Chapter 72: Initial Profundity (1/2)

“First Origin of Emergence, external discharge of blood energy!”

With a shout, Chen Feng began channelling the First Origin of Emergence formula. At the same time, wave after wave of powerful blood energy spread out from his body. The blood energy radiating out from Chen Feng possessed fierce, overbearing, passionate and positive attributes, the counter against those evil creatures. His blood energy billowed out non-stop. The blood-coloured little bugs that were clouding the surrounding space cried out sharply as they fled far away, many of them reduced to ashes. It felt as though someone had brought out a torch to drive off mosquitoes.

Due to the high pressure of the situation, the Heavenly Origin acupoint between his brows began unleashing wave after wave of formidable power as well. Within the human body, the Heavenly Origin acupoint possessed the highest potential. It was also the insight acupoint that could hold the most power. At the same time, it was also the foundation for the path of cultivation. In the face of the pressure bearing down on him, Chen Feng had gained a breakthrough. He was able to merge his Heavenly Origin acupoint with all the blood energy of his body and his sea of wisdom. They pulsed and stimulated each other. In but an instant, a powerful aura radiated out from Chen Feng’s body.

“Overwhelming air of righteousness! Firmness of blood energy!” Chen Feng abruptly shouted out and he once again willed the Overwhelming Astral Sword forward. Wave after wave of formidable sword energy spread out without respite from the body of the sword. At the same time, the will of the expert imbued within the sword shook, unleashing thrumming sounds.

Boom!

With a hacking motion, a sword beam, tens of zhang in length, fired out and a whole crowd of the Wicked Peddlers were instantly incinerated (1 zhang = 3.333 m).

Shua!

Another sword beam was fired out. This time, the sword beam contained Chen Feng’s blood energy. It was like a hot blast of air gushing upwards due to scorched earth, like a flaming dragon howling non-stop.

Shua! Shua! Shua!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

With the Overwhelming Astral Sword in hand, Chen Feng bellowed loudly as he brandished the sword up and down. Although he did not display much in terms of sword styles, there was an imposing atmosphere radiating out from him. It was an overwhelming atmosphere where every move he made contained an indescribable concept. A mysterious aura was diffusing out from Chen Feng’s body and it appeared as though his surroundings had melded together with him.

“Eh? This aura… this is probably the epiphany state of mind. Could Brother Chen have gained a breakthrough?” Ye Ziming, who was focused on recovery, suddenly snapped open both his eyes.

“Gaining a breakthrough in the midst of battle. This kid is not to be underestimated. He was at level 1 of the Concealed stage earlier. Right now, though, he might be about to break through that,” said Lu Ta. There was a look of envy on his face.

Although both of them had higher cultivation bases compared to Chen Feng, epiphany was not something that could be gained just because they wanted it to.

Bang!

The Overwhelming Astral Sword unleashed a shockwave and over a hundred Wicked Peddlers were killed.

“Excellent! It turns out the Heavenly Origin acupoint possesses this function. It can stimulate every potential within the body and store blood energy. Additionally, the energy it produces can also stimulate the other insight acupoints.” After entering that state of mind, Chen Feng obtained a higher level of understanding towards the Heavenly Origin acupoint. He could sense every change and minute details. It was the Initial Profundity state of mind.

Initial Profundity, Comprehended Profundity, All Profundity. Chen Feng had taken the first step towards the three mysterious states of the mind.

After cultivating up to this level, the cultivator would be capable of viewing all the minute objects within his or her body with utter clarity. The cells, energy, inspecting everything to its finest detail, gain understanding of which was superior and which was inferior. He would have better control over his primary energy and blood energy in the future.

Chen Feng killed the Wicked Peddlers without respite until finally, they began to feel fear. Dread emerged from their eyes and they began retreating.

The thought that they had gotten through the crisis had only just appeared in Chen Feng’s mind when a Wicked Peddler the size of a building suddenly appeared. With a flap of its wings, it caused Chen Feng’s footing to become unsteady.

“What a big bat! Surely it is not a Great Yao, is it?” cried Chen Feng in shock. Next, his figure flashed and he ducked back into the spell array.

That was the leader of the Wicked Peddlers. The instant it appeared, it launched a powerful attack towards Chen Feng. A mighty soundwave pierced through space itself, locking down on Chen Feng. Even after having hidden himself within the spell array, Chen Feng was unable to avoid it.

“Break!”

Chen Feng stopped his attempts to dodge and turned to lash out with his sword. Space itself shuddered as the soundwave was smashed apart by his blow. Immediately after that, however, five more soundwave attacks flew in, causing Chen Feng to fall into a state of disarray.

Kacha!

Another corner of the spell array was destroyed and more Wicked Peddlers surged in. Chen Feng could even see some Wicked Peddlers with the width of one zhang amongst surging in.

“Brother Chen, what is wrong? Have you reached your limit?” Ye Ziming’s voice rang out.

“Their leader has come forward. It is a very powerful yao beast. I cannot face it head on,” Chen Feng shouted back. He dodged about and unleashed out a few sword beams every now and again. However, before the seemingly invincible sword beams could reach the body of the leader, they were shattered apart by the streams of energy flowing across the surface of its body.

This is probably a mid-tier yao beast. There is no way for me to fight it without utilizing the full power of the Overwhelming Astral Sword or the Longevity Tower. Chen Feng analysed his situation.

Bang!

A circular soundwave struck Chen Feng’s body, causing a circular concave to instantly appear on his chest. The protective armour he wore was instantly pierced through as tears spread out through Chen Feng’s chest and blood flowed out from them.

“Cough! Cough! This is a tough bugger.” Using the momentum from the attack, Chen Feng turned and dodged the rest of the incoming attacks before ducking back into the spell array.
