Chapter 621: Chapter 621

He originated from Tianyang, and later joined the Military Department. In the Chains Realm, he was quite renowned, a veteran powerhouse. He had been constantly striving to reach the Sixth Breakthrough but hadn’t yet mastered the Heart Image.

This time, he was invited back by the Tianyang Dojo to fight Ji Jingqiu.

In the eyes of the crowd, every one of his attack movements was clear and distinct, seemingly easy to dodge.

Yet under his onslaught, even Ji Jingqiu seemed like a light boat amidst raging waves, constantly at risk of capsizing.

"Bold and unconstrained, the Dao is simplicity itself; this person truly grasps the true essence taught by several in the Military Department, rightfully counted among the top martial artists there," commented someone with a sigh.

"Always defending and never attacking... this young man really is consistent," another person observed Ji Jingqiu and couldn’t help but criticize internally.

Among the spectating crowd, Ji Jingqiu still maintained his usual fighting style.

The first few dozen moves, all defense and no attack.

But in the last three moves, defeated his opponent.

The moment they saw around Ji Jingqiu, within tens of meters all enveloped by the tremendously heavy Fist Strength of Lei Yu, unavoidable, a surge of excitement ignited among the crowd.

Must he finally make a move now?

Yet in the next moment, Ji Jingqiu moved his feet, his form bending like a heavenly snake, snatching a sliver of hope from under Lei Yu’s Fist Strength!

"Heavenly Snake Struggle Sky Skill?" Lei Yu narrowed his eyes, his suspicion confirmed.

He laughed heartily: "Ji, then I won’t hold back!"

Subsequently, Lei Yu’s offensive surged like a tide, unceasing and overwhelming, imposing a great sense of pressure on Ji Jingqiu.

But Ji Jingqiu was not merely defending; indeed, as everyone speculated, he was simultaneously probing the true essence within his opponent’s divine skills and heritage.

After dozens of moves, Ji Jingqiu still hadn’t been forced to retaliate.

Lei Yu’s expression became grave; he had surmised the gap between them.

But truly... he didn’t want to admit it.

What on earth did this kid consume to grow up?

He clenched his five fingers together, stepped on the void, and bellowed: "I have one more punch, created by myself over these years. Ji, catch it well!"

His figure abruptly soared, bone-cracking sounds filled his body, and his aura grew wave upon wave. His right fist seemed to swell in size, filling the space between heaven and earth.

In the blink of an eye, he exhaled and threw a punch that seemed slow yet was as fast as lightning!

This punch made the discerning members of the crowd gasp and watch intently.

Along its trajectory, dark fissures spread, turning into faint trails of black Qi that rippled outward, annihilating everything along its path.

Though the fissures quickly healed and the black Qi dissipated momentarily, it nonetheless caused hearts to flutter and backs to chill.

An instinctual warning from deep within their genes indicated that any contact meant certain death!

"Stepping on the void, the void bears marks, Lei Yu, not yet in Heart Image, has reached this step!"

Someone from the crowd shook visibly.

Be it divine skills or secret techniques, any method capable of shattering and tearing apart space meant that one’s combat power had reached the level of Heart Image.

In this domain, the physical body could directly tear through space, enter the Spirit Ocean, and utilize the properties of the Spirit Ocean to achieve crossing through the void.

In martial arts, the gap in combat power becomes increasingly hard to overcome as one progresses.

Breaking through from Chains to Heart Image level, truly once an Arrogant Sun!

While the crowd was expressing their admiration,

A clear and sharp sound, like the roar of a dragon, of a sword being drawn resonated.

This sword seemed to encompass the surrounding heaven and earth.

The space in that moment froze as if it had completely stalled.

Ultimately stopping at Lei Yu’s brow.

Ji Jingqiu twisted his wrist, sheathed his sword, and sighed lightly: "Brother Lei, your punch was formidable and compelling, I indeed had no choice but to not hold back just now."

The onlookers fell silent, gazing at that calm and unperturbed figure, wordlessly.

Lei Yu’s punch had transcended the levels of Heart Image and Chains, but before Ji Jingqiu, it still appeared so futile.

"Why do I feel... that Ji Jingqiu is the veteran powerhouse of high renown, while Lei Yu is the young upstart oblivious to his own limits?"

"Excellent skill, excellent technique!"

Lei Yu sighed, dispelled the Protective Qi around him, and said resignedly,

"It seems I have lost!"

"If I’m not mistaken, Ji’s last slice seemed to also contain a bit of the true form of ’Tianhe Wave’ from Donglin Dojo."

Ji Jingqiu faintly nodded, not denying it.

His journey so far involved absorbing strengths from various families, fusing them into his sword techniques while trying to develop new styles.

Someone in the crowd sighed: "With this one, that makes nineteen families, doesn’t it? That already exceeds Ji Linyuan from back then."

