Chapter 504 Strength Advancement

“Hehehe…”

Adorable was extremely excited.

It was a water creature. When it saw the boundless sea, it seemed to have returned home. It jumped up and plunged into the dark black sea, splashing lots of water, and then disappearing without a trace. After a while, it shot out like an arrow. It wagged its tail in the void, and with a shake, it became golden, five or six meters long, moving through the water like a shuttle.

Ding Hao and Evil Moon, landed on Adorable’s back. They moved as if they were walking on the ground.

The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and lightning could be faintly seen.

The sea was black. In the distance, it could be seen that many hurricane columns were rotating in the sea, showing a spectacular scene of a dragon sucking water. The water columns that were sucked up were like smaller dark dragons, whistling and circling between the sea and the sky. The sea rose and fell violently. A big wave came up, like a blue mountain moving closer!

The water in the area was extremely strange, as if it had been mixed with endless amounts of ink, which was terribly black.

A faint lifeless Qi pervaded the air.

The bottomless seawater roared like thunder. The vortex was sometimes visible and sometimes it splashed water columns into the sky. The water flows were extremely complicated and kept hitting each other. The white foam piled up, giving people a feeling of dread. It seemed that there would be a terrible monster rushing out of the water at any time to swallow people in one bite.

“This is still a space with ancient laws… Well, yes, this is the space formed by the water law… So it is a vast ocean. This way, every segment of the ancient road to the west is actually the ultimate terrain composed of a remnant law? The first segment is a primeval forest, which comes from the wood law, and the second segment is an ocean. What will be waiting for us next?”

Ding Hao seemed to have realized something and was thinking about it in his heart.

Adorable moved quickly and dexterously in the raging waves. It wasn’t affected by the mountain-like waves at all. A golden light shield appeared behind her, enveloping Ding Hao and Evil Moon. There were no slight movements, and all the water vapor waves couldn’t splash her back.

They went west all the way.

Ding Hao had no sense of direction, and the fat cat Evil Moon was almost the same. Fortunately, Adorable had a natural intimacy with the water world. It could even find the right direction.

“The west is the third gate of the ancient road!”

If Ding Hao’s estimation was correct, they would reach the end of the second section of the ancient road and find the whirlpool door of the third section at about 1,000 meters west of their position.

According to Adorable’s speed, it should be able to finish the whole water area in half a day at most.

Ding Hao sat quietly on the dolphin’s back and began to cultivate while racing against time.

Those days, Ding Hao had benefited a lot from several consecutive big battles.

The fight with masters at the Martial Royal Realm and the Demon Royal Realm in particular made Ding Hao’s understanding of Martial Arts deepen rapidly. He had known the profound mysteries of many Human Royals and Demon Royals, so his vision was greatly widened. It was also very important for him to create his own fighting skills. Moreover, his Qi cultivation had also increased gradually. Ding Hao felt that his Qi in the Qi passageway of the Sixth Meridian of Hand Yangming was swelling, and the third aperture Xuanji was gradually showing signs of refining.

Calculating with his fingers, it had been two months since he reached the Two-apertured Great Grandmaster Realm.

According to Ding Hao’s previous cultivation speed, it could be said that his progress had been slow.

However, after reaching the Great Grandmaster Realm, the star concentration in each acupoint was hundreds of times more difficult than before. For other people, refining an acupoint of the Sixth Meridian of Hand Yangming would take at least a year and a half. Therefore, in terms of horizontal comparison, Ding Hao was already very fast.

“Now that I’ve accumulated enough energy, I can take this opportunity to try and reach the Three-apertures Great Grandmaster Realm!”

Ding Hao operated the Heart Essential.

Although his current combat strength was comparable to that of the Martial Royal Realm, for martial artists, in addition to their combat strength, the Qi cultivation was still the most basic factor to measure and determine their strength. Besides, the reaction speed of martial artists, their shooting speed, their flying speed, their life length, their Qi concentration degree and so on were all decided by the level of their Qi cultivation.

The Qi cultivation was the most basic part.

With the Qi cultivation in the Great Grandmaster Realm, a warrior could have at least 400 years of life.

The Qi’s transformation to the body satisfies mankind’s pursuit of a long life.

In other words, Ding Hao was 400 years old.

If he could further step into the Martial King Realm, he would have a lifespan of 600 years and in the Martial Royal Realm he could achieve 800 years.

Only by living and living longer could one continue to crack the mystery of Martial Arts and enter a higher realm. That was to say, heaven was fair to everyone. Many people who were about to die would be able to obtain a longer life and an opportunity to live longer after they finally broke through a great realm.

From that perspective, any warrior would not pass up the opportunity to cultivate his Qi.

Even Zhang Fan, who had practiced the Supreme Kung Fu Devoted by Ten Emperors, did not give up Qi cultivation. No one knew how much blood and sweat the hunter boy, from a martial disciple to a Great Martial Mentor, had paid. A strong attack power and a strong body could not represent everything.

Therefore, for Ding Hao, the most important thing was to improve his Qi cultivation.

He quietly sat cross-legged on Adorable’s back and ran his Qi to the limit. He could faintly see six silver lights like big rivers in his hands, legs, and body, which were very profound and mysterious.

