Chapter 393 - 69: Continuous Breakthroughs! Enemies Meet!

Chapter 393: Chapter 69: Continuous Breakthroughs! Enemies Meet!

Luo Cheng resealed the cave entrance with a massive stone, then sat cross-legged and took out a Meridian Opening Pill.

The Meridian Opening Pill is a Five-star Spirit Medicine.

Consuming the first pill can boost a Tongxuan Realm Martial Artist’s breakthrough success rate by thirty percent.

The second pill by twenty percent!

The third pill by ten percent!

It also brings significant benefits to Awakening Vein Realm cultivators.

“I’ve already advanced to the Awakening Vein Realm. I wonder how effective this pill will be for me!”

With that thought, Luo Cheng swallowed the Meridian Opening Pill in one gulp.

The pill dissolved in his abdomen, releasing a refreshing sensation that instantly spread throughout his body.

Clearing his distractions, Luo Cheng quickly immersed his spirit into the second Essence Energy Spiritual Light.

Not long after, Luo Cheng noticed a brilliant light shining amidst the vast ocean of Essence Energy, remarkably conspicuous.

“So that’s how it works! The Meridian Opening Pill strengthens the Xuan Vein, making it more distinct. This change might be insignificant for others, but for me, it’s a world of difference!”

His heart settled as Luo Cheng immediately focused his mind and began cultivating.

Having previous experience with opening Xuan Veins and with the aid of the Meridian Opening Pill, Luo Cheng’s progress this time was swift.

Within three days, he had completed the cultivation of five Essence Energy Spiritual Lights, leaving only three!

During this period, Luo Cheng also attempted to cultivate the second stage of the All Heavens Dragon Control Technique—the Xuanlong Technique.

Like the True Dragon Technique, the Xuanlong Technique is divided into nine layers.

However, the True Dragon Technique is focused on physical body refinement, enhancing one’s physique to ultimately grant the cultivator True Dragon Power!

The Xuanlong Technique, on the other hand, refines Qi!

It enhances the quality of Essence Energy, and once its nine layers reach perfection, the Qi becomes like a True Dragon—endless and inexhaustible—multiplying combat strength!

Luo Cheng initially thought, given his comprehension, he would quickly grasp its basics.

Unexpectedly, the difficulty of cultivating the Xuanlong Technique was worlds apart from that of the True Dragon Technique!

Despite his aptitude, three days passed without any progress.

“The True Dragon Technique can absorb Martial Souls to speed up cultivation. I wonder if the Xuanlong Technique works similarly…”

The thought flashed through Luo Cheng’s mind.

Unfortunately, there was no opportunity to confirm this for now.

“Forget it, let’s focus on improving my cultivation first! The Xuanyuan Technique can wait.”

Finally, Luo Cheng decisively abandoned the Xuanlong Technique cultivation, consumed a second Meridian Opening Pill, and devoted himself to opening the Xuan Veins.

Seventh vein!

Eighth vein!

Ninth vein!

This time, the speed was even faster.

In just one day, Luo Cheng completed the cultivation of the remaining three Essence Energy Spiritual Lights.

Until now, only half of the second Meridian Opening Pill’s energy had been used!

“Strike while the iron is hot; let’s see how much more progress I can make!”

“Continue!!”

Luo Cheng did not stop and continued cultivating.

With the influence of the pill’s energy, every time the Xuan Veins within the nine Essence Energy Spiritual Lights completed a Grand Circulation, they grew stronger and advanced rapidly!

Eventually, the nine Xuan Veins showed faint signs of perfection—expanding and contracting—with Essence Energy rushing like mighty rivers, crystal clear and flashing light, brimming with spiritual vitality!

The transformation of Essence Energy also refined Luo Cheng’s blood and tempered his body, altering his entire aura, giving him an ethereal and transcendent charm.

At this moment, Luo Cheng’s cultivation had already reached the peak of Awakening Vein Realm First Layer.

The next step would be the Early Stage of Awakening Vein Realm Second Level!

“Let’s give it a try!”

Seizing the residual energy from the Meridian Opening Pill within his body, Luo Cheng determinedly launched an assault toward the Awakening Vein Realm Second Level.

Days passed, and Luo Cheng sat there motionless as if he were a stone, his vitality hidden within.

At the moment the pill’s energy was fully depleted, Luo Cheng finally captured a faint glimmer within the Essence Energy Spiritual Light.

And then!

Boom!

A powerful wave of Essence Energy erupted violently from his body, filling the entire cave.

