Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 160: Strength Surges, the Strongest Qi Condensation Realm in History!

Creating something from nothing is the most difficult thing.

But going from having to having more becomes much easier.

As if the first domino had been toppled, the birth of that golden grain of sand in the dantian completely triggered a chain reaction.

Like specks of primordial energy scattered among interstellar dust, anything that gets close to that golden grain of sand will be assimilated and completely transformed.

Without pausing for a moment, Lin Ye grabbed another Origin Crystal and frantically stuffed it into his mouth.

He wanted to strike while the iron was hot!

The fiery and violent torrent of energy once again washed over the meridians, being guided to surge towards the dantian, putting immense pressure on that dense sea of ​​stars!

The second one, the third one...

Under his inner vision, one after another, solid primordial energy particles the size of sand grains condensed into form.

They attract each other and merge.

Eventually, that initial tiny grain of sand gradually coalesced into a dazzling golden crystal no bigger than a mung bean.

Lin Ye could feel that the innate Qi within his body had been purified to the extreme and was in a critical state.

It has now been completely transformed into this new, higher level of energy.

However, apart from the solid golden aura the size of a mung bean in the very center of the dantian's qi sea.

On the outermost layer, a small handful of liquid golden energy was also slowly flowing, like molten gold.

Lin Ye suddenly understood.

This is what Lin Hanshan referred to as "Liu Gang".

However, it is extremely small, about the size of a bottle cap.

Further out, the atomized golden primordial energy began to permeate the edge of the Qi Sea.

Solid, liquid, gas.

Three forms of energy appeared simultaneously in his dantian!
With a thought, Lin Ye could easily extract a very small portion of the solid primordial energy and decompose it into flowing energy.

If the flow of energy expands again, it can form a misty energy that fills the empty meridians in his body.

Lin Ye estimated that even if he broke down all the original Qi into the most basic mist state, it would only fill half of the twelve meridians.

At this moment, the energy reserves in his body are still less than one percent of what they were during his peak period at the Opening Meridian Realm.

According to the classification of the Condensing Qi Realm as Lin Hanshan told him.

When a martial artist's dantian and qi sea are filled with liquid qi, and the meridians of their torso and limbs are also filled with liquid qi, they are considered to have reached the late stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.

So, what level am I at since I've already been able to condense solidified Qi and Sha right after my breakthrough?
Could it be that I have already surpassed the peak of the Condensation Realm?

The absurd idea had barely formed in his mind when Lin Ye immediately rejected it.

He pondered for a moment and quickly figured it out.

This should be similar to how he was able to possess "pseudo-罡煞" level blood and qi when he was in the Opening Meridian Realm, thanks to the tempering of Origin Crystals.

Thanks to the extreme compression and purification capabilities of the Source Crystal, the quality of the Qi in his body at this moment far exceeds that of the Flowing Qi that ordinary martial artists painstakingly cultivate.

Perhaps, only when his body is completely filled with this kind of solidified Qi will he truly reach the pinnacle of the Qi Condensation Realm.

Having figured this out, another question arose in Lin Ye's mind.

The internal energy within Dongfang Zhen's body possesses inherent attributes.

It is a violent, lightning-attribute aura.

Over the past week, he has also fought against Zhang Daoxuan and others.

Zhang Daoxuan's aura is incomparably sharp and belongs to the metal element.

Only by utilizing his powerful and fierce attributes could he achieve that miraculous ability to control swords and command troops.

So, what is the attribute of your own Gang Sha (罡煞)?

Lin Ye carefully considered it for a moment, but he did not sense any distinct attribute characteristics.

It lacks the ferocity of thunder, the sharpness of gold, and any other bias.

It is pure, ultimate energy.

Is one's own original aura without any attributes?

Or……

Is it all attributes?
Lin Ye couldn't understand it.

Just then, a series of system notifications rang in his mind again.

[Ding! Attribute correction complete!]

[Ding! Your level has increased to LV31!]

You have gained 2 free attribute points!

You have gained 1 skill points!

Why was it upgraded?

Lin Ye was slightly taken aback, then realized that this must be the experience he had accumulated during his fifteen days of intensive training.

After he broke through the realm limit, the system also compensated and returned the funds, without consuming his previous cultivation achievements.

With the completion of the system attribute correction, Lin Ye felt that the original Qi and Sha within his body had increased by a large amount out of thin air!

The golden aura, the size of a mung bean, in the center of the Qi Sea suddenly expanded to the size of a date pit!

More mist emanated from it, instantly filling all the dried-up meridians in the body!

That feeling of emptiness that had lasted for more than half a month was completely swept away!

