Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 350 Suffering and Calamity All Endure

The ripples covering the surface of the flying hammer now wriggled like living things, and dark golden true energy condensed at the hammerhead into a ferocious phantom of a giant whale, its mouth wide open as if to devour everything in its path.

With each inch the hammer advances, the surrounding true energy undergoes a further transformation.

At first it was like boiling flames, then like condensing frost, and finally it turned into a spiral of airflow.

The low whistling sound initially resembled rolling thunder, but by the time the flying hammer had traveled halfway, it had transformed into a deafening roar, causing even the spirit-suppressing jade pillars surrounding the martial arts arena to tremble.

This hammer blow was no longer the work of human beings; it was as if a meteor from outer space was carrying ten completely different forces of heaven and earth, determined to blast the enemy in front of it and the entire space into dust!
"boom!"

Ci'e's Dragon-Suppressing Seal was accurately hit by the flying hammer.

This precious treasure, bestowed upon her by the Empress, instantly shattered into countless jade fragments, the backlash causing Ci'e to spit blood from all seven orifices.

Even more terrifying, the flying hammer, still carrying considerable force, smashed the stands thirty feet away into pieces!
"Devil!"

Ci Ku struggled and swung his sword, the blade igniting with ghostly green flames that seemed to be a sacrifice of his life essence.

This strike transcended the realm of martial arts. Before the blade even arrived, the shadow beneath Xu Yunfan's feet twisted on its own, as if it were about to be torn apart by the intent of the blade.

A cold glint flashed in Xu Yunfan's eyes, and the muscles in his right arm suddenly tensed. The Zhenyue Hanhai Hammer hummed and trembled in his hand, and the power of the earth veins burst forth in layers, turning into dark light that vibrated on the surface of the heavy hammer.

Facing Ci Ku's Xuan Yin Soul-Slaying Blade, he did not dodge. Instead, he lowered his waist and mounted his horse, and the Ten Extreme True Qi surged out of his body like a raging tide, pouring into the hammer!
"The majestic mountains and vast seas meet at the horizon!"

Under the impact of the violent true energy, the twelve cloud patterns on the hammerhead were as if they were forcibly pried apart by an invisible giant hand, emitting a piercing metallic twisting sound.

The cloud patterns were torn apart, but under Xu Yunfan's brute force that could shatter mountains and split peaks, they were transformed into extreme sharpness!

This strike was devoid of any fancy techniques; it was purely a violent alteration of the structure of the Zhenyue Hanhai Hammer through sheer force.

The hammer was no longer a hammer; under Xu Yunfan's terrifying power, it transformed into a deadly weapon capable of crushing everything!

The moment the blade wheel collided with the demonic blade, Ci Ku was shocked to realize that he had struck what seemed to be an abyss.

The Nine Netherworld Flames clinging to the blade were melted away like remnants of snow by the impact of the heavy hammer's power to shake mountains and suppress seas. The terrifying power that erupted was vibrating at a horrifying frequency, and each collision cracked the old monk's tiger's mouth by three-tenths.

"Crack!"

The sickening cracking sound echoed throughout the venue.

The Xuan Yin Soul-Slaying Blade was broken into three pieces, and Ci Ku's right arm, along with half of his shoulder, turned into a bloody mist under the shredding force of the blade.

As the old monk staggered backward, he saw Xu Yunfan raising the Zhenyue Hanhai Hammer, which he had retrieved, high above his head. The qi condensed on the hammerhead had materialized into a phantom of a mountain.

The first hammer!
The hammer fell like a meteorite crashing to the ground.

The Vajra Mudra that Ciku hastily erected shattered like paper, and the muffled sound of his chest collapsing made the spectators in the front row turn pale.

The second hammer!
The spinning left hammer struck Ci Nantian's skull.

The monk, who practiced the Vajra Indestructible technique, didn't even let out a scream before his head exploded like a watermelon, and his headless body remained kneeling in a mudra position.

The moment Ci'e turned to flee, Xu Yunfan had already taken off the Sky-Piercing Bow slung across his shoulder.

He didn't even take the arrow; he simply drew back the bow to a full moon shape, and with the frenzied influx of his Ten Extremes True Qi, a three-edged, armor-piercing arrow condensed at his fingertips.

