Chapter 352: Chapter 350: Yin Light Shield What does thirteen thousand catties mean. For ordinary people practicing martial arts, the physical limit is ten thousand catties, and he is now thirteen times that limit. The iron corpses refined by the Daoists of the Corpse-Driving Sect using countless efforts often do not exceed thirty thousand catties in strength. Copper corpses are also difficult to exceed fifty thousand catties. Among the True Disciples, most possess iron corpses, while only a few have copper corpses. This means that if Lou Yi were to launch a surprise attack on these True Disciples, their trusted Lifebound Corpse wouldn’t be able to block even one move! The consequences can be imagined. And thirteen thousand catties is only Lou Yi’s basic strength. Due to the body’s breakthrough of limits, the Dragon-Pricking Acupoint also underwent inexplicable and peculiar changes, causing it to become effective again. Although it can’t double the strength like in the early stages, it can still increase by twenty to thirty percent, allowing Lou Yi’s instant power to reach around sixteen thousand catties. Moreover, combined with the Blood Feeding Spirit Transformation Technique and the innate Soul Devouring ability, Lou Yi himself doesn’t know how many catties of Extreme Strength he can achieve. After all, the Blood Shadow has devoured the essence blood of numerous insects, beasts, and birds during this period, and after expansion, its height can reach a yard. If the Blood Shadow burns to amplify strength, the power is certainly much stronger than when one person was high. Of course, due to a long accumulation, Lou Yi can’t bear to consume it during regular experiments. He’s only waiting for the next real combat to see which lucky person draws it. Due to the breakthrough in the realm of Mutated Martial Arts, advancing from a low-tier Anomaly to a mid-tier Anomaly. The cultivation method of mid-tier Anomalies is no longer absorbing the blue Qi-blood from the tumor on the shoulder, but finding a way to integrate it within the body, devouring and digesting, becoming indistinguishable. Although it doesn’t sound easy, it’s not simple to execute either. After all, the tumor is an unknown life form born from a peculiar object with autonomous consciousness, possessing strong exclusivity. Fortunately, Lou Yi has an Attribute Panel to directly advance progress, without spending too much effort himself. Moreover, after half a year of integration and interaction, the relationship between the tumor and Lou Yi’s body becomes increasingly close. The black snake shadow in the tumor occasionally takes a stroll in Lou Yi’s mind, conveying a sense of intimacy that the eagle couldn’t be bothered with. After reaching mid-tier Anomaly, the cultivation speed of the Demon Summoning Scripture greatly decreases, improving proficiency by one point a day, requiring six hundred days to advance to the next level. The level of mid-tier Anomaly is something even Feng Jiuyue has never reached, and as for high-tier Anomaly, it’s almost an ideal conception. Lou Yi has a premonition that if he can reach high-tier Anomaly, his strength might undergo a qualitative change. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎 It’s exciting to anticipate the extent to which he will progress. ... Not long after Lou Yi’s breakthrough in mid-tier Anomaly, his Immortal Realm also achieved a breakthrough. He looked at the Attribute Panel: Qi Cultivation Second Level (600/600) → Qi Cultivation Third Level (0/600) The Yin Vein, Yangwei Meridian, and Yin Qiao Meridian among the Eight Extraordinary Meridians in his body were completely opened, increasing the total amount of Spiritual Power to about double the previous amount. Some magic that couldn’t be cultivated before can now be started. For example, the defense magic that every disciple of the Corpse-Driving Sect can perform—the Yin Light Shield. The Yin Qi Arrow and Yin Light Shield, one attacking and one defending, can be said to be the most commonly used classic spells by disciples of the Corpse-Driving Sect. The Yin Qi Arrow can be cultivated starting from Qi Cultivation First Level. However, the Yin Light Shield requires a higher total amount of Spiritual Power and can scarcely be touched at Qi Cultivation Third Level. Lou Yi had comprehended it for a long time, and now with sufficient Spiritual Power, the Yin Light Shield showed the words "Not Initiated," along with a faint "+" sign. He did not hesitate to add points. Yin Light Shield (Not Initiated 0/20) → Yin Light Shield (Initiated 0/100) → Yin Light Shield (Proficient 0/500) → Yin Light Shield (Mastered 