Chapter 449: Taking the Head from a Hundred Miles Away
"I don't know how many years this body has existed, but it still retains a very strong vitality. This shows that the strength of this body must have been extremely terrifying during its lifetime."
"It's just a pity that the soul in the body is missing, either dead, gone, or..."
Xu Chen stared at the naked body in front of him. With a thought in his mind, the majestic spiritual power once again penetrated into the body. He carefully inspected the body from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, over and over again.
.
Withdrawing his mental power, Xu Chen shook his head and said: "There is no silent soul in the body. I only vaguely captured a few remaining fragments of the soul, but those soul fragments are too small, like dust, and there is no way to revive them.
, and those tiny soul fragments have no self-awareness.”
Xu Chen groped his chin.
Thinking about how to deal with this strange corpse in front of me.
Directly swallowing and refining?
The life force in the body in front of him gave him the feeling that it was more powerful than the peak seventh-level intermediate dragon.
And it's not even the slightest bit stronger.
Xu Chen immediately shook his head again.
It would be a pity to directly devour and refine this body.
He stretched out his finger and made a swipe in the air. A sharp sword energy passed through the chest of this fleshly body. With a pop, a small wound appeared on the chest.
But what stunned Xu Chen was...
The blood hasn't had time to flow out yet.
The wound healed automatically.
The healing speed is beyond imagination.
Xu Chen even doubted whether he really left a wound on the chest of the corpse.
"What an amazing recovery speed!"
Xu Chen took a breath of air.
He raised his hand and made another stroke.
This time.
He increased his intensity.
"Pfft~"
A more hideous wound appeared on the corpse's chest.
Xu Chen's eyes widened.
Keep an eye on the wound.
This time.
Although blood spurts out.
But it's only a wisp.
The subsequent blood has not yet had time to spurt out.
The wound has healed again.
"Such an astonishing healing speed is no worse than after I mastered the Qing Emperor's Secret of Immortality to a small degree."
Xu Chen's heart was filled with turmoil.
The most important thing is.
This is still the case when the body loses its soul. The body and the soul complement each other and are indispensable. If the body loses its soul, it will lose its activity within a certain period of time and then begin to decay.
Although the physical bodies of some powerful people can still remain incorruptible for tens of thousands of years, such physical bodies have basically lost their activity and vitality, and are essentially different from the one in front of them.
The corpse in front of you gives the impression that the soul has recently left the body, or that the soul has been severely damaged and fell into a deep sleep.
"Without the control of a soul, this body's healing speed is not as fast as mine. If it had a soul, and under deliberate control, wouldn't its recovery speed be far faster than mine?"
Thinking of this.
Xu Chen stared at the corpse in front of him, his eyes shining.
"It would be too wasteful to swallow it and refine it directly, but it's not my style to leave it here and ignore it. I can't just put it in the storage ring and ignore it..."
Xu Chen's eyes flashed.
Suddenly a very bold idea came to my mind.
"In the inheritance of spiritual masters, there is a method to split the soul, but my current soul is still too weak. If I forcibly split my soul into two, there is a risk of failure."
"But if I practice the Nine Tribulations Duan Shen Jue to the third level, my soul will be strong enough to support the completion of the division."
The words fell.
He dodged and entered the Heavenly Emperor's Palace directly.
…
Temple of Heavenly Emperor.
"My current soul strength has reached the mid-stage level of the Qi Sea Realm, the second level of the Nine Tribulations Duan Shen Jue. If the Nine Tribulations Duan Shen Jue reaches the third level Xiaocheng state, my soul strength will definitely usher in a leap.
Even if the growth does not reach the level of a saint, I am afraid it will still be the same."
"Among the emperor-level martial arts that I have mastered, the Nine Tribulations Divine Technique cannot be said to be the most powerful, but it is definitely the most difficult to practice."
"Cultivation of spiritual power is much more difficult than physical and spiritual power."
"And if you want to practice the Nine Tribulations Duan Shen Jue to the third level of Xiaocheng, I don't know how much time it will take."
"Time is not a problem."
"The most important thing is the bottleneck. If I am stuck at the second level of peak, without any adventure, and just rest, even if I use up all my lifespan, it will be difficult to make any progress."
A thought came into my mind.
Two soul treasures appeared in front of him.
One is the soul pearl he obtained in the Eternal Secret Realm.
The other item is the soul nourishing stone he obtained not long ago.
Whether it is a soul pearl or a soul-nurturing stone, they are both soul treasures, containing extremely pure and majestic spiritual power. As long as he refines one of these treasures ruthlessly, it should not be a big problem to break through to the third level of the Nine Tribulations Stage Divine Technique.
.
His eyes wandered over the two treasures.
at last.
His eyes fell on the soul-nurturing stone.
