High-level martial arts: Long spear with black flames to suppress demons.

Shen Chang'an fell into deep thought. Simply relying on willpower to stir things up would limit the scope of what could be accomplished.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the high sky above the Spirit Sea World.

"Yes, fire can make water boil."

With a thought, countless black flames began to sink, finally crashing into the calm golden spiritual sea below!

Under the frenzied burning of the black flame source, the seven-hundred-mile-long golden ocean instantly surged with towering waves hundreds of feet high!

The entire surface of the spiritual sea was completely boiling!

He suddenly opened his eyes.

A terrifying spiritual pressure far exceeding that of an ordinary fifth realm cultivator erupted from his body!

"Palm Thunder!"

He didn't form any hand seals at all; he simply raised his right hand and slapped the black stone mountain, which was a hundred meters high, in front of him. The moment the spiritual energy surged out, the talisman was formed and perfectly transformed, with almost no time difference.

"Boom!!!"

This was not a bolt of lightning, but a vast ocean of lightning that seemed to be in reality, which instantly surged out from his palm!

That hundred-meter-high solid rock mountain was vaporized before the shattered rocks even had a chance to fly!

Looking at the huge, charred pit in front of me, which was tens of meters deep.

Ling Shan Dao Ren stood aside, watching Shen Chang'an still trying, and couldn't help but smile, nodding in satisfaction.

"This child's temperament and understanding are truly exceptional."

"It's a pity that he was probably left to his own devices in the outside world before, and never encountered a truly knowledgeable expert to guide him. He had an extraordinary talent, but he couldn't develop it. But now... it's not too late."

Shen Chang'an felt the completely boiling spiritual sea within his body, and he was plunged into an unprecedented state of extreme excitement!

too strong!

The explosive power made him want to roar to the sky. Because the spiritual pressure inside his body was too high, it had exceeded the limit that his meridians could currently lock. Wisps of golden spiritual energy, visible to the naked eye, were uncontrollably overflowing from his body, like burning, materialized flames.

But this level of spiritual energy leakage is like a few drops of water evaporating from the ocean; it's not even a drop in the ocean.

Moreover, this doesn't seem to be the limit.

As the origin of the Annihilation Black Flame continued to intertwine and collide with the golden spiritual sea, the spiritual sea boiled more and more violently.

Shen Chang'an closed his eyes and sensed that about 50% of the entire spiritual sea was currently in this violent boiling state.

Under the surge of terrifying spiritual pressure, his hair floated upwards as if defying gravity, and the surrounding space was even slightly distorted by this violent energy.

"Try this one!"

Shen Chang'an raised his hand and pointed his fingers like a sword, pouring his boiling spiritual power into the Golden Light Spell without reservation. The golden light, originally intended for defense, instantly transformed into a dazzling golden sword beam a hundred feet long, which he fiercely cleaved down towards the distant wasteland!

"BOOM—!!!"

The earth trembled violently, and dirt flew everywhere!

This strike actually cleaved a terrifying ravine several miles long into the hard, dark wasteland of the abyss! The cut was as smooth as a mirror, and still retained a chilling, sharp golden light!

Not only did the power of his spells increase dramatically, but under the surge of this boiling spiritual energy, Shen Chang'an felt that his physical potential had also been completely activated.

He took a step forward, using the shrinking-the-ground technique he had just learned from the old Taoist priest. He vanished from his spot in an instant, so fast that it was completely invisible to the naked eye, leaving not even a afterimage.

For the next three hours, Shen Chang'an went completely wild, and the monsters in this area met their doom.

He transformed into a scythe that reaped lives, frantically weaving through the horde of monsters.

Those fifth-realm demons, who would normally give a small squad of the Night Town Guard a hard time in the outside world, were now as easy as picking fruit from a baby in front of him, unable to withstand even a single move. Before the golden light and thunder magic, they were all torn apart like paper!

Three hours later.

"call......"

Shen Chang'an finally stopped his killing spree. With a thought, he withdrew the black flames and slowly calmed the boiling state of his spiritual sea.

"hiss"

As soon as the state subsided, an extremely intense soreness and tearing pain instantly swept through his muscles and meridians. He swayed, barely managing to stay upright by using his spear to support himself on the ground.

Clearly, although his spiritual energy reserves were more than enough, the intense output of spiritual energy was putting too much pressure on his physical body. Even after undergoing a body tempering process, three hours of continuous high-intensity operation had reached its limit.

A gentle breeze swept through mid-air, and the Taoist of Lingshan gracefully descended.

The old Taoist priest looked at the mountain of demonic corpses piled on the ground, then at Shen Chang'an, who was covered in sweat, and immediately saw through his weakness: "What's wrong? Are you exhausted? This boiling state puts a huge strain on your body. After you undergo Du Qiongyu's second or even third body tempering, your body will be strong enough that you can maintain this state for longer, but you still need to be careful about the duration."

Shen Chang'an nodded, panting, "Okay, I'll be careful."

"Oh, right."

"Just now... how much did you make the spiritual sea boil?"

Shen Chang'an answered honestly, "About fifty percent."

"..."

The Taoist Lingshan's hand, which was stroking his beard, suddenly froze, and he accidentally plucked a white hair from his beard. He had originally thought that Shen Chang'an's spiritual sea was already at a boiling point of seventy or eighty percent, but he didn't expect it to be only fifty percent.

"Ahem... Fifty percent, huh? Hmm, not bad."

The old Taoist priest cleared his throat, trying to appear calm, then his expression turned serious: "Remember this, never attempt to reach 100% total boiling before your physical body has reached an absolutely perfect state!"

"The full-scale riot of the seven hundred-mile spiritual sea, that destructive power, will instantly burst your internal organs and body apart. Even a god couldn't save you. Do you understand?!"

Seeing the old Taoist's unprecedentedly serious expression, Shen Chang'an felt a chill and nodded earnestly: "Don't worry, senior, I'll remember this and I won't do anything reckless."

"Okay, go ahead, go sit down and meditate to regulate your breathing, and digest the insights you gained from the battle just now."

"Yes."

Shen Chang'an dragged his aching body to a huge rock in the distance and sat down cross-legged.

Lingshan Daoist stood still, watching Shen Chang'an's retreating figure.

"Fifty percent...cleaving several miles in half, killing sixth-realm beings like slaughtering dogs from the fifth realm..."

"Just how monstrous is this little thing? Even when I was known as invincible among those of the same level, could I possibly defeat him in this state?"

The old Taoist priest was now unsure of what to do.

"It's only seven hundred miles away, and it's already this terrifying..."

"If that crazy woman Du Qiongyu could really use the Body Tempering Technique to push this kid's aptitude to its limit... and make him reach the legendary perfect state of a thousand-mile spiritual sea..."

"When he's at his absolute peak, how incredibly powerful must he be?"

Thinking about it, I felt a little scared, but I quickly shook my head.

"He's standing on the shoulders of giants, that doesn't count. If I had had so many big shots guiding me back then, I might not be as good as him. That's right, that must be it..."
