Eternal Reverence

Chapter 692: Atmosphere

The White Bone Devil Emperor didn’t believe that the Flying Corpse Emperor wasn’t interested in a body refinement emperor.

As long as the Flying Corpse Emperor was interested, it would be time for Li Fuchen to die.

“White Bone Devil Emperor, why are you at my Flying Corpse Mountain?” It was a voice that sounded frictional like two pieces of metal grinding against each other.

The White Bone Devil Emperor’s heart was beating slightly faster as he said, “Flying Corpse Emperor, I have a great opportunity to give you.”

“Opportunity! What opportunity?! Do I need you to give me opportunities?! If you are here just to bootlick me, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” The Flying Corpse Emperor spoke with an unfriendly tone.

The White Bone Devil Emperor said, “I wonder if you are interested in a body refinement emperor?”

“Hmph, which body refinement emperor doesn’t have a powerful backer in the Heaven Pillar Continent. If they didn’t have any backer, I would have sucked their blood dry.” The Flying Corpse Emperor’s voice was getting increasingly fearsome and seemingly impatient.

The White Bone Devil Emperor continued, “This body refinement emperor doesn’t have any backer, as he isn’t from the Heaven Pillar Continent.”

“What?” There was a flash of stench, as an imposing figure with dark green color appeared in front of the White Bone Devil Emperor.

“If you deceive me, I will kill you.” The Flying Corpse Emperor looked at the White Bone Devil Emperor intently.

The White Bone Devil Emperor cupped his fist and replied, “I wouldn’t dare to deceive you.”

“Alright, bring me there. Once the deed is done, I will owe you a favor.” The Flying Corpse Emperor couldn’t wait.

If he absorbed the blood of a body refinement emperor, he might be able to become a great emperor. By then, no one in the entire Heaven Pillar Continent would be able to deal with him.

The White Bone Devil Emperor responded, “Just a favor? I am taking too much of a loss like that”

The White Bone Devil Emperor might have fulfilled his wish to eliminate Li Fuchen, but he wouldn’t give the Flying Corpse Emperor a benefit for nothing.

“Then what do you want?”

“500,000 high-grade spirit stones and you have to pay 200,000 first.”

“You are insane, do you want me to give you my entire wealth?”

The White Bone Devil Emperor said indifferently, “Is 500,000 high-grade spirit stones a lot? A body refinement emperor might be able to let you become a great emperor. By then, millions of high-grade spirit stones would mean nothing to you.”

After a long consideration, the Flying Corpse Emperor nodded. “500,000 high-grade spirit stones it is.”

As compared to a body refinement emperor, 500,000 high-grade spirit stones was nothing indeed. Let alone 500,000 high-grade spirit stones, even if it was 5 million high-grade spirit stones, he would do his best to gather enough.

...

Without putting all hopes on the purchase of herbs, Li Fuchen was focusing most of his attention on the Hand of God.

The Hand of God had a total of seven stages.

First stage, Hand of Blood. Second stage, Hand of Force.

The first two stages were equivalent to heaven class mid-tier body refinement arts.

Third stage, Hand of Star. Fourth stage, Hand of Moon. Fifth stage, Hand of Sun

These three stages were equivalent to heaven class high-tier body refinement arts.

Sixth stage, Hand of Calamity was equivalent to heaven class peak-tier body refinement arts.

Seventh stage, Hand of God was already beyond heaven class martial arts and reached a whole new class.

Currently, Li Fuchen was at the peak state of Hand of Force and was just one step away from reaching the Hand of Star.

Once Li Fuchen achieved the Hand of Star, his strength wouldn’t just be increased by ten times, it would be at least dozens of times.

After all, the Hand of God was a body refinement methodology and it consisted of body refinement technique and body refinement arts.

It was unfortunate that the Hand of Star was much harder than Li Fuchen imagined.

He had a feeling he was still lacking something.

Perhaps, it was because he couldn’t observe the revolution of stars from a close proximity and wasn’t able to understand and feel the massive prowess from the stars.

It was the same as to comprehend the sword dao law, but if you didn’t even touch a sword or know what a sword was, how would you be able to comprehend the sword dao law? It was useless even if you had the best perception.

