Chapter 174: Spiritual Essence, Blade Suppresses Dual Kings (9k) (Part 1)





What is known as Spiritual Essence is the "Heaven and Earth Essence." A Warrior incorporates and integrates this Heaven and Earth Essence into his own martial path, marking a transformation in his martial journey and a further leap on the non-human path. After breaking through the True Seed Realm,, his,,,, the physical body can already achieved its potential. only by planting the Spiritual Essence within himself. Higher-grade power bodies can nurture the Spiritual Essence to nour and's law Principles, nurturing the LawPrinciples within his body to advance further. Mid and Lower Grade power bodies will begin to touch the path of Law from this step, absorbing it into the body.

In the Federation, the more substantial the martial foundation built in the True Seed Realm, the more Spiritual Essence one can accommodate.

From this step onward, the martial path begins to diverge. Warriors can forge their own path based on their needs, not necessarily following the predecessors' direction.

A Warrior with greenish skin, a member of the Wood Spirit Clan, spoke gravely: "The Cangqing Temple is fraught with peril. Once ensnared, even if we have life-saving wood tokens, we might not be able to use them in time."

He seized the opportunity, raising his blade to strike again, the long blade carrying the essence of Mountain Splitting and Sea Overturning. Even if the formidable figure before him was the Radiant Sun, he would cleave it down! Yue Wukong's aura condensed, feeling as if JiJingqiu’s figure was towering like a-mountain, seemingly becoming the sovereign of the surrounding World, pressing the surrounding air currents to tremble.

"Huh? Someone has already entered the Temple," someone suddenly said, pointing towards the temple, unsure, "I just saw a black-clad figure walk into the temple."

PeiJing’s expression was calm, but his gaze concealed a brewing intent for a decisive strike, not retreating or avoiding, he faced it head-on. "Overestimating yourself!" A low voice sounded from the forest.

However, after this battle, in future conflicts with these civilizations, someone would likely introduce his identity!

JiJingqiu’s heart seemed to have an epiphany, grasping the Bosa Demiplane, a unique field domain instantly suppressed the Black Sun domain.

"No time, if you want a fair fight, wait for the next time."

Recalling their first encounter, he could still exchange a few blows with JiJingqiu, showing a deep bond with the WoodSpirit clan, his voice was solemn, "The young man is who, managing to fight YueWukong to this extent, and even subduing YueWukong subtly!"

The long blade remained sheathed, cradled in its scabbard, held in one hand, it casually sliced through the vast Luminous Fist Intent, striking the shoulder of Wanshan as if it were light as a feather.

This step has many breakthrough directions.

"These scums have the audacity to counterattack!"

This was the most thorough reaping,,, with no consideration for recycling.

The long blade sliced down, breaking through the Black Sun Seal, JiJingqiu’s aura surged again, like adding oil to fire, momentarily suppressing the formidable YueWukong.

Harvesting an entire Bosa Demiplane, such a move was far beyond the Federation’s capability.

True Seed Realm allows the cultivation of Eye Techniques... Rare, to the point of being some races' innate talent in certain civilizations.

Wanshan’s expression was cold, his step unimpeded, standing with an aura of confidence and self-assurance, unafraid by any storm.

JiJingqiu swung the long blade in a wide arc, shaking off the bloodstained edge, turning his head to look into the distance, coldly saying:

A dragon's roar and tiger's roar, as if echoing from ancient times, filled with boundless dignity, he was shaken as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, blood trickling from the corner of his eye and below his nose.

At the critical moment, he roars, breaking free from the blade's suppression, stepping back, his entire body's bones crackling, seemingly unable to bear the burden in that moment! The situation abruptly turns, everyone's gaze fixed on the young man who suddenly intruded the battlefield.

A thread of life! A meandering blade light, intertwining with pure and flawless keen aura, like rolling thunder, leaving only a thread of life for the enemy to seek!

AW faces turned to the sudden intruder.

The Warrior of the Wood spirit clan was surprised, "Brother Mu, face!" YueWukong's frown deepened, looking at Wanshan, who was now in pieces, said gravely, "Friend, isn’t this too much of a face!"

Careful! There's a trap!" And the spiritual essence he could see were merely four to five inches, barely mid-grade.

So, Warriors of the Federation, after reaching the Divine Journey Realm, mostly choose to wander theUniverse, seeking suitable spiritual essence, spending years, even a decade, until their own spiritual essence overflows.

"Hehe, do you think this is an arena? They were originally set to clear the Divine Temple ruins, naturally, must take the lead right away."

"Hehe, Brother Yue, need help?"

The black-haired figure stood tall, his aura nearly burning with a determination, the characteristic of the Black sun body, enhancing his combat power nearly twofold. YueWukong smiled cruelly, sweeping through the four directions, not comparable to the earlier Wanshan, his expression was grim.

