Chapter 32: Hundredfold Return, Chaos Sword Physique!

Boom!

The broadsword gathered power and slashed down violently at the Profound Concealment Formation.

The great Formation trembled, but there was no sign of damage at all.

Li Xuanfeng looked at this scene with a calm expression. The color of his fate predicted good and bad fortune; as long as the Chaos color remained unchanged, he would never be in danger!

Yuan Ting's current strength was indeed above his, but that didn't mean he could kill him, nor did it mean he could even injure him.

"I'll see how long this Formation of yours can hold out!"

The broadsword, carrying immense power, hacked down strike after strike.

The surrounding trees were uprooted by the dissipating shockwaves and ground into powder.

The entire hilltop became barren under Yuan Ting's continuous hacking.

However, the Profound Concealment Formation remained resilient!

Yuan Ting worked tirelessly, continuing to break the Formation.

After dozens of consecutive attacks, a crack finally appeared on the transparent energy shield.

"Hahahaha, good, good, good!"

"Your Formation is finally about to give way!"

Yuan Ting laughed wildly.

Boom! Boom!

Rumbles echoed from the sky.

Xu Miaozhen and Yuan Xiao were locked in a fierce battle; the dissipating shockwaves alone were enough to blow any Qi Cyclone Realm Cultivator into a bloody mist!

Ordinary Spirit Sea Realm Cultivators would never dare to approach their battlefield.

If the battlefield shifted from the sky to the ground, who knows how many hilltops would be leveled!

Judging from the state of the battle, Xu Miaozhen was at a disadvantage.

Moreover, as Yuan Xiao became more familiar with his own power, Xu Miaozhen's disadvantage became increasingly obvious.

Originally, the gap between the Core Condensation Realm and the Qi Sea Realm was enormous!

Xu Miaozhen was able to fight across levels mainly by relying on the Great Desolate War Physique!

The fact that she hadn't been killed by Yuan Xiao, who was at the third level of the Core Condensation Realm, would be enough to shock the world if word got out!

"I didn't expect that I would actually encounter a peerless Prodigy like you in my lifetime!"

"If you don't die young, your future achievements might be beyond my imagination!"

"However, since we are already enemies, you must die. The more of a Prodigy you are, the more you deserve to die!"

Yuan Xiao's voice echoed high in the sky.

Xu Miaozhen's strength didn't just make him wary; it made him feel horrified and terrified!

If she could fight him like this now, wouldn't he be easily killed in an instant if she were allowed to Breakthrough to the Core Condensation Realm?

At the thought of that scene, his desire to kill Xu Miaozhen became even stronger!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Longsword and spear clashed, with surging energy rampaging.

Xu Miaozhen began to retreat steadily.

If this continued, she would likely truly get injured.

"Is it really still not enough?"

Xu Miaozhen felt unwilling.

Ever since she began cultivating, she had possessed outstanding talent and had never suffered a single defeat.

Many enemies one, two, or even three Realms higher than her had fallen beneath her spear!

The so-called Geniuses in others' mouths only stood to be killed in an instant when at the same level as her!

She knew her own talent and strength well!

She also firmly believed that she would soar to the heights and become a truly top-tier expert in the world!

But now, she was about to face her first defeat!

Even though this enemy was one major Realm and two minor Realms higher than her!

It would be enough to shock the world if word got out.

But she wasn't satisfied; what she wanted was to kill Yuan Xiao with her spear and avenge her deceased clanswoman!

However, she had to face reality.

Before breaking through to the Core Condensation Realm, she did not possess the strength to kill a third-level Core Condensation Realm Cultivator!

"Do I really have no choice but to flee?"

Taking one of Yuan Xiao's Sword Qi cascades head-on, Xu Miaozhen's figure flew backward into the distance.

Scanning the area, she saw Deacon Sun, covered in blood and liable to be killed at any moment.

She also saw the Formation that Yuan Ting had hacked cracks into.

Xu Miaozhen was unwilling, yet felt powerless.

She couldn't defeat Yuan Xiao, and she certainly couldn't save the others.

"In the end, it's because I'm not strong enough!"

Xu Miaozhen bit her lip and gripped her spear tightly; being unable to avenge her clanswoman made her feel deeply remorseful.

Buzz!!!

Just then, however, a majestic aura surged into the sky, as if something dormant was gradually Awakening.

Everyone was drawn by this sudden disturbance.

They looked toward the hilltop where the Profound Concealment Formation was located.

"That is…"

Yuan Xiao's pupils constricted.

He saw a terrifying Sword Intent surge from the hilltop, piercing straight into the clouds!

It was as if a Peak master of the Dao of the sword, who had been sleeping here for many years, had awakened.

