Achieving physical sainthood begins with the Iron Shirt technique!

Just as the strange energy was about to completely detach from his skin and flesh, the rotten flesh on the back of Lu Chen's hand suddenly exploded.

Lu Chen completely ignored the spurting blood from the split opening of his right hand. He exerted force, forcefully turning his bleeding hand over, ignoring the wisp of azure Core Formation Qi that had once again pierced deep into the bone. His large palm continued to press firmly against the outside of the Xuan Iron Great Pill Furnace.

At the very center of his chest, the massive, ultimate blood furnace, constructed from a thousand layers of "Iron Shirt," emitted continuous, muffled booms. Pure Yang Qi and blood surged wildly downwards along the meridians of his thick upper arm, releasing a torrent of heat through his palm.

The black iron furnace, which was snatched from the elites of the Azure Sky Sword Sect, had its bottom iron sheet rapidly turn a dazzling crimson red.

Extremely high temperatures forcefully penetrated the thick furnace walls and poured directly into the interior. The three old herbs poured out of the Extreme Northern Frost Jade Box, along with the large chunk of flesh and bone from the spine of a peak second-tier demon beast, couldn't even withstand the unreasonable boiling of the living Yang Fire for half a quarter of an hour.

The thick demon flesh quickly crumbled and collapsed, carrying the unique, green sap of the spiritual herbs, and churned violently in the deepest part of the red-hot furnace.

The spiritual energy containing the immortal cultivation laws within the celestial herb was stimulated and began to run wildly in all directions.

Several wisps of bluish-white spiritual energy surged and thrashed within the furnace, crashing against the black iron furnace walls with loud clanging sounds, desperately trying to break through the iron lid and escape outside.

Cultivators who refine elixirs emphasize slow, gentle simmering over a low flame, carefully guiding spiritual energy with incantations. Who would dare to be so impulsive as to use brute force to burn it?

Lu Chen didn't bother with any fire control techniques.

His rugged face was full of impatience and irritability.

His right arm bulged upwards, and his thick left hand rose into the air before slamming down viciously on the violently beating lid of the large iron furnace.

The immense force of 100,000 jin slammed into the roof without any mercy.

With a loud "boom," the entire alchemy furnace was pressed into the thick stone slab below the ground by the force, sinking a full two inches deep.

The chaotic and violent spiritual energy of the laws within the furnace was instantly smashed to pieces by the sheer force of gravity, completely crushed by this brute force and forced back to the bottom of the scorching furnace. The lofty and supreme laws of the cultivation world couldn't even peek out before such absolute power.

Pure Yang Qi and blood continuously poured into it.

A full half hour passed.

The churning and commotion inside the Xuan Tie Great Alchemy Furnace finally ceased completely.

Lu Chen yanked open the iron roof that had been crushed and deformed.

There was no trace of the auspicious glow or radiant energy that appeared when a cultivator completed their elixir at the bottom of the furnace. The hundred-pound piece of second-tier demon flesh and several top-grade spiritual herbs had long since been boiled into a large pool of reddish-brown, viscous ointment.

This lump of ointment looked extremely unappetizing, with a large plume of scalding white smoke rising from it.

As soon as the cap was opened, an extremely powerful, overwhelming, and vibrant fragrance burst forth from the depths of the ointment, drilling straight into the person's internal organs. The aroma of this powerful medicine was incredibly strong.

If an ordinary person eats even a small bite of this thing, the mixed and powerful demonic energy inside will cause their blood vessels to burst.

Without hesitation, Lu Chen inserted his large left hand directly into the center of the ointment, which was emitting white smoke and was extremely hot.

The scalding mucus completely enveloped his dark skin.

The innate talent of the Ancient Forbidden Body was fully activated at this moment. The extremely domineering and exclusive Great Body Furnace System frantically ground and sucked through the gaps between his wide fingers.

The proud and mixed spiritual energy belonging to the immortals in the ointment, as well as the violent poison left by the second-tier demon beast, were all forcibly drawn into Lu Chen's body.

