Chapter 98 Divine Illumination Realm, Grandmaster Achievement

Putting his thoughts aside for the moment, Yan Chu looked ahead with a playful glint in his eyes.

Zhai Jing, this Seventh Realm Grandmaster, had also been cut in two by a single strike.

However, as a Grandmaster, he had managed to evade certain death at the critical moment, though the saber light had sheared off both his thighs.

He dragged his severed torso and fled wildly into the distance.

As expected of a Martial Grandmaster, his vitality was astonishingly robust.

With only half a body left, he had already fled hundreds of zhang relying solely on his True Qi and physical constitution.

However, this was merely a death struggle.

Given enough time, he would inevitably bleed to death unless he found a miraculous healing medicine to stop the bleeding in time.

"Don't run, I'll reattach your legs for you!"

A whirlwind appeared at Yan Chu's feet as he unleashed the Wind-Catching Shadow from the Wind God Leg. With a flash of afterimages, he appeared behind Zhai Jing.

"Spare me!!"

Zhai Jing was terrified out of his wits, and the blood gushing from his severed thighs accelerated significantly.

He had achieved the Grandmaster realm with such difficulty; how could he die like this?

"Great Hero Yan, spare me! I am willing to submit to you as a slave!"

"You are too ugly to be a slave; looking at you makes me nauseous!"

Hum!

Yan Chu's eyes were cold. The deadly saber light reappeared. It was impossible to describe the desolate beauty and brilliance of this strike; it was like the Grim Reaper swinging a scythe, like the Impermanence capturing a soul.

Damn it!

Zhai Jing hated this deeply. A purple light burst from between his brows as he tried to find a flaw in Yan Chu's strike.

Unfortunately, this was destined to be futile.

Although the Divine Saber Slash consisted of only one strike, it fused thousands of variations. It was straight and simple; under this strike, anyone who stood in its way would surely die.

Zhai Jing couldn't avoid this strike even at his Peak, let alone now.

Pfft!

Blood sprayed as the Hidden Sword Palace Grandmaster, Zhai Jing, was split in two from the middle, his eyes still filled with unwillingness.

[Slew a Hidden Sword Palace Grandmaster powerhouse. Extremely satisfying. Experience +10000]

Yan Chu sheathed his saber.

He surveyed the deathly silent Gao Family and turned to leave.

As his killings in the Jianghu grew heavier, his heart became increasingly ruthless.

...

When news of the Gao Family being completely exterminated spread, the entire Linshui Prefecture was shaken. The news spread with the speed of the wind.

Everyone knew that Blade Demon Yan Chu had barely rested for two days before striking again...

In a forest by the Yang River.

It was here that Yan Chu had once saved Su Zhirou's life and helped her achieve the great milestone of transitioning from a maiden to a young woman.

Now, revisiting the old place, he felt many emotions.

[Item: overlord spear]

[Experience Points: 186500]

Yan Chu summoned the panel, his mood excited.

All his Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques had reached Perfection. He originally had over twenty thousand Experience Points left, but after wiping out the Gao Family, his experience had reached an exaggerated figure of over one hundred and eighty thousand.

Now, everything was ready; he was only missing the final push.

"Ding! Detected that the host possesses two types of Internal Skill Mind-Cultivation Techniques. Do you wish to consume 10,000 Experience Points to convert the Nine Yang Internal Skill into the higher-ranked Three Points Returning to Origin Qi?"

It can even be converted?

Yan Chu was delighted; this would save him a lot of experience.

"Convert!"

Boom!

As Yan Chu's words fell, 10,000 Experience Points were deducted, and the masculine and vast Nine Yang True Qi within his body rapidly converted into Three Points Returning to Origin Qi.

The True Qi cultivated from Three Points Returning to Origin Qi was even more overbearing.

During this process, powerful fluctuations continuously erupted from his body, forming a gale that swept outwards.

Gradually, forces of three different attributes shone upon each other within him, circulating back and forth.

One moment, the ground was covered in frost, freezing a radius of one hundred meters into a white expanse.

