From being plagued by all kinds of diseases to becoming a high-level martial arts demon god!

Chapter 145 Peak of Level Six
[Supernatural Abilities: ...Miasma Cloud - Fog Realm (Proficiency 0.1%); Miasma Cloud - Gu King Body (Proficiency 0.1%)]
Jiang Heng stood up from the table, and with a thought, he immediately activated the divine power pattern in his mind that resembled a Gu worm.

A surge of energy arose, and wisps of blood mist emerged from the skin's surface, transforming into blood-red Dao patterns as they combined with the energy.

As his body's vital energy and blood continued to deplete, a network of blood-red meridians covered Jiang Heng's skin.

It's like an external neural transmission pathway and a path for the flow of Qi.

It gradually enhanced his nerve reaction speed, physical strength, and the efficiency of his Qi circulation.

And the skin of the body, covered by these blood-red veins, became increasingly tough.

"It feels... good!"

Jiang Heng nodded slightly, although he did not have a natal Gu as an aid like the warriors of Zhangyundong.

However, the effect of the supernatural power it produced was not bad, after all, the proficiency of this third-level supernatural power was only 0.1%.

The only problem is that activating this supernatural power requires a large amount of vital energy, so it cannot be used as a regular supernatural power...

Jiang Heng raised his gaze and looked at the remaining two Divine Path Seeds in the alloy sealed box.

He reached out again, picked up a divine power seed on his left that was quite similar in shape and aura to the "Gu King's Body" Dao Seed, and swallowed it.

The Dao Seed instantly turned into smoke and merged into the body, then gathered in the mind, but no new divine Dao pattern appeared.

Instead, it was integrated into the original divine power pattern of [Miasma Clouds - Gu King's Body].

This caused the patterns in his mind to grow stronger and stronger!

In Jiang Heng's mind, his various experiences and memories about this divine ability were also rapidly improving and becoming more and more proficient.

Meanwhile, on the panel, the proficiency of the third-level divine ability [Miasma Cloud - Gu King Body] is also rapidly increasing.

It rose from an initial 0.1% to 35% before gradually stopping.

[Supernatural Ability: ...Miasma Cloud - Gu King's Body (Proficiency 35%)]
Jiang Heng looked at the data on the panel and nodded thoughtfully.

This is because the divine seed that was just taken is also [Miasma Cloud Gu King Body].

The superposition of this supernatural ability with the divine runes already in his mind led to a significant increase in his proficiency with it...

With a thought, Jiang Heng once again activated the divine power rune in his mind.

The internal organs' furnace began to operate again, the Qi surged, and the body grew taller inch by inch. Under immense pressure, the Qi and blood within the body seeped to the surface of the skin, and the surging Qi combined to condense into streaks of blood-red Dao patterns.

These hundreds of Dao patterns covered the surface of the body, transforming into strands of blood-red meridians.

Compared to before his proficiency improved, the blood-red Dao patterns he displayed when using [Miasma Cloud - Gu King's Body] this time were two to three times larger.

The dense, blood-red veins resembled a large net, enveloping Jiang Heng's body.

And in the short span of a breath, his size had already increased to more than two and a half meters, reaching a terrifying height of nearly three meters!
At this moment, the Gu King Body that Jiang Heng is displaying is no less powerful than the one that Meng Zha displayed before!
If Jiang Heng were to encounter Meng Zha again, even if he no longer needed to rely on the red mist environment,
With just this Gu King body, plus the body-refining divine power he had previously cultivated, he could easily kill Meng Zha!

"call……"

Jiang Heng exhaled slightly, dispelling the supernatural power, and the blood-red meridians covering his body gradually faded away.

His towering figure, which almost reached the ceiling, gradually returned to its original size.

Jiang Heng ignored the clothes that had been torn into strips and continued to pick up the last divine power seed from the sealed alloy box and put it into his mouth.

Compared to the previous few divine power seeds, which were evil and cold,
The aura emanating from this divine seed was even more obscure.

It was as if streaks of light flashed across the surface of this soybean-sized seed.

The moment it entered my mouth, it vanished into thin air, quickly condensing into a brand new divine power pattern in my mind.

The entire piece is blue and simple, as if it were drawn with just a few strokes of a brush, resembling a bolt of lightning.

Related information also entered Jiang Heng's mind.

Miasma and Shadows!

Jiang Heng's eyes lit up slightly, and he was overjoyed.

It is also a second-level divine ability, but the key difference is that this divine ability is a movement technique!
Jiang Heng's close-quarters combat skills are now very strong; both his offensive and defensive capabilities far surpass those of other martial artists at the same level.
The only problem is that his speed and body size did not match the corresponding height.

This led him to avoid direct confrontation with enemies in the future, instead fleeing at top speed.

