That day.
On the second level of the Undying Mountain, in order to reach the limit faster, Wang Yu continued to climb upwards. The suppressive effect of the Demon Mountain became stronger the higher he went, which naturally helped him achieve his goal faster.
Even the laws of force are being suppressed.
The space became increasingly stable, and the damage caused by his unparalleled divine power was visually greatly reduced when he reached the ninth level.
With the power of an entire realm, it became capable of only moving mountains and seizing peaks.
The force field was completely compressed.
In a daze.
It was as if he had returned to the time when he was at the fifth or sixth level of physical strength. So weak and so suppressed, Wang Yu truly touched the "string of the limit".
Now, all that's left is one more battle!
…………
—Boom!
Its muscles throbbed like a dragon, and the dark veins covering its skin resembled a gluttonous beast with its mouth wide open, frantically absorbing the demonic life force from the Blood River Beast to restore its stamina, which had been more than half depleted.
Not long after, Hyun-hee frowned and muttered to herself.
"The effect of the Undying Mountain in assisting physical breakthroughs doesn't seem to be as good as I imagined... The eighth-order chasm is indeed not easy to break through, but the reputation of this place as a holy land for physical cultivation is still an exaggeration."
As the young master of the Xuan family, his overall strength is no less than that of any other lineage. There are even cultivators with the surname Xuan among the nine lineages of the demonic path, and there are no fewer than twenty Mahayana ancestors.
Xuanji, who possessed the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root from a young age and had the "Nine Dragons Profound Body", was born to cultivate both the Dharma and the Body, and could cultivate both simultaneously!
He overcame the sixth-order barrier of spiritual and physical integration with his special physique, and by absorbing and refining the Nine Dragon Primordial Spirit, he split his soul and merged it, thus advancing to the seventh order of body refinement.
Few can rival him on this Immortal Mountain.
Having been invincible for so long, his gaze was always fixed on all living beings, so it was naturally difficult for him to discover the true purpose of the Immortal Mountain. Moreover, he had never suffered much in his life, so how could one expect him to explore the true meaning of the limit in pain?
"If you still can't break through in three years at most, then leave Undying Mountain. It's not as mysterious as the ancestor described; staying here will only be a waste of time..."
Just as Hyun-hime plucked the Blood River Treasure, her body suddenly trembled and arched into a shrimp shape without warning.
A dark shadow swept through the arc-shaped hole and pocketed the eighth-tier Blood River Treasure that resembled a snake fruit.
The man was naked from the waist up, and his clothes were tattered.
Her long, silver hair cascaded down to her lower back, covering most of her face. Her bare upper body was covered with deep, bone-revealing scars, making her look extremely pitiful.
This made Hyun-hee simply frown.
"Since you are in such a terrible state, fellow Daoist, then I will give you this Blood River Treasure to help you recover."
In his limited understanding, this person was in such a miserable state that giving away a Blood River Treasure was not a problem at all, since the Undying Mountain had no shortage of such treasures.
Just as they were about to leave, the "tragic man" suddenly pounced on them with extreme ferocity. The wind blew his hair aside, revealing an incredibly handsome face.
That vibrant energy, that youthful exuberance, was hard to fake. It left Hyun-hee momentarily bewildered, not understanding what he was trying to do, but she still raised her elbow to block the sudden punch.
Who else could this person be but Wang Yu?
After months of trekking, he had already pushed himself to his lowest point. Then he encountered twelve battles, large and small, with both humans and beasts, but he was still just a little short of his limit.
Breaking through the limit is even more difficult. It would be hard for him to capture this string called "limit" so accurately in the outside world, but he can do so in the Undying Mountain.
Despite the horrific wounds covering his body, not a single drop of blood flowed out. This was because he had drained all the energy from his blood, leaving only a tiny amount in his bone marrow.
This is also a way of transforming oneself under extreme conditions.
Having suddenly encountered such a formidable opponent as Hyun-hee, I naturally cannot let her go; perhaps my breakthrough will come in this very battle.
However, the other side didn't seem to have much fighting spirit.
Wang Yu grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and suddenly twisted his waist, kicking out a piercing sonic boom. Even in his exhausted state, this whip kick could still shatter an entire minor world in the outside world.
This is the ultimate control over power.
Even if only a tiny bit remains, it can still unleash its peak power. Unfortunately, it is suppressed by the Undying Demon Mountain, and the space is as stable as divine iron, which greatly reduces its destructive power.
But in Hyun-hee's eyes, her pupils suddenly contracted.
He was sent flying backward uncontrollably, crashing into a mountain before barely managing to stop. The excruciating pain throughout his body made him truly feel angry as he climbed out from the shattered rocks.
Even the best upbringing cannot suppress the anger in one's heart.
--shame!
His ever-present pride wouldn't allow him to accept this defeat, so he immediately swooped down.
His vital energy surged like smoke from a wolf's beak, transforming into the shape of a black dragon.
Suddenly, it collided with Wang Yu's raised palm.
