Chapter 513: Chapter 290: Wind, Thunder, Water, and Fire—The Tribulation Seed Is Undying! (2)

After approximately two hours, the Exotic Golden Bell Shield reached the realm of 11th Realm Earth-Shattering.

In the world of martial arts, 11th Realm Earth-Shattering is yet another dividing line.

Because reaching 11th Realm Earth-Shattering gives martial arts a touch of transcendence.

Above the 11th Realm Earth-Shattering, one moves towards the extraordinary.

Therefore, the training time required to advance beyond 11th Realm Earth-Shattering is significantly longer than before reaching it.

The Exotic Golden Bell Shield at 11th Realm Earth-Shattering, if fully unleashed, stands as tall as a three or four-story building.

The massive blood-gold shield stands protectively over Su Que, inscribed with menacing beast totems, exuding a powerful aura.

Su Que deactivated the blood-gold shield, then instructed the Dark Clone to perform the Exotic Golden Bell Shield.

Immediately, a glimmer of blood appeared on the Dark Clone, then expanded outward.

A blood-gold shield as tall as a three or four-story building suddenly appeared, protecting the Dark Clone.

Under Su Que’s command, the blood-gold shield suddenly contracted, turning into a five-inch-thick blood-gold barrier, wrapping around the entire Dark Clone.

Su Que clenched his fists, assuming the stance of the Dark Evil Fist, as a surge of Dark Qi rose around him, his fists wreathed in the thickest Dark Qi, resembling flames leaping upwards.

Concentrating on two tasks simultaneously, Su Que executed the Dark Evil Fist himself while manipulating the Dark Clone to perform the Exotic Golden Bell Shield, engaging in a fierce battle.

Since the Dark Clone was under his control, he was aware of its techniques.

Thus, his confrontation with the Dark Clone was not about exchanging blows and countering moves.

He and the Dark Clone were only trading fists!

With his fists fueled by Dark Evil Fist Force, and the fists enveloped by the Power of the Exotic Golden Bell Shield, countless fist shadows appeared, colliding with each other!

The sound of fists exploding was even denser than raindrops, echoing endlessly on the deserted island.

The collision of Power generated gusts of wind, radiating outward from the point of impact, blowing in all directions!

The turbulent wind lifted up dust, and the previously calm ocean churned with massive waves.

Su Que glanced at his attributes and saw the progress of Dark Evil Fist’s Seven Heavens was steadily increasing.

After more than two more hours, he executed Dark Evil Fist’s Seven Heavens and shattered the Exotic Golden Bell Shield of his Dark Clone with one punch!

’A breakthrough!’

He checked his attributes.

Dark Evil Fist’s Seven Heavens (11th Realm Earth-Shattering 1%)[Top Grade Mortal Technique]

The Fourth Heaven of Dark Evil Fist has been mastered as well.

Upon mastering the Fourth Heaven, he gained a new ability, which was to unleash sound wave attacks.

These Dark Sound Waves possess a significant restraining effect on certain protective barriers.

At this moment, Su Que noticed that daylight was gradually approaching.

He considered visiting Li Xuanji that afternoon to see if he had prepared the map.

In the meantime, he started practicing the Seven Injuries Fist.

...

Seven Injuries Fist (12th Realm Unparalleled 3%)[Upper Level Extremist Technique]

After Su Que cultivated the Seven Injuries Fist to this realm, the power of the fist technique increased significantly once again.

By now it was afternoon, so he performed Circulation of the Six Void Skill, instantly surrounding himself with the Circulating Eight Forces and took off, flying towards the Imperial Palace.

Upon arriving at the Imperial Palace, Su Que found Li Xuanji.

Seeing Su Que, Li Xuanji immediately summoned someone to respectfully hand over the map.

The map was marked with various sizes of black dots, indicating the locations of the Chaotic Burial Mound and major tombs.

After Su Que accepted the map, Li Xuanji said, "Mister, Daoist Qingxuan is in seclusion, studying the Secret Manual you provided, but the other Alchemists are still refining elixirs for you."

As he spoke, Li Xuanji summoned a person to present Su Que with elixirs.

These elixirs were concocted by Elder Qingxuan and other Alchemists using Exotic Soldiers and herbs from this small world.

Su Que received them, and Li Xuanji added, "The valley is heavily guarded, and the herbs inside are being carefully tended to, with matured herbs being transported to the Grand Celestial Mountain Range to be refined into elixirs."

