Martial Master

Aside from crazily absorbing the true energy from the magic pool liquid, Qin Chen was continuously consuming one pill after another. These pills were for strengthening his cultivation, breaking through bottlenecks, and enhancing his physical body. Any pill that had an effect was swallowed by Qin Chen.

Because being at the Human Level Martial Venerable realm was incredibly frustrating for him.

Qin Chen's goal was not merely to search in this Martial Venerable region but to prepare to enter deeper areas. By then, he would encounter seven-level Martial Kings, and even figures like the ancestor Ding Qianqiu from the Da Qian Dynasty.

Right now, he could barely deal with a Blood Hand King. Once he encountered a master like Ding Qianqiu, he would have no power to resist and would be killed instantly.

This was something Qin Chen did not want to see.

Crash!

A large amount of strange true energy was crazily entering Qin Chen's body, enlarging his Qi Sea and meridians. At the same time, while absorbing the magic pool liquid, he also conjured many magic crystals in his hands, continuously absorbing them.

Crack! Crack!

The rich true energy within each magic crystal was rapidly absorbed by him, eventually transforming into white crystals that shattered into a pile of powder.

Compared to the true energy in the magic pool liquid, the true energy in the magic crystals was even more pure and easier to absorb.

As a massive amount of true energy flowed in, the Nine Star Divine Emperor Technique truly showcased its power at this moment. With enough pure true energy, Qin Chen could clearly feel his cultivation improving at a "visible speed," and this was not an exaggeration.

Half a day later, Qin Chen felt a sudden shock in his Qi Sea, accompanied by a wave of pain in his meridians. Then, with a crack, the true power in his Qi Sea became even denser in that instant.

The robust true power made Qin Chen's sense of strength more pronounced. A look of surprise appeared on his face; he knew he had broken through the peak of the late Human Level Martial Venerable and stepped into the Half-Step Martial King realm.

The Half-Step Martial King was a watershed moment in entering the Martial King realm.

The Martial King realm, unlike the previous Martial Venerable and Martial Sect realms, represented a transformation from pure power enhancement to a realm elevation.

To break through to the Martial King, a martial artist often needed to comprehend the essence of martial arts. Once the martial arts comprehension reached a certain level, they could subsequently break through.

This was an extremely long process; thus, many martial artists enter the so-called Half-Step Martial King realm. In this realm, the true power of Human Level Martial Venerables had already reached its peak, and they could only attempt to alter the structure of their true power, transforming it into even more terrifying true essence.

Moreover, in this realm, martial artists needed to continuously comprehend the essence of martial arts. Only when they reached a certain level in their martial arts comprehension would they naturally step into the Martial King realm.

For other martial artists, the Half-Step Martial King realm was a stage of transformation. But for Qin Chen, in his past life, he was a peak Martial Emperor. Whether in the composition of true essence or the comprehension of martial arts, he had already reached an astonishing level.

Therefore, in Qin Chen's view, the bottleneck that limited other martial artists simply did not exist for him.

So even knowing that cultivation was not an overnight success, Qin Chen did not pause after breaking through to the Half-Step Martial King. Instead, he conjured another large batch of magic crystals, continuing to practice in the magic pool liquid.

What he needed to do first was to elevate his true power to the utmost limit of the Half-Step Martial King.

Time passed by, and Qin Chen gradually entered a state of cultivating without external distractions. He did not know how long it had been, just continuously absorbing the true energy from the magic pool liquid and enhancing his cultivation.