"You ungrateful wretch!"
His silver hair danced wildly, and Wang Yu's expression grew increasingly frenzied.
"Kill me, or I'll kill you!"
He continued to push her body to its limits, reaching out with a claw that could cleave the sky. This was a close-combat technique from the bloodline of a true dragon, its angle bizarre, aimed straight at Xuan Ji's throat.
The latter's black muscles possessed incredible flexibility, and his elbow joint seemed to be non-existent as he instantly intercepted the grab, while simultaneously raising his knee to strike Wang Yu's side waist.
Attack where the enemy must defend!
Normally, Wang Yu would naturally choose to return to defense, but now... he is pursuing a breakthrough to the limit, and prefers a style of play that trades injuries for injuries, in order to break through the critical point more quickly.
Therefore, I chose to lift my left leg.
Their actions were exactly the same as Hyun-hee's, and so, to the latter's bewildered expression, it happened almost at the same time.
Both of them had their waists smashed into a bloody mess by the force of the blow, leaving perfectly circular wounds, as if they had been bitten by some ferocious beast.
The splattering flesh was amplified by the effects of the Undying Demon Mountain.
Possessing immortality and the ability to coalesce, even if blasted hundreds of miles away, it seems to possess life, constantly wriggling towards its original form, and spontaneously merging with other pieces of flesh along the way.
After the final recovery, the amount of meat will not be reduced by a single bit.
This is the secret to immortality, the breakthrough of the limit!
This wasn't the first time Wang Yu had experienced this, and the pain couldn't affect his fighting spirit at all. So, without stopping, he slammed his head into the ground with a powerful headbutt.
The latter felt dizzy and was also in pain, grimacing in pain.
But Wang Yu seemed to have no sense of pain. Once he was attached to someone, he attacked like a mad dog, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
This greatly hurt Hyun-hee's pride.
Still not back to reality.
Wang Yu charged forward again, grabbing his calf with one hand. In an instant, the tendons and bones were dislocated, leaving only the misaligned white bones of his left leg, like a butcher dissecting an ox.
Hyun-hee's face suddenly turned deathly pale. When she saw Wang Yu's palms clenched like knives, ready to cripple her leg, the fear and resentment in her heart finally overwhelmed the physical pain.
He didn't have the information jade scroll given to him by the Giant Sun Demon Lord.
For some reason, the elders of the Xuan family deliberately did not tell him about the immortality bestowed upon them by the Demon Mountain, and even made him so corrupt that he was oozing pus. They warned him that mutual attacks were forbidden during the Immortal Mountain Trials.
This is the real reason why he failed to perceive the effects of the Undying Mountain. How could he possibly break through by simply using the Blood River Treasure without pushing his limits?
In the path of body refinement, the difficulty of breakthroughs increases as you progress.
Many levels require the courage and conviction to fight to the death, which is precisely what Hyun-hime lacks. However, even if she mustered her conviction this time, it would be difficult to change the outcome...
—Gaba!
With a sharp crack, Xuan Ji's left leg was forcibly twisted off by Wang Yu, and torn off in an extremely brutal manner. He then threw her to the tenth level of the Undying Mountain.
It will probably take several days for him to "crawl" back on his own.
Hyun-hee's eyes turned completely red.
"You're insane! You're a madman!"
After the roar, he launched a furious revenge, his abundant blood and energy temporarily coalescing into a strong left leg covered in dragon scales, and he once again engaged Wang Yu in battle.
In this state, Hyun-hee completely fulfilled Wang Yu's demands, and the perfect foundation she had built since childhood was fully unleashed in this outburst.
Wang Yu's condition was ultimately too poor, and Xuan Ji's purpose in this trip was to break through the eighth-order chasm. Her pure physical cultivation was already a level above his, and she was further enhanced by the Nine Dragons Profound Body.
Every gesture he makes is imbued with the power of the Nine Dragons.
In just a few dozen moves, he struck Wang Yu three times, almost turning his upper body into a skeleton. As he approached his limit, Wang Yu seemed to enter a state of oneness with nature.
His potential burst forth at its limit, and his fist struck Hyun-hee several times.
therefore.
In the intense exchange, after a few breaths, two incomplete "skeleton figures" stood facing each other on either side, no more than ten meters apart.
I felt the limits within my body about to snap.
Wang Yu finally revealed a joyful smile.
"Ten years of arduous training are not as effective as a few months of effort here. How satisfying!"
After a sigh, his energy and blood were completely depleted.
He appeared dead, his head drooping, but in reality, the vigorous vitality within his body had been completely activated, entering a mysterious and profound state of transformation. Not only was his cultivation breaking through to the seventh level of perfection, but it was also undergoing a transformation.
Under the catalysis of his subconscious, the laws of force also deeply integrated with his body, starting from his bones, leaving traces of the laws of force at the cellular level, and the traces of the laws became more and more obvious.
The barrier to reaching the eighth level of Body Refinement is also constantly thinning!
On the other side.
