Stronger from Earth

Chapter 426 - 418: Purple Blood Golden Body

In a battle fought with all his might, Wang Xuan felt no fear of the supreme youth’s unparalleled Immortal Sword, fighting fiercely and forgetting everything else.

At the cost of being constantly injured, he continued to fight the supreme youth. Though he was not a match, Wang Xuan was immersed in the experience.

With each passing minute, his sword grew faster, sharper, and more resolute.

In terms of Sword Dao, the supreme youth, an unparalleled Sword Immortal, was a terrifyingly strong figure, a great object of study, and fighting him significantly enhanced his skills.

Above Immortal Martial Mountain, rumbling sounds of thundering battles echoed for a whole day until the supreme youth’s body turned transparent.

He had not lost; his disappearance was merely because he was not a real person. Nor had he won, and his purpose was not to kill Wang Xuan.

For him, there was no point in that. It was meaningful to manifest and have a thrilling battle with Wang Xuan, to discuss Dao through swordplay, and to half-fight and half-mentor this junior.

"Young man, Sword Dao excels in combat power. If you diligently research it, you will soon be able to condense a Sword Domain and become a True Immortal of the Sword Dao!"

"Thank you for your guidance today, senior," Wang Xuan said in a deep voice.

He felt unsatisfied for not defeating the supreme youth. In a battle of the same realm, he could suppress the radiance of the Immortal Holy Land, reigning in contemporary times. Yet today, from start to finish, he never gained the upper hand.

However, he was not discouraged. Even with a low realm, the imprint of an Immortal was still an Immortal, and no one in the world would have achieved a different outcome.

Moreover, he had gained so much from today’s battle.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the image of the supreme youth gradually dispersed, eliciting sighs. Wang Xuan retracted his Creation Domain and slowly descended.

He did not know if his previous battle would leave an imprint in the world, serving as a checkpoint at the peak combat power of the Early Period of the Jade Platform Realm, to challenge potential future peerless talents.

The strength he had demonstrated earlier could easily vanquish one or two True Immortals; if he became an Immortal in the future, this imprint might see its combat power magnified several times over, perhaps even more.

At that time, those who came after him would face an adversary as undefeatable as he did today against the supreme youth.

The Thunder Sea above had long dissipated, and Wang Xuan safely passed the Jade Platform Realm’s Celestial Tribulation. However, considering how difficult the Jade Platform Realm’s Celestial Tribulation was, one could only imagine how terrifying the tribulations of the Three True Immortal Realms would be.

After a day and a night of fierce fighting, Wang Xuan had expended a significant amount of his Life Origin. Even though Creation Magical Power compensated continuously, it could not fully replenish him.

"Time Spirit," Wang Xuan summoned once again, communicating with the Tower of Space-Time in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Accelerate the ’Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art’ until Perfection at the Fifth Turn."

The Tower of Space-Time began to slowly rotate, releasing pure attributeless source power, which flowed through Wang Xuan’s meridians and flesh, transforming into the essence of various spiritual materials needed for cultivation.

The ’Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art’ operated rapidly, condensing drop after drop of purple blood at his heart. With purple as the base, all his blood began to transform.

Like a great river, the surging blood was filled with boundless life force, and in the blink of an eye, Wang Xuan stepped into the Fifth Turn of the ’Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art.’

In that moment, enveloped by the power of time, he practiced the ’Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art’ in solitude and monotony until success.

"Poof!"

People saw Wang Xuan seated cross-legged, seemingly meditating to relieve his injuries. Suddenly, Wang Xuan spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"Could it be that he was severely injured in the previous battle, resulting in serious aftereffects? Otherwise, why would he be expelling so much black blood?" someone whispered.

"Poof! Poof!"

Wang Xuan spat out two more large mouthfuls of black blood, nearly a liter in total, devoid of any vitality or energy fluctuation.

People worried, their hearts racing each time Wang Xuan vomited black blood, until he had expelled so much that they were only left astonished.

"How can anyone spew this much blood?"

The blood flowed out as if it cost nothing; even the strongest physique could not endure this, as blood is the essence of the body and cannot be wasted.

After a long while, Wang Xuan finally stopped spitting black blood, and his previously lethargic aura transformed, soaring in an instant.

His surging vitality pierced the clouds; Wang Xuan’s blood, now all turned purple, led to a transformation of his flesh body, with tendons and muscles turning to a purple-golden hue.

A powerful punch was like a flood dragon breaking out of the sea; even such a simple physical punch caused the air a hundred meters ahead to explode, forming a vacuum.

Where the fist extended, space vibrated continuously, undulating like waves.

Space is incredibly sturdy but possesses a certain tension. When an object’s energy and speed reach a certain level, it is dragged by space, similar to how air resistance affects flying objects.

The speed and strength of Wang Xuan’s punch were astonishingly powerful, nearing the level where his physical body could tear through space.

"The strength of my body has probably doubled compared to before! Now, every drop of blood in my body is comparable to my past vital blood, hinting at the immense quantity of pure source power consumed.

Blood is the nourishment of the body, so it’s no surprise that the flesh body is metamorphosing along with it."

His physique probably surpassed most Grotto Void True Immortals, with his strength, speed, and defense at the pinnacle levels of the Celestial Immortal Domain.

The flesh body is the foundation for cultivators; the stronger the body, the more it boosts their magical power and primordial spirit, significantly altering combat power.

Purple blood and a purple-golden body are now his unique bloodline, a legacy for Lin Cheng’s unborn child, carrying this distinctive bloodline.

"This is my bloodline, for now, let’s call it the Purple Blood Golden Body, or even the Purple Golden Body," Wang Xuan thought silently.
