Chapter 275 The Unparalleled Tenth Vein (5K)

"Xiang Shaolong?"

Xu Qingshan pondered the name carefully and looked at Bai Luoxue.

Bai Luoxue knew what he wanted to ask, so she shook her head and replied, "Although we are the Holy Dragon Guards, the Ten Directions World is so vast that it is normal for there to be unknown geniuses. This person was able to kill a Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator while only at the Divine Intent Realm, which is enough to demonstrate his talent."

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Xu Qingshan nodded and stopped worrying about it.

Suddenly, he slapped his forehead: "Oh no, he left in such a hurry that I forgot to return the bag to him."

He picked up the cloth bag in his hand; not all the healing pills inside had been used up, about half remained.

Now that Su Chen has left, he doesn't know how to find him and return the bag to him.

“This matter is not urgent, Senior Brother. We need to report the alliance between the Demon Alliance and the Spirit Alliance to the royal family as soon as possible,” Bai Luoxue said.

Xu Qingshan nodded: "Okay, let's go then."

He put away the cloth bag, intending to return it to Su Chen when he had the chance to meet him again.

In his opinion, with such high talent, Su Chen would probably break through to the Dharma Aspect stage in no time.

Once he reaches the Dharma Aspect stage, he might join the Holy Dragon Guard.

At that time, he will have the opportunity to return the bag and repay the kindness.

After leaving Yunxia Mountain, Su Chen arrived at a mountain stream.

The mountain stream is desolate and secluded, making it suitable for secluded cultivation.

However, he did not start cultivating immediately, but instead planned to refine the Pure World Glazed Fire first.

The Nine Revolutions of Separation Fire merely devoured the Purifying Glazed Fire, rather than completely merging with it.

Only after it has been refined can the Nine-Turn Separation Fire truly possess the characteristics of the Purifying Glazed Fire.

"Fortunately, my Nine Revolutions Blazing Fire has reached its limit and possesses the property of devouring, allowing me to devour other alchemical fires. Otherwise, I might have missed out on the Purifying Glazed Fire!"

Su Chen was overjoyed.

Both acquired and innate alchemical fire actually possess a hidden devouring attribute.

However, the conditions for releasing the acquired elixir fire are extremely demanding.

Like the Nine Revolutions Fire, only by cultivating the Nine Revolutions Fire Technique to its ultimate level can one devour other alchemical fires.

If Su Chen had not been able to refine the Heavenly Heart Pill, even if he had reached the ninth level, he would not have been able to use the Li Fire to devour the Purifying Glazed Fire.

After calming himself down, Su Chen opened his palm, and a ball of flame suddenly rose into the air.

The flames burned fiercely, with the outer layer being the Nine-Turn Fire and the inner layer being the Pure World Glazed Fire.

Enveloped in the Nine Revolutions of Blazing Fire, the Pure World Glazed Fire struggled desperately within the flames, like a prisoner.

Without wasting any time, Su Chen immediately calmed his mind, closed his eyes, and began to refine the Purifying Glazed Flame.

This kind of refining is more like a gradual erosion and assimilation.

The characteristics of the Pure World Glazed Fire are gradually consumed by the Nine Revolutions of Separation Fire, and then it is assimilated into the state of Separation Fire.

The process is tedious and extremely mentally taxing.

Fortunately, Su Chen's primordial spirit was pure and powerful, allowing him to handle such operations with ease.

Time flows like water, disappearing into nothingness.

After an unknown amount of time, only a single flame remained of the Pure World Glazed Fire.

This cluster of flames is also the core flame of the Pure World Glazed Fire; only by refining it can the two be fused together.

At this point, it finally realized the danger and desperately resisted, unwilling to be assimilated.

However, given the prevailing trend, its resistance was futile.

The Nine Revolutions of Fire first released its goodwill, completely enveloping it, and then continuously shrinking its range.

Seeing that it was still struggling frantically, Nine Revolutions Fire lost patience and went straight for it.

Pure flames penetrated the flames from 360 degrees, and in less than half an instant, the flames lost their original color.

Finally, the Nine Revolutions Fire and the Pure World Glazed Fire merged together seamlessly.

A new flame, possessing the characteristics of two different flames, rose up and danced around Su Chen.

This flame was neither the deep crimson of the Nine-Turn Fire nor the light yellow of the Pure World Glazed Fire, but a unique grayish-brown.

Amidst the gray, a striking splash of crimson surges forth.

The color itself didn't tell the whole story, but the aura it exuded made Su Chen feel a sense of heaviness.

