Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 349 Condensing Qi and Transforming into Form
"Trinity? What a grandiose claim!"

In an instant, Xu Yunfan felt the space around him suddenly freeze, as if an invisible giant hand was squeezing in from all directions, and the air was twisted into visible ripples.

However, he remained calm and did not even frown.

Nine Xuanhuang chains, formed from the Great Zhou Dragon Vein, burst forth from the ground, like angry dragons coiling around his body. But as soon as they touched his skin, they melted away like snow meeting the scorching sun. As the Ten Extreme True Qi circulated, it devoured all the essence of these earth veins, turning them into nourishment for itself!
At the same time, Ci Nan's Thousand Machine Poison Mist enveloped Xu Yunfan like a bone-deep infection. The poison, which would cause ordinary martial artists to collapse upon contact, seemed utterly laughable in front of Xu Yunfan.

Instead of avoiding it, he took a deep breath, and the poisonous mist was drawn into his lungs like a whale sucking water. After circulating in his body for a week, it was actually refined by the Ten Extreme True Qi and turned into a wisp of turbid air that was slowly exhaled from his nose.

"Is that all you have?"

Xu Yunfan's lips curled up slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

The poisonous fog not only failed to harm him in the slightest, but was instead refined by his true energy, transforming into a wisp of pure energy that nourished him!

Xu Yunfan's laughter shook the banners around the arena, causing them to flutter loudly.

Such a scene even caused the three monks, suffering from hardship, to pause in their movements almost imperceptibly.

Xu Yunfan thrust the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace into the bluestone ground with his backhand, and pressed his palms against his waist, unleashing two streaks of dark light like dragons emerging from the sea.

It was the pair of Zhenyue Hanhai Hammers obtained from the bottom of the Sword Burial Abyss.

The moment the hammerhead appeared, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and faint sounds of ocean waves and earth tremors could be heard seeping from the patterns on the hammerhead.

"This hammer?!"

The Nine Luminaries Sect elder watching the battle suddenly crushed the armrest of his chair. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze gleaming.

He hadn't thought much of it before, but now, seeing the pair of heavy hammers gleaming with a dark light, he naturally recalled it.

This hammer was the divine weapon carried by the previous sect leader of the Nine Luminaries Sect, and it was taken away by the Dao Sect as a trophy of war.

These two massive, dark hammers were forged entirely from Xuanming Cold Iron, their surfaces covered with natural patterns resembling waves, gleaming with a dark blue light in the morning glow.

Legend has it that this hammer weighs 360 jin (approximately 180 kg) and when swung, it carries the force of collapsing mountains, making it truly extraordinary. Even among seventh-tier divine weapons, it is among the top. If properly nurtured, it may break through its material properties, contain divine spirit, and become an eighth-tier divine weapon.

The next instant, Xu Yunfan had just raised his double hammers.

Ciku's Xuan Yin Soul-Slaying Blade had already cleaved three inches from his face.

The blood-red longsword, inherited from the previous dynasty, now emitted an eerie purple light, distorting even the light wherever its blade passed.

"Well done!"

Xu Yunfan raised his right hammer from bottom to top, and the wave pattern on the hammer surface suddenly shone like deep-sea fluorescence.

The Zhenyue Hanhai Hammer's corresponding hammering technique, in its starting stance, creates visible ripples of air. The moment the hammer and blade collide, the floor tiles of the entire Xuanwu Martial Arts Platform simultaneously shatter.

The spectators saw a blinding aurora burst forth where the crimson blade light and the dark blue hammer shadow intertwined, and those in the five sects whose cultivation was insufficient immediately bled from their eyes.

"puff!"

Ci Ku's emaciated body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, and the Xuan Yin Soul-Slaying Blade bent into a breathtaking arc under the hammer blows.

The old monk smashed the basalt stone carving on the edge of the arena, and fragments of his robe mixed with pieces of his internal organs splattered onto the faces of the Imperial Observatory officials.

Only then did the abbot of Amitabha Temple realize that the opponent's hammer blow contained seven layers of superimposed shock force. His "indestructible body," which he had cultivated for sixty years, was as thin as a cicada's wing in the face of such brute force.

Ci'e's face twitched. He had clearly seen Xu Yunfan absorb the chains formed from Xuanhuang Qi into his body like a whale swallowing its prey, and took the opportunity to slam the Zhenlong Seal into the ground again.

