Venerable Martial Emperor

Liu Zhi patted his firm chest with a frightened look on his face. If they continued to stay in the mountains, they would also be washed away.    

He didn't know about the hatred between Xu Feng and the Lu Family, but Lu Yifu had seen the five of them before. If they were captured by the guards, they would definitely die.    

"Liu Zhi, are the five of you really going to enter the cave with us?"    

When he told Liu Zhi and the other three that there was a mansion in the crystal mine, Xu Feng had asked for their opinion. All of them expressed that they wanted to follow Xu Feng's footsteps. However, it was different this time. Xu Feng had to confirm it once more.    

Although the Essence Crystal was precious, given the wealth of the Lu Family's Zhou family. However, the Almighty Cave was different. They would definitely be a hundred times more careful than when they were mining the Essence Crystal Vein. In other words, Xu Feng and the others would be in a hundred times more danger!    

"Mr. Feng, although I don't know what kind of grudge you have with Lu Zhou and his family, you schemed so hard to make them lose their Essence Crystal, it must be a deep hatred. If I leave today, I, Liu Zhi, have no morality to speak of. What face do I have to live in this world?"    

Liu Zhi's words were righteous, and he didn't seem to be joking. Even though Xu Feng had advised him several times and even promised to give them a portion of the treasure, they were still unwilling to let Xu Feng and Zhao Loong take the risk alone.    

"Good brother, if you are in trouble, you should share it with us. If you are in trouble, we can drink together!"    

Compared to Xu Feng's excuses, Zhao Loong was much more straightforward. He patted Xu Feng's shoulder, took out his wine pot from his Storage Ring, and gave it to Xu Feng.    

"Good brother!"    

Xu Feng drank a mouthful of wine fiercely, but didn't say anything else. Some feelings had come true, and if he continued to reject, it would only appear hypocritical.    

"Next, let's start to break through and obtain greater strength in exchange for greater benefits!"    

If the five of them were at the Middle Period of Martial Essence Stage, they wouldn't stand a chance against the joint forces of Lu Zhou and his family, let alone seize the treasure from their eyes.    

After finding a remote place, Xu Feng distributed the Essence Crystal to everyone. A powerful Yuan energy aura instantly rippled out from within the mountain range. After taking a deep breath, everyone felt refreshed.    

"Late Period of Martial Essence Stage, I'm here!"    

Clenching the Essence Crystal in his hand tightly, Xu Feng could not help but feel excited. In the Middle Period of Martial Essence Stage realm, after going through all kinds of big and small battles, he had long become incomparably focused. Now, he only needed this last flame to break through.    

"Ha!"    

Xu Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, his entire body entering the Essence Crystal. He circulated the Yuan energy within his body, instilling it into the Essence Crystal, communicating with the Yuan energy within the Essence Crystal.    

The Essence Crystal, which had obtained the Yuan energy from the outside, emitted a gentle glow. The Yuan energy within the Essence Crystal followed Xu Feng's guidance and passed through Xu Feng's arm. It circulated through his limbs and bones for eighty-one cycles before finally turning into traces of pure Yuan energy. Slowly, it landed in his Dantian.    

With every increase in a trace of Yuan energy, the energy contained in Xu Feng's Dantian would become stronger. Even though Xu Feng's body and mind were completely focused on his hands, he could still feel the strength of the Yuan energy in his Dantian.    

Two pieces... Eight pieces... sixteen pieces...    

The number of Essence Crystal continued to increase, but Xu Feng's opened dantian... But it was like a bottomless pit, continuously absorbing essence energy. Even if the quality of the Essence Crystal in Xu Feng's hand was a grade higher than the Essence Crystal in the Celestial Mystery Tavern, it was still not enough to satisfy Xu Feng's Dantian that was like a prehistoric beast!    

"So terrifying!"    

Zhao Loong, Liu Zhi and the others had not entered the state of cultivation yet. They couldn't help but take a deep breath when they saw the steady flow of Yuan energy being channeled into Xu Feng's body. They understood that they definitely wouldn't have such a terrifying Essence Strength Undulation when they broke through.    

Even Zhao Loong, who had already reached the Great Perfection of Martial Essence Stage, couldn't help but admire Xu Feng! When he broke through to the Late Period of Martial Essence Stage, the Yuan energy he absorbed was already considered very terrifying, but it wasn't as frightening as Xu Feng's!    

The more Yuan energy he needed to temper his body, the more solid his foundation would be. The later stages of development would be even more vast. At this moment, the Yuan energy on the Essence Crystal was constantly circulating within Xu Feng's body. It was tempering his body. In the end, the surface of Xu Feng's body actually emitted a faint light. It gave him a sense of majesty!    

Thirty-six pieces... Fifty-three pieces... Seventy-five dollars...    

"Still not breaking through?"    

The number of Essence Crystal was still increasing. In his consciousness, Xu Feng had clearly discovered the full size of his dantian. At this time, he should have broken through. But the reality was not like this!    

Just as Xu Feng was puzzled, a huge amount of Yuan energy actually headed towards the acupuncture point on his chest! Ever since the first time he opened that acupuncture point, there was no longer Tokyo. Xu Feng had also tried to use the Yuan energy in his body to open it, but it was useless. The acupoint was as stable as a rock and as immovable like a mountain. No matter how much Yuan energy Xu Feng poured into it, it did not matter. There was no reaction at all.    