The next moment, a gale raged, blowing the trees in the entire grove until they swayed wildly.

Then, thick clouds pressed down, shrouding the surroundings in heavy water mist, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.

Finally, the three powers perfectly unified within his body, evolving into an even more powerful internal force.

[Cultivation Technique: Three Points Returning to Origin Qi (Sixth Layer 53410/80000)]

"Hiss... 80,000 Experience Points..."

"Does Grandmaster Perfection require 160,000?"

Just as this thought crossed Yan Chu's mind, another crisp sound appeared in his ears.

"Ding! Detected that the host's Three Points Returning to Origin Qi can consume 10,000 Experience Points to fuse and absorb the Wind God Leg and Heavenly Frost Fist. Do you wish to fuse?"

Damn it!

Yan Chu couldn't help but curse inwardly.

The Wind God Leg and Heavenly Frost Fist were already Martial Skills contained within the Three Points Returning to Origin Qi; now it requires another 10,000 Experience Points to fuse and absorb them?

Yan Chu seriously suspected that the intermediary fee charged by the System was higher than the market price; it definitely took quite a kickback.

"Fuse!"

Although he was gnashing his teeth in hatred, Yan Chu still painfully consumed 10,000 Experience Points and chose to fuse and absorb.

Boom!

As the experience was deducted, the Heavenly Frost Fist and Wind God Leg Martial Skills on the panel automatically disappeared. Countless insights appeared in Yan Chu's mind, and the proficiency of the Three Points Returning to Origin Qi began to rise steadily.

Yan Chu's fists were covered in frost.

He had a feeling that if he threw this punch, the entire river surface for hundreds of meters would be frozen solid.

The Heavenly Frost Fist and Wind God Leg, driven by the Three Points Returning to Origin Qi, were more than a notch more powerful than before.

When the changes stopped, the proficiency of the Three Points Returning to Origin Qi became 76810/80000.

The Fusion of the perfected Wind God Leg and Heavenly Frost Fist caused the Three Points Returning to Origin Qi to increase by over twenty thousand.

Yan Chu felt that his Meridians and acupoints were currently filled to the brim with True Qi, which was about to overflow uncontrollably.

At the Peak of the Sixth Realm, he could advance no further.

Only by breaking through to the Seventh Realm Grandmaster, cultivating Divine Sense, and transforming True Qi into True Essence could he usher in another explosive increase in strength.

"Consume all Experience Points, upgrade the Three Points Returning to Origin Qi for me!!"

Yan Chu's expression was somewhat frantic at this moment; he went all-in on the experience in one go.

The panel blurred slightly, and the experience returned to zero.

Crack!

The sound of something cracking rang out. Yan Chu felt a sharp pain between his brows; his Niwan Palace opened, and his Mental Energy began to surge.

Formless and invisible Divine Sense gathered within the Niwan Palace, vaguely forming a silhouette.

This silhouette was very illusory at first, but it gradually became solid, eventually becoming a miniature version of himself that looked exactly like him.

This was the Primordial Spirit.

Yan Chu's eyes were tightly shut.

At this moment, the vigorous True Qi throughout his body slowly condensed, and the originally mist-like True Qi began to transform into a liquid state.

One drop, two drops, three drops, eventually converging into a heavy rain that fell onto the Qi Sea. The True Qi circulating in his Meridians transformed into True Essence, flowing into the sea like ten thousand rivers returning to the ocean.

The Qi Sea was now truly worthy of its name.

He no longer exuded his Aura outwardly as he did in the Sixth Realm, filled with a sense of oppression.

But only those who had cultivated Divine Sense could see how terrifying he was now; his whole body was like a black hole, constantly and slowly drawing the Origin Qi of heaven and earth into his body to refine.

His Divine Sense spread out, and a radius of several li was completely within his grasp.

Even the buzzing of a mosquito or the swaying of a blade of grass could not escape his Divine Sense.

Swish!

Yan Chu opened his eyes again, and a clap of thunder resounded in the sky.

It actually began to pour with rain from the sky.