Instead, there was an unprecedented sense of terrifying power, as if one could punch through the heavens and the earth!

Lin Ye couldn't wait to open the system panel.

[Host: Lin Ye]

Lin Ye stared at the numbers on the panel, his breath catching in his throat for a moment.

He even thought he was seeing things.

He originally thought that the system would correct his attribute values ​​based on the qualitative change in energy, and at most increase them to about 1.5 times his peak Qi Refining Realm level.

But the result before him was completely beyond his expectations!

Almost all of his attributes suddenly increased dramatically!

His three main attributes—strength, agility, and endurance—have increased by more than three times compared to when he was at the peak of the Meridian Opening Realm!
Maximum health has even exceeded six figures!

What surprised Lin Ye even more were two other changes.

One is the explosive increase in one's energy and stamina, which far exceeds the explosive increase in attribute values.

Lin Ye guessed that this was probably the most direct feedback on the panel of the martial artist's characteristics after entering the Condensation Realm, where the martial artist's energy is long-lasting, inexhaustible, and the more they fight, the stronger they become.

The other is the evolutionary level.

If he remembered correctly, after his racial template advanced to Orc Warrior, his evolution level was 1.2.

Now it has become 1.41.

It seems that when a martial artist experiences a qualitative change in the energy they can control, it is equivalent to a leap in their level of life.

Naturally, during the system's certification process, his evolution level points will also increase accordingly.

After confirming that his strength had indeed undergone a tremendous surge, Lin Ye felt a strong impulse.

He was eager to practice.

Test yourself to see just how much stronger you've become!
First and foremost... speed!

Lin Ye's gaze fell on a solitary, twisted, and withered tree a hundred meters away from the cave.

The next moment, with a thought, he poured the newly generated primordial energy within his body into the meridians of his legs without reservation!

boom--!
A dull, loud bang exploded inside the narrow cave!

The ground where Lin Ye had been standing suddenly collapsed, creating a terrifying crater, with countless spiderweb-like cracks spreading wildly in all directions!

He transformed into a blur that was almost invisible to the naked eye, tearing through the air and creating a sharp whistling sound!
boom!
Lin Ye had no time to react and crashed headfirst into the dead tree a hundred meters away!

The thick, withered tree, which required two people to hug, couldn't even withstand the impact for a moment. It exploded violently upon impact, turning into countless fragments!
Lin Ye shook his unharmed head. Although he was not injured, he was extremely shocked.

too fast!
He is currently only using his original Qi to enhance his explosive power, and his speed is already close to the limit he reached in Phase 2 when he activated both [Berserk] and [Instantaneous Movement]!

That is... the speed of sound!
This is just a simple outburst!
What if we add the [Instant Teleport] skill on top of that?

Lin Ye could hardly believe it!

However, at the same time, Lin Ye also discovered that his control over his body at this moment was like that of a newborn baby.

A true strong person would never allow themselves to be "overpowered" in the way they use their strength.

He needs some time to get used to it.

This also reflects the hidden dangers of his method of becoming stronger, while others achieve success through perseverance and gradual accumulation.

After breaking through to a higher realm, gaining control over oneself becomes a natural progression.

But almost every time Lin Ye became stronger, it was accompanied by a leap in stage, making him completely different from before.

He identified the direction and quickly found the cave where he had previously discovered the source crystal vein.

The source crystals that the three puppets brought back were actually less than a third of the mineral vein in that cave.

Lin Ye now has two goals.

First, continue searching for and devouring source crystals.

He wanted to see what would happen if the temporary skill [Silk Puppet] was upgraded to its maximum. His second goal was to test his strength in actual combat and gradually gain control of all his current power.

Having made his decision, Lin Ye lowered his body slightly and sped off towards the cave.

On the desolate plains where volcanic ash drifted, a dark, arrow-like figure appeared.

boom!
A piercing explosion rang out, and a ring of white air surged behind him. Obsidian fragments on the ground were whipped up by the gale, forming a long dragon of smoke and dust.

Almost instantly, Lin Ye had covered a distance of over a thousand meters.

But he was extremely dissatisfied with the commotion he had created.

First, there's the popping sound that occurs after breaking the sound barrier.

Lin Ye had not forgotten the Divine Intent Realm expert who had stood next to Li Kainian during the Dongjiang mock exam.

That powerful individual was also able to traverse a hundred meters in an instant; that speed definitely exceeded the speed of sound.

But they were able to do it without making a single sound.

It appeared as naturally as a shadow.

There must be some technique that can eliminate the sound produced by sonic booms.

