Chapter 55

The attacks of these rampaging apes left shallow blue bruises on Ye Xiwén's body, but within a few breaths, these bruises disappeared entirely.

Ye Xiwén's ** is truly formidable!

Ye Xiwén turned around and threw another punch, killing a rampaging ape alive.

One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

"Bang!" Ye Xiwén condensed his palm into a fist, and with one strike, the air trembled.

"Boom!" Another strike, and a loud explosion echoed, with countless true qi bursting forth.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Clang!" A sound like a long sword being drawn from its scabbard burst out.

A foot-long blade of energy shot out from Ye Xiwén's palm!

Slash!

Stab!

Chop!

Slice!

...

One simple blade technique after another was displayed by Ye Xiwén's hands. Each move could kill a rampaging ape, and these mighty apes at the Ninth Level of the Afterbirth Realm were no match for Ye Xiwén.

Ye Xiwén guessed that his combat strength was between the Afterbirth and the Innate realms, what is known as the half-step Innate state.

And now, Ye Xiwén was constantly pushing this boundary. If he could break through, he could even contend with the Innate realm.

His current physical strength had already reached the power of ninety-nine fierce tigers, almost reaching its peak. He was now continuously using various external forces to temper his body, aiming to break through to the power of a flying dragon.

Ye Xiwén's relentless slaughter finally provoked the rage of the Rampaging Ape King. A fire-colored ape with a body covered in long, fiery red fur stared at Ye Xiwén with bloodshot eyes and a fierce expression, pounding its massive, hammer-like fists, each strike creating layers of fiery waves.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Ye Xiwén focused his mind and energy, striking out with each palm, each strike directly exploding the air, producing a sharp and piercing sound.

"Roar!" The Rampaging Ape King struck Ye Xiwén's chest with a punch, causing Ye Xiwén to spit out a mouthful of blood. He then kicked out with a lightning-fast kick, directly hitting the Rampaging Ape King's belly.

"Clang!" It was like kicking a steel plate. Even with Ye Xiwén's terrifying strength, this kick made him feel instantly numb, while the Rampaging Ape King only took a few steps back.

This was not the first time Ye Xiwén had faced this Rampaging Ape King. The first time, he almost died at its hands. This Rampaging Ape King had already taken one and a half steps into the Innate realm, only half a step away from fully entering it.

A beast of this level was equivalent to being half-transformed into the Innate realm, incredibly terrifying, and could easily deal with half-step Innate level opponents.

Only then did Ye Xiwén truly feel how terrifying Innate experts were. Previously, Luo Tian was killed by him because Luo Tian had already been severely injured by Huameng Han, and was extremely weak. Otherwise, the one who would have died that day would have been himself.

Since then, Ye Xiwén has been finding this terrifying giant ape to fight every day. If Ye Xiwén were just an ordinary peak Ninth Level Afterbirth expert, he would have been directly shattered by this terrifying giant ape with one punch.

However, at this moment, the *Bodhi Body Technique* displayed its terrifying power. Ye Xiwén's body, though slender, contained explosive strength.

Now, although Ye Xiwén was much weaker than the Rampaging Ape King, as long as one punch didn't directly shatter him, he could take a pill and continue fighting.

Ye Xiwén's punches and kicks were almost without any flair, exchanging blows with the Rampaging Ape King. Previously, even using his full strength, it was difficult for Ye Xiwén to move the Rampaging Ape King's massive body, but now, one kick could make the Rampaging Ape King retreat several steps.

In this short period of ten days, Ye Xiwén's progress was almost immeasurable. His strength rapidly improved through the process of being beaten to the point of spitting blood and then healing again, finally reaching the threshold of the Eighth Level of the Afterbirth realm, just one step away from the Ninth Level, and his strength was about to break through to the power of a flying dragon.

Ye Xiwén instantly drew the long sword from his back, emitting a brilliant light, and a long blade of energy instantly slashed out, heading towards the Rampaging Ape King.

The Rampaging Ape King immediately struck out with a wave of fire, but the fire wave was instantly cut through by the blade of energy, directly piercing into the Rampaging Ape King's hammer-like fist, cutting a deep, bone-visible wound into its iron-like fist, blood flowing profusely.

"Roar!" The Rampaging Ape King immediately roared in pain, its eyes becoming even more savage, and countless flames erupted from the fine blood vessels all over its body, like a volcanic eruption. The originally fire-red Rampaging Ape King transformed into a flaming Rampaging Ape.

The Rampaging Ape King's flaming fists came at him with the wind, moving extremely fast. Ye Xiwén calmed his mind, focusing only on this Rampaging Ape King. Suddenly, the Rampaging Ape King's movements seemed to slow down in Ye Xiwén's eyes.

"Boom!" Something inside Ye Xiwén's body seemed to explode, and the strength that had not moved for a long time suddenly broke through.

The *Bodhi Body Technique* suddenly began to run wildly.

The ninety-nine tigers' strength, which originally existed as ninety-nine separate forces in Ye Xiwén's body, now began to coalesce into a single, powerful force, no longer scattered but concentrated.

"Boom!" In that instant, the first level of the *Bodhi Body Technique* finally broke through to the minor completion stage, reaching the power of a flying dragon.

A faint dragon's roar echoed from within Ye Xiwén's body.

Ye Xiwén suddenly opened his eyes, his aura surging, and he kicked out.

"Boom!" Ye Xiwén's kick hit the Rampaging Ape King solidly again, but this time, the terrifying force made the Rampaging Ape King fly backward, rolling to the side.

However, Ye Xiwén did not intend to continue the pursuit. The true qi in his body began to stir, and the Grand Circulation continuously moved.

Ye Xiwén knew he was about to break through.

Ye Xiwén continuously condensed the true qi in his body. There was already a trace of innate true qi in his body, which now served as a guide, with countless true qi attaching to it and being converted into innate true qi.

It was unknown how long it took, like countless years or just a few seconds, but one-tenth of the true qi in Ye Xiwén's body had been converted into innate true qi.

"Boom!"

His realm directly broke through to the Ninth Level of the Afterbirth realm.

Ye Xiwén immediately laughed heartily. He had finally broken through. As the Rampaging Ape King charged at him again, a flash of light appeared in Ye Xiwén's eyes, and with a flash of the long sword, the originally mighty Rampaging Ape King was split into two halves by the blade.