0/3000) → Yin Light Shield (Minor Achievement 0/20000) → Yin Light Shield (Great Success Level 0/150000) Rising all the way to Great Success Level, unable to further improve due to insufficient energy. In his mind, new memories emerged: Lou Yi transformed into an exceptionally gifted Yin Practitioner and at the same time was an heir of a major family, also apprenticing under the strongest Supreme Elder in the sect. With top-tier talent and abundant resources, his cultivation speed is like a rocket. Practicing Qi Cultivation at fifteen, Foundation Establishment at twenty-six, Golden Core at forty-two... breaking the fastest record in the cultivation realm over the past millennium! Since practicing Qi, he has enjoyed using the Yin Light Shield, this defense magic. So as his cultivation improves, the Yin Light Shield is continually improved and enhanced. Later, it became a miracle, able to rival other high-level spells of the same tier, leaving behind tales in the cultivation realm. After Lou Yi exited the memory, all kinds of realization from Qi Cultivation to Golden Core became blurred, leaving only the cultivation insight regarding the Yin Light Shield, etched clearly in his heart. At the same time, a large amount of refreshing energy appeared in the void, pouring into Lou Yi’s mind. The eagle chirped excitedly, continually devouring this energy. Its feather’s color became more vivid, the texture stronger, even the fine patterns on its claws became visible, and its size directly grew to eighteen feet. Even some scattered energy was secretly consumed by the black snake shadow in the tumor, solidifying its body significantly. ’Screech!’ The eagle became increasingly excited, continually gliding and flying in Lou Yi’s mind, even having a strong urge to fly out of his body. Unfortunately, a mysterious shackle in Lou Yi’s body limited it, preventing it from doing so. But Lou Yi has a premonition that as the eagle’s strength continues to grow, it will soon be able to advance further. ’Qi Cultivation middle-stage cultivators develop Spiritual Sense, able to control Magical Artifacts, while in the Foundation Establishment Stage, the sense evolves into Divine Sense, capable of External Release...’ If the eagle could fly out of the mind, would it be similar to the External Release of Divine Sense in the Foundation Establishment Stage? Lou Yi vaguely discovered that martial arts and the immortal path actually have many commonalities. "Yin Light Shield." As the Profound Yin Technique circulated, Spiritual Power continuously surged within the body, coupled with the rapid completion of complex hand gestures. In the void before Lou Yi, a suddenly appeared three-foot-tall, semi-transparent gray Light Shield, similar in size to a mortal world shield, with a thickness of about one centimeter, with numerous hexagonal honeycomb patterns on the surface. This Light Shield can change position at Lou Yi’s will, but it consumes a considerable amount of Spiritual Power, and at his current Qi Cultivation Third Level, he can only maintain it for ten breaths or so. Its defense is not uncommon, able to withstand one breath under Lou Yi’s External True Strength. This is quite difficult, considering Lou Yi’s External True Strength is comparable to top-tier Qi Cultivation magic. From now on, an extra layer of defense will be added to Lou Yi’s combat methods. ... Ancient Cultivator’s Secret Realm. "Wang Yuanjian, don’t push people too far!" "Weakness is original sin, insects are unworthy of existing in this world." In the boundless dark red sandy terrain, a red figure pursued several blue figures relentlessly, with a determination to eradicate them completely. ’Boom boom boom!’ Red flames and gray Yin Wind collided, causing a violent explosion. The aftermath of the explosion happened to touch an inconspicuous red object protruding from below the sand, causing it to suddenly light up, as if it had activated some switch. ’Boom!’ A massive red building shrouded in layers of mist slowly rose from the ground, with invisible grand waves spreading in all directions. "This is... the estate of the Ancient Cultivator has emerged!" exclaimed the red figure in delight, pausing the pursuit involuntarily. When he tried to approach the estate further. ’Puff!’ He spat a mouthful of blood, causing him to hastily fly backward, exiting the estate’s area. "Not good, it’s a new law suppression, late-stage Qi Refiners can’t stay here long... it’s estimated that mid-stage Qi Refiners, seniors and juniors, should come here to try!" the red figure said with fiery eyes looking at the estate, feeling extremely unwilling. ...
