Chapter 434: Chapter 261: Barrier

Fang Yue stood before the wall of Qi, his gaze piercing.

He knew this Restriction was the final barrier to the Armory Pavilion. Only by breaking it could he reach the precious weapons and Secret Manuals within.

He took a deep breath, circulating the Primordial Qi in his body to its absolute limit, and prepared to break the Restriction.

As his Primordial Qi surged, a faint, soft glow enveloped Fang Yue, filled with power.

He extended his hands, palms facing each other, and slowly approached the wall of Qi. The instant his fingertips made contact, a powerful repulsive force slammed into him. The impact was so strong it sent him staggering back more than ten steps.

If not for Fang Yue’s exceptionally strong physique, he would have been injured.

Fang Yue was startled. He hadn’t expected the wall’s repulsive force to be so immense.

’It seems brute force won’t be enough to break this Restriction.’

"Maybe I really do need the Hidden Soldier Map. That map might be the key to this treasury!"

Fang Yue sighed, feeling a bit helpless.

He had thought he could break the Restriction by force, but it now seemed he would need to find the Hidden Soldier Map to enter the Armory Pavilion after all.

’Fine. In that case, I might as well raise the Dark Radiant Golden Body to the second level first.’

With the Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng in hand, and with the piercing aura of countless weapons here, this was the perfect place to advance this Body Refining Technique.

Fang Yue turned away from the wall of Qi, found a quiet spot rich with Primordial Qi, and began to cultivate the Dark Radiant Golden Body.

He sat cross-legged, placed the Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng beside him, and took a deep breath to clear his mind of stray thoughts.

He closed his eyes, his consciousness gradually sinking into his body. Following the cultivation method of the Dark Radiant Golden Body, he began to guide the Primordial Qi through specific meridians.

As the Primordial Qi flowed, his skin began to radiate a faint golden luster, as if it were covered by a thin metallic film.

Then, he took out the Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng, gently bit off a small piece, and held it in his mouth.

The Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng’s medicinal potency dissolved rapidly, flowing down his throat and into his body, where it merged with his Primordial Qi.

This medicinal power was incredibly potent, like a searing torrent surging endlessly through his meridians.

Fang Yue operated his Cultivation Technique, fusing this medicinal power with his Primordial Qi to temper his physical body.

He felt his skin growing tougher, as if it had been forged and refined a thousand times over.

At the same time, his strength increased continuously, as if an endless well of potential was being unlocked.

As his cultivation deepened, the surrounding piercing aura of countless weapons was gradually drawn toward him.

This piercing aura was like a host of invisible blades, constantly stabbing into his body and joining the Primordial Qi and medicinal power in tempering his flesh.

Time passed, bit by bit. Fang Yue’s skin gradually became radiant and golden, as if it were covered in a layer of golden armor.

His aura grew stronger and stronger, like that of a waking beast ready to unleash an earth-shattering roar at any moment.

Finally, under the combined tempering of the Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng and the piercing aura of countless weapons, Fang Yue felt his physical body reach a new limit.

He took a deep breath and snapped his eyes open. A sharp glint shot from them, seeming to pierce through the void itself.

"Dark Radiant Golden Body, second level... complete!" Fang Yue exclaimed in a low voice.

At this moment, his skin shimmered with a golden light, as though he wore a suit of golden battle armor. His entire being radiated a powerful aura.

Fang Yue stood up and stretched, feeling his entire body brimming with power.

He was confident that if he were to fight Chen Tiangang now, he could win within thirty moves.

~~~~~~

"This should be the place. Why don’t I see that brat!"

"There’s a pit here. It looks recent. You think the brat might be down there?"

Chen Tiangang and Celestial King Wu had arrived at the valley where the Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng was located. They saw no sign of Fang Yue, nor of the Spirit Medicine.

Instead, they found a deep pit.

"Let’s go down and see!" Celestial King Wu said decisively.

Both men were bold masters of their craft, and without hesitation, they jumped directly into the pit.

The pit was pitch-black, so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. But Chen Tiangang and Celestial King Wu were both Cultivators who could see in the dark; the blackness was no obstacle for them.

The two followed the pit downward and soon arrived at the place where Fang Yue had been.

"I can smell the Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng. It seems that brat was definitely here."

Chen Tiangang said, his expression darkening as he detected the scent in the air.

Celestial King Wu said nothing, instead carefully sensing his surroundings, trying to find any trace of Fang Yue.

Suddenly, his gaze froze as he looked into the distance.

A massive draconic silhouette materialized, lunging at Chen Tiangang with bared fangs and brandished claws.

Chen Tiangang’s face went pale with shock. He never imagined such a powerful entity was hidden in this pit.

His figure flashed, barely dodging the silhouette’s attack. At the same time, he condensed a bolt of Primordial Qi in his hand and counterattacked.

However, his attack passed straight through the draconic silhouette and slammed into the rock wall.

Chen Tiangang was stunned. He hadn’t expected his attack to miss completely.

"This... It’s a projection of Primordial Qi!"

Chen Tiangang cried out, instantly understanding that the massive dragon before him was not a physical entity, but a phantom condensed from Primordial Qi.

The two men couldn’t help but exchange a glance, their hearts stirring with the same thought.

There had to be something incredible in this pit.

"Who knows, maybe we’ve hit the jackpot today. This place must be an Ancient Battlefield, or some kind of hidden treasury."
