Achieving physical sainthood begins with the Iron Shirt technique!

The moment Lu Chen lifted the 30,000-jin black stele with a single palm.

His gaze pierced through the thick, blood-red light curtain, hurtling outwards, passing through the dense fog of Broken Immortal Mountain, and plunging hundreds of miles into the perilous heart of the Great Wilderness Swamp.

The rain was torrential, and the mud was knee-deep.

In front of a steep cliff.

Li Laosi and hundreds of poorly clothed escaped miners were forced into a dead end with no way out.

A dozen steps ahead in the swamp, a group of massive, first-tier peak black-scaled crocodiles, their bodies covered in thick bone plates, were swishing their barbed tails and closing in step by step.

Li Laosi's left arm hung limply at his side.

Just now, in order to cover an old miner, his upper arm and tendons were torn apart by the crocodile leader's razor-sharp teeth, and blood gushed down from his fingertips like broken threads.

There was no way to retreat.

The suffocating feeling of being in dire straits gripped everyone's necks.

Just as Li Laosi was about to close his eyes and await death, the cacophony of the torrential rain suddenly disappeared from his ears.

He can't hear anything.

But deep within his very bones and blood, without warning, came an extremely violent tremor!

"Knock knock! Knock knock!"

The sound was dull and heavy, as if an unseen giant was swinging a heavy hammer and frantically pounding an ancient, colossal drum.

That was in the Blood Rock Market, hundreds of miles away, where Lu Chen's heart was pounding wildly as the Thousand-Layer Iron Shirt Extreme Furnace within him was operating at its limit!

The shared energy and blood flow, spanning hundreds of miles, resonated together at this moment!

Li Laosi's eyes, which had been filled with despair and grayness, were instantly turned into a dazzling scarlet by this tremor.

The damaged Extreme Blood Furnace in his chest cavity opened wide in response to this surge of energy!

Dark red blood washed over the broken meridians, forcibly squeezing out a force of unreasonable, ten thousand pounds of blood courage.

Li Laosi did not pick up the chipped butcher knife from the ground.

He charged at the largest crocodile leader, whose jaws were wide open, like a maddened rhinoceros!

It was solely due to the intense heat generated by the blood furnace within his internal organs.

Li Laosi completely ignored the mouthful of sharp, interlocking teeth and directly shoved his rough, large hands between the wide-open jaws of the black-armored crocodile!

The intense heat of the extreme environment scorched his skin and flesh, leaving it charred and smoldering in the torrential rain.

Li Laosi's face was contorted with bulging veins, and he roared in a voice that shattered the rain: "Smash it for me!"

The muscles in both arms were violently torn apart!

"Snap!"

The muffled sound of bones cracking pierced the mud.

The crocodile's snout, which was bigger than a millstone, was torn in two by Li Laosi with the help of his immense blood and strength!

Scalding hot, bloody blood poured down on him like a waterfall.

The remaining dozen or so black-scaled crocodiles were terrified by this terrifying power, which was like a wild and evil spirit descending upon the world. They tumbled and crawled around in the mud, desperately trying to escape into the depths.

The surrounding miners stared intently at the blood-soaked butcher.

Their hearts pounded violently in sync with that rhythm that transcended space.

Without any orders, this swarm of the lowest ants pounced on the crocodile's carcass, gulping down the hot, pungent blood of the strange beast.

An indescribable sense of determination swept through the crowd.

Above the precipice, the first layer of the faintly red Qi and Blood Smoke Array quietly condensed and took shape.

……

The sparks of fire on the edge of the Great Wilderness took firm root. In an instant, the gaze traversed space, reversed and leaped, crashing back to the Blood Rock Market where a bloody storm was raging.

A crimson barrier enveloped the long street.

The Qingxiao envoy in mid-air looked down at Lu Chen, who was committing massacres, and his face twitched violently with anger.

He suddenly pulled his hands out from behind his back, crossed them rapidly in front of his chest, and fiercely pinched out a vicious hand seal.

"Press!"

The inverted crimson light screen that was originally suspended at the edge of the market was violently amplified by the Golden Core Array, emitting an extremely piercing buzzing sound, and shrank back by a full three feet.

The destructive force brought about by extreme contraction instantly crushed nearly half of the lower-level cultivators who were near the edge and trying to escape, turning them, bones and flesh, into a shower of blinding blood.

The vital energy of these unfortunate souls was mercilessly devoured by the barrier.

The atmosphere was brought to a desperate low by the envoy's inhumanly cruel methods.

"Today, I will make sure you die a gruesome death!"

With a wave of his sleeve, the envoy snatched away the compass that was hanging in mid-air.

His wrist swiftly touched the spatial ring on his left side.

A fleeting glimpse of light.

A square seal, its entire body a deep, dark blue-green color, its surface densely engraved with ancient, flowing dragon and demonic characters, flew out in response and hovered steadily on his fingertip.

This is the true treasure of the Azure Sky Sword Sect—the "Azure Sky Suppressing Evil Seal".

