51: Marrow Cleansing Realm? Perfect for practice!

Deep within the demonic lair, space suddenly twisted!

The Nine Nether Demonic Qi, thick as ink, surged back madly. A giant claw covered in pale bone blades tore through space, carrying an extreme cold that could freeze the Soul and a terrifying power that could rip apart the earth, fiercely grabbing towards Lin Jingyu's head!

Nine Nether Demon Chi! A ferocious beast sealed for ten thousand years!

“Warning! Nine Nether Demon Chi attack! Contains Netherworld Power! Can corrode the Divine Soul and freeze Qi and blood!”

The System's alarm blared urgently.

Lin Jingyu's eyes, far from showing fear, erupted with an even more blazing Battle Intent! Facing this terrifying bone claw that tore through space, he neither dodged nor retreated. He lowered his stance, stood firm, and clenched his right fist!

Muscles intertwined like ancient Dragon pythons. Beneath his dark golden skin, millions of pounds of brute force erupted! At the tip of his fist, the air was compressed to the extreme, letting out a groan of unbearable strain!

“Boom!!!”

The dark golden iron fist and the pale bone blade collided fiercely!

A deafening explosion, like metal clashing, erupted! A visible shockwave spread out in a ring, instantly leveling several yards of the hard demonic rock deep underground!

Violent air currents swept up a sky full of shattered rocks!

Lin Jingyu's figure swayed slightly, and the ground beneath his feet collapsed with a rumble! But he didn't retreat a single step!

In contrast, at the tip of the bone blade where it met his fist, a subtle crack appeared!

The Nine Nether Demon Chi let out an angry and shocked hiss, seemingly unable to believe that its sharp claw had been met head-on by the fist of an “ant”!

“Is that all the strength you have?” Lin Jingyu shook his wrist, feeling the bone-chilling cold and slight numbness from his fist. He grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth. “It's my turn!”

His Qi and blood roared like an enraged Dragon within him, and the Primordial Unity Qi Art circulated wildly! He took a step, activating Movement Technique! His figure instantly vanished!

The Nine Nether Demon Chi's scarlet giant pupils suddenly constricted! Its vast Divine Sense had once again lost its target!

“Om!”

Lin Jingyu's figure appeared like a ghost, without warning, at the Demon Chi's relatively vulnerable neck! Without any fancy moves, it was another punch! Millions of pounds of immense force converged at a single point, fiercely smashing into the neck covered with dense bone scales!

“Dong!!”

Like a heavy hammer striking a drum! A dull, massive sound echoed deep underground!

The Demon Chi's massive head was slammed violently to the side! Several hard bone scales shattered, revealing the wriggling dark flesh beneath!

Issuing a painful roar, its thick tail, carrying immense power, swept over like a collapsing mountain pillar, attempting to crush this annoying “bug”!

Lin Jingyu's eyes were cold, and his figure blurred again! Space rippled, and he had already appeared directly above the Demon Chi's enormous head!

“Get down here!” A furious roar, like thunder!

He raised his right leg high, muscles bulging, as if cast from divine metal!

Immediately, a wildly violent axe kick, tearing through the air with the terrifying might of a falling meteor, slammed fiercely onto the center of the Demon Chi's head!

“Crack—Boom!!!”

A spine-chilling sound of bone cracking and a massive impact sound exploded simultaneously!

The Nine Nether Demon Chi's mountain-like head was violently forced downwards by this terrifying axe kick, which contained millions of pounds of brute force!

The hard skull instantly collapsed in a large section! Its massive body lost balance and crashed to the ground with a rumble! Kicking up a sky full of dust and shattered rocks!

“Ding! Severely wounded the 'Nine Nether Demon Chi (Peak of the Divine Treasure Realm)'! Target's Divine Soul is shaken!”

The System prompt was cold.

In the dust, the Demon Chi let out an earth-shattering roar of pain, its scarlet vertical pupils burning with madness and venom! Its massive body struggled violently, trying to get up, but the intense pain in its head delayed its movements for a moment!

This moment was enough for Lin Jingyu!

A cold light burst from his eyes! His thoughts raced!

“System! Consume 30,000 evolution points! Breakthrough to the Marrow Cleansing Realm!”

