Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 386 What is Martial Arts?

With every gesture, the opponent unleashed the power of the universe, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to converge like rivers flowing into the sea, transforming into a raging torrent of attack.

The gale condenses into a blade, the earth's veins form a prison, and even the clouds in the sky are twisted into a sharp edge that tears through the sky. This kind of killing move, which uses the power of heaven and earth as a blade, is no longer within the scope of human martial arts!

Xu Yunfan's eyes burned with fighting spirit. Instead of retreating, he took a step forward.

A martial artist should be brave and diligent, especially at this time. If he has any intention to retreat, he will be completely at a disadvantage.

As the two hammers clashed, the Shaking Mountain and Suppressing Sea Hammer suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light, and the Ten Extreme True Qi wrapped around the hammer condensed into nine crimson-gold dragon patterns, with scales and claws outstretched, lifelike.

As he spun around and swung his hammer, the nine dragon patterns simultaneously emitted a deafening roar, the sound waves like thunder, distorting the surrounding air.

Wherever the hammer passed, a murky white wave of air was torn open in the sky, like the heavens tearing open silk, and a visible shockwave swept out in a fan shape.

Eight Desolate Dragons Fall - Heaven Collapses!
The two hammers struck horizontally in mid-air; even before the hammers arrived, the immense pressure had already cracked the ground inch by inch.

Nine crimson-gold dragon patterns flew out from the hammer, transforming into a devastating torrent. Wherever it passed, clouds collapsed and mist dissipated, and even light was briefly swallowed up, as if this strike would truly overturn the heavens!

Eight Desolate Dragons Fall - Heaven Collapses!
The moment the hammer and the palm print collided, a crack spanning thousands of feet was torn open in the sky above the secret realm.

The pure force of the collision generated a ring-shaped shockwave that leveled the mountains within a ten-mile radius.

Xu Yunfan's feet sank deep into the ground up to his knees, but then he saw the dragon pattern on the hammer suddenly come to life and move, forcefully crushing the palm print containing the power of heaven and earth into pieces!
"What a magnificent transformation of the mountain spirit into a body!"

The Divine Martial Immortal's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "You actually managed to break my spiritual seal with brute force! With this one strike, you can be considered the number one person below the Foundation Establishment stage!"

He was both surprised and shocked: "I never thought you could walk the path of all laws returning to the same source and all scriptures returning to one."

Before he finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and tapped the air with his five fingers as if playing a zither.

With each finger strike, a bolt of purple lightning struck down, instantly forming a thunderous array that covered the sky.

These lightning bolts were no ordinary lightning; each one carried a strange "Taoist charm," leaving scorch marks in the void that lingered for a long time after striking.

"Although I have fallen to the Foundation Establishment realm, I was once a Foundation Establishment True Person. Some of my methods are beyond the reach of those of you below the Foundation Establishment realm."

The Divine Martial Immortal said calmly, "If you open your mind and body and accept my soul into your body, and if I attain the Golden Core True Lord in the future, I can separate your consciousness and guide you onto the path of immortality, instead of being trapped in the martial arts. What do you say?"

"If I kill you, I will be the number one on the path of martial arts."

Xu Yunfan let out a long roar, his body spinning rapidly like a top.

The Shaking Mountain and Sea-Suppressing Hammer danced into a golden halo, showcasing the exquisite skill of its hammer technique to its fullest extent.

The earth's veins trembled with dark light, making the two heavy hammers weigh a ton. However, in his hands, the two hammers were as light as a feather, and each swing accurately deflected a bolt of purple lightning.

The deflected lightning struck the distant mountain, instantly vaporizing the entire peak into crimson lava.

Upon seeing this, the Divine Martial Immortal gave a light snort and immediately went to meet him.

The Shaking Mountain and Suppressing Sea Hammer unleashed a golden storm. Xu Yunfan's arms were bulging with muscles, and the hammer's momentum was like an angry dragon overturning a river. Each strike caused the earth's veins to rumble.

The Divine Martial Immortal's sleeves billowed, and purple lightning at his fingertips solidified into nine ferocious thunder dragons that swooped down.

