Chapter 66: Cultivating Martial Realm (First Update)

  That violent energy could have killed Ye Chen and he wouldn't have thought it came from that red fruit.

  The red fruit is an extreme existence in the middle, but the energy contained within it is also abnormally terrifying. As he sat cross-legged, the violent energy slowly formed into wind-attributed true qi flowing within his body under the refinement of the Wind God's Seal. Every time he activated the Vermilion Bird Seal, the energy would become extremely violent and run wild everywhere. At this point, Ye Chen had no choice but to abandon the Vermilion Bird Seal and fully activate the Wind God's Seal, while the fire-attributed true qi retreated into the Fire Crystal.

  The wind attribute true energy was constantly condensing and compressing, after several major battles, Ye Chen knew that his cultivation had reached the critical point of breakthrough, and at this moment, the opportunity was to rely on this wild energy to break through to the Lianwu realm, thinking of this, Ye Chen's heart was filled with a burning passion.

  Time slipped away like sand between fingers, unable to be grasped or retained. The long night was endless, but when the first rays of morning sunlight fell on the puddles around the pavilion, the refracted light landed on Ye Chen's slightly delicate face. For an entire night, Ye Chen had been immersed in a sea of cultivation.

  A dull thud sounded in Ye Chen's heart, and the Wind Crystal that contained the true energy of the wind attribute was suddenly enlarged, its size increasing by several times. The wind attribute true energy surged into the crystal like a tidal wave, continuously condensing and compressing, as Ye Chen continued his dry and tedious cultivation.

  The rising sun slowly changed its angle until the scorching sun was high in the sky, and the chaotic and violent energy inside Ye Chen's body gradually dissipated.

  After a few moments, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, and in the dark pupils, flashes of lightning-like brilliance suddenly flashed by. At that moment, the surrounding air was constantly compressed, and then the air transmitted a faint crackling sound, which slowly drifted away with the gentle breeze.

  As Ye Chen's eyes opened, a majestic aura that had been dormant all night burst forth like an awakened fierce general, letting out a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and earth.

  A pale blue wind attribute true energy surged out of the body like a tidal wave, and the surrounding pavilions showed slight tremors. Thick cracks as thick as an arm spread out from Ye Chen's sitting position like spider webs, covering an area of hundreds of meters in diameter. The bluestone floor was directly shattered into countless fragments, bursting open.

  On his left foot were two long swords inserted horizontally, at this moment, the two long swords kept trembling and emitting a clear and crisp sword hum.

  His right hand slowly opened and then tightly grasped, the sound of "pa pa" echoed, his feet kicked off, Ye Chen's figure shot out like an arrow leaving a bowstring, a Wind Breaking Finger strike burst forth, the entire air shook with it, several streams of light shot out from his fingertips and then leapt into the surrounding pavilions.

  BOOM!

  The originally dilapidated attic collapsed with a loud crash under Ye Chen's one-fingered attack, stirring up a cloud of dust.

  At this moment, hundreds of wolf howls came like waves, one after another from all directions, the entire earth shook with it. The lone horned leopard's slightly larger figure leapt out from the crumbling pavilions around, a thick bloody smell rushed forth, its teeth gleaming coldly, looking exceptionally ominous.

  Taking a deep breath of the slightly damp air, Ye Chen's eyes flickered and he narrowed them, muttering to himself: "This is indeed the Refining Martial Realm, it's incredibly powerful!"

  However, inside the dantian, only the true crystal of wind changes, while the true crystal of fire remains in its original state.

  The howling of wolves around fell into Ye Chen's ears like a gentle breeze, ignored.

  A low, rumbling growl slowly approached Ye Chen, his eyes narrowing slightly as he slowly clenched his left fist. The long sword that had been stuck in the ruins suddenly shot out and fell into Ye Chen's hand. With a firm grip on the sword, the true energy inside him began to flow, and for a moment, Ye Chen felt an overwhelming sense of heroism. With a swing of the sword, a deafening explosion echoed through the air.

  A low growl sounded, transformed into a virtual shadow, and frantically jumped into the monster group, sword out, and several beast shadows fell.

  The rumbling sound of the fall was accompanied by the mournful howl of the lone wolf, and Ye Chen's Wind Shadow Technique was executed to perfection. The surrounding lone wolves also gradually felt Ye Chen's terror.

  The shrieking sound continued, and then frantically fled in all directions.

  The long sword shone like light, cutting out several swords. Ye Chen's figure suddenly stopped, leapt up, pulled out another long sword stuck in the ground, vigilantly looked around, and then jumped towards the dilapidated pavilion group, changing direction from time to time, circling around the pavilion group.

  After a while, Ye Chen returned to the original ruins again, his face slightly sinking as he looked at a footprint on the ground, and immediately rushed towards the attic group again.

  "There's an assassin!" In that initial moment, Ye Chen felt a faint aura lurking around him, originally uncertain, but now he could confirm the presence of an assassin nearby. He tightly gripped his long sword and vigilantly looked around in all directions.

  Now Ye Chen is a Refining Martial Realm warrior, and this person can quietly approach himself without making a sound. Naturally, the strength of this person is also that of a Refining Martial Realm warrior. Ye Chen will not be so blindly confident in his own strength. Having just entered the Refining Martial Realm, his foundation is extremely unstable, and he quickly calculates the advantages and disadvantages between him and his enemy in his mind.

  The demonic beasts around them clearly sensed the auras emitted by Ye Chen and the assassin, and frantically fled in all directions.

  The surroundings fell into a dead silence, with only the rustling sound of Ye Chen's boots and the wild grass remaining. Ye Chen's breathing also changed with each step, gradually merging his entire being with the surrounding environment. Suddenly, he halted, and with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, he swiftly slashed out several swords behind him.

  A surging tide of sword energy wildly gushed out, shooting towards the dilapidated pavilion.

  The entire attic was like a lonely boat in the ocean, swaying and shaking under the impact of the sword energy, before crashing down with a loud noise.

  Dust filled the air, a black shadow appeared and disappeared in the dust. Ye Chen's figure suddenly burst out, holding a sword in both hands, his whole body spinning around. The wind broke through his fingers, tightly adhering to the sword body, and then the black shadow let out an angry roar, a large knife emitting true energy suddenly leapt into Ye Chen's upper position.

  The big knife chopped down with a terrifying aura, and the black shadow looked at Ye Chen's pale face and couldn't help but laugh coldly. The knife's momentum changed again, becoming even more terrifying than before.

  The corners of his mouth also curled up with a cold smile, and his body rotated at an angle, the long sword suddenly slashing upwards.

  A clash of forces, a metallic collision rings out.

  Two figures fell backwards, but Ye Chen's figure suddenly stopped, his feet lightly treading, closely following behind the black figure.

  Ye Chen's figure appeared as if sliding on the ground, eerily emerging from behind a dark shadow. His long sword flashed, and the dark shadow's head was severed from its neck.

  With a sudden slap on the back of the black shadow person, Ye Chen's figure once again leapt towards the rear, extremely agilely jumping onto the top of the pavilion. With a serious expression, he gazed at the dilapidated pavilion and said calmly: "Come out!"

  However, in response to Ye Chen, there was only the soft rustling sound of a gentle breeze sweeping across the land. He slowly shook his head, and with a flick of his finger, Ye Chen suddenly pointed to a certain spot in the empty air.

  A few meters ahead, the attic collapsed again with a loud crash, and a figure slowly emerged from the dust...
