Chapter 609 Tribulation Crossing and Ascension?
Although Fang Yu was not clear about what would happen when he broke through to the ten thousandth layer.
But he was certain that something would definitely happen.
Because currently his dantian was already in an extremely expanded state.
In this situation, the ten thousandth layer of Qi Refinement would either be the peak, or it would cause his dantian to undergo a qualitative change.
Regardless of which case, at least it wouldn’t be like the previous nine thousand plus layers, where breaking through was just breaking through, plain and ordinary.
After continuously refining for nearly a month, the Immortal King’s heart in Fang Yu’s hand had shrunk from its original size of about two heads to the size of a fist.
The energy inside was almost depleted.
And the capacity of his dantian had almost reached its limit.
The speed at which Fang Yu absorbed energy using the Soul Devouring Technique had slowed down.
Because the spiritual energy refined in his meridians had become extremely difficult to enter his dantian.
Each strand of spiritual energy entering the dantian would make it expand further.
During this period, Fang Yu could feel pain.
The pain caused by the stretching of the dantian walls would be unbearable for ordinary cultivators, comparable to the pain of having one’s soul torn apart.
But for Fang Yu, who had tempered his body 101 times, this pain was completely bearable, not even causing him to furrow his brow.
Right now, he only wanted to completely refine the heart in his hand.
As for whether he could break through from nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine layers in one go, that would depend on fate.
One day, two days, three days…
Time flew by, and the pain in Fang Yu’s dantian grew increasingly intense, as if it could burst at any moment.
This feeling, Fang Yu knew well.
The previous two layers were broken through in this state!
“It should be soon!”
Fang Yu’s eyes brightened, becoming more focused.
In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.
The heart in Fang Yu’s hand had been completely refined and disappeared.
All the spiritual energy had entered Fang Yu’s dantian.
At this point, his dantian was in a state of extreme expansion.
Fang Yu knew clearly that this should be the limit of his dantian.
If he were to infuse more spiritual energy, his dantian would surely burst.
“Since I can’t absorb any more external spiritual energy, I’ll use the spiritual energy within my dantian to forcibly break through the bottleneck,” Fang Yu thought.
With this in mind, Fang Yu immediately circulated the spiritual energy in his body, forcibly condensing the spiritual energy in his dantian into one mass.
The sea of spiritual energy in his dantian was already in an extremely high-pressure state.
As Fang Yu circulated it, he felt a muffled sound from within his dantian.
“Puff!”
Fang Yu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
A tremendous aura suddenly exploded from his body.
“Boom!”
The entire cave was instantly blasted apart by this aura, sending stone fragments flying.
Fang Yu sat cross-legged in place, his body emanating a dazzling golden light.
The small golden dragon that had been circling around his dantian directly flew out of Fang Yu’s body, circling around him.
The aura on Fang Yu’s body continued to surge!
“Rumble…”
The surrounding heaven and earth trembled, and the waterfall and spring next to the cave erupted with splashing water!
“Crack crack crack…”
The ground beneath Fang Yu could not withstand this extremely powerful aura and continuously collapsed downward.
During this process, the small golden dragon circling around Fang Yu moved at high speed, opened its mouth wide, and emitted a long dragon’s roar.
“Woooo…”
All creatures in the entire forest ran away as if fleeing from a life-threatening crisis!
The previously clear sky instantly turned gloomy!
Countless dark clouds gathered directly above Fang Yu’s head, with lightning and thunder!
At this moment, Fang Yu opened his eyes, looked up at the sky, with excitement in his gaze.
“Is this… a lightning tribulation? Am I about to ascend directly!?”
“Boom!”
A thunderous sound came from the sky, and a bolt of lightning descended from heaven, striking directly on Fang Yu’s golden-glowing body.
Normally, this level of electric light would pose no threat to Fang Yu, not even enough to tickle him.
But now this bolt of lightning, striking Fang Yu’s body, although it didn’t cause any physical pain, made his entire brain instantly go blank!
Fang Yu’s entire brain was in a state of emptiness!
