Chapter 557: Chapter 358: The Divine Monk Appears (Part 2)

Inside and outside Chen Ku’s body, it seemed as if it had transformed into a forbidden thunder pond, with a kind of thunderous Qi mechanism appearing with every breath.

This surprised Xiao Tianzuo, who exclaimed:

"Brother Chen, have you broken through your Divine Skill? Have you reached the peak of the Seventh Realm?"

Upon hearing this,

Xu Fanfeng also became curious and asked, "Brother Chen, with this breakthrough, have you surpassed another Great Limit? Could you possibly face a Ninth Realm, First Layer Heaven opponent?"

Some of the old Cultivators around also looked seriously and suspiciously at the man in black.

As Xu Fanfeng asked,

When Chen Ku was in the Seventh Realm, Inner Firm stage, he could already step into the Six Great Limit Domain, capable of battling Eighth Realm peak masters. Now having broken through another realm, could he... face a Ninth Realm opponent?

If true, that would be truly incredible.

Chen Ku noticed the others also eagerly awaiting his response and ambiguously said:

"I’m not quite sure, although my combat power has indeed increased again, the Ninth Realm is, after all, a whole realm apart. Ninth Realm Blood Exchange experts possess Blood Qi phenomena and Bloodline suppression. Therefore, I can’t guarantee that I can still leap two large realms to challenge Ninth Realm experts."

And indeed, it was like that.

Seventh Realm is Gang Control, Eighth is Marrow Cleansing, and Ninth is Blood Exchange.

Gang Control has only two layers, while Marrow Cleansing has five times, and Blood Exchange is Nine Layers.

Each large realm is an enhancement of life’s essence.

The gap between Marrow Cleansing and Blood Exchange far exceeds that between Gang Control and Marrow Cleansing.

Blood Exchange is a true transformation.

After Blood Exchange, Ninth Realm experts are said to be able to create Martial Path phenomena with Blood Qi outside the body. Facing opponents below the Ninth Realm, sometimes just releasing Blood Qi can overwhelm lower-realm Martial Artists, causing them to shudder and be unable to lift their heads.

The more Blood Exchanges, the higher the Bloodline level of the experts, which can even exert a ’Bloodline suppression’ of a higher life level on most people, causing an involuntary fear.

But Chen Ku wasn’t without breakthrough benefits; at least now, he could easily suppress Eighth Realm peak experts.

The others nodded silently upon hearing this.

"It seems Chen Ku is not overly arrogant, as cross-realm challenges become more difficult the further you go. Sometimes, when faced with powerful realm suppression, one may not only fail to push the boundary higher but may also drop a layer. This special realm is called the ’Threshold Realm,’ very hard to cross. The Tenth Realm, Primordial Heaven Realm, is a threshold, and the Fifteenth Realm emperor-level expert is a natural moat threshold."

"The Ninth Realm Blood Exchange is hard to compare with the Tenth Realm threshold but can be considered half a threshold."

"Currently, among the genius experts in the Jianghu, only the top ten on the Genius List, led by Hua Yuexian of Dragon Abyss, can do it."

Some were discussing,

"However, after Chen Ku’s breakthrough, he should be able to improve his ranking on the Genius List, shouldn’t he?"

"I remember the third hundred on the Genius List, the Fourth Young Master ’Little Barbarian God’ Jiang Hengchu of the Jiang Family, is also of supreme strength among Eighth Realm peak combatants. I wonder who would have a greater chance of winning when compared with Chen Ku."

"Indeed, Chen Ku previously killed the Seventh Young Master ’Little Fire God’ of the Jiang Family, already having made enmity with them. Now he seems to have stepped into the apex of Eighth Realm strength, making a potential duel with Little Barbarian God Jiang Hengchu quite anticipated."

These discussions inevitably reached the ears of Chen Ku and Xiao Tianzuo and others.

Xiao Tianzuo lowered his voice and said, "Brother Chen, you should also have heard, the Ninth Elder of the Jiang Family, Jiang Yanchang, is coming for you. But rest assured, if he really bullies you as an elder, Qingxuan and I will stand by your side, and he’ll dare not act directly against us."

"Xiao, thank you, but if the Jiang Family elder truly takes action against me, please stay away and avoid getting hurt," Chen Ku seriously said. "Because I too have my own backing."