Facing the majestic and cruel strike, Ji jingqiu's mind was steadfast, raising the blade to strike down.

Ji jingqiu suddenly realized, originally just wanting to see the Cangqing Temple, an unexpected discovery had been made. If those Divine Sojourners could come, "not picky eater," they could complete the transformation of the Divine Journey, completing the shackles.

A faint blade resonance pierced every particle, originating from the depths of the stratosphere, like rolling thunder, using only a thread of life for the Enemy to seek!

In the realm of his spiritual power, a chilling gaze from a pair of tiger-like eyes and a pair of blood-red dragon eyes opened in the darkness, as if disturbed from slumber.

...

Among the young representatives of various civilizations, there were those who had encountered the Apex Archduke, but not many. If the Federation had several such individuals, they would be formidable opponents in battle.

A century ago, the one who dominated the world eventually reached the True Seed Realm, just a step away from the Apex Crowned King level!

On the massive stone gate, intricate totems were carved, and one of the doors was ajar, revealing a gap large enough for a giant over ten meters tall to enter.

"You really are... stacked with buffs," Ji Jingqiu said with a smirk, his eyes filled with solemnity.

Duan Xuanji secretly admired.

"That man over there, Wan Shan, is quite troublesome. According to the elves, he's from the Four Divine Temples and is a candidate for the Four Divine Fury. He's not far from the Apex Archduke level," Duan Xuanji said in a low voice.

His gaze swept across, and hundreds of spiritual essences of varying lengths were flowing between heaven and earth. The essence of spiritual power is the sublimation of heaven and earth's laws, possessing a hint of divine rhythm, hidden and born from the myriad beings of heaven and earth. It is considered by martial artists as the great medicine of heaven and earth.

The others nodded. The surrounding martial artists who had been hunting them were getting closer, and they didn't have much time left.

He abandoned the idea of competing with Ji Jingqiu and took advantage of the moment when Xi Di trapped Ji Jingqiu's heart demon surge to strike a punch directly at his chest, a look of regret in his eyes.

Boom! A figure rushed through the air, radiating scorching hot energy like a pitch-black sun.

Boom! He struck out, his body spanning a hundred meters, and with a double-fisted attack, the vast fist intent seemed to surge like an overwhelming ocean.

The enormous will from earlier, what was it? After plucking the Flower of Life, the dead zone beneath his feet completely dissipated, leaving only a lifeless, black wasteland. Every inch of it exuded deathly silence and desolation.

Even if martial artists from Xi Yan and Phoenixfall Kingdom were here, they would prioritize killing this person!

Ji Jingqiu carefully comprehended the current effect of his Bodhimanda Insight. This eye technique was not yet complete, only in its initial stages.

Wan Shan's face paled, and he quickly retreated.

How could he block this?!

The divine script imprinted on his body seemed to come alive, flashing and jumping as if it might break free at any moment, unleashing a mysterious power that made one's heart palpitate.

Boom!

"Black Sun Tribe's Yue Wukong!" someone exclaimed in surprise. "This generation of the Black Sun Tribe has produced two Apex Archdukes, known as the Twin Suns Shining Together. This man is one of them! It's said that he has awakened his bloodline, and his physique is no less than that of his ancestors in their youth!"

His eyes flashed with runes, and with his Bodhimanda Insight, he found the opening in Yue Wukong's attack. With a long sword slash, the sword light flickered, and the force of the strike was fierce and domineering, sealing off all of Yue Wukong's escape routes and any chance of evasion. The Black Sun collapsed under the frontal assault!

"Could he have entered already?"

The next moment, a domineering fist intent smashed through the surrounding giant trees, spreading out in a fan-shaped pattern.

All beings have the potential to give birth to spiritual essence.

The next moment.

"A martial artist from the Flaming Federation?"

Wan Shan struggled to raise his hand, wanting to cover the blood gushing from his throat, his eyes filled with the desire to survive. But the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and as he raised his hand, his head hit the ground, accompanied by the sound of his skull cracking.

Xi Di triggered Ji Jingqiu's heart demon surge, and after seeing Yue Wukong trapped, he focused his third eye, casting a royal secret art, attempting to invade Ji Jingqiu's spiritual realm, surrounding him with invisible spiritual tendrils. Just as his spiritual power was about to penetrate Ji Jingqiu's spiritual realm—

Duan Xuanji didn't speak. Since everyone had decided to fight, then they would fight. This involved the struggle between the Federation and foreign civilizations, and they couldn't afford to lose face.

His eyes were deep and mysterious, and when he didn't see the world, heaven and earth became invisible.

