Chapter 219: Chapter 118: The Enhancement to the Vajra Undying Body from Entering the Realm of Strength, and Can Duan Tianhong Be Killed With a Single Palm?

The air around his fist began to twist, radiating a heart-stopping pressure.

"Hah!"

Chu Fan shouted, and with a single step forward, the ground trembled slightly.

His right fist shot out like a submerged dragon bursting from the water, slamming into the center of the giant boulder.

There was no explosive CRACK as expected, only a deep, muffled BOOM, like distant thunder.

Where his fist struck, the hard Lying Bull Green Granite seemed to have been hit by a meteorite.

The cowhide wrapped around it first showed a clear fist print, followed by a series of CRACKS echoing from within the rock.

RUMBLE—

The boulder could hold no longer. With a deafening shatter, it collapsed, crumbling into a pile of rubble.

Chu Fan retracted his fist, standing still as he slowly let out a long breath. He stared at the scene before him, his eyes shining brightly.

There wasn’t a single scratch on his fist, only a lingering warmth from the discharged power.

But the realization dawning in his heart was more shocking than the pile of rubble before him.

The greatest benefit of this breakthrough wasn’t that his qi and blood had transformed into precisely controllable Force, but the immense impact it had on the power of his Vajra Undying Body!

In the past, he had relied on the formidable physique and immense strength from his Vajra Undying Body to kill opponents above his Realm. It had always looked easy, but in truth, he was mostly just using his tough body and brute strength to overwhelm them, combined with the element of surprise.

The power hidden within his body was like a vast ocean. Previously, he could only use the crashing waves on the surface. They looked fierce, but lacked finesse, preventing him from mobilizing his true, underlying power.

Now, having entered the Entering the Realm of Strength, his ability to control his power down to the finest detail, with Microscopic precision, was like being given a key to a door—a door to meticulously channel that vast ocean of power inside him!

This wasn’t just useful for the newly generated Powerful Qi, but also for the immense power of the Vajra Undying Body hidden deep within his flesh and bones!

It was like a brute who only knew how to swing a sledgehammer suddenly learning the delicate touch needed for an embroidery needle.

The sledgehammer was still just as mighty, but now he could apply its power with precision, drawing on deeper, stronger reserves. He could make his Force hard or soft, heavy or light, fast or slow, producing infinite variations.

It was also like business capital...

When an ordinary Martial Artist broke through to the level of Entering Force, it was like starting with ten taels of silver as capital. Even if they doubled it, they would only gain another ten taels. It was progress, but ultimately limited.

But Chu Fan, with his Vajra Undying Body, had a foundation as vast as ten thousand taels of silver. When he doubled his capital, he gained another ten thousand taels!

The increase in his strength from this breakthrough wasn’t a simple case of addition; it was a qualitative transformation, his entire foundation magnified many times over!

Though it was just one Realm advancement, for him, the resulting leap in strength was far, far greater than for any of his peers!

The dust slowly settled. Chu Fan stood amidst the rubble, his heart burning with excitement.

He bent down, picked up a fist-sized fragment of the Lying Bull Green Granite, and held it in his palm.

With a mere thought, a wisp of impossibly fine and gentle Powerful Qi, wrapped in a sliver of deeper physical power, seeped from his palm. Like the most delicate Engraving Knife, it bored into the stone.

The Powerful Qi followed the grain of the stone, tapping and vibrating gently, with absolute finesse.

A moment later, he opened his hand.

The once rough, angular fragment was now perfectly smooth and round, like a natural river pebble.

Even more astonishingly, a tiny hole had been bored through its center, running from one end to the other, its edges as smooth as jade.

To turn the hardest Force into the softest touch, to handle the heavy as if it were light, to perform such delicate work on the hardest of materials!

This feat pleased him even more than shattering the great boulder!

’In the past, I mostly relied on the surprise factor of my Vajra Undying Body, along with the offensive and defensive techniques of my Twelve Forms Fist and Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand, both mastered to Perfection and having Broken their Limits.’

A realization suddenly dawned on Chu Fan. ’Now that I’ve reached the Entering the Realm of Strength, I can control my power with absolute precision. The shift between hard and soft is entirely up to my will. And when that’s combined with the profound foundation of my Vajra Undying Body...’

He could almost see it: in future fights, he could be like a monolithic boulder, crushing opponents with absolute power, or he could be like flowing water, using finesse to neutralize any attack.

When he was hard, he would be like thunder shaking the heavens.

When he was soft, he would be like a spring breeze dissolving into rain.

His opponents would never be able to fathom the depths of his power.

The sun grew hotter, stretching his shadow long across the rubble.

Chu Fan stood quietly for a moment before his body began to move, whirling across the clearing as he executed the well-practiced Twelve Forms Fist.

The moment his Fist Momentum unfurled, it was completely different from before!

Previously, practicing this fist art was about refining his vital energy and tempering his body. The Fist Momentum was fierce, but there was always a sense of sluggishness, a feeling of surging power he couldn’t fully control.

But now, Chu Fan felt the Powerful Qi in his body was perfectly fluid and integrated. Whatever his mind willed, his Powerful Qi instantly followed.

"ROAR!"

He threw a punch like a tiger charging down a mountain, and a faint, low roar seemed to echo through the air.

The punch was as fast as lightning—far faster than when he was in the Bone Tempering Realm!

What was even more terrifying was the power concentrated at the tip of his fist. Not only was it incredibly fierce, but it was also condensed to the absolute limit, with barely any of it dissipating.

As the wind from his fist swept by, it compressed and tore the air, producing a short, sharp shriek.

He spun, becoming like a graceful crane spreading its wings, the Powerful Qi at his fingertips pulsing in and out...

When gentle, it felt like cotton brushing against the skin. But when he exerted force, it was like a steel needle piercing through.

The transition between hard and soft occurred in the blink of an eye, completely smooth and effortless.

After finishing the set, Chu Fan relaxed his stance, steam rising from his body and a bright light shining in his eyes.

’It’s the same Twelve Forms Fist, but the power and precision are on a whole different level. There’s simply no comparison.’

He sighed internally. ’After reaching the Entering the Realm of Strength, my control over my power is perfect. Every ounce of strength is used with maximum efficiency. My speed, power, and versatility have all skyrocketed!’
