Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 833 - 540: 6th-Tier Domain: Returning Ruins, First Layer!

But, still not enough.

Still not sufficient.

Yan Chuan decisively skipped the Innate Chapter Third Form of "Wave Riding Micro Steps." The third form, "Flying God," was unparalleled in concealing one's presence, but in terms of power, both speed and attack power were the weakest of the six forms.

Skipped the third form, directly to the fourth form—

"Walk with steps, follow the Gua, guide Qi, direct meridians, and wield the sword, this is 'Breaking Body'!"

Steps guide the Gua Xiang, hands and feet unleash infinite sword qi, breaking the body, sword qi delay hidden in footprints then burst forth—

Swish swish swish!

Sword qi wildly spiraling.

This fourth form, based on the second form, requires more ambushes, more preparation, unlike "Six Meridians" that can be triggered freely, but excels in the simultaneous explosion of more powerful sword qi.

Though "Wave Riding Micro Steps" is only Mid Fifth Realm, just the fourth form "Breaking Body," its power already greatly exceeds the sixth-form ultimate moves of Sixth Realm "Newborn" and "Evil Extinguishing Righteous Yang Saber."

Each sword qi individually is slightly weaker than "Six Meridians," "Mad Demon," and "Sword River," but can't withstand the simultaneous burst of over a hundred sword qi, when gathered, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, power surpassing "Six Meridians," "Mad Demon," "Sword River," even without a hundredfold, even without tenfold, at least fivefold.

Fivefold power!

But, it's not enough, not enough, not enough!

A piece of chaotic iron, still can't be cleaved, the power of "Breaking Body" is still not at sixth rank.

Fifth rank!

Sixth rank!

Yan Chuan was shocked yet relieved.

He was shocked by the power of the sixth rank, relieved that the only sixth-rank Divine General he had met earlier 'Luo the Madman' was not an enemy, otherwise facing the unprecedented powerful sixth-rank Divine General, which is ten times or more as strong as the fifth-rank Divine General, Yan Chuan would find it impossible to escape, only to unleash Wang Zhengyi's 'Monkey King Avatar' to flee!

The gap is too large.

Yan Chuan felt deep despair, but he still had hope—

"Heavenly Gang and Beidou, True Martial Seven Styles, Breaking Body Sword Qi, woven into a net, this is 'Sword Net'!"

"Wave Riding Micro Steps" Fifth Form, Yan Chuan madly maneuvered around a hundred acres of chaos, footprints densely packed, perhaps thousands of them, each footprint containing a hidden sword qi, with both hands using "Six Meridians" to shoot sword qi, sword qi triggering sword qi, sword qi merging with sword qi, sword qi coordinating with sword qi—

Heavenly Gang and Beidou!

Sword array solidifies!

"Sword Net!"

"Beidou Formation!"

Yan Chuan walked nearly a quarter of an hour; in real combat, such time and opportunity are impossible, but when dealing with "Returning Ruins," Yan Chuan had ample time to weave the sword net, unleashing his strongest strike to date—

Sword Step!

Sword Qi!

Sword Array!

Sword Net!

"Explode!"

Yan Chuan halted his steps and shouted loudly, 1,176 footprints, 1,176 sword qi, compared to when he broke Guangming City in early July, using "Sword Net" with 686 footprints, 686 sword qi, almost doubled, the power increased by more than just one fold, from Fourth Realm to Fifth Realm, and it's the strongest strike at Mid Fifth Realm.

Invincible!

Invincible!

"Hiss!"

Jin Yutang, upon seeing the densely packed sword qi forming a net-shaped sword array, felt his soul ensnared, heart suddenly gripped, even just a glance felt as if he was already slain, unable to resist the trembling and fear.

This strike!

"Shred!"

Finally, breaking open Returning Ruins, revealing the first layer of chaos!

Yan Chuan!

Mid Fifth Realm "Wave Riding Micro Steps," Fifth Form "Sword Net," quarter-hour brewing of the strongest strike, finally reaching the sixth-rank threshold.