So, apart from gathering the flames of the attack into a long spear and throwing it, he had no other way to deal with the situation and was unable to catch up with his opponent.

Now, as long as he improves his proficiency in this supernatural ability, his speed will no longer be inferior to other martial artists of the same level!
Jiang Heng immediately activated the divine power rune in his mind.

A surge of energy coursed through his body, transforming into several cyan Dao patterns on his legs, propelling him forward.

Jiang Heng immediately felt his body become lighter, but because his proficiency was too low, it was not obvious.

He dispersed his aura and looked at the second alloy sealed box containing the black stone, then opened it.

Inside was a fist-sized black round stone, which, on the surface, seemed no different from any other ordinary stone.

However, after leaving the red mist environment, this thing gradually emitted a visibly foul odor.

Simply getting close to someone can create an extremely uncomfortable feeling, as if one's vitality is being eroded.

"An aggregate of corrupted energy..."

Jiang Heng murmured to himself, a hint of anticipation appearing in his eyes.

"I wonder how effective this thing will be if I eat it..."

He picked up the black round stone, weighed it in his hand, and hesitated for a moment about how to eat it.

Jiang Heng thought for a moment, then simply opened his mouth, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, and suddenly bit down on the black round stone.

With his current bite force, he can chew not only stones, but even high-strength special alloys as easily as tofu.

The black pebble was also under his teeth, and he immediately bit off a piece.

Then, Jiang Heng chewed the fist-sized black round stone into crumbs in just a few bites and swallowed it all.

A violent and destructive filth-filled energy, far surpassing the effects of poison, spread through his body like a flood bursting its banks.

"Uh!"

Even though Jiang Heng was prepared, he still groaned from the impact.

The skin surface instantly turned an abnormal dark purple, and the blood vessels and meridians seemed to be about to burst and be corroded by this turbid energy!

The excruciating pain penetrated to the very bone!

The text on the panel refreshed rapidly.

High concentrations of energy pollution are eroding my body...
[Large-scale erosion and necrosis of body tissues are occurring... vitality is rapidly being lost...]
"I go……"

Jiang Heng's face was slightly pale; the effect of this black round stone seemed to have exceeded his expectations.

If this continues, I'm afraid that in just a few breaths, this terrifying energy pollution will completely corrode all the tissues in his body.

Transform him into a rotting corpse!

Jiang Heng immediately chanted silently, "Disease erosion, transformation!"

The power of the disease surged forth instantly and merged into his body.

It operates at an unprecedented intensity, like a greedy black hole.

It frantically devours, decomposes, and purifies this foul energy, transforming it into pure nutrients to nourish the body.

Jiang Heng gritted his teeth, feeling the destruction and regeneration within his body. Cells were dying, only to be reorganized and transformed under the nourishment of even more powerful energy!
The previously stalled development of acupoints has begun to accelerate again under Jiang Heng's deliberate manipulation of the feedback power.

One by one, the acupoints began to loosen and break open, transforming into vortexes of qi that connected with the outside world and linked with the true essence of the raging fire in the furnace of the internal organs.

On the panel, the physical body level, which had been stuck at 6.60, also started to fluctuate...

I do not know how long it has been.

When the last trace of impure energy from the black stone in the abdomen was squeezed out and turned into ashes and dissipated.

Jiang Heng slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

With a thought, he opened the panel and looked at the data in the "Physical Body Level" row.

[Physical Level: 6.99]
After consuming the black round stone, he actually leveled up from level 6.60 to level 6.99 in one go!
We're just one step away from breaking through to level 7.0!
"Peak of Level Six..."

Jiang Heng slowly clenched his fist, feeling the surging, almost overflowing power within his body.

The bones cracked with a crisp sound, and the air around them seemed to distort slightly from the mere act of clenching a fist.

He could clearly feel that at this moment, whether it was his physical strength, defense, or the use of qi,
They are all much stronger than when they first came out of the Rift Valley.

"Now, if I were to face that peak level six martial artist from Zhangyun Cave again, I'm afraid I could kill him completely in just a few breaths..."

Jiang Heng silently assessed the situation in his mind.

"It's a pity that I'm still a little short of breaking through to the seventh level of physical body."

"If I could obtain a few more of these black round stones, I might have a chance to break through to level seven..."

His mind raced, and his gaze turned south toward the area shrouded in red mist.

"Moreover, cultivating these supernatural abilities of the Miasma Cave also requires the power of the red mist..."

Apart from body-refining supernatural abilities, there is no method for "reverse training" of other supernatural abilities; one can only rely on pure, extensive practice to increase cultivation experience.

Jiang Heng naturally didn't have that much time to cultivate the supernatural powers of Zhangyun Cave.