“In order to achieve Hand of Star, I need a fated opportunity.”

Li Fuchen looked up to the sky and suddenly rushed up into the sky.

The sky was very high and much higher than Li Fuchen’s imagination.

100 thousand meters, 500 thousand meters, 1 million meters.

Strong winds howled and blew through like blades.

In this high altitude region, regular monarchs wouldn’t be able to survive.

Because the wind here was concentrated wind dao energy and there was some metal thread-like radiance. If Li Fuchen didn’t guess it wrongly, the concentration of wind dao energy essence wasn’t inferior to Law Phase Realm emperor’s qi.

The wind dao energy in the high altitudes might be extremely concentrated, but it was too violent. As such, it wasn’t suitable for martial artists to absorb and refine.

Two million meters, five million meters.

Tss Tss Tss Tss Tss Tss...

It felt as though countless void blades were slicking over and it was causing Li Fuchen’s Sky Ring Sword Armor to vibrate violently.

50% of the wind here was wind dao energy essence and Li Fuchen felt rather strenuous here.

Eight millions meters, 10 million meters...

Pfff!

On the Sky Ring Sword Armor, there was a crack and a strand of the wind dao energy essence turned into a thin blade and sliced on Li Fuchen.

It was fortunate that Li Fuchen was covered with an invisible layer of membrane. It was the formation of body refinement law and vitality field. The defensive power of the membrane was even higher than the Sky Ring Sword Armor, therefore, Li Fuchen wasn’t injured.

“This place is entirely filled with wind dao energy essence. It is truly terrifying.”

Li Fuchen continued to ascend.

One might be able to see the stars from under the night sky, but that was just the projection of the stars. It was impossible to see any detail and could only see a spot of light. As such, it was useless when cultivating the Hand of Star.

15 million miles, 20 million miles...

Creak Creak...

Li Fuchen’s Sky Ring Sword Armor was already disintegrated and only the law field was still supporting Li Fuchen.

But now, even the law field was already unable to endure and was constantly distorting.

Bang!

A resplendent thunderbolt snake suddenly slithered over and smashed onto Li Fuchen’s law field.

Pfff!

The law field was instantly ripped apart, and Li Fuchen descended rapidly due to the shock.

According to what Li Fuchen knew, the atmosphere was made of four layers. The first layer was the wind layer, the second layer was the thunderbolt layer, the third layer was the heat layer, and the fourth layer was the vaporize layer.

The first wind layer had the biggest altitude range.

The second thunderbolt layer contained countless types of thunderbolts. Even the weakest thunderbolt would be able to kill a regular Law Phase Realm emperor. The strongest thunderbolt was able to kill a great emperor.

Of course, such thunderbolts were very rare.

The thunderbolt that Li Fuchen encountered was an extremely powerful thunderbolt called the Mystic Yin Heaven Thunder.

The Mystic Yin Heaven Thunder’s power was similar to the Mystic Yang Heaven Thunder.

Li Fuchen’s Mystic Yang Heaven Thunder incantation was able to summon the Mystic Yang Heaven Thunder.

But the summoned Mystic Yang Heaven Thunder would be weakened as it descended through the layers of atmosphere. Therefore, the power was less than a hundredth and was incomparable to the Mystic Yin Heaven Thunder and Mystic Yang Heaven Thunder in the thunderbolt layer.

As for the third heat layer, it was extremely horrific and even a great emperor would perish once they entered.

This layer gathered all planes of heat from the stars and also the cosmic rays.

In order to reach this layer, one would need to be at least a saint, otherwise, it would be certain death.

It was fortunate that Li Fuchen didn’t have to reach the heat layer and only had to reach the thunderbolt layer.

According to ancient records, one would be able to observe the stars clearly from the thunderbolt layer. There were some stars that were closer and one could even see the surface features.

“With my current strength, I am still unable to reach the thunderbolt layer. It is a pity.”

Earlier on, Li Fuchen’s eyes saw the outline of an entire star, but the time was too short and he didn’t have time to comprehend anything.
