Free Web NovelChapter 306: Chapter 305: Breaking the Formation
Several more streams of Qi Aura shot out. This time, Wen Qingye didn’t dodge. The Qi Aura mercilessly pierced through his white robes, and a red gash immediately appeared on his shoulder.
Watching Wen Qingye’s powerful physique become exposed, the many female disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect couldn’t help but blush, feeling a wave of dizziness wash over them.
"Not enough. Still not enough!"
Wen Qingye knew this amount of Qi Aura was nowhere near enough to temper his body, and the essence of sharp metal it provided was minuscule. He drew his sword and swung it forward. A massive stream of Sword Qi, dozens of feet long, shot into the distance before gradually dissipating.
Drawn in by the Sword Qi, the surrounding streams of Qi Aura grew increasingly numerous.
SWISH! SWISH!
In that instant, countless streams of Qi Aura surged crazily toward Wen Qingye.
RIP!
Wen Qingye was like a lone boat in a tempest, tossed about by the storm. As streams of Qi Aura grazed past his body, he only dodged the ones that were lethal; all the rest struck him directly.
"What is this Wen Qingye doing? Why isn’t he dodging or evading?"
"Look, Wen Qingye’s wounds..."
"They’re... they’re healing so quickly! Has Wen Qingye cultivated Body Refining Martial Arts?"
At first, the crowd was baffled, but upon seeing Wen Qingye’s wounds heal with such astonishing speed, every one of them was stunned.
Body Refining Magic Techniques were known to be quite precious. Furthermore, Body Refining Martial Arts required not only immense willpower but also a vast amount of cultivation resources. For these reasons, most people would never practice them.
The streams of Qi Aura became more and more numerous, pouring down like a torrential rain. A sharp, metallic aura rushed forward, like a beast from the Primordial Chaos.
Wen Qingye stood firm in the center, enduring the endless tearing of the Qi Aura. Pain continuously spread through his entire body, but his expression didn’t change in the slightest.
Before anyone realized, four hundred breaths of time had passed!
A flash of understanding suddenly appeared in Liuu Han’s eyes. ’Is he using the Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array for Body Refining?’ she thought to herself. ’What incredible audacity!’
Most people would consider themselves incredibly lucky just to survive within the Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array, yet Wen Qingye was actually using it for Body Refining. Liuu Han found it utterly unbelievable.
Bu Yanting’s brow furrowed deeply. ’This Wen Qingye... he actually lasted for four hundred breaths.’
She had only wanted to cause some trouble for the Celestial Profound Sect’s disciples, but she never imagined Wen Qingye would treat the Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array as his personal training ground.
By now, everyone could see Wen Qingye’s intention.
Blood flowed from his wounds, only for them to heal with incredible speed. With every new gash, Wen Qingye could feel a trace of golden energy enter his body.
This golden energy grew more and more abundant, boring its way into his very blood and bones.
Pain!
An unimaginable pain spread throughout his entire body. The agony from the gashes caused by the Qi Aura was not even one-ten-thousandth of this new torment.
Wen Qingye’s brow furrowed. With a flip of his palm, he sent a surge of Primordial Qi through his body, directing it toward his blood and bones.
CRACK! CRACK!
From within his body, several crisp sounds of bones cracking rang out.
The onlookers could almost see his bones deforming and fine tendrils of blood seeping from his skin. Yet, Wen Qingye’s expression remained unchanged as he continued to parry the lethal streams of Qi Aura.
A shiver went down everyone’s spine, and they could feel their teeth ache. A chill rose from the depths of their hearts.
"Can he not feel pain?" Wei Shuang’Er asked in astonishment. "An ordinary person would have fainted from such agony long ago. How can he still be standing?"
"What incredible willpower," Jin Ming said, pointing at Wen Qingye. "Look closely at his left hand, and his face. His fingernails are digging into his palm, and his face is pale. He is in pain..."
Looking at Wen Qingye, who was completely drenched in blood, everyone gasped in shock.
In the crowd, both Yann Xiangyang’s and Cheng Yu’s eyes were filled with worry.
Five hundred breaths of time passed!
The color of the Qi Aura changed again, transforming into black streams. Each time they shot through the air, they were accompanied by a faint sound of reality itself seeming to distort.
A black stream of Qi Aura sliced open Wen Qingye’s flesh, revealing the bone beneath. A layer of flowing golden light could be seen covering the bone.
Yu, having settled Guo Jie, frowned as he watched Wen Qingye still inside the Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array. "This black Qi Aura is so sharp," he muttered, "it could probably slice through a Mid-Level King Grade Magical Artifact."
He knew that if he were in there, even if he weren’t dead, he would most likely be severely injured by now. Yet Wen Qingye dared to face this black Qi Aura head-on. ’Wen Qingye must have cultivated an extremely profound Body Refining Martial Arts.’
Yingg Tian’s face was pale as he stood to the side, a wry smile on his lips. "Wen Qingye’s strength is immense. I can’t imagine what minor kingdom could have produced such a talent. If Wen Qingye is promoted to Core Disciple, that kingdom will have hit the jackpot."
"Unimaginable willpower," Little Monkey said, his expression grave as he gazed forward. "As for Wen Qingye... I’m completely convinced."
Yu took a deep breath and sighed. "With this level of willpower alone, his future achievements will be anything but ordinary."
Time continued to pass slowly. After an unknown amount of time, Wen Qingye felt as if the intent of sharp metal had permeated every drop of his blood and every inch of his bones. This was followed by an invigorating, refreshing sensation.
His bones and meridians felt as if they had undergone a complete, transformative rebirth.
BOOM!
A vast, boundless aura surged from Wen Qingye’s body, spreading in all directions. The countless black streams of Qi Aura around him were instantly shattered into dust.
Five Elements Body Refining Technique, Third Layer!
The onlookers’ vision blurred for a moment. By the time they refocused, Wen Qingye had already retrieved a fresh set of white robes from his Sumeru Ring and dressed himself.
Seeing this, Qin Wuya hurriedly shouted, "That’s enough, Wen Qingye! Hurry and get out of there!"
The Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array was incredibly formidable, and he was terrified that some accident might befall Wen Qingye. The talent Wen Qingye had just displayed was more than enough to warrant such concern.
Bu Yanting nodded and said softly, "I’ll break the Array Map."
She, too, was now afraid Wen Qingye might actually die inside the Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array. Given the talent he had just displayed, the repercussions of his death would be severe.
But at that very moment, Wen Qingye took a step forward. His body soared high into the air, a majestic figure rushing toward the starry expanse.
He pointed his sword fingers toward a star in the southeast.
SHREEE!
The One Thought Sword transformed into a light, graceful arc of light that shot straight toward the star.
BOOM!
In that instant, the earth shook and the mountains trembled! The very color of the sky and land changed!
Everyone felt as if the world itself was being turned upside down before their very eyes, as if the entire world were about to capsize.
After an unknown amount of time, the crowd looked ahead once more.
They saw only the ethereal green mountains, with leisurely white clouds drifting by and a few wild geese occasionally soaring past.
With a single-handed flourish, Wen Qingye retrieved the One Thought Sword. The scene, like a painting etched upon the summit of Piaomiao Peak, was one the crowd would never forget for the rest of their lives.
