Chapter 290 - 265: Sixth-level Master, Immortal Beast Puppet_1

"What are you looking at? Hurry up."

Shen Yinuo complained sweetly, her face turning so red it seemed like she could bleed.

Lu Yan quickly regained his wits and swiftly finished.

Catching a glimpse of Lu Yan’s proudly stiff figure, Shen Yinuo’s eyes, like two clear springs, shied away bashfully. She wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground, saying, "No wild thoughts, compose yourself."

"Natural reaction."

Lu Yan awkwardly smiled and took a few deep breaths. After some attempts, he finally managed to restrain himself.

Then, Yinuo taught Lu Yan the Yin Yang Melting Furnace Method.

It was quite simple, and Lu Yan mastered it quickly.

Next, they both sat cross-legged, their palms facing each other.

Shen Yinuo’s palm was hot like fire. Her body radiated a red glow, and a red Great Sun Melting Furnace emerged from her abdomen.

Ding!

The Great Sun Melting Furnace slightly shook, and strong suction force emitted from its lid. Martial Pills nearby flew into the furnace.

In just one go, hundreds rushed in.

In only a brief moment, hundreds of Martial Pills were melted down to pure energy that flowed into Shen Yinuo’s body.

With Lu Yan’s current cultivation level, it would take hours to refine a single Martial Pill.

But now, hundreds were refined in an instant. It was clear just how immense and concentrated this power was. The energy was far too much for Shen Yinuo alone to handle. Her face instantly turned unusually flushed and her body swelled up as though she was a balloon.

Fortunately, this energy promptly flowed into Lu Yan’s body.

Even though Lu Yan’s body was strong, it was hard for him to withstand such thick energy. His body inflated rapidly, making him feel the intense pain of muscles and meridians tearing apart.

Lu Yan composed his mind, operating the Yin Yang Melting Furnace Method. When he could not hold any longer, the energy flowed back to Shen Yinuo’s body through his palm.

Lu Yan distinctly felt that his twenty-eight Inner Strength channels were fuller. The rate of increase was clearly visible.

Whenever the energy flowed into Shen Yinuo and she was about to break down, it would return to him, creating a continuous cycle.

After each cycle, a portion of the energy was permanently absorbed by him and became part of his inner strength.

Like this, through constant cycles, both of their cultivation levels improved at an astounding speed.

In just two hours, a hundred Martial Pills were fully refined and transformed into their cultivation level. The efficiency was a hundred times higher than usual.

"Continue."

After resting for a bit to ensure all energy had been refined, Shen Yinuo commanded again and another hundred Martial Pills were devoured by the Great Sun Melting Furnace, once more, transforming into their cultivation level.

After one day and one night, over fifteen hundred Martial Pills were refined, significantly boosting their cultivation levels.

Obviously, this amount wasn’t enough for Lu Yan to reach the Sixth-level Master.

Because more than fifteen hundred Martial Pills were equally divided between the two of them.

With the twenty-eight Inner Strength channels he commanded, he needed more energy.

Keep going!

Time flew, day by day.

As the high-level fighters from Shengxuan Sect reached their location, the ten thousand Martial Pills they had, had also been completely refined.

Lu Yan’s cultivation level finally reached the peak of the Fifth-level Master.

While Shen Yinuo was not far from the Sixth-level Master Peak.

Although Shen Yinuo only had one Inner Strength channel, it was incredibly strong. The amount of energy it demanded was not less than Lu Yan’s. Her need for energy to upgrade, because of her Sixth-level Master status, was even greater than his.

Boom, boom...

Suddenly, rumbling came from the outside.

Lu Yan’s face changed. He knew that the high-level fighters from the Shengxuan Sect had finally found this place.

"Don’t worry, unless there are high-level fighters from the Primordial Spirit Realm, the Wish Pattern outside should keep them at bay for a month."

Shen Yinuo said.

"Good, then I’ll start my breakthrough."

Lu Yan cleared his mind of any distracting thoughts and began to adjust his state, preparing for the breakthrough to the Sixth-level Master.

Master Level cultivation focuses on refining the five internal organs and six hollow organs.

The first five levels involve refining the five organs and unlocking their potential.

However, the sixth level directly refines the six hollow organs in one go.

The twenty-eight Inner Strength channels flowed into the gallbladder and the intestines, and then passed through the three burners...

Soon, waves of powerful energy surged from the six hollow organs. Lu Yan’s inner strength greatly increased in strength. Each inner strength channel was unmistakably more substantial, several times stronger than before.

Becoming a Sixth-level Master happened as naturally as a river flows into the sea.

The import of the five organs and six hollow organs into the process created a large circulation system. They were refined again and again by his inner strength, becoming tougher and more vigorous, brimming with vitality.

With the improvement of his five organs and six hollow organs, Lu Yan’s lifespan naturally increased.

Now, as long as he wasn’t killed, he could live healthily up to two hundred and forty years old.

Next, he needs to increase his cultivation level to the peak of the Sixth-level Master. Then, by combining qi-blood, inner strength, flesh, bones, and internal organs, he would form a complete package, refine his True Body, and cultivate his True Vigor. This would enable him to strike like thunder and overcome any difficulties.

Lu Yan felt the overwhelmingly powerful energy inside his body. With just a thought, he used the three stacked Body Refining Martial Arts, bringing his strength to a terrifying level. He felt as if he could kill a fighter in the True Body Realm with a single punch.

