Chapter 606 391: Third Marrow Cleansing
Bang!
Above the sea, in the vast sky beside Chen Ku, suddenly a dull sound echoed, followed by the sudden appearance of that extremely beautiful Taoist in black before Chen Ku, pointing a finger.
Underneath this finger, the air suddenly collapsed at her fingertip, shattering airflow, an unstoppable, indefensible aura.
One finger pierced through the air and void.
Facing the sudden emergence of this move from the opponent, Chen Ku was astonished and serious, subconsciously feeling that this finger from the opponent, couldn't be resisted directly.
This must be a special Divine Skill specifically for 'armor-breaking defense,' targeting the defensive Gang Qi of the physical body.
Thus, in a flash.
The speed of his footsteps, unmatched by those of the same level, made his figure seem like a "crackling" instant, a flash of lightning, leaving an extraordinarily clear silhouette of afterimage beneath Sang Hensong's slim finger.
Boom!
Sang Hensong's finger missed, the finger wind pierced through the contour of Chen Ku's afterimage in an instant, sinking into the sea, but the seemingly tiny finger wind followed by causing a terrible energy beneath the sea, comparable to thousands of thunderballs exploding simultaneously.
Rumble!
The sea surged, the frightening mist seemed like a giant dragon reversing its flow toward the firmament, creating wave after wave of aftershocks, the sea surface tossing high and low, akin to the scene of a storm arriving.
"Truly deserving to be ranked among the top five powers in Yin Yang Hall, not to mention the mystical Heavenly Yin Refining Form Technique that has touched upon some mysteries of Primordial Qi, just the power of this 'Armor-Piercing Pointed Wind Finger' Divine Skill alone is astounding."
Watching the duel between two academy's super geniuses.
Beneath the heavenly curtain, the students were also not common folk, observing this battle with appreciation, while commenting and analyzing.
"Indeed, in the Martial Forest, the so-called destructiveness of martial arts is nothing more than a division between point, area, and skill. Some have the power of martial arts vastly on the level of aura, oppressing as they clash with the enemy, like a layer of severe heavyweight suppressing over, while some focus martial arts into a single point, lightly poking forward, just like Sang Hensong's 'Armor-Piercing Pointed Wind Finger,' specialized for breaking defenses, heavenly overcoming those with unparalleled defense."
"However, Senior Brother Chen's speed is really fast; this move didn't even brush the hem of his clothes."
While everyone shared their thoughts in a flash, Chen Ku, already after a swift dodge, extended his hand, lightly grasping toward Sang Hensong's figure.
Buzz!
Immediately, a majestic aura of world domination, holding the universe in hand, I am heaven, suppressing all spirits emerged centered around him.
Pressing down with one palm.
The fair, distinct, and powerful hand covered Sang Hensong's head.
Bang!
Underneath this palm, the body of Sang Hensong's Martial Arts Imprint incessantly flashed, breaking apart, attempting to escape from the coverage of this palm.
Chen Ku's gaze faintly flickered.
He also saw through the nature of the opponent's so-called 'Heavenly Yin Refining Form Technique,' in essence differing from how he transformed himself into Primordial Qi form. This Heavenly Yin Refining Form Technique's philosophy seemingly uses Extreme Yin Power between heaven and earth to wrap oneself, integrating into the Extreme Yin Power between heaven and earth... like wrapping one's body into the void medium, nine orbs penetrate into the void, and emerge from another position.
Although far from traversing space marvelously.
Yet Yin Yang Qi across heaven and earth is omnipresent, penetrating into the Yin Yang Taiyin Power, then flashing out again, slightly resembling 'Space Shifting.'
At this moment.
Sang Hensong's slender and graceful figure incessantly flickered amid black Yin Void Qi, attempting to escape from Chen Ku's widespread "Palm Heaven."
However, unexpectedly…
Beneath Chen Ku's palm, transmitted an endless horrifying world suction force.
Her body was like a small meteor crashing into the gravitational field surrounding a giant planet, unable to resist this gravity resembling that from a palm world, incessantly crashing forward.
