Chapter 511 - 34: Breakthrough to the Eighth Layer
"Impossible?!"
High in the sky,
Xiao Chenyang’s body, with almost no power to resist, was slammed down by an invisible, giant hand!
Under the bombardment of that irresistible, invisible force,
he coughed up mouthful after mouthful of blood,
like a fly, his figure was crushed and slapped to the ground!
BOOM!!!
The entire pool trembled violently,
and in the central area,
an enormous, sunken Palm Seal eight or nine zhang in diameter had formed!
Xiao Chenyang’s figure was at the very center of that massive Palm Seal.
HISS!
Seeing this, the surrounding Immortal Sect Disciples were first stunned, then gasped in unison!
One move.
He was defeated in just one move?!
Just now,
weren’t they evenly matched in their exchange?
How was Xiao Chenyang suddenly defeated in a single blow?
Moreover,
one had to know that this Spirit Transformation Pool was paved with Cyan Gang Jade!
That was a material said to be so tough that even an expert who had just broken through to the Divine Travel Realm might not be able to leave a mark on it!
But now,
under that single palm strike,
a massive Palm Seal had actually appeared?!
What kind of joke was this?!
The surrounding Immortal Sect Disciples all stared wide-eyed, their faces showing an unprecedented level of horror!
"You... the Pow-Power of Space?!"
In the center of the Palm Seal on the ground,
Xiao Chenyang was half-kneeling, blood pouring from his mouth. His aura had become chaotic, and it was clear he was seriously injured.
But at this moment, he had no mind to worry about his injuries.
He was staring intently at Shen Changchuan not far away, his eyes bloodshot.
As one of the Seven Immortal Sect Sons,
his knowledge was never lacking.
Just now,
the power that had effortlessly torn apart his killing move and then easily suppressed him was clearly the Power of Space!
That was a mighty force only a Profound Pill Realm Zhenren could control!
In the face of power of that magnitude,
Xiao Chenyang was not surprised that he had been so easily and miserably defeated.
The Power of Space,
for a Soul Emergence Realm Cultivator like him, was a completely irresistible, crushing force.
But he simply could not understand,
how Shen Changchuan, a mere Soul Emergence Seventh Layer cultivator, could possibly wield such power!
Was that kind of power something a Soul Emergence Realm Cultivator could even grasp?
That’s impossible!
"A supreme treasure? A Secret Treasure? Or a Jade Talisman sealing the power of a Profound Pill Realm Zhenren?"
The surrounding Immortal Sect Disciples
all turned their gazes to Shen Changchuan,
their faces filled with shock.
Their Heart Spirits wavered, and a trace of fear crept into their hearts.
In response,
Shen Changchuan’s expression didn’t change much.
He glanced at Xiao Chenyang in the center of the Palm Seal, then slowly drew his hands back into his sleeves.
The outcome was decided.
There was no need to strike again.
This was the Immortal Sect,
not the wilderness.
Under the watchful eyes of all, conflicts could happen between fellow disciples,
but it wouldn’t escalate to a life-and-death struggle where one would kill a fellow sect member.
Teaching the other party a profound lesson was enough for now.
With such injuries, Xiao Chenyang’s opportunity in the Spirit Transformation Pool this time could be considered completely wasted.
Shen Changchuan no longer paid him any mind
and instead began to ponder.
’The insights I gained while riding my master’s flying ship didn’t lead to a transformation, but they did allow me to grasp some of the Spatial Power of the Void Escape Gu.’
’Now I can barely manage to shape and control this Power of Space.’
’However, a spatial attack using the Void Escape Gu has an excellent first-encounter kill effect on an unaware enemy. With the might of the Power of Space, it’s a complete Dimensional Strike, an easy crush.’
’But once this technique becomes known, it will be easy for others to find a way to counter it.’
’This spatial impact isn’t truly a power I have mastered yet... I can’t lock on with my Divine Sense, so as long as someone is fast enough, they can still easily dodge it.’
Shen Changchuan’s eyes flickered.
He had, in fact, long been aware of this.
Ultimately, he had to work hard to integrate it into his magic techniques.
Only then,
could he lock onto an enemy with his Divine Sense during an attack, and even track the attack itself, making it difficult for the enemy to escape.
Just as these thoughts flashed through Shen Changchuan’s mind,
BUZZ!
The entire Blessed Land Space began to tremble.
Wisps of Spirit Charm began to seep out from the void, and a Jade Liquid, like molten gold, started to rise within the pool.
At the same time,
from within the void,
that invisible pressure began to gradually intensify.
The Spirit Transformation Pool,
was starting!
At this moment,
the same thought arose in everyone’s mind.
They all reacted at once,
leaping up like startled rabbits and swiftly flying back toward the positions they had previously occupied.
Within the palm-shaped crater,
Xiao Chenyang struggled to his feet, panting heavily, his bloodshot eyes locked on Shen Changchuan.
His eyes burned with monstrous hatred.
However,
he was not completely consumed by his anger.
He turned and ran toward another, extremely remote and small spiritual platform.
He had no choice.
In his current state,
he couldn’t even defeat the weakest person here,
let alone Shen Changchuan.
If he continued to get entangled, he would only end up completely wasting his first opportunity to enter the Spirit Transformation Pool.
The loss would be far too great.
"Shen Changchuan, I’ll remember this!"
Burning with rage, Xiao Chenyang landed on the smallest spiritual platform and sat down cross-legged, his gaze still locked on Shen Changchuan, radiating monstrous hatred.
Beside Shen Changchuan,
the two Soul Emergence Eighth Layer Peak Immortal Sect Disciples exchanged a look, and one could clearly see them both let out a long sigh of relief.
As for Xiao Chenyang’s resentful gaze,
Shen Changchuan paid it no mind.
He was just a loser.
The more they cultivated, the wider the gap between them would grow.
Not worth dwelling on.
In comparison,
advancing his Cultivation Realm was far more important to him right now.
Soon,
Shen Changchuan calmed his mind.
And at that moment,
pools of Spiritual Liquid like gilded Jade Liquid rose from the pool, reflecting dazzling golden rays of divine light that filled the sky!
Soon,
Shen Changchuan felt as if he had sunk into a warm ocean,
an ocean of pure Spiritual Qi gathering around him.
The Dao’s charm rippled between heaven and earth,
and his consciousness,
attained an unprecedented clarity. As far as his thoughts could reach, it was as if he could see the magnificent heavens and earth!
Correspondingly,
the vast Magical Power within him began to boil, becoming more active than ever before!
Shen Changchuan focused his Heart Spirit,
and, following the sympathetic resonance and enlightenment between heaven and earth, entered a deep state of Cultivation.
Time trickled by,
and after an unknown amount of time,
BOOM!!!
The bottleneck of the Soul Emergence Seventh Layer Peak shattered in an instant!