Su Que nodded in response, executed Circulation of the Six Void Skill, and left.

His talent was extraordinary, with a photographic memory.

Just a single glance at the map given by Li Xuanji allowed him to memorize all the points marked on it.

One by one, he flew to each marked point, locating each Chaotic Burial Mound and major tomb, absorbing the Death Qi within.

Some major tombs were occupied by martial artists of high martial arts cultivation during their lifetimes.

This allowed him to absorb even more Death Qi from them.

He used Circulation of the Six Void Skill to travel throughout the Qi Kingdom.

In four days, he had visited all the Chaotic Burial Mound and major tombs marked on the map.

His Nine Yin Corpse Claw had reached the 9th Realm Shocking stage as well.

He believed that by combining the Death Qi of the Nine Yin Corpse Claw, the Demonic Qi of the Demon Saber, and the Dark Evil Qi of the Seven Heavens of Dark Evil Fist, he should be able to create a Water Tribulation.

Thus, he found a deserted island at sea.

Focusing on multiple tasks simultaneously, he executed Nine Yin Corpse Claw, Demon Saber, and the Seven Heavens of Dark Evil Fist all at once.

In an instant, bone-white True Qi, ink-like Demonic Qi, and equally pitch-black Dark Evil Qi surged from his hands, converging in the sky.

Then, under his harmonization, these three forces began to slowly merge, forming a vortex in the sky, as thick as water.

These three forces condensed together, emanating an extremely terrifying sensation.

Immediately, Su Que’s mind moved, and the Lifebound Demon Seed in his Dantian rose, traveling up the Ren Meridian, then leaped out from his Baihui Acupoint.

It ascended straight up into the vortex.

Su Que instantly felt a chill and an overwhelming sense of awe fill his spirit and soul.

He navigated the Demon Seed through the three forces.

He could sense that his spirit was becoming stronger.

The feeling of Unity of Spirit and Body was growing more intense.

Hence, he knew that using the True Qi of the Nine Yin Corpse Claw, the Demonic Qi of the Demon Saber, and the Dark Evil Qi of the Seven Heavens of Dark Evil Fist to replace Earth Fiend Profound Water in the Water Tribulation was indeed effective.

After about an hour, he felt his Spiritual Power ascend to a new level, as if his spirit and body were more closely integrated.

Immediately, he checked his attributes.

Realm: Tribulation Seed Realm Seventh Stage: Entering Water

’Indeed, a breakthrough!’

After breaking through this realm, Su Que immediately proceeded towards the next minor realm.

The eighth stage of the Tribulation Seed Realm is called "Burning God."

Based on the memories he obtained from someone from the Upper Realm, he knew that cultivating this technique involved, during the height of summer, having his spirit wander the sky.

Using the spirit to attract Taiyang Qi and slowly scorch the spirit.

Alternatively, it involved deepening his spirit into volcanic magma, using the heat of Earth Core Fierce Fire to temper his spirit.

When Su Que passed the "Wind, Thunder, and Water" tribulations, he did not use conventional methods.

Moreover, his methods provided greater tempering for the tribulation seeds than the conventional ones.

Therefore, when he crossed the "Fire Tribulation," his method would not be ordinary.

He recalled a cultivation technique he knew: Ten Yang Heaven-Burning Technique.

The Power it released should be much stronger than Taiyang Qi or volcanic magma.

Thinking of this, Su Que immediately activated the Ten Yang Heaven-Burning Technique.

’Ten Yang Thunderbolt!’

Instantly, ten huge fireballs appeared around him.

These ten huge fireballs burned with intense flames, emitting high heat, just like ten mini suns.

His Lifebound Demon Seed had not yet been retracted and was still suspended high above.

His mind moved, and these ten massive fireballs ascended to the sky, surrounding his Lifebound Demon Seed.

Immediately, he felt scorching flames roasting his spirit.

The sensation of rising Spiritual Power and Unity of Spirit and Body emerged once again within him.

After another two hours, he felt his spirit had taken on a renewed sense of vitality.

He checked his attributes.

Realm: Tribulation Seed Realm Eighth Stage: Burning God

’Indeed, a breakthrough!’

His tribulation seed appeared solid, emitting a purple radiance in the sky, like a star.

’Next, it’s the Tribulation Seed Realm Ninth Stage: Unity of Spirit and Body.’

Su Que thought to himself and continued cultivating.
