"This is just the surface of their murderous aura!"
Yu Wei turned to Ning Chuan and solemnly said, "The deeper we go into the fog, the stronger the killing aura becomes. Even a River Realm Heavenly King from the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace couldn't withstand it in the past."
She withdrew her hand, and the thick fog returned to calm, the murderous aura vanishing.
"Can it become even stronger?!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan's eyes lit up slightly.
The killing aura he just displayed only slightly activated his Force Aperture. For him, it was about the same as when he fought the Combat Divine General, and it was not enough to condense the Force Wheel.
"I'll go in and give it a try!"
Ning Chuan surveyed the thick fog before him, his expression expectant, and said, "This murderous aura seems to be beneficial to my cultivation!"
"This..."
Yu Wei and Shen Yourong faces changed slightly upon hearing this.
The dense fog is extremely dangerous; in Ning Chuan, even the slightest carelessness could lead to an accident, or even serious injury or death.
At that time, the entire Federation will probably be turned upside down.
"Why don't you think about it some more!"
Yu Wei was nervous and advised, "A murderous aura contains spiritual energy that is difficult to resist and can easily cause irreversible damage to the soul."
Ning Chuan smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry, my soul is strong. I can react quickly enough to escape danger."
Ning Chuan wasn't lying.
He never forgot about spiritual cultivation, taking the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid and the Spirit-Transforming Fruit together, resulting in rapid progress.
Compared to Ye Qingwu at her peak, she is incomparable.
But in the current Federation, it seems no one is stronger than him.
Taking a step, Ning Chuan walked into the thick fog.
The master and apprentice beside him tensed up and stared intently at Ning Chuan.
boom!
Upon entering, a thick fog billowed, and an overwhelming aura of slaughter surged forth, far more intense than what was sensed in the medicinal field. It was as if a thousand troops were charging, ready to tear Ning Chuan's body and soul apart.
"A murderous aura can also affect the mind and test one's will; no wonder it can activate the Force Aperture!"
Ning Chuan remained calm, showing no signs of panic or fear.
A golden light, like molten lava, surged around him, and his spiritual power swept out to resist the impact of the killing aura.
He examined his body and found that the Force Aperture) were very active and vibrating violently.
However, it still hasn't reached the level of condensing the Force Wheel.
Ning Chuan lifted his leg and took a step forward, continuing deeper into the area.
boom!
The intensity of the killing aura surged dramatically, like countless sharp blades, covering the sky and shooting in from all directions.
Yu Wei and Shen Yourong stood outside the thick fog, both finding it hard to bear; cold sweat streamed down their faces and soaked their hair.
However, facing the murderous aura head-on, Ning Chuan's steps were steady, his posture upright, without even the slightest tremor. He continued to move forward firmly, pressing down on the mist as if it were about to explode!
Bang!
Ning Chuan's gaze was like lightning, his feet stomped on the ground, and his third step landed heavily.
At the same time, nine Force Aperture flew out from his body, connected with each other, and merged into a form.
"It's taking initial shape, but it's still very fragile, similar to the previous fifth Force Wheel. It's not a complete success yet!"
Ning Chuan thought to himself and continued forward.
With each step he took, his murderous aura surged, becoming as imposing as a mountain, pressing down upon them.
Ning Chuan possessed unwavering willpower and immense mental strength; under this dual defense, his soul remained unharmed.
However, his Force defenses were limited and he was already finding it difficult to withstand the attacks.
A portion of the killing intent pierced through and attacked Ning Chuan's body, crashing into him fiercely, but was shattered by the impact!
Ning Chuan's body is sturdy and can temporarily withstand the attack.
After taking eight steps, his murderous aura reached a terrifying level, as if a god had descended and was unstoppable.
Ning Chuan's body reached its limit.
His skin gradually cracked, and bright red blood gushed out, flowing down in streams and staining his clothes red.
Ning Chuan remained indifferent and unconcerned, simultaneously resisting the killing aura and concentrating his mind to circulate the Nine-Wheel Method.
Beside her, Yu Wei's pretty face changed slightly; she was panicking.
