Chapter 357: Infinite Divine Surge, Reversal of Life and Death

Chapter 357: Infinite Divine Surge, Reversal of Life and Death

"Your disciple, Meng Chong, has broken through to the Divine Profound Realm and awakened the divine ability Infinite Divine Surge. You have obtained the divine ability Infinite Divine Surge!"

Infinite Divine Surge!

"The uniqueness of this physical martial arts divine ability lies in its unparalleled defense and heft."

Li Xuan marveled inwardly.

Infinite Divine Surge surrounds the body with surging waves, overwhelming any attacks that come its way and rendering them invisible.

Even attacks targeting the primordial spirit can be defended against.

Moreover, Infinite Divine Surge can also transform into a surging offensive attack, sweeping through enemies like a mighty tide with its overwhelming might.

"Meng Chong's divine ability is impressive. Physical martial arts are already formidable for their robust bodies, and with this defensive divine ability, enemies will find it challenging to break through unless they possess an extremely powerful divine ability. Even with double the strength, breaking through this defense will be difficult."

Once the Eighteen-Meter Golden Body is activated, turning him into a small giant, and coupled with the Infinite Divine Surge, overwhelming thousands of troops would be a breeze.

"Your disciple, Meng Chong, has broken through to the Divine Profound Realm and awakened the divine ability Limb Regeneration. You have obtained the divine ability Limb Regeneration!"

Meng Chong's second divine ability might not be as robust as One Thought Regeneration or Dripping Blood Regeneration, but being able to regenerate limbs is still incredibly powerful.

This meant that even if he suffered any severe injuries, he could recover in a short time.

"Limb Regeneration consumes martial arts origin and one's essence and blood. However, for a physical martial artist, essence and blood, as well as a robust martial arts origin, are in abundance."

As long as the martial arts origin is not instantly depleted, even if it is consumed, it can be recovered through further cultivation.

Physical martial artists are known for their robust recovery abilities, and a single use of Limb Regeneration would not deplete much of their martial arts origin.

"My martial arts will never lead to a situation where my origin is exhausted and unable to recover. This divine ability is also excellent, showcasing the uniqueness of physical martial arts."

Li Xuan nodded, quite satisfied with Meng Chong's second divine ability.

"Limb Regeneration will likely become a divine ability that all physical martial artists will eventually possess."

Li Xuan mused.

After acquiring his second divine ability, Meng Chong continued his breakthrough, his aura fluctuating as an outline of a great sun seemed to appear above his head.

"Your disciple, Meng Chong, has broken through to the Divine Profound Realm and awakened the divine ability Great Sun Immolating. You have obtained the divine ability Great Sun Immolating!"

Meng Chong's third divine ability—Great Sun Immolating!

"This is an aggressive divine ability, fierce and domineering, with formidable power!"

Li Xuan nodded inwardly.

When Great Sun Immolating is activated, it's like a great sun hanging above one's head, and when it's unleashed, it resembles a falling sun, its might terrifying.

Furthermore, it can be infused with blade intent, showcasing dominance and fierceness as if it could annihilate everything.

"Your disciple, Meng Chong, has broken through to the Divine Profound Realm and awakened the divine ability Unparalleled Wind and Thunder Slash. You have obtained the divine ability Unparalleled Wind and Thunder Slash!"

The fourth divine ability was also an aggressive one.

With wind and thunder at one's command, a single slash is unparalleled, and its dominance is unmatched!

"Your disciple, Meng Chong, has broken through to the Divine Profound Realm and awakened the divine ability Great Sun Crossing. You have obtained the divine ability Great Sun Crossing!"

Great Sun Crossing is a movement-type divine ability. With a mere thought, one can cross the sky like a great sun, exuding wild and fierce energy.

"This movement technique perfectly suits the characteristics of physical martial arts!"

Li Xuan nodded to himself.

Xu Yan's One Thought No Trace allows him to instantly teleport far away, leaving no trace or shadow behind.

On the other hand, Meng Chong's style is like a descending sun, suddenly appearing and exuding dominance and wildness.

