“Blood Ignition Pill!”
As an Alchemist, Qin Yao naturally recognized the pill Chen Fan had taken.
True to its name, the pill, once taken, would kindle one's blood, transforming it into a wellspring of energy. Consuming it granted the user the strength of a Qi Grandmaster for a fleeting quarter of an hour. Chen Fan had acquired it from Lin Ba, the spoils of his conquest.
Wang Fuchen laughed mockingly, making no move to intervene. “What good is it now? You’re dying regardless!”
Chen Fan ignored him, as he currently felt like the sun had exploded inside him. A terrifying surge of heat had engulfed him from the inside.
The Blood Ignition Pill transmuted into an intensely fiery torrent, rushing into his dantian before coursing through his limbs and skeleton.
The pill was seemingly roasting his dantian and meridians. He felt like someone was using a blunt but scorching-hot knife to cut thin slices of him.
His skin shone with a reddish glow; he looked like a cooked shrimp. Still, the temperature inside steadily increased; soon, blood seeped out of his pores.
Chen Fan felt like his blood was burning like oil, making him suffer as if he were inside a frying pan.
The potency of the Blood Ignition Pill unfurled entirely within Chen Fan.
The energy released from his blood burning coursed through his meridians. This energy was like a wild horse, galloping freely and aggressively through his limbs and skeleton.
Chen Fan's physique wasn’t strong enough to contain such power.
His meridians fractured inch by inch, and his boiling blood seeped through his pores.
Simultaneously, Chen Fan's aura rose, steadily growing stronger.
Separated by a barrier from the Qi Grandmaster realm, he used the blood energy to obliterate that hurdle.
His primal qi, scorching like flames, erupted from his skull, soaring toward the heavens. His qi pierced through the clouds!
Many had failed to become a Qi Grandmaster in their entire lifetime, but Chen Fan had just crossed that barrier.
And that wasn’t the end.
Early stage, ninth level!
Middle stage, ninth level!
Late stage, ninth level!
Peak stage, ninth level!
His surging aura only plateaued after reaching the peak of the Qi Grandmaster realm.
Chen Fan roared to the skies. The air ahead burst as his roar reverberated through the heavens and the earth.
The agony was mind-numbing.
Every drop of his blood, now broiled into strength, relentlessly propelled the surge in his aura.
As time passed, he sensed that, apart from his blood, his will and consciousness also seemed to be on fire.
Fire blazed in Chen Fan’s eyes, a terrifying sight that resembled a devil emerging from the depths of hell. His blood had ignited, leaving him looking dry and withered like a plant, prompting cries of shock and fear from the onlookers.
“He’s... completely done for!” Zhong Li and his group, aware of the deadly power of the Blood Ignition Pill, watched with glee as they believed Chen Fan was doomed. It demanded the sacrifice of one's entire blood for a fleeting surge of strength, with death as the inevitable outcome. Chen Fan was unquestionably doomed.
Outside Dragon Mountain Blessed Land, Qin Changkong’s eyes turned red when he saw this scene. He unconsciously clenched his hands into fists.
The atmosphere on Dragon Mountain Peak had grown oppressively heavy.
In a shocking turn of events, Chen Fan ingested a Blood Ignition Pill!
Chen Fan stepped forth, rushing toward Wang Fuchen to try to kill him.
His blood would only burn for an incense worth of time. He didn’t have a lot of time, as he would die the second all his blood had combusted.
Why did he take the Blood Ignition Pill?
Standing at the peak stage of the Qi Grandmaster realm, Chen Fan's killing prowess was nothing short of earth-shaking. Even Wang Fuchen, a Yuanfu realm expert, felt his pupils contracting, sensing the imminent danger.
That’s right, he felt danger.
A palpable sense of danger emanated from Chen Fan.
It was ridiculous to say that a Qi Grandmaster could threaten a Yuanfu realm, but that was the truth.
Undefeated King’s Fist reverberated through space, whipping up a storm as the formidable attack hurtled fiercely toward Wang Fuchen.
“Sword Light Shivers Nineteen States!” [1]
Wang Fuchen swung his sword, casting a chilling radiance that pierced through the heavens and the earth. Beneath the sword's glow, images of cities materialized, each falling to a single sword that obliterated nineteen of them, its brilliance extending over a million miles.
A terrifying blast echoed, and a shockwave swept out; the impact’s tremendous force formed fissures on the platform.
Chen Fan struck wildly.
Every punch of his shook heaven and earth as if he were trying to bring down the stars in the sky. After weathering a hundred of Chen Fan's blows, Wang Fuchen's frigid sword light was mercilessly shattered.
“Hundred Mountain Splitting Heavy Sword!” [2]
Wang Fuchen withdrew with an icy gaze, swinging his arm. Instantly, the sky became blanketed with densely packed sword shadows, descending like rain.
Chen Fan ignored all of these and continued moving forward.
His fist blew up everything that blocked his path forward.
The sword slashes shattered and turned into a violent sword aura, sweeping outward and leaving many cracks on the ground.
“How terrifying. Chen Fan actually broke apart two of Wang Fuchen’s sword techniques after his strength skyrocketed. Incredible!”
“Could he really drag Wang Fuchen into hell with the power of the Blood Ignition Pill?”
“Impossible! Yuanfu realm powerhouses can step into the air. Even if Wang Fuchen couldn’t win against him, he could simply avoid him in the air and wait until Chen Fan’s blood is all burnt, leading to his inevitable demise. Wang Fuchen is in an unbeatable position.”
The nearby crowd was shocked by Chen Fan’s fierce punches, smashing through Wang Fuchen’s swift sword techniques.
Although Chen Fan had only become a Qi Grandmaster by borrowing the Blood Ignition Pill’s powers, his current strength was astounding, allowing him to confront a Yuanfu realm powerhouse. It was beyond imagination.
“Fortunately, I’ve already broken through to the Yuanfu realm. I would have died fighting you if I were still a peak Qi Grandmaster.
“And unfortunately for you, although you can fight back against Yuanfu realm powerhouses, you’re definitely no match for me. Moreover, when your blood is fully consumed, your demise is inevitable,” Wang Fuchen said.
He, too, was in great shock at Chen Fan’s current combat strength.
However, Chen Fan didn’t hear a word Wang Fuchen had said. Only a single thought was in his mind—Kill. Kill Wang Fuchen!
Frenzied attacks covered heaven and earth.
Hundred Steps Divine Fist sealed the space. [3]
Each punch carried a force capable of shaking heaven and earth, exuding a resolute and desolate aura of death as they hurtled toward Wang Fuchen.
“Fine, fine. Let me put an end to your suffering. Hatred Asunder Sword Technique, Hatred for Man!”
Wang Fuchen suddenly stopped retreating, swiftly positioning his sword in front of him with a flick of his wrist. An aura saturated with hatred for man, earth, and heaven pervaded the space.
A chilling streak of light cleaved through the air. The spectators barely caught a glimpse of Wang Fuchen's sword slash before the sword was retracted.
A long gash appeared on Chen Fan's chest, but no blood spilled from the wound, as all of his blood had burned.
This wound was very deep, cutting through bone and even slicing open an organ.
However, Chen Fan roared furiously, seemingly unaware of the wound.
“Even if my blood burns out, I will fight to the death! Die!”
1. His cousin Wang Tengfei’s underling Jin Guanglie used this attack before as his strongest move after the auction. Remember, it references a line in one of Gu Long’s novels. ?
2. One of Wang Tengfei’s followers, the lanky youth in the blessed land used this. ?
3. Mentioned in an earlier chapter when fighting Sun Wenshan. It’s the concept where one can attack from a distance away without losing any power. ?