Meanwhile, beneath Chen Ku's feet, boundless seawater transformed into all-covering Sword Qi, forming a Sword Qi barrier in all directions.
This was the original intention of Chen Ku choosing this battlefield, allowing Tang Xuan and Xuanwu Spirit Body's Innate Divine Skill 'Xuan Yuan Water Control Sword' to manifest its power to the fullest.
One inside, one outside.
One palm, ten thousand swords.
In the eyes of all students outside the heavenly curtain looking, they saw that Sister Sang Hensong's figure was driven under that sky-covering hand.
Even the transfer ability of the Heavenly Yin Refining Form Technique was restrained.
Welcoming her, only…
Five fingers clenched, ten thousand swords pierced through the body.
Bang!
The formidable woman, capable of ranking among the top five combat powers in Yin Yang Hall, the boss, was thus defeated, leaving a Martial Arts Imprint behind in Martial Training Camp.
[Challenger Chen Ku defeated Ninth Realm Second Layer combat power Sang Hensong, challenge successful, continue challenge?]
Chen Ku listened to the inquiry of the Martial Arts Heavenly Sound.
His mind only focused on the Evil Qi transmitted from Sang Hensong's Martial Arts Imprint.
[Diagram Master suppressed Sang Hensong Imprint, obtained one path of Eighth Realm Evil Qi]
Chen Ku inexplicably gazed at this Evil Qi, pondering a thought:
"Suppressing real blood and flesh life forms, obtaining Evil Qi from them, receiving their root bone ability, doesn't surprise me, but suppressing Martial Arts Imprints of Champion Marquis, Tang Xuan, Sang Hensong, could also through the infusion of Evil Qi, gain their root bone ability, is this suggesting…
The essence of Evil Qi isn't some power of flesh and soul, but something far beyond affecting me, from the very life and soul of a person producing Evil Qi, such as… the power of causality, this mysterious force? Or something else?"
This was merely a fleeting thought, not lingering for long.
Soon, attention redirected to Sang Hensong's acquired Evil Qi.
Martial Arts Heavenly Sound inquiring whether to continue the challenge.
This depends on whether he could obtain the physique related to 'Yin' power he desired from Sang Hensong's body.
If you can't...
Each time the Martial Training Camp challenges masters like Tang Xuan and Sang Hensong, it requires two to three thousand Martial Destiny. He needs to find a way to gather some Martial Destiny at the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth in Yan Capital before he can afford to consume it.
[The Diagram Master chooses to consume forty-five paths of Eighth Realm Evil Qi to cultivate Sang Hensong Transformation...]
[Cultivation successful, Sang Hensong Transformation has been cultivated to 'Transformation Level']
During this month, Chen Ku has continuously sent loose cultivators to summon demons using the Evil Summoning Banner from all directions. One reason is to provide the Blood and Flesh Essence Qi needed for his Gluttonous Snake Transformation Marrow Cleansing, and the other is to accumulate Eighth Realm Evil Qi that may be needed later.
Currently, after one month, he has at least three hundred paths of Eighth Realm Evil Qi, enough to boldly cultivate any Eighth Realm transformation to the highest level of transformation and obtain a transformation avatar.

When Chen Ku saw Sang Hensong's attribute panel, his eyes lit up:
"Luck is pretty good, indeed, no talent that can enter the Divine Martial Academy is simple. Ordinary people can't even enter the Divine Martial Academy, let alone be one of the 'Hundred People Immortal Institute' among a thousand students. Her physique is not simple; she truly has a Yin attribute physique, and it's the 'Heavenly Yin Body', which matches her learning so well. I wonder if it's this Senior Sister's fortunate encounter or family inheritance."
He knows that in the Martial Path land of Ji Country, some physiques can be inherited through family lineage and blood.
However, he doesn't know much about this Senior Sister. Currently, he obtained the physique he desired from her Martial Arts Projection, which can fulfill the basic conditions for cultivating the Huntian Overlord Body's eighth layer 'Taiyin Technique' and is extremely satisfied.