And in this state, the aura on Fang Yu’s body gradually weakened, and the small golden dragon that had been circling rapidly went from being full of fighting spirit to flying slower and slower, eventually diving back into Fang Yu’s body.
When Fang Yu regained consciousness, everything was over.
His cultivation level remained at nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine layers of Qi Refinement, still half a step away from ten thousand layers.
“What exactly is…”
Fang Yu’s eyes were filled with shock as he raised his head to look at the mid-air.
By now, the lightning clouds that had gathered earlier had dispersed.
Fang Yu lowered his head, looked at his hands, and clenched them.
There were no wounds on his body, and his dantian inside was still in a state of extreme expansion.
But that feeling of being about to break through to the ten thousandth layer had disappeared.
That bolt of heavenly lightning had forcibly pulled Fang Yu back just as he was about to enter the ten thousandth layer of Qi Refinement!
“Damn! I was just trying to break through the Qi Refinement stage, was a lightning tribulation really necessary!?” Fang Yu looked up at the sky and couldn’t help but curse.
The gathering of those dark clouds in the sky earlier and the descent of lightning were very familiar to Fang Yu.
Years ago, when his master and senior brother ascended, he had secretly watched from the side.
Basically, the situation just now was the same as during a tribulation.
Only, the scale was much smaller.
When those powerful experts at the peak of the Tribulation Passage stage underwent lightning tribulation back then, it could affect an area of dozens of kilometers!
“What exactly is going on…”
Fang Yu scratched his head, looking at the now clear sky, feeling unwilling to give up.
Just now, he felt he was only half a step away from the ten thousandth layer of Qi Refinement!
If that bolt of lightning had descended five seconds later, Fang Yu might have successfully broken through!
“Sigh…”
After staring at the sky for a long time, Fang Yu let out a heavy sigh.
Although his dantian was still extremely expanded, Fang Yu had lost that feeling of being about to break through.
That opportunity for breakthrough just now would be difficult to encounter again anytime soon.
His cultivation level had returned to a stable nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine layers of Qi Refinement.
“I really… forget it.” Fang Yu looked up at the sky, wanting to curse loudly, but ultimately held back.
He lowered his head and looked around.
At this moment, the surrounding situation made his eyes flash with surprise.
The cave had exploded, the nearby spring had turned into a depression, and the small mountain with the hanging waterfall had collapsed.
The entire forest in front was all broken at the waist, bending outward.
From these conditions, one could see how powerful the aura released from his body was when he was about to break through.
“Well, this failure can only be attributed to timing not being right; next time I will definitely succeed.”
Fang Yu said to himself in his heart.
Then, he glanced around, raised his right hand, activated his Void Ring, and disappeared from the spot.
…
Recently, many major events have occurred throughout the Nine Provinces Nation.
In the Eastern Capital, the Martial Arts Association issued a major bounty. They are hunting nationwide for a martial artist named Fang Changsheng, who is described as extremely fierce-looking.
It is said that this martial artist caused havoc at the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association, injured many martial artists within the association, and even killed experts hired by the chairman, committing heinous crimes.
The bounty amount is extremely large, almost as if the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association is emptying its coffers, causing the entire martial arts world of the Nine Provinces Nation to boil with excitement.
Many martial artists have already set out to search for Fang Changsheng’s whereabouts.
Meanwhile in Xiang City, news of the alien invasion eventually spread.
However, since the Immortal Race had already been eliminated, this event did not attract too much attention.
People from other regions mostly treated this matter as a minor incident, like some kind of beast tribe uprising.
Within the Xiang City area, they were rapidly clearing away traces left by the Immortal Race and repairing the damage they had caused.
Within the top secular families who had been at Weizhen Platform that day, there were discussions about the true identity of the man who appeared at Weizhen Platform and saved the entire Xiang City.
The martial arts world of Xiang City had fallen into a certain degree of silence.
After experiencing this event, all the major martial arts families clearly realized one point.
In front of truly powerful beings, these so-called top families were actually extremely weak.
To the extent that when facing the Immortal Race, they could only kneel in submission to beg for survival.
This bone-deep humiliation was imprinted in the heart of every family member, difficult to erase for a lifetime.