Xu Yunfan crossed his two hammers, the hammers precisely severing the seven-inch mark of the Thunder Dragon. Before the burst of lightning could dissipate, he had already spun around and closed in, delivering a "Thousand Mountains Collapse" strike straight at the face of the Divine Martial Immortal!
With a light tap of his toes, Shenwu Zhenren retreated three zhang like a phantom, and the spot where he had stood suddenly collapsed into a pit a hundred zhang deep.

He made a hand seal, and the sky suddenly cracked open, a meteorite engulfed in flames crashing down. However, it was drawn back by Xu Yunfan's hammer strike, and the dark light from the earth's veins transformed into chains that shredded the meteorite into a rain of fire. The two figures clashed amidst the fire rain, and the aftershocks of the hammer shadows colliding with the lightning tore the clouds within a ten-mile radius into shreds.

Three hundred moves vanished in the blink of an eye.

In the clash of hammers and thunder, mountains and rivers are transformed.

The earth's veins were plowed with scorched black ravines by lightning, and the hammer wind split the sea of ​​clouds in two. Xu Yunfan's hammer technique became more and more frenzied with each battle, and the Ten Extreme True Qi surged through his meridians like lava. The Divine Martial True Man's thunder technique gradually became sinister, and dark evil energy appeared hidden in the purple lightning.

After another three hundred moves, the outcome remained undecided.

Xu Yunfan's hammer strike suddenly changed; nine crimson-gold dragon patterns detached from the hammer and transformed into chains that wrapped around Shenwu Zhenren's feet.

The Divine Martial Immortal sneered, and a bronze mirror flew out from his sleeve, its light freezing the dragon-patterned chains inch by inch...

Xu Yunfan had seen this ancient bronze mirror before; it was a magical artifact held by Chen Jiuchuan. It looked ordinary, but in the hands of the Divine Martial Immortal, it had the power to turn the rotten into the miraculous.

Three hundred moves vanished in the blink of an eye.

The more Shenwu Zhenren fought, the more alarmed he became.

This junior is clearly only at the terrestrial immortal realm, yet the true energy within his body is as deep and unfathomable as a vast ocean.

What's even more terrifying is the characteristic of the Ten Extremes Martial Arts: with each breath, a massive amount of spiritual energy is forcibly plundered and transformed into new true energy through the pores of the body to replenish what is consumed.

This recovery speed is even three points faster than when he draws upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

"Old man, is this your martial arts?"

Xu Yunfan shook his arms, and the Shaking Mountain and Sea-Suppressing Hammer crashed down with the force of a mountain collapse. The oncoming thunder dragon shattered inch by inch under the hammer's edge, and the exploding purple lightning remnants spread through the void like a spider web.

Using the force of the recoil, he was thrown back a hundred feet into the air, his dragon scales flapping and humming in the aftershocks of the thunderstorm.

Shenwu Zhenren's eyes were cold and fixed. The thunder dragon that had just struck, powerful enough to flatten mountains, had not disturbed Xu Yunfan's breathing in the slightest.

Xu Yunfan's hammer, still bearing the faint crimson-gold dragon pattern, emitted a low hum. He stared at the figure that appeared and disappeared deep within the lightning, his Ten Extreme True Qi surging like a river through his meridians.

This strike used all his strength, but the opponent was able to control such pure lightning energy, with every move drawing divine thunder.
In other words, it was Xu Yunfan who came. If it were any other expert at the Land Immortal level, a few bolts of lightning would either kill or cripple them.

Xu Yunfan was somewhat curious: "Although terrestrial immortals can draw upon the power of heaven and earth, it only accelerates the recovery of true qi, and martial arts techniques slightly draw upon the power of heaven and earth for compression. Your ability to manipulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with every move... that's not martial arts, is it?"

"Frog at the bottom of the well!"

Although Shenwu Zhenren had a slight smile on his lips, a layer of frost had formed in his eyes.

Only now did he realize that his rash appearance was a fatal misjudgment; Xu Yunfan's strength far exceeded his expectations!
Is the Earth Immortal Realm so powerful, and does it possess such a vast amount of true energy?
Shenwu Zhenren couldn't help but mutter to himself.

If it were Chen Jiuchuan himself, with his body tempered by countless trials and tribulations, plus his true essence cultivated over many years, he probably wouldn't even last three breaths against this person...

In the blink of an eye, the Divine Martial Immortal's moves suddenly changed.

He pushed out with both palms, the movement seemingly slow as pushing a mountain, but in reality faster than lightning.
