Chapter 1064: Zaohua-Stage Martial Arts Practitioner
For a Martial Arts Practitioner, the Shattered Void Realm was at the Zaohua stage, which was determined by the number of refined acupoints.
In this realm, their fist intention took on a tangible form, enough to tear through the fabric of the void. A Martial Arts Practitioner’s blood qi reached its extreme, which was no longer boiling hot but as still as stagnant water. The body spirits within the acupoints fall into a dormant state without the push of blood qi, ensuring that Martial Arts Practitioners would not harm those nearby simply by existing.
Yet if that blood qi was injected into the acupoints, awakening the body spirits, then their full strength would burst forth, allowing them to manifest the Manly Immortal True Form. This was the pinnacle of self, a doctrine opposite to that of the unity of heaven and man, practiced by the Heavenly and Earthly Immortal lineages.
The Heavenly Immortal lineage harmonized the five elements with their organs, merging elemental energy with their true essence. It was less detailed than the Manly Immortal’s body spirits, but it focused on balancing the internal and the external. But this harmony focused more on qi than on physique. That was why Heavenly Immortals’ bodies were never as unyielding as those of the Manly Immortals.
Qi Xuansu’s bones and muscles crackled like thunder. His body grew to over 5 meters tall, resembling a giant or the Ancient Great Shamans. His presence was terrifying.
Yang E shielded herself with the surging dragon qi.
The next instant, Qi Xuansu moved.
From Yang E’s perspective, Qi Xuansu merely leaned forward slightly, as though preparing to sprint. But that was only an afterimage. The real Qi Xuansu was already upon her, his speed so fast that she could only track him by spiritual sense, not sight.
Qi Xuansu’s punch had no flourish, only brute force with overwhelming blood qi. Wherever it touched, Yang E’s dragon qi melted before him like ice under the sun, dissipating completely.
His devastating blow slowed only a meter before Yang E’s body. In that instant, she condensed her dragon qi to its peak. Soon after, Qi Xuansu’s fist met Yang E’s extended claws.
A visible ripple burst outward from the clash. The ground beneath turned glassy due to Qi Xuansu’s blood qi, which burned at a high temperature.
Though bolstered by dragon qi, Yang E’s five fingers shattered from the punch.