Thick fog rolled in, and she could see Ning Chuan covered in blood.
" Yourong, quick, come with me to heal Ning Chuan! His Force is being used to fight off the killing aura, so he can't heal his injuries!"
In her haste, Yu Wei called him by his full name.
She opened her jade-like hand, activating her physical strength. Streams of pure, dark purple energy surged from her palm, rich in life force, streaking across the sky and flowing into Ning Chuan's body.
Shen Yourong was the same, except that the energy she emitted was pink.
With the combined treatment of the master and apprentice, Ning Chuan's injuries were alleviated.
Ning Chuan sensed something was amiss, but didn't have time to thank him.
He is at a crucial moment in condensing the Force Wheel and needs to concentrate fully.
Not long after.
Buzz!
Ning Chuan's sixth Force Wheel, which had been floating and dissipated, has successfully condensed!
The already powerful Force surged even further!
Sensing the power emanating from within his body, Ning Chuan smiled.
But then, he took a deep breath, calmed himself, and, with a powerful aura of killing intent, strode forward.
Opportunities to condense the Force Wheel are rare.
The ninth step landed, its murderous aura shaking the heavens and earth, terrifying beyond compare, as it furiously struck Ning Chuan.
His skin cracked open again, and blood gushed out.
"No refunds!"
Ning Chuan's eyes were resolute.
Willpower is the core of the Nine-Wheel Method.
He's only injured right now and can barely keep going. If he chooses to retreat, it might affect his ability to condense the Force Wheel later.
Ning Chuan's thoughts flashed, and he controlled nine Force Aperture to fly out and connect with each other.
The process was very slow.
Ning Chuan knew that this was because the intensity of the killing aura was not strong enough, but he had reached his limit and could no longer advance.
In fact, he was able to take nine steps only thanks to the treatment from Yu Wei and her Shen Yourong.
Fortunately, the points of contact between the Force Aperture can fuse and form a ring.
Initial coagulation should not pose a significant problem.
"Um?!"
Suddenly, Ning Chuan felt a chill run down his spine, and his pupils contracted sharply.
Before him, a thick fog surged and churned, spreading outwards and revealing the scene behind him.
It was all black fog.
It was perfectly calm, without any ripples, like a polished mirror.
No fluctuations were observed.
However, as the black mist appeared, Ning Chuan felt a sharp, stinging pain all over his body.
His body was giving him a warning, telling him to escape!
"What is this?!"
Ning Chuan's expression was serious.
He had a premonition that entering the black mist would definitely trigger something terrifying.
They could even perish instantly.
Swish!
At that moment, a thick fog rolled in, blocking the black mist.
The stinging sensation in Ning Chuan's body immediately dissipated.
"Forget about that for now. The most urgent task is to condense the Force Wheel."
Ning Chuan suppressed his thoughts and closed his eyes.
The black mist was more than ten feet away. If he wanted to get closer, he would have to condense all nine Force Wheel.
Time slips away, bit by bit.
The Force Aperture gradually merged.
Yu Wei and Shen Yourong continuously emanated energy.
Two pretty faces, covered in fragrant sweat.
Both master and disciple used their physical strength to heal Ning Chuan, which consumed a great deal of energy.
"Master... Master, I can't hold on any longer!"
Shen Yourong's body went limp, and she knelt on the ground, panting heavily from her red lips.
Beside her, Yu Wei's breathing was also unsteady. She said, "You... you rest first. I'll handle this alone."
Before long, Yu Wei exhausted her physical strength, but she did not stop.
She stared at Ning Chuan, who was covered in blood, gritted her teeth, burned her physical essence, and then released energy.
"Master, you..."
Shen Yourong's expression changed.
The body's fundamental energy source is consumed; once depleted, the consequences are severe.
Physical damage is secondary.
The main issue is lifespan, which is significantly reduced.
"It doesn't matter."
Yu Wei's voice was weak, but firm.
Ning Chuan has done a great favor for the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace.
She lost some of her lifespan, but it's insignificant.
She would give her life for it.