"Sixth Rank Domain!"

"Finally touched!"

Yan Chuan watched the first layer of chaos being peeled, seeing inside a pitch-black, dim void, exuding immense fear, Yan Chuan didn't enter; after breaking chaos, his qi rapidly decreased.

Nine Yang True Seed.

Limit Breaking True Seed.

The two True Seeds that brought Yan Chuan the 'Sixth Rank Experience Card' became invalid, Yan Chuan fell, in an instant returning to Innate Seventh Layer.

Second Rank!

Ant!

...

"Master!" Jin Yutang's eyes bled, his heart cracked, his head throbbed, yet the injuries weren't serious, his inner shock overshadowed by greater joy.

"Congratulations, Master!"

In formation, unable to leave duty, he could only congratulate Master from afar. Jin Yutang saw clearly; Master's sword qi formation net broke the first layer of Returning Ruins' chaos, evidently reaching the sixth-rank threshold.

Though still very strained, requiring full effort and a quarter-hour brewing to unleash sixth-rank power, incomparable to a genuine sixth rank whose every move is sixth-rank prowess.

But how long has Master been cultivating?

Two years ago, he was still laboring at the Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall!

At the end of last year, he just proved Innate Dao, since then only over half a year, barely eight months in total.

Eight months from initial Innate to touching sixth rank?

Incredible!

Cause for celebration!

"Ha ha!"

Yan Chuan laughed heartily, he was also delighted. After the Heavenly Change in the Mountain and Sea Realm, martial arts lectures at various King City Realms were the first avenue for Yan Chuan to rapidly advance his martial arts mastery. Today, he unexpectedly achieved a significant breakthrough from Sheng Xuan, yet regardless, Yan Chuan experienced a qualitative transformation.

Sixth Rank!

Within reach!

Jin Yutang wiped away the bloody tears at the corner of his eyes, and after feeling joy, asked curiously: "The 'Returning Ruins' buried countless worlds and contains innumerable treasures inside. Since Master has shattered the chaos, why not go in?"

Ah, the Returning Ruins!

It would be great to go inside and hunt for treasure!

Yan Chuan possessed such strength; he could enter, and he could exit, he wouldn't be trapped inside.

Jin Yutang was curious why Master wouldn't enter.

Yan Chuan shook his head: "The 'Returning Ruins' is also unsafe. Although after entering, one can shatter the chaos in any place to exit from this entrance again, if the situation is urgent, where would there be a quarter hour's time for me to act?"

Right now, he barely touched the surface of the Sixth Rank, counted as one move reaching the threshold of the Sixth Rank, but the actual strength was still far from it.

Today, he managed to test the true gap between himself and the Sixth Rank. From the chaos layer of the 'Returning Ruins,' Yan Chuan finally realized the terror of the Sixth Rank Divine General and dared not to underestimate.

And the entry threshold for the 'Returning Ruins' is precisely the Sixth Rank Divine General. Yan Chuan entering might encounter a Sixth Rank Divine General, and in the case of conflict, Yan Chuan doesn't have Wang Zhengyi's 'Soul Channel,' escaping would be difficult!

Adding danger!

Why go in?

"It would be better to first make a round of martial arts lectures at various King City Realms, wait for my strength to truly reach the Sixth Rank, and then it's not too late to head to the 'Returning Ruins'!"

He was clearheaded.

Yan Chuan was cautious.

...

Speaking of the 'Soul Channel,' nearly a month later, it was already the beginning of August, and Wang Zhengyi was still asleep, with no movement from the two avatars.

When Old Wang was around, Yan Chuan had much convenience, now that he's not, it's very inconvenient.

"Previously, I thought supplying the 'Monkey King Avatar' with cultivation, a few thousand jin of Essence Stone each month was already a lot, but now looking at it, it's really not much." Having such a stable 'back road,' could usually facilitate convenient traveling between realms, looking back at the auction in Five Blessings City, the final transaction price for 'supporting the Monkey King Avatar' might have exceeded that of the Seventh-rank Divine Weapon 'God Slaying Spear,' possibly selling for 100,000 Primordial Pills, and when it came to renting, some wealthy individuals were willing to pay several tens or hundreds of Primordial Pills per month.

