Chapter 605: He now has the qualifications to go toe-to-toe with a true saint!
Chen Changsheng was overjoyed.
He suppressed the immense pleasure brought by the breakthrough, maintained a sliver of clarity in his mind, and circulated his cultivation technique with all his might, beginning to frantically absorb and refine this power.
He knew that this kind of opportunity was once in a lifetime!
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to elevate his cultivation to an unprecedented level!
His physical body, under the operation of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, was like a bottomless pit, greedily devouring the power of fortune.
The physical body, which was already comparable to a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, began to surge in strength once again. Every inch of flesh and every bone shone with an immortal treasure light.
Under the illumination of the Shangqing Immortal Law, his primordial spirit resonated with the humanistic spirit contained within his destiny, and his understanding of the Great Dao began to grow at an exponential rate.
Many previously obscure and difficult-to-understand laws and mysteries became clear and understandable at this moment, as if they were meant for him to comprehend.
His aura, too, continued to surge upwards amidst this frenzied increase!
Peak of the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!
Late-stage Primordial Golden Immortal!
Inside the cave, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were speechless at the horrifying scene before them.
They anticipated that Chen Changsheng would break through, but they never dreamed that it would be in such a rocket-like way!
"This...this is already in the later stages?"
Da Yu rubbed his eyes, looking utterly incredulous.
It should be understood that at the Quasi-Saint level, each advancement in a minor realm requires countless eons of arduous cultivation and serendipitous opportunities.
But Chen Changsheng was different. In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he went from the early stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm to the late stage.
If this gets out, all the quasi-saints and powerful beings in the entire prehistoric world will probably be so ashamed that they'd want to crawl into a hole in the ground.
"His foundation is too solid."
A sharp light flashed in Emperor Fuxi's eyes; he had discerned the key to the matter.
"Even ordinary quasi-saints, if they were to obtain such an opportunity, would not dare to absorb it so recklessly. This is because their foundation simply cannot withstand the impact of such terrifying power. Forcibly absorbing it would only lead to an unstable foundation or even cause them to suffer a qi deviation."
"But look at him, although his aura is surging, he is as steady as Mount Tai, without the slightest sense of instability."
"His path of proving the Dao through force is inherently about accumulating strength before unleashing it. His previous accumulation has already reached an unbelievable level. Now, with the help of the human race's fortune, he's like a dragon entering the sea, soaring into the sky!"
After Fuxi explained it this way, everyone suddenly understood.
The look in their eyes as they looked at Chen Changsheng contained not only shock, but also admiration and respect.
This young man is not only a prodigy, but also a self-disciplined ascetic who is ruthless towards himself.
At this moment, Chen Changsheng was completely immersed in the thrill of his rapidly increasing cultivation level.
The power of a late-stage Primordial Golden Immortal surged within him, and the feeling of controlling everything intoxicated him.
But he didn't stop.
Because he sensed that the power of human destiny had not yet been exhausted!
He can go even higher!
"continue!"
Chen Changsheng roared inwardly, pushing his cultivation technique to its limit.
His body seemed to transform into a giant vortex, frantically devouring all the energy around him.
The entire human fortune of Huoyun Cave became somewhat disordered because of his actions.
Upon seeing this, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors immediately intervened, each unleashing a burst of magical power to help stabilize the surrounding space and suppress the turbulent fortune.
With these ancient sages of humanity protecting him, Chen Changsheng had no more worries.
After stabilizing his late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal status, his aura once again began to rise slowly but steadily!
The peak of the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal!
He was only one step away from the legendary Great Perfection of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!
That was a huge threshold.
Once you cross that threshold, you will be among the top quasi-saints, and your strength will undergo a tremendous change, becoming a half-step sub-saint!
In the entire prehistoric world, apart from those ancient monsters who survived from antiquity, such as the Styx Ancestor and the Kunpeng Demon Master, there are very few who can reach this level!
Chen Changsheng's heart also jumped.
He could feel that the last thin film was incredibly tough.
It seems that relying solely on the remaining power of luck is somewhat insufficient to break through.
"Almost there!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Chen Changsheng's eyes.
Not to be missed!
Fight!