"If Meng Chong doesn't want to be so flashy, he can also cultivate a low-key and swift movement divine ability."

Li Xuan muttered.

He had also included some movement and speed-type divine abilities in the Divine Ability Martial Codex.

Like Meng Chong, who had broken through to the Divine Profound Realm, Su Lingxiu would most likely awaken five divine abilities as well.

As for Xie Lingfeng, he probably wouldn't awaken as many divine abilities when he breaks through.

After breaking through to the Divine Profound Realm, Meng Chong calmed himself before becoming excited and testing out his newfound divine abilities.

Boom!

The Eighteen-Meter Golden Body stood between heaven and earth, the Infinite Divine Surge surging as if a divine being had descended!

Zi Yun stared at him, mesmerized.

"Second Senior Brother, let's spar!"

Xu Yan rubbed his hands together.

"Alright!"

Meng Chong nodded.

Boom!

The clash of divine abilities erupted in the clouds.

Xu Yan's body was surrounded by the Unyielding Yin-Yang Sword, while Meng Chong unleashed the Infinite Divine Surge.

Boom!

Meng Chong held the wind and thunder in his hand as he slashed down, the violent wind and thunderous blade light resembling the end of the world.

Xu Yan pointed his sword, and mountains and rivers appeared within it, causing the violent wind and thunderous blade light to vanish instantly.

Then, the wind and thunder from Meng Chong's blade surged out and counterattacked towards him.

Boom!

A great sun appeared above Meng Chong's head, and he punched out, the might of Great Sun Immolating erupting from his fist.

The spar continued.

On the Evergreen Pavilion, Su Lingxiu and the others were stunned.

The might of these divine abilities was truly terrifying!

"I suddenly feel like the battles between the strong experts in the Spirit Realm are like children playing house."

Cai Ling'er muttered to herself.

It was a whole different level of power.

The might of divine abilities was truly unimaginable.

"Master, Master, who's stronger between Big Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother?"

Su Lingxiu, excited, grabbed her master's arm and asked curiously.

"Your Big Senior Brother."

Li Xuan glanced at them and knew the outcome.

Xu Yan was undoubtedly superior.

While Meng Chong's Infinite Divine Surge was robust defensively, Xu Yan's divine abilities were also extremely powerful.

Especially the Ultimate Sword, a sword art divine ability that could obliterate the heavens and earth and tear through the Infinite Divine Surge.

Of course, this single sword strike might not be able to injure Meng Chong.

Xu Yan also had another powerful ability—Mountains and Rivers in the Sword. Once his opponents were enveloped by the mountains and rivers, all combat and divine abilities would be within Xu Yan's control.

Naturally, the ultimate victor would be Xu Yan.

However, it wouldn't be easy for Xu Yan to defeat Meng Chong.

It was just that Xu Yan had a slight edge, and his insights into martial arts went deeper, his path more refined.

Although Xu Yan cultivated orthodox martial arts, he also incorporated the essence of physical martial arts, alchemy martial arts, and esoteric martial arts, refining his own martial arts path.

Among the four disciples, the one with the most potential to forge his own unique martial arts path was undoubtedly Xu Yan.

His martial arts were extremely refined, and even when he incorporated the essence of other martial arts, he remained on a pure martial arts path.

After sparring with Meng Chong and witnessing each other's divine abilities, they gained new insights.

"Master!"

After the spar, Meng Chong returned to the flying boat, excited.

"Un, not bad!"

Li Xuan nodded.

Meng Chong grinned, relieved that he hadn't disappointed his master too much.

"Meng Chong, you're so amazing! You're so fierce!"

Zi Yun bounced over excitedly and hung onto Meng Chong, stroking his body.

Meng Chong grabbed her and pulled her down. "Stop fooling around!"

"Hehe..."

Zi Yun giggled.

Now that the Second Senior Brother had broken through, Su Lingxiu felt a little pressured. If the Fourth Senior Brother also broke through, wouldn't she, as the Senior Sister, be too weak?

