Chapter 306: Intent, Breakthrough to the First-stage with the body
"Combat art: Whispering shadow step."
Lu Zhen appeared in the distance several kilometres away from them. His mouth opened again, devouring all the Qi in the surrounding like a hungry beast.
The intent of the grim reaper was also absorbed by Lu Zhen, which filled him with escacity.
In fact, all the energy that he absorbed could only help his bloodline grow in purity for the body, and his Qi cultivation.
He needed to combine the true form with his Qi and body and become in harmony with them.
This was the normal way to form intent. This mysterious energy is what defined a first-stage martial artist.
Even these reaper avatars wasn\'t different; for anyone to reach the first-stage martial realm, they needed to have intent.
Lu Zhen\'s physique had already reached the half first-stage martial realm; the only thing he lacked now was intent.
Unlike Qi cultivation, he didn\'t need to combine his true, Qi, and body to be able to reach these realms.
Instead, he needed to introduce intent into his body, which would automatically transform his body, just like now his body is undergoing transformation.
All the enemy second-stage martial artists were visibly frightened when they felt the aura of Lu Zhen, which was getting increasingly stronger while their own strength was dwindling rapidly.
Ye Qiang felt a deep sense of powerlessness when he realised that this guy was weird to begin with, and that power of his was even more terrifying and bizarre.
Everything about him was strange and frightening the more he thought about it.
Those terrifying demonic trees that this man released were already terrifying enough, but his strength was even infinitely close to the first-stage martial artist.
Not only that, he had a bloodline form he had never seen in his life before.
Adding to the fact of this terrifying devouring power that seemed to swallow the world, he must possess some secret of his own.
Otherwise, there is no way a small isolated place like this could produce such a person.
And most importantly, his combat arts that he displayed were things he had never seen before.
But they were helpless with their current strength; they were only lambs waiting to be slaughtered and truly have exhausted all their means.
A flash of regret crossed the man\'s eyes as he subconsciously looked at the battle of the first-stage martial artist.
Although he couldn\'t sense them anymore, he could still feel the terrifying fluctuations of them as they collided against each other.
"Now the only hope is the sect leader Feng and the grand elder. If they can turn the tides there, then no matter how powerful he is, under the power of a mid-tier one wizard, he would die." Thinking of this, Ye Qiang became decisive and immediately issued a simple order.
"Everyone, keep supplying the avatar with your Qi. It doesn\'t matter if you even take the pill given by that alchemist lord, as long as it helps." His voice echoed, and the hundreds of second-stage martial artists were a little astonished, but they immediately sprang into action.
Since he was acting as the leader, they didn\'t have to care.
Even if something happened, the blame would entirely shift towards Ye Qiang. With that said, the avatar became stable again under their unceremonious supply.
Removing the avatar was not an option anymore, as Lu Zhen\'s devouring power was focused on them.
If they lifted the avatar, that would probably be their deathbed.
Immediately drained from the devouring, their power would decrease by several points, and their fate would become sealed faster.
Lu Zhen, who was looking at these, became excited. He never expected these enemies to feed him exp instead.
While his bloodline was continuously getting purified, and his body going through the transformation, numerous blue screens popped in front of his eyes.
[You have devoured enough intent]
[The Devour skill has levelled up from level three to level four]
Lu Zhen was pleasantly surprised when he saw these.
It had been a long time since his golden ranked skill had levelled up, and this skill was one of the most powerful and useful skills he had earned till now.
Immediately, Lu Zhen used the level four Devouring skill.
The reaper avatar, which was initially starting to stabilize again, started to collapse again.
Almost half of the avatar immediately faded away with the wind, going towards Lu Zhen, where he took the intent with glee.
This intent could cause his body to finally reach the first-stage martial artist. Naturally, the more, the better.
At this point, he felt like his body could break through at any moment, but he found that he could suppress it and gain more intent.
If he could gather a large amount of intent, pushing his body to the limits, then his strength after breaking through would definitely surpass the others.
Lu Zhen promptly stopped his breakthrough from happening.
His eyes looked at the reaper avatar like looking at a treasure trove, and he continued to devour it.
Time passed quickly, and it had already been about an hour, and some second-stage martial artists fell to the ground, their bodies withered.
At this, Ye Qiang\'s expression was extremely dark.
It was apparent that those first-stage martial artists they were fighting were also in a deadlock.
Just like the people below, the Sect leader Feng and the grand elder also had hope that their army could quickly defeat those people and take over the city.
Ye Qiang was paying close attention to the sky and felt that something was fishy. The surroundings started to become heavy, and lightning elements started to gather…?
"What are these-?" His pupils abruptly froze as he looked at the bulky man in the emperor robes in front of them, his hand spread.
The clouds gathered, forming right in front of his head.
[You have reached the limits that your body could bear intent. Initializing breakthrough…]
[Your constitution has broken through, becoming a true divine physique, completely reaching the first-stage martial realm]
