Ximen Yeshui and Little Nine continued on arguing and bickering, not noticing the change with Ye Qingyu.

As they continued.

They continued to encounter many remnants of the battlefield.

It seemed every thousand meters or so, they would discover the bodies of powerful experts.

It was as if this was a road of death paved with fresh blood.

But the corpses they encountered after did not all die by the spear. Evidently, it was not the mysterious owner of the red-tasselled spear who had acted. Since this matter concerned the legacy of the pFormation Sovereign] Luoso, everyone would risk their lives to obtain a chance. In the world of martial artists, pulling one’s blades out after some conflict was an extremely normal matter.

It was only that there were too many people who had died.

And they were all powerful experts.

Ye Qingyu could not help but feel regret.

So many experts. If they could be used to truly protect the Human Race and defend at the borders, resisting against the invasions and attack of the demon races, it would be the best. If these people appeared on the battlefield, then there would be much less death in the Empire. The situation of the Empire would also not be so desperate and hard-pressed…

It was a pity, but the humans after the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors could not truly unite together.

Since time was tight, Ye Qingyu could not even stop and observe the reasons behind the death of these people.

He could only increase his speed.

The further he went, the hotter the bronze medal got within his chest.

Ye Qingyu was increasingly sure that within the mysterious space of the [Base of the Formation Sovereign], there was something or perhaps some power that had activated something within the badge. They resonated with each other.

Four hours later.

Ye Qingyu brought Ximen Yeshui into the tenth zone.

The instant they entered into the tenth fog zone, Ye Qingyu could not help but grit his teeth.

The [Power of Annihilation] had already grown to such an extent that it nearly exceeded the limits of Ye Qingyu’s strength. The [Power of Annihilation] was not as terrifying as the Power of Chaos, but it contained, lightning, light, and the power of the five elements scattered throughout in disorder. It caused a deep headache.

Ye Qingyu bit his teeth, not activating the [Limitless Divine Way] to resist.

According to the markings on Ximen Yeshui’s maps, they must pass through all these zones, before they could truly enter into the heart of the [Base of the Formation Sovereign].

If he showed all his cards at this moment, Ye Qingyu felt he definitely had no way of enduring until he exited from the fog zones.

Although the [Power of Annihilation] was frightening, but it could aid a martial artist in training their fleshly body. All sorts of energies and powers were immersed together in disorder. It was even more effective in training the power of a martial artist than simple pressure alone.

Ye Qingyu’s martial cultivation path first began when he had assimilated with a mysterious drop of blood within the Dragon’s Den in the [Boundary Canyon Battlefield]. Then he was refined for a length of time in the [Cloud Top Couldron] of the [Pill King of Azure Phoenix]. Furthermore, he was able to obtain the [Supreme Ice Flame] in the [Den of the Snow Dragons] to help refine his body. It could be said that his body refinement had met many fortuitous encounters.

Solely by the toughness of his body, he could already be called the strongest amongst his peers.

But ever since the battle of the martial alliance in Proud Sky Center, under such huge pressure, when he activated the [Third Limit] of the [Limitless Divine Way], Ye Qingyu evidently felt that the toughness of his body was by far not enough.

In the state of the [Third Limit], when his yuan qi exploded, his meridians and channels were nearly at a state where it could not endure any more and would explode. Afterwards, he felt that his channels were sore and swollen. When he returned from battle and recovered within the military camps, Ye Qingyu discovered that there were already countless hidden injuries and fractures within his acupuncture points and meridians.

These hidden injuries were like rivers choking up with silt and sludge. Although it would not have too much damage in the immediate future, but after the accumulation of time, there was a possibility it would destroy his meridians.

Thankfully, it was discovered in time.

After a period of time of intentional rest and recovery, Ye Qingyu could be said to have returned to normal.

Of course, Ye Qingyu had already realized that a huge problem had appeared in his martial path.

As his yuan qi cultivation madly rose, the toughness of his body could barely keep up with such progress.

Therefore, he had always remained largely within the [First Limit] of the [Limitless Divine Way]. The reason that it was hard to increase beyond the [First Limit] was because the toughness of his body had no way of withstanding such a humongous energy.

But refining his body, was not like increasing his yuan qi cultivation. One could not rely on medicinal pills or Origin crystals to increase it. Therefore, Ye Qingyu did not have a better method in the recent period of time.

In reality, Ye Qingyu had met with multiple fortunes – the strength of his body already far exceeded anyone at the same cultivation level. If it was anyone else, for anyone’s yuan qi cultivation to explosively increase from one Spirit spring to sixty within just one year they would long have exploded because their body had no way of withstanding such power.

But even after multiple fortunes, there was still an issue.

Because Ye Qingyu’s yuan qi cultivation had grown too rapidly.

His body refinement became the limiting factor.

Therefore, sensing the vast pressure of the [Power of Annihilation], Ye Qingyu also sensed that his opportunity had arrived.

