Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 1023: Chu Yang's Purgatory 🔥

Published: March 8, 2025

Chu Yang has endured two months of hellish days!

In these two months, Chu Yang fought against Zixie Qing over three hundred times! Each time, he was squeezed of every last ounce of strength, to the extent that he didn’t even have the energy to blink.

In the early battles, Zixie Qing underestimated him, constantly using words to provoke him, but later on, Zixie Qing stopped talking.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to speak; rather, she found herself unable to express it!

Zixie Qing's life is incredibly long! Throughout her life, she has encountered countless talented individuals! To speak honestly, even though Chu Yang has the connection with the Nine Calamity Sword Master, compared to other geniuses from different realms, he is still slightly lacking.

Zixie Qing remembered a young man with a heavenly demon bloodline, who, after the awakening of his bloodline, made an instant leap from an ordinary person, crossing the gap between mortals and immortals overnight!

However, that was the power of bloodline inheritance, not of the individual himself.

At least, someone as desperate as Chu Yang before her was a first in Zixie Qing's life. Such intense battles, while devoid of life-threatening risks, left Zixie Qing aware of the unbearable discomfort of complete exhaustion!

She was utterly worn out! Exhausted to the point where she couldn’t even open her mouth to drink water, her muscles completely refusing to respond to her commands!

This feeling was worse than death!

Most people would probably reflect on their entire lives after enduring it once.

Enduring it several times consecutively might even drive one to madness!

But Chu Yang endured at least four times a day! After each bout, he would rest for a moment, recover, and then immediately start the next fight, cursing all the while!

Zixie Qing was touched!

She, high and mighty, possessed extraordinary power! Initially, she followed Chu Yang merely for his dao realm power! Nothing more.

She was always prepared to leave, waiting for the dao realm power to accumulate enough before departing, with no attachment whatsoever.

The fortune-telling old man's words, “It’s better to cherish the person in front of you,” had never stirred a ripple in Zixie Qing's heart. She considered it nonsense.

But at this moment, she was truly and deeply moved!

Moved by Chu Yang's efforts!

Such efforts, even with her current physique, Zixie Qing knew she couldn’t replicate! If she had to endure the same torment as Chu Yang did for two uninterrupted months, she feared she would have already collapsed.

At this moment, she genuinely felt a hint of admiration for the boy before her!

Everything needs balance!

But Chu Yang was purely relentless!

This cruel training seemed to unleash his endless potential, and he persisted unwaveringly, perfectly, and wholeheartedly! Not a hint of slackness.

If two months ago, Chu Yang was a mere block of common iron; now, he had been forged into a sharp sword, gleaming with cold light!

Every battle over these two months was like a colossal hammer, mercilessly smashing down and stripping away every bit of dross from the raw iron, continuously purifying it.

Now, he had become a peerless divine edge!

When drawn, the winds and clouds would shift!

However, during this time, Chu Yang seemed to have inherited Nangong Shifeng's flaw: a sharp tongue! Especially during fights, his mouth was even more foul.

Zixie Qing felt embarrassed to attack him verbally; he was the one who grew more vigorous!

“Bring it on!” Chu Yang swayed, spitting a mouthful of saliva: “I really don’t believe it, I’m a big man, can’t handle you, a little girl!”

“Let’s fight again!” Chu Yang huffed: “Today, I must conquer you, little girl!”

“Come if you dare!” Chu Yang squinted: “Beauty, come loosen up my muscles.”

“Girl, if you have the guts, hit harder…”

“Little girl! One day, my cultivation level will surpass yours, and when that time comes, just wait! If I don’t handle you, I won’t be surnamed Chu! Ah~~~” followed by a scream.
