Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 387 Consuming the Mystic Crystal
Wherever the palm strike passed, the air exploded under the strain, and the earth's energy within a radius of ten feet was forcibly drawn away, turning into a visible torrent of turbid yellow water that swirled around the edge of the palm.

"This is the true way of martial arts!"

His voice boomed like thunder, each word causing the surrounding sand and gravel to tremble. "Every move draws upon the mighty power of heaven and earth, transforming boundless killing intent into the very essence of fists and palms. Compared to those unorthodox methods of hand seals and incantations..."

The palm strike suddenly tore apart three ancient trees that could be embraced by two people in front of him, "Go a thousand times faster!"

The spiritual energy of the entire secret realm suddenly surged. A phantom ten feet tall appeared behind the old man; upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an enlarged version of the Divine Martial Immortal.

The phantom moved in sync with the main body, striking out with its palm. Even before the palm wind arrived, the pressure caused Xu Yunfan's bones to crack.

"Fa Xiang?"

Xu Yunfan raised an eyebrow. He had also studied the Dharma Image Dao in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, so he could naturally unleash the Six-Armed Vajra.

But facing this Divine Martial Immortal, Xu Yunfan did not retreat but advanced, his whole body radiating golden light to an almost blinding degree.

The Ten Extremes True Qi surged within his body like the Yangtze River, eventually pouring entirely into the Shaking Mountain and Suppressing Sea Hammer.

The hammer of this seventh-tier divine weapon could not withstand such immense force, and its surface began to crack, but this also caused it to shine with an even more dazzling light.

"Eight Desolate Dragons Fall, Nine Extremes Return to One!"

Nine crimson gold dragon patterns detached from the hammer body and merged in the air into a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon.

The dragon's roar resounded through the heavens, crashing headlong into the sky-covering palm print with unstoppable momentum.

"boom!!!"

The aftershocks of the collision directly shattered the foundation of the secret realm.

The sky shattered like a mirror, and the earth cracked open into bottomless ravines.

Amidst this apocalyptic scene, the two figures clashed and fought at an even faster pace.

The Divine Martial Immortal pointed his fingers like swords, and each sword aura caused thunder to shatter.

Xu Yunfan's hammer strikes were like a dragon, each swing causing the void to tremble.

After five hundred moves, the secret realm was on the verge of collapse.

After eight hundred moves, spatial rifts began to appear at the point where the two clashed.

When the 1200th move was reached, the entire secret realm finally couldn't withstand it and exploded into countless points of light with a "bang".

In the blinding white light, two figures pierced through the barrier between worlds and reappeared beneath the sky of the Divine Martial Realm.

Xu Yunfan stood on the void and discovered that below him was the familiar Qingwei Mountain Range.

Meanwhile, the remnant soul of the Divine Martial Immortal was now solidified like a real person, surrounded by three hundred and sixty vortexes of spiritual energy, each connected to the laws of heaven and earth, constantly pouring into Chen Jiuchuan's body.

"To have cultivated to such a level in the Dharma-ending Age."

The old man finally abandoned his disdain and said solemnly yet greedily, "Young man, your body is indeed qualified to inherit my lineage."

The wind howled and the sea of ​​clouds churned.

Xu Yunfan said calmly, "It seems the Master has taken notice of me."

He lowered his eyes, knowing that if this dragged on for too long, he would be the one to suffer once the Yuanshi Sect disciples caught wind of it.

With a thought in mind, Xu Yunfan flipped his palm, his true energy surged, and the martial arts crystal suddenly floated into the air.

Its entire body is like congealed red blood jade, with dark gold patterns coiling and intertwining within its crystal walls, resembling an ancient dragon that has been imprisoned and is slowly awakening.

What's even more astonishing is the immense vitality it contains.

With each pulsation of the crystal core, vegetation within a radius of ten feet grew wildly. Withered branches sprouted new buds, old vines burst into bloom, and even the moss in the crevices of the rocks instantly spread into a green carpet.

The air was filled with a refreshing, rain-like scent. The mere dissipation of energy caused the dragon scales on Xu Yunfan's arm, which had been chipped by the impact, to begin healing visibly.

