Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 51 Heavenly Warrior!
The dense fog was being frantically absorbed by the Mist Spirit King's body, absorbed...

The dense fog covering the Wulin Mountain range transformed into rapidly surging, dark-colored clouds that quickly gathered in all directions.

Finally, they were all swallowed by the Mist Spirit King's body.

Immediately afterwards, the Mist Spirit King's body began to shrink rapidly—

Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue felt the Heavenly Martial Power surging wildly into their foreheads!
The feeling of continuously and maximally surging into the Heavenly Martial Power was as if it was about to burst my forehead!

The path that the Heavenly Martial Force flowed through his body felt as if it would tear his neck and body apart alive!

A massive amount of Heavenly Martial Power was rapidly poured into Lin Xiufeng's Zhongji acupoint in a short period of time.

suddenly!

Lin Xiufeng felt that the Zhongji acupoint was completely filled by the power of Tianwu, turning into a black sphere.

'The Heart of Heavenly Martial Arts!'

Lin Xiufeng's forehead was still being continuously infused with massive amounts of Heavenly Martial Power, and his consciousness was only able to perceive a trace of it, vaguely capturing the changes within himself.

The moment the Black Heavenly Martial Heart was formed, thirteen streams of exceptionally high energy surged out from within, each rushing towards one of thirteen points on Lin Xiufeng's body!

These are the Yongquan acupoint, Taichong acupoint, Sanyinjiao acupoint, and Kunlun acupoint on both feet, totaling eight points.

There are four acupoints on both hands: Shaofu and Yuji.

The last stream flows to the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head.

Thirteen streams of exceptionally high-concentration Heavenly Martial Power instantly filled the thirteen acupoints, and condensed at the acupoints to form black energy balls, each about one-fifth the diameter of the Heavenly Martial Heart, resembling miniature versions of the Heavenly Martial Heart.

The Mist Spirit King's body was still rapidly shrinking, and a massive amount of Heavenly Martial Power continued to surge towards the colorful light beads on Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue's foreheads.

The inflow of Heavenly Martial Power was accelerating, and it was all absorbed by the black Heavenly Martial Heart in the extreme acupoint in Lin Xiufei's lower abdomen.

During this process, Lin Xiufeng finally felt less strained.

The body became able to easily withstand the high-speed influx of Heavenly Martial Power, and the terrifying feeling of being burst at any moment was gone.

Just as the Mist Spirit King's light body shrank to two meters in height, it suddenly surged into the light beads on the foreheads of the two people in an instant.

This portion of the Heavenly Martial Power energy did not flow into their bodies again.

Lin Xiufeng's senses fully returned, and he found that his ears seemed to be more sensitive to sound, and he could hear from a great distance.

The movement of celestial forces in the air always makes a sound.

The energies of the Heavenly Martial Force seemed to be rubbing and colliding with each other, accompanied by a continuous hissing sound.

But after the initial novelty wore off, the constant buzzing sound in my ears was incredibly unpleasant!
'It's noisy!'

Just as Lin Xiufeng was thinking this, his hearing suddenly returned to normal.

He wanted to hear again, and his hearing became acute once more.

'So it's controllable!'

Lin Xiufeng was relieved; otherwise, enduring that hissing sound for so long would have driven him crazy sooner or later.

Lin Xiufeng swung his fist, but felt that his speed was no faster than before.

To be precise, there was no change in the body.

'The movements of the golden sword and silver saber were clearly very fast!'

Lin Xiufeng tried to activate the Heavenly Martial Heart at the Zhongji acupoint. The rapidly surging high concentration of Heavenly Martial Power flowed through his arm as he directed it.

At the same time, the punch he threw became incredibly fast!

The punch was thrown so powerfully that it seemed to tear the air apart.

This black, highly concentrated Heavenly Martial Power flowed onto my hand, to the Shaofu acupoint, the Yuji acupoint, and suddenly a surge of Heavenly Martial Power erupted from the black light bead of the small Heavenly Martial Heart.

The two merged, covering the fist and becoming a tangible layer of black light that enveloped it.

Lin Xiufeng clearly felt that the Heavenly Martial Power in his fist at this moment seemed capable of exploding the Heavenly Martial Soul with a single punch!

'The physical body of a Heavenly Warrior remains essentially unchanged; the greater power comes from the high-concentration Heavenly Martial Force energy supplied by the Heavenly Martial Heart…'

'The Heavenly Martial Power transmitted by the Heavenly Martial Heart far surpasses that of the Heavenly Martial Soul Cannon Fist by many times! And it doesn't even require charging.'

What's the deal with the thirteen Lesser Heavenly Martial Hearts?

'I'd heard that Heavenly Martial Artists place bone powder at acupoints; could it be for cultivating the Lesser Heavenly Martial Heart?'

'Before breaking through to the Heavenly Martial Realm, I absorbed approximately thirteen layers of Heavenly Martial Power, and now I possess thirteen Lesser Heavenly Martial Hearts…'

Lin Xiufeng was pondering the changes within herself.

