Achieving physical sainthood begins with the Iron Shirt technique!

The sky outside Duanxian Mountain was completely bright.

The morning mountain breeze couldn't dispel the miasma in the forest, but it made Lu Chen's bare upper body even hotter.

The black metallic patterns that had appeared on his chest from fighting the flying swords of the immortal sect had now completely stabilized. Those patterns were deeply embedded beneath the iron-gray skin, exuding a natural and untamed savagery.

The body's energy and blood are being depleted.

Last night, he first uprooted a 30,000-jin (15,000 kg) Dao stele with his bare hands, and then crushed a group of cultivators to death. The Extreme Dao Furnace squeezed out all the remaining contents in its belly.

My stomach is churning with acid.

Lu Chen squeezed through the narrow gap at the entrance of the hole.

He needs to get some high-grade blood food to replenish his depleted energy and blood.

Lu Chen had only walked a few hundred steps.

The bushes in front were smashed open with extreme force.

A colossal creature covered in thick, rocky scales tumbled and crawled out of the depths of the forest.

This is a genuine second-tier monster, the Rock-Splitter Bear.

This beast should have been living in the central area of ​​Broken Immortal Mountain. But now, it looks like it's running around in a panic.

Deep within Broken Immortal Mountain, some incredibly terrifying demon had clearly awakened. The oppressive aura emanating from it, even from dozens of miles away, terrified the Rock-Splitting Bear, causing it to completely lose its senses and flee directly to the outer perimeter where spiritual energy was scarce.

The massive body of the Rockcutter Bear came to a sudden stop.

Its strong limbs plowed four deep furrows in the muddy ground.

Its bloodshot eyes were fixed on Lu Chen, who was blocking its way.

Second-tier monster.

If this were outside, even a whole team of Qi Refining stage cultivators would never dare to confront it head-on. They would have to keep their distance, form a Four Symbols defensive array, and then use a large number of high-level talismans to slowly whittle down this beast's health.

Lu Chen wasn't buying it at all.

The Rockcutter Bear used its hind legs to propel itself forward, its massive body creating a foul stench as it roared and pounced.

Lu Chen stood still, but instead raised his rough hand, pinched his chin, and twisted his sore neck left and right a couple of times.

The bones and joints made a crisp popping sound.

next second.

The bluestone slab beneath his feet shattered with a crash.

Lu Chen strode forward, not retreating, but instead charging head-on towards the raging giant bear.

The distance of a few feet passed in the blink of an eye.

The Rock-Splitter Bear stood upright, its enormous shadow directly engulfing Lu Chen.

The bear's paw, covered in rocky scales and capable of shattering even a boulder that would take two or three people to encircle, slammed down on Lu Chen's skull with a piercing whistling sound.

At this moment, the extreme qi and blood within Lu Chen's body surged wildly.

The heart pumped blood at an extreme speed.

The muscles in his right arm bulged instantly, and the tendons tightened.

There is no intention to back down.

Lu Chen's right fist tore through the air from bottom to top, producing a muffled sonic boom.

The fist slammed solidly into the center of the bear paw that was crashing down.

Da Yin Xisheng.

Immediately following was a loud "crack".

The sound was so loud that it shook a large number of leaves off the surrounding trees.

The second-tier demon beast's proud, hard palm bones, comparable to a mid-grade magic weapon, were instantly shattered into powder in the face of Lu Chen's unreasonable extreme brute force.

The impact of the shattering bones pushed upwards along the inside of the bear's paw.

Several sharp, white, broken bone spurs changed direction and pierced through its thick, heavy bear skin scales, exposing it to the air, dripping with blood.

"roar--"

The Rockcutter Bear let out an extremely pitiful howl, its massive body losing its balance and uncontrollably retreating backward.

Lu Chen gave it no chance to catch its breath.

He stomped his right foot hard on the ground, and his whole body pressed against it like a shadow.

They climbed directly onto the broad shoulders of the Rockcrack Bear with both hands.

Two thick arms transformed into an iron gate, tightly locking the giant bear's neck, which was as thick as a water vat.

The Rockcrack Bear struggled desperately, its remaining paw flailing wildly.

Lu Chen's eight abdominal muscles contracted simultaneously, and his large tendons exerted force.

Holding the bear's head with both hands, he used his waist to drive his arms and violently twisted it to the side.

A very crisp sound of bones dislocating rang out.

The rock-cracked bear's thick cervical vertebrae were snapped on the spot by this twisting force.

The massive beast's body collapsed with a crash, causing the ground to tremble violently.

Finish work.

Lu Chen didn't even glance at the rock scales next to him that could be exchanged for spirit stones.

He squatted down.

He plunged his hands into the rock-cracked bear's chest cavity and tore off a large chunk of the bear's most vital and warmest flesh.

There are no stoves or pots here, so he doesn't need to light a fire.

Its mouth opened wide.

Lu Chen bit into the bloody raw meat, swallowing it whole without even chewing it properly.

The way of eating in the extreme world is just that wild and primitive.

The raw flesh of the monster fell into his stomach.

At this moment, the ultimate furnace within his body was completely ignited and began to operate wildly.