The seal had just flown away from that withered palm.

In the blink of an eye.

The inkstone, originally the size of a palm, grew wildly in the wind!

A massive phantom of Mount Tai, over ten zhang in size, appeared directly in mid-air!

On the base of the great seal, the heavy, ancient talismans that had been used to suppress the bodies of ancient demon gods for millennia emitted a blinding, eerie light.

A powerful force, like the collapse of the heavens, at the peak of the Core Formation stage, carrying an irresistible and terrifying pressure, crashed down on Lu Chen's head below.

The great seal had just descended to a height of less than three zhang from the sinking land.

The power of the law suddenly erupted.

The formless and intangible spiritual energy that had been floating in the ruins of the entire long street was completely drained away in half a breath by the extremely domineering and extreme absorption law of the Dharma Seal.

Not even a trace of spiritual energy remained.

This place has become a dead zone, completely rejected by the immortal path.

Those remaining rogue cultivators, who were lying in the mud and water, preparing to touch the talismans and fight for their lives, collapsed to the ground in despair.

The spiritual energy below was completely drained by the magic seal, and the inverted blood-red light curtain used to trap the entire city immediately lost its nourishment and support.

Just then, the bottom cabin of the thirty-foot-long warship hovering above the clouds suddenly lit up.

A massive amount of high-grade spirit stones were thrown into the furnace without any restraint, burning directly to provide energy and forcibly supporting this insurmountable cage of slaughter.

A ten-foot-high Mount Tai pressing down on you.

This terrifying gravity, capable of instantly crushing thousands of mortal bodies into a bloody mess, plummeted down.

Lu Chen, standing in the middle of the long street, showed no intention of retreating.

Is the free spiritual energy depleted?

For him, it was completely irrelevant.

Within his thick chest cavity, the self-contained Iron Shirt Furnace, stimulated by this extreme pressure, burst forth like a raging sun in a stagnant pool.

In that area devoid of spiritual energy, Lu Chen, relying on the extremely pure and powerful primal blood within his body, broke through the blockade from all sides.

Bound to the broad chest by the layer of ghostly wolf skin, the little girl's lips and teeth turned grayish-white from the immense pressure emanating from the giant seal.

It looked like the delicate internal organs were about to be damaged.

Just then, the drop of century-old blood ginseng essence that she had just swallowed and digested was violently stirred by the raging blood and qi from the outside world, and spontaneously protected its master.

A faint yet extremely pure jade-like light emanated from the little girl's body.

The faint light seeped silently into Lu Chen's burning heart through the chest pressed tightly against his.

They share the same lineage and origins, and their pure bloodline is a testament to their filial piety.

Ah Nan's small body actually served as an excellent ballast to stabilize the rampant blood and qi in Lu Chen's body.

The frenzied yang blood instantly became as solid as a rock.

"Crunch...creak!"

Lu Chen's legs, which were as strong as iron pillars, made a harsh, ear-piercing sound, like two rows of steel teeth grinding against each other, under such intense pressure.

His knees were forced down three inches by the pressure.

"Stand up straight!"

Lu Chen's eyes were sunken, and his two rows of white teeth clenched tightly.

The dark blue veins on the outside of his thighs stretched and swelled wildly, like giant pythons bursting open.

He forcefully withstood the immense pressure of Mount Tai and yanked his bent knees back straight.

On his dense skin, which resembled forged from refined iron, intricate dark gold ancient array runes instantly flowed and burst into flames.

The terrifying body heat emanating from it instantly evaporated the foul-smelling rainwater and filth on the surrounding streets into large wisps of white smoke under the combined pressure and frenzy.

Lu Chen suddenly raised his head amidst the clouds and mist.

The whites of his eyes instantly burst into countless tiny blood sparks, and his two pupils turned a deep, almost blackish red.

"roar--"

A beastly roar, powerful enough to shatter the liver of an old demon, exploded from his thick throat without reservation.

His waist, thicker and rounder than a water bucket, was like an old, stiff bow strangled to its limit, carrying a violent and tenacious force that could break anything, as he made a full spin to the right rear!

"Give me a name!"

Using the twisting motion of his waist and stance, Lu Chen's right hand, which was firmly gripping the crack in the stone at the back of the black stele, unleashed immeasurable brute force and suddenly lifted upwards.

The massive boulder that guarded the temple, weighing 30,000 jin and charred black by lightning, was actually pulled up from behind by this brute force!

The massive black rock drew a terrifying arc through the air, sending chills down one's spine.

Accompanied by a deafening roar of thunder, the 30,000-pound behemoth swept across most of the circle behind Lu Chen with the force of a raging torrent.

The gale tore through the air, creating visible white air bursts at the edge of the monument's blade.

This broken stele, once a treasure of the Qingxiao Sect, was transformed into a giant hammer in Lu Chen's hands, capable of overturning heaven and earth. Facing the "Qingxiao Suppressing Evil Seal" that was pressing down from above, it smashed back without any hesitation!
