The wind and clouds surged wildly, thunder ravaged uncontrolled!
Torrents of flame tornadoes and endless thunder filled the space in front of Luo Cheng, brilliantly ablaze, teeming with an aura of world-destroying might.
Suddenly, a flame tornado stormed towards Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng unsheathed his sword, a simple yet swift and fierce strike.
The Sword Qi and the flame tornado erupted simultaneously upon contact.
Within hundreds of meters, the space fluctuated turbulently, and Luo Cheng’s figure paused involuntarily.
Luo Cheng showed a look of amazement.
Now, he could casually slay a Ninth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm expert with one sword!
That is to say, the power of this flame tornado was equivalent to a Ninth Layer of Awakening Vein expert!
Especially its contained realm, the fusion of multiple natural forces, perfectly intertwined, hard to annihilate.
"The area formed by just a battle has such power! I can only imagine how earth-shattering the battle between Yun Mengli and Yuan Qingying was back then!"
Luo Cheng murmured to himself, thinking of Yun Mengli.
He asked Eldest Prince Jin Tiandu to inquire about Yun Mengli’s whereabouts.
Yet, to this day, there was still no news...
"Train first! If there’s really no news, once matters are settled, I’ll personally take a trip to Guyuan City."
Shaking his head, Luo Cheng cleared his mind of distractions, activated Mist Shadow Step, moving like a fleeting shadow, and instantly appeared on a fragmented island.
The originally coordinated azure flames and wind tornadoes erupted in chaos the moment Luo Cheng entered, unleashing a storm, bearing down on Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng’s eyes sparkled with sharp brilliance; sheathing his sword, he even retracted his Essence Energy, standing immovably like a mountain.
He wanted to feel the pure natural power with his physical strength, seeking an entry point to integrate the Fourth Form of the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique!
Moreover, from the unexpected encounter at the Seven-Colored Spring with Yin Li, Luo Cheng still had Yin Li’s origin power, Heavenly Cold Qi, remaining in his body!
He intended to leverage the strong natural forces here, the thunderstorms, to stimulate his potential and completely refine the Heavenly Cold Qi within!
If all goes well, his physique would undoubtedly reach a new height!
A lightning bolt illuminated the world, like a heavenly punishment blade, slashing down fiercely at Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng felt the explosive force contained in the lightning, not daring to be careless, his body vibrating, pushing his blood and Qi to the extreme, a faint golden-lighted fist directly smashed into the lightning.
A loud bang, powerful shockwaves rippled out, splitting the ground into several pitch-black cracks, winding like snakes.
Luo Cheng’s upright body was forced back more than ten steps, each step resonating with a thud, his hair stood on end!
Luo Cheng clenched his slightly numb and burning fist, showing no fear; instead, he was invigorated and willingly charged into the storm’s center.
Immediately, the whole world boiled over.
Endless flame tornadoes, violent thunder, rolled turbulently, unwavering in might, instantly engulfing Luo Cheng!
The explosion sounds were endless. As time passed, Luo Cheng’s clothes shattered into dust, blood began to ooze from his mouth and nose, even the faint golden glow in his pores dimmed, as if it could be extinguished at any moment!
The natural forces here were boundless; each one could obliterate a Late Stage Awakening Vein expert. To resist with mere physical strength was an unimaginable challenge!
Even an ordinary Ninth Layer of Awakening Vein expert couldn’t withstand it and would be obliterated!
Luo Cheng also felt his whole body grow numb, the fiery pain as if he were undergoing endless tempering!
Yet, the battle intent in his eyes grew more intense!
Within his lightning-charred, stalwart frame, Essence Qi surged, growing stronger with each clash!
Like a coarse iron being smelted and forged millions of times, gradually showing its edge, having signs of breaking the cocoon into a butterfly!
In the end, there wasn’t a single intact spot on Luo Cheng’s body, his skin was charred black, bleeding from his seven orifices, seemingly on the verge of collapse!
Luo Cheng’s body shuddered, as if something shattered within him.
The residual Heavenly Cold Qi inside him transformed into a cool stream, circulating all over!
Yin Li, as a top Heavenly-level Great Power, possessed immensely potent origin energy!
Immediately, Luo Cheng’s previously exhausted flesh and blood devoured the Heavenly Cold Qi frantically, like a parched land rejoicing upon rain!
His blood roared like a mighty river, his bones cracked loudly as if being reforged, even his organs quivered, playing a harmonious melody, emitting strange sounds!
The Heavenly Cold Qi circulated throughout his body, cleansing Luo Cheng’s blood shell, purifying his physique, allowing a transformative metamorphosis.
In an instant, or perhaps an eternity passed.
A barely audible sound emanated from Luo Cheng’s body.
His charred skin crumbled like stone peeling off, light blossomed, revealing newborn skin akin to that of an infant!
The surface of the new skin exuded a chilling white light, lustrous and bright, much harder than before, with a touch of steel and jade!
A thick whirlwind, entwined with thunder, raged towards him.
Luo Cheng’s eyes opened, his pupils brilliant like stars, and he punched forward.
Thunder disappeared, the violent wind ceased, everything vanished like smoke.
Luo Cheng remained unmoved like a mountain, his glowing fist only bore an insignificant white mark, vanishing in an instant!
"Goodness! So strong!"
Luo Cheng felt the strength of his physique, overjoyed.
The power of this whirlwind reached the level of a Ninth Layer Awakening Vein expert!
That is to say, henceforth, even without using Essence Energy, purely relying on his body, ordinary Ninth Layer Awakening Vein experts can’t harm him a bit!
Such a physique could be compared to a top Awakening Vein Body Refining expert!
"Yin Li, I owe you thanks!"
Luo Cheng’s mind flashed with the serene and ethereal image of Yin Li.
In such a short time, his physique had progressed so much!
Achieving the Golden Body Realm was partly due to his inherent potential.
The thunderstorm of Wind Rock Island and the Heavenly Cold Qi tempered him inside and out was another!
This was what allowed Luo Cheng’s physique to undergo such a transformative metamorphosis!
All these factors were indispensable!
"It’s a pity the Heavenly Cold Qi is fully refined..."
Having tasted its benefits, he longed to absorb more Heavenly Cold Qi, letting his body continue to be refined and take another leap in strength, reaching unimaginable levels!
Luo Cheng estimated that at that level, he could suppress Yu Lanxin with just his physical body!
Shattering another bolt of descending lightning with a punch, Luo Cheng dismissed his random thoughts, murmuring:
"Now I can devote myself to merging the Fourth Form of the Divine Wind Killing Technique! If successful, in the entire Inner Sect of the Three Great Sects, probably only Fierce Cloud Sect’s chief disciple Yun Tianyan would qualify to rival me!!"