Su Chen opened his eyes and was shocked by the scene before him.

What met the eye was desolation.

What was once a place overgrown with weeds now seems to have suffered immense damage and turned into a wasteland.

This desolation extended across an area of ​​ten meters around him.

Centered on the flames, the earth cracked open with deep fissures that spread out like a spider web.

"The two flames have merged, making them even more powerful!" Su Chen was secretly shocked.

He was completely unaware of this change during the refining process.

However, this was good news for him, as it meant that even after merging, he still had complete control over the new flame.

"Let's call the new flame the Nine-Turn Glazed Flame," Su Chen decided on the name of the new flame simply and directly.

He then put away the Nine-Turn Glazed Fire, deciding not to delve into its study.

Because he has more important things to do right now.

"Let's study the Nine Revolutions Glazed Fire after we've improved the Pure Yuan Scripture."

Su Chen thought to himself, and then he took out the carefully protected Heavenly Heart Pill from his pocket.

Looking at the Heavenly Heart Pill, a burning desire flashed through Su Chen's heart.

Whether the Ultimate Pure Yuan Scripture can open the tenth profound meridian depends on this Heavenly Heart Pill.

Dispelling distracting thoughts and emptying his mind, Su Chen swallowed the Heavenly Heart Pill.

In his mind, the panel's voice then rang out:
[Easy Mode Activated: Breathe 900 times to reach the limit of the Pure Yuan Scripture.]

Inhale, exhale...

After nine hundred breaths, the panel suddenly changed, and the Pure Yuan Scripture reached its limit at that moment.

Su Chen remained calm, his heart pounding.

After waiting for a while, his body didn't seem to change, which disappointed him: "Could I have guessed wrong?"

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Su Chen's body trembled violently, and then the Yuan energy in his Xuan Meridian began to boil.

The immense Yuan energy, like a raging flood, roared through Su Chen's limbs and bones.

An unusual heat rose up, like steam, and quickly spread throughout Su Chen's body.

His pores opened and closed, and waves of light white gas emanated from them.

If anyone were to see this, they would surely be shocked by what they saw.

Because these dissipated gases are not water, but primordial energy.

Under this scorching heat, Su Chen's skin turned bright red, and he looked like a piece of iron being forged.

The higher the temperature, the more Yuan energy is released from the body.

In the end, these elemental energies lingered above Su Chen, forming a fog that completely enveloped him.

Within the fog, Su Chen appeared to be in immense pain.

The nine mysterious veins seemed to be torn apart, crushed into a ball, and then restored to their original state.

Intense pain surged like waves, assaulting Su Chen's nerves and contorting his face.

Su Chen gritted his teeth, ignoring the changes in his body, and remained rational.

However, when this intense pain reached his primordial spirit, Su Chen's primordial spirit could no longer resist leaving his physical body.

That is, at the moment his primordial spirit separated from his physical body, an astonishing change occurred within him.

The nine previously restless meridians all calmed down at the same time, without prior agreement.

However, this calm did not last long.

In less than three breaths, a sound comparable to a volcanic eruption spread out.

Su Chen could sense that a new profound meridian had appeared in his body.

The appearance of the tenth profound vein instantly extinguished all of Su Chen's pain.

A slight smile appeared on his狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) face: "My guess was correct!"

The ultimate Pure Yuan Scripture was indeed able to open up the tenth Xuan Meridian.

The tenth profound vein has not yet been officially activated; it has only shown a glimmer of hope.

Even the slightest sign of trouble made Su Chen feel like he was about to collapse.

Because the moment the tenth profound vein was revealed, the remaining nine profound veins became extremely violent.

They lodged a strong protest, trying to prevent the opening of the tenth profound vein.

Such protests were directly translated into action.

The remaining Yuan energy from the nine Xuan Meridians gathered from all directions and surged toward the Heavenly Spirit position.

An attempt to nip the budding of the tenth meridian in the bud!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Su Chen's brain was extremely dizzy from the constant impact of the Yuan energy.

He held fast to his spiritual platform, trying to use his will to mobilize the uncontrolled elemental energy.

But right now, these Yuan energies are not obeying his commands at all; they are doing everything they can to prevent the opening of the tenth Xuan Meridian.

Under such hysterical obstruction, the tenth profound vein, which had just begun to emerge, was forcibly suppressed.

"No!"

Upon realizing all this, Su Chen roared furiously in his heart.

Knowing that the opening of the tenth profound vein was imminent, how could he possibly watch this opportunity be stifled? A surge of anger welled up within Su Chen's consciousness.