With a thought, the three nine-grade lotus flowers blooming above the auspicious clouds, representing his Dao fruit, shone brightly at that moment!
He actually wanted to burn a portion of his own Dao Fruit essence to forcefully break through this final barrier!
"No!"
Upon seeing this, Emperor Fuxi's expression changed, and he was about to intervene.
Burning one's Dao Fruit may bring temporary power, but it damages one's foundation and has endless consequences.
However, at that moment, something unexpected happened!
Just as Chen Changsheng was about to burn the essence of his Dao Fruit for a final gamble...
The broken, god-slaying spear that had been lying dormant inside him, dug out from under the futon of the Tongtian Sect Leader, suddenly trembled violently without warning!
hum!
A surge of pure, yet boundless, demonic power, brimming with the aura of slaughter and destruction, poured out from the spear and instantly merged into Chen Changsheng's limbs and bones!
This power is completely different from the majestic and righteous aura of human destiny.
It is domineering, it is pure, it is filled with the will to destroy everything!
It is the original power of the Demon Ancestor Rahu!
The appearance of this force was like pouring a ladle of cold water into a pot of boiling oil.
The power within Chen Changsheng's body instantly became violent!
The vastness of humanity's fortune and the killing intent of the demonic origin—two completely opposite yet equally powerful forces—engaged in the most intense battle within his body!
"not good!"
The Emperor Xuanyuan's expression changed drastically.
"What kind of power is this? Such terrifying killing intent! How could this kid harbor such an evil thing within him?"
"It's the aura of the Demon Ancestor Rahu!"
Emperor Fuxi's expression also became more solemn than ever before.
"He carries Rahu's demonic weapons!"
"This is bad! With the two forces clashing, he'll explode and die!"
Several human sages were extremely anxious and were about to take forceful action to suppress the abnormal movement within Chen Changsheng's body.
However, Chen Changsheng, who was at the center of the storm, was not in as much pain as they had imagined.
He was ecstatic!
He discovered that although the two forces were colliding fiercely, they did not damage his fundamental nature.
On the contrary, in this extreme collision and clash, an even more terrifying and purer energy was generated!
This newborn energy transcends both humanity and the demonic path, carrying a sense of primordial chaos and the return of all laws to oneness!
The seemingly indestructible barrier of the Great Perfection of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm was as fragile as a sheet of paper in the face of this new energy!
"Now!"
Chen Changsheng had a sudden inspiration and seized this fleeting opportunity, guiding the newly generated chaotic energy to crash into it fiercely!
Boo!
A soft sound.
That final barrier, which had trapped countless quasi-saints and exhausted their endless efforts, was breached so easily.
boom!
An indescribable aura of terror surged forth from Chen Changsheng!
This aura has transcended the realm of ordinary quasi-saints, carrying a trace of the immortal and indestructible charm of a saint!
The entire Fire Cloud Cave trembled violently under the impact of this aura!
Inside the cave, the laws manifested, and earth, water, fire, and wind surged, as if about to return to chaos!
The barrier set up by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors shattered inch by inch in the face of this aura!
The eight of them were all jolted back a step by the force of this aura, their faces filled with horror!
"This...this is..."
Shennong's voice trembled slightly.
"The Great Perfection of the Primordial Golden Immortal!"
"A half-step Quasi-Saint!"
Emperor Fuxi spoke each word carefully, his eyes fixed on Chen Changsheng, filled with shock and a hint of envy that even he himself didn't realize.
The three emperors, as sages of the human race, were blessed by the fortune of the human race, and their strength was only at this level.
But how many years and how many hardships did they endure to get to this point?
How long did it take Chen Changsheng to cultivate from an ordinary person to his current level?
century?
Or shorter?
evildoer!
A true prodigy!
At this moment, Chen Changsheng slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes became incredibly deep, as if they contained the birth and death of a universe.
He gently exhaled a breath of stale air, which, upon landing, transformed into a chaotic current that corroded a deep pit into the hard ground.
He could feel that the magical power within his body had undergone a qualitative change.
It is no longer just pure immortal essence, but carries a trace of "Dao power" that only saints can possess.
He felt stronger than ever before.