She was just a hair's breadth away from accumulating enough foundation, and soon she would be able to breakthrough to the Divine Profound Realm.

After Meng Chong's breakthrough, he needed to refine the subsequent cultivation of the Great Sun Unending Body.

The Evergreen Pavilion's flying boat continued drifting towards Yuzhou.

Not long after entering Yuzhou, Su Lingxiu encountered her breakthrough opportunity.

"Your disciple, Su Lingxiu, has cultivated the martial arts techniques you created and broken through to the Divine Profound Realm. Your primordial spirit has increased a hundredfold!"

Boom!

Along with the feedback from the Great Dao Golden Book, Li Xuan's primordial spirit instantly increased a hundredfold. In his spiritual platform, the primordial spirit body was now indistinguishable from his physical body.

Even if he left his physical body, there would be no difference between his primordial spirit and his corporeal form.

"A hundredfold increase in my primordial spirit, physical body, and divine abilities—this all-around enhancement is exhilarating!"

Li Xuan appeared calm and collected on the surface, but inwardly, he was thrilled.

"I wonder what it would be like to spar with an Immortal Venerable. It would be interesting to gauge their strength."

Although he had never encountered an Immortal Venerable and didn't know the specifics of their capabilities, Li Xuan was confident that with his current strength, defeating an Immortal Venerable would be a breeze.

"Your disciple, Su Lingxiu, has reached an ultimate transformation during her breakthrough to the Divine Profound Realm. She has transformed into the Primordial Undying Holy Physique, and you have obtained the Primordial Undying Holy Physique!"

Just as he had expected, his disciple's every breakthrough and transformation followed a consistent pattern, progressing towards a specific direction.

With the next realm breakthrough, she would undergo a transformation into a Holy Physique.

And he, too, would attain the Primordial Undying Holy Body!

"If we continue cultivating and transforming, what kind of physique will we attain next?"

Li Xuan could hardly imagine, as if there were truly no limits.

"Su Lingxiu, this girl, is an Alchemist martial artist, not particularly skilled in killing, but that doesn't mean she's incapable of it. I wonder what kind of divine ability she will manifest?"

Li Xuan silently observed Su Lingxiu's breakthrough.

"Your disciple, Su Lingxiu, has broken through to the Divine Profound Realm and awakened the divine ability 'Reversal of Life and Death.' You have obtained the divine ability 'Reversal of Life and Death'!"

Reversal of Life and Death!

"This divine ability is quite something."

The Reversal of Life and Death allowed one to reverse life and death, transfer damage, take away life force, and bestow vitality.

It could be used to heal or to kill inconspicuously.

Furthermore, it could also redirect and reverse attacks targeted at oneself, making it quite enigmatic.

"Your disciple, Su Lingxiu, has broken through to the Divine Profound Realm and awakened the divine ability 'Heavenly Spirit Flame.' You have obtained the divine ability 'Heavenly Spirit Flame'!"

Su Lingxiu's second divine ability, Heavenly Spirit Flame, was born within her spiritual platform. It could blend with the heavens and earth, and when infused with spiritual energy, it left no trace of its presence. It was useful for both pill refining and combat.

"Although it's not as impressive as my Evergreen Divine Flame, this Heavenly Spirit Flame is still quite remarkable. Moreover, as our strength increases, it can also undergo transformations."

Heavenly Spirit Flame was a divine ability unique to Alchemist martial artists. Other Alchemist cultivators who reached the Divine Profound Realm would also awaken a similar divine ability.

Of course, even among Heavenly Spirit Flames, or flame-type divine abilities, there were varying levels of strength.

Undoubtedly, Su Lingxiu possessed the most exceptional Heavenly Spirit Flame among Alchemist martial artists, second only to Li Xuan himself.

"Your disciple, Su Lingxiu, has broken through to the Divine Profound Realm and awakened the divine ability 'Divine Furnace Hundred Refinements.' You have obtained the divine ability 'Divine Furnace Hundred Refinements'!"