The Yuan Power, which had already spiraled out of control, seemed to sense Su Chen's anger and became even more frenzied.

"Primordial Power!"

Su Chen roared inwardly, "Since I can't control this Yuan energy, then I'll use the power of Hunyuan."

He's determined to open this tenth profound vein today, and no one can stop him!

With such an unbreakable belief, Su Chen did his best to circulate the Hunyuan Wuliang Gong.

There was not a trace of Primordial Chaos Power within him.

Even with the suppression of the nine profound veins, it was impossible to convert the Yuan power into Hunyuan power.

In the instant of operation, streams of pure energy suddenly emerge from the internal organs, meridians, bones, blood cells, and so on.

It is the power of primordial chaos!

The Primordial Power, summoned by Su Chen, flowed from all parts of his body to his head.

Although not much, it is very pure.

With the suppression of the Primordial Chaos Power, the raging Nine Meridians Primordial Power gradually calmed down.

Although they still wanted to prevent the opening of the tenth meridian, they were powerless to do so.

With the help of the Primordial Chaos Power, the tenth Mystic Meridian was slowly opened.

With the opening of the tenth profound meridian, Su Chen's body is also undergoing astonishing changes.

First, there's the primordial energy within the nine meridians of the body.

These stubborn elements were doomed; under the cleansing power of Hunyuan, they turned into gas and dissipated.

The Yuan energy within Su Chen's body was completely emptied, replaced by Hunyuan energy.

The power of primordial chaos flows through the nine profound meridians, constantly strengthening and reinforcing them.

Secondly, there are other parts of the body.

With the opening of the tenth profound vein, the mist surrounding Su Chen seemed to be summoned.

Like a torrent of water, it poured into Su Chen's body.

The moment they entered Su Chen's body, they quickly transformed into Primordial Chaos Power, which then surged throughout his body.

The areas being refined are no longer limited to the profound veins, but include organs, meridians, bones, blood...

The final change is the primordial spirit.

Through the tempering of various elixirs, Su Chen's primordial spirit had actually reached a bottleneck.

However, under the tempering of the Primordial Power, the bottleneck seemed to have disappeared.

Su Chen's primordial spirit was strengthening at a slow pace.

After an unknown amount of time, the tenth profound vein was successfully opened.

Physical strength, blood and qi, meridians, and primordial spirit all undergo changes accordingly.

Just how strong it is, even Su Chen couldn't judge for the time being.

Su Chen opened his cloudy eyes, and the clear sky and bright earth restored his vision.

He took a deep breath, and his tense nerves relaxed.

"Finally, the tenth profound vein has been opened!"

Twenty years of waiting had not been in vain; at this moment, Su Chen's heart was filled with joy.

He carefully experienced the changes brought about by the tenth mysterious vein.

The most obvious change is in the Yuan Power, which is no longer the Xuanmai Yuan Power, but the Hunyuan Power!

The dried-up Xuan Meridian was now filled with Primordial Chaos Power. While opening the tenth Xuan Meridian, Su Chen completed the conversion of Yuan Power.

For Su Chen, this transformation is generally a positive development.

After all, the power of primordial chaos can be transformed into various kinds of energies of heaven and earth, while the power of primordial chaos is relatively singular and can only be transformed into the power of primordial chaos, but cannot be transformed into other energies.

The second change is lifespan!

On the panel, in the lifespan section, Su Chen's lifespan increased by five hundred years.

Subtracting the one hundred years of lifespan consumed, it is equivalent to gaining four hundred years of lifespan.

It instantly made up for the hundreds of years of lifespan that had been lost, and even surpassed that of ordinary Divine Intent Realm martial artists.

When a martial artist breaks through to the Nascent Soul Realm, their lifespan will experience a breakthrough.

To break through to the next level, one must reach the Longevity Realm, at which point lifespan will change.

But Su Chen was different; the successful opening of his tenth meridian brought his lifespan close to 1,500 years.

It is higher than many martial artists at the Divine Intent Realm.

Looking at the remaining lifespan on the panel, Su Chen had only one thought.

That means we need more life-threatening cultivation techniques!
Unfortunately, this time, the Pure Yuan Scripture has truly reached its limit and can no longer be improved.

Otherwise, even if it costs him five hundred years of lifespan, he would continue to sacrifice his life.

The third change is in strength.

After the Primal Chaos Power replaced the Primal Power, not only did its power increase, but its quantity also increased.

The primordial power that the ten mystic veins could contain reached an unprecedented level.