Seeing this, Ci Nan couldn't help but exclaim urgently, "You're still giving him supplements?!"

"What can be done? With chains around his body, his movements will freeze for a moment! This boy is a great demon!" Ci'e responded in a deep voice, not daring to hesitate for a moment, and exerted all his strength to unleash his Vajra True Qi.

The Nine Palaces Earth Vein Array, which the Ministry of Works had laid overnight, was activated, and nine chains formed from Xuanhuang Qi broke through the ground once again.

Xu Yunfan suddenly felt as if his feet were sinking into mud, and the circulation speed of the Ten Extreme True Qi in his body dropped by 30%.

The chains were much more solid than before, which did indeed affect his movements.

Ci Nan dared not be negligent. The true energy in his sleeve surged forth, bursting into a sky full of green mist. Using the true energy as a guide, it seemed to draw out a cloud of mist, but it was more solid and agile than the mist he had casually scattered before.

"Thousand Machine Disperse!"

This strange object, obtained by the Great Zhou Imperial Court from the southern border by Gu poison, is specifically designed to erode true qi. It once caused even a supreme grandmaster of the ninth realm of Qi cultivation to perish on the spot.

The poisonous mist made a hissing sound as it touched Xu Yunfan's dragon scale armor, and the protective aura on the armor's surface dimmed at a visible speed.

The official from the Ministry of Works of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who was watching the battle from the high platform, had just smirked when two golden lights suddenly appeared in the poisonous fog.

That was the faint golden luster emanating from Xu Yunfan's pupils!
"Mere unorthodox methods..."

He crossed his two hammers in front of his chest, frantically pouring his Ten Extremes True Qi into them. The Vast Ocean Hammer emitted a buzzing sound like a giant sea beast, and there was also an intertwined vibration like an earth dragon turning over.

"Suppressing the Vast Ocean, Devouring the World!"

The two hammers collided with a deafening roar, and the ripples on their surfaces transformed into the phantom image of a giant whale shaking a mountain.

The terrifying sound waves spread out in a fan shape, forcibly dispersing and reorganizing the Thousand Machine Poison Mist, which then surged back towards the three monks.

Ci Nan's right hand, which was hastily forming a hand seal, was instantly covered with bluish-purple poisonous spots, and the blood vessels under the withered skin bulged like earthworms.

"impossible!"

The Taoist priest in the green robe from the Xuanzhen Sect cried out in alarm.

He saw it clearly: Xu Yunfan's move just now didn't use any true energy at all; it was purely a hammer technique that drew upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth to form the eye of a hurricane.

This state of returning to simplicity and authenticity has touched the threshold of "skill approaching the Tao"!

Indeed, with his superior strategic vision and current strength, he can cultivate any martial art extremely quickly. Whether it is the Mountain-Shaking and Sea-Suppressing Hammer or the Sky-Splitting and Cloud-Piercing Arrow Technique, Xu Yunfan has cultivated to the perfect state in just half a month by relying on his attribute panel.

A high-level practitioner can easily understand a low-level martial art, let alone someone like Xu Yunfan who has an attribute panel.

At this moment, Ci'e seized the opportunity to activate the Dragon-Suppressing Seal to its fullest extent.

Nine dark yellow chains coiled around Xu Yunfan's limbs like giant pythons, their luster dazzlingly bright.

Suddenly, the audience noticed that the clouds above the martial arts arena were being pulled into a vortex shape by an invisible force.

It was an unusual phenomenon—the earth's spiritual energy being forcibly extracted!

Xu Yunfan let out a muffled groan, his muscles bulged, and crimson energy seeped from the gaps in his dragon scale armor.

Xu Yunfan's left arm muscles suddenly tensed, and the Zhenyue Hanhai Hammer hummed and trembled in his palm, as if a deep-sea beast that had been imprisoned was eager to break free of its restraints.

With a flick of his wrist, the hammer flew out of his hand. In an instant, the Ten Extremes True Qi surged out from his skin like a raging torrent, transforming into a layer of dark golden aura that enveloped the flying hammer.

The hammer's shadow ripped through the air, tearing a murky white wave of air in its wake, like a giant ship splitting open a raging sea. The airflow on both sides twisted violently, emitting a piercing shriek.