Su Lingxiu's third divine ability, Divine Furnace Hundred Refinements, was a unique ability that allowed her to refine higher-quality pills, refine all things in the heavens and earth, and transmute life and death, among other wondrous functions.

With sufficient strength, she could continuously improve and even refine the unchanging essence.

"Not bad at all!"

Li Xuan nodded inwardly.

Su Lingxiu's three divine abilities were not primarily focused on killing, but that didn't mean they lacked offensive power.

"Your disciple, Su Lingxiu, has broken through to the Divine Profound Realm and awakened the divine ability 'Starry Sky Divine Radiance.' You have obtained the divine ability 'Starry Sky Divine Radiance'!"

Li Xuan was surprised to see that she had manifested a divine ability with offensive characteristics.

Starry Sky Divine Radiance was a highly covert divine ability that hid within the heavens and earth. With a single thought, starry radiance would appear like needles, arriving in an instant and killing inconspicuously.

"Using Starry Sky Divine Radiance for healing is also feasible, and it can be used to treat a large number of people simultaneously."

Li Xuan mused to himself.

Using Starry Sky Divine Radiance to perform the Golden Needle Acupuncture technique was also possible, with the starry radiance acting like needles, covering a wide area and simultaneously treating a large group of people.

"Only one more divine ability left."

Li Xuan also had a guess about Su Lingxiu's final divine ability, which would likely be a movement-type ability.

After all, Su Lingxiu had also comprehended the Eight Trigrams and enlightened a martial art.

The birth of divine abilities was related to one's cultivated martial arts.

"Your disciple, Su Lingxiu, has broken through to the Divine Profound Realm and awakened the divine ability 'Thousand Illusions, No Shadow.' You have obtained the divine ability 'Thousand Illusions, No Shadow'!"

As expected, Su Lingxiu's fifth divine ability was a movement-type ability.

Thousand Illusions, No Shadow allowed her to create countless illusions with a single thought, making it impossible for enemies to capture her true body, and she could disappear in an instant.

With the birth of her fifth divine ability, Su Lingxiu had completely broken through to the Divine Profound Realm. Three out of four disciples had now reached this realm.

Only Fang Hao, the eccentric martial artist, was slightly behind.

But Fang Hao wasn't far from making a breakthrough as well.

After her breakthrough, Su Lingxiu excitedly returned to the flying boat.

"Master!"

She looked at her master expectantly, awaiting his evaluation.

"Not bad."

Li Xuan nodded.

"Master, you're being perfunctory!"

Su Lingxiu furrowed her delicate brows.

"No, it's really not bad!"

Li Xuan sighed in exasperation.

"Junior Sister, what divine abilities did you awaken?"

Meng Chong asked curiously.

"None of them are for killing!"

Su Lingxiu sighed.

Her aura fluctuated, and a faint black and white light flashed by.

Meng Chong's expression turned solemn as he felt the overwhelming divine power surging within him. The black and white light seemed to pose a significant threat to him.

"Taking away life force?"

Meng Chong wondered aloud.

"Not just that, it can also bestow life force, transfer damage, and reverse life and death..."

Su Lingxiu continued happily.

She raised her delicate hands, and a faint green flame burned in her palm.

Then, the flame disappeared into the heavens and earth, leaving almost no trace.

"Heavenly Spirit Flame—it will be much easier to refine pills now. I can create purer and higher-quality pills..."

Next, Su Lingxiu demonstrated her Divine Furnace Hundred Refinements ability.

"Junior Sister, you have such a covert offensive divine ability?"

Xu Yan exclaimed in surprise.

"Big Brother, you noticed it too?"

Su Lingxiu pouted unhappily.

As she willed it, starry radiance filled the air, like countless needles surrounding them.

Du Yu'er and the others felt their scalps tingle. They had no idea how the starry radiance appeared, formed, or came to surround them.

Even Red Cat's fur stood on end! It was only at the moment the starry radiance appeared that it sensed the attack. If someone had truly struck out at it, it would have been turned into a porcupine by now.
