Chapter 724 - Fifth Earthly Martial Stage

Chapter 724 - Fifth Earthly Martial Stage

She was certain that she would catch up with Long Chen’s Blood Warp, but the situation was different now!

“Damn!” Long Chen had disappeared. Feng Zhilin waved her Shapeless Whip wildly and blew a large hole in the ground, sending dirt and metallic sand flying everywhere.

She crushed the metallic sand even further in her rampage.

“Damn! Damn!” The angry Feng Zhilin was like a wild beast that continued to rage blindly. The sand flew continuously as she dug a large hole in front of her using the Shapeless Whip.

But no matter what she did, Long Chen was gone.

“Long Chen, I will take back the Martial God Tombstone from you! Just you wait! I refuse to believe that you will stay underground forever. The moment you step out, I will butcher you into bits!”

She howled angrily in the cavernous space.

The Martial God Tombstone was supposed to be the chance for Feng Zhilin to reach the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, and also the key to increasing the strength of the Wind clan. The Wind clan’s patriarch had given the important task of transporting it to Feng Zhilin, even leaving the Shapeless Whip with her in hopes that she would obtain treasures for the clan.

It was supposed to be an easy mission for her, but her pride had ruined it!

“Long Chen ...” Feng Zhilin calmed down and stared at the direction Long Chen had disappeared. She was oozing bloodlust.

“To think someone below the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage could win against me like this ...”

Her laughter echoed underground.

Long Chen naturally didn’t hear her, but he could imagine what kind of face she was making. She had underestimated him, and Long Chen had actually managed to steal the Martial God Tombstone.

He had succeeded.

He sighed in relief.

He solidified his basics after copying the first to fourth stages of the Earthly Martial Fist. The Martial God Tombstone had given him a lot of ideas, so much so that he noticed a lot of different movements that he had missed in the past. Long Chen was certain that he would become stronger as long as he continued to cultivate!

Five days later, his basics had surpassed that of others at his age. He was slowly making his way to the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage. Without the Martial God Tombstone, he would’ve needed to study the manual before advancing, but now he could just copy the illusion’s movements to improve!

As long as the form and essence was correct, his Martial Soul would naturally grow too. His strength would increase substantially.

Long Chen immersed himself in cultivation in the underground cave, where no one could disturb him. Little Cat remained silent as he watched Long Chen slowly grow stronger.

Time slowly passed. Under the guidance of the Martial God Tombstone, things finally started to change on the fifteenth day. Earthly Qi surged towards Long Chen and enveloped his fist as he cultivated. The space warped a little while aftershocks caused tremors in the earth again and again.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Earthly Qi enveloped him completely.

He punched one last time and then sat down. He had completed the fifth stage of the Earthly Martial Fist and his Martial Soul had changed once more.

The fog in his sea of consciousness surged towards his dragon-shaped Martial Soul. After completing the fifth stage, Long Chen’s Martial Soul had become substantially realistic. He could now see the traces of scales on it.

His Martial Soul was coming to life.

The increasing strength of the Martial Soul caused it to suck the surrounding Earthly Qi into his body. Long Chen transformed it into his Dragon Soul Essence as it came in. His veins had gotten stronger thanks to his Martial Soul, allowing him to store more essence. The cores within his nine Martial Meridians also became more vibrant.

Time continued to pass.

Long Chen finally stopped cultivating, signaling his success in reaching the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage. It had only been a month since he came to the Ancient Graveyard, and his strength had increased from the Third Earthly Martial Stage to the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage. Including his Dragon Soul Transformation and the Five Emperor Seals, he was now an intermediate cultivator in the Ancient Graveyard.

He stood up and felt the new power in his body. His confidence grew from feeling the new strength in him, or rather he was confident in the Martial God Tombstone. It had taken him only fifteen days to make a breakthrough thanks to the Martial God Tombstone. How much longer would it take to reach the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage?

The Martial God Tombstone would only make Long Chen stronger.