Zhao Youyue is the same.

Once she had figured everything out in a short time, Zhao Youyue exclaimed with joy:

"Lin Xiufeng, do you have thirteen Lesser Heavenly Martial Hearts in your body? Have the Heavenly Martial Hearts absorbed a lot of Heavenly Martial Power?" "Yes. I was just thinking of trying to guide the Heavenly Martial Power from the Heavenly Martial Hearts to infuse my whole body. I wonder if it will continue to evolve my body like the Heavenly Martial Soul."

"I tried it! It can break through just like the Heavenly Martial Soul, but the increase in physical strength is very small, only about one percent, so I didn't continue."

Zhao Youyue's test is very telling.

Lin Xiufeng also realized that the Heavenly Martial Power of the Heavenly Martial Heart should probably be used to cultivate the Lesser Heavenly Martial Heart.

Zhao Youyue channeled the power of the Heavenly Martial Arts to her feet, and a red light immediately shone beneath them.

Zhao Youyue moved with both feet, flying and shifting as fast as the wind.

"The acupoints with the Little Heavenly Martial Heart have an exceptionally strong power boost. If you intentionally try to prevent the Little Heavenly Heart from amplifying your power, your movement speed will be much slower!"

Lin Xiufeng tried it, and it worked!

"It should be what Qin Yong was talking about, the difference between cultivating different acupoints."

"Yes, I guessed so. There are too many acupoints, and it's obviously not the optimal solution to cultivate them all in a short period of time. Different combinations of which ones to cultivate and which ones not to cultivate should bring different advantages."

"You've tried to break through, so estimate how many breakthroughs' worth of Heavenly Martial Power the Heavenly Martial Heart holds?"

Lin Xiufeng did not attempt to fully energize his body for a breakthrough, so there's no way to estimate it.

Zhao Youyue said with certainty:

"That's roughly equivalent to breaking through thirty-six times. Originally... that would definitely have been enough for everyone to break through to the Heavenly Warrior realm! We unexpectedly got to enjoy it all by ourselves."

"There's nothing we can do in special circumstances. If we don't transform into the Mist King and absorb it all at once, we won't be able to withstand the Mist King's energy absorption technique. So, it's like only the two of us can absorb this part."

Lin Xiufeng was telling the truth, and Zhao Youyue agreed, saying:

"We'll do everything we can to help them break through!"

"Team spirit, that's how it should be. Let's reunite with everyone first."

After saying that, Lin Xiufeng shouted at the top of her lungs.

Fang Yuan and his group, who were hiding in a cave on the cliff outside, were unexpectedly safe so quickly.

The group climbed to the edge of the cliff, but could not see any mist at all.

"The Mist Spirit King was killed?"

Ren Xing was both surprised and delighted. He couldn't imagine how he could withstand the energy-absorbing killing move, or how he could absorb all of Tianwu's power in such a short time.

"We broke through to the Heavenly Warrior realm, and then an unexpected change occurred, absorbing all of the Mist Spirit King's Heavenly Warrior power in a very short time."

Lin Xiufeng gave a brief explanation.

"That's great! It would be so painful if I couldn't absorb it, all those days' worth of martial power!"

Ren Xing felt no regret for himself whatsoever.

Because she had previously felt that she would not be able to absorb it, and had even prepared herself to be forced to give up the Mist Spirit King.

Fang Yuan then asked with concern, "How many layers did you absorb before you successfully broke through?"

"We are all on the thirteenth floor."

Lin Xiufeng told them the truth, and the four of them felt a wave of despair.

"This stroke of luck allowed me to accumulate ten layers so quickly. Without the Mist Spirit King, how long would it take to accumulate thirteen layers!"

Liu Qingqing felt that this extreme contrast between joy and sorrow was simply outrageous.

"It should be enough to come back next year."

Fang Yuan was also disappointed, but he didn't have a strong emotional reaction.

This achievement has far exceeded expectations. He and Ren Xing went from the fourth level of the Heavenly Martial Soul when they joined Youlin Feiyue to the ninth level of the Heavenly Martial Soul, which is close to the maximum level, or the tenth level of the Heavenly Martial Soul.

Would you have dared to think of that before?

I wouldn't even dare to think of this in my dreams!

Liu Qingqing and Ma Jin were even more outrageous, jumping from the second level of the Heavenly Martial Soul to the tenth level in one fell swoop.

It's like rising to the top in one step!
Ma Jin also comforted her, saying, "Qingqing, we've achieved great success in one fell swoop; there's nothing to be happy about."

"That's right! It's only a year, it's nothing!"

Liu Qingqing immediately perked up again.

A ninth level of Heavenly Martial Soul is roughly equivalent to the maximum level. In the Heavenly Martial Soul group, this level of strength makes them the elder brothers and sisters in the eyes of others.

Before, everyone seemed stronger than me, but suddenly I'm looking down on Tianwupo!
The progress was too rapid; Liu Qingqing felt she needed to digest it properly.
