Chapter 37 Wind Barrier (1/2)

The moment Lu Tianzi took his first step into the boundary of the formation, it was as though the entire world experienced an abrupt change.

With a single glance, Lu Tianzi could immediately tell that within the space marked out by the formation, the flow of energy was completely different from outside of the formation.

World Origin Energy from the surroundings were being constantly absorbed into the formation, then released through the core of the formation and transmitted directly to the red pearl. Facing this constant feeding of World Origin Energy, the red pearl furiously took in everything as though it was a hungry beast devouring its meal!

In fact, the rate at which it was devouring energy was even faster than the speed at which Lu Tianzi extracted wisps of energy from an Essence Stone!

Without a doubt, this red pearl must be a peerless treasure, and this energy gathering formation had been specially put in place to cultivate it to perfection.

But if the formation was meant for gathering World Origin Energy, then that also meant the red pearl was free for him to take!

His heart brimming with excitement, Lu Tianzi immediately rushed forth towards the centre of the formation, his hand reaching out for the red pearl that rested defencelessly on the wooden stand.

But at this time, Lu Tianzi suddenly felt a huge fluctuation of energy around him.

The world around him had experienced yet another abrupt change!

Powerful winds tore through the air, swirling ferociously around the red pearl as if it was consciously guarding the pearl within, not intending to allow anyone near it.

This was definitely not an energy gathering formation!

Hidden within the wider energy gathering formation, there was actually another formation that gave birth to an oppressive wind barrier!

By impatiently rushing forward, Lu Tianzi had unknowingly entered the second formation, and that meant that he had also stepped into the effective range of the wind barrier, causing the howling winds to smash right towards Lu Tianzi!

Seeing that there was no longer any way for him to dodge, Lu Tianzi immediately drove the Spiritual Essence within his inner world, wanting to forcibly withstand the powerful winds.

However, how could his haphazardly formed defence stand a chance against a formation that was carefully set up with the sole purpose of warding off people like him?

Bang-!

The strong winds collided into Lu Tianzi with a loud bang, and his defence was barely able to hold for a moment before crumbling into oblivion.

In the face of the mighty wind barrier, Lu Tianzi was completely helpless!

The impact was so strong that Lu Tianzi was directly repelled from the formation, flung out of even the wider energy gathering formation and finally slamming right into the inner walls of the Treasury.

Damn it!

Why even bother with the two guards outside when there was already such a powerful formation protecting the pearl?

Lu Tianzi cursed under his breath as he struggled back to his feet, a tiny streak of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.

After standing back on his feet, Lu Tianzi cleaned off the blood on his face before taking a moment to calm his breath and regain his focus.

Driving the Spiritual Essence within his inner world to the extreme, a thin film slowly emerged from his hands, slowly stretching out to cover every part of Lu Tianzi's body as it eventually enveloped him from head to toe.

Materialisation of Spiritual Essence!

Prior to this, the most that Lu Tianzi could do was to envelop his weapon with his materialised Spiritual Essence. However, that was a far smaller surface area as compared to now.

This was the first time that Lu Tianzi had materialised his Spiritual Essence around his entire body as a way of defending his body!

It was only possible because over the past few days of cultivation, the unification rate of the Spiritual Essence particles within his inner world had already reached forty percent.

This meant that he was almost about to hit the fifty percent threshold that would officially qualify him to attack the Essence Condensation realm!

This insane speed of cultivation was only possible because Lu Tianzi had comprehended the second level of the Undulated Currents Breathing Technique, which aided him greatly by simulating the unification of Spiritual Essence particles.

If it had been any other cultivation method, then even if Lu Tianzi had managed to attain a similar level of progress on the cultivation method, the rate at which he unified his Spiritual Essence would definitely not be comparable to his current one!

However, as the unification rate went higher, the difficulty to progress further would only increase exponentially, and thus his rate of cultivation was only going to slow down in the future.

That was only natural as well.

Otherwise, no martial artist would ever stop at just fifty percent unification rate before attempting to break through, and those famed geniuses would definitely not stop at eighty percent unification rate instead of aiming for a complete unification!

But even without considering his future progress, just the current Lu Tianzi had already gained the ability to completely envelop himself with materialised Spiritual Essence.

And this time, Lu Tianzi knew better than to rush blindly towards the red pearl.

Instead, he took one step at a time as he steadily advanced.

With his materialised Spiritual Essence actively strengthening his bodily defence, Lu Tianzi once against stepped in range of the wind barrier.

This time, however, he was prepared for the impact.

Bang-!

The howling winds mercilessly slammed into Lu Tianzi once more!