"Uh huh..."    

The Yuan energy left in Xu Feng's Dantian did not pose any threat to him, but when all the Yuan energy was directed towards an acupuncture point, that kind of piercing pain instantly spread throughout his entire body.    

However, that acupuncture point had been dry for a long time, and now it met with sweet dew. It completely ignored Xu Feng's feelings. It only cared about absorbing the Yuan energy continuously and continuously charging forward.    

Ninety points... One hundred and twenty pieces... One hundred and seventy...    

Xu Feng's body had already reached a limit. His face was completely red. Sweat soaked his clothes, and the speed at which the acupuncture points absorbed Yuan energy slowly decreased. Xu Feng's body did not feel the pain that went deep into his soul.    

"Ah..."    

He let out a long shout and the Essence Crystal in his hand shattered. It turned into a pile of powder and fell to the ground. As for Xu Feng... His Qi was also increasing. At this moment, the Yuan energy in his body was not under his control at all, as if he was a wild beast that had just escaped from its clutches. He was releasing his wild aura in the dark night.    

The acupuncture points on his chest had stopped absorbing Yuan energy. Xu Feng's Dantian was transforming at a visible rate.    

"Rumble!"    

There was actually a faint sound of thunder in his Dantian, as if a huge bolt of lightning was brewing! The Yuan energy in his body was even more ferocious. He faced the sky and roared, continuously provoking the thunder above!    

"Pa!"    

A finger thick bolt of lightning landed on Xu Feng's dantian, but the Yuan energy did not resist at all. Instead, it slowly absorbed the energy contained within the lightning bolt. The lightning bolt did not stop. One after another, eighteen lightning bolts struck. Only then did it stop.    

The energy contained within the lightning continuously baptized Xu Feng's Yuan energy in his Dantian. At this moment, the Yuan energy in Xu Feng's body... It had lost a portion of its solidity and gained a trace of brilliance. There was also a trace of lightning contained within the Yuan energy, which proved that Xu Feng's Yuan energy was extraordinary!    

"Late Period of Martial Essence Stage, it's done!"    

The moment the lightning faded away, a strong feeling of power surged into his heart. Xu Feng suddenly opened his eyes. Numerous rays of light were clearly extinguished in his eyes, and it couldn't conceal the joy in his heart!    

Once upon a time, whenever he was with Lu Lee, he had to endure the oppression of Lu Tianxing and Zhou Tengfei. Because of his weak strength, Lu Yifu still treated him as an ant that he could trample on at will. He actually hired an assassin from the Asura Hall to kill him. The proud and arrogant Xu Feng could no longer bear all kinds of grievances in his heart!    

"Congratulations on Junior Brother Xu Feng's breakthrough!"    

Zhao Loong was the first to walk up and offer his most sincere congratulations!    

Liu Zhi also woke up from his shock. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Xu Feng as if he was looking at a monster.    

"Have you guys not broken through yet? Do you not have enough Essence Crystal? I still have more!"    

Xu Feng still did not understand what was going on. He thought that it was because the Essence Crystal was not enough that Liu Zhi and the others did not have a breakthrough. That was why he said these words.    

... "Mr. Feng, don't joke around. You should keep those Essence Crystal for yourself!"    

It seemed like Dog Two hadn't fully recovered yet. He stuttered as he spoke.    

Only at this moment did Xu Feng notice that his surroundings were actually filled with scattered Essence Crystal. As for those Essence Crystal, the essence energy inside had already been sucked dry, leaving behind only empty shells.    

"These... were all absorbed by me alone?"    

Xu Feng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not daring to believe the reality in front of him! Before entering into cultivation, he had once tested that the Essence Crystal in his hand was equivalent to three Essence Crystal from the Celestial Mystery Tavern. If he multiplied it by three, he would have used nearly 600 Essence Crystal. This was even more than all the Essence Crystal he had collected in the Purple Sun Mystic Realm!    

"Otherwise, it was me who did it?"    

Liu Zhi looked at Xu Feng with a look of disdain, as if he was telling someone not to pretend not to know what he had done!    

Xu Feng did not have any consciousness at that time. He only felt that the acupuncture points on his chest needed a large amount of Yuan energy to continuously absorb. Even if his entire body was in pain, he still wanted to charge into the acupuncture points!    

The Prison Suppressing Fist was a martial art that his mother had left for him. Xu Feng had always firmly believed that the Prison Suppressing Fist was a martial art that his mother had left for him. He had other secrets, otherwise his mother would not have personally left a word for him. And by chance, he discovered that the acupuncture points on his chest could increase the power of the Prison Suppressing Fist!    

"Oh right, the Prison Suppressing Fist!"    

With a thought, Xu Feng's palm kept flying. Now, he was extremely familiar with the Prison Suppressing Fist. With just a few hand seals, the Prison Suppressing Fist was released.    

"Bang!"    

The Prison Suppressing Fist turned into a huge fist shadow in the air, striking out like a clap of thunder. It rang eight times, and it was no longer as clear and crisp as before. On the contrary, it also had the momentum of breaking one's legs. With a thought, Xu Feng's fist swept towards a huge tree.    

"Hualala!"    

The thick tree that the two of them were hugging actually snapped in half by Xu Feng's fist and fell down. Not only that, the surrounding trees were also affected, and their broken limbs fell to the ground.
