Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 932 Different paths lead to the same destination

Four arms!

Four fists imbued with destructive power!
The attack speed is incredibly fast!
Faster than a phantom!

It was so fast that the Thousand Hall Master, who had just suffered a heavy blow and was bound, had no time to defend himself, let alone fight back!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang! ! !
The dense, bone-chilling thuds of punches landing were like heavy war drums, pounding wildly!

All the attacks, like precise battering rams, struck Qian Tangzhu's chest and vital heart!
Master Qian screamed in agony as he was beaten, gushing out a mixture of blood and visceral fragments! At the same time, as Fang Yu's fist landed as if welcoming him, he felt as if Fang Yu had left some kind of special mark on his body, as if a subtle connection had been formed between them.

His seemingly indestructible, dark, demonic outer skin finally groaned under such high-frequency and terrifying violent bombardment!

Click! Click, click, click!
Fine cracks began to spread like a spider web across the thickest part of his chest armor!
His demonic body, his once-proud defenses, are being brutally shattered!
“Stop! Stop it!!!”

Master Qian let out a terrified and desperate roar; he finally felt the chilling presence of death!
Fang Yu, who had completely fallen into a state of madness, had bloodshot eyes and was completely deaf to the wails of Master Qian!
He's still going strong!
He's still throwing punches like crazy!
Four iron fists turned into afterimages, causing Master Qian's ribs to collapse, his demonic blood to spurt out, and his aura to weaken at a visible speed!

"Who told you to meddle!"

Fang Yu seemed to have accumulated enough points and sensed the opportunity. Suddenly, he started with zero frames and unleashed a six-star combo!
*Poof!* Master Qian's pupils contracted as the invisible link with Fang Yu suddenly erupted.

The internal injury suddenly flared up, and he vomited blood violently.

"Who gave you permission to chase after me!"

Six more punches in a row, let's do it again!
Six stars aligned!
puff! !

Again?! The Thousand Hall Master, coughing up blood, couldn't believe it. This exaggerated impact could actually erupt a second time so quickly?!
"Who told you to try and kill me!"

"Who told you to discover my secret!"

"Who gave you the right to block my way!"

Six stars aligned!
Six stars aligned!

Six stars aligned!
Bang bang bang bang bang! !

Master Qian coughed up blood violently, his internal organs feeling as if they were being churned up!

"Why...why did you force me to take action?!"

With Fang Yu's final four angry roars, his four arms simultaneously charged to their maximum strength, like four giant hammers, carrying all his anger and power, and slammed into the chest of the dying hall master!

boom! ! ! ! ! !

A terrifying, deafening explosion!
The enormous black and red demonic flower that imprisoned Master Qian, along with the vines binding it, shattered and exploded completely under this attack!
The body of the Thousand Hall Master was as if it had been hit by a giant cannon, and the demonic carapace on his chest was completely shattered.

Like a kite with a broken string, he was sent flying backward, carrying with him the remaining black flames and blood mist, crashing heavily against the wall of the smoke cage once more before slowly sliding down.

When Fang Yu's figure appeared in front of him as if by teleportation, and one foot slammed down on his almost shattered chest with immense force, Master Qian was already on the verge of death.

Half of a mangled humanoid body was exposed from the shattered, dark, demonic armor, its flesh and blood mangled and its breath faint.

"How could this be... how could this happen?"

"You...you shouldn't be my opponent..."

"You are simply... no match for me!!!"

Extreme resentment and a sense of absurdity overwhelmed Master Qian.

He suddenly widened his remaining eyes, and the sharp tail that had been hanging behind him, also covered in tattered black armor, was like the last sting of a dying scorpion.

With all his remaining strength and resentment, he stabbed at Fang Yu's neck with incredible angle and speed!
Click!

The sharp tip of the tail pierced through Fang Yu's neck without any resistance!

For an ordinary person, this blow would be enough to kill them instantly.

But Fang Yu didn't even look down at the weapon piercing his neck.

At the wound site, the muscle tissue is visibly writhing and healing at an alarming rate!
The fresh blood was immediately blocked by the newly formed granulation tissue.

They fight with increasing ferocity!

The more severe the injury, the deeper the demonic transformation!
At this moment, Fang Yu was like an immortal war god who had emerged from blood and fire, and his body's self-healing ability had reached an unbelievable level!

This is far from his limit!
It's still a long way from the final state of everything being burned away on the night Tianyuan Town was destroyed!

"It seems... I am not without the ability to fight against Liu Po."

Fang Yu uttered cold words with absolute confidence.

He slowly raised his right foot, stained with the blood of his enemies and himself, and aimed it at the head of the Thousand Hall Master, whose head was exposed outside the broken armor and twisted with fear and despair.

The last glimmer of light in Master Qian's eyes was filled with absurdity and sorrow.

Clearly... clearly the hope of breaking through was right in front of us!

That kind of cultivation technique… that extraordinary technique that could allow him to take a crucial step on the path to the Six Souls… if I could obtain it…

"If I were to cultivate this skill..."

