Chapter 784: Chapter 784: Eight Gates of Universe_1
Blood painted the ground and walls red, with corpses everywhere: the Demon Palace’s, the War God Squad’s, and even the Gongsun Family’s. The scene was strewn with bodies, the pungent stench of blood permeating the entire Gongsun Residence.
As for Ye Luo, after absorbing all the demonic energy, he successfully unblocked the seventh meridian of the nine deadly meridians.
Suddenly, a booming sound echoed from his body, and the Nine Yang Mystic Art within Ye Luo seized the opportunity to break through to the Fifth Level—an immense and terrifying might spread forth.
This might was no less than that unleashed by a Fourth Level Saint Realm expert, and could even suppress it. At this moment, the golden blood in Ye Luo’s body started to boil.
More and more blood transformed from red to gold, emanating an imperial majesty. In that instant, Ye Luo seemed like a lofty emperor, looking down upon all beings, inducing an impulse to kneel in submission.
"Such an immense might, and yet not even in the Innate Realm. This guy is truly defying heaven!"
War Wolf, standing to the side, couldn’t help but sigh, his eyes shimmering with astonishment as he gazed upon Ye Luo.
Whoosh!
Ye Luo’s eyes snapped open, a glint of sharpness flashed by, and his whole demeanor had transformed. He rose to his feet.
Now, Ye Luo only felt his body filled with surging power; the unblocking of the Seventh Meridian of the Nine Yang had caused his strength to surge, and the breakthrough to the Fifth Level of the Nine Yang Mystic Art made the True Qi within him circulate even faster.
As the Nine Yang Mystic Art activated, the True Qi surged like a breached dike, emanating a powerful aura.
Moreover, following the breakthrough to the Fifth Level of the Nine Yang Mystic Art, Ye Luo felt a deeper understanding of Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens and Fiery Flame Divine Fist, seemingly mastering these two martial arts at a deeper level.
But what made Ye Luo most ecstatic was the breakthrough in the Nine Yang Mystic Art, which also added a new set of martial arts techniques to his mind.
Eight Gates of Universe!
This was precisely the martial technique that manifested in Ye Luo’s mind as he broke through to the Fifth Level of the Nine Yang Mystic Art, a cultivation technique aimed at enhancing one’s own strength.
The Eight Gates of Universe consisted of Rest, Life, Injury, Block, Scene, Death, Shock, and Open. With each gate opened, one’s strength would double, essentially unleashing one’s latent potential.
With all eight gates open, one could harness the power of heaven and earth!
However, according to the description of the Eight Gates of Universe, the most vital aspect of cultivating this technique is possessing a robust physical body. Without a resilient and sturdy physique, the act of deploying the Eight Gates of Universe would only result in self-destruction from the body exploding.
After all, once the power within the body increases explosively, if the physique is not sufficiently robust, it is impossible to withstand such vast strength, and the inevitable result would be self-termination.
Therefore, to cultivate the Eight Gates of Universe, one must first refine the body, making one’s physique robust enough to successfully deploy the Eight Gates of Universe.
Based on the descriptions, Ye Luo estimated that with his current physique, he could at most open one gate, and more would be unbearable.
Ye Luo’s body, which had been tempered by the Earth Fire, had become stronger than before, but he could only open one gate. This indicates how formidable a body is required to fully unlock the Eight Gates of Universe—an idea Ye Luo found unimaginable!
Regardless, the Eight Gates of Universe held great utility for him at present.
With his current strength, plus the Eight Gates of Universe, he could easily contend with a Fourth Level Saint Realm master, even without the Lingyun Sword, and if he wielded the Lingyun Sword, taking down a Fifth Level Saint Realm master would be sufficient.
This time his strength had seen a tremendous breakthrough, with numerous gains; not only had his own power broken through, the Lingyun Sword had also been unsealed, becoming an exquisite King’s Tool, and he had obtained an incredibly fearsome Earth Fire and a powerful martial cultivation technique.
Now it seems that the Nine Yang Mystic Art is truly not an ordinary cultivation technique, for with each breakthrough comes a powerful martial arts move; previously after breaking through the fourth level, I acquired the Fiery Flame Divine Fist and Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens.
And now it’s Eight Gates of Universe, each of which would be highly coveted and fought over by everyone if put out there. Yet now, I’ve obtained them simply because I’ve made a breakthrough in the art; it seems the Nine Yang Mystic Art is certainly not simple.
Putting these matters aside for the moment, Ye Luo turned his gaze to War God and Feng Tian.
"Senior War God, Feng Tian, where’s Senior Army Knife?"
"Oh, he’s gone after those from the Demon Palace. How about you? Are you alright?" War God’s gaze shifted towards Ye Luo.
"I’m fine, but this time, I owe you big time for stepping in. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would have lost my life here."
Ye Luo said with a smile.
"Our team, the War Gods, is dedicated to defending Huaxia, and the Demon Palace is a force of the Demonic Path, so we have the responsibility and duty to confront them. However, I didn’t expect them to be knowledgeable in such a powerful formation."
"Had it not been for you, we might not only have failed to save you, but we would also have likely ended up perishing here. But, lad, you’ve really made me see you in a new light. That massive and terrifying demonic qi, you actually managed to absorb it all."
War God looked at Ye Luo, his eyes filled with admiration and praise.
"It was just a fluke," Ye Luo chuckled.
"But with your current strength, you should have broken through to the Saint Realm by now. Why are you still in the Innate Realm, yet your aura is stronger than that of an average Saint Realm expert?"
War God looked at Ye Luo with a puzzled expression, clearly not understanding the Nine Yang Physique, or perhaps not knowing that he was the one with the Nine Yang Physique.
"That’s because of my cultivation technique. It’s a long story that I can’t explain right now, but I must go save my woman first."
Ye Luo said, his body swiftly leaving the place, heading towards the Gongsun Family’s backyard where he knew Qin Yuru was held captive.
"This kid is really a genuine freak of nature!" War God exclaimed.
"He’s not a freak, but a monstrous talent that will soon shake the Hidden Sects of Huaxia!"
Feng Tian narrowed his eyes and spoke calmly, as if he could already see the scene where Ye Luo would shock all the Hidden Sects.
At this moment, his heart surged with excitement, a sense of thrill, and an impulsive feeling as the blood that had been calm for so long in his body began to boil.
Boom!
Suddenly, Feng Tian’s body erupted with a strong aura, and nature’s spiritual energy rushed into his body. Immediately, his strength broke through from the first level of the Hua Yuan Realm to the second level of the Hua Yuan Realm.
"Damn, another freak!"
Seeing Feng Tian break through so casually, War God couldn’t help but let out an expletive. Ye Luo was already abnormal enough, but now even those around him were freaks.
Upon reaching a room in the backyard of the Gongsun Family, Ye Luo kicked open the door and rushed in, where he saw Qin Yuru’s hands bound with two enormous iron chains on either side.