Xiao Tianzuo was slightly taken aback.

Chen Ku smiled and said, "Let’s head to Divine Martial Mountain, Xiao, would you like to race against me to see who gets there first?"

Xiao Tianzuo’s eyes lit up slightly. Having witnessed Chen Ku’s speed, given the few dozen li distance to Divine Martial Mountain, Chen Ku could cover in just a few breaths.

As long as Chen Ku stepped into the Divine Martial Hall, however formidable that Jiang Family elder was, he wouldn’t dare break into it.

And with Chen Ku’s talent, as long as he practiced in the Divine Martial Hall, he would certainly gain the attention of prominent figures among the Nine Great Sects.

"Good! Then let’s see who among us is faster!" said Xiao Tianzuo.

The Yan Capital Five Sons laughed as well.

Thus, witnessed by all outside the city, Chen Ku and six others simultaneously headed towards Divine Martial Mountain.

In an instant, Chen Ku’s figure vanished from his place, prompting some to exclaim, even causing Chu Fengwu, riding a white-furred tiger, to squint as he gazed at the black shadow disappearing into the sky:

"That speed..."

Yet, before he could finish commenting on Chen Ku’s speed.

From within Yan Capital City, a Blood Qi River surged, accompanied by a cold roar that resonated outside Yan Capital City:

"After killing Er Lang of my Jiang Family, you dare to openly show up outside the city and even wish to attend the Divine Martial Hall recruitment? Where have you placed this old man who has waited for you two days, Chen Ku?"

With a shout, a grand Blood Qi River pressed towards Chen Ku, who was ten li away, with a Blood Qi Big Hand reaching out from the river directly toward Chen Ku.

Instantly, everyone’s expressions changed drastically:

"It’s the Jiang Family Elder!"

"Just the Blood Qi can cover more than ten li, Blood Qi Transformation, this is... A Ninth Realm peak, about to step into the Tenth Realm monster!"

Xiao Tianzuo and others turned pale in shock:

"Brother Chen, this is not good!"

They were about to rush forward to stop the figure at the head of the Blood Qi River.

Yet unexpectedly,

At the moment the giant hand reached towards Chen Ku ten li away.

Chen Ku naturally sensed the terrifying momentum, as the Blood Qi crossed over more than ten li, like a Golden Path being paved open, and the most critical part...

He even felt his own blood violently trembling under that Blood Qi-forging Golden Path.

A transmission of instinctual shivers emerged.

Unrelated to fear, it was the blood of humanity suppressed by higher-level Blood Qi.

"So this is the Blood Exchange expert, and the Bloodline suppression of a Ninth Layer peak Blood Exchange existence?"

Chen Ku’s heart throbbed violently, yet he was not afraid but chuckled lightly, saying:

"Finally showed up, I was wondering if you wouldn’t. Then... I’ll entrust it to you, Master Uncle Tian Hai!"

With Chen Ku’s thoughts flashing rapidly in his mind.

Just as the giant hand was about to grab Chen Ku.

Hum~~~

A strong Brahma sound resonated from Chen Ku’s body, instantly vibrating the surrounding space into muddiness, followed by a golden Innate True Essence gathering a golden Palm Seal outside Chen Ku’s body.

And with one palm strike, it hit the Blood Qi Big Hand of the Jiang Family Elder.

Bam!

With a single palm, it seemed like the space ahead collapsed, and the Blood Qi in the sky trembled violently. As the palm’s power spread like a multitude of stormy waves, wild and unmatched, it directly overturned the golden-red Blood Qi River covering more than ten li.

Simultaneously, the Elder of the Jiang Family at the end of the Blood Qi River, clad in a dark golden robe, staggered as his mouth bled, showing a look of shock and shouting:

"Who dares oppose my Jiang Family? Reveal yourself immediately!"

With this shout, the Blood Qi was tumultuous.

Carrying interrogation, the pressure spread in ten directions.

A Buddha name echoed in the Heavenly Universe:

"Amitabha!"

A barefoot, tattered old monk appeared directly behind Chen Ku, raising one palm and calmly looking at the Jiang Family Elder at the end of the Blood Qi River, speaking lightly:

"Who are you to act against the eleventh-generation Sect Master of Putuo Mountain?"