"Lu Yan, you finally made a breakthrough. If you want to test your power, why not go with me to meet those two Immortal Beast puppets?"

Shen Yinuo said.

"Let’s go. I can’t wait to confront them."

Lu Yan was brimming with unlimited power and was eager for a fight.

The two of them got dressed and headed for the second cave through the passageway.

"Wait."

Halfway through, Shen Yinuo waved her hand, signaling for Lu Yan to stop, while she, focused on observing.

Suddenly, she waved her hand, and a flying knife shot forward.

Instantly, the surrounding corridor burst with dense patterns, transforming into numerous swords of flame, slashing towards the flying knife, shattering it into a pile of white powder that drifted to the ground.

The god-level flying knife was ground into powder in the blink of an eye, attesting to the power of these flame sword lights.

Shen Yinuo, unblinkingly focusing on these patterns for a moment, said, "Lu Yan, follow exactly in my footsteps."

With a tip of her toes, Shen Yinuo leapt forward several meters. After Lu Yan noted down their position, she took another stride, ending up several meters away without any reaction from the wish pattern in the corridor.

Lu Yan followed Shen Yinuo’s steps, heading forward.

They soon arrived at the end of the corridor.

At the end of the hallway, there was another bronze door, also with a recess in it.

Shen Yinuo took out the token and put it into the recess, and the bronze door automatically opened.

The two of them passed through the bronze door and saw a much larger cavern.

Similar to before, there were shelves arranged around the cavern with exquisite boxes placed on them.

On one of the shelves, there were even a few bags.

Sumi Mustard Seed Bags.

Lu Yan’s eyes lit up immediately, his heart pounding.

Roar!

Two negative auras rushed towards them, causing Lu Yan’s expression to become grave.

Two giant beasts, one on the left and one on the right, charged towards them.

The two beasts looked almost identical, like lions but with a pair of wings and three tails each. Their muscular bodies were pitch black, metallic in appearance.

However, their pupils were entirely blood red.

Standing at a height of three meters and with a body length of over five meters, they lunged forward, their clawed paws, each as large as a door panel, sweeping towards them.

"One each."

Shen Yinuo shouted out her command, her palms already turning blood red, as she faced one of the Immortal Beasts.

Lu Yan pushed his body refining martial arts to the limit, his body shrouded in scales, war knife in hand. He kicked the ground, surged forward, evaded the beast’s giant claw, and swung his knife towards its neck.

The beast twisted its head, its big tooth-filled mouth snapped at the war knife while its wings, sharp as a knife edge, slashed towards Lu Yan.

Lu Yan backed away, dodging the gaping mouth, and slashed his knife onto the beast’s wing.

Clang!

His knife hit as if it were against metal, causing sparks to fly. Lu Yan felt his palms tingle and his body involuntarily retreated several steps.

But the immortal beast also stumbled back, a deep inch-long mark appearing on its wing.

"It can be wounded."

Lu Yan’s eyes brightened up.

Although the strength of this immortal beast was incredibly formidable, far exceeding the average True Body First Refinement, it wasn’t invincible. He felt that he could suppress it.

Roar!

In response to its wound, the beast’s eyes turned vibrant red, and it charged at Lu Yan again.

This time, its body radiated a blue glow, and with a roar, it shot a blue blade of wind, as sharp as a divine weapon, towards Lu Yan.

At the same time, it flapped its wings, pouring out blue energy that transformed into dozens of blue wind blades howling towards Lu Yan.

Lu Yan waved his blade, successively obliterating more than a dozen wind blades, but he was still hit by two, one striking his chest and the other his arm.

But Lu Yan only felt a slight tremor in his body; he was otherwise unaffected.

The blue wind blades didn’t penetrate his defense, only leaving shallow marks on the red scales.

"Is that all you got?"

With his heart reassured, Lu Yan stopped using his inner strength for defense, going all out to attack the immortal beast.

The immortal beast kept launching blue wind blades. But Lu Yan ignored them, enduring the blades’ assault. With his formidable body refining martial arts, he charged to the beast’s side and slashed down with his blade.

Splat!

The blade sunk deep into the Immortal Beast’s neck, almost decapitating it.

Roar!

The immortal beast howled crazily, its blue energy exploding like a gale, rushing towards Lu Yan.

At the same time, its three tails swished forward, like three spears thrusting towards Lu Yan.

Lu Yan felt the danger from the sharp spikes on the tips of the three tails. He didn’t dare to be careless – ready to withdraw and step back.

But his war knife was stuck in the bone of the beast. Lu Yan tried to pull it out but couldn’t. He had no choice but to abandon the knife and retreat to avoid the beast’s ferocious attack.

Once again, he moved forward. His hands turned snowy white, continuously launching a flurry of strikes, fighting head-on with the giant claws of the beast.

Boom Boom!

Both the immortal beast and Lu Yan stumbled backward, then clashed again.

In a blink of an eye, they had exchanged tens of blows.

Gradually, a layer of white frost appeared on the claws and half the body of the beast, which caused its body to stiffen and slow down.

But the immortal beast was only a puppet after all, not a living entity.

If it were a living entity facing this situation, it would surely retreat proactively.

But the immortal puppet’s task was to defend this place and eliminate all living entities entering it. Hence, even when they knew they were outmatched, they would continue the attack, not retreating an iota.

Lu Yan started taking advantage of his superior agility, circling around the immortal beast for attacks. His Cold Magic Palm occasionally hit the beast’s body, causing the frost on the beast’s body to thicken, its movements becoming more and more rigid.