The air rippled like water, and the formidable aura caused Demon Beasts within several miles to freeze in terror, not daring to make a move.

“Early Stage of Awakening Vein Realm Second Level! Success!”

Luo Cheng opened his eyes, which sparkled brightly like stars!

He hadn’t initially hoped much for this breakthrough attempt.

After all, how long had it been since he advanced to the Awakening Vein Realm?

Not even ten days!

Yet the process was smoother than he imagined, everything falling perfectly into place.

“The Meridian Opening Pill was only part of the equation; it must also be because my foundation is sufficiently strong and my potential immense.”

Luo Cheng analyzed the reasons.

Mere consumption of two Meridian Opening Pills would not be enough for him to progress from Early Stage of Awakening Vein Realm First Layer to the Second Layer within a few days.

Such seamless advancement undoubtedly stemmed from his powerful soul strength.

Not to mention the high quality of his Martial Soul, which allowed him to avoid any bottlenecks.

“It seems I’ve underestimated my potential!”

Luo Cheng smiled faintly.

Everyone believed his Martial Soul awakening had failed, that he would lag behind others step by step after advancing to the Awakening Vein Realm, eventually fading into mediocrity.

Little did they know, this was just the beginning of his path to greatness!

With the continuous growth of his soul power, his future would be unimaginable!

Clenching his fists, Luo Cheng immediately sensed the boundless Essence Energy converging like an abyss within him—agile like a dragon—and the tremendous changes in his physical body, as if completely reborn.

“What immense power!”

Luo Cheng was somewhat astonished.

Since awakening his Martial Soul, he’d been continuously progressing, but none of his previous advancements could compare to this!

It was as if he had undergone a complete metamorphosis!

Every inch of his bones, every fiber of his flesh had been transformed, becoming unbelievably resilient!

Gripping his fist, he felt as though he could punch through the entire heavens and earth!

“If I were to face Hua Jingyang now, I could obliterate him with a casual punch! Even if he wielded the Earth Evil True Fire, it would be utterly futile!”

Luo Cheng’s eyes burned with intensity, and he even felt an impulse to challenge Blood Eagle once more.

To see if he could defeat the Awakening Vein Realm Fourth Layer Peak master head-on!

Shaking his head, Luo Cheng gradually calmed down, his gaze shifting toward the cave entrance.

Sunlight streamed through the cracks in the rocks, radiantly bright.

“After such a long retreat, it’s time to return! Qin Douyuan must be growing impatient. And Xue Yun… I wonder what expression she’ll wear upon seeing that I’m still alive.”

Luo Cheng chuckled coldly, his eyes gleaming with killing intent.

This time, luck had been on his side.

Otherwise, he’d already be lying dead beneath Blood Eagle’s sword!

Clearly, this debt would have to be settled properly!

“Right, time to investigate my soul power.”

Upon advancing to the Awakening Vein Realm, cultivators could utilize their soul power—the most direct application being environmental detection.

Luo Cheng shut his eyes, his golden Sea of Consciousness surging outward.

Buzz!

An intangible wave radiated from between his brows in all directions.

In an instant, the surrounding scenery was mirrored in his mind, clearer than what his eyes could perceive!

Every detail was evident, even the faint flow of Heaven and Earth Essence Energy!

Luo Cheng’s previously sharp perception had been purely instinctual; now, under soul power’s amplification, it expanded infinitely, leaving nothing hidden under its scan.

“Let me see how far I can probe!”

Luo Cheng focused his spirit, letting his soul power seep beyond the cave and spread outward.

In the forest, sunlight danced amidst gentle breezes.

Hundreds of meters away, atop a giant tree, two Three-star Demon Beasts huddled together, enjoying each other’s company and basking in the sunlight at ease.

A tiny insect flew by, only to be blown far away by a sneeze!

Quickly, Luo Cheng’s range exceeded his previous limit of one thousand meters!

Two thousand meters! Three thousand meters! Five thousand meters…

Wait! Someone!

Just as Luo Cheng felt his reach nearing its limits, he suddenly detected two distinct presences. His soul scan locked onto them, and his mind trembled.

Above the forest, two figures floated in midair, flying toward the cave at a steady pace.

The one on the left was a burly middle-aged man carrying a long blade.

The one on the right was a woman, around thirty years old, with fair skin, a graceful figure, and striking beauty. Her eyes emanated a cold detachment, exuding an icy, distant aura!

Peng Shan! Xue Yun!
