Chapter 1705 (Raw 1717): Preparing to Break Through

Inside the fathomless valley, the thirty-kilometer-tall Buddha statue turned to dust. A light soared towards the sky from below.

Yang Qing, who had been absorbing the Sarasvatī Buddha’s power of faith, threw a palm strike at the Holy Son Ming Xuan before she landed.

Carrying an invasive chill, the palm wind arrived before the Holy Son Ming Xuan in the blink of an eye.

The Holy Son Ming Xuan did not have time to think. He simply countered with a palm strike.

“Boom!”

The two palms met, and Yang Qing repelled the Holy Son Ming Xuan without moving at all. After she absorbed the Sarasvatī Buddha’s power of faith, her strength had grown remarkably.

“What a strong palm strike!” The Holy Son Ming Xuan staggered a few steps back before he barely managed to stabilize his body, shock writ large on his face.

After suffering Xiao Chen’s Breaking the Mundane, the Holy Son Ming Xuan was clearly injured and could not drive much of his Veritable Essence Energy to clash with Yang Qing.

Yang Qing did not retreat, moving forward instead. She emanated terrifying Buddhist Might, and a thirty-kilometer-tall image of the Sarasvatī Buddha floated behind her, making her look mighty without being enraged.

When the dreadful pressure swept over, the injured Ming Xuan found it unbearable.

“This...”

It had been many years since Ming Xuan had felt like that when facing someone of the same generation. This was truly surprising. What exactly happened? This girl who was not even worth a mention suddenly became remarkably stronger.

There was actually even a vague hint of the might of a Star Venerate, which caught him off guard.

Ming Xuan’s expression immediately turned grave. The Buddhist prayer beads gave off a resplendent iridescent light, and a black lotus bloomed under his feet. Then, a huge black Buddha image appeared behind him.

“Bang!” There was another clash of palms. The two were equal. Of the Buddha images behind them, one appeared stern and dignified while the other was malevolent. The fight between the two was intense.

However, the Holy Son Ming Xuan was injured in the first place. A clash of such intensity immediately aggravated the wound on his chest.

The Seven Deadly Sins was still stuck in the Holy Son Ming Xuan’s chest. The saber intent in it lingered without scattering, continuously assaulting his meridians and internal organs.

What was worse was the principle of Breaking the Mundane. That saber strike severed the most cherished memory in his heart.

The pain in his heart was extreme, reaching all the way to his soul, a strange sense of loss and grief that lingered for a long time.

The mundane was hard to give up; lingering thoughts were hard to eliminate. No matter how strong a person’s physical body was, the human heart was made of flesh.

Yang Qing drifted back gently with a grave expression. Unexpectedly, despite such severe injuries, the Holy Son Ming Xuan still could forcefully clash with her like that.

If the other party was not injured, even if Yang Qing’s true body were here, she would have to spend a lot of effort before she could defeat the other party.

Yang Qing did not have much time to think. She shouted coldly and charged over again.

After clashing three more times, the Holy Son Ming Xuan finally could no longer endure. Blood continuously spilled out from the wound on his chest caused by the Seven Deadly Sins.

“Drip! Drip!” The blood fell on the ground.

Xiao Chen struggled to his feet after much difficulty. His expression was one of receiving a stroke of luck. Fortunately, Yang Qing appeared at this crucial moment.

Otherwise, the consequences would really have been too horrible to contemplate.

While Xiao Chen still had some trump cards, he was grievously injured. He could not execute them. If he tried, the consequences would be dire. Without the other party needing to make a move, he would probably still die.

The Holy Son Ming Xuan’s strength was truly unexpected. This was especially so for his strange physical body. Xiao Chen wondered how he cultivated it.

“Let’s go.”

Yang Qing knew to quit while she was ahead. After forcing the Holy Son Ming Xuan back, she did not press the attack. With a flash, she returned and quickly brought Xiao Chen away.

“Damn it!”

Rage burned in the Holy Son Ming Xuan’s eyes. Frustration appeared on his face for the first time. He had not anticipated such a result at all.

This was something that should have been in the bag. To think that something unexpected like this happened. The Holy Son Ming Xuan had never let anything slip by him. Even when facing a Star Venerate, he could leave easily without losing his graceful bearing.

However, today, the insignificant Xiao Chen actually managed to injure him—significantly injure, at that.

That unremarkable woman strangely and suddenly became strong. This was not logical.

“Crack!”

The Holy Son Ming Xuan pulled out the Seven Deadly Sins stuck in his chest. As if venting his anger, he used his full force and snapped the saber in half, then furiously tossed it to the ground.

However, the Seven Deadly Sins had been through special refinement. It was not an ordinary weapon. After breaking, it immediately separated.

The saber turned into seven different colored lights flying towards Xiao Chen without appearing damaged.

