Explosion!
The physical body, not the Divine Soul or will, will not truly disappear. This is because the speed is too fast for others to detect!
However, everyone present was a cultivator with high level of skill, possessing keen hearing, sharp eyesight, and keen senses. To move faster than their eyes could see was extremely difficult!
"Um?"
A surprised voice came from above. It was Wang Yifu who spoke. He was still some distance from the battlefield. He had come here to hand over the Earth-Listening Bowl to the Seven Sons, but he did not expect to encounter the situation before him.
From Qiu Yan's perspective, the best option would be to wait until his Divine Soul returned to its body before launching a counterattack. However, with this bowl, living beings would have nowhere to hide, and even Divine Path aura would be difficult to conceal. That's why he acted ahead of time. If he were to be late and the Daoist of the Void found him, he would completely lose the initiative.
It's like two armies fighting. If one side is surrounded and doesn't charge before the other side's troops are fully assembled, they'll be surrounded until they run out of ammunition and supplies.
Just then, Liu Tian felt a jolt of unease and instinctively stomped his foot. The air beneath his feet shattered, breaking a patch of earth, and he sank to the ground!
His sudden movement exposed the two people beside him.
The two men, wielding swords, formed a sword formation with Liu Tian, unleashing hundreds of Sword-Ray to surround Qiu Yan. However, as Liu Tian descended, the formation crumbled, leaving only streaks of Sword-Ray.
"What's going on?" The two were puzzled, but before they could figure it out, the soil several meters ahead suddenly exploded, sending rocks flying everywhere, as if an unseen Primordial World beast was charging towards them!
"Not good!"
Seeing this, the two immediately realized something was wrong. Without bothering to find out what Liu Tian meant, they hurriedly did the same thing—raising one hand and pointing forward, while making a hand seal with the other.
As the two moved, the Sword-Ray that was flying all around suddenly changed direction and surged forward in an overwhelming manner!
However, as the sword formation collapsed, the interconnected and densely packed Sword-Ray beams no longer existed. In addition, the people present were already slightly Soul Split by the laughter, so when the Sword-Ray surged past, some people had already appeared in front of the two of them!
Qiu Yan!
At this moment, Qiu Yan's limbs swelled up, tearing his clothes and revealing flesh and skin. His muscles bulged out, and you could see the veins bulging on them!
The moment it appeared, it unleashed a powerful and domineering aura!
However, the two opponents were no pushovers either. After all, they were at the peak of the Second Realm, with physical bodies identical to Qiu Yan's. So, they instinctively launched a counterattack immediately, each striking out with a palm!
Two people, two palms, alternating between feints and real attacks!
"Void-Driving Palm!"
This palm technique has a Military School- like quality, combining orthodox and unorthodox methods, making it difficult to defend against. If you think it's a feint, you can be hit by a real attack. Conversely, if you fight with all your might, you might be hit by a feint, causing you to Ascending Life the situation.
But Qiu Yan didn't even bother to make a judgment!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
His body swelled again, and his Incense Faith erupted, stimulating the jade pendant at his waist in waves. The jade pendant vibrated violently, and a surge of Qi and Blood and qi rushed out, drawn by his thoughts, merging with Qiu Yan's strength!
Click! Click! Click!
The surrounding soil was shaken apart by the condensed Qi and Blood, leaving a clearing around Qiu Yan!
Then, he raised his arms, his palms engorged with blood, and slapped them out!
Qiu Yan's two palm strikes were simple and direct, without much fancy technique, yet they were filled with a rudimentary Martial Dao Will, bursting forth with a firm and unyielding spirit! When his palms were halfway through their strikes, his fingernails grew rapidly, transforming into sharp claws, and a wolf-like howl emanated from between his fingers!
The tattered clothes could barely cover her body, revealing the crescent moon pattern on her lower abdomen!
Essence Soul Wolf Demon!
Qiu Yan's pores on both arms closed rhythmically, breathing in and out Qi and Blood, releasing the essence squeezed from his heart and merging it into his palms!
As his Qi and Blood essence was depleted, Qiu Yan's arms quickly withered.
Qi and Blood surged.
Qiu Yan's two palms were first filled with power, then swirled with a surge of Qi and Blood, and now they were infused with the essence of his heart and blood. Instantly, a dense cloud of blood condensed around his hands, vaguely forming two wolf heads. With a snap of its jaws, it lunged forward, swallowing the Void-Driving Palm that was coming from the opposite side. Then, its fangs crossed and tore apart the opponent's palm!
Minced meat and bone flew everywhere!
Before the two Void-Driving Dao could even scream, they each lost an arm. Then, the wolf's head struck them, causing the powerful Blood Qi to erupt from their bodies, resulting in crackling sounds from within them.
Their expressions instantly contorted. The intense pain, combined with the Martial Dao Will mixed in with their Qi and Blood, shook their minds, causing them to lose control over their flesh and blood!
Seizing the opportunity, Qiu Yan's eyes flashed with a cold light. He changed his hands from clapping to spinning, and the Qi and Blood around his hands dispersed. The wolf's head turned into a blood cloud. As his hands spun and stirred, they formed a vortex of Qi and Blood, pulling the two people into it!
He shattered both of their arms with a single blow, then sucked them into his vortex of Qi and Blood. Qiu Yan's arms also became withered and emaciated due to the excessive consumption of Qi and Blood.
"The principles of Heavenly Principle are perfectly natural, and Human Desires are in harmony with them."
Then, he murmured something, and patterns appeared on the top of his head. The Heaven-Rushing Soul roamed and vibrated in his flesh and blood, and the acupoints opened wherever it passed. While absorbing and exhaling Spiritual Qi, it also began to reclaim the Qi and Blood and Qi and Blood!