The moment the deadly toxin rushed into the massive tendon, it was instantly ground up and burned away by the thousand layers of pure yang blood, leaving not even a trace. He single-handedly withstood all the potentially fatal backlash from the great medicine with his bare flesh.

Once the great filtration was over, Lu Chen withdrew his giant iron palm.

The tip of his thumb, as thick as two fingers of an average person, picked out the most essential part from the ointment.

Three drops of pure, dark red medicinal blood essence hung on his fingertips, radiating a pure and vast warm vitality.

Lu Chen turned around.

The large black iron boots stepped onto the flat, dry stone slab.

He bent down his thick, old back and carefully pinched Ah Nan's pale chin with his two thick fingers of his right hand, slowly prying open her tightly closed mouth.

With a slight tilt of his rough, large finger, the three drops of forcibly purified and filtered medicinal essence dripped steadily into the deepest part of the little girl's tongue.

This is the core essence of a century-old medicine and a second-tier overlord-level demon beast.

The three drops of essence had just slid down my throat and into my stomach.

The drug's effects exploded directly in A-Nan's thin, withered body.

The little girl suddenly experienced an astonishingly high fever, and large drops of cold sweat instantly appeared on her forehead.

Beneath her thin, rough skin, red veins stood out clearly, darting and leaping all over her body.

This is the excruciating pain of flesh and blood tearing that mortals must endure when forcibly transforming and metamorphosing.

Anan was in so much pain that her whole body curled up into a ball. Her two icy little hands gripped the edge of Lu Chen's tattered clothes tightly, and her knuckles were a frightening grayish-white from the excessive force.

The little girl bit her lower lip hard with her two rows of fine teeth, drawing a lot of blood, but she managed to keep all her screams and cries stuck in her throat, remaining silent.

Lu Chen's thick eyebrows furrowed as he watched the little girl desperately trying to endure the pain.

Without saying a word, he immediately went around to the back of the large stone slab.

The massive, thick, black hand reached forward and firmly pressed down on A-Nan's thin back.

The thousands of extreme qi and blood within his body, which he usually used to kill people and smash monuments, and to be extremely violent, were forcibly transformed into all wild power at this moment.

This powerful force transformed into a thick, soft, warm layer, seeping continuously into the depths of the little girl's delicate internal organs through her large palm. This warm blood perfectly protected her wildly beating heart.

With the support of the ultimate Qi and blood, the medicinal power of the great medicine forcefully penetrated into all the fine crevices of Anan's bones.

It took the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to finish.

The large, throbbing red veins on A-Nan's skin finally subsided.

The severe spasms throughout the body caused by the intense pain also completely stopped.

The little girl's slim figure has completely relaxed.

A layer of warm, translucent, faint luster emanated from within her newly reconstructed skeleton, covering a large area of ​​her skin.

This extremely pure jade-like glimmer of light emanated a bright halo at the very bottom of this desolate cave where the sun never shines, illuminating the darkness within a radius of several feet.

Anan has completed a physical transformation and has fully entered the first stage of the Jade Bone Realm.

The significant improvement in her physical condition brought about a comprehensive boost, directly impacting her brain.

Two lines of foul-smelling, blackened, and gruesome blood oozed out unexpectedly from around the eye sockets of A-Nan's blind eyes, which had been tightly closed for many years.

The little girl slowly opened her eyes.

Although the two eyeballs were still covered by a thick, cloudy white membrane, thanks to the miraculous effect of the spiritual eye restoration after the jade bone was fully formed, Anan did not need to use her real eyes to see the scene.

She raised her head precisely, her small face directly facing Lu Chen's badly damaged right hand.

Her spiritual eyes had already fully perceived it.

Deep within the tiger's mouth and joints of Lu Chen's right upper arm, a wisp of malevolent, azure-colored aura from a Core Formation cultivator was rampaging and tearing at the normal meridians within his flesh.

"Heavy, this nasty energy is still biting you."

A-Nan called out softly, and stretched out her small hand, which already had a jade-like luster.