"If the next one is still at the Chains level, I feel there’s no need to watch anymore. Master Zhou Yantong was indeed right; why continue fighting this? Just line up to concede, else Ji Jingqiu has to run around all over the place."

"Um...a seemingly ordinary Heart Image might not be a match for Jing Qiu, right?"

"This young man’s methods are outrageous, being called invincible in the Chains Realm is no exaggeration, no wonder he can gallop across the Nine States in the Divine Travel Realm and earn the reputation of Primordial First!"

"Um, don’t mention it, this young fellow really boosts the reputation of our Federation, the more I see him, the more pleasing he is; I always feel that he might someday become the successor of our Federation Martial Arts!"

Seeing Lei Yu concede, the person in charge of the Tianyang Dojo nearby sighed, which was expected.

Under the Heart Image, this young man is almost invincible.

Soon, the spirit of the Heart Image Warrior of the Tianyang Dojo was lifted.

Didn’t you hear what Jing Qiu just said? Lei Yu has pushed him to the point where he could not hold back!

He floated forward with a smile, "Ji, please stay for a few more days and let the Tianyang lineage extend the host’s courtesy."

Tianyang and Dragon Tiger held no past grievances!

Jing Qiu clasped his hands together, and did not refuse, "Then I will trouble the Uncle Master of the Tianyang lineage."

All was silent, and the moonlight was soft and gentle like water.

Jing Qiu sat cross-legged on the top floor of the hotel, his body’s skin emanated a vivid aura.

Various bizarre objects materialized around his body, floating and guarding him at the center.

This is a manifestation of the powerful Inner Heaven and Earth.

Behind him, a Dharma Body with a dignified treasure-like appearance was also sitting cross-legged.

Plain and simple, there was a tranquility and peace that transcended worldly disturbances, as if all trivialities were washed away, returning to the most primal state.

The strange scenes of Inner Heaven and Earth intertwined with the Dharma Body, evolving the birth, prosperity, decline, and decay of a world outside the body of the Dharma Body.

This completes the Inner Heaven and Earth, with flourishing times and also with decline.

And above this Inner Heaven and Earth, dozens of shining Morning Stars suddenly appeared, illuminating the mountains and rivers.

These are the "All Phenomena" he had observed in these days.

It includes not only the Hundred Veins that Jing Qiu had challenged so far but also encompasses the enlightening paths he experienced along the way, which he attempted to imprint.

At this moment, Jing Qiu was invoking the Fire House Buddha Hell Visualization Map, refining his physique with the water of the Bitter Sea.

This method severely consumed Divine Intent, even for him, requiring a few months between each session.

Amid the vast sound of seawater backflow, he was like a rock quietly enduring the baptism of the Bitter Sea Water.

He could feel that, under the refinement of the Bitter Sea, certain treasures within his body treasure were being unlocked.

Every inch of human flesh contains treasures, if fully unlocked, the potential is indescribable.

It could be called the Gate of Wondrous Secrets!

Jing Qiu quietly contemplated the sublimation and transformation of his physical body; under this refinement, he could feel even the chains of the Divine Embryo beginning to loosen.

Half a month ago, he broke through the third chain, and the life force strength of his physical body jumped to 15.96.

With the physique of Third Break, it matched the standard of the Five Breakthroughs.

Even without relying on Fetal Breathing or borrowing the Power of Heaven and Earth, in terms of pure physical prowess, he was at the same level as those of the Five Breakthroughs.

Of course, a Federation genius like Lei Yu would certainly not just stop at the standard once set by the Saint King lineage.

As the Divine Intent was exhausted, the invoked Bitter Sea Water gradually dissipated.

Jing Qiu also somewhat tiredly exhaled a long breath.

Feeling the vibrant life force contained within, he had a suspicion and prepared to do another life force test in a couple of days.

He felt that this time, his life force would definitely surpass 16.

The refinement of the Bitter Sea might be able to enhance his "base" life force.

Jing Qiu stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows at the top of the hotel, overlooking the distant sea view, slowly closed his eyes, unified his spirit, and traveled far away, browsing the heavenly sea.

Over these three months, he dared not slacken, constantly seizing every minute to cultivate.

The notification tone of the terminal sounded.

Jing Qiu’s Power of the Spirit emanated from his body and scanned the terminal, discovering a message from Sui Canghai, Master Sui.

After reading the message sent by Master Sui, Jing Qiu slightly narrowed his eyes.

[People from the Ke family and the Li Family have come and wish to meet you.]

Jing Qiu rubbed his brow, feeling somewhat headache-inducing.

About the feud between his grandfather and the Ke family, he had previously inquired indirectly out of curiosity from Ke Pingluan.

From the information learned from Ke Pingluan.

This seems to involve the love lines of that generation...
