Chapter 440 - Breaking Through Another Level

Opening his eyes, Chen Fan expelled a breath of turbid qi, a gleam of brilliance flickering in his gaze.

“Excellent. I have finally advanced to the next level. Ah... but I have completely used up Daoist Corpse Spirit’s divine nascent essence. Now, I only have the Divine Stone of Life to increase my cultivation.”

Daoist Corpse Spirit was an almighty powerhouse at the peak of the Heavenly Star realm. Although his divine nascent essence contained vast amounts of vitality energy, it wasn’t endless.

The more one advanced in the Core Formation realm, the more resources they would need. Chen Fan had expected as much and didn’t plan on relying solely on the divine nascent essence to advance to the Divine Nascent realm. After all, that would have been too unrealistic.

“Now, I should practice my martial skills to condense my true primeval.” Rising from his seat, he walked to a small forest on the mountain peak, where he practiced martial arts.

Apart from being an excellent means to attack opponents, one could also use martial arts to condense their primeval force or true primeval.

“Prairie Fire Hundred Strikes!”

“Northern Star Reaper Hand!”

“Great Brahma Sacred Palm!”

At a clearing in the small forest, Chen Fan’s true primeval surged. Sometimes, spear light shot out like flaming meteors; at others, energy surged in his palms, smashing out with the power to topple mountains and overturn seas, stirring fierce gales and scattering gravel.

Chen Fan spent a few days practicing two of his earth tier martial skills.

Splash.

Chen Fan returned to the secret room and sat cross-legged in the pool of Heavenly Yang Sacred Water. Huge elephant runes materialized and merged into his flesh and blood. The occasional trumpets from the ancient huge elephants filled the room.

His Myriad Elephants Divine Art was at the thirteenth layer—the Myriad Elephants Realm. When he punched, the power of ten thousand elephants erupted, allowing him to break mountains, move mountains, part the sea, and even shatter the stars.

That helped him snatch victory from the jaws of defeat during his fight against Feng Tianxia.

However, the power of the myriad elephants was too terrifying. Although Chen Fan’s physique was comparable to a Grade-3 treasure, he could only use the attack about three to four times.

Such outbursts of strength weren’t sustainable for long, as his physique could not support them. If he had used it a few more times, he would have crumbled like loose soil.

The energy of the Heavenly Yang Sacred Water entered Chen Fan, strengthening his blood, flesh, tendons, bones, and membranes. If he mastered the Myriad Elephants Divine Art completely, he could use the power of ten thousand elephants as he wished, becoming strong enough to destroy even a hundred-thousand-foot-tall mountain with a simple move.

Time passed quickly and silently while Chen Fan cultivated bitterly.

He allocated his time very well, so his cultivation, martial skills, and physique improved in tandem.

In the secret room, Chen Fan held the Divine Stone of Life, revolving the Heaven Seizing Art, drawing energy from the stone.

He was immersed in cultivation. His true primeval kept growing, gathering in his acupuncture points and producing crackling noises.

Chen Fan felt a sense of joy as his spirit and flesh united as one. Every thought in his mind filled him with happiness.

Primeval stones erupted one after another, swirling around him to form a dense mass of primeval qi. Layer upon layer of storms coalesced, encircling him.

Several vortexes emerged, greedily devouring the surrounding primeval qi as Chen Fan tried to advance to the sixth level.

Although the life origin within the Divine Stone of Life wasn’t as vast as the divine nascent essence, it was purer and more refined.

Inside Chen Fan, his true primeval grew increasingly stronger.

In a continuous cycle of intake and release, his true primeval suddenly surged, triggering a series of explosions within him.

He stretched out his limbs. Behind Chen Fan, the Heaven Seizing Furnace manifested. Within it, lava churned and boiled endlessly.

His blood now possessed a glaze-like hue, immaculate and devoid of impurities. It was like a starry, moonlit sky, or the vast expanse of the sea under a sunlit sky, radiating brilliance for miles around.

Martial artists cultivate and increase their cultivation by absorbing massive amounts of the primeval qi of heaven and earth. However, Chen Fan directly refined life origin essence, elevating his life form to an unimaginable level.

His golden core shone brightly; it trembled as it grew bigger. His true primeval surged wildly like a great river in his meridians.

Once again, Chen Fan found himself at a crucial juncture in his cultivation. Breaking through this threshold meant ascending to the sixth level.

However, a breakthrough in cultivation wasn’t achieved overnight. It required constant accumulation, akin to water slowly wearing away stone.

If he wanted to advance to the sixth level, he still had to spend more time refining his true primeval, making his golden core even purer.

For six days and nights, he remained immersed in this process, oblivious to the passage of time. Day blurred into night as he remained singularly focused on his cultivation.

One morning, Chen Fan channeled all the energy inside him. Silver wisps snaked through his veins and deep into him, while his true primeval churned, stirring the very fabric of existence.

He suddenly roared, and the Heaven Seizing Furnace appeared, its suction power drawing in the primeval qi from all directions, akin to rivers converging into the ocean.

He waved his arm, and numerous demon cores and corpse cores flew into the Heaven Seizing Furnace. Sizzling noises rang out, and they transformed into a vast amount of pure essences.

Suddenly, an invisible, majestic power erupted, slamming into the walls of the secret room. The engraved formation runes appeared, flashing brightly as if they were about to break.

The surrounding air exploded.

About a quarter of an hour later, Chen Fan’s aura calmed down, leaving behind an aura of unusual quiet.

Chen Fan’s mind became unprecedentedly clear and bright, and his physique underwent a revolutionary change.

Sixth-level Core Formation realm, achieved!

“I’ve finally reached the sixth level! With my current strength, I can even fight against those at the eighth level. It wouldn’t be easy for even Duan Jingtian to kill me if he tried.”

A sense of contentment washed over Chen Fan as he stretched his muscles and bones, exiting the secret cultivation room.

He used to be an ant Duan Jingtian could easily crush; now, he had already grown into a fierce tiger. Soon, he would be strong enough to devour Duan Jingtian instead.

As he walked out of the secret cultivation room and basked in the bright sunlight, his storage ring suddenly moved. With a thought, a communication jade talisman appeared in his hand.

“What? The clan is in danger!”