This scene truly made the hearts of everyone in the audience tremble.

"Condensing Qi and transforming it into form!?"

The Taoist priest in the green robe from the Xuanzhen Sect trembled slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He stared intently at the true energy flowing around Xu Yunfan. It was no longer the invisible qi driven by ordinary ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators, but a nearly tangible existence. Having reached the Qi Condensation and Transformation stage, true energy could now form its own martial form. Sometimes it surged like raging flames, sometimes it condensed like frost, and it could even transform into the shape of a dragon or a sword shadow in an instant, solidified and unyielding, as if it were alive!

This is the "Condensing Qi and Transforming into Form" realm that only a Grandmaster of the Ninth Realm of Qi Refining can reach!
Ordinary martial artists, even after reaching the ninth realm and transforming their internal energy into true strength, can only make their true energy more profound and powerful. However, Xu Yunfan has already transcended this realm.

His Ten Extremes True Qi seemed to possess a spirit, evolving into various forms on its own without deliberate control.

Every wisp of true energy is as responsive as an arm, capable of being both strong and gentle. When strong, it is comparable to a divine weapon; when gentle, it is like flowing water, penetrating every crevice.

What's even more frightening is that these transformed true energies are not merely superficial.

The green-robed Taoist was shocked. The experts from the five major sects around him, with their extraordinary vision, could also see this and their expressions were slightly shocked.

They exchanged a glance, both feeling heavy-hearted.

Throughout history, those who have achieved the "condensation of qi into form" have all been exceptionally talented individuals.

This state signifies that a martial artist's control over true qi has reached a state of perfection, and every move they make possesses immense power.

For an ordinary ninth-realm expert to face such an existence is like a child wielding a wooden sword against a seasoned veteran—they are simply not on the same level!
What chilled him even more was that within Xu Yunfan's transformed true energy, there were ten completely different martial arts flowing, and he could even see the shadow of the Xuanzhen Sect's Dragon Tiger Pill Qi.

This is clearly the extraordinary phenomenon of "all laws returning to their source" that can only be manifested after the Ten Extremes Martial Arts have been pushed to their limit!
"Dugu Jiu..."

The Taoist priest in the green robe from the Xuanzhen Sect looked extremely grim.

Ambassador Gao from Penglai Pavilion couldn't help but shrink further into his cloak.

"Boom!"

The vibrating bowstring caused all fragile objects within a hundred feet to shatter simultaneously.

The moment the true energy arrow left the bowstring, a visible vacuum channel was plowed out of the air.

Ci'e's figure, which had just leaped into the air, suddenly froze. A transparent hole the size of a bowl appeared in his chest, and the aftershock of the arrow's energy even knocked down half of the corner tower of the imperial city three hundred paces away!

The spectator stands were deathly silent, like a graveyard.

The Xuanhuang chains that had bound Xu Yunfan suddenly became illusory, and he absorbed them back into his body to replenish the Ten Extremes True Qi that he had just lost, while also increasing the total amount of Ten Extremes True Qi once again.

The Nine Nether Cold Iron Chain in the hands of the Penglai Pavilion envoy had broken into several pieces at some point, and the well-informed envoy was now chattering.

That wasn't archery at all; it was the ultimate violence of true qi condensed to its limit!

As the smoke and dust cleared, Xu Yunfan stood with one foot on the fragment of the Dragon-Suppressing Seal, his double hammers dripping blood as he held them upside down.

He glanced at the silent crowd and suddenly chuckled: "Who else wants to discuss the 'Trinity'?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it made the bronze bell next to it ring incessantly.

At this point, Xu Yunfan glanced at the several information notifications that appeared on his screen.

'You have successfully killed the Three Monks of Suffering and Calamity, your Ten Extremes Martial Arts have become even more profound...'

Xu Yunfan felt somewhat helpless. Although the Ten Extremes Martial Arts followed the path of all laws returning to their source, there was still no good way to regulate Qi after the ninth realm.

He simply used his true energy to cleanse his body repeatedly, allowing his body to grow to its maximum potential, and then used his physical body to nourish his spiritual growth in the most primal way.

While martial arts have methods for cultivating the spirit, they cannot strengthen the soul or enhance mental intelligence. This alone demonstrates the immense value of the "Lin" technique.
