Su Yi's figure was agile as he threw a punch, demonstrating the mysteries of the Songhe Body Tempering Technique.
This method was originally the supreme technique for cultivating the foundation of martial arts. It was as still as a pine tree rooted on a cliff, towering majestically, and as agile as a celestial crane soaring in the sky, ethereal and carefree.
With this punch, Su Yi's blood and qi surged like a roaring furnace. Every acupoint in his body radiated a brilliant light, and his entire being burst forth with an overwhelming aura, reaching the pinnacle.
Bang!!
The collision of fists and claws was an absolute clash, as if two mountain ranges collided.
Between Su Yi and the Crimson Flame Azure-eyed Beast, a surging torrent of power burst forth, causing the nearby air to collapse and groan, and the ground to churn up.
Su Yi's figure shook violently, retreating several steps, his blood and qi surging.
With each step he took, the ground cracked and collapsed, the sound echoing like thunder.
"Not bad, but not enough! Come again!"
Su Yi's deep black pupils shimmered with brilliance. With a loud shout, he dashed forward, his green robe fluttering, his imposing figure resembling a dragon emerging from the abyss.
"Roar!!"
The Crimson Flame Azure-eyed Beast roared skyward, its voice resembling thunder.
Its ferocity was even more formidable. Its body moved through the void like a white light, not only incredibly fast, but each attack was as swift as lightning and as dominant as raging fire.
With a single strike of its massive claws, it could easily kill an ordinary Grandmaster, incredibly terrifying.
In the cave, Cha Jin's back had long been covered in a chill, her beautiful face changing constantly, and her mind already tense.
If it were her, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to withstand even a single attack...
But Su Yi was different.
Despite being a peerless swordsman capable of wielding thunder and lightning, he completely refrained from using them and instead confronted the enemy bare-handed.
What astonished Cha Jin the most was that even in such intense combat, Su Yi showed no signs of falling behind!
Whenever faced with a life-threatening threat, he narrowly avoided it, his footwork so exquisite that it was truly breathtaking.
However, even so, Su Yi couldn't gain the upper hand in a short amount of time.
The Crimson Flame Azure-eyed Beast was too powerful, its claws spewing flames, its aura filled with ferocity. With a light strike, it could shatter rocks and destroy trees.
Moreover, it was clearly intelligent. When attacking, it evaded and moved skillfully, with a precise sense of advance and retreat, completely different from other mindless and ferocious beasts.
Boom!
In the darkness of the night, a fierce battle unfolded between a man and a beast. The area within a thousand zhang had become their battlefield, with the vegetation, rocks, and stones long shattered into ashes. The ground was riddled with countless cracks and ravines, a horrifying sight to behold.
This kind of battle was more terrifying than the fights of the world's top Grandmasters.
Cha Jin had long been trembling with fear, unable to control herself.
At this moment, she finally realized the vast disparity between herself and Su Yi.
It was like the difference between heaven and earth!
After all, Su Yi was only at the Early Qi Gathering Realm...
The thought of this fact made Cha Jin feel on the verge of collapse. How could there be such a monstrous individual in this world?
"I just hope that Senior Brother will never bring people from the sect here..."
Cha Jin sighed inwardly.
Her Senior Brother, who had attacked Su Yi with the Symbol Sword Treasure before, had long escaped and gone back to the sect to gather reinforcements to deal with Su Yi.
But now, Cha Jin would rather the sect not send anyone.
"You damn beast, hahaha!"
Suddenly, Su Yi's laughter resounded through the battlefield, sounding incredibly joyful.
His clothes were torn in many places, leaving behind bloody scratches. He looked as if he had been bathed in blood.
However, he appeared to be extremely happy, his spirit soaring, his momentum becoming more and more formidable. His domineering and unrestrained power left Cha Jin dumbfounded.
Normally, Su Yi was lazy and arrogant, lazy to the core and arrogant to the core. His seemingly serene temperament was actually an attitude of disdain for everything.
Even though he was only seventeen years old, he behaved like an indifferent and unfeeling old monster, unaffected by praise or humiliation.
Those who didn't know him would treat him as an ordinary youth.
But once you provoked him, you would experience the despair and fear of being completely dominated.
And now, Su Yi was completely different from the ordinary!
He reveled in his wildness, moving freely in battle, emanating an aura of dominance and disdain for all.
Even with injuries, it did not diminish his peerless elegance.
Seeing him laughing heartily, witnessing his fierce and passionate fighting spirit, Cha Jin's beautiful eyes became trance-like.
A young man as if descended from immortality, his aura could rival that of a raging bull!
In the midst of the battle, the Crimson Flame Azure-eyed Beast remained ferocious, but numerous bloodstains and fist imprints became visible on its snow-white fur. Occasionally, it would emit angry roars of pain that shook the mountains and sent sand and stones flying.
Suddenly, a ruthless gleam appeared in the beast's emerald eyes. Its fur seemed to ignite, releasing surging flames, and its imposing aura skyrocketed.
In that instant, it transformed into a blazing sun, radiating brilliance that illuminated the mountains and rivers, dispersing the dense fog.
The winds and clouds changed their colors.
"Roar!!!"
The Crimson Flame Azure-eyed Beast roared towards the sky, its figure resembling a burning sun as it swooped down on Su Yi.
Undoubtedly, the demonic beast had been driven to desperation and unleashed its ultimate move.
