Chapter 379: Chapter 148: Innate Martial Artist! Spiritual Energy Infusion, Three Flowers Gathering at the Top! (10,000-Word Mega Chapter)_3
And as a streak of fish-belly white brightened the horizon, Su Changkong felt his body lighten, his thoughts became sharper, and a warm current seemed to rise within him, inducing a metamorphosis-like change in his physique!
“I’ve broken through…” Su Changkong opened his eyes, a smile touching the corners of his mouth. He knew that after months of arduous cultivation, his Guiding Technique had finally taken a step further, entering the Eighth Realm!
Guiding Technique (8 Realms Transcendental 1%)
Lifespan: 225 years
Potential Points: 42
Indeed, upon opening his attribute panel, he saw the Guiding Technique reaching the Eighth Realm, accompanying this, his lifespan had increased by 10 years, and his potential points by 2.
Su Changkong could distinctly feel that after breaking through the two-hundred-year lifespan threshold, it had become increasingly difficult to lengthen his lifespan!
“Potential points have increased by another 2 points. After this bloody battle ends, I can cultivate in peace,” he thought.
Su Changkong was immensely satisfied, now becoming even more monstrously talented.
“After reaching the Eighth Realm in Guiding Technique, my sense of spiritual energy has become clearer, and I can even actively pull nature’s spiritual energy!” Beyond that, Su Changkong discovered that the major change upon reaching the Eighth Realm of the Guiding Technique was his ability to actively draw in spiritual energy.
In the past, Su Changkong could only see the flow of spiritual energy.
However, this spiritual energy could not be absorbed by the human body—if one dared to forcibly absorb it, one’s meridians and body would burst from the pressure!
Only by achieving an Innate Body and undergoing a rebirth to unveil a Heavenly Pulse can spiritual energy from nature be refined and absorbed by the body.
The bloody battle was drawing to a close. After this fight, he could retire with his task accomplished, complete the remaining two Blood Refining processes to achieve the Qi Blood Twelve Transformation, study the Divine Intent Picture Crystal Ball of the Intention Demon Form Skill, and when there’s nothing else to advance, head to Central State to see if he could obtain a thread of Innate Qi and step into the Innate Realm.
Once he achieved Innate status, it would be a rebirth, and undoubtedly his lifespan would increase as well!
While Su Changkong was planning his future, at the end of the Sunset Prairie, within the fortress of the Black Wolf Army, the City Lord of Black Wolf City had a grim look as he surveyed the room, “This battle has gone on until today. In just two short months, we have already lost nearly fifty thousand men. Is there not one among you who can take down Hong Zhenxiang?”
Like the State Governor Pei Yang over at Dafeng State, the City Lord of the Ferocious Wolf Clan’s Black Wolf City had also personally come to supervise the battle on the Sunset Prairie. This bloody fight was not even closely matched; their side had suffered far more losses, placing immense pressure on him.
At the root of it all, it was because his side lacked a master who could punish Hong Zhenxiang! Allowing him to rampage and kill at will was too detrimental to their own morale!
Faced with the City Lord’s question, everyone in the hall lowered their heads, knowing all too well that Ke Rong, the great warrior, had been chopped down by Hong Zhenxiang in just a few strokes. Hong Zhenxiang was clearly stronger than he had been over a decade ago, and for them to face Hong Zhenxiang now would simply be marching to their deaths.
“Let me deal with Hong Zhenxiang,” a robust voice suddenly cut through the silence of the hall.
All eyes inevitably turned to the source of the sound and saw a brawny man sitting in a corner.
The brawny man with shoulder-length black hair was at least two meters tall, his eyes carried an indifferent gleam, yet emitted an aura of a formidable warrior.
“It’s Chikhatu, the warrior!”
A chill ran through everyone’s hearts.
Chikhatu was a particularly special warrior in the Black Wolf Army, having joined the Black Wolf Army just a few days prior, from one of the larger tribes of the Ferocious Wolf Clan. He had defeated a powerful expert in the army a few days ago and was thus treated as an honored guest by the Black Wolf City Lord.
Now stepping forward voluntarily and claiming he would deal with Hong Zhenxiang? Although his strength was undoubtedly strong, how much did it measure up to Hong Zhenxiang’s?
“This…” Even the Black Wolf City Lord hesitated. Chikhatu was strong, of that he could be sure, but he had only revealed a glimpse of his power a few days ago. If Chikhatu were unable to kill Hong Zhenxiang and was instead killed by him, it would undoubtedly be another significant defeat!
Seeing the City Lord’s hesitation, Chikhatu chuckled and said mockingly, “Has losing so much beaten the resilience out of the Ferocious Wolf Clan? I will handle this battle with Hong Zhenxiang. After all, I am a warrior who emerged from the Dragon Hunting Tribe! The head of Hong Zhenxiang will be my trophy!”
Not one to mince his words, Chikhatu ridiculed the City Lord, yet his tone was filled with confidence, compelling a sense of involuntary belief.
The Black Wolf City Lord, recalling Chikhatu’s overwhelming strength showcased earlier and considering the current dire situation where dragging things out could only worsen, decided that another attempt was preferable to continued losses. If they were to lose, they might as well concede defeat cleanly and retreat back to Black Wolf City, putting an end to this bloody conflict. The situation couldn’t get any worse than it already was!
Thereupon, the Black Wolf City Lord stood up, bowed respectfully to Chikhatu, and presented him with a cup of strong liquor, “This battle will be troubling you to handle Hong Zhenxiang, warrior Chikhatu! Should you take his head, I believe the Ferocious Wolf King Court will personally summon you!”
“Leave it to me, this battle… I shall win!” Chikhatu downed the strong liquor in one gulp, his black hair billowing out, exuding a bold and confident demeanor.
“The time is almost ripe for me to make my move. The Ferocious Wolf Clan’s forces have suffered heavy casualties and already despise the Dafeng Iron Cavalry down to their bones. By striking down Hong Zhenxiang now and leading troops to breach the Sunset Fortress and directly attack Feng State City, slaughtering wantonly, it’s enough to provoke a full-scale war between the two nations! As the Faction Leader of the Black Lotus Sect in Feng State City, I must do something grand!”
Chikhatu’s lips curled in a smile, but his heart was cold and grim.
Chikhatu had long wanted to slay Hong Zhenxiang, who had killed many of his men. He had endured until now, just to wait for this bloody battle to come about, hoping to expand the scope of the conflict. Hong Zhenxiang would become the fuse to ignite the tensions in DengFeng State, spreading and escalating the war!
