Chapter 191 - Myriad Elephants Divine Art Eighth Layer

“You...”

On his final breath, fear filled Blood Saber as he gazed at the indifferent Chen Fan.

He never expected such a day to befall him. Three hundred men fell in a brief span, and he, too, couldn't escape death.

“You’ve committed numerous evils. Die!”

Pointing at him, Chen Fan glanced at Blood Saber indifferently, and a streak of primeval force shot out, ending his life.

He took off the storage ring on Blood Saber’s finger, scavenged the stronghold, and released the imprisoned women and slaves.

These people kowtowed repeatedly to Chen Fan in gratitude and thanked him for his deeds. Chen Fan distributed the bank notes in Blood Saber’s storage ring and let them find their way home.

Chen Fan didn't immediately depart from Blood Saber Stronghold. He meticulously examined the contents of Blood Saber's storage ring.

There weren’t many good items, but one thing brought a smile to Chen Fan’s face—Heavenly Lightning Stone Inscription.

About the size of his palm, it was entirely black, adorned with markings of varying depths, resembling those made by a demon beast's sharp claws.

The Heavenly Lightning Stone Inscription contained a trace amount of heavenly lightning. It could heavily injure even someone at the third level of the Yuanfu realm.

Unfortunately for Blood Saber, he couldn’t invoke the power of the Heavenly Lightning Stone Inscription in time and was cut down by Chen Fan at lightning speed.

Of course, given Chen Fan’s current strength, even the Heavenly Lightning Stone Inscription would have failed.

What truly interested him was its heavenly lightning, as it was ideal for tempering his flesh.

Its tempering prowess also explained how Blood Saber survived even after Chen Fan had executed three moves of Nine Swords of Wind Demon.

He must have regularly used its power to temper his flesh, making it tougher than the flesh of ordinary experts of the second level.

“With this Heavenly Lightning Stone Inscription, I should be able to bring the Myriad Elephants Divine Art to the eighth layer!”

Chen Fan looked at the Heavenly Lightning Stone Inscription in his hand. The flickering heavenly lightning within pierced his protective primeval force, inducing a numb sensation in his palm.

His Myriad Elephants Divine Art had been stuck at the peak of the seventh layer for more than three months. With the Heavenly Lightning Stone Inscription, he now saw an opportunity.

While small realm breakthroughs in the Myriad Elephants Divine Art were generally manageable, Chen Fan's physique demanded considerable effort to advance to the next layer after he had reforged it.

Chen Fan promptly assumed a lotus position on the ground, focusing on harnessing the heavenly lightning within the inscription.

Crackle!

Crackles echoed as numerous lightning snakes surged from the stone, converging on its surface and generating electrifying noises.

“Up!”

Chen Fan tossed it up. The Heavenly Lightning Stone Inscription flew above his head and hovered in the air. With a crackle, a thunderbolt descended from it and rushed into him.

Bzzt bzzt bzzt...

Chen Fan trembled as lightning snakes danced on his skin.

Numbness engulfed him as the heavenly lightning's power surged into his flesh, blood, tendons, and bones, refining his physique.

Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!

Despite its size and the mere trace of heavenly lightning, the stone had released a bolt of remarkably strong and fearsome lightning.

As the lightning arcs covered Chen Fan, he began to look like a man-shaped lightning bolt. The power of lightning had covered him from head to toe.

Chen Fan's physique started transforming as the power of the heavenly lightning erupted.

Simultaneously, Chen Fan activated the Myriad Elephants Divine Art, allowing ancient wild elephant runes to flow through his flesh and blood, seamlessly merging with them.

As he channeled his cultivation, his primeval force morphed into ancient wild elephants that growled in unison.

Concurrently, the heavenly lightning continued its work, transforming the ancient wild elephants within him into entities akin to ancient lightning wild elephants.

Their power permeated his bone marrow, gradually enhancing the resilience of Chen Fan's flesh through relentless tempering.

Time elapsed swiftly, and in a mere four hours, a pivotal moment arrived.

Boom tch!

The last wisp of heavenly lightning in the stone inscription, lingering above Chen Fan's head, descended and merged with him.

Devoid of heavenly lightning, the stone inscription shattered instantly, disintegrating into ash and dispersing into the air.

Boom!

Chen Fan’s aura instantly rose explosively. A faint golden light emanated from him.

If one were to look closely at his flesh and blood, they would see the ancient wild elephants within, growling in unison.

It was as if his cells had turned into miniature ancient wild elephants.

Finally, Chen Fan had advanced to the eighth layer. Opening his eyes, he sensed the infinite power surging deep inside him.

“The eighth layer... Now, I should be able to fight against second-level Yuanfu experts relying purely on physical strength!”

A brilliant light shone in Chen Fan’s eyes.

“With my physique’s toughness improved, my chances of cultivating the second illusory primeval vessel have also greatly increased...”

Chen Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his smile broadening. He closed his eyes again and started cultivating the Nine Illusory Primeval Vessel Secret Art.

Upon becoming a first-level Yuanfu realm expert, he had seamlessly continued by cultivating his first illusory primeval vessel.

Now, with the added strength from his Myriad Elephants Divine Art breakthrough, cultivating a second illusory primeval vessel posed little challenge.

Leveraging his prior experience, Chen Fan efficiently advanced, completing the cultivation of the second illusory primeval vessel in a mere two hours.

Positioned on either side of the original, the two illusory vessels were interconnected, and they made the original primeval vessel shine brighter.

Phew!

With a faint smile, Chen Fan rose, exhaling turbid qi.

He circulated his qi and planted his feet firmly on the ground. The original and illusory primeval vessels boomed and drummed, and waves of power flowed like a torrent inside him.

Rumble!

𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

As Chen Fan threw a punch, the air at the tip of his fist resonated with a booming sound, creating a white ring of air current. Subsequently, the air surged like rolling waves.

The tremendous force from his fist, resembling a cannonball, decimated the entire Blood Saber Stronghold, reducing it to ruins.

“Nice!”

Chen Fan nodded slightly, satisfied with the results.

Although his cultivation level was still at the second level of the Yuanfu realm, his strength had instantly skyrocketed with his physique breakthrough and forming his second illusory primeval vessel.

Now, he wasn’t afraid of facing a fourth-level Yuanfu expert head-on.

If he encountered Chu Tiange again, he wouldn’t feel the slightest pressure!