His remaining consciousness emitted a silent roar filled with endless regret and resentment.

boom!
Like an overripe watermelon being smashed by a heavy hammer.

The head of Master Qian exploded instantly beneath Fang Yu's feet!
Red, white, and shattered bone fragments... scattered everywhere!
The powerful demonic body suddenly stiffened, then completely lost all vitality and collapsed.

The dark, demonic tissue covering the body surface, like lifeless charcoal, quickly peeled off and turned to ashes.

[Qianjin Xun: 0/40000.]

[System notification: Congratulations to the player for defeating [Thousand Gold Seeker], gaining 40 experience points.]

[System notification: [Qian Jin Xun] has been detected as human; the [Azure Demon Bloodline] talent has been triggered.]

[System notification: Detected that [Qianjin Xun]'s cultivation level is higher than the player's. Acquire 50% of their maximum health.]

[System notification: Congratulations, player, your maximum health has increased by 20000 points.]

[System notification: Humanity's infighting has fueled resentment, turning into malevolent energy that now afflicts the body.]

The moment his health points surged by 20,000, Fang Yu finally breathed a deep sigh of relief, the scorching breath condensing into white mist in the air.

My tense nerves finally relaxed.

The hideous bone armor and mutated features covering his entire body receded rapidly like a tide, revealing his original form.

The primordial demonic state has been lifted.

He immediately looked inward at himself, his gaze sweeping over the demonization progress bar that symbolized the risk of alienation.

In that thrilling and terrifying battle just now.

In an attempt to gain a sliver of hope, he simultaneously employed the abilities of [Repetition], [Tree Opening], [Flowering], and [Four Arms], essentially playing all his trump cards.

Under the combined effects of multiple overloads, the demonization and erosion rates soared to over 30% simultaneously, like runaway horses!

As his demonic transformation intensifies, his body's self-healing efficiency also increases dramatically. Now that he's out of the fight, he's rapidly recovering and is ready to face any potential risks ahead.

As his own strength improved and his mental fortitude was tempered, the threshold at which he could simultaneously withstand these dangerous abilities did indeed increase.

This 30% increase in demonization and corruption is proof that back in Tianyuan Town, this value would probably have soared to over 90%.

Although the battle was a great victory, Fang Yu was also very clear in his mind.

If the battle drags on into a protracted war, it will become too entangled to end quickly.

The degree of demonization and corruption will continue to rise to a high level, and the consequences will be unimaginable. At that time, although the combat power will soar to a level that no one can imagine, it will also put oneself in a very dangerous situation.

Fang Yu still remembers that time he lost control and what he lost.

"Sister Jin..."

Fang Yu clenched his fist.

He will definitely save Sister Jin!

This artifact related to the soul might be able to work on Sister Jin; we'll have to wait for Ding Hui to analyze and study it before making any decisions.

In short, the longer the time drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for him.

The surge in combat power brought about by high levels of demonization and corruption also means an extremely high risk of losing control.

It can be said that this life-or-death battle with the Thousand Masters of the Thousand-Seeking Golden Hall has calmed Fang Yu down considerably.

He clearly recognized that there was a significant gap in raw strength between himself and top masters like Master Qian, who had truly immersed themselves in martial arts for many years.

If the opponent's ghostly speed hadn't far exceeded his normal reaction limits, he wouldn't have been forced to resort to a near-self-harming method.

Using oneself as bait, enduring damage, and restricting the opponent's space to create a fleeting opportunity for a counterattack is a choice made out of necessity.

If one's own basic strength is strong enough, one can keep up with or even suppress the opponent's speed.

This battle should have been much easier, and we wouldn't have needed to increase the demonization level so much or use so many trump cards and methods.

"Six Souls Realm..."

Fang Yu muttered to himself, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Even someone as powerful as Master Qian could not truly reach that legendary realm at his peak.

This made him deeply realize that his proud progress was still a long and arduous journey from becoming a true strongman.

The capital city is a place where hidden talents abound. While it may not be possible to say that combat power at the Six Souls level is everywhere, at least only those who reach that level truly have the right to stand firm in the center of this vortex and make their voices heard.

This bloody battle was both a crisis and a baptism, pulling him back from the clouds of illusion to the ground of reality.

Just as Fang Yu was deep in thought and his mind was in turmoil, an extremely mysterious and indescribable aura suddenly rose from the mangled body of the fallen Hall Master Qian!

This aura seemed to possess a spirit, following the subtle connection on a soul level that the two had briefly established through the tools, flowing towards him like a trickle, or like a flood bursting its banks!

"This is?!"

Fang Yu was shocked, and only then did he remember the matter of the tools.

The next instant, a profound aura, mixed with a vast and complex flow of information, forcefully poured into the depths of his mind!
【Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra】, 【Pure Blazing Sun Palm】, 【Pure Blazing Sun Fist】, 【Activating Tendons and Steaming Blood】, 【Black Erosion Fang】.

