Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 167: Terrifying Arrows, Jiang Yuan Breaks Through!

Li Liang saw everyone retreating into the distance, and a wicked smile appeared on his ferocious face.

"The human cultivators are indeed timid. They have already retreated before I even arrived!"

"It's fortunate that they ran fast! Otherwise, I wouldn't mind catching a few cultivators to satisfy my hunger!"

As he said this, he licked his lips with his crimson tongue, as if savoring something.

Then, he looked at the Shouyuan Fruit in the distance and complained, "It's difficult to deal with on land, the speed is too slow! Coupled with the suppression of the Grotto-Heaven's power, my speed is only about five li per breath."

I wonder how Yu Xuan, the sister of the Xuan Turtle clan, is doing?

With these thoughts in his mind, his speed remained unchanged as he flew quickly towards Jiang Yuan's location.

After a moment.

The crowd had already retreated hundreds of miles away.

At this moment, Li Liang was about to arrive above the valley.

Seeing this scene, everyone's figures came to a stop.

"This distance is about right! Let's see how Jiang Yuan handles it!" someone said.

The crowd then looked towards the distance.

A few breaths later.

Li Liang's figure flashed and he arrived below the valley.

In an instant, he smelled the aroma of meat wafting up from below.

His expression first became astonished.

Is this Yu Xuan?

Then he suddenly became furious, his eyes bloodshot.

The pure and pristine Yu Xuan was actually cooked by this human youth?

Originally, he had planned to pursue her after Yu Xuan transformed and if her appearance was outstanding.

But now, seeing this scene, his anger surged in his mind.

His aura suddenly soared.

A powerful pressure swept through the surroundings, causing terrifying waves of qi.

"What a terrifying Li Liang!" someone exclaimed from afar.

Even though they were hundreds of miles apart, they could still feel the terrifying aura emanating from Li Liang.

It was like a dark cloud pressing down on the city, making people afraid to take deep breaths.

Just at this moment.

Jiang Yuan raised the bow and arrow in his hand, gradually pulling back the bowstring.

"It's a good opportunity to test the power of this low-grade spiritual weapon combined with my blood qi!" Jiang Yuan muttered.

His aura firmly locked onto Li Liang in the air.

This was the first test of the Jiaolong Bow for Jiang Yuan, and he didn't plan to hold back at all.

Moreover, his opponent was Li Liang, a Core Condensation realm cultivator from the Night Yak clan, who was at the ninth level of Core Condensation. Jiang Yuan didn't dare to underestimate him.

In an instant, the power of his blood qi mixed with spiritual energy crazily poured into the arrow in his hand.

The arrows of this bow were not ordinary arrows, but arrows specifically designed for it.

They also contained spirituality, with a total of nine arrows.

With the blessing of their spirituality, no matter how far they flew, they could return to his hand.

This was one of the effects of a spiritual weapon.

Having autonomous spirituality, it didn't need the control of its owner to possess some power.

The higher the grade, the stronger the spirituality.

Just like the imitation Heaven's Secret Realm on his body, it didn't need his manipulation to independently resist others' deductions, having the effect of obscuring the Heaven's Secret.

As his blood qi poured in, the arrow in his hand instantly took on a rich blood color.

In the air, Li Liang's expression also became solemn.

Feeling his aura firmly locking onto him from below, he immediately manifested a long spear in his hand.

Holding the spear, he felt slightly relieved in his heart.

Then he shouted down, "Are you Jiang Yuan?"

"Correct!" Jiang Yuan replied indifferently.

At this moment, the bowstring had already been pulled to its limit.

This was the best state for releasing the arrow!

The low-grade spiritual weapon in his hand, the Jiaolong Bow, could bear even more power than this.

(Note: The translation provided is a direct translation and may not capture the full meaning or nuances of the original text.)

As long as it does not exceed the maximum carrying capacity of this spiritual bow, the degree to which it can be drawn is full string.

Li Liang looked at Jiang Yuan below, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"How dare you! Not only did you kill the demons of the East Sea, but you also dare to attack me! I will let you know later what it means to be better off dead!"

"Nonsense!"

Jiang Yuan's words fell.

Boom--

The arrow had just left the bowstring, and the power of heaven and earth suddenly erupted, followed by a loud rumbling sound.

An invisible fluctuation instantly resounded throughout the entire world.

Whether it was within a yard in front or thousands of yards away, everyone heard the sound of the rumbling.

The clouds in the sky dissipated abruptly at the moment the arrow left the bowstring.

The arrow of qi and blood instantly tore through the void.

Li Liang didn't have time to think too much because this arrow was too fast, too fast!