He bit his teeth, activating the nameless breathing technique, and coordinated with the pressure, beginning to refine his own body.

This process happened soundlessly.

The nameless breathing technique had long been integrated within Ye Qingyu’s very bones. He had no need to meditate, and could activate it naturally. It did not disturb the speed of their journey, and Little Nine and Ximen Yeshui did not sense anything.

After an hour, they had travelled past the tenth zone.

Ye Qingyu could no longer be sure just where the distorted fog zone had brought them. But he could be absolutely certain, that they were no longer in Deer Mountain.

“Eh? You’re sweating…” Ximen Yeshui looked with surprise at Ye Qingyu’s forehead. There were beads of sweat dripping down his head. He could not help but ask, “Do you need my help?”

What he meant was that he would naturally aid Ye Qingyu the next time they entered into the next zone to resist against the [Fog of Annihilation].

Ye Qingyu shook his head.

“Haha, don’t force yourself.” Ximen Yeshui smiled. “I am a very straightforward person. Your strength is not quite enough. It’ll be very hard for you to finish traversing through all the zones. Although without you, I most likely will get lost in these foggy zones, but I cannot force you to lead the way. Little brother, think over it carefully. If you retreat now, it’s not too late.”

“No, let’s continue.” Ye Qingyu smiled.

After an hour of using the nameless breathing technique and taking advantage of the [Power of Annihilation] to refine his body, the effect was better than what he had estimated. The moment they left the fog, Ye Qingyu felt a strange warm stream that ran beneath his skin. This was one of the signs of success in refining his body.

“Fine, if you can’t stand it anymore, then give me a shout. I’ll help you,” Ximen Yeshui said, looking loyal and filled with the spirit of brotherhood. Slapping his large chest he said, “Perhaps the future road will be difficult to travel. But rest assured, I will protect you. You won’t need to fear with me here.”

“I did not say I was afraid.”

Ye Qingyu did not know whether to laugh or cry at this comrade who treated him so familiarly.

Little Nine was a person who remembered who had wronged him even after ten thousand years. At this time, he was still biting onto Ximen Yeshui’s finger, not even willing to loosen at the slightest. Ximen Yeshui tried every method, but could not get the glutton off.

In the blink of an eye, four hours had passed again.

The three had already reached the fourteenth zone.

Ye Qingyu’s body was covered in sweat, his clothes nearly completely drenched.

And the warmth that ran beneath his skin, at this time, had transformed into a fire that swept the plains. It spread throughout his body, through his organs, flesh and bones. It was like an endless fire running about, as if his entire body was being bathed in scorching lava.

Ye Qingyu let out a breath, and it was like fire was being spat out. He entered into a strange state.

And what made people feel strange, was that under such a state, he could no longer sense the power of the [Fog of Annihilation]. Even though the terrifying power of the fog had multiplied, he could no longer even feel any sense of pressure.

“Are you training right now? What cultivation technique is it? It’s strange, I feel that if you continue on like so, you will be in danger. Your innards will be cooked… do you really not need my help?”

Ximen Yeshui continued to nag.

Evidently, he was exceedingly curious about what was happening in Ye Qingyu’s body.

Ye Qingyu did not pay the slightest of attention to his nagging.

The endless [Fog of Annihilation] surged all over him. He had finally reached his utter limits.

The yuan qi surrounding Ye Qingyu completely disappeared.

The next instant, the [Fog of Annihilation] had completely pierced through the yuan qi surrounding Ye Qingyu.

Che!

Without the support and protection of yuan qi, the clothing on Ye Qingyu’s body completely turned to ashes.

“Hey, little brother, you are streaking!”

Ximen Yeshui began shouting.

He had an expression of someone delighting in someone else’s plight. It was as if he had long awaited this moment.

“Wahahaha…” Little Nine also couldn’t help but chuckle loudly.

As he laughed, Little Nine’s mouth finally loosened. This was the moment Ximen Yeshui was waiting for. At the first instant, he retrieved his finger.

Little Nine was taken aback, then reacted. He once again pounded like a bolt of lightning at him, wanting to bite on yet again. Ximen Yeshui hid both of his hands away, not giving him the slightest of chance.

“Woof!”

Little Nine was enraged, and directly bit onto one of Ximen Yeshui’s leg.

“Ah… you really are a dog!” Ximen Yeshui began screaming tragically.

Ye Qingyu did not have the energy to deal with these two living treasures.

HIs clothing completely disappeared, and he instantly became naked.

Thankfully, Ye Qingyu had prepared for such a scenario. Using the [Supreme Ice Flame], he used the vapour of the ice flame to envelop him so that he would not be naked in the fog.

As for the items in his interdimensional pouch, it also could not withstand the destructive power of the [Fog of Annihilation]. Ye Qingyu had long prepared for this, and placed it within the [Cloud Top Couldron] within the clear springs of his dantian world.