“Ding! Consumed 30,000 evolution points!”

“Realm Breakthrough: Tendon Changing Realm First Level → Marrow Cleansing Realm First Level!”

“Remaining evolution points: 5750 points!”

Boom—!!!

An indescribably vast power, like a volcano dormant for ten thousand years, erupted from the deepest part of Lin Jingyu's body!

His pores instantly spewed out a thick, dark golden Qi and blood that was impossible to dissipate!

This Qi and blood, like substantial wolf smoke, shot skyward, carrying a terrifying aura as hot as the scorching sun and as heavy as mercury, instantly piercing through the layers of rock in the demonic lair, forming a dark golden light pillar several yards in diameter that shot straight into the clouds!

Within the light pillar, faint sounds of Dragon roars and elephant trumpets echoed through heaven and earth!

Lin Jingyu's muscles, tendons, internal organs, and even the most minute bone marrow were undergoing a world-shaking transformation at this moment!

Impurities were burned away, and his vitality, recovery power, and endurance surged geometrically! His strength, on top of the original millions of pounds, climbed madly!

His bones emitted a jade-like luster, becoming even tougher than refined gold!

His blood flowed like mighty rivers, roaring with boundless vitality!

His dark golden skin deepened in color, as if covered by a layer of indestructible divine armor!

Marrow Cleansing and blood transformation! A complete metamorphosis!

“Roar!!” The Nine Nether Demon Chi felt a fatal threat! Ignoring the severe pain in its head, it forcibly raised its head, and its giant maw, filled with fangs, suddenly opened!

A Nine Nether Demonic Breath, far thicker, colder, and seemingly capable of freezing time and space than before, surged forth like a destructive torrent towards Lin Jingyu, who was at the center of the transformation!

Wherever it passed, space itself condensed into black ice crystals!

This innate demonic breath, containing the terrifying power it had accumulated from being sealed for ten thousand years, was enough to instantly freeze and annihilate a Divine Treasury Realm expert!

However—

Lin Jingyu, at the center of the transforming light pillar, suddenly opened his eyes!

At this moment, his pupils were no longer purely golden, but like molten dark golden magma, flowing with an indestructible divine radiance!

Facing the destructive demonic breath that froze time and space, a hint of arrogant disdain for all things appeared on his face!

He slowly raised his right hand, which had just completed its transformation.

His five fingers spread open!

He didn't activate any Cultivation Technique; it was simply the Protective Aura, refined to the extreme, that his Physical Body spontaneously formed after breaking through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm!

A thick, solid, dark golden divine light shield instantly enveloped his entire body!

“Chi—!!!”

The torrent of Nine Nether Demonic Breath, capable of freezing and annihilating a Divine Treasury, fiercely impacted the dark golden light shield!

There was no earth-shattering explosion!

Only a grating sound of intense corrosion and freezing!

Black ice crystals spread wildly, attempting to freeze and erode the light shield!

But the dark golden Protective Aura was like an eternal, unyielding divine mountain! No matter how violently the demonic breath washed over it, or how the ice crystals spread and corroded, the light shield remained unmoving!

The dark golden divine radiance flowed on its surface, firmly isolating all corrosive power, not even stirring a ripple!

“Break!”

Lin Jingyu uttered a cold word.

His raised right hand, facing the surging demonic breath torrent, suddenly clenched into a fist!

“Boom!”

The dark golden Protective Aura enveloping his body suddenly expanded outwards!

A pure, domineering, and incomparably fierce terrifying power erupted!

The Nine Nether Demonic Breath torrent, thick as ink and capable of freezing time and space, was like being directly struck by an invisible giant hammer!

“Bang!!!”

It instantly exploded! Turning into scattered black ice shards and chaotic Demonic Qi filling the sky!

Within the light shield, Lin Jingyu was completely unharmed!

Feeling the hundreds of millions of pounds of immense force surging like a tsunami within him, and the endless vitality brought by his complete metamorphosis, his gaze, like two unsheathed divine weapons, locked onto the terrified Nine Nether Demon Chi below.

“Now,” Lin Jingyu's voice was like clashing metal, carrying supreme majesty, “it's your turn.”

He took a step, and space rippled beneath his feet, his figure instantly vanishing!