The moment the Mystic Crystal appeared, an invisible aura rippled outwards, causing the surrounding air to suddenly freeze and even the howling wind to pause.

hum!
A visible wave erupted from the mystic crystal, instantly sweeping across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

The remaining disciples of the Primordial Sect in the Divine Martial Realm were all shaken. Whether it was the scarred man hiding deep in the earth veins or the others who were fleeing in a sorry state, they all suddenly looked up at this moment, their eyes flashing with a terrifying light.

"Martial Arts Crystal?! It really is here!"

The tall, thin disciple choked out a hoarse, wild joy, “The news is true! A supreme treasure that can forge the foundation of divine martial arts!”

Three hundred miles away, the scarred man crushed the communication talisman in his hand, his face contorted with rage: "This beast dares to do this! This is my opportunity!"

He ripped open the talisman robe that concealed his aura, and a surge of bloodthirsty energy erupted from his body. "Fellow disciples! If we don't fight now, when will we?!"

At almost the same moment, all the Yuanshi Sect disciples scattered in various places suddenly rose up.

Some unleashed their most treasured escape talismans, burning their life essence; others crushed their life-saving pills, bleeding from all seven orifices but gaining incredible speed; still others grinned and pushed their companions into traps, all to get ahead of the pack.

The Martial Arts Mystic Crystal represents an opportunity to defy fate. Once one achieves Foundation Establishment, one is freed from the constant threat of death and gains the true qualification to seek immortality and enlightenment!
-
"This martial arts crystal should be an item used by a True Person to establish their foundation."

Xu Yunfan lightly touched the Xuanjing with his fingertip, and the dark gold patterns flickered. "Shouldn't this also be something you used to defy fate?"

The Divine Martial Immortal's pupils constricted sharply, then he burst into a mocking laugh: "When I refined this item, I exhausted three spiritual veins and slaughtered all nine great families just to gather enough resources. And you, an ant from the Divine Martial Realm..."

His words abruptly stopped as he stared at everything with bloodshot eyes. Once the Martial Dao Crystal entered his stomach, Xu Yunfan would have no chance of obtaining it unless he died!
Xu Yunfan actually threw the Xuanjing into his mouth!
What would happen if I swallowed it?

His Adam's apple bobbed, and the moment the Xuanjing entered his abdomen, the Ten Extreme True Qi within his body melted away like snow being poured on boiling oil.

The mystic crystal transformed into a greedy black hole, not only frantically devouring true energy but also beginning to suck away the life force of flesh and blood.

Xu Yunfan's right arm was visibly shriveled, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on his skin.

He felt a slight jolt in his heart. Had he been too reckless?

But he quickly calmed down, and it seemed... he could still handle it?

"You're courting death!" Shenwu Zhenren's hair and beard stood on end. "The spiritual energy in this world is scarce. If the Xuanjing (mystic crystal) isn't replenished, it will drain the host dry!"

He laughed in fury, "I want to see you turn into withered bones with my own eyes!"

Xu Yunfan suddenly looked enlightened: "I see."

He suddenly reached down and pressed his hand against the steel mechanism at his waist. "Thank you for the reminder, Master."

"squeak!!"

The moment the receiver popped open, a piercing scream tore through the sky.

A jade ginseng doll, no bigger than a palm, was pulled out by its top leaf, its pink hands and feet flailing frantically, and red ginseng seeds falling from its head.

"What?! This, how is this possible?!"

Shenwu Zhenren's pupils contracted sharply, and his facial muscles twitched uncontrollably. "How could a mere Realm of Boundary Heaven give birth to such a divine creature that defies the creation of heaven and earth?!"

His voice was trembling.

Even in the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, this ten-thousand-year-old ginseng king, which has already taken human form, is enough to cause a bloodbath.

Its ginseng rootlets can regenerate severed limbs, and its ginseng essence can extend life by three hundred years. Not to mention the red jade ginseng seed condensed in the top of the ginseng baby, which is a treasure that can help a Golden Core True Monarch break through the bottleneck!