Her five fingers found the exact spot and gently covered Lu Chen's mangled and mangled tiger's mouth, where the flesh was rolled outwards.

The light from the jade bone in his palm instantly poured down, seeping directly into the bottom of Lu Chen's bloody wound and crack.

The perfect suppression of bloodlines of the same origin.

The jade light precisely enveloped that small wisp of cyan law-based strange energy that was still putting up a stubborn resistance.

Without any strenuous pulling, Yu Guang directly uprooted the strange energy from the very bottom of the large flesh.

The moment the green mist separated from flesh and bone, it instantly turned into a cloud of scattered ashes in the air.

The intense mental turmoil that had plagued Lu Chen's heart meridian for so long was completely calmed and smoothed out as the strange energy was removed.

The biggest hidden danger to the physical body has been eliminated.

The great blood furnace in Lu Chen's chest cavity was no longer subject to any major obstacles of the laws.

The extremely terrifying thousand layers of "Iron Shirt" and its ultimate self-healing power ushered in a thoroughly exhilarating purge!

The immense, pure Yang energy of the flesh and blood erupted like a dormant volcano erupting on the spot, roaring loudly within the meridian network of the injured right upper arm!

"Crunch! Crunch!"

The crisp, loud, and dense sounds of extensive bone and flesh repair erupted, creating a series of explosions within the large cavern.

From the deep, bone-revealing gash on the back of the hand, countless thick, strong new buds of flesh were frantically sprouting out, intertwining and patching each other. The necrotic, peeling, and rotten black skin that had been detached all fell to the ground with a rustling sound.

A brand new, thick layer of skin quickly grew back. This layer of skin had a heavy, oppressive black iron base color, and also shone with a dark, ancient gold luster that was hard to look directly at.

The broken, misaligned, thick, hard tendons re-entangled along the hand bones, becoming even stronger and thicker.

Lu Chen suddenly clenched his fists tightly inward.

The force of the punch was tremendous.

The peak combat power, which had been under immense pressure, returned to its fullest state at this moment.

The physical body has undergone a major recovery and cleansing process, which has now completed its final cycle.

Lu Chen's palms were still flat on either side of the large Xuan Iron alchemy furnace.

This alchemy session greatly depleted his pure Yang Qi and blood, and coupled with the significant recovery and repair of his recent injuries, the Yang Qi and blood released throughout his body needed to undergo a complete cycle of circulation and return.

The Qi flows through the heavens.

He was completely enveloped in a state of immobility, his body utterly frozen. All the pores on his body were open, but in these crucial few dozen breaths of constricted qi and blood, he was trapped in an extremely deadly blind spot.

He couldn't lift his hands or kick his legs, and for the time being, he was completely unable to make any rash moves to defend against the enemy.

At the very edge of the cave, in the deepest part of a dark, swampy mud pit, more than ten feet away from the miners' settlement.

Beneath a pile of rotten, poisonous leaves, a pair of old eyes, their whites yellowed and bloodshot with resentment, suddenly opened wide in the deep darkness.

His old eyes were fixed on the central area at the bottom of the cave, where a burst of vibrant, jade-like light was emanating from.

He seized his best opportunity by relying on the Xuanni City Lord, who sneaked into the Great Wilderness through the mud.

The Lord of Xuanni City was still half-buried in the stinking mud pit.

He saw the small spirit body radiating a faint glow from its jade-like bones, and he also clearly saw the large, monstrous bone cultivator who had previously terrified him, now in a state of complete inability to move or unleash its power—a vacuum period.

The old man stretched out his withered and shriveled left index finger from the stinking mud.

At the very tip of the index fingernail, a sharp, thorny magical artifact radiating an extremely sinister green light was firmly attached—the "Curse-Killing Finger".

The Lord of Xuanni City aimed the highly poisonous, sharp blade at Lu Chen's wide, unguarded carotid artery. His withered fingers gripped the weapon tightly, his finger muscles clenching wildly, preparing to strike the most lethal blow while Lu Chen was in a blind spot during his cultivation!
