Chapter 61 The Miraculous Effect of Phoenix Blood: Breakthrough to Level 1!

"We can't Cultivate here, we need to find another place."

Luo Yue said.

Chu Han nodded, then suddenly pointed at the corpses floating in the lava: "Do you want these corpses? If not, they're all mine."

"Suit yourself."

Luo Yue replied and walked out of the lava space.

"She really is a rich woman; she doesn't even care about these Materials."

Chu Han was overjoyed and immediately moved across the lava, collecting the corpses of the dead Vermilion Toads into his space.

He didn't even spare the corpses deep within the lava, including the one belonging to the 6th-rank Martial Artist.

"Another small fortune!"

After collecting the corpses, Chu Han leisurely followed Luo Yue out of the lava space.

Luo Yue stopped in an underground cave, found a flat stone to sit on, and held the phoenix blood vermilion fruit, preparing to absorb it.

Chu Han also found a spot dozens of meters away from Luo Yue and sat down.

He took out the phoenix blood vermilion fruit, swallowed it whole, and it melted instantly upon entering his mouth.

The next second, the medicinal power of the phoenix blood vermilion fruit erupted in Chu Han's abdomen.

Instantly, Chu Han felt as if a burning sun had been stuffed into his stomach, and the scorching medicinal power rapidly spread through his Meridians.

"Hiss!"

He gasped sharply, his forehead instantly covered in cold sweat. His body trembled uncontrollably, his teeth ground together, and the intense pain almost made him lose consciousness.

The medicinal power of the phoenix blood vermilion fruit was even more terrifying than he had imagined!

Every trace of medicinal power contained pure flame essence, rapidly penetrating his flesh, bones, and even the depths of his cells.

Absorbing just a bit could completely transform his body.

He could clearly feel that his body's cells were rapidly regenerating under the nourishment of the flame essence, bringing astonishing vitality.

However, the pain brought about by this process was several times more intense than when he absorbed the black primordial energy before.

Chu Han's skin quickly turned red and hot, then cracked open. Fine beads of blood seeped out from the wounds, quickly soaking his Battle Suit.

Shockingly, the seeping blood also carried an extremely high temperature, burning holes through the Battle Suit as it passed through.

The blood dropped onto the rock floor, burning a small hole in the stone.

"My Battle Suit!"

Chu Han endured the intense pain, took off the blood-stained Battle Suit, and stored it in his space ring.

At this moment, his upper body was bare, his fair skin covered in blood beads, yet faintly radiating a transforming luster.

He used his Mental Energy to glance at Luo Yue in the distance. She had her eyes closed, surrounded by faint fire attribute Yuan Qi, clearly also fully absorbing the medicinal power of the vermilion fruit.

But she didn't seem to have Chu Han's trouble; her aura was steadily rising.

The protruding rock in the middle of the cave happened to block Luo Yue's view, so Chu Han didn't have to worry about her seeing him in this state.

He steadied his mind and began to Cultivate according to the postures of the third stage of the Nine Heavens Body Forging Art.

As one posture was completed, the cells inside his body instantly became active, starting to frantically absorb the medicinal power within him.

This process was still extremely painful.

But with the help of the Nine Heavens Body Forging Art, the medicinal power of the phoenix blood vermilion fruit was rapidly absorbed, continuously nourishing his physical body.

Chu Han could feel that his physical body was rapidly growing stronger.

His strength, cell activity, muscles and bones, and vitality intensity were all rapidly increasing.

After completing one cycle of the 36 postures of the third stage, the yuan qi vortex in his Dantian began to spin rapidly, further increasing the speed of medicinal power absorption.

Chu Han had a thought: "Since the medicinal power is so abundant, why not try Cultivating the fourth stage of the Nine Heavens Body Forging Art!"

The difficulty of each layer of the Nine Heavens Body Forging Art increases, and every three layers marks a massive watershed in difficulty.

For Chu Han to Cultivate the fourth layer was not just an increase in difficulty and pain, but a challenge to a higher Realm!

With the support of the phoenix blood vermilion fruit's medicinal power, now was the best opportunity.

He took a deep breath, slowly adjusted his posture, and then struck the first posture of the fourth stage.

The moment the posture was completed, a wave of pain several times stronger than before swept through his body, feeling as if his Meridians were about to tear apart.

The pain he experienced previously from absorbing the phoenix blood vermilion fruit became insignificant at this moment.

"Hold on!"

Chu Han gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, as sweat mixed with blood beads continuously streamed down his face.

He could feel that, with the completion of this posture, the speed at which his body absorbed the medicinal power instantly increased severalfold.

The previously rampant flame essence was rapidly transformed, the blood beads on the surface of his skin gradually disappeared, replaced by a faint luster.

The skin that had cracked due to the medicinal impact also healed at a visible speed.

Even more miraculously, he could clearly feel his life level leaping!

He was evolving from an ordinary Mortal towards a more Advanced life form!

Chu Han was ecstatic and continued to Cultivate according to the postures of the fourth stage. One posture after another was completed through his effort.

It took him two hours to complete all the postures of the fourth stage.

A powerful Yuan Qi Storm suddenly erupted inside the cave. The Yuan Qi surrounding Chu Han was quickly absorbed into his body, mixing with the medicinal power of the phoenix blood vermilion fruit and integrating into him.

"Hoo!"

Chu Han let out a long breath.

He instantly felt a sense of ease in his body. The pain he experienced while absorbing the medicinal power of the phoenix blood vermilion fruit was gone, replaced by an unprecedented feeling of comfort.

He could feel that his physical capabilities had received an unprecedented boost!

"My single-arm strength must definitely exceed 150,000 Jin now!"

What shocked him even more was that he discovered a large amount of fire attribute Yuan Qi was actually stored in his Dantian.

This Yuan Qi was converted from the medicinal power of the phoenix blood vermilion fruit, and surprisingly, it did not dissipate as usual but was stored in his Dantian!

"I can Cultivate Cultivation Techniques now!"

Chu Han was so excited he nearly jumped up.

Before, he could only rely on body forging techniques to strengthen his physical body and couldn't store Yuan Qi like other Martial Artists. Now, he had finally Broken Through this restriction and truly stepped into the ranks of Martial Artists!

He immediately circulated the Flame Swallowing Art, coordinating with the yuan qi vortex in his Dantian, converting all the remaining medicinal power in his body into fire attribute Yuan Qi and storing it.

As the last trace of medicinal power was absorbed, Chu Han could clearly feel his cultivation quickly Breaking Through the 1st Rank, soaring all the way to the level of a 2nd-rank Martial Artist.

Although he was only 2nd Rank, the Yuan Qi reserves in his Dantian far surpassed ordinary people, and the density of Yuan Qi in his body was comparable to a 5th-rank Martial Artist!

These were all the effects brought about by the phoenix blood vermilion fruit and the Nine Heavens Body Forging Art.

Feeling the magnificent Yuan Qi within his body, Chu Han was filled with confidence.

With his current Yuan Qi level, combined with his powerful physical body, he already had the strength to fight a 6th-rank Martial Artist.

If he encountered the Black Crow Leader again, it wouldn't be certain who would kill whom.

On the other side, Luo Yue's aura suddenly strengthened by a large margin, clearly indicating she had successfully Broken Through to the 6th Rank.

However, Luo Yue still hadn't finished Cultivating; the medicinal power of the phoenix blood vermilion fruit had not been completely absorbed yet.

Chu Han put on his clothes and looked toward Luo Yue.

In his heart, he pondered Luo Yue's talent.

According to his observation, Luo Yue's talent was definitely not simple.

Should he copy her talent?

Chu Han was momentarily caught in a dilemma.
