Chapter 537: Chapter 538: Breakthrough during the Battle! (3rd Update)

The Corrosion Path," inherently the most domineering force between heaven and earth,

Everything between heaven and earth cannot escape corrosion, even the heavens and the fate itself will one day decay and wither.

Yet now, Chu Fengmian had directly devoured this corrosive energy, even refining it.

Far from affecting Chu Fengmian’s body, it transformed into a quintessential force, aiding Chu Fengmian in condensing the ancient war dragon’s essence blood.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Infinite Spiritual Power surged in Chu Fengmian’s body, and his realm, after devouring countless corrosion energies, broke through once again.

In a single leap, he reached the fifth level of Divine Power realm.

Deep within his body, the phantom of the ancient war dragon also solidified seven thousand five hundred drops of ancient war dragon essence blood.

"Good! Indeed, slaying such geniuses is the best method of promotion!"

Chu Fengmian felt immensely relieved in his heart.

Chu Fengmian entered the cave dwelling of the Ancient Dragon Emperor, first slaying Bai Gu the heir, then the Ghost Valley Saint Heir and the five members from the Ancient Desolate Sect, and now Luo Changhen.

With the power from these eight individuals, plus the corroded energy of this desolate day, Chu Fengmian’s strength finally ascended once more.

What Chu Fengmian now lacked was only his realm; his countless Martial Arts, Spiritual Artifacts, and blood veins were all of the highest caliber.

Once his realm was elevated, the enhancement to his strength would be terrifying. Chu Fengmian needed only one more step in power ascension.

Even facing high-tier Martial Artists of the life and death realm, Chu Fengmian was not without the power to fight.

Watching Chu Fengmian devour the corrosion energy without any adverse effects, instead, his aura continued to climb, now breaking through in one leap.

Cang Lanba’s expression could almost be described as stupefied, his eyes nearly falling out.

His corrosion energy, after all, was condensed from decades of practice in the Corrosion Path.

That single wisp of corrosion energy just now was equivalent to half his strength.

Even if a high-tier life and death realm powerhouse came, they might not be able to withstand it.

Let alone devour it, even resisting it would be incredibly difficult; the power of the Corrosion Path is such that even powerful Martial Artists must respect it.

Yet now, Chu Fengmian directly devoured the corrosion energy, transforming all its Spiritual Power into his own force.

"This, this is no longer human! He’s a devil! No, even devils can’t do this, the decaying and corruption, which even heaven and earth cannot escape, how could he possibly escape it!"

Cang Lanba racked his brains and couldn’t fathom how Chu Fengmian could possibly accomplish all this.

This was the first time someone had broken his lifelong practice of the Corrosion Path, the invincible Corrosion Path in his heart being devoured, a stimulation that drove him directly into madness.

"Cang Lanba, stop dazing, quickly make your move, taking advantage of this lad’s unstable realm just after his breakthrough, and he’s extremely weak, kill him now, and all his fortuitous encounters will be ours!"

War Demon Venerable roared, directly activating the power of the War Demon God, the six weapons in his six arms.

Sword, spear, saber, halberd, axe, lance!

Each of the six weapons was then imbued with sharp Spiritual Power, all striking at once.

Chu Fengmian’s breakthrough made the War Demon Venerable sense an opportunity, seizing it to launch a fierce attack.

A Martial Artist, at the moment of breakthrough, is at their weakest.

Because once a breakthrough is achieved, Spiritual Power must have been expended on it, creating a deficit and a moment of extreme vulnerability.

This moment was precisely the most vulnerable time for defeat.

"Chu Fengmian, you are truly too greedy! Breaking through right in front of us is giving us an opportunity! Today, your death will be due to your own greed, perish now, a person like you should not exist in the Northern Domain!"

Cang Lanba also roared loudly and suddenly gathered Spiritual Power, transforming it into a punch that he threw.

"War God Seven Forms!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Cang Lanba threw seven punches consecutively, each punch blazing as brightly as the sun itself, and the power embedded within each punch seemed capable of tearing apart countless Martial Artists present at the scene.

Behind Cang Lanba, the War God phantom followed his movements, striking out seven punches continuously.

Fourteen dazzling suns appeared in the sky.

With Cang Lanba’s command, the immense power of countless punch winds all bombarded towards Chu Fengmian.

Each sun represented the power of Cang Lanba himself, fourteen suns meant that Cang Lanba’s single punch carried fourteenth-fold power.

Such power made it a breeze to obliterate Martial Artists of the same realm.

Seeing Chu Fengmian’s breakthrough, War Demon Venerable and Cang Lanba did not hold back at all, they played all their trump cards in order to completely annihilate Chu Fengmian.

They wanted to take advantage of the moment Chu Fengmian was weak right after his breakthrough, to kill him.

"Weak phase? You think that because Chu broke through, you have an opportunity? Unfortunately, my breakthrough only means that you no longer have any chance!"

Faced with the countless Martial Arts techniques bombarding him, Chu Fengmian had an extremely relaxed expression.

"Break them all for me!"

With a sweep of his arm, a surge of Spiritual Power violently burst forth, transforming into a long rainbow.

A Spiritual Power rainbow swept across the sky, shattering the fourteen suns in front of it, causing them to fall on the spot.

What was shattered was even Cang Lanba’s Martial Arts, which were completely broken under this surge of Spiritual Power.

Cang Lanba himself was sent flying, coughing up mouthfuls of blood with a "pfft."

"How can there be such terrifying power! Wasn’t he just breaking through? How come there’s no weakness, instead his power is even more terrifying!"

War Demon Venerable watched as Cang Lanba was defeated, his entire Martial Arts shattered, he started to mentally collapse.

He thought that now with Chu Fengmian’s breakthrough, it was giving them an opportunity while he was weak, that together they could unleash power enough to utterly obliterate Chu Fengmian.

But now, Chu Fengmian’s power showed no signs of any weakness, this extreme and unstoppable power was many times stronger than just before.

"Weak?"

Chu Fengmian sneered repeatedly.

War Demon Venerable could never have guessed that Chu Fengmian had the Divine Veins.

Typical Martial Artists indeed enter a phase of weakness after a breakthrough, needing at least a few days to fully recover.

Thus, the moment of breakthrough was indeed the most dangerous.

But Chu Fengmian was different.

Chu Fengmian had the Divine Veins, the Spiritual Power he consumed during the breakthrough was instantly replenished by the Divine Veins, meaning that Chu Fengmian essentially had no concept of a weakness phase.

Once he broke through, the next moment was his most perfect state.

Their plan to exploit Chu Fengmian’s weakness right after his breakthrough to attack him was absolutely the most foolish act.
