[Life Master: Jiang Yi] [Cultivation: Blood Qi Realm Seventh Layer] [Physique: None] [Cultivation Scripture: Nameless Scripture (Incomplete)...<Nine Cauldrons Returning Origin Art (Seventh · Early Stage)>, Glass Diamond Body] [Lifespan: 853]
"Consume eight hundred and fifty years of lifespan to deduce the martial art—Nine Cauldrons Returning Origin Art."
[Year 1, you began cultivating the Nine Cauldrons Returning Origin Art.]
[Year 220, you broke through to the Blood Qi Realm Eighth Layer.]
[Year 470, you stepped into the Blood Qi Realm Ninth Layer.]
[Year 760, you stepped into the Ninth Heaven Peak, only a single step away from the next realm.]
[That same year, you attempted the return of the Nine Cauldrons, gathering the Nine Cauldrons' origin power to nourish one of the five viscera.]
[According to the art's characteristics, you chose the Earth Spleen Treasury.]
[Year 810, you gathered the Nine Cauldrons' origin power and began charging toward the next Great Realm.]
[Year 850, after forty years, you finally completely opened the Earth Spleen Treasury.]
[Your cultivation surged into the Opening Treasury First Level.]
"Boom!!!"
Jiang Yi felt as though his entire body had caught fire!
The qi and blood within him boiled and churned, flooding every inch of flesh, bone, and sinew.
His physique strengthened, his bones and tendons tempered.
His cultivation began rising rapidly, climbing continuously from the Blood Qi Realm Seventh Layer all the way to the Ninth Heaven Peak.
Above his head, his blood qi surged like a spring, rolling back upon itself as it slowly condensed into a furnace!
Around the furnace!
Wisps of flame rose and coiled, blazing hot enough to warp the air.
The next instant!
"Dong!"
A muffled boom rang out from Jiang Yi's body, like the thunderous beating of drums and the ancient chime of bells and cauldrons.
The Ninth Heaven Peak broke through at last, and he stepped into a brand-new Great Realm!
The furnace above his head descended, and his blood qi sank into his body!
The Earth Spleen Treasury trembled!
Vast cauldron-origin qi and blood rumbled through him, sweeping across his limbs and bones, cleansing his sinews, bones, and meridians.
His flesh and physique continued to grow stronger!
His strength skyrocketed, reaching the force of ten thousand jun!
The Earth Spleen Treasury transformed the qi and blood of the entire body, strengthening flesh, bones, and sinews!
It united qi and strength as one, commanding all directions!
Still, he stood like a towering mountain; in motion, he could smash mountains and sever peaks!
Jiang Yi rose to his feet, his bones and sinews shuddering!
With every gesture, his blood qi roiled freely, while his strength rumbled and gathered into one.
The feeling was wondrous!
It was as though he had cast off shackles and released the potential he had possessed since birth.
He felt an indescribable freedom!
"Opening Treasury First Level!
With my current strength, I no longer need fear any faction in Rock Mountain City!
It's just a pity that I have little lifespan left!
Otherwise!
I could have cultivated the Glass Diamond Body as well.
Then, I should be able to open another hidden treasury!"
"Hm?!"
Jiang Yi seemed to sense something and abruptly raised his head!
"They came... rather quickly!"
The torrential rain still poured from the heavens!
A heavy mist hung over the mountain forest!
Beneath the lush thickets, pairs of green eyes had lit up at some unknown time.
They belonged to gray wolves!
They crouched low, staring fixedly at the stone cave where Jiang Yi was.
From time to time, they let out low growls!
Along with the appearance of these beasts, six astonishing auras gradually emerged.
They radiated a terrifying ferocity as they drew ever closer.
They had practically arrived together!
"Kid, so you were hiding here!"
"You killed our people, yet you didn't run?"
"You even dared to shelter from the rain here. You've got some nerve!"
"Enough nonsense!"
"Kill him and bring his corpse back!"
Six figures surrounded him at once!
Each of them revealed the brutal aura of the Ninth level of Qi and Blood.