The raw meat, containing a large amount of mixed demonic energy and frenzied spiritual power, was simply treated as waste in Lu Chen's extremely powerful stomach.

The scalding hot blood and qi force these waste products out of the body.

Lu Chen's iron-gray skin was covered in a large amount of hot, foul-smelling sweat, which was dispersed into the air with the breeze.

The remaining, purest essence of flesh and blood was forcibly stripped away by this domineering force and pressed into the depths of his bone marrow without missing a single drop.

With the replenishment of second-tier high-level blood food.

That violent essence surged back and forth through the eight extraordinary meridians.

A layer of dark red metallic luster slowly emerged on the iron-gray skin covering Lu Chen's body.

The luster shone through his pores, making the black texture appear even deeper.

An extremely fine grinding sound came from inside the bone marrow.

Density has surged again.

They only ate meat, without any meditation or breathing exercises.

Lu Chen's physical strength directly broke through the barrier and stepped into the twelfth level of "Iron Shirt".

Lu Chen stood up.

He didn't exert himself intentionally.

Just to adapt to the new growth force, he stomped his feet very casually.

"Click."

The hard rock beneath his feet, which even flying swords usually struggled to cleave, was instantly cracked into a large, alarming spiderweb-like pattern by his casual stomp.

The sheer weight and pressure of the physical body had reached a level that even cultivators would find inconceivable.

Even if a low-grade magic weapon fell on his feet now, it would probably be crushed and worn down by this invisible pressure.

at the same time.

Several miles away, deep within the cave that was mostly blocked by the 30,000-jin town road stele.

A-Nan was still wrapped tightly in that thick, shaggy wolf skin.

The little blind girl is currently in the deepest sleep.

After enduring the torment of the jade bone reconstruction, she was in a state of extreme exhaustion.

Her little mouth opened slightly, and a muffled murmur escaped from her throat.

This was accompanied by a groggy, sleep-talking sound.

Anan rolled over.

Her pale, slender hand, without a single callus, peeked out from under the wolf skin.

Then, quite unconsciously, he slapped the flat, dry boulder beneath him.

It's just a very ordinary rolling over movement.

"puff."

A very deep sound echoed through the quiet cave.

The boulder's surface offered absolutely no resistance; the small hand had pressed a deep palm print into it.

Stone dust fell down in a flurry.

The area around the handprint deeply embedded in the stone was clean and tidy, without the slightest fluctuation of a cultivator's true essence.

There is only one kind of pure, unreasonable, and brutal crushing.

This is the terrifying, monstrous power that comes with the first appearance of the jade bone.

However, the cost is also extremely obvious.

After pressing it, a hot blush quickly spread across A-Nan's pale little hand.

That's a normal reaction because the meridians of ordinary people are not yet fully adapted to this domineering power.

A feeling of exhaustion washed over me instantly.

The little girl didn't even have the strength to open her eyelids, and she fell into the deepest sleep once again.

After a while...

A sound came from the crevice outside the cave.

Lu Chen squeezed in sideways, carrying a whole strip of torn rock bear hind leg meat on his shoulder.

This was something he had specially left behind, intending to feed it to A-Nan after she woke up.

He placed the bear meat on the ground.

Their eyes immediately caught the changes on the flat boulder.

Looking at the deep handprint with stone dust still scattered around its edges, Lu Chen's expression remained unchanged, but his protective instincts tightened even more.

He treaded lightly, not wanting to disturb the still-sleeping A-Nan.

He turned around.

Lu Chen walked to the cave entrance and picked up the remaining half of the century-old black iron chain that A-Nan had broken yesterday.

"Splash!"

Without uttering a word, he tightly wrapped the heavy half of the iron chain around his left arm, again and again, with an oppressive force.

His right arm was free, ready to strike and kill at any moment; his left arm was wrapped with iron, used to withstand any reckless magical artifacts from the immortal sects.

This is purely a food-guarding instinct.

The chain had just been secured with the lock.

Something strange suddenly happened in the woods outside.

The flock of startled birds, which had been perched on the treetops in the distance, seemed to have sensed something extremely dangerous. They flapped their wings in groups and flew into the sky with screams.

Followed by.

The ground beneath my feet began to tremble slightly.

A dull, rhythmic metallic vibration pierced through the dense miasma forest and traveled along the ground to the outside of the cave.

This commotion definitely wasn't caused by a few scattered cultivators flying on swords.

Lu Chen suddenly turned his head.

Through the narrow gap above the road stele, my gaze was fixed on the distant woods.

The originally dense gray miasma was forcibly torn apart by an extremely savage impact force.

At the end of the line of sight.

Thirty cavalrymen, covered from head to toe in heavy black iron armor, rode massive armored rhinoceroses, forming an impenetrable charging formation.

This heavily armed force completely ignored the rugged terrain surrounding Duanxian Mountain.

They were like a black torrent of steel, crushing all the large trees in their path and even mercilessly trampling the poisonous thorny plants.

This chilling torrent, carrying a terrifying pressure that seemed to shatter the mountains and forests, hurtled straight toward the cave.

Lu Chen's palm, pressed against the black stone stele, bulged with veins.