Those six silver lights represented five meridian channels of the twelve meridians: the First Channel of Hand Shaoyin, the Second Channel of Hand Shaoyang, the Third Channel of Hand Shaoyin, the Fourth Channel of Hand Shaoyang and the Fifth Channel of Hand Jueyin.

Every meridian channel represented a great realm.

At that time, Ding Hao activated the Hell Ice Qi in the Lower Dantian of his abdomen. The silver Icing Qi went through the five complete meridian channels, blooming with brilliance, like five silver rivers, flowing unceasingly and forming a system by itself. Each meridian had nine successful acupoints, which were shining and flickering like nine stars.

Ding Hao’s body was like a miniature universe, and 47 acupoints were 47 stars. Qi was running in the Qi passageway. When passing through every acupoint, the speed of the silver light would double sharply. Like a raging river, it was constantly circulating, nourishing and growing.

Only one-third of the Sixth Meridian Channel of Hand Yangming was surging in sliver and only two stars were shining.

Time flew by.

Ding Hao kept driving his Qi to hit the third acupoint.

That was a process of continuous attempts and attacks.

After many attempts, the silver light finally pushed forward an inch, breaking through the seemingly insurmountable shackle, and entering the aperture of Xuanji. The silver light began to slowly rotate in the aperture filled with impurities. Every time it rotated, the aperture would become stronger with fewer impurities.

Sparkling!

Even with Ding Hao’s talent, after entering the Great Grandmaster Realm, the speed to improve his Qi cultivation was getting slower and slower.

Four hours passed.

A strong silver light burst out from Ding Hao’s shoulder blade. The obscure Xuanji acupoint finally shone like a star. Streaks of silver light came out of Ding Hao’s body, blooming with a mysterious and solemn brilliance.

The Three-apertured Great Grandmaster Realm!

Ding Hao slowly got up with a smile on his face.

He had finally succeeded.

With his idea activated, a silver splendor flickered all over his body.

The silver flame gradually tended to be substantial, as if it were something tangible. It flowed out of Ding Hao’s body. Under Ding Hao’s control, it began to change into various shapes. Finally, four condensed silver Qi strands grew from his back and turned into four silver arms!

At the same time, four silver light spots flickered and rose at the back of Ding Hao’s head.

Ding Hao could clearly feel that the scenery in all directions was reflected in his mind in an instant. That feeling was as if there were eyes growing behind his head. It wasn’t the reflection results of his divine sense scanning, but something that he had truly “seen”.

Three heads and six arms.

Only the warriors at the Three-apertured Great Grandmaster Realm were able to have such kind of magical power.

It was just a general description.

The so-called “three heads” did not mean that the martial artist really had three heads. Instead, after he had entered the Three-apertured Great Grandmaster Realm, he could see everything around him with his magic power up to 360 degrees. He didn’t need to activate his Qi, but he could also sense it. The reaction ability of the martial artist himself to the outside world would reach the limit, and there would be no blind angles or spots.

As for the so-called six arms, it referred to the Qi in the body, which could overflow out of the body and turn into a part of it. It was not only limited to the dead objects such as shields and weapons, but also the spiritual creatures, as flexible as arms and legs. It could be imagined that, when two parties with equal strength fought, one of them would suddenly have an extra arm or leg in close combat to suddenly launch a sneak attack. What a horrible scene it would be!”

After entering the Three-apertured Great Grandmaster Realm, even if he didn’t perform the Beast Transform, Ding Hao still had a magic power similar to that of three heads and six arms.

He tried a few times and used the Qi in his body to condense different parts. Then he was lost in thought. When he transformed into the Baleful Yin White Ape again, could he also use such a magical power?

There was another problem that Ding Hao had to pay attention to.

The Baleful Devil White Ape ranked too low among the 72 Divine Beasts of Earth Evil from the ancient times. It was far inferior to the top ten divine beasts like the Zhuhuai. Its talent and physical strength were also at the end of the list of the Divine Beasts of Earth Evil. Although Ding Hao had merged the Heaven-Earth Blood Bone into his blood essence and he had the magical power of three heads and six arms, he might not be comparable to the divine beasts like the Zhuhuai.

There was a divine beast ranking that displayed the top 20 in the first section of the ancient road to the west. Song Que obtained its blood essence. Who can guarantee that in the remaining 10 sections of the ancient road, there won’t be no higher-rank Divine Beasts of Earth Evil or Divine Beasts of Teana? If other human or demon masters were to obtain a stronger blood essence, then the Yin Evil White Ape’s blood essence would not be of much help to Ding Hao.

If he could not obtain the blood essence of stronger divine beasts, he would have to work out a way to improve the purity and strength of the Baleful Devil White Ape’s blood.

Just as Ding Hao was deep in thought, something strange happened—

A black wave of hundreds of meters high showed up before him. Suddenly, it crushed down on him.

Just as Adorable was about to jump up to face it like how he did against the huge waves from before… the huge waves suddenly split in two from the middle without giving any sign. A terrible cold light, which was full of the light of heaven and earth, suddenly appeared from the dark sea and shot straight at Ding Hao!

Killing intent burst forth!