“Damn it!” the Holy Son Ming Xuan roared and vented all of his rage and dissatisfaction with his feet, stomping heavily on the ground.

Cracks appeared on the cliff as it trembled. The cracks spread downwards, the cliff looking like it would break off at any moment.

The Holy Son Ming Xuan swept his eyes around and saw that insensible white cat. A murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and his expression instantly turned cold.

Who knew, when this white cat felt the Holy Son Ming Xuan’s gaze, it immediately stood up and nimbly ran off in the direction of Xiao Chen and Yang Qing.

It turned out that it had woken up long ago and was just pretending to be unconscious.

“Interesting!”

After venting his frustration, the Holy Son Ming Xuan calmed down, regaining his warm expression. Then, he closed his eyes and started to treat his injuries on the spot.

This matter was urgent. Clearly, the Holy Son Ming Xuan was extraordinarily brave, and he was rushing to return to peak condition.

The Holy Son Ming Xuan reevaluated Xiao Chen’s strength, wanting to find him, then capture him at lightning speed.

The Demonic Bone ?arīra...This is something that will have repercussions on the Black Lotus Church, able to shake all the Buddhist sects of the Great Thousand Realms. I must complete the mission that Master gave me.

—

Yang Qing moved quickly, carrying Xiao Chen the whole way. After descending the mountain and traveling for two hours, she relaxed when she saw that the Holy Son Ming Xuan had not given chase.

There was no need for the two to be polite with each other. Xiao Chen asked, “You did not finish absorbing the power of faith?”

Xiao Chen felt that she had come too soon. It would be difficult to absorb all of the Sarasvatī Buddha’s power of faith within such a short time.

Yang Qing nodded and smiled faintly. “It couldn’t be helped. That Holy Son Ming Xuan is too strong. If I had continued to absorb it at my leisure, Young Master Xiao, you would be dead.”

Xiao Chen felt guilty in his heart. In his life, he rarely needed girls to rescue him. He asked, “Where are you going next?”

A look of reluctance flashed in Yang Qing’s eyes, a somewhat complicated expression appearing on her face. “I forcefully took all of the Sarasvatī Buddha’s power of faith into my body. In a while, I will explode and die.”

“Ah!”

Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly as he looked at the other party with incredulity. He truly could not accept this.

Yang Qing smiled and said, “Don’t be shocked. Even if I did not forcefully take it into my body, after I absorbed the power of faith, I would choose to sacrifice myself. It was just a matter of time. How unfortunate! I originally wanted to remain a little longer. However, now, it can’t be helped—”

“Bang!”

Right after Yang Qing said that, her body exploded. However, there was no blood or bones. Instead, she turned into a clump of nine-colored spiritual energy containing dense Buddhist light. It flew into the sky and disappeared.

This caught Xiao Chen off guard. After being stunned for a long time, he recovered his wits.

The two were just chatting, and Yang Qing exploded all of a sudden and left. This was somewhat unacceptable.

Xiao Chen looked up at the sky and entered deep thought. He did not know if he would have an opportunity to see Yang Qing’s true body in the future.

However, there should be a big difference between the emanation body and the true body. Xiao Chen thought for a while and figured that it was still best not to interact with a girl who dared to cultivate an emanation body. It would definitely be someone both good and bad at the same time.

Perhaps, it might even be someone completely evil.

—

Behind the temple at the Buddha Seeking Platform, the Holy Son Ming Xuan opened his eyes and saw that clump of nine-colored energy streaking through the sky.

After some shock, the Holy Son Ming Xuan revealed an expression of understanding. So, it was the Azure Lotus Holy Daughter’s emanation body. No wonder...no wonder. That is a famous expert in the Great Thousand Realms.

Exceptionally hard to deal with...

However, since you spoiled my plans, I will repay this sooner or later, even if you are the Azure Lotus Holy Daughter!

—

On the other side, Xiao Chen still felt that he was not that safe. He rushed on alone and found a secluded place, then set up a simple formation before relaxing.

Right now, he had only one thing to do: quietly make a breakthrough!

In that earlier battle, Xiao Chen broke his bottleneck. If not for being too injured earlier, he could have broken through the limits of the Veritable Personage Realm on the spot.

He closed his eyes and swallowed a Medicinal Pill for treating wounds, which Ye Zifeng had given him.

The Medicinal Pill promptly melted in Xiao Chen’s mouth. A refreshing sensation spread throughout his body. The wounds all over his body immediately started healing.

Naturally, a Medicinal Pill from Ye Zifeng would not be lousy.

Shortly after, due in part to Xiao Chen’s strong physical body, his injuries had mostly recovered.

“It’s time to break through!”

Xiao Chen opened his eyes. He had been waiting for this day for too long. However, when the time truly came, he was very calm.
