If his original meridians were likened to a small stream, now that stream had swelled into a small river, but how could a mere small river contain the flow of a surging great river?
Facing this energy of ultimate purity, Ye Jingyu’s Dantian spun frantically. But no matter how he circulated it, how could the reservoir of a small river possibly hold the deluge of a great river?
Had Ye Jingyu only cultivated the Jing Lei Dao Jue (Startling Thunder Saber Art), he would certainly have been shattered by the violent influx of energy. Yet, he had cultivated the even more tyrannical Ba Yuan Jue (Overlord Origin Art).
This was a core cultivation method of extreme dominance, and simultaneously, a methodology of the highest sophistication…
Just as his meridians were about to buckle under the pressure of the raging energy, the Ba Yuan power within his body surged from every point and flooded into the meridians, directly pressing down and stabilizing that furious energy...
It was as if countless small tributaries had been carved out around the small river, allowing the surging energy to rapidly pour into every cell of his body...
Continuously improving his physique, continuously repairing his bodily functions. That immense power was mercilessly devoured by the Ba Yuan power, strengthening the Ba Yuan power within him...
And this energy was so pure, identical to the energy transformed by the ring resting over Ye Jingyu’s heart. It required no further transformation by the ring; it flowed directly into the vicinity of his navel—the energy field of the Central Po (Soul).
One could see the once empty Central Po rapidly coalescing, and a faint glow ignited at the location of the Central Po...
The true qi within Ye Jingyu increased at the speed of a rocket. In mere moments, it surpassed its limit. Post-Heaven True Qi directly transformed into Pre-Heaven True Qi, instantly filling his Dantian and meridians...
If his meridians had been sufficiently tough, if his meridians had been sufficiently wide, he might have been able to convert it into True Essence in one leap, becoming a Grandmaster in a single stroke...
After all, that represented the cultivation of a full thousand years (For the full novel text, visit .1.(1..Literature.Net) ...
Even so, the concentration of his Pre-Heaven True Qi was more than ten times that of other Pre-Heaven Martial Masters, which was largely related to the toughness of his physique...
For his meridians were a part of his physical body, and their tolerance was absolutely more than ten times that of other Pre-Heaven Martial Masters...
His physical strength increased at the rate of a speeding automobile, reaching the absolute peak of a Fourth Level Warrior in just an instant. Nurtured by that pure energy, he directly broke through to the Fifth Level. This meant that purely in terms of physical strength, he had reached one hundred thousand jin (pounds)...
This surpassed even that of the Chi Yi Xiu...
Of course, exactly how far his physical durability had reached remained unknown...
His soul power increased at a walking pace. Nevertheless, his Central Po was successfully refined. Seven rays of light flared across his body, marking the seven energy centers of the Seven Pos. One could see straight lines connecting these seven energy fields. If his body were transparent, viewed from the side, it would resemble the Big Dipper in the night sky...
Streams of warm energy continuously sprayed out from these seven energy fields, refining his physique...
Although he had not successfully ascended to the Spirit Manifestation realm, his soul power had increased severalfold. Especially after refining the Central Po, he could clearly feel the changes occurring within his soul...
If his previous six Po fields were like six masters, before this refinement, they could only fight independently. But after the Central Po was refined, these six Po fields, including the Central Po itself, could now unite perfectly, increasing their combined strength by no less than six or seven times?
Once he could synchronize the soul power of all seven Po fields, the growth in soul power would be exponential...
If Ye Jingyu’s soul power could previously unleash a few Kuang Ba Zhan Wen (Tyrannical Battle Patterns), now he could effortlessly execute dozens...
Moreover, many other soul arts that were previously unusable could now be employed easily...
In terms of soul power alone, had his strength not increased by more than double?
As for the Ba Yuan power within Ye Jingyu, it grew at the speed of a snail...
Never mind that the Yuan Pearl contained the accumulated energy of an ordinary martial artist spanning twelve hundred years. The true qi utilized only a cycle of sixty years (one Jiazi) to propel him directly to the peak of the Pre-Heaven Martial Master realm...
And it took two full cycles (Jiazi) to deplete the Central Po—a process that also consumed two cycles. The remaining fifteen cycles, equivalent to nine hundred years of cultivation, were entirely devoured by the Ba Yuan power...
Yet, even so, this energy, which was immense for an ordinary martial artist, amounted to only a slightly larger measure of Ba Yuan power after conversion. It was like pouring a single cup of water into a nearly dry pond...
This demonstrated just how profound the strength of the Ba Yuan power was...
Because of this, the bursting death that the purple-haired girl had envisioned did not occur. She watched as streaks of light continuously flashed across Ye Jingyu’s body, his complexion shifting rapidly from red to pale, then back again. His expression vacillated between agony and satisfaction...
His body would inflate as if about to explode, only to immediately shrink back down, as if the raging energy had suddenly been absorbed by something unseen...
In a short while, his body returned to normal, his complexion rosy, his breathing even—not showing the slightest sign of a man near death...
"This... how is this possible? He... he actually absorbed the entire energy of the Yuan Pearl?" Staring at Ye Jingyu, who was completely unharmed, the girl’s face showed sheer astonishment...
"Hmph, Sister, if you didn't want to part with it, why use such a shoddy excuse? Bursting apart? I see he’s perfectly fine..." A cold snort echoed from within the curved saber...
"I... I..." Hearing the little girl’s words, the girl was so incensed she almost choked. While she was somewhat reluctant, she hadn't sunk so low as to lie to a child... "I will give him my Yuan Pearl immediately too..." In a
