Chapter 220: Chapter 118: The Enhancement to the Vajra Undying Body from Entering the Realm of Strength, and Killing Duan Tianhong with a Single Palm...

A thought came to him, and he turned back into the courtyard.

It was time to test the changes to his Killing Move.

His Killing Move was the Second Limit Break "Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand"!

Chu Fan slowly raised his hands, palms facing each other. An aura colder and more condensed than ever before began to gather in his palms.

As the Heart Method circulated, he could clearly feel the refined Powerful Qi separating from the Qi Blood River within him. It traveled along a unique path through his meridians, transforming into a potent, extremely yin and cold energy as it gathered in his palms.

TCHH TCHH TCHH—

Amidst the soft hissing, the temperature around his palms plummeted. A faint white frost, visible to the naked eye, even formed, swirling around his hands without dispersing.

What was even more startling was that the Cold Qi no longer dissipated or escaped as easily as before. Instead, it condensed entirely onto his palms, as if he were wearing a pair of invisible, crystalline ice gloves!

The Cold Qi was restrained, yet it felt all the more lethal!

’This Cold Qi... It’s more than ten times as condensed!’ Chu Fan was inwardly shaken.

He recalled the time outside the city when he had faced Duan Tianhong, who had already reached the Mortal Transformation realm.

Back then, he was still in the Bone Marrow Forging Realm. Relying on the power of his Vajra Undying Body and the element of surprise, he had landed several consecutive palm strikes with his once-Broken Limit Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand.

But Duan Tianhong had Protective Primordial Qi and was also wearing precious armor underneath. The Cold Palm Force of the Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand was mostly blocked and deflected. Although Chu Fan managed to injure him in the end, it wasn’t very effective and failed to secure victory.

’Back then, my Realm was low, and my Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand had only gone through one Limit Break. The Palm Force was too scattered to penetrate his defenses.’

’But now...’

Chu Fan’s gaze sharpened as he looked toward a thick bluestone block on one side of the courtyard, used for testing techniques.

With a flicker of his body, he executed the Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step, approaching like a phantom. The Extreme Cold Qi gathered in his right palm made his fingertips look as if they were coated in a layer of ethereal blue ice crystals as he silently pressed his hand toward the center of the stone block.

There was no earth-shattering sound...

Only a soft PUFF, like a hot knife slicing through butter.

As the palm landed, a clear Palm Seal, several inches deep, immediately appeared on the surface of the stone block!

The edges of the Palm Seal were as smooth as a mirror!

Even more frightening, a terrifying Cold Qi, centered on the Palm Seal, bored into the stone block and spread outward like a living thing!

KRAK KRAK KRAK...

The faint sound of cracking continuously emanated from within the stone block.

The entire surface of the stone block was quickly coated in a thick layer of white frost, as if it had been frozen in an arctic land for a thousand years!

Chu Fan withdrew his palm and stepped back.

The next moment...

"BOOM!"

The large bluestone block collapsed with a roar right before his eyes, shattering into countless ice-crystal-coated fragments that emanated a chilly vapor!

The fine control over one’s strength from the Entering the Realm of Strength, combined with the boost from the Vajra Undying Body, had unleashed the Extreme Cold Qi of the Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand...

Its power was truly terrifying!

The confidence in Chu Fan’s eyes soared.

’If I were to face the heavily injured Duan Tianhong from that night again, even if he were still wearing his Inner Armor, I could shatter his Primordial Qi within three moves. My Palm Force, as condensed as steel needles and bone-chillingly cold, would pierce his armor and bore straight into his organs, meridians, and bone marrow to take his life!’

Duan Tianhong had already been severely injured that night. His strength was reduced by more than half, and his Protective Primordial Qi was nowhere near as strong as it was at its peak.

’But even if Duan Tianhong were at his peak, with stronger Protective Primordial Qi and greater strength and speed than that night...’

Chu Fan clenched his fists slightly. Feeling the power surging within him and the bone-chilling Cold Qi lingering on his palms, a sense of absolute confidence welled up from his heart.

’With my current Cultivation in the Entering the Realm of Strength, my Second Limit Break Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand, coupled with the foundation of the Vajra Undying Body and my fine control over strength...’

’...killing him would still be quite easy.’

It was as if he could already see it: Duan Tianhong at his peak, standing before him, his vaunted Protective Primordial Qi being pierced and frozen, layer by layer, by the even more condensed and penetrating Extreme Cold Power. Even his Inner Armor would be unable to completely block that all-pervasive, sinister cold...

Chu Fan smiled faintly.

This breakthrough had brought an all-encompassing, overwhelming leap in his strength.

Formidable enemies whom he previously had to fight with all his might, or could only contend with if they were severely injured, were now as fragile as clay chickens and pottery dogs before him.

Chu Fan let out a long, relieved breath. A feeling of exhilaration filled his chest; he had never felt so fulfilled.

This breakthrough wasn’t just about crossing into a new Cultivation Realm. His fighting methods and his very understanding of the Martial Dao had all been transformed and elevated.

He brushed the fine dust from his clothes and began to practice the Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand in the courtyard...

[Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand Experience Points +3]

[Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step Experience Points +1]

The road ahead was still long. But having grasped Microscopic control and now with a preliminary ability to wield the immense potential of his Vajra Undying Body, he had already taken a crucial step on the path of the strong—one that placed him far beyond his peers.

Chu Fan’s confidence had never been greater.

He didn’t feel the least bit tired. His Body Technique grew faster and faster, leaving a series of Residual Images in his wake... 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

He continued until noon.

Footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard.

Only then did Chu Fan show a hint of fatigue and stop his practice.

From his Cultivation last night until now, the most exhausting part hadn’t been practicing the Twelve Forms Fist or the Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand, but the period from last night until dawn when he was breaking through to the Entering the Realm of Strength.

Chu Fan walked into the house, poured a cup of water, and gulped it down. GULP, GULP. He felt incredibly refreshed and satisfied.

"Fan!"

The voice arrived before the person did.

It was Fatty’s familiar, booming voice, tinged with a hint of joy.

Chu Fan looked out the window and saw four people walking over together: Fatty, Jiang Yuanfan, Liang Qiu, and Ling Feng.

Seeing Liang Qiu and Ling Feng, Chu Fan’s gaze flickered.

These two had once been imprisoned in the Seven Stars Gang’s dungeon and had suffered immensely. He had been certain they would die.
