Chapter 112: The Great General's Tomb Opens

  "The sword's momentum is like a mountain, crushing everything."

  Watching the incoming punch, Huang Yu's face was solemn and serious. This punch was terrifyingly powerful, far surpassing that of an early-stage Lei Jie cultivator.

  Fearsome power, astonishing control.

  However, Huang Yu was not worried, this punch, he could block it himself.

  Sword aura, terrifying sword aura, spreading out.

  Seeing Huang Yu's sword momentum, Fang Qizheng nodded slightly, his strength had indeed made significant progress, enough to contend with the mid-term of Lei Jie, and had already reached Fang Qizheng's goal in mind.

  "What a magnificent sword aura, but it's still lacking, the sword aura is not condensed enough, shatter it for me." Fang Qizheng shouted, her fist striking the long sword, instantly dispersing Huang Yu's boundless sword aura.

  This punch dispersed his own sword momentum, and Huang Yu retreated several steps back.

  Although I had expected it, I still felt a sense of frustration in my heart. This sword move wasn't even one of my strongest, yet it was so easily broken through, and the disappointment in my heart wasn't small.

  Is the gap between one's own strength and a warrior in the realm of yin and yang really that big?

  It seems that I still need to work hard, work hard to level up and cultivate myself.

  However, Huang Yu was unwilling to give up at this point and wanted to see how far his strongest power had reached.

  "Sister, be careful, this is my strongest attack." Huang Yu gripped the long sword tightly with both hands, surrounded by purple lightning, his eyes narrowed, and he struck with all his might.

  "Raijin's Wrath!"

  With a loud roar from Huang Yu, he transformed into a giant purple dragon and charged towards Fang Qincheng. The dragon's power was astonishing, its speed extremely fast, as if it wanted to shatter the entire sky.

  "Good, good, good." Fang Ziqing saw Huang Yu's move and her eyes sparkled. This sword, its power was more than double that of the previous one, and it could even rival the late stage of the Thunder Tribulation Realm. She was shocked, too shocked. A cross-level challenge had actually reached such a terrifying level. To think he was only at the fourth layer of the Yuan Shen Realm.

  Huang Yu's sword move was terrifying, but it couldn't harm Fang Qizheng in the slightest. His hands spread apart, his ten fingers stretched out, and a bolt of purple lightning burst forth from between them, forming a huge net that trapped Huang Yu's fearsome thunder dragon.

  "Received."

  A soft shout, and the purple lightning net trapped its long sword, taking it back.

  Huang Yu panted heavily, this move had consumed all his strength, but unexpectedly, it was easily broken by Fang Qizheng.

  A sense of defeat I've never felt before.

  It was really a blow to Huang Yu.

  Even their weapons were taken away.

  Huang Yu was once extremely confident, but now Huang Yu is no longer so confident.

  The yin-yang realm is so terrifying that I don't even have a chance, if I were to encounter a strong yin-yang practitioner at the Great General's tomb, wouldn't I be in trouble just trying to run away?

  However, Fang Zhiqing saw the depression in Huang Yu's heart and smiled slightly: "You're already discouraged?"

  "I..."

  "If that's the case, then you're not destined to be a master." Fang Qizheng sighed and said, "A martial artist, if they can't even withstand a little setback, will absolutely not be able to go far on this path. Even if they have extraordinary talent, reaching the level of one in ten thousand, it's still the same."

  "I..."

  "Your qualifications are good, I don't deny it, but you must have a heart as firm as iron and stone, not moved by external things at all. Even if the mountain collapses and the world is destroyed, you still have to hold on to your original heart." Fang Qizheng said, "Only by holding on to your original heart can you go further on this path."

  "Sister, I understand." Huang Yu actually felt a little down for just that moment, but he was still confident in himself. After all, he had an advantage that others didn't - the omnipotent cultivation system and Lulu's help, which meant he was destined to be different from others and stand at the peak of this world.

  Although there are some people standing in front of me now, who seem to be stronger than me at the moment, it won't take long before I can trample them all under my feet.

  "Your qualifications are excellent, far surpassing mine, but your martial heart is not yet firm, not as strong as iron and stone, unshakeable. So, during this period of time, I will let you enter the Illusory Array to temper yourself, to hone your will." Fang Qizheng looked at Huang Yu.

  "Thank you, elder sister."

  ……

  ……

  In the practice room, Huang Yu sat cross-legged, holding that piece of yuan force bead.

  "Are you ready, master?" asked Rourou.

  "Hmm." Huang Yu nodded.

  This yuan force bead was originally supposed to be used only after reaching the Thunder Tribulation Realm, but Lulu had a way, of course, and it also consumed 1,500 pieces of her own spirit stone.

  One thousand five hundred spirit stones was not a small amount for Huang Yu, if it weren't for the fact that Hong Tian Chou had given him ten thousand, he wouldn't have been able to take them out now.

  Moreover, the method of absorbing the yuan force bead requires a strong will to endure, in other words, it is painful, extremely painful. Originally, the yuan force bead was used to purify one's cultivation and make the true yuan force more refined. It is precisely because of this that the true yuan force will be constantly tempered by the power released by the yuan force bead, so the requirements for the cultivator's meridians and dantian are also relatively high.

