The Arena Battles, Comprehending the Dao of Void Refinement
Outside the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace, at the martial arts arena.
A group of prodigies from the Crimson Realm were surrounding Long Aotian, who had just been beaten black and blue, and asking him all sorts of questions.
"Senior Brother Long, is that kid really that strange?"
"Even you can't beat him? What kind of fighting style does he have?"
Long Aotian rolled his eyes at them, rubbed his still throbbing lip, and said in a muffled voice, "Strange? Hmph! That kid's physical strength is inhuman! He's more like an ancient Ferocious Beast in human skin!"
"Moreover..." A hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes, "Every punch of his contains an extremely special 'intention,' as if it can suppress everything!"
Inside the Sutra Repository.
Dongfang Yueming sat cross-legged, surrounded by dozens of jade slips emitting various colors of light.
His Divine Sense absorbed its essence with an insatiable hunger.
[Crimson Dragon Battle Body: Tempered with dragon blood, once mastered, one possesses boundless strength and Immunity to All Techniques...]
[The Hegemon Sheds Armor: Abandoning all defense in exchange for ultimate offensive power...]
[The Imperishable Golden Body: The physical body is immortal, Rebirth from a Drop of Blood...]
However, despite the fact that these techniques were all top-notch, Dongfang Yueming always felt that something was missing.
Not enough... still not enough!
These techniques, while powerful, focus too much on the 'form' and neglect the 'intention'!
[What I need is not just physical strength, but also... an unparalleled Martial Dao will that reigns supreme and shatters everything!]
Just as he was deep in thought, an arrogant voice came from outside the pavilion.
"You Lower Realm brat named Dongfang Ri! Get out here right now!"
"I heard you beat that piece of trash Long Aotian? I'm not convinced! Come out and fight me one-on-one if you dare!"
Dongfang Yueming frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
[Again?]
Do you really think I'm just a sparring partner?
He walked out of the library, looked at the burly, red-haired man who was shouting, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.
"Want to fight?"
"That's right!" the burly man sneered, "I am..."
"Shut up," Dongfang Yueming interrupted him directly, "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."
With a casual wave of his hand, a huge stone tablet crashed down in the center of the training ground!
The sign above reads four large characters: [Martial Dao Arena]!
"Want to challenge me? Fine."
"One match, 300,000 low-grade spirit stones!"
"If you win, all the spirit stones are yours, and I'll get out of the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace immediately!"
"If you lose, the spirit stones are mine, but you get out of here!"
"What?!"
This statement caused an uproar throughout the room!
Three hundred thousand?! Has this guy gone crazy for money?!
"Hmph! Utterly arrogant! Does he really think he's invincible?"
"I'll give you a run for your money!"
The burly, crimson-haired man was the first to lose his temper. He pulled out a storage bag and threw it over, then roared and charged onto the arena!
"Bang!"
One punch.
Just one punch!
The burly man was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and unable to get up for a long time!
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence!
"Next," Dongfang Yueming said expressionlessly.
In the next hour, Dongfang Yueming fought ten battles in a row!
Whether it's a physical cultivator focused on strength, a speed-based assassin, or even an outlier skilled in mental attacks...
Under his seemingly ordinary fists, there was only one outcome—
Defeat!
A crushing defeat!
"Ten wins in a row!"
"And... they were all defeated in a single move!"
"This... is this the strength of a prodigy from the Lower Realm realms?!"
The disciples of the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace were completely stunned!
After Dongfang Yueming put away the three million spirit stones, a look of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.
Through these exhilarating hand-to-hand combat battles, he finally touched that layer of paper that had always blocked his way... the window paper!
[I see...]
The so-called ' Martial Dao ' is not merely about accumulating strength, but rather... a belief! A will! A... courage to throw a punch at the sky!
[Battle is the best whetstone for Martial Dao!]
Ignoring the still-dazed crowd, he dashed back into the Scripture Pavilion!
"I'm going into seclusion!"
"I vow not to leave this seclusion until I have comprehended the method of Void Refinement!"