Ji Jingqiu, having encountered a strong opponent, used Yue Wukong as a whetstone to hone his sword skills.

He remained calm, and as mottled sunlight fell on him, creating a play of light and shadow. He seemed to be enveloped in a divine light, and his figure appeared slightly slender, yet it exuded a powerful aura of mountain-splitting and sea-overturning, inspiring reverence.

He glanced at Duan Xuanji and the others, assessing their situation.

At this moment, a loud shout rang out from a distance, growing closer and closer, accompanied by a powerful force.

This involved the foundation of martial arts and required long-term planning.

Passing through the dense forest, they reached a desolate ruin, with only broken walls and ruins remaining. Many of the buildings had long weathered away, except for a temple deep within, constructed from massive stones, which remained completely unchanged.

Just as everyone thought the Federation martial artist was surely doomed—

Ji Jingqiu raised an eyebrow, this guy was really confident.

Duan Xuanji and Pei Jing exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock. Ji Jingqiu had actually defeated two Radiant Sun Apex Crowned Kings!

His feet gradually sank into the ground, his knees slowly sinking.

At this moment, his sword skills reached a state of perfection. Various sword techniques came naturally to him, unrestrained and free, following his heart's desire, with the power of his sword intent dominating the world, vast and domineering! The battle between the two had already attracted martial artists from all directions, and their numbers were growing.

Yue Wukong's pupils shrank.

Even among first-rate civilizations, these two were among the top-notch Apex Archduke-level martial artists. At this moment, they were both unable to move, completely suppressed! The only figure standing in the field was Ji Jingqiu, his sword intent pressing down on Yue Wukong, and with a single strike, he crushed Xi Di, known for his formidable physique!

He crossed his arms, and arm armor spontaneously appeared, but in an instant, Wan Shan's figure was sent flying, and irreparable cracks appeared on his arm armor! Someone noticed that Wan Shan's flight was almost instantaneous, with no struggle at all! Even his specially crafted arm armor had been shattered?

"Haha, what are two Apex Archdukes? They are the pride of our Flaming Federation, one of this generation's Radiant Suns, named Ji Jingqiu. At just sixteen years old, he has already awakened his bloodline and proven himself in the martial path, undefeated since his debut!"

Not long after, several figures rushed out from the forest.

Indeed, a warrior from a small place with a narrow vision!

It's a pity that this battle didn't live up to expectations. This punch discarded all changes and intricacies, leaving only pure force. It was like a collapsing black sun, erupting with the most powerful strength!

Taidi Tongji frowned, "The Cangqing Temple is right ahead. These people really want us to help them!"

"What a pity... Such a powerful warrior defeated by a same-rank siege..."

"Are you also from the Four Divine Temples?"

An ambush?

He couldn't describe what he had just witnessed. He only knew that in an instant, his mental world collapsed, and the other's mental cultivation far surpassed his own by an unknown margin. Under such a disparity, even with the power of the Four Divinities, he was easily crushed. Stay put? No... This is not just staying put.

Ji Jingqiu's "eyes" seemed to present countless chaotic scenes, disturbing his mental state.

A thunderous boom! Behind Ji Jingqiu, an ocean appeared, vast and boundless. The waves were towering, and the sound of the tides was like thunder, swallowing the heavens, earth, sun, and moon.

"The two Archduke-level warriors are joining forces. The Federation's powerful warrior is in danger..."

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu finally felt a long-lost sense of oppression from the two warriors. This punch seemed like a collapsing black sun, unstoppable.

"Friend, please give me some face and spare the person under your blade!"

He stopped, turned around, and roared, exerting all his strength. The divine script engraved on his body shone with light, allowing the young man to experience the grandeur of the Four Divinities. But the next moment, he suddenly let out a painful scream. With blood gushing from his seven orifices and his mind being devoured, his mental state was almost on the brink of collapse, and his expression was filled with horror. "You are..."

Wanshan was not surprised but rather pleased. This person actually used heart mystic techniques to attack him?

"Not bad..."

After breaking through the [All Dharmas Are Emptiness], his understanding of the blade path was just a step away from divinity.

"Is this also an ambush?"

A blade sheath smashed from the side, cutting off the battlefield.

Speaking of which...

Didn't he know he was a believer of the Four Divinities?

"Impossible. In such a short time, they might not even be able to pass through the stairs."

...

Boom! Yue Wukong was forced to kneel on one knee.

"Wait... The Western Emperor is getting involved too? Two against one, this is too much..."

In the heavens and earth, only the sound of the forest and the sea could be heard, along with a calm voice.

Looking down from a great height, this scorched earth resembled a glaring and unhealed scar, deeply imprinted on the vast expanse of the great earth.

Like thunder from a clear sky.