He was confident that if he were to face Guang Chengzi again now, he wouldn't even need to use any magic weapons; he could completely suppress him with his own power alone!
This is the power of a Great Perfection Golden Immortal, a half-step Quasi-Saint!
Below the sages, I am the pinnacle!
A powerful sense of confidence welled up within him.
He slowly stood up from the ground, feeling the explosive power within him, and felt an urge to express it.
He needed to test just how powerful he had become.
He turned around and looked at the empty cave wall.
Then, under the astonished gazes of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, he slowly raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.
He did not use any supernatural powers or activate any magical energy.
I just wanted to test my limits using the purest physical strength.
The next moment, he threw a punch!
This punch was nothing special.
There was no earth-shattering momentum, no dazzling brilliance.
It's like an ordinary person casually waving their arm.
However, the moment this punch was thrown, the expressions of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors changed drastically in an instant!
Their pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints!
Because in their perception, as Chen Changsheng threw this punch, the space in front of him was neither torn apart nor shattered.
It's like a piece of paper being erased from a painting by an eraser!
An absolute void, the size of a fist, pitch black as ink, from which even light could not escape, appeared out of thin air!
That was not a spatial rift, but the complete annihilation of the laws of space!
"hiss!"
Even someone as powerful as Emperor Xuanyuan couldn't help but gasp in shock.
"This is... pure physical strength?"
His voice was filled with disbelief.
He had heard of proving the truth through force.
The twelve ancestral witches of the witch clan followed this path, possessing incredibly strong physical bodies capable of shaking heaven and earth.
Even for the Twelve Ancestral Witches, it was by no means easy to unleash a law-annihilating effect with a single punch using only their physical strength!
Just how strong is this kid's physical body?
However, what shocked them even more was yet to come!
As that space vanished, an invisible fist force, its momentum undiminished, slammed fiercely into the stone wall of the cave.
Buzz!
The entire Fire Cloud Cave, this place where the human race's fortune converges, this sacred land blessed by the laws of humanity and whose solidity is comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, at this moment, actually emitted a buzzing sound that could not bear the burden and trembled violently.
On the stone wall, the murals that etched the history of humankind flickered in and out of view.
Streams of dark yellow energy surged in from all directions, frantically repairing the areas impacted by the fist's force.
The laws governing the entire Fire Cloud Cave were thrown into a brief period of chaos and trembling because of this punch.
silence.
A deathly silence.
Inside the cave, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the eight most outstanding sages of the human race, all seemed to be frozen in place, staring blankly at Chen Changsheng and his right hand, which was still in a fist-pumping posture, unable to utter a single word.
Their hearts were already in turmoil, a raging storm was brewing!
They knew better than anyone how terrifying the defenses of Fire Cloud Cave were.
This is the foundation of humanity, protected by the fortune of the entire human race, and further blessed by the laws of Heaven.
Let alone ordinary quasi-saints, even top quasi-saints like them, if they went all out, wouldn't be able to leave a trace here.
But now, Chen Changsheng, with just a casual punch, using pure physical strength, has shaken the laws of the entire Fire Cloud Cave!
What terrifying power this is!
This is no longer the power of a quasi-saint!
This is the power that truly touches the threshold of sainthood!
"A monster... what a monster..."
Yu opened his mouth, but in the end, he could only manage to utter this one sentence.
Looking at Chen Changsheng's not particularly burly body, he felt as if he were facing not a person, but an ancient ferocious beast in human skin!
Chen Changsheng himself was also startled by the power of this punch.
He slowly withdrew his fist, looking at his fair and slender hand without a single scar, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"That strong?"
He himself could hardly believe it.
He could feel that he hadn't even used 30% of his strength in that punch.
If one were to unleash their full power, coupled with the Great Dao Thunder Armor, the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique, or even the God-Slaying Spear...
How devastating must that power be?
He even had a feeling that he might now be qualified to compete with a true saint!
Of course, it was just an arm wrestling match.
The sage's primordial spirit resides in the Heavenly Dao, imperishable through countless eons, immortal and indestructible, something he cannot contend with at present.
But at least, he now had the confidence to protect himself, or even fight back, in front of a sage!