It was so fast that he couldn't have any distractions.

He gripped his spear and shouted, "Break!"

In an instant, his spear carried an immense force as it stabbed towards the seemingly ordinary arrow.

The moment they made contact, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression turned horrified.

Something's not right!

Just as this thought arose, his spear in his hand shattered inch by inch.

The arrow, however, did not pause.

Boom--

A burst of explosion echoed in the void.

Li Liang didn't even have time to leave any last words before he turned into a mist of blood.

Jiang Yuan saw this scene and also showed surprise on his face.

How could it be so strong?

This result greatly exceeded his expectations.

He looked at his own hands, which were ordinary and unremarkable.

He sensed the changes within his body.

In that just one arrow, the power of qi and blood only consumed one-tenth.

In other words, he could still shoot ten arrows of this power in a short period of time.

Am I too strong, or is he too weak?

Jiang Yuan felt puzzled.

Then he thought about the records about Li Liang.

Having the bloodline of the Sea Yaksha King, at the Core Condensation Ninth Level, just one step away from breaking into the Divine Bridge Realm. Below the Divine Bridge Realm, he could be called a king.

These records had nothing to do with weakness.

Could it be that I underestimated the effectiveness of the power of qi and blood?

Jiang Yuan thought to himself again.

After a few breaths, he shook his head and put the Dragon Bow in his bag.

After this battle, he still didn't understand the extent of his own strength.

Because he still hadn't found a reference point.

Originally, he thought he would have a great battle with Li Liang.

But the result was beyond his expectations. Li Liang couldn't even catch his seemingly ordinary arrow.

He was shot into a mist of blood, leaving nothing behind.

This meant that the gap between the two was too great.

Like a chasm.

This meant that he was invincible at least below the Divine Bridge Realm.

I wonder how strong the Divine Bridge Realm really is?

Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

Because according to his understanding, the Divine Bridge Realm could control the power of heaven and earth and turn the surrounding area into a domain.

This was completely different from the Spirit Sea Realm.

This meant that the Divine Bridge Realm could wield a certain authority. For the Spirit Sea Realm, this was equivalent to a downgrade.

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Yuan had always been so wary of the Divine Bridge Realm.

But after this battle, he suddenly felt a strong desire to try it out.

I really want to find someone from the Divine Bridge Realm to have a battle and see how strong I am now.

How strong am I?

Jiang Yuan glanced regretfully in the direction where Li Liang had just been.

With just one arrow, Li Liang's storage item was shattered.

All his belongings were swept into the chaotic space flow.

On the other side.

Silence lingered for a long time.

Everyone looked at each other, unable to speak for a long time.

A few moments passed.

Someone swallowed their saliva.

"Jiang Yuan is actually this strong? With this kind of strength, is he really just at the eighth level of the Spirit Sea Realm?"

Faced with this doubt.

Silence, an unusual silence.

Then someone sighed, "We underestimated his strength. No wonder he said he was confident! With one arrow, he can kill Li Liang. With this kind of strength, even the Divine Bridge Realm would not dare to say they could safely take his arrow!"

"That's hard to say!" someone said, "When the Divine Bridge Realm's domain is activated, arrows entering the domain are like sinking into a quagmire, and their power is reduced by at least several layers!"

"That's true!" the person nodded.

Then they said, "But at least below the Divine Bridge Realm, he is already invincible. At least in my Gan Yuan Kingdom, no one is his match."

In the valley.

By now, the turtle soup had completely boiled, with the meat and soup mixed together.

Jiang Yuan scooped up a spoonful of soup and poured it into his mouth.

His eyes sparkled.

"Young master, is it delicious?" Shu Xiaoxiao hurriedly asked.

"Delicious!" Jiang Yuan sighed, "I have never tasted such a delicious meat soup. It's no wonder it's the meat of a seventh-level Core Condensation realm turtle."

Leaving these words behind, Jiang Yuan instantly started eating.

This pot of turtle soup in front of him was the key to his breakthrough.

Shu Xiaoxiao also joined in.

But her stomach was limited, and she could only eat a few catties before she couldn't eat anymore.

Jiang Yuan, on the other hand, showed no restraint and ate greedily.

As he ate, he opened his mouth and sucked, and a continuous stream of meat soup flowed into his belly.

When the talented individuals of the human race came over, they saw the empty pot of turtle soup in the valley.

"He... is he a gluttonous reincarnation? He finished such a large pot of turtle soup in just half a quarter of an hour?"

Everyone: ...

At the same time.

Jiang Yuan was already sitting cross-legged in the valley, mobilizing the power of his blood and qi to assist in digesting the essence of the meat in his belly.