This Sword Intent wasn't harmful, but it was so majestic and sharp that it inspired awe.

"Is this a Physique Awakening?"

Xu Miaozhen recalled some legends.

…

Inside the Profound Concealment Formation.

Wei Qingyan successfully refined the essence of the Nine-Star Sword Grass, Awakening the dormant Supreme Sword Physique.

At the very moment the sword Physique awakened, her body underwent a world-shaking transformation.

The hidden power surged out entirely, tempering and cleansing her Physical Body at an extremely fast speed!

At the same time, her Realm also began to climb steadily.

Seventh level of the Spirit Aperture Realm!

Eighth level of the Spirit Aperture Realm!

Ninth level of the Spirit Aperture Realm!

And then…

First level of the Qi Cyclone Realm!

Second level of the Qi Cyclone Realm!

Third level of the Qi Cyclone Realm!

…

Eighth level of the Qi Cyclone Realm!

Her cultivation continued to rise until it reached the eighth level of the Qi Cyclone Realm before stopping!

A single Awakening had directly transformed her!

As a Person of Destiny, the terror of a powerful Physique finally revealed itself at this moment!

"It's a success!"

Feeling the immense changes brought about by her transformation, Wei Qingyan could not hide her excitement.

"I can finally… finally narrow the gap between me and Senior Brother!"

Wei Qingyan's pretty face flushed.

"Very good, very good. With your current Physique strength, you can withstand more of my power. Taking you and your Senior Brother away from here will be no problem at all!"

The voice of the Sword Spirit rang out in Wei Qingyan's mind.

She was also happy for Wei Qingyan.

"Your Senior Brother has a mysterious origin. Now that you have the Supreme Sword Physique, you can finally chase after his footsteps!"

The Sword Spirit said with gratification.

Buzz!!!

However, just as her voice fell.

An even more majestic and vast aura surged into the sky!

It pierced straight through the firmament, tearing the clouds asunder!

It was an indescribable, terrifying aura that seemed to come from the ancient primordial era, from within the endless Chaos!

In a daze, it seemed as if a primordial ancient sword was releasing boundless Sword Intent within the endless Chaos before the birth of the world!

Everyone, including Xu Miaozhen and Wei Qingyan, felt an urge to kneel and prostrate themselves in worship!

"This… what's going on?!"

"What… exactly… happened?!"

Wei Qingyan and the Sword Spirit were both stunned.

Because the source of this terrifying aura was none other than Li Xuanfeng!

At this moment, Li Xuanfeng's eyes were tightly shut as he underwent a supreme baptism!

[Ding! Wei Qingyan has awakened the Supreme Sword Physique. With the hundredfold return, you have obtained and awakened the Chaos Sword Physique!]

These were the lingering echoes still resonating in Li Xuanfeng's mind!

The System judged that his participation in the event of Wei Qingyan's Supreme Sword Physique Awakening reached one hundred percent!

In Li Xuanfeng's view, the System's evaluation of participation was somewhat "overvalued."

But this was exactly what he wanted!

Since it could be a hundredfold return, he didn't want it to be ninety-nine fold!

The Chaos Sword Physique seemed to contain some kind of primordial power, performing a rapid sublimation and baptism of Li Xuanfeng's body!

Li Xuanfeng could clearly sense that process of rapid transformation and sublimation!

Just like Wei Qingyan, his Realm also climbed at this moment.

Second level of the Spirit Sea Realm!

Third level of the Spirit Sea Realm!

Fourth level of the Spirit Sea Realm!

…

Eighth level of the Spirit Sea Realm!

Ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm!

His cultivation continued to climb until it reached the Peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm before Li Xuanfeng's advancement stopped.

"Ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm?!"

"This is impossible?!"

"How is this possible?!"

Whether it was Fan Jie, Yuan Ting, and Yuan Xiao, or Xu Miaozhen, Wei Qingyan, and the Sword Spirit.

Everyone looked at Li Xuanfeng in disbelief, sensing that genuine and majestic aura of the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm!

"It's fake!"

"Don't you dare think you can deceive me!"

"Do you think that by playing these tricks, I'll be afraid of you and just let you escape?!"

After feeling the terrifying aura at close range and nearly falling to his knees, Yuan Ting forced his back straight.

He was about to raise the broadsword in his hand.

However, Li Xuanfeng's aura began to change again!

[Ding! Wei Qingyan's cultivation has significantly increased, breaking through to the eighth level of the Qi Cyclone Realm. With the hundredfold return, you have broken through to the third level of the Core Condensation Realm!]

The System notification sounded once more.

Pure and majestic energy descended out of thin air once again!

Li Xuanfeng's Realm began to climb once more!