Within this Qi and Blood lies Qiu Yan's Martial Dao Will. Born from the same source, it responds to his thoughts. Subsequently, his withered arms began to fill with energy again, and his muscles and bones trembled.
The two people who were sucked into the vortex of Qi and Blood finally screamed and struggled to get out, but they were twisted by an unimaginable force - this force came from the jade pendant, which was a huge force that burst out after the Demon Core of the Tongshan Demon King was refined!
Under the influence of this force, the two men's limbs were broken and their torsos were shattered. In the blink of an eye, they were twisted and squeezed into human balls. Qi and Blood, like needles, pierced into their flesh and blood, causing them excruciating pain as if they were being skinned and their bones were being removed!
But the physical pain was secondary. As the external Qi and Blood pierced in, the two were affected by Qiu Yan's Heaven-Rushing Soul. The blood Qi and Blood in their flesh and blood surged and poured out like a mountain torrent. Instead of being absorbed by Qiu Yan, they were integrated into the Qi and Blood vortex itself!
Qiu Yan has now reached the Soul Tempering Peak, just one step away from advancing to the next level. At this moment, rashly absorbing the Qi and Blood of others would only make his own Life Cultivation impure and would do more harm than good!
These two people look young, only in their twenties, but that's because Life Cultivation to a high degree, and their flesh and blood are full of vitality. They can resist aging and maintain their youth. Their actual age is not young at all. The feeling of having decades of hard work dissipate in one day is undoubtedly a kind of mental torment!
That vortex of Qi and Blood, originally condensed with Qiu Yan's strength and Qi and Blood, and fueled by the Qi and Blood surge emanating from the jade pendant, was now replenished with the Qi and Blood that the two of them had honed over decades, and immediately surged forth! It swept outwards!
The force generated was so great that Qiu Yan's hands trembled. He felt as if he was about to lose control, but before he could calm the trembling in his flesh, a furious voice came from above—
"Useless! With so many people around, he still managed to break through! And even injure someone!"
That was Wang Yifu's voice, accompanied by a sharp, piercing sound that sent a chill down Qiu Yan's spine.
At the same time, the soil beneath Qiu Yan's feet suddenly churned, and streaks of Sword-Ray burst forth, instantly piercing through his feet and slashing his legs, leaving bloody gashes that flowed continuously!
For Life Cultivation, every drop of blood contains a bit of internal energy, which is the foundation of their cultivation.
The Sword-Ray arrived incredibly fast, threatening to engulf Qiu Yan entirely. However, he did not panic in the face of the sudden attack. Instead, he focused his Martial Dao Will with the flowing blood, drawing it back in. Then, he activated his Power Soul, causing patterns to appear on his chest and air to surge from his pores, transforming into a Black Wind that swirled around him, with the faint silhouette of Crow visible within.
The Crow Power Soul!
A gust of Black Wind swept through, and the vortex of Qi and Blood that was spinning with Qiu Yan's hands was also incorporated into it.
Crash! Crash! Crash!
As soon as the rich Qi and Blood was added, a layer of black and red wind barrier was formed around Qiu Yan, blocking the Sword-Ray and blasting it away.
Zzzzz!
The point where the Sword-Ray collided with the black and red wind barrier sparked a series of sparks!
Immediately afterwards, Qiu Yan reached out and grabbed a human-shaped ball from the vortex of Qi and Blood, then slammed it down!
Boom!
With that impact, the entire ball sank into the mud, sinking deeper and deeper!
Liu Tian, who was hiding in the soil and controlling the Sword-Ray, suddenly changed his expression. He had sunk into the soil, and after only a few breaths, when he released his senses again, he found that his two junior brothers had been twisted into human balls by Qiu Yan. He immediately launched an attack, but Qiu Yan used the wind to block the sword and smashed another human ball down!
After the ball landed, Qiu Yan didn't even look back. He was lifted up by the wind surrounding him and flew straight towards Wang Yifu!
"Oh? You choose the path to hell when there's a way to heaven!" Wang Yifu had already reached the battlefield. Seeing this, he was not surprised but delighted. He flicked his wrist, his longsword trembled, and the Martial Dao Will imbued within the sword erupted.
As soon as Wang Yifu's Martial Dao Will was attached to the sword, the sword immediately trembled and emitted a strange aura, actually connecting with Wang Yifu's Fleshly Body, giving people a feeling of man and sword becoming one.
Then, he opened his mouth and exhaled a spark of flame, which merged into the blade!
Kidney Fire!
Once a cultivator enters the third realm of life cultivation, they can cultivate kidney fire and condense martial will. This martial will is not like Qiu Yan's, which was formed by chance. Instead, it is formed through long-term tempering, derived from fist intent, and contains immense willpower. It can mobilize various external forces and is comparable to sexual cultivation techniques!
With this Kidney Fire aligning with his Martial Dao Will, Wang Yifu flicked the tip of his longsword, unleashing a Sword-Ray!
Instead of flying out, the Sword-Ray extended all the way towards Qiu Yan!
From a distance, it looks like a long sword that has been extended.
The sword blade was sharp, propelling the airflow like a knife. Qiu Yan caught a Soul Shadow and made a guess, but he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he swung his arm and threw the other human-shaped ball out!
Puff!
The Sword-Ray pierced the human-shaped sphere, rubbing against its bones with a clang, before piercing through it. However, the sphere's momentum was too strong to stop, and it continued to approach Wang Yifu.
Seeing this, Wang Yifu sneered and was about to make a move, but a sudden warning struck him. Before he could react, Qiu Yan, who was rapidly traversing through the mud and gravel, abruptly stopped and uttered a single word—
"Burst!"
Boom!
Deafening explosions rang out simultaneously from above and below!
