply having a normal fight.

[If it's Acceleration Formation, then it should also consume the stamina and energy of both sides in the battle,] True Lord Yellow Mountain thought to himself.

This scene is truly somewhat eerie.

True Lord Yellow Mountain pondered, stroking his chin. If he wanted to achieve the effect of the Immortal Severing Platform with magic, he would have to comprehensively and all at once enhance the 'thinking speed, reflexes, speed,' and all other abilities of the people within the spell's range! It felt almost like the effect of 'time acceleration.'

Wait, time speeds up!

No way, could a spell unleashed from an ordinary bullet involve such terrifying magic?

On the Immortal Severing Platform.

"Rolling Boulder Heavy Sword!" Ye Tang roared, his sword rolling like a boulder, crushing towards 'Chu Chu'. By now, he had used three different sword techniques, each stronger than the last!

The opponent, Chu Chu, only used a 'Flame Blade'! She flipped and turned, using such a commonplace sword technique.

What made Ye Tang feel like vomiting blood was that, despite having only one move, the Flame Blade, he simply couldn't defeat 'Chu Chu'. On the contrary... he felt that 'Chu Chu' was getting stronger and stronger with each battle.

Wasn't she severely injured and only able to fight because she unleashed her potential?

Why did he feel that Chu Chu didn't seem injured at all, and even seemed to be getting more energetic as the fight went on?

Boom!

The Rolling Boulder Heavy Sword was once again blocked by the opponent's 'Flame Blade'.

Ye Tang could only feel the energy within his opponent's body surging more and more, and the power attached to each of her attacks growing stronger and stronger. Moreover, every time 'Chu Chu' swung her sword forcefully, it seemed as if a giant whale was roaring from her body.

Is 'Chu Chu' getting stronger?

Or rather... is her strength gradually recovering?

Ye Tang gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "I'm Second-Stage True Master now, yet I can't even defeat Chu Chu, who's only at the First-Grade Dragon-Gate Leap Realm: [Damn it, if she keeps recovering, won't she keep recovering all the way back to the Second-Grade Realm? Won't I lose then?]"

Besides, those two have been fighting for almost an hour, haven't they?

[We can't delay any longer, let's finish her off in one go!]

[The final sword strike!] Ye Tang let out a long roar, and his figure suddenly leaped high into the air... With this leap, the true energy in his body was highly concentrated.

Next, he will unleash his strongest sword technique, the Mountain-Splitting Sword, which can condense and explode true energy in one go, possessing more than twice the power.

Moreover, this sword strike possesses a penetrating effect, capable of striking through mountains. Even if blocked, the true energy will still penetrate directly into the opponent's body, causing internal injuries.

Without the cultivation level of Second-Stage True Master, one cannot resist the true energy that invades the body; even the most abundant Blood Qi and qi power is useless!

This sword strike will decide the outcome!

At the same time, Ye Tang glanced at 'Chu Chu' out of the corner of his eye. How was she going to face his strongest sword strike? Even now, would she still not draw her sword?

He still hasn't drawn his sword!

Chu Chu gripped the treasured sword with both hands, and flames ignited on its blade once more... However, perhaps because her strength was gradually recovering, the flames on the sword were no longer a thin layer, but a truly raging fire—this was the true 'Flame Blade'.

However... the common 'Flame Blade' was absolutely no match for his next sword Immortal Severing Platform!

"Mountain-Splitting Sword!" Ye Tang roared, unleashing his sword technique with a grand and righteous shout.

His body carried the momentum to cleave mountains as he slashed at 'Chu Chu' with his sword.

Chu Chu showed no fear and continued to slash upwards with her sword.

When!!

The impact was heavier than any previous encounter, like the sound of a heavy temple bell being struck, its echo carrying far and wide.

"Drink!" Ye Tang unleashed his full power, taking advantage of the clash of swords to transform his true energy into sword energy and inject it into 'Chu Chu's' body. This sword energy would completely destroy Chu Chu's meridians, rendering her powerless to resist.

First-Grade Cultivator's 'Blood Qi and qi power' cannot withstand true qi!

Sure enough, when 'Chu Chu' received the 'Mountain-Splitting Sword', she froze completely.

She frowned, her hands went numb, and then, with a 'clink,' the precious sword in her hand fell to the ground...

"It's over!" Ye Tang exhaled a breath of stale air and said in a deep voice.

In the end, he was the winner!

However... just as Ye Tang breathed a sigh of relief, the 'Chu Chu' opposite him suddenly stomped hard on the ground.

The next moment, 'Chu Chu's' petite body had already darted in front of him.

Her fists slammed down on him like meteors, each punch accompanied by a whale's cry.

<Vajra Foundation Fist> Part Two: Fists Like Meteors + <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique> Giant Whale Chapter.

Chu Chu's sudden outburst.

Ye Tang was caught completely off guard and took the full force of the meteor-like punches with his own body.

Every punch landed squarely, each blow feeling like a hammer blow to the face.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh~~" Ye Tang screamed repeatedly as he was sent flying.

Upon landing, his face and body were covered in fist marks. The force of the punches penetrated his body, injuring his lungs and internal organs.

"How is this possible... How can you still move? Your meridians should have been shredded by my sword energy!" Ye Tang gritted his teeth, staring at 'Chu Chu'. Why was she unharmed?

It was clear that he had personally infused her with sword energy and true qi.

Unless...

Ye Tang's eyes widened.

On Chu Chu's body, the power of Blood Qi and qi had gradually faded... and in its place was a vast and pure 'true qi'.

She's recovered to the Second-Grade Realm?

Chu Chu looked at him with a serene smile—while she was constantly fighting Ye Tang, the seal on his body set by Senior White, the 'Qi Storage and Essence Expansion Method,' had already been quietly broken.

During the battle, he once again channeled all the Blood Qi energy from his five major acupoints into his Dantian!

The 'Embryonic Dantian' that had paused halfway through the last advancement has been expanded again by the second wave of Blood Qi power!

Ultimately, all the Blood Qi and blood transformed into a True Qi Vortex in the Dantian.