  The difference between the Yuan Shen Realm and the Lei Jue Realm is that the warriors in the Lei Jue Realm, due to the heavenly thunder tempering their bodies, have their dantian and meridians become incredibly wide and resilient.

  Hence, it can withstand the explosive energy of the Yuanli Pearl, but the Yuanshen Realm is not possible.

  Although Huang Yu had experienced the Heavenly Thunder Refining Body, it was not a true Tribulation after all. Although he had been tempered, most of his powers were absorbed away, allowing Huang Yu to gain some tempering. Therefore, there is still a significant gap between him and the true Thunder Tribulation Realm's Heavenly Thunder Refining Body.

  However, in order to enhance his own strength and ensure a smooth journey to the Great General's Mausoleum, Huang Yu had no choice but to endure this suffering and refine the Primordial Force Pearl.

  "Ready, go."

  Huang Yu nodded and closed his eyes.

  The true yuan force rotates, bringing out the energy on the surface of the yuan force bead, and slowly pouring it into the body along the arm.

  That violent force made Huang Yu feel that the meridians on his arm were exploding inch by inch. If it weren't for Lu Lu's protection and repair with that special spiritual liquid, he would have absolutely not been able to hold on. Moreover, even with that special repair spiritual liquid, Huang Yu still felt that intense pain, which was heart-wrenching and too painful to bear.

  Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

  It hurts too much.

  Insist, I want to insist, must insist on going down.

  To become the strongest at the peak, what can trivial pain stop me?

  Huang Yu's heart was filled with indignation.

  Persevere and don't give up.

  That violent energy, from the arm meridians, poured directly into the dantian.

  Rampaging through the body, constantly impacting the meridians inside the body.

  The spiritual liquid she had been taking earlier was under Rourou's control, constantly repairing Huang Yu's damaged meridians and body.

  Pain, and Huang Yu felt at this moment was intense suffering, unbearable.

  An hour passed, and the energy in the Yuanli Pearl seemed endless, still constantly pouring in.

  Huang Yu's mouth corners had already oozed out bloodstains.

  The teeth bit through the lips.

  The true yuan force is being continuously tempered and its purity is constantly increasing.

  It's done.

  Two successes.

  30%

  It has risen by nearly 30%, and is still going up.

  Pain, but still insist.

  I endure, I must endure.

  If you can't even bear this little bit of pain, what's the point of talking about anything else?

  Huang Yu constantly reminded himself in his heart: persevere, work hard, persevere, persevere, and persevere again.

  Don't give up, no matter how painful it is, you have to persist.

  In an instant, Huang Yu felt as if a century had passed.

  Fifty percent.

  Sixty percent.

  Seventy percent.

  The purity of the true yuan is becoming higher and more astonishing.

  The energy contained in a single mid-grade yuan bead is so astonishing, so terrifying.

  Tempering, continue tempering.

  While tempering his True Yuan Force, Huang Yu was also constantly tempering his physical body and his meridians.

  Compared with before, Huang Yu's meridians and physical body were now at least twice as strong.

  Willpower has also become more determined.

  Another hour has passed.

  The true yuan force has been tempered and is nearing its end, the energy in the yuan bead is finally about to be exhausted, slowly weakening.

  80%.

  Ninety percent.

  Perfect, refinement complete.

  "Cheers!"

  Huang Yu opened his eyes and let out a loud roar, punching out with one fist. The entire stone chamber collapsed with a deafening crash.

  The power of terror.

  Huang Yu was shocked in his heart.

  This training room is tailored for the cultivation of warriors in the Thunder Tribulation Realm. With a single punch, I can now demolish this stone chamber, which shows that my strength has been greatly enhanced. At this moment, I have absolutely reached a terrifying level in terms of power.

  The power surge was astonishing. At this time, Huang Yu's true yuan force circulated smoothly and unimpeded. The originally somewhat unconnected meridians and acupoints had also been thoroughly opened up.

  The energy of that yuan force bead is indeed astonishing.

  The suffering one endures is also worthwhile.

  At this time, the system's prompt sound also rang in his ears.

  "Ding, congratulations player, cultivation has been upgraded, reaching Yuan Shen Realm, 5th layer."

  Breakthrough! My cultivation has broken through once again.

  Yuanshen Boundary Five Layers.

  This saved quite a few spirit stones.

  Cultivation has also been thoroughly consolidated.

  He still had over 9,000 mid-grade spirit stones left. If he were to make another breakthrough in his cultivation, his strength would increase dramatically.

  However, Huang Yu couldn't bear to do so. If he knew that he had suddenly risen several levels at once, it would be hard to explain.

  ……

  ……

  Ten days later.

  Huang Yu and Fang Zhiqing arrived together at an entrance of the General's Tomb.

  At this time, the tomb of the great general is about to be opened, and countless powerful people have been waiting here.

  As soon as the tomb of the great general is opened, outstanding disciples from various sects will enter it.

  The tomb of the great general has restrictions and only allows those with a cultivation level of Lei Jie or below to enter. Those above Lei Jie who forcibly enter will have no way out but death.