Yan Chuan truly gained a lot of advantage.

However.

Saying that.

Yan Chuan was also good to Wang Zhengyi, first was the 'Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill' and 'Dragon Elephant Wisdom,' then he also taught him the True Skill 'Fire Demon Golden Bell Shield' Innate Chapter, helping him quickly refine Fire Bud Crystal, his potential for future growth is considerable.

Absolute Skill.

True Skill.

Wang Zhengyi's 'Soul Channel' ensured security for Yan Chuan's personal safety.

Yan Chuan's 'Derivation Skill' provided assurance for Wang Zhengyi's future martial arts.

Both were loyal to each other, it wasn't a matter of one gaining advantage over the other.

"Once Old Wang wakes up, I have the 'Star Stone,' which ignores spatial barriers, so I can try to rescue the 'Alligator Beast Avatar' from Nanyue Lake."

Once the 'Alligator Beast Avatar' is out, Wang Zhengyi's 'three lives' would be complete, no more hidden dangers, Yan Chuan would also have one more 'transmission point,' this would be mutually beneficial.

If before that the 'Sixth Rank·Star Stone' could be upgraded again, possibly reaching the Seventh Rank, then there would be greater assurance.

However——

...

[Experience: 43,960,000]

[Spiritual: 22,900,000]

[Cultivation: Innate Seventh Layer (beginning of August)]

[Physique: Innate Fifteenth Layer (120 Fire Bud Crystals)]

...

August 1st.

Yan Chuan's comprehensive strength underwent another transformation——

Cultivation advanced a layer, but still the Second Rank, not worth mentioning.

But in terms of physique, Yan Chuan continued to cultivate the 'Fire Demon Golden Bell Shield,' refining a Fire Bud Crystal at a daily pace. By August 1st, Yan Chuan just completed refining the 120th Fire Bud Crystal, raising physique strength to Innate Fifteenth Layer, just entering Fourth Rank.

Only with Fourth Rank physique combined with the foundation of Strange True Skill·Four Realms Peak·'Washing Marrow Scripture' and the joint achievement of the 'Fire Demon Golden Bell Shield' with 'Fire Bud Crystal,' could the body withstand a movement speed of up to 650 meters/sec, and endure the explosive effect of 'Limit Breaking True Seed' and 'Nine Yang True Skill,' if physique was weaker, the body would have already fallen apart.

That is Yan Chuan——

"Fourth Rank Physique."

"Strange True Skill."

"Plus the 'three Hao hairs' at the back of my head."

"Only then can endure the near limitless Sixth Rank furious speed and the extreme powerful move that just reaches the Sixth Rank threshold in terms of body overload!"

Through the Returning Ruins, Yan Chuan had a generally clear understanding of his current strength.

Then looking at [Experience]——

"Over forty million."

"Process halfway."

Yan Chuan couldn't help but smile.

In the last two weeks, his martial arts lectures in Tan Valley Realm and Black Hawk Territory resulted in not only teaching and learning having nearly ten times the effect, but the progress of 'Derivation Skill' was also swift, inspiration surged, aside from the task slots occupied by True Skill in 'Derivation Skill,' every other task slot could complete several rounds of Geng Level Skills daily, earning Yan Chuan over 800,000 spiritual and experience daily, it was rapid.

"At this rate, I can earn 8 million experience and 8 million spiritual at each King City Realm, maximum seven stops, and in two months over, save enough for one hundred million experience to upgrade any one of 'Derivation Skill,' 'Treasure Rock,' or 'Mutual Teaching and Learning.'"

Level Five 'Derivation Skill'?

Level Five 'Treasure Rock'?

Level Five 'Mutual Teaching and Learning'?

Yan Chuan eagerly anticipated their new transformations at level five, in pursuit of an early upgrade: "Martial arts lectures cannot stop!"