They locked Wang Yi firmly in place, crushing down upon him with their aura!
The strongest among them!
Even faintly surpassed the Ninth Heaven Peak, as though he had already begun nurturing one of the five viscera.
He had reached the Half-step Opening Treasury Realm!
"None at the Opening Treasury Realm?"
Jiang Yi showed a trace of regret. Still, something was better than nothing.
It was clear!
For the Hundred Beasts Sect to dispatch these six men, they had clearly paid a steep price!
But every last one of them would have to stay behind!
Jiang Yi took a step forward!
Not only was he unaffected by their suppression, the instant his own aura emerged!
The expressions of all six men changed drastically!
Their own auras were forced back, and they staggered several steps backward together.
They were utterly suppressed!
It was as though they could not withstand this aura at all!
"This..."
"This is the aura of the Opening Treasury Realm!"
"Kid, you... you're actually an Opening Treasury Realm martial artist?"
"How is that possible?"
Several of them cried out in alarm, as though they had seen something utterly unimaginable.
"Nothing is impossible!"
Jiang Yi raised one hand and struck down at one of them.
"Boom!!!"
To that man's eyes, it was as though mountains were collapsing and heaven and earth were shaking!
With a single palm strike!
His entire body shattered layer by layer, turning into a puddle of minced flesh that fell into the mud.
[You killed one Ninth level of Qi and Blood enemy and plundered 91 years of lifespan.]
With a swift shift of position!
Jiang Yi arrived before another man and threw a punch. His qi and blood surged, blasting open a patch of vacuum!
Qi and strength became wholly one!
His strength carried the force of ten thousand jun. His fist pierced through the man's chest, and with a slight tremor, blood blossoms filled the sky, intertwining with the falling rain.
[You killed one Ninth level of Qi and Blood enemy and plundered 93 years of lifespan.]
He turned and stepped away, avoiding the Blood Rain!
He closed in on the remaining four!
He was too fast!
In the blink of an eye, two had already fallen!
The sight made the remaining four men's scalps go numb, endless terror rising in their hearts.
They could not muster even the slightest courage to resist!
Their only thought was—
Run!!!
One man turned and fled, pouring every scrap of his Ninth level of Qi and Blood cultivation into his legs.
He wished he could immediately take flight!
But Jiang Yi was already before him. The moment he moved, a hand landed on his back!
Terrifying force surged into him like a flood released from a broken dam!
It poured forth!
Amid a burst of cracking bones and splitting flesh, his internal organs were pulverized into a slurry.
His entire body became like that of a boneless creature!
He collapsed limply to the ground!
[You killed one Ninth level of Qi and Blood enemy and plundered 92 years of lifespan.]
Jiang Yi covered three steps in two!
With the support of the Earth Spleen Treasury, his qi and blood circulated through all directions. His body was light as the wind and swift as lightning!
He raised his hand and brought down a palm, exploding one man's head!
He clenched his fist into a hammer, splitting another's body into eight pieces!
Two more Ninth level of Qi and Blood martial artists died at his hands, their deaths tragic and fierce.
The last man remaining!
Jiang Yi did not play favorites. He leaped into the air, descended from above, and viciously stomped down with one foot.
A terrifying pressure seemed to form from thin air!
The last man's body suddenly stiffened under the firm lock of Jiang Yi's aura.
The qi and blood throughout his body nearly froze solid!
However!
As a Half-step Opening Treasury Realm fighter, he was ultimately far stronger than one at the Ninth Heaven Peak.
For a moment, he actually broke free!
But Jiang Yi's foot had already descended!
Before the force of ten thousand jun!
What could he use to block it?!
"Rumble!!!"
The earth split apart, and endless dirt and stones flew everywhere. Where his foot landed, the ground caved into a pit.
The final man was crushed directly into the earth, shattering section by section from the top of his head down!
Blood gushed from the pit like a pillar!
[You killed one Half-step Opening Treasury Realm enemy and plundered 97 years of lifespan.]
