Chapter 187 - 128: Light-Speed Leveling, Like a War God
Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes.
Night had completely fallen.
There was no light source in the underground station.
But the entire space was enveloped in the ethereal blue glow of the Source Crystals, like a fantastical dream.
A fierce drive surged within Lin Ye.
He had a nagging feeling that if he didn’t open the entire Conception Vessel in one go today, his mind would never be at ease.
’If I don’t have enough Qi and Blood, I’ll make up for it with quality!’
’After all, he was surrounded by Source Crystals. The one thing he didn’t lack was the energy needed to refine his Qi and Blood!’
Like picking fruit, Lin Ye broke off piece after piece of Source Crystal from the walls and ground, swallowing them without hesitation.
Although these Source Crystals weren’t as effective at strengthening him as the first time he refined his Qi and Blood, they could still purify and temper his existing Qi and Blood over and over again.
Each Source Crystal he swallowed transformed into a torrent of the most violent, primal source energy, washing through his entire body.
Lin Ye felt his body turn into a super-furnace running at full blast.
Under the repeated impacts and compression of this energy, every drop of Qi and Blood in his body grew thicker and thicker, as if transforming into some higher-density form.
Gradually, Lin Ye could feel that no matter how many more Source Crystals he devoured, the quality of the Qi and Blood in his body seemed to have reached a limit, unable to improve in the slightest.
Only then did he stop devouring them.
By now, the ethereal blue light in the massive underground space, once as brilliant as a galaxy, had grown dim and sparse. He had consumed almost every single Source Crystal!
Lin Ye glanced down at his skin.
His body had also begun to emit a faint, ethereal blue glow.
He had no doubt that if he were to just stand in a crowd now, the high concentration of radiation emanating from his body alone would be enough to kill hundreds of ordinary people in a short time.
He was basically a walking source of contamination.
A thought crossed Lin Ye’s mind.
He tried to channel the new, viscous, lava-like Qi and Blood within him to his fingertip.
The next moment...
FZZT!
A translucent, crimson blade of light shot from his body, leaving a faint trail in the air as it silently struck a wall several meters away.
Like a hot knife through butter, the crimson blade sank silently into the cement pillar.
Lin Ye looked up.
He saw a cut half a foot deep on the wall!
Lin Ye’s gaze froze.
’This is...’
’Externalized Qi and Blood?’
’Impossible!’
’He was currently only in the Vein Opening Realm. Although he’d broken through several barriers in a row, he was still only in the middle stage.’
’And of his Eight Extraordinary Meridians, only one—the Conception Vessel—was close to being fully opened.’
’This technique—condensing Qi and Blood into Gang Sha and using it to attack enemies outside the body—was the exclusive hallmark of a Martial Artist in the Gang Condensation Realm!’
’Wait...’
A flash of insight struck Lin Ye.
’Isn’t the essence of the Gang Condensation Realm just refining and condensing all of one’s Qi and Blood to the absolute limit, transforming it from "Qi" into "Gang," thereby gaining the ability to project it externally to harm enemies?’
’And hadn’t he just used a massive amount of Source Crystals to perform an extreme, cost-is-no-object refinement of his own Qi and Blood, over and over again...’
’Wasn’t this just taking an unconventional path to complete the most crucial step of "Gang Condensation" ahead of schedule?’
A wild thought surfaced in his mind.
’Could it be that he, while still in the Vein Opening Realm, had already gained power approaching the Gang Condensation Realm?’
Lin Ye pondered for a moment before dismissing the idea.
’A true expert of the Gang Condensation Realm has all the Qi and Blood in their body completely converted into another, higher-level energy—Primordial Gang Sha.’
’That is a fundamental transformation of the energy’s essence.’
’What he had in his body right now should still be just Qi and Blood. It was simply that its quality was absurdly high, making it a "Pseudo-Gang Sha" that was infinitely close to true Gang Sha.’
’Perhaps in all of Great Xia, or even the entire Human Realm, you couldn’t find a second freak like him.’
’Because for a normal Martial Artist to break through to the Gang Condensation Realm, they must first open all twelve main meridians and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. The total amount of their Qi and Blood and their Cultivation Realm would then naturally lead to the transformation when the time is right.’
’Who else would, while in the Middle Stage of Meridian Opening, use such an absurdly extravagant method to temper the quality of their Qi and Blood over and over?’
Regardless, this was a massive, pleasant surprise.
Feeling the ceaselessly surging, lava-like power within him, Lin Ye let out a long breath.
He looked inward again, gathering all the remaining Qi and Blood in his body once more.
Target—the Chest Acupoint!
This time.
The total volume was far less than before, but the crimson Qi and Blood, condensed to the absolute limit, still formed an unstoppable spear.
The final city gate burst open on impact!
It was utterly devastating, an unstoppable force!
The moment the Chest Acupoint was broken through, the entire Conception Vessel—from the Huiyin to the Chest Acupoint—was completely connected!
Lin Ye felt a marvelous chemical reaction occur inside his body.
The newly opened Conception Vessel was like the final piece of a puzzle, perfectly connecting with the twelve main meridians that had previously flowed separately.
An unprecedented sense of harmony—endless, self-sustaining, and complete—welled up within him.
If his Qi and Blood before were like rivers, now they were a vast water system connecting rivers and lakes!
The explosive power and lethality of his Qi and Blood might not have undergone another qualitative change.
But with his meridians interconnected, it meant he could now mobilize his Qi and Blood more smoothly and freely in battle, and his recovery efficiency would be greatly enhanced.
To put it simply.
He could last longer.
In just over two hours.
Lin Ye’s cultivation realm had skyrocketed from the Early Stage of Meridian Opening Realm directly into the Mid-stage of Meridian Opening Realm.