Otherwise, when you move at supersonic speeds, making a lot of noise and explosions, it will be extremely uncomfortable while you are disguised and stealthy.

Half a minute later, the outline of the cave in the distance came into view.

At the same time, Lin Ye also saw two small teams composed of different alien races from the Heavenly Abyss appear in front of the cave.

One group had about six or seven members, while the other group had only four.

Lin Ye was very familiar with the larger group among them; it was the Stone Ghost Clan.

Lin Ye was seeing another team of four for the first time.

That must be the other alien race from the Heavenly Abyss that the instructor had told him about before—the Eight-Armed Clan.

These alien races are extremely similar to humans in appearance, with the tallest being no more than two meters tall, but their bodies are exceptionally strong, and every inch of their muscles is full of explosive power.

Their skin was dark, covered with strange, bright red battle patterns that seemed to flow slowly across their skin as if they were alive.

The leader of the alien race had six thick arms, and the red battle markings on its body were more dense and eerie than those of its companions.

One of the six hands held a large axe.

The remaining three ordinary eight-armed creatures only had four arms and were completely unarmed.

But the clenched fist was also covered with a thick layer of keratin, so its destructive power should not be underestimated when swung.

Each of them wore only one expression: extreme rage. Their eyes were bloodshot, as if they were born to fight and kill.

The two teams were facing off, their swords drawn, clearly vying for the source crystal vein in the cave; a battle was imminent.

But the moment Lin Ye appeared, both Tianyuan alien teams turned around and looked at him simultaneously, their crimson eyes blazing with intense hostility and killing intent.

Without pausing, Lin Ye suddenly exerted force with his legs when he was still dozens of meters away from them, transforming himself into a cannonball and rushing straight to the center of the two alien races.

squeak--! !

Strange roars rang out.

The next moment, Lin Ye's eyes narrowed, and he saw four or five invisible sound waves forming from the mouths of the stone demons that were making strange roars, rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed.

Lin Ye's heart stirred.

hum!
A phantom golden armor of qi instantly appeared in front of him.

Countless sound waves crashed into the Qi Sha Armor, but they shattered and disappeared instantly without even causing a ripple.

At the same time, Lin Ye stretched out his right hand and flicked his finger at the Stone Demon Clan member closest to him.

puff!
A faint golden aura flashed by like a shooting star.

Almost instantly, the head of the Stone Goblin Clan member chosen by Lin Ye as a test subject exploded like a watermelon smashed by a heavy hammer!

Grayish-white brain matter and foul-smelling blood splattered directly onto the other tribesmen nearby.

Even as their companion's headless corpse slumped to the ground, they still hadn't realized what had happened.

Lin Ye himself was somewhat surprised.

This is the terrifying power of the external release of Qi Sha to injure enemies!
These stone goblins had served as his puppets, and he knew very well that the skin of these alien races was like rock, with high defense, and their skulls were extremely hard.

Even from more than ten meters away, a flick of his finger could release a burst of energy that would be enough to blow someone's head off.

The fundamental difference between the Condensing Qi Realm and the Opening Meridian Realm was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Their strengths are not even in the same league.

No wonder he was treated like a monster before.

His foundation was so extraordinary that he could contend with a martial artist in the Condensation Realm while still in the Opening Meridian Realm.

Otherwise, which Qi Opening Realm cultivator wouldn't be slapped to death by a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator?
After Lin Ye instantly killed a Stone Goblin, the scene fell into a deathly silence.

Whether it was the remaining Stone Goblin Clan or the four Eight-Armed Clan members, they all turned around, regarding him as their sole enemy, and prepared for battle.

A cruel smile curled at the corner of Lin Ye's lips.

Are you also calling for a truce in the civil war and a united front against external enemies?
As his gaze swept across the area, the level information of these alien races from the Heavenly Abyss clearly appeared before Lin Ye's eyes.

[LV34 Stone Goblin Elite]

[Evolutionary Level: 1.33]

[LV35 Elite Eight-Armed Clan]

[Evolutionary Level: 1.45]

Just as Lin Ye was examining them, the six-armed elite of the eight-armed tribe let out a deafening roar!

The ground beneath its feet trembled violently, and its figure vanished from its original spot in an instant, transforming into a blurry black shadow that brought with it a violent gust of wind, heading straight for Lin Ye's face!
So fast!

Lin Ye's mind could clearly capture the opponent's movement trajectory, but his body's reaction was a beat slower.

Lin Ye was somewhat annoyed.

Given his current physical condition, it is absolutely impossible for him to be aware of something but not act on it.

This situation arises because he needs to adapt to the new power.

He had been holding back his strength because he was afraid of using too much force.