Immediately, he accepted the Martial Path experience transmitted from this female transformation in his mind.
"Indeed, just like I guessed, this Heavenly Yin Refining Form Technique, under the premise of having a yin body, allows one to comprehend the pure yin power of heaven and earth, refine it on the body surface, and form a layer of 'cloth film.' Thus, you can traverse between Yin and Yang, similar to the Earth Escape Technique and Water Escape Technique, but more advanced. Earth and Water Escape are Five Elements Escape techniques, while this... involves the 'Yin Yang Escape Technique.' Indeed, every Divine Skill Ultimate Skill has its unique merits."
After inheriting the Martial Arts Projection of this world, Chen Ku acquired the experience of three great achievement Divine-level Martial Arts and combined them mentally, integrating them into his first Scattered Palm 'Palm Heaven.'
The Mental Realm and transformation of 'Palm Heaven' felt deeper and more solid.
"I won't challenge anymore; I choose to leave."
Chen Ku chose to leave.
In the Martial Training Camp, people saw Chen Ku walk out.
"Ah, Senior Brother Chen seems like he hasn't exerted his full strength; he's already not challenging? I wanted to see how much full power he has."
"Yeah, it felt effortless when he subdued Senior Sister Sang just now, as if he wasn't under pressure."
Many watching Chen Ku not continue the challenge expressed regret.
And the student who provided Chen Ku with information received a spiritual medicine from Chen Ku and explained to the others, "You don't understand; Senior Brother Chen came to the Martial Training Camp to confirm 'enlightenment' with Senior Brothers and Sisters skilled in pure yin martial arts. You've all heard about Senior Brother Chen's enlightening experience during the Iron Tree object investigation at the Destruction Hall, right? The reason he stopped now, I see... it's probably because Senior Brother Chen gained a new understanding of 'Pure Yin Dao' during his duel with Senior Sister Sang."
These words also reached the ears of the one involved.
Outside the Yin Yang Hall, the young Taoist in black clothing who left their Martial Arts Mark in the Martial Training Camp, mused, "Using my mark projection to assist in comprehending the inheritance of the Destruction Hall?"
She didn't have much resistance, as leaving one's Martial Arts Mark in the Martial Training Camp was intended for mutual exchange with peers. Moreover, they received Martial Destiny dividends, and challengers had to pay Martial Destiny as a price to challenge...
The only pressing emotion in her heart was:
"Is this Junior Brother Chen progressing so fast?"
When he first joined, he was at the first Marrow Cleansing, Ninth Realm First Layer Heaven battle power, and now after over a month, he can defeat me.
Chen Ku didn't care about others' discussions.
Only after acquiring the 'Heavenly Yin Body' did he find that he seemed able to observe the pure yin death energy inside the Iron Tree without relying on the help of 'Enlightenment Tea Leaves.'
Meanwhile, after having the Heavenly Yin Body, according to the "Taiyin Technique" incantation, receiving and supporting the pure yin energy between heaven and earth no longer seemed so dangerous.
He seemed more in harmony with the pure yin energy between heaven and earth, possessing the qualifications to further refine the pure yin energy.
This,
is why some people with good physiques can start ahead of ordinary people.
When cultivating the same technique.
Some people's physiques are born naturally blessed by heaven.
"Following this orderly absorption of pure yin energy, I estimate it will take one or two years before I can cultivate the 'Taiyin Cultivation Body.' If I have a 'Pure Yin Spiritual Object,' it could greatly reduce the time needed to cultivate the Taiyin Technique."
Chen Ku wasn't idle; as he was cultivating the Taiyin Cultivation Body, he also let Tang Xuan's avatar, loose cultivator avatars, and even the newly acquired 'Sang Hensong' transformation avatar go out to gather information.
But even so, after two months, there was still no news of a Pure Yin Spiritual Object.
However.
During the time he continuously cultivated and consumed demons along with the 'Naughty Marrow Cleansing.'
His third Marrow Cleansing is about to arrive.
Refining brain marrow.
This step is dangerous, but once broken through, the physical enhancement and life evolution obtained are unimaginable benefits.