Because other powers were sealed, the body cultivators' perception abilities were mostly passive, and they couldn't detect the life force transforming within Wang Yu's body at all.
Therefore.
Hyun-hee's expression was very complicated; she thought Wang Yu had died in the final outburst.
He murmured softly.
"Although you are a crazy person who doesn't know martial ethics, I have to admit that you are very strong and have completely woken me up. I have achieved what I have today at the age of two thousand years, so there is no need to rush to make another breakthrough."
"I hope to encounter opponents of your caliber again in the Undying Mountain in the days to come..."
Just as Xuanji sat down cross-legged, intending to take out the Blood River Treasure she had collected earlier to recover, her movements suddenly stopped. The barrier between realms that had previously blocked her had been weakened considerably.
He suddenly realized that the value of the Undying Mountain lay in the fact that these cultivators, who had also gone far in the path of body refinement, could serve as his combat opponents!
"Is this the real reason why the Ancestor sent me here?"
Without further hesitation, he immediately absorbed the Blood River Treasure to recover.
One year later.
He had recovered to his peak strength, but the vague perception of the insurmountable barrier between realms told Hyun-hee that if the gains from the deathmatch were out of ten, he had only digested about thirty percent at most.
Seventy percent of them disappeared automatically when he recovered.
With his quick wit, he immediately realized that he had done something foolish and should have taken the opportunity to break through his own limits. Unfortunately, he rarely practiced in this area and missed the chance.
"Alas... It's my fortune to have it, and my fate to lose it. It's time to send that fellow Daoist off to his funeral."
He felt a sense of loss for a moment.
The moment Hyun Ji stood up, Wang Yu stood up at the same time, his bones cracking and popping, revealing his perfect seventh-level aura, and he had already recovered to his peak state.
After pushing the limits, the body's vitality is revitalized.
This greatly raised his potential.
Even the Law of Force has reached the critical point of 49%. The Undying Technique has been more than half completed, and the advanced Undying and Indestructible Body has been integrated with more than half of the Law of Force.
It is transforming into a "chaotic demonic body". Once such a body is formed, the laws and traces of the Dao cannot be broken, and it can easily survive in chaos.
Unless one uses the Law Chains to unleash a powerful divine technique.
otherwise.
It would be difficult to even harm a hair on Wang Yu's head. The ultimate goal of a body cultivator is to forge the legendary "Pangu Creating the World Body," the true pinnacle of power!
Wang Yu could sense that once the laws of force were fully inscribed and the Undying Law was perfected, the Chaos Demon Body would be naturally formed, and at that time, the eighth-order natural barrier would be easily broken.
It doesn't even need the help of the "Eighth-Rank Vajra Bodhi Fruit".
Similarly.
He has also mastered the Endless Hell Suppression Technique. He only needs to meditate for a period of time and combine it with the "Myriad Transformations True Demon Scripture" to successfully open up his own "Mind Hell".
Right now.
Seeing that Hyun-hee looked completely dumbfounded.
Wang Yu smiled and said, "You seem quite surprised?"
Hyun-hee remained silent for a long time before asking, "...Who exactly are you?"
While pondering, Wang Yu suddenly realized.
"It seems that you have an ordinary background and know very little about the special characteristics of the Undying Mountain. Since you helped me break through, I, Wang, will also lend you a hand. Feel it properly!"
Suddenly.
Wang Yu's figure disappeared from the spot. At his peak, his combat power was more than ten times stronger than a year ago. With just one punch, he stunned Hyun Ji.
An unparalleled, powerful force surged into his body.
In the blink of an eye.
Hyun Ji's physical body exploded like fireworks, instantly turning into flying bits of flesh and bone fragments. What Nine Dragons Mystic Body? In the face of Wang Yu's excessive power, it was nothing more than a vase that would shatter at the slightest touch.
After the excruciating pain, consciousness fell into silence, only to be protected by the miraculous power of the Undying Demon Mountain, and flesh and blood began to spontaneously reassemble.
This utter destruction completely shattered the shackles of her realm within Hyun-hee's body. In the outside world, she would be beyond dead, but in the Undying Mountain, she still had a chance to recover.
Wang Yu held a bone fragment in his hand, waiting for the other party to recover.
at the same time.
He took out the Vajra Bodhi Fruit and swallowed it directly. The opportunity to undergo trials at the Undying Mountain was rare, and he might be able to break through his physical limits once again here.
Eighth rank... that's the domain of a Celestial Venerable.
How could anyone not yearn for it?!
And so, another year has passed.
When Hyun-hee's consciousness awoke from its slumber, after a moment of confusion, she was plunged into boundless fear, staring in disbelief at her body restored to its original state.
"This...this...how is this possible!"
"No need to be surprised, this is the true effect of the Undying Mountain—immortality!"
"Fellow Daoist, you are sitting in a treasure mountain, but you do not recognize its true face. Experience it again."
And so it was.
Hyun-hee, who had just recovered, was blasted into dust again, leaving only a single vertebra standing proudly in place. (End of Chapter)