The names, core concepts, and even essential fragments of several techniques flashed and played out rapidly in his mind, like pre-recorded images.

The imagery of the "Pure and Blazing Sun Heart Sutra" is the clearest and most intense.

That is precisely the signature skill that Master Qian relies on to dominate the world!

Its core lies in cultivating the purest and most refined internal energy of the blazing sun, which contains terrifyingly high temperatures.

From the inside out, it burns gold and melts iron, its domineering power is unparalleled.

The subsequent [Pure Blazing Sun Palm] and [Pure Blazing Sun Fist] are clearly complementary combat techniques tailored to this core mental cultivation method.

Just as branches cling to the trunk, they can unleash the full power of the Pure Sun Heart Sutra.

When the true meaning of the [Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra] flowed through his heart, Fang Yu was suddenly shaken, and a strong sense of familiarity arose spontaneously!

The core principle of this technique is surprisingly similar to the Purple Qi Technique he had seen performed by several hall masters in Tianyuan Town, as well as the Qi Gathering Technique he is currently practicing!
More precisely, this [Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra], like the Purple Qi Gong, is very likely an advanced form that evolved, sublimated, and transformed from the most basic and fundamental [Qi Gathering Gong]!
For example, the basic [Gathering Qi] skill is "no attribute +10".

So, the [Purple Qi Gong] might be "no attribute +15 and additional special effects".

The [Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra] before us is "Non-attribute +20 and completely transformed into fire attribute, with the addition of extreme high temperature and burning effect".

This shared origin and shared characteristics imply immense allure and extremely low barriers to entry.

Once Fang Yu chooses to plunder this mental cultivation method, he can instantly achieve a qualitative leap in his Qi cultivation!

Most importantly, it is consistent with its existing Qi-gathering system.

The energy flow path is highly compatible, and there will be absolutely no conflict or painful process that requires self-destruction!

Many martial artists find themselves at a dead end in their internal energy cultivation techniques, or unable to make any further progress, because their energy points have become fixed and their pathways have already been established.

Those martial artists who want to change their cultivation methods must destroy their own foundation, but doing so will most likely cut off their path to advancement.

However, if you choose to go down a certain path to the end, you have to find a suitable cultivation method or develop your own.

However, on my side, the [Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra] and the Qi Gathering Technique follow the same path, requiring no extra steps. You can get started as soon as you get your hands on them and unleash 100% of their power directly.

This temptation is indeed immense.

However, Fang Yu suppressed the urge to make an immediate choice with strong willpower.

He forced himself to calm down and turned his attention to the other martial arts techniques that had been transmitted along with him.

He knew very well that with the status and position of Master Qian and the assistance of that strange artifact, the number of techniques he possessed could not possibly be limited to just a few.

There must be a reason why only these five gates have been transmitted so far.

Perhaps it was the selection rules of that strange tool, or perhaps it was because Master Qian was most proficient in and used these few techniques, or perhaps he only used these few types of techniques in the end.

The exact reason is hard to fathom; it will probably only be clear after obtaining that mysterious artifact and studying it carefully.

Before that, he must carefully evaluate each option.

Fang Yu glanced at the [Pure Blazing Sun Palm] and [Pure Blazing Sun Fist], and shook his head slightly.

These two combat techniques are indeed incredibly powerful, as can be seen from the overwhelming force of Master Qian's use, which was like burning mountains and boiling seas.

However, they exist entirely dependent on the Pure Sun Heart Sutra.

Without the support of the core Blazing Sun Technique, they are like water without a source or a tree without roots, their power reduced to less than one-tenth and their value greatly diminished.

This is similar to practicing only one branch of the Yuan Ti Gong system, such as the Yuan Ti Solidification Gong or the Yuan Ti White Shadow Leg, which is far less effective than practicing the entire system.

Finally, his gaze fell upon [Vibrating Tendons and Steaming Blood].

This technique aroused his great interest.

Furthermore, as its evolution shows, it is still driven by the unique high-temperature internal energy of the [Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra]!
By skillfully controlling the intense yang energy within the body, one can instantly heat, soften, and vaporize their muscles and blood, enabling them to undergo unimaginable free deformation.

Softening, hardening, expanding, and contracting combine to create the optimal muscle power structure, unlocking deeper levels of the body's potential.

"Interesting!" A glint flashed in Fang Yu's eyes.

The essence of this "Vibrating Tendons and Steaming Blood" technique is remarkably similar to his ability to deform his body, extend his attack range, or change his defensive form using bone armor!
However, his transformation is based on hard bone armor that grows outside his body.

Master Qian's [Vibrating Tendons and Steaming Blood] directly affects the body's flesh and blood.

Using internal strength as a guide, a more subtle and thorough internal muscle restructuring and power enhancement can be carried out.

It is another ultimate pursuit of control over the body.

Although their paths differ, they both point in the same direction: to form changes and power bursts that transcend the limits of the physical body. They can be said to arrive at the same destination through different means.
