Chapter 430 428: Fight Again
Soul Emergence Seventh Layer,
Success!
A powerful aura vibrated in the void, kicking up torrents of visible energy that swept between heaven and earth.
Shen Changchuan's figure floated in mid-air.
He felt as if the entire world had become clearer in this moment.
It was a metamorphosis, from his Magical Power to his Physique, and even his Divine Soul Perception!
No wonder the gap between the Soul Emergence Sixth Layer and the Soul Emergence Seventh Layer was so vast.
Shen Changchuan could feel it.
Having completed his breakthrough, he could now handle several versions of his former self without a problem!
This kind of power, welling up from within,
was completely incomparable to the Soul Emergence Eighth Layer strength he'd forcibly obtained by overloading the Golden Wind Jade Dew Gu!
'It wasn't in vain. I took a huge risk, but I finally succeeded!'
Shen Changchuan let out a long breath.
His tightly wound Heart Spirit relaxed a little.
This battle might have seemed easy, even safe.
But in reality,
the slightest mistake could have resulted in his death!
The only reason it was a close call without any real disaster
was that Qiu Kunsheng was likely wary of the protective measures his master had given him, so he didn't dare to attack with his full strength.
Although,
he was indeed somewhat fearless, relying on the ultimate life-saving trump cards his master had bestowed upon him.
But in a life-or-death battle,
there's no such thing as a sure thing.
If Qiu Kunsheng had been able to erupt with power comparable to the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer in an instant,
then even with his life-saving measures, he might have been killed before he even had a chance to use them!
This battle,
was one where Shen Changchuan had truly gambled with his life!
'Luckily, I won the bet!'
'This success has saved me at least ten, maybe even decades, of hard work!'
Shen Changchuan's heart was filled with joy.
In fact,
before this, Shen Changchuan had already been prepared to be severely injured.
To trade a grievous injury for the opportunity to advance to the Soul Emergence Seventh Layer.
Shen Changchuan felt it was a worthy trade.
With the ultimate life-saving measures from his master, he was highly likely to survive.
What he hadn't expected,
was that Qiu Kunsheng would actually slow his assault out of fear of his trump cards.
In the end, it had played right into his hands!
'After more than ten years, I've finally reached this stage.'
'Next up is the Divine Travel Realm!'
'The Divine Travel Realm! Even in the entire Yuqing Immortal Sect, that's considered the backbone!'
'Only at the Divine Travel Realm can you truly begin to take control of your own life!'
Feeling the immense power within him, Shen Changchuan clenched his fists, his gaze resolute.
Experts of the Divine Travel Realm,
have already begun to transcend the masses, gaining some ability to control their own destiny!
Figures of that caliber,
already possess the qualifications to leave the Southern Great Domain and venture out into the other great domains of the world.
Various thoughts scattered through Shen Changchuan's mind.
But he didn't let his mind wander for long.
He hadn't forgotten,
that right before him,
stood a great enemy!
BANG!
A breath later, with a tremendous roar,
Qiu Kunsheng unleashed the Corpse Refining Sect's ultimate killing move, forcefully shattering the defense constructed by the two Spiritual Artifacts.
The light of the Bronze Bell and the White Jade Heart-Protecting Mirror dimmed rapidly.
Their spirituality was damaged.
They would need to be carefully nurtured for some time.
Shen Changchuan wasn't too concerned.
With a wave of his palm and a turn of light,
the two Spiritual Artifacts that had served him so well were recalled,
lest they be destroyed by Qiu Kunsheng's outburst.
"Good! Very good!"
"To spend one's life hunting geese, only to have your eyes pecked out by one!"
"You actually used me as a whetstone!"
At this moment,
staring at Shen Changchuan, whose aura was surging after his breakthrough, Qiu Kunsheng's expression was so dark you could practically wring water from it.
To become a stepping stone, to be reduced to mere fodder for another's advancement.
This was, without a doubt, a naked humiliation!
"I have you to thank for my success, Senior!"
Shen Changchuan smiled faintly and bowed slightly in a show of politeness.
At this moment, Shen Changchuan's aura had just entered the Soul Emergence Seventh Layer, and the presence around him had not yet stabilized.
It was even a notch weaker than the aura of power approaching the Soul Emergence Eighth Layer that he'd had when forcibly entering an overloaded state with the Golden Wind Jade Dew Gu.
But now, facing Qiu Kunsheng,
he was calm and composed.
The difference was stark.
His previous state was just a forced enhancement via a Secret Technique.
With that rampaging, forcibly enhanced power, he couldn't even use Magic. He could only rely on the most simple and brutal punches and kicks to vent the berserk Magical Power in his body.
Now,
he had officially broken through to the Soul Emergence Seventh Layer and was in near-complete control of its power!
His Magical Power, Physique, and Divine Sense had all undergone a metamorphosis.
The various Perfection Tier Two Magic he had mastered, and even his Divine Seed, were now all usable!
The current Shen Changchuan was, arguably, even stronger than he was just moments ago in the overloaded state from the Golden Wind Jade Dew Gu!
Confidence,
comes from strength!
"Good, good, good!!!"
Qiu Kunsheng laughed in extreme anger, spitting out the word "good" three times.
Then, his face rapidly twisted into a sinister, ferocious mask.
"Let's see if you can still laugh in a moment!"
When he thought of his earlier caution,
the words "too clever for one's own good" echoed in his mind, making Qiu Kunsheng even more furious.
BOOM!!!
Qiu Kunsheng was the first to attack.
His figure shot across the sky like a black bolt of lightning. A world-shaking, sinister Magical Power trailed him like a tidal wave, bearing down on Shen Changchuan with the supreme might to topple mountains and overturn seas!
In that instant,
it was as if the very sky before them was collapsing!
Qiu Kunsheng attacked with his full power, holding nothing back!
His previous, clown-like scheming,
left the current Qiu Kunsheng daring not hold anything back!
He understood deeply.
This brat before him truly was the most demonic prodigy of the current generation, with a terrifying ability to learn in battle!
He had been able to comprehend the power of the Soul Emergence Late Stage during their clash and use it to advance in one fell swoop.
He would surely be able to quickly understand and master the power of the Soul Emergence Seventh Layer as their fight continued!
The longer this dragged on,
the stronger the brat would become!
The only way was to go all out and obliterate him on the spot, before he could grow any stronger!
As for whatever trump cards the brat might still have,
Qiu Kunsheng couldn't be bothered with them anymore!
The more he delayed,
the greater his disadvantage would become!
It was better to risk it all from the start!
"Today, either you die, or I do!"
A black divine light swirled in Qiu Kunsheng's pupils, as if about to devour heaven and earth.
At this moment,
the full might of his Soul Emergence Eighth Layer Late Stage Cultivation Realm was unleashed.
Boundless black Magical Power swept out as if from the Nine Netherworld itself,
shaking the heavens and the earth!
"Bring it on!"
Facing Qiu Kunsheng's cutting edge, Shen Changchuan showed not a hint of fear. Instead, a towering will to fight rose up around him!
Cyan Wood Sword Light—Ninth Layer!
