Chapter 232

A month quietly pa.s.sed under this tense atmosphere . The entire monastery was nervously preparing for battle .

Everyone within the monastery was focused on crazily increasing their cultivation bases . But there was a certain place thousands of miles away from the monastery .

A person was standing at the peak of a bare mountain . Qi surged from his body and the blood within his body surged like a racing river .

Loud rumbling caused the entire mountain to shake . A powerful aura surged out of his body, soaring into the sky . Golden light came from behind him, making him look bathed in golden mist .

“I’ve finally reached the thirteenth Heavenstage of Blood Condensation!”

Long Chen’s robes fluttered, his long hair constantly dancing . His blood was rapidly circulating, releasing boundless energy .

Lightning flashed as he looked up into the sky, and a will came from within him that wanted to smash apart all of heaven and earth . Currently he had already absorbed all the Ten Thousand Beast Essence Blood .

When he had just advanced to the thirteenth Heavenstage, all the blood in his body had taken a golden sheen . As his blood circulated within his body, the power that it brought made even him feel frightened .

The only regretful thing was that Long Chen couldn’t advance into the Tendon Transformation realm no matter how he tried . It seemed he was still missing something .

However, that didn’t stop him from being incredibly excited . His physical body had become much, much stronger . Even he himself didn’t know just how strong he was now .

As his cultivation base grew, the capacity of his FengFu Star increased even more, storing more and more spiritual qi .

And most exciting of all was that his meridians had once more expanded . In fact, they had practically grown ten times the size, allowing him to reach an unprecedented level of strength .

Suddenly, Long Chen roared up at the heavens, and the divine ring appeared behind him . His aura immediately exploded out like a volcano, and a pillar of qi soared into the sky .

The black clouds above him immediately began to rumble, and tens of thunderbolts crashed onto him .

Those thunderbolts all landed on his raised arms, and his body was immersed in thunderforce . A crackling sound came from his body .

Ever since he had advanced to the thirteenth Heavenstage, Long Chen had found that as long as he summoned out his divine ring and his qi soared into the sky, it was as if those black clouds that constantly hovered above this mountain had been provoked and they would shoot their lightning down on him .

At the beginning it was extremely taxing for him, but he gradually became accustomed .

Each time he advanced, he would summon more lightning to temper his physical body .

He found that this was an excellent method . The impurities in his body were all forcibly expelled, and the rate at which his blood turned golden increased .

But most exciting of all was that those embryonic thunderforce glyphs in his body were becoming increasingly clear . At first they had been vague and fuzzy, but now they were clear and substantial .

He would condense his blood, gather lightning, and increase the power of his physical body . He had advanced three times now practically all in one go .

Now that he had advanced to the thirteenth Heavenstage, those thunderbolts were no longer able to pose any threat to him .

So now he was just focused on absorbing as much thunderforce as he could . If you were to look at him from a distance, you would see a figure covered in a rain of lightning, an extremely shocking sight .

Long Chen needed to borrow thunderforce in order to temper his physical body . Being struck by these thunderbolts here was much simpler than if he had to use his own thunderforce to temper his body . In fact, this place was also safer, was faster, was painless now, and energy-saving .

He tempered his body for three straight days before he sensed his body had reached a limit . No matter how much more thunderforce he used to temper his body, it didn’t have any more use .

Furthermore, he realized that the thunderforce here was becoming weaker now . Looking up at the sky, he saw those black clouds that constantly floated above this mountain had become much thinner .

He knew that he had used up all the power here . This particular place was a special environment . The thunderclouds here had probably been acc.u.mulating for who knew how many years, and now he had practically exhausted all of it .

Putting away his divine ring, the tempest of lightning also came to a sudden stop . The rumbling from his body faded and everything returned to normal .

Long Chen smashed his own stomach with his fist . A loud booming noise rang out, and the rock beneath his feet cracked .

“Hehe, if I had this much power back then, would I have even had to risk my life against Wu Qi? I could easily smash him to death now!”

Long Chen was now so strong that if Wu Qi fought with him now, he wouldn’t even have to go into a battle state to defeat him .

That filled Long Chen with confidence for the upcoming trial against the Corrupt Devils . According to the trial’s settings, killing a single Corrupt path outer disciple was worth five thousand points .

Killing an inner disciple was worth thirty thousand points, and killing a core disciple was worth two hundred thousand points .

That was an incredible opportunity . Back when Long Chen had bought medicinal ingredients at the Xuantian pavilion, he had seen quite a few of the medicinal ingredients for the Alioth Pill .

But those medicinal ingredients were rare and required thousands of points to purchase . The more expensive ones even required tens of thousands of points . Long Chen didn’t have enough points to buy them .

And so Long Chen didn’t even think about them for now . The medicinal ingredients required to refine the Alioth Pill were just too expensive .

Furthermore, even if he were to gather all the medicinal ingredients in the monastery, he wouldn’t be able to refine the pill . There were some medicinal ingredients that didn’t exist within the monastery .

But this was still an extremely important opportunity for him . He should still gather as much of the Alioth Pill’s ingredients as possible .
