Chapter 38: The Eighth Level of Qi Gong

"The Heavenly Snake Silk Hand" is one of the Chen family's ultimate techniques, a supreme qi gong. Once used, the true qi forms into silk and becomes a spiritual snake, entangling and binding the enemy, penetrating to the bone marrow, capable of overcoming all true qi and martial arts.

Everyone could see the white silk threads seeping out into the air, and amidst the silk, spiritual snakes danced wildly, using their resilience and suppleness to try to put Yang Qi to death.

The true strength of the Ninth Level Qi Master, Chen Tianxiong, was revealed.

A human-shaped true qi blocked in front of his true body, transforming in myriad ways, demonic-like.

This was the ability of the "Hundred-Handed Demon."

Under his control, the true qi truly became demonic and ghostly, making it impossible to guard against.

Yang Qi felt that his "Spear of the Nether God" encountered immense resistance. A long spear, entangled by true qi, weighed as much as ten thousand catties, his arms aching, unable to lift it, as if it were about to be taken away.

"Divine Elephant!"

Although Yang Qi encountered entanglement, he was not the least bit afraid. The power in his body surged again, the strength of seven ancient elephants erupted, all converging on the Spear of the Nether God.

Buzz.

On the Spear of the Nether God, the singing of devils appeared, the soft and decadent sounds from hell.

This sound was sharp, bewildering, fierce, and full of killing intent, carrying an unparalleled will to destroy, like a thousand troops and ten thousand horses charging forward.

Rip! A loud sound echoed, all the silk and spiritual snakes were extinguished under the spear, and a fierce black flame burned on the spear, the result of the Spear of the Nether God reaching its peak, producing a qi gong flame. It burned everything, destroyed everything, with the will to annihilate contained within.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle... Chen Tianxiong's true qi was reduced to ashes under this flame.

The human-shaped true qi shrank by half.

"What kind of qi gong is this? It's not just a King-level qi gong, but something that surpasses it? Could it be an Emperor-level qi gong?" Chen Tianxiong was greatly shocked, and then a greedy look appeared on his face: "Boy, a man without virtue is not guilty, but a man with virtue is. You actually possess such a qi gong. If it spreads, everyone in the world will kill you! All Chen family experts, listen to my command, set up the Demon Trapping Qi Gong Array, capture this boy alive, and force him to reveal his qi gong cultivation method!"

An Emperor-level qi gong, even the Ninth Level Qi Master Chen Tianxiong could not resist, and he was about to launch an attack.

He had already seen that Yang Qi was not easy to defeat, and if he insisted on fighting, he might end up bleeding on the spot. Moreover, the boy possessed a qi gong beyond the King level, an endless wealth.

"What? A qi gong beyond the King level? How is that possible? This qi gong is only found in the major academies, an Emperor-level qi gong."

"An Emperor-level qi gong, its appearance will surely shock the continent, causing the entire Fertile Continent to tremble."

"What kind of fortune has this boy encountered? How did he obtain an Emperor-level qi gong?"

"If it's an Emperor-level qi gong, there's nothing to say. It's normal for our Chen family to be wiped out. Even in the major academies, an Emperor-level qi gong is a closely guarded secret."

"Obtaining an Emperor-level qi gong, if our Chen family cultivates for ten years and then re-emerges, we will definitely be one of the top noble families on the Fertile Continent, and no one will be able to boss us around. We can even establish an independent imperial dynasty."

"Surround this boy, don't let him die. Capture him. Then Elder Tianxiong will use qi gong hypnosis to force out the secrets of the Emperor-level qi gong from his body." ...

With these words, all the Chen family elders went mad.

What is an Emperor-level qi gong?

On the Fertile Continent, qi gong is divided into lower, middle, upper, King, Emperor, Saint, Heaven, and God levels.

Ordinary noble families have upper-level qi gong, and the main techniques of major sects are King-level. An Emperor-level qi gong is a world-shaking, unparalleled technique. If anyone obtains it, they can instantly rise to the heavens, and reaching the Life Seizing Realm is not a problem.

Chen Tianxiong, the Qi Master, is well-versed and has been famous in the martial world for sixty years. He could definitely see that Yang Qi's qi gong surpassed the King level and was an Emperor-level qi gong.

"Kill!"

More than twenty elders roared in unison, each releasing their qi gong.

This was the Chen family's elder council, a reservoir of strength, each a master of the Eighth Level of qi gong, otherwise they would not have the qualifications to be elders.

The weakest among them had sixty years of cultivation.

Each person's qi gong was "out of the ordinary," releasing their true qi, forming an eight-trigram pattern in the sky, slowly rotating, then enveloping everything, almost covering the entire mountain.

The trees made cracking sounds, and the rocks and soil on the ground turned to dust, with dust flying everywhere.

This was the "Demon Trapping Array," a technique where a family's qi gong experts combine their true qi to form a joint attack to capture a world-shaking demon.