Vaguely, above its figure, a colossal phantom appeared, towering like a vast sky. The phantom's feet trampled countless stars, reaching an unimaginable size. It was akin to a legendary divine beast, exuding boundless terror!
"What is this?"
Cha Jin's delicate body trembled, her knees weakening as an indescribable chill of fear gripped her heart.
Almost simultaneously, a hint of fiery light surged in the depths of Su Yi's black pupils. No wonder this monstrous creature could manipulate divine flames. It turned out that it possessed a trace of the rare "Suan Ni" bloodline...
The Suan Ni was considered one of the "Eighteen True Spirits" in the vast wilderness of Jiuzhou. Resembling a lion and a tiger, it enjoyed devouring smoke and fire, possessed immense strength, and was naturally gifted in controlling wind, thunder, and earthfire. It was especially proficient in the art of misty illusions.
The once-renowned "Mist Emperor" that shook the Jiuzhou was a formidable demon cultivator who possessed the bloodline of the Suan Ni.
Although the current Crimson Flame Azure-eyed Beast only had a minuscule amount of the Suan Ni bloodline, in this secular nation of Da Zhou, it was already a rare existence among the Ninth Rank Demonic Beasts.
In that instant, Su Yi also felt the overwhelming pressure closing in on him, causing his skin to tingle, and his body and mind to sense an extreme danger.
However, it was precisely this extreme danger that stimulated Su Yi's Qi and blood, making them surge like furious waves. Vaguely, all one hundred and eight Spiritual Apertures within his body seemed to be greatly stimulated, boiling like miniature lakes.
"Good!"
Su Yi had been waiting for this moment.
He burst into laughter, his sleeves billowing as 108 rays of mysterious light shot out from his tall figure. Each ray resembled a soaring sword light, piercing through the sky with a resounding clang. In the void, they formed one circle after another, intertwining into a dazzling, vibrant tapestry of sword shadows, radiant as brocade, undulating like ripples, and exquisitely magnificent.
From afar, his figure resembled that of a deity, surrounded and protected by successive layers of resplendent sword shadows. Such a spectacle appeared sacred and magnificent in the darkness of the night.
Boom!
The Scarlet Flame Azure Eyed Beast charged forward, moving like a scorching sun, its enormous shadow seeming to engulf the heavens and earth.
But as it came into contact with the 108 mysterious sword shadows, the massive lion-like illusion instantly shattered like a bubble.
The enraged Scarlet Flame Azure Eyed Beast suddenly trembled, sensing the danger.
Almost at the same time, Su Yi extended his hand in the air.
Everything became calm and peaceful.
Then, in that instant--
The towering figure of the Scarlet Flame Azure Eyed Beast came to a sudden halt, as if it was being oppressed by an ancient divine mountain, crashing heavily onto the ground with a resounding thud.
The impact created a large crater in the ground, with shattered stones flying in all directions.
The Scarlet Flame Azure Eyed Beast struggled to get up, but could only let out a resentful roar before collapsing again as if paralyzed. Its fur dulled, crimson blood oozing from its skin, and its bones and tendons shattered beyond count.
With a single palm strike, Su Yi suppressed this ninth-rank rare beast, equivalent to a Martial Grandmaster in strength.
Looking at Su Yi, his figure tall and majestic, the rotating sword shadows surrounding him shimmered and radiated a brilliant and magnificent light, as if he was a divine being.
This scene stunned Chajin, leaving her completely dumbfounded and filled with shock.
Such an overwhelmingly domineering scene would be unforgettable for her entire life.
It was terrifying!
It seemed like a battle of immortals, subduing a world-shaking monstrous beast, beyond anything in the mortal realm and far surpassing any martial artist in this world.
"I finally broke through..."
At this moment, an indescribable satisfaction surged in Su Yi's heart.
Within his body, all 108 spiritual apertures were like miniature secret realms, shining brightly and transparent, filled with mystical and ethereal phenomena, shrouded in chaos and unfathomable mystery.
This was the "Harmonization of Spiritual Apertures"!
In his past life, although Su Yi had refined all the spiritual apertures throughout his body, only 72 of them had given birth to true spirituality.
This flaw had caused him to spend countless precious resources to barely make up for it when he reached the realm of the Emperor. However, even so, it had already affected the foundation of his initial cultivation.
But at this moment, during the battle with the Scarlet Flame Azure Eyed Beast, he seized the opportunity and successfully refined spirituality in all 108 spiritual apertures at once!
Each spiritual aperture was like a miniature secret realm, giving birth to marvelous phenomena that could connect with the power of heaven and earth and reflect the light of the Great Dao.
This level of martial attainment was extremely rare even in the vast land of the Nine Provinces, unparalleled and unprecedented.
Thus, Su Yi could be considered to have fully refined the Initial Qi Realm to perfection, with a profound foundation that far exceeded the same period in his past life!
"I wonder what profound mysteries lie within the phenomena in my spiritual apertures..."
Su Yi quietly contemplated the changes within himself when suddenly, a strange tremor occurred in his sea of consciousness.
Following that, each of the 108 spiritual apertures within him suddenly emitted a brilliant light, creating a peculiar rhythm that resonated with the tremor of the Nine Abyssal Sword within his sea of consciousness, forming a marvelous harmony and resonance.
This change caught Su Yi off guard.
When he reacted, he saw that within each spiritual aperture, the previously chaotic and mystical phenomena had manifested as a virtual sword shadow!
Each virtual sword shadow was exactly the same as the Nine Abyssal Sword in his sea of consciousness!
The only difference was that the