"First try to break through on your own. If, as I predict, you are stuck at the second peak level, it won't be too late to refine and absorb the Soul Nourishing Stone."
Thinking of this.
Xu Chen began to practice with his legs crossed and his eyes closed.
The sun and the moon fly by.
Time passed quickly in the Heavenly Emperor's Palace.
In the blink of an eye.
Sixty years have passed.
Xu Chen slowly opened his eyes, sighed, and said: "It still doesn't work. I've been stuck at the second peak for thirty years."
As early as thirty years ago, he had cultivated the Nine Tribulations Duan Shen Jue to the second peak, but just as he had expected, he encountered a bottleneck. He had been doing this for thirty years without making any progress.
I haven't made any progress in thirty years. If I just cover my head and continue practicing, I'm afraid I won't be able to make a breakthrough until I die.
Xu Chen, who realized this, looked at the soul-raising stone at hand.
"We still need to use the Soul Nourishing Stone."
Grabbing the soul-nurturing stone, Xu Chen thought, and the terrifying devouring power enveloped the soul-nurturing stone.
There was a click.
The soul nourishing stone shattered.
Wisps of pure soul power poured into Xu Chen's body.
Xu Chen felt countless subtle electric currents traveling through his body. Then, the electric current poured into the depths of his brain and merged into his soul. A pain originating from the depths of his soul was then felt.
That kind of pain cannot be described in words at all. It is as if the soul has been shocked by electricity, stinging and paralyzed.
Under this painful stimulation, gray gas actually came out of the pores of Xu Chen's body.
Xu Chen is no stranger to gray gas, which is the impurity in the soul.
As the gray gas continuously came out of the pores, the soul was growing rapidly, but soon, Xu Chen felt that he had encountered a bottleneck, as if he had reached the limit of this stage, and there was an invisible level above him.
If you want to get closer to one level, you must break through the barrier of this level.
Xu Chen's several attempts ended in failure.
Slowly he opened his eyes.
He glanced at the cracked soul nourishing stone in his hand and shouted, "Broken."
A loud sound.
The soul nourishing stone exploded into pieces.
Xu Chen opened his mouth, and a terrifying force of devouring came out. The vast amount of pure soul power in the soul-nurturing stone was swallowed by him. Finally, this majestic soul power was poured into his belly.
It entered the deepest part of my mind.
"Click~"
Vaguely, Xu Chen seemed to hear a slight cracking sound coming from the depths of his soul.
It seems true and false.
Just when he thought he heard wrongly.
"Crack, click, click..."
A series of cracking sounds continued to sound.
As the cracking sound sounded, Xu Chen noticed that the invisible barrier above his head seemed to be loose.
"Break it for me!"
With a low roar in his heart, Xu Chen ran the Nine Tribulations God Forging Technique with all his strength, sweeping in the majestic soul power and impacting the cracked level.
"boom!"
The soul power, like a tide, directly destroyed the cracked level.
The moment the level collapsed, Xu Chen actually felt like a fish entering the sea, a tiger entering the forest, and a bird flying into the sky. His whole body felt indescribably comfortable.
Comfortable.
It's really so comfortable.
The soul conveys extremely joyful emotions.
It's like shedding the old shell and being reborn.
The third level of the Nine Tribulations God Forging Technique!
Breaking through the third level of the Nine Tribulations God Forging Technique, Xu Chen's soul underwent a new transformation.
All the 18,000 pores on the body were filled with gray aura at this moment.
…
Divine tree world.
In the cave where the mysterious corpse is located.
A figure suddenly appeared out of thin air.
It's Xu Chen.
Glancing at the mysterious naked body in front of him, Xu Chen closed his eyes and said, "Let's test how strong my mental power is now!"
"Buzz~"
The Tianlang Sword appeared in front of him.
The next moment.
The Tianlang Sword turned into a ray of cold light, rushed out of the cave, out of the circle of light, then rushed all the way out of the pool, and continued shooting in one direction.
A sixth-level high-level dryad a hundred miles away from the water pool was eating its prey. With a hiss, a cold light passed through the dryad's chest, bringing up a wisp of blood.
The tree demon died with a pop.
He never knew who killed him until his death.
at the same time.
Xu Chen slowly opened his eyes.
"Although I am still unable to decapitate an enemy from a thousand miles away, with my current mental strength, it is easy to decapitate an enemy from a hundred miles away. At the limit, it is already three hundred miles away, but within a hundred miles, it is the most powerful.
, beyond a hundred miles, the power will decrease."
"My current mental strength, even if it has not reached the level of a saint, is almost there."
"Whoops~"
Tianlang Sword returns the way it came.
Floating in front of Xu Chen.
Putting away the Tianlang Sword, Xu Chen lowered his head and looked at the mysterious corpse in front of him.