With a casual wave of his hand, he can unleash the power of a million yuan!
Even Su Chen himself couldn't judge the difference between his Hunyuan Power and the Yuan Power of other martial artists at the same level.

"However, right now, I will find it much easier to deal with a royal-level demon general."

Su Chen recalled the battle he had fought against the Emperor-level demon.

At that time, it took a lot of effort to kill a royal-level demon. The opponent's strength was not great, equivalent to a minor master of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

But now, Su Chen is confident that he can kill his opponent using only the power of Hunyuan.

Based on this assessment, Su Chen guessed that he would not be afraid even if he faced a royal-level demon who had reached the Great Perfection of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

"But this is far from my limit!"

Su Chen murmured, his eyes shining brightly.

His current strength has not yet reached his limit; he can continue to grow stronger.

"The Nine Revolutions Glazed Fire combines the functions of the Nine Revolutions Separation Fire and the Purifying Glazed Fire. The former can remove impurities from elixirs, and presumably it can also remove impurities from the human body. The latter can strengthen the primordial spirit. With the two combined, it may be able to temper my body and soul at a deeper level."

The opening of the Xuanmai (mysterious veins) involves more changes in Yuanli (primordial energy).

Opening the tenth profound vein, although it tempered Su Chen's spirit and body, had a significant effect, but it was very short-lived.

Upon obtaining the Nine-Turn Glazed Flame, Su Chen planned to use it to temper his physical body and primordial spirit.

Now that the opening of the Xuanmai is complete, it's time to test its effects.

"Among the myriad martial arts paths, those who cultivate the Heavenly Pill Martial Path use this tempering method to refine their physical body and soul, which is enough to demonstrate the feasibility of this method."

After hesitating for a moment, Su Chen made up his mind.

Just as he was about to use the Nine Revolutions Fire Technique to temper his body and soul, his gaze suddenly fell on the sky above.

There, he sensed a familiar presence.

Su Chen's calm voice rang out: "Come out."

As soon as the words were spoken, four figures appeared. They were all familiar faces, namely the four demons including the Fierce Tiger Emperor.

"I was wondering why you'd come here, turns out you're in seclusion cultivating!" Huoshu said through gritted teeth.

After leaving Yunxia Mountain, they did not return, and the four demons could not swallow their anger.

It's bad enough that their plans were ruined by the royal family of the Holy Yuan Kingdom, but to be so humiliated by a martial artist at the Divine Intent Realm is another matter entirely.

If this gets out, how will they be able to hold their heads high in the Demon Alliance and the Spirit Alliance?
Just then, Huoshu inadvertently sensed the aura of the Pure World Glazed Fire, and thus followed the aura to find it.

However, the aura disappeared too quickly, and he was unsure of Su Chen's whereabouts.

After searching for a while, the four demons were about to give up when, by a stroke of luck, they found Su Chen.

"However, no matter how much you cultivate, you cannot prevent your inevitable death today!" Fire Tree said viciously.

His eyes were filled with raging anger, and the thought of the Pure World Glazed Flame being refined by the other party made his anger surge.

The Fierce Tiger King stared at Su Chen, his eyes deep and filled with anger.

To prevent Su Chen from escaping, Fierce Tiger Emperor immediately ordered, "Stop him, don't let him get away."

"He can't escape!" Qingyang Teng didn't take Su Chen seriously at all.

The four demons moved swiftly, surrounding Su Chen in the blink of an eye.

Four figures stood high in the sky, looking down at Su Chen with murderous intent on their faces.

"Do it!"

Soon, the Fire Tree made its move, spreading its branches across the sky, dimming even the heavens.

Next came the Fierce Tiger Emperor. He opened his mouth and spewed out a thick cloud of black mist, which resembled a ferocious venomous python, howling as it attacked.

Next is the Flame Soul Flower, whose petals open, and invisible ripples of power spread out at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

This is a sonic attack that directly targets the martial artist's primordial spirit; it is extremely terrifying.

Finally, there's the Azure Sun Vine, which uses the same attack as the Fire Tree, but instead employs vines to strike.

Endless vines danced wildly in the void, like a rushing river, all converging on Su Chen.

These vines also concealed an unparalleled killing intent.

Above the vines are exceptionally sharp thorns, extremely razor-sharp.

Even a martial artist at the peak of the Dharma Aspect Realm could have their flesh pierced if they were not careful when touching thorns.

The four royal-level demons immediately revealed their fierce killing intent, wanting to kill Su Chen!