Previously, he had relied on his own slow digestion of the essence.

Now, he actively refined it.

Instantly, he felt a difference.

The pile of flesh and blood in his abdomen dissolved one by one, turning into spiritual energy that surged into his limbs and bones.

Jiang Yuan's body seemed to glow, emitting a faint light in the sunlight, as if a divine presence had descended to the mortal world.

Seeing this scene, someone whispered, "What is he doing?"

"Cultivating, digesting!" someone said, and then continued, "He must have a special physique to be able to eat so many monsters in such a short time."

"No need to say that, who can't see it! After he refines these essences, his cultivation will definitely advance further. If he had deep accumulations before, he might even break through to the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm."

At this moment.

Jiang Yuan was not moved by the attention from afar.

He continued to refine the essence in his belly by actively mobilizing the power of his blood and qi.

Compared to the previous natural digestion, the efficiency of active refinement had increased by more than ten times.

Sensing this progress, he seized the time even more.

In this situation, his Spirit Sea gradually became full.

With the replenishment of spiritual energy to his physical body, every cell became stronger, emitting a faint glow.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, his face calm and peaceful, the white light gathering on his body, making him appear divine and godlike.

Shu Xiaoxiao also became extremely vigilant, protecting Jiang Yuan.

Although Jiang Yuan's recent actions have deterred everyone, she still cannot afford to be careless. After all, human hearts are unpredictable, and there may be people who dare to take advantage of Jiang Yuan, especially since the Shouyuan Fruit is nearby, not far from Jiang Yuan.

Moreover, there have been several unfamiliar faces appearing now, all of whom are later arrivals. They can only understand Jiang Yuan's strength through the accounts of others and do not have such fear.

Furthermore, as time passes, there may be more people gathering here. But not many.

After all, only those within a thousand miles can see this illusion of the Immortal Peach.

At this distance, most people have already been able to reach this place.

Time slowly passes.

Some people have left this place one after another.

Jiang Yuan remains here, relying on her recent killing of Li Liang. They know that there is basically no chance of obtaining the Shouyuan Fruit.

Even if everyone attacks together, it would be meaningless except for bloodshed in the Grotto-Heaven.

Since that's the case, it would be a waste of effort to delay here.

Time is precious, so it's better to go elsewhere to seek opportunities.

One day later.

Jiang Yuan's flesh and blood essence in her abdomen has already been refined by thirty percent, and her Spirit Sea is gradually becoming full.

Another hour passes.

The Spirit Sea is completely full, and Jiang Yuan no longer delays.

Boom!

The heavens and earth tremble.

A Spirit Sea instantly appears above her head.

Giant waves surge, covering the sky, and the sea rushes in all directions.

"He's breaking through! Jiang Yuan actually dares to break through here? Is he seeking death?"

"He's either extremely skilled and bold, or he's temporarily lost his senses. Breaking through is not something that can tolerate disturbances. The turbulence of the Spirit Sea, the body cannot withstand it!"

"I can't understand why he can't bear it and has to break through here."

As the discussion among several people continued, some of the remaining crowd had a flicker in their eyes.

Suddenly, someone said, "Brothers, this is a perfect opportunity! Jiang Yuan is breaking through here, which gives us a chance to seize the Longevity Fruit! As long as we all take action together, disrupt his breakthrough, and make his Spirit Sea turbulent, he will at least suffer serious injuries."

"You're right! If we don't seize the opportunity given by heaven, we will suffer the consequences!"

Instantly, someone responded.

With these words from the two people, several others were also moved.

Just at this moment, Jiang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

"Seeking death!"

He raised his hand and two five-colored divine rings condensed out of thin air, appearing above the heads of the two people.

"Spare us—"

One of them looked horrified.

The others scattered in all directions, not daring to underestimate these seemingly ordinary five-colored divine rings.

Since Jiang Yuan took action, it was undoubtedly a thunderous strike that would give a deterrent effect.

In this situation, if one was too close, they would inevitably be affected.

In an instant, one of the five-colored divine rings fell around his neck.

Boom—

The five elements repelled each other, suddenly erupting with an extremely powerful force.

The two people instantly turned into a mist of blood.

The people nearby were also affected, being blasted dozens of zhang away and spitting out blood.

Seeing this scene, the few people who had some doubts in their hearts were instantly frightened, their legs trembling.

As for the few geniuses who were affected, they didn't even dare to make a sound.

In an instant, several people quietly left the place.

Seeing this situation, there was really no need to stay here anymore.

Even if Jiang Yuan was in the midst of a breakthrough, he could still take action.

In such a situation, it was meaningless to continue lingering.
