Fleshly Body Divine Abilities

"You must keep a close eye on the surroundings. If any Purple Mansion or Nascent Soul Cultivator approaches, alert me immediately."

Chen Xuan spoke to the Cloud Sea Heaven-Observing Technique in his heart.

Although he was confident he could clash with a Purple Mansion cultivator, that said, if he could avoid it, he would prefer not to.

When he could bully the small fry in the Dao Foundation Realm and Spirit Sea Realm, why would he want to go and clash with a Purple Mansion expert?

[Host, a Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Cloud Sea Sect has already arrived.]

Chen Xuan was slightly stunned.

The sect is this fast?

It seems the Flying Sword Sect's leader notified the main sect very quickly once the Feng Family attacked.

Well, that's that then. With a Nascent Soul Cultivator from the sect here, what is there to be afraid of?

As an outstanding disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect, he couldn't just slack off; he had to put on a show of giving it his all.

At the gates of the Flying Sword Sect.

Everywhere, Flying Sword Sect disciples and Feng Family members were locked in a bloody struggle.

Chen Xuan descended from the sky. Dragon patterns erupted across his body, and a tyrannical force of blood energy radiated from him as the center, with a faint dragon's might manifesting.

Without the slightest hesitation, he charged directly into the most intense part of the battle, where several Flying Sword Sect disciples were being besieged by a group of Feng Family cultivators. The disciples were losing ground, their lives hanging by a thread.

Chen Xuan moved like lightning. With the azure dragon patterns on his arms glowing, he threw a punch. The surging blood energy transformed into a solid fist aura, shattering the magical artifact and protective spiritual light of a Feng Family Spirit Sea Realm cultivator in one blow. The man let out a miserable scream and flew backward, his life or death unknown.

Immediately after, he shifted his stance, unleashing Flowing Cloud Moon-Chasing. He wove through the crowd like a ghost, every strike accompanied by the flickering of dragon patterns and the rout of the Feng Family cultivators.

Punch after punch—every hit was a basic attack, yet every hit was a critical strike.

Though the strikes were simple, they displayed the terrifying physical strength brought by the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art to the fullest. Ordinary Spirit Sea Realm cultivators were like paper before him, and even the Feng Family's Dao Foundation Realm cultivators felt their blood churn and were forced to retreat after taking a single punch head-on.

The Flying Sword Sect disciples he had saved were still in shock, staring at this stranger who had appeared out of nowhere like a humanoid beast, their eyes filled with astonishment and gratitude.

"So... so strong!"

"Which senior brother is this? His physical strength is actually this terrifying!"

"Are you blind? Look at his robes—he's a senior brother from the main sect!"

"Amazing, is this the strength of a main sect disciple?"

Exclamations rang out among the Flying Sword Sect disciples.

Not far away, Wu Xun, who was entangled with a Feng Family Dao Foundation cultivator, caught a glimpse of the commotion on Chen Xuan's side out of the corner of his eye and was also startled.

He had originally thought Chen Xuan was just an ordinary Dao Foundation cultivator who had only recently reached Foundation Establishment; he hadn't expected him to be a body-refining expert who had cultivated the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art to such a realm.

The power in his gestures that could collapse mountains and split rocks, along with the nearly three hundred dragon patterns clearly visible across his body, all testified to Chen Xuan's profound attainments in the path of body refining.

Lu Yu and the other Cloud Sea Sect disciples who had come along were also deeply surprised.

The Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art had quite a reputation within the Cloud Sea Sect.

"Kill him first!"

The Feng Family Dao Foundation cultivator spotted Chen Xuan and roared with murderous intent.

Damn it, this guy has absolutely no sense of martial ethics.

The Flying Sword Sect's Dao Foundation cultivators and Wu Xun's group were all fighting against other Feng Family Dao Foundation cultivators.

Chen Xuan was different; he gave every Qi Gathering cultivator he saw a punch.

These are Qi Gathering cultivators.

Can they withstand a punch from him?

The poor Feng Family members in the Qi Gathering Realm were directly beaten into blood mists by Chen Xuan's punches, leaving not even a corpse behind.

Several Dao Foundation Realm cultivators charged straight at Chen Xuan.

"Come!"