But now, it's clear that things have gone too far.

Seeing that it was too late to dodge, Lin Ye could only use his protective aura to shield himself.

dong dong dong dong!
A series of dense, almost continuous, dull impacts rang out!
The five arms of that elite eight-armed tribe member transformed into countless afterimages, unleashing over a hundred punches in less than a second, each punch precisely striking the aura surrounding Lin Ye's body.

At the same time, the large axe moved with great force, working seamlessly with the other five arms to attack Lin Ye from both sides.

Lin Ye felt waves of violent power surging through the Gang Sha Armor and constantly impacting his body.

It made him involuntarily slide back a step.

Before he could regain his footing, three other four-armed eight-armed tribesmen attacked from three different directions simultaneously, their fists raining down on him from all sides, leaving him no room to dodge.

Lin Ye frowned, his inner energy surged, and the golden armor on his body shone brightly.

But then something unexpected happened.

The fists of the eight-armed tribe slammed into the Gangsha Armor, and with each impact, the armor's luster dimmed a little.

A strange energy invaded along their fists, constantly dissolving and suppressing his original aura!
This feeling... is like ice and snow meeting a branding iron!
As the attacks intensified, Lin Ye even felt that activating the skills [Shadow Scale] or [Crystallization] became incredibly difficult and sluggish.

It was as if an invisible force was suppressing the flow of energy within his body.

Break the law!

These two words immediately popped into Lin Ye's mind.

These eight-armed races actually possess racial characteristics similar to "breaking the law"!
In the instant he was distracted, the six-armed elite attacked again, all six arms clenching into fists simultaneously.

The bright red battle markings on his arm shone brightly, converging into a terrifying force that slammed into Lin Ye's chest!

boom!
The Qi Sha Armor on Lin Ye's body was actually blasted open by this attack, revealing countless cracks!
He was blasted backward by a tremendous force and crashed into the mountain wall behind him, sending rocks flying everywhere!

"Ouch!"

Seeing their leader succeed in his attack, the remaining alien races roared with excitement and were about to swarm forward and tear the human to shreds.

However, just as they were halfway there, a figure slowly emerged from the pit.

Lin Ye patted the dust off his clothes, his face expressionless.

That attack just now did cause his blood to surge, but that was all.

They couldn't even bear to cause him a minor injury.

The test is over.

He raised his head, glanced at the alien races charging towards him, and reached his right hand behind his back.

The black Star Piercing Spear instantly appeared in his hand.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Ye felt a sudden tremor in the center of his dantian, where the solid golden aura the size of a jujube pit trembled, and an extremely pure energy was poured into the spear without reservation!

In an instant, a dazzling golden flame ignited at the tip of the Star Piercing Spear, and its incomparably sharp aura made the temperature of the entire space seem to drop several degrees.

With a thought, Lin Ye quietly activated the [Cleave] skill.

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.

The six-armed, eight-armed elite warrior at the forefront froze in anger, and fear surfaced in his crimson eyes.

It wanted to dodge, it wanted to block.

But it can't do anything.

It could only watch helplessly as a golden streak of light rapidly magnified in its vision, and then... passed right through its body!

puff!

There is no suspense.

The eight-armed elite, with an evolution level of 1.45, didn't even have time to utter a scream before its entire upper body evaporated as if vaporized under the terrifying spear light, disappearing without a trace.

And this is just the beginning.

Golden spear light emanated from his body, his power undiminished!
Following behind the Eight-Armed Clan elite, three or four meters away, was another Stone Ghost Clan elite.

It had just flapped its bat wings when, unfortunately, before it could escape, it was instantly caught up by that golden death ray.

Its entire lower body, along with its enormous wings, was blasted into countless pieces of flesh!
The dissipating golden spear wind transformed into invisible blades, sweeping outwards in all directions!

puff!puff!puff!
Those ordinary Stone Goblin Clan and Eight-Armed Clan members didn't even see what happened. The moment their bodies came into contact with the gun wind, they were torn apart by the sharp energy and exploded into thick clouds of blood mist!
Rumble——! !

Finally, the golden spear light slammed into the distant mountainside with a deafening roar.

The smoke cleared.

On the mountainside, there is a terrifying hole with a diameter of more than five meters and a bottomless depth. The edges are as smooth as a mirror, as if it were instantly melted through by some kind of ultra-high temperature weapon.

Lin Ye slowly retracted his spear, and the golden flames at the spear tip gradually faded.

He glanced at the mangled limbs and flesh scattered on the ground, then looked up at the hole in the distant mountain wall that was still emitting smoke.

Shocked in my heart.