Moreover, the cultivation methods for these kinds of supernatural powers are mostly related to Gu worms. Where would he find Gu worms and cultivation methods to assist his cultivation?

Therefore, it is natural to rely on the feedback power transformed from the red mist deep in the rift valley to improve the proficiency of these supernatural abilities.

"And the energy liquid beneath that layer of black rock at the bottom of the rift... if I could get my hands on it, it might even help me break through to level seven..."

The resources available to Tianfu have been fully utilized, and there is no point in lingering any longer.

Jiang Heng pondered silently, then took off his clothes, which had been torn into strips, and went into the bathroom to wash off the remaining bloodstains.

After changing his clothes and tidying up briefly, he pushed open the door and went out.

After leaving Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, we headed to the southern border of Sichuan once again.

……

One day later.

The crimson mist came into view again, and Jiang Heng had already arrived at the Crimson Mist Rift.

At this moment, warriors from Tianfu and the Thirteen Caves of Southern Xinjiang have gathered outside the Red Mist Rift.

The two sides converged on opposite sides of the Red Mist Rift Valley, which is hundreds of kilometers apart.

At this time, as time goes by, the red mist surrounding the Red Mist Rift Valley is gradually dissipating.

Once the energy dissipates to a certain extent, it will be time for both sides to conduct in-depth exploration.

As for the martial artists of level seven or above on both sides, they have probably already ventured deep into the rift valley to investigate.

Jiang Heng's arrival did not alert Du Liyan and the others in Baisha Camp.

Otherwise, given the current state of the Crimson Mist Rift, they probably wouldn't have allowed themselves to enter it.

After all, if one were to encounter a level seven enemy warrior in the Crimson Mist Rift, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, Jiang Heng didn't care too much about it.

Even a level seven martial artist would likely find it difficult to withstand the extremely high concentration of red mist at the bottom of the Red Mist Rift.

With his current strength, he would still be able to put up a fight against a level seven martial artist at the bottom of the rift valley.

As long as you are careful before entering the rift valley, there shouldn't be any major problems.

I thought so in my heart.

Jiang Heng's figure soared into the air, flying high into the sky, with wisps of white mist surging around him as he unleashed the supernatural power [Miasma Clouds·Mist Realm].

Its form blended into the clouds above, and then it quietly slipped into the Red Mist Rift.

A short while later, they arrived above the Red Mist Rift Valley, emerging from the clouds and entering the bottom of the rift to cultivate.

Suddenly.

Several miles away, a figure dressed in a black robe flew slowly along the edge of the rift valley.

Jiang Heng's gaze sharpened, and he immediately held his breath and focused his mind, completely concealing his figure in the red mist.

He recognized the man; he was the same level-seven martial artist from the Thousand Gu Alliance who had fought a great battle with Du Liyan in Eagle Beak Valley!
That is, the protector of Chayapon of the Vinda family!
Judging from his appearance, it seems he is still searching for traces of Jayapon in this rift valley...

I am currently outside the rift valley and am certainly no match for a level seven martial artist. I must not let him discover me.

A dozen or so breaths later, the black-robed protector slowly walked away from the edge of the rift valley and completely disappeared into the distant red mist.

Jiang Heng remained hidden in the clouds until a few more moments passed.

Only after confirming that the person had really gone far away did they breathe a sigh of relief.

If one wants to fight a level 7 early stage martial artist head-on without relying on the red mist.

He would need to cultivate at least a few of the miasma cave's supernatural powers, especially the third-level [Miasma·Gu King Body], to perfection before he would have a chance.

Jiang Heng quickly burrowed into the rift valley.

We arrived at the depths of the rift valley, atop a smooth, translucent black rock.

Jiang Heng reached out and touched the translucent black rock on the ground. Looking at the energy liquid surging like magma below, a sense of longing arose in his heart.

Soon. He doesn't need to break through to the seventh level of physical body; he just needs to raise the third level [Miasma Cloud - Gu King Body] to perfection.

He could then unleash the power of a level seven physical body, shatter the black rock, and obtain the energy liquid below...

Jiang Heng sat back down in the small cave he had dug earlier.

Given the concentration of the red mist at the bottom of the valley, it's unlikely to help Jiang Heng break through to the seventh level of physical body cultivation in a short time.

However, improving his several miasma-related magical abilities was still not a problem.

Jiang Heng sat cross-legged in the cave, circulating his breathing techniques to absorb the thick red mist at the bottom of the rift valley.

He inhaled wisps of red mist into his lungs as if swallowing a whale, which then infected his organs and tissues.

Then the power of disease circulates within the body, transforming the lesions into feedback power, which is then channeled into several supernatural abilities.

On the panel, the proficiency of several supernatural abilities is gradually increasing...