Chen Xuan was not afraid in the slightest. He might worry about a Purple Mansion cultivator, but why would he fear a Dao Foundation one?

As a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect, Chen Xuan would certainly not go soft on these invaders.

The several Feng Family Dao Foundation cultivators attacked Chen Xuan. Seeing his formidable physical body, they did not close in easily. Instead, keeping their distance, they simultaneously unleashed Dao techniques. Various Dao arts, magical artifacts, and treasures whistled toward Chen Xuan, their momentum terrifying.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan did not dodge or evade. The three hundred azure dragon patterns on his body shone brilliantly, and his blood energy surged like a tide, forming an invisible protective aura.

Azure Dragon Shield!

Those incoming attacks, whether spells or treasures, were shattered and deflected by the tyrannical blood energy and protective aura the moment they came within a yard of Chen Xuan, unable to harm him in the slightest.

This was the formidable defense brought by the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art.

Seeing that long-range attacks were ineffective, the leader, a mid-stage Dao Foundation Feng Family cultivator, narrowed his eyes and barked, "Form up!"

The group immediately shifted positions, faintly forming a pincer movement, their magical treasures glowing even brighter as they prepared to launch their strongest attack in unison.

Chen Xuan's expression remained calm. He moved, unleashing Flowing Cloud Moon-Chasing, leaving an afterimage behind as his true self cut into the middle of the Feng Family cultivators like a ghost.

Azure Dragon Palm!

This palm technique, along with the Azure Dragon Shield, were both divine abilities that came paired with the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art.

The Dragon Pattern Scroll of the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art contained three great divine abilities: the Azure Dragon Shield, the Azure Dragon Palm, and the Azure Dragon Finger.

There was no distinction of superiority between divine abilities and Dao techniques.

If one had to point out a difference, it was that divine abilities often did not require deliberate study; in fact, trying to learn them deliberately would only lead to failure. They could only be mastered naturally through various methods.

As Chen Xuan's cultivation of the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art deepened, these three physical divine abilities were mastered naturally.

The Heaven-Observing Divine Eye could also be considered as such.

Returning to the matter at hand.

On Chen Xuan's right palm, the azure dragon patterns that had originally covered his arm suddenly converged toward his palm, condensing into a lifelike phantom of an azure dragon that coiled around his hand and arm.

He struck out with his palm; there were no flashy techniques, only pure, extreme physical strength and surging blood energy. As the palm wind whistled, the faint sound of a dragon's roar accompanied it, and the air was compressed until it emitted explosive cracks.

The Feng Family Dao Foundation cultivator bearing the brunt of the attack was greatly alarmed and hurriedly raised a black shield magic treasure in his hand to block.

"Boom!"

The Azure Dragon Palm imprint slammed solidly against the shield.

With a crisp crack, that low-grade defensive magic treasure shield, which was of decent quality, was actually shattered by the strike. The violent force transmitted through the shield and into the cultivator's body.

He immediately spat out blood, the webbing between his thumb and forefinger split open, and he was sent flying backward as if struck by a giant hammer, crashing through several massive trees before collapsing to the ground, unable to rise.

Seeing this, the others were both shocked and furious, roaring as they activated their magic treasures to attack Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan's figure moved like a dragon; Flowing Cloud Moon-Chasing, combined with his formidable physical body, allowed him to weave freely through their encirclement.

He struck out with both palms, the Azure Dragon Palm landing in rapid succession. Each strike was heavy and powerful, fierce and peerless.

"Bang!"

Another man was grazed on the shoulder by the palm force; his shoulder bone shattered, and he fell while screaming in agony.

"Crack!"

A flying sword that struck at him was hit on its blade by Chen Xuan's palm. Its spiritual light dimmed, and it wailed as it flew back, causing its owner to turn pale from the backlash.

In just a few breaths, these Feng Family Dao Foundation cultivators who had surrounded Chen Xuan were routed, either dead or injured, having completely lost their combat effectiveness.

Chen Xuan withdrew his palms and stood still, the dragon patterns on his body slowly fading away. His breathing was steady, as if the fierce battle just now had not consumed much of his strength.

The terrifying combat power he displayed left Wu Xun and the others, who were watching from not far away, even more shaken.

"Are you sure you just reached Foundation Establishment?"
