Chapter 160: Chapter 158: Frenzy Body Refiner

Guo Qilin was being split in two by Yee Youmeng, while Yee Youmeng herself was about to be blasted into a pulp by the Grandmaster. This seemed to be an irreversible outcome.

But at that moment, Jiang Jichen, from within the wall of fire, suddenly let out a great roar. He took a single step, using Void Shadowless, and in an instant, he appeared beside Yee Youmeng, shielding her from the Grandmaster’s blow.

BOOM!

Jiang Jichen’s body reeked of burnt flesh. Now, having taken another blow, he was on the verge of annihilation.

If not for the profound power of the Undying Scripture at the Second Turn Realm, his physical body would have already disintegrated.

Naturally, his current state was hardly any better. Moreover, the Grandmaster was now close; a single casual strike would mean certain death for him.

However, a terrifying aura that made one’s very soul tremble suddenly rose from Jiang Jichen’s body.

Then, his entire body began to shine with a faint, blood-red light, as clouds of blood mist erupted from his form.

"Kill!"

Jiang Jichen roared, his voice hoarse and guttural, like that of a dying beast.

He threw a punch at the Grandmaster, and his speed... was nearly ten times faster than before!

The Grandmaster didn’t even have time to form a second attack before Jiang Jichen’s fist slammed into his body.

BOOM!

His defenses were completely shattered. To think they could only withstand a single punch! This power... it was also nearly ten times greater than before.

’Ten times the speed and ten times the power... What is happening?’

The Grandmaster thought in terror.

However, the thought had barely formed when Jiang Jichen’s next punch arrived—with the same astonishing speed and terrifying power, it was simply unstoppable.

His physical defenses were already destroyed, so he could only conjure a Ten-Layered Spirit Pattern Space.

Yet, with this next punch, the ten layers of the Spirit Pattern Space disintegrated, and he was unable to conjure another.

"Die!"

The third punch followed with almost no gap in time, landing squarely on the Grandmaster’s body.

Even for someone in the Grandmaster Realm, their physical body wasn’t much tougher than a Minor Grandmaster’s. After all, they were just Spirit Cultivators.

Without a doubt, the Grandmaster was dead. His body exploded into a cloud of blood mist, which was then absorbed by the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array inside Jiang Jichen’s Storage Bag.

’So strong!’

At this moment, the crowd stared blankly at the scene, utterly shocked, their hearts filled with awe.

But how had Jiang Jichen suddenly become so powerful?

"It’s a Secret Skill! An ancient Secret Skill that unleashes one’s latent potential! Heavens, Boss, what is your background?"

Wei Xiaohao was completely stunned. Even the Seven Great Families of Southern Continent and the Three Major Sects might not possess such a long-lost ancient Secret Skill.

And just as Wei Xiaohao had said, Jiang Jichen had indeed used a Secret Skill in that instant to unleash his latent potential.

Blood-Burning Power Transformation Fist!

It burned his essence blood, refining that essence into power and unleashing a force ten times greater than normal.

This was latent power unleashed at the cost of life and blood; naturally, it was immensely powerful.

This was the second time Jiang Jichen had used it. The first was when he was being hunted in the Moonlight Forest by the old servant in black.

Back then, his Cultivation Realm was too low to truly unleash the Secret Skill’s might.

Now, wasn’t he thousands of times stronger than before? To increase his speed and strength tenfold from a foundation of the Innate Body Refining Fifth Realm Perfect Realm—how terrifying was that!

And at the same time, Yee Youmeng’s blade fell.

PFFT!

Over there, Guo Qilin was sliced cleanly in two, as dead as could be.

A Grandmaster and a Young Master of the Guo Family, killed just like that. Wasn’t this young duo a little too vicious?

Seeing Guo Qilin slain, Wei Xiaohao felt no joy or satisfaction, but rather a chill deep in his heart. His gaze toward Jiang Jichen and Yee Youmeng was filled with fear.

The remaining Grandmaster stared blankly at all this. Then he snapped back to his senses and, without a moment’s hesitation, retreated. He didn’t dare face the current Jiang Jichen.

He was truly terrified, fleeing in a desperate rout.

To think that a Grandmaster had been scared off by them—one could only imagine how brutal the pair had just been!

Jiang Jichen, however, had no time to spare for such things. The effects of the Blood-Burning Power Transformation Fist could only be maintained for three breaths and had now dissipated.

He immediately took out the Water Spirit Treasure Medicine, the Thousand-Year Blood Spirit Aura, and a Blood Lotus Seed!

They were all Treasure Medicines for healing wounds and replenishing Blood Qi, and he began to swallow them by the mouthful.

Watching from the side, Wei Xiaohao and Luoo Long felt their eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

The medicinal properties of these Treasure Medicines were incredibly potent. A normal person would likely die from their blood vessels bursting if they consumed even a tiny sliver.

Even a Grandmaster would be considered impressive for consuming a piece the size of a pinky finger, and they would still need several days to refine it.

But Jiang Jichen was gobbling them down as if they were free, swallowing half of a palm-sized Spirit Medicine in one go.

In total, Jiang Jichen had consumed the equivalent of one and a half Treasure Medicines.

’Heavens, what does that even mean?’

Just the thought of it made Wei Xiaohao tremble. Even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator couldn’t withstand such a dose.

Sure enough, after consuming so many Treasure Medicines, Jiang Jichen’s body began to swell like a balloon, looking as if it might burst at any moment. The sight left Luoo Long and Wei Xiaohao terrified.

Only Yee Youmeng remained calm. She stood beside Jiang Jichen, guarding him, her large machete in tow.

The skin on Yee Youmeng’s face was strange; its color didn’t match the skin on her neck, as if a thin membrane were covering its true hue.

Jiang Jichen had studied it before. It was a seal!

The Seal of Oblivion... forgetting the past, forgetting one’s face, forgetting...

Even with his current Cultivation, Jiang Jichen was unable to break such a seal.

Beside Yee Youmeng, Jiang Jichen’s body continued to swell. His wounds tore open again, and one could even hear the sound of his bones cracking and shattering.

This was practically a process of his body being torn to pieces, yet Jiang Jichen remained expressionless.

Within his body, the Undying Scripture and the Source Character Qi Condensing Technique were already operating at their peak, continuously refining and absorbing the endless torrent of medicinal power.

His body was shattering and being reborn—a process of tempering his physique. Of course, this process was also incredibly perilous, and the pain one had to endure was unimaginable.

But the Treasure Medicines’ properties finally began to take effect, and Jiang Jichen’s body started to repair itself.

This process lasted for a full day. When it was over, Jiang Jichen’s body was fully repaired, but the medicinal power within him was not yet depleted. Without hesitation, he began to charge toward the next Body Refining Realm.

BOOM!

Inside his body, the Great Innate Acupoint swelled endlessly. Then, the sixth Small Innate Acupoint within it opened, as naturally as water flowing into a channel, reaching the Perfection Realm in an instant.

But it didn’t stop there. Jiang Jichen began his breakthrough in Spirit Cultivation. The Spiritual Power in his sixth Golden Spiritual Vein rapidly liquefied, and it, too, ultimately reached the Perfection Realm.

At this point, Jiang Jichen had reached the Sixth Level of Body Refining Perfection and the Spirit Cultivation Sixth Layer Perfect Realm!

He was now only one step away from entering the Realm of Minor Grandmaster.

But even so, Jiang Jichen was already immensely powerful.

Limitless power surged through his body. Needing to vent it, Jiang Jichen abruptly stood up and charged toward a collapsed mountainside.