The combined efforts of more than twenty Eighth Level qi gong experts, including one Ninth Level Qi Master, were no small matter.

Generally, even a Seventh Level qi gong expert, no matter how strong, would die in the Demon Trapping Array. The battle would have no suspense.

Unfortunately, Yang Qi was a freak. The "Divine Elephant Sealing Hell" he cultivated was not just an Emperor-level qi gong but a "God-level qi gong," a technique for celestial deities, not for humans.

Moreover, he had the life essence left by a mysterious senior in his body.

The greater the pressure, the more potential he could unleash. He could not be judged by normal standards.

His miracles broke the ordinary person's understanding.

When the violent qi of the "Demon Trapping Array" pressed down, Yang Qi was not the least bit afraid but was filled with excitement.

Suddenly, he let out a roar.

Like a thousand elephants roaring together, the thunderous elephants in his body moved again, creating vortexes around his body. These vortexes carried the smell of hell's sulfur and even the scent of molten lava.

"Suppress him!"

An elder of the Chen family, Chen Tianzhen, an old woman with white hair and chicken skin, her voice sharp, looked at Yang Qi, who dared to unleash his power to resist the attack of so many experts, and her face twisted in anger. Her qi gong surged out, spreading into the air, carrying a thick toxic gas.

This was no longer the Chen family's qi gong but the Shadow Poison Sect's technique.

"Great Snake Emerges from Water!"

Another elder roared, grabbing with a large hand, the qi power like a mountain, creating a tumultuous force. The true qi turned into a hammer, wherever it struck, sparks flew from the rocks, as if an ancient giant spirit were splitting mountains and rocks.

Bang, bang, bang...

All these attacks landed on Yang Qi's body.

His black light shield, the Nether God's protection, rippled, cracks appearing on it, and his true qi was greatly consumed. Although he cultivated a God-level qi gong, he was not a deity. To resist more than twenty Eighth Level qi gong experts, including one Ninth Level Qi Master, was something only a deity could do.

Pant, pant!

He panted.

"This boy can't hold on."

"Suppress him again!"

These elders all smiled, but their expressions remained cruel and vicious. Seeing the Emperor-level qi gong about to be in their hands, they were naturally cruel and excited.

"I transform into a divine elephant, sweeping through the stars, swallowing the sun and moon, I seal hell, becoming a furnace, stepping on the Nether God!" Yang Qi suddenly burst out with a world-shaking roar.

Under the immense pressure, his life potential erupted again. The power of the attacks on his body seeped into his meridians and struck the qi sea, the thunderous elephant.

The life essence of the thunderous elephant was released in large quantities, all injected into the eighth micro-particle.

As long as the life essence of the thunderous elephant remained, Yang Qi's potential was infinite. Any attack on his body would stimulate his life essence, making him progress. This was his only reliance for daring to come alone to assassinate so many experts.

So many experts, even if Yang Zhan or Yan Gufeng were here, they would have to flee or be beaten to death. But they became the targets for Yang Qi to practice, breaking through in life and death.

Crack!

The eighth micro-particle awakened again.

One after another, the ninth and tenth micro-particles also awakened.

Three micro-particles awakened in succession, and the power of three ancient elephants was injected into the meridians, merging with the power of the other seven ancient elephants, making a total of ten.

The qi gong was incredibly profound.

At the same time, Yang Qi's body was transformed again, the qi gong penetrating into his blood. Closing his eyes and looking inward, he could see that his Divine Elephant Sealing Hell qi gong had combined with his blood, which now had a faint golden color, no longer the bright red. The golden color symbolized nobility, dignity, and majesty, even immortality.

Ordinary people cultivating qi gong can change their physical constitution, but not to such an obvious extent. Only by comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth, and suddenly striving to seize life, reaching the "Life Seizing Realm," could one gradually transform the body with qi gong.

Otherwise, at most, the body would become stronger.

Even Qi Masters like Yang Zhan and Yan Gufeng had only average physical strength.

But now, Yang Qi defied this common knowledge. If a "Life Seizing Realm" expert were to see him now, they would notice that his body was gradually transforming into something beyond human.

Only a strong physical body could accommodate more true qi.

The power of ten ancient elephants had completely surpassed the Qi Master level, even surpassing Yan Gufeng. The qi gong in Yang Qi's body vibrated, producing the sounds of earth, water, fire, wind, and thunder. His blood burned, his true qi boiled, his will condensed, his body changed, everything was seizing the mysteries of heaven and earth, comprehending the secrets of the sun and moon.

From hell to heaven.

The quantity of qi gong finally accumulated to a certain level, and Yang Qi's qi gong underwent a qualitative change, like a chain reaction. The true qi crystallized again and suddenly dispersed, transforming into a gas that combined with the soul and mind.

Eighth Level of Qi Gong, Qi Transformation Realm.

Out of the ordinary.

Out of the ordinary.