At the same time, news of Dongfang Yueming's "ten-game winning streak" spread like wildfire throughout the entire sect!
"Hmph! A country bumpkin from the Lower Realm dares to act wildly in my Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace?!"
Inside a magnificent palace, a young man clad in purple-gold armor, exuding an unfathomable aura, suddenly crushed the jade cup in his hand!
His name is "Lei Jue", another protector of the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace, and also Honglian's mortal enemy!
"I heard he came in with that woman Honglian's token?"
A sinister glint flashed in Lei Jue's eyes.
"Since you're one of hers... then don't blame me for being impolite!"
At this moment.
Deep within the library.
Dongfang Yueming suddenly opened his eyes, and a beam of light pierced through the Xukong like a sharp sword!
"It's done!"
After several days of secluded practice and deduction, combining the essence of countless top-tier body-refining techniques, he finally... deduced the follow-up methods of the "I Alone Am Supreme Technique"!
[The I Alone Am Supreme Technique - Void Refinement Chapter!]
Without any hesitation, he vanished from the spot in a flash.
"Huh? That kid's out?"
"Judging from his expression, is he planning to run away?"
"Tch! I thought he was something special, turns out he's just a coward!"
Seeing Dongfang Yueming's hurried departure, many disciples made sarcastic remarks.
However, Dongfang Yueming simply ignored them.
He went directly to a remote, uninhabited mountain area.
[Point Allocation!]
[Ding! Consuming 1,600,000 points, "I Alone Am Supreme Technique - Void Refinement Chapter" has been upgraded to Level 1!]
"Boom--!"
In an instant!
An indescribable, terrifying suction force erupted from his body!
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles was instantly drained!
Within his Purple Mansion, the [Martial Dao Primordial Spirit] that had already Perfection began to undergo its most fundamental transformation at this moment!
It was no longer just a simple Body Integration laws, but began to... collapse inward!
"Void Refinement and unite with the Dao, open up the grotto-heaven!"
Dongfang Yueming roared!
"Boom--!!!"
A deafening roar exploded inside his body!
A primordial, undeveloped "small world," brimming with infinite possibilities, slowly took shape deep within his dantian!
[The Grotto-Heaven World]!
Moreover, it's above the low-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade levels—it's top-grade!
Although he was only a newborn, he could clearly sense that this world contained an absolute will that was supreme and could suppress everything!
Is this... the Void Refinement Realm?
He clenched his fist, feeling as if the whole world was under his control!
[Continue!]
[Ding! 1,600,000 points consumed, second level!][Ding! 1,600,000 points consumed, third level!]
[Ding! 2,000,000 points consumed, fourth level!][Ding! 2,000,000 points consumed, fifth level!][Ding! 2,000,000 points consumed, sixth level!]
[Ding! 2,400,000 points consumed, seventh level!][Ding! 2,400,000 points consumed, eighth level!][Ding! 2,400,000 points consumed, ninth level!]
As he consumed a massive amount of points, the Grotto-Heaven World within him was also expanding at an astonishing rate!
From the initial area of a hundred zhang in radius, to a thousand zhang, ten thousand zhang...
In the end, it transformed into a vast world spanning tens of thousands of miles!
[Ding! Consuming 3,200,000 points, "I Alone Am Supreme Technique - Void Refinement Chapter" has been upgraded to Perfection!]
"Buzz--!"
The moment the technique Perfection!
That [Martial Dao Primordial Spirit] has completely merged into this Grotto-Heaven World!
His already Perfection [Heaven-Grade Divine Ability - My Dao Is the Only One] also manifested, transforming into a towering, world-suppressing [Martial Dao Statue], standing tall in the center of the Grotto-Heaven World!
Void Refinement Perfection!
Dongfang Yueming slowly opened her eyes.
In the depths of his eyes, it seemed as if a world was being born and dying, constantly changing!
[Me now...]
Even when facing a powerful being at the Body Integration...
[Not necessarily, they might not even have the strength to fight!]
