chapter 260 fighting against eight-temper bone forging

“die!”

that corrupt elder was a true bone forging expert on the same level as elder sun and the other monastery elders. he was incomparable to the second-rate elders of the bloodnet sect.

if long chen hadn’t advanced to the thirteenth heavenstage of blood condensation, that terrifying pressure would have made it impossible for him to move now.

tightly clenching devil decapitator, he calmed down a great deal. even against a true bone forging expert, he was still filled with battle intent.

“you can die instead!” long chen shouted. holding his saber with both hands, all his power was focused onto the tip of his saber as he viciously slashed it down on that corrupt elder.

boom!

the instant devil decapitator collided with that elder’s palm, long chen felt as if that elder’s bones were a kind of weapon, and he was sent flying back.

but that corrupt elder also suffered. under long chen’s attack, he was forced back a dozen steps. even a bone forging expert was unable to completely ignore long chen’s power.

“bone forging, bone forging, so that’s what it means! tempering your bones, making your bones harder than steel!”

long chen shook out his slightly numb arm, finally understanding the meaning behind bone forging.

qi condensation, blood condensation, tendon transformation, and bone forging. the first three realms were to increase the power of the flesh. only in the bone forging realm would the bones be strengthened. only then could you truly release the strength of the physical body.

what long chen didn’t know yet was that the bone forging realm required an extremely large amount of energy to temper their bones. those bone forging elders from the bloodnet sect were only able to temper a single bone.

if they were to attempt tempering more bones, the sect wouldn’t be able to handle the cost. more importantly, their talent was only average and so tempering more bones would just be a waste.

the bone forging realm was an extremely particular realm. it was up to each individual to decide how many bones they would temper.

only once they made that decision would they begin their tempering. but the more bones they decided to temper, the more powerful their physical bodies would become.

that was why long chen was able to easily kill that bloodnet sect elder. that was because those elders were all ‘one-temper’ bone forging experts.

if you only tempered one bone, then you would normally choose your forearm bone, the arm you wielded your weapon with.

that was normally the only choice for second-rate bone forging experts. that bone was the one that would increase their attack strength by the most.

as for this corrupt elder as well as the elders of other large sects, they had the benefit of many resources and were all ‘eight-temper’ bone forging experts.

they chose to temper two bones of both their arms, as well as two bones of both their legs. those were the main bones for strengthening them the most.

of qi condensation, blood condensation, tendon transformation, bone forging, and meridian opening, the bone forging realm was the one that exhausted the most resources.

this realm required an incredible amount of resources. with each increase in bones, the cost of tempering them would double.

that kind of terrifying consumption was something that even large sects could not ignore. that was why the majority of talented monastery disciples would all be sent to the xuantian supermonastery once they were about to enter the bone forging realm.

the ones who remained in the tendon transformation realm were like senior apprentice-brother wan and them. they could only work as law enforcers for the monastery, accumulating enough resources for the day they too entered the bone forging realm.

this was that bone forging elder’s strongest technique. he would normally never use it. but long chen was just too powerful, and the threat he posed to the corrupt path was too great.

he had to kill him before the righteous elders arrived to save him. if long chen managed to escape him, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

now that he had used his eight-temper body armor, his aura was so powerful that it caused others to tremble. taking a step forward, his withered hand slammed down at long chen.

even from dozens of meters away, long chen still felt a cold chill run through his bones. even before his attack had arrived, a terrifying pressure made it difficult for him to breathe. he felt as if he might explode.

“i can’t continue like this, or i’ll definitely die. time to bring out all my firepower.” long chen took a deep breath. his quickly circulating fengfu star came to a sudden stop, and a terrifying aura erupted from within his body, as if an ancient monster had awakened.

“fengfu battle armor!”

a star appeared within long chen’s eyes. the ground beneath his feet burst apart, and a ramrod pillar of qi soared into the sky.

his clothes fluttered and his long hair danced. because of long chen’s strength, the surrounding air was constantly twisting. the current long chen looked like a god of war, his eyes filled with disdain for all the world.

long chen’s saber buzzed and its runes lit up. like a heavenly blade, it hacked down on the bone forging elder’s palm.

boom!

devil decapitator heavily collided with that bone forging elder’s rune-covered hand. the ground split apart and the sky shook as a terrifying wave of qi shot out.

the corrupt disciples who were over a mile away directly exploded into little pieces just from that aftershock. that kind of power was too amazing.

“what?!” gui yan was completely shocked. he had never even dreamed that a blood condensation brat would be able to block an attack from an eight-temper bone forging expert. perhaps even yin luo, who was praised as a genius found once in a thousand years, was unable to do that.

that one exchange shook the entire heavens, and the clouds were completely blown away. the battlefield slowed down as everyone involuntarily turned to look at what had happened.

they saw long chen looking like a celestial deity, majestic and domineering without compare. he had actually managed to block one of the corrupt path’s elder’s full strength attacks.

even yin luo and mo nian who were fighting in the distance turned to look. mo nian smiled. no wonder i felt something strange when i looked at him. so he was actually hiding his strength.

back when he had first seen long chen, he had had a feeling that he was extremely special. but as for what was special about him, he was unable to tell. that was also why he had taken off his hood on that day and announced his name. that was a respect for a rare expert on his level.

looking at the distant long chen, killing intent surfaced in yin luo’s eyes. his golden spear shook and he turned to go personally kill long chen.

“do you really think that you can just come and go in front of me? since it seems like you do, i won’t hold back anymore!” mo nian suddenly roared, and a pair of translucent wings appeared on his back. those wings were ten meters long, graceful and elegant, looking like a water screen.

when those wings appeared, mo nian’s aura immediately became berserk. his bow shook and millions of golden lights flew at yin luo.

yin luo’s expression changed and his golden spear swept out before him. with an angry roar, a phantom appeared behind him, and a crazy energy soared to the heavens.

yin luo and mo nian had previously just been exchanging probing blows. that was because they could sense how strong the other was, and so they had to be cautious.

but having tested the other out for so long, they had finally lost their patience. they began to truly fight all-out in a decisive battle. their battle immediately escalated to a whole new level, and berserk energy continuously exploded out, shaking the sky.

as for long chen’s side, devil decapitator was still pressed against that bone forging elder’s hand, the two of them glaring at each other viciously.

“die!”
