Goddess Painting

Qin Feng turned his gaze to the outside of the secret chamber.

"It's time... to test our true fighting strength!"

At the summit of Tian Shu Peak.

A biting wind howled, and the sea of ​​clouds churned.

This place was originally the cultivation site of the Qin family ancestors. Although it has been abandoned for many years, the black stone tablet standing on the edge of the cliff still stands firm.

Force measuring monument!

This stone tablet was made of extremely precious meteorite iron from outer space. It is indestructible and is a spiritual artifact specifically used to test the attack power of martial artists.

It is said that only a powerful expert at the Meridian Opening Realm or above can leave a trace on it with a full-force attack.

Qin Feng stood in front of the stone tablet, his clothes fluttering in the mountain wind.

He took a deep breath, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp, like two drawn swords.

"Before, I was too weak to come for the test, for fear of losing face."

"Now……"

"Let me see just how terrifying the power hidden within this body truly is!"

"Let's try the normal state first!"

Qin Feng did not use any martial arts techniques, nor did he activate any special secret methods.

He simply moved his mind and mobilized the four elements of spiritual power within his body.

hum!

Water, fire, wood, poison!

Four distinct spiritual energies converged instantly in the meridians, and then, under the harmonizing influence of that colorless ball of energy, they perfectly blended together!

A strange, multicolored light instantly appeared on his fist, and a warm, jade-like luster emanated from beneath his skin!

Blessed with jade-like body!

Four elements of spiritual power merged!

"break!!"

Qin Feng let out a low shout and suddenly exerted force with his feet, causing the ground to crack instantly!

He was like a fully drawn bow, unleashing a powerful punch!

simple!

rough!

No frills at all!

boom--!!!

His fist slammed heavily onto the black stone tablet!

For a moment, time seemed to stand still.

Followed by.

A shockwave, visible to the naked eye, spread wildly outwards from the stone tablet!

The surrounding weeds instantly turned to dust!

"Buzzing—!"

The black stone tablet, which had been silent for countless years, suddenly trembled violently and emitted a deep humming sound!

Several complex arrays of light emanated from the surface of the stone tablet, desperately trying to neutralize the terrifying force.

Three full breaths passed.

The tremors gradually subsided.

Then, a line of pale gold characters slowly emerged on the stone tablet, clearly visible:

[Early stage of enlightenment (weak foundation)]

"really!"

Upon seeing these words, Qin Feng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he clenched his fist fiercely!

"My guess was right!"

"Even without using my martial arts trump cards, relying solely on this body and the fusion of spiritual power..."

"My combat power has already surpassed the limits of the Divine Power Realm and touched the threshold of the Enlightenment Realm!"

This is a leap forward!

In the world of cultivation, challenging those of higher levels is the privilege of geniuses.

And beyond that, a higher realm?

That's a monster!

"very good!"

Qin Feng licked his lips, the fighting spirit in his eyes not only not diminishing, but burning even more fiercely:

"Warm-up complete."

"Now... the main course begins!"

He slowly closed his eyes, and the ancient golden book that exuded an aura appeared in his mind—"Eight Desolate Prison Suppression Technique"!

Since obtaining this high-grade Earth-rank martial skill, he has never truly used it at full power!

Because this martial art is too domineering!

It puts too much strain on the body and meridians!

but now……

"I also want to know... exactly where my limits are!"

Qin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils seemingly burning with flames!

"Single-elemental spiritual power drive!"

With a thought, crimson fire-elemental spiritual power instantly flowed into his entire body!

"Eight Desolations - Prison Suppressing Force!!"

boom!

Qin Feng threw a punch, and his entire arm was instantly enveloped in flames, as if it had transformed into a fire dragon!

The force of the punches was so strong that the air itself was scorched and distorted!

"Bang!!"

This punch landed on the stone tablet with twice the force of the previous punch!

The golden light on the stone tablet flashed and disappeared in an instant:

[A single strike at the third level of the Enlightenment Realm!]

"Using only a single elemental spiritual power to drive it, the power is nearly doubled compared to not using martial arts techniques!"

Qin Feng was shocked. Was this the true value of a high-grade Earth-rank martial skill?

"Again!"

"Dual-elemental spiritual energy fusion!"

Water and fire merge!

The two originally opposing forces, after merging and driving the Eight Desolate Prison Suppression Force, actually generated an extremely unstable explosive force within the body!

Qin Feng felt as if his arm was about to explode, and his meridians were throbbing with pain!

"Hold him down!!"

Relying on the powerful defense of his jade body, he forcefully suppressed this backlash!

Boom!!

Another punch!

The power of this punch is twice as strong as the single-system drive from before!

It's four times the power without using martial arts techniques!!

According to the calculations on the stone tablet, it was equivalent to the full-force attack of a martial artist at the sixth level of the Qi Opening Realm!

"So domineering! So terrifying!"

Qin Feng was panting heavily, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

If he hadn't had the Jade Body protecting him, the force of that punch alone would have broken his own arm!

"But I can still hold on!"

A glint of madness flashed in Qin Feng's eyes.

"Then... let's add another series!!"

Wood-type spiritual power added!

Water, fire, wood!

Tri-system circulation!

Ignite the power of the Eight Desolations Prison!

boom--!!!

In that instant, Qin Feng felt as if a miniature nuclear bomb had exploded inside his body!

That terrifying energy raged wildly through the meridians, like a runaway horse, completely out of control!

Click click click!

All the bones in his body were making cracking noises as they couldn't bear the strain!

The muscle fibers were trembling violently, and even traces of blood were seeping from the skin!

This is a sign that your body is about to break down!

"This has exceeded the limits of what I can currently control..."

Qin Feng was horrified.

But he did not back down!

Because the arrow is already on the string, it must be released!

If this power isn't released, keeping it inside will only cause a more devastating explosion!

"Aaaaaahh ...

Qin Feng let out a beast-like roar, his eyes bloodshot, his teeth clenched tightly:

"Get the hell out of here!!!"

He mustered his last ounce of willpower and forcefully guided this world-destroying power, converging it onto his right fist!

A punch was thrown!

Heaven and earth lose color!

Rumble—!!!

This time, not only the stone tablet, but also the cliff beneath their feet, and even the entire Tian Shu Peak trembled violently under this punch!

Countless pebbles tumbled down!

It felt like an earthquake had struck!

The indestructible force-measuring monument shone brightly, as if it were bearing some unimaginable immense pressure!

After a while.

A line of dazzling gold lettering appeared, even larger than before:

[A strike at the peak of the Enlightenment Realm!]

"hiss--!"

Qin Feng stared at the words, then collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his entire body writhing in excruciating pain as if it had been broken apart.

But he was smiling.

He laughed wildly and arrogantly!

"Hahaha……"

"Eight times the power!!"

"Three elements fused, eight times the power! Nearly reaching the peak of the Awakening Realm!!"

"If all four elements were to appear simultaneously..."

Qin Feng glanced at his fist, which was still trembling slightly and even had some cuts and lacerations, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

Reason told him that he couldn't try anymore.

He was risking his life to fuse the three systems.

If all four elements were to appear...

Before he could even unleash his martial arts technique, he'd probably be reduced to a cloud of blood mist by then!

That's suicide!

"but……"

Qin Feng struggled to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes gleamed with confidence:

"That's enough!"

"With this punch that combines three elements..."

"Within the Qingyun Sect, besides the Peak Master and Elders..."

"Who dares to take a punch from me?!"
