Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 478: Divine Power Crystal

"How is this possible?"

Tian Yi looked as if he had seen a ghost, his face full of disbelief.

Originally, he thought that after Wang Ruoxie clashed head-on with this Stone Man, even if he didn’t die, he would definitely be severely injured.

Afterward, he could find an excuse to leave Wang Ruoxie behind and continue forward with Xueyao, finding a chance to get close to her.

However, he never expected that such an ordinary punch would send the Stone Man flying.

"Junior Brother Ruoxie’s strength has already reached such a level."

Xueyao was equally shocked, not expecting that Wang Ruoxie could not only contend with the Stone Man but also send it flying with a single punch, completely overpowering it.

This meant that Wang Ruoxie’s strength was far superior to that of the Stone Man.

Although with her current cultivation at the sixth layer of the Celestial Emperor Realm, she could easily kill this Stone Man, she couldn’t send it flying casually with just one punch like Wang Ruoxie did.

"It seems my physical strength now can rival the middle stage of the Celestial Emperor Realm."

Wang Ruoxie’s eyes showed a faint smile as he thought to himself.

That punch just now didn’t use any mana, nor did he employ the Five Elements Divine Fist; it was a simple punch relying purely on physical strength, yet it sent the mountain-sized Stone Man flying.

Clearly, his current physical strength was enough to rival, even surpass, that of a typical middle-stage Celestial Emperor Realm cultivator.

However, the Stone Man’s body was certainly tough and solid.

The power of his punch could probably injure or even kill a typical middle-stage Celestial Emperor, yet although the Stone Man was sent flying, it stood up intact.

"This Stone Man’s body, though formed of ordinary soil and stone from Fallen God Peak, has been nourished by divine power emanating from Divine Human Realm remains over the years, making its body far tougher than a Martial Emperor Realm cultivator’s."

Xueyao gazed at the Stone Man and said, "Luckily, this Stone Man has only existed for a few hundred years. If we encountered one over a thousand years old, even the three of us combined might not be able to contend with it."

"Roar!"

At this moment, the Stone Man shook its massive head and roared angrily as it charged toward Wang Ruoxie again.

"I won’t waste any more time with you."

Wang Ruoxie said calmly before throwing another punch.

This time, he used the Five Elements Divine Fist, and his fist was surrounded by colorful lights.

It was his first time using the Five Elements Divine Fist after perfecting it, so he was curious about the power it could unleash.

"Boom!"

Amidst the loud sounds, Wang Ruoxie sent the Stone Man flying once more.

This time, the massive body of the Stone Man shattered mid-air, turning into countless pieces of soil and stone that fell to the ground.

"This..."

Seeing this, Xueyao and Tian Yi were completely shocked, disbelief written all over their faces.

Although this Stone Man wasn’t more than a millennium old and was ordinary, its body was still incredibly hard. Even they would need to use weapons to completely destroy it.

Yet Wang Ruoxie blew up the Stone Man with a single punch.

They could feel that Wang Ruoxie’s punch was a hundred times more powerful than the previous one, and even if they tried to block it, it would be extremely challenging.

"This guy must have cultivated at least a second-grade divine technique and achieved great success with it."

Tian Yi’s eyes flickered as he thought to himself.

However, while Wang Ruoxie’s displayed strength was shocking, he didn’t believe the opponent could threaten him. If he unleashed his true power, he could still easily kill Wang Ruoxie.

Wang Ruoxie stepped forward, knelt, and picked up a thumb-sized yellow crystal from where the Stone Man had vanished.

"This is..."

Wang Ruoxie’s eyes narrowed slightly, sensing a strong fluctuation of energy within the crystal.

"Junior Brother Ruoxie, you’re quite lucky. This is a Divine Power Crystal. Although the divine power within it is far from comparable to that in a Divine Human Realm body, for us martial cultivators below the Divine Human Realm, it’s a treasure for cultivation."

Xueyao, still with shock in her eyes, spoke to Wang Ruoxie.

"These special beings on Fallen God Peak are nourished by the divine power from Divine Human Realm remains, so there’s a chance they will have these Divine Power Crystals within them."

"If we completely refine it, our cultivation power will significantly increase."

Upon hearing Xueyao’s words, Wang Ruoxie’s eyes showed curiosity as he glanced at the Divine Power Crystal in his hand.

It was a crystal formed by divine power, and while the divine power couldn’t compare to true Divine Human power, with his cultivation at the first layer of the Celestial Emperor Realm, refining it would surely improve him greatly.

"This guy’s really stumbled upon a stroke of luck. Among a hundred Stone Men, probably none would have a Divine Power Crystal, yet he got one just by killing one Stone Man."

Tian Yi’s eyes showed traces of envy; even with his cultivation at the seventh layer of the Celestial Emperor Realm, refining this crystal would boost him significantly. If not for Xueyao’s presence, he would have taken it by force.

The three continued onward, encountering many more Stone Men along the way.

However, seemingly wanting to show off in front of Xueyao or perhaps for the Divine Power Crystals, Tian Yi always rushed to fight, slaying nearly all the Stone Men.

Unfortunately, whether due to poor luck or some cosmic joke, despite killing dozens of Stone Men, he didn’t obtain a single Divine Power Crystal.

This made him inwardly curse, and his gaze towards Wang Ruoxie was increasingly hostile, as if blaming him for taking the Divine Power Crystal that should have been his.

He didn’t consider that Wang Ruoxie’s action against the first Stone Man was at his own request.

The three pressed on for several more hours, arriving outside a dense forest, where towering ancient trees stood.

"I heard from a senior sister who came to Fallen God Peak that there are many Tree-men in this forest."

Xueyao’s eyes slightly narrowed as she spoke slowly, "These Tree-men are stronger than Stone Men, and there are more of them. The trouble is that even if we smash the Tree-men to pieces, they can regrow, making them almost unkillable."

"However, nearly every Tree-man has a Divine Power Crystal inside. If we can completely kill a Tree-man, we are certain to obtain a Divine Power Crystal."
