Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

After pondering, he immediately sent out a message, beginning to summon nearby allies of the Ten Thousand Realms.

The energy signature of a powerful being is hard to conceal. If too many people responded to the call, it was very likely they would be detected by the Immortal Alliance, leading to unpredictable upheaval with far-reaching consequences.

But now, he could no longer care about all that. At this moment, at any cost, he had to kill the man before him to eliminate future troubles!

At the very moment the message went out, Chu Zheng, who had been fleeing in madness, suddenly stopped, turned around to face Qi Yun, his eyes filled with rampant killing intent, no longer holding back.

The instant Qi Yun summoned reinforcements, the Tribulation Qi around him that seemed to neither rise nor fall finally began to surge, stepping into the realm of his destined tribulation.

Having begun the tribulation, there was no avoiding it, and he no longer needed to have so many concerns.

Seeing Chu Zheng suddenly stop, Qi Yun's expression froze for a moment, but he did not pause. The Ancient War Halberd he had been tightly gripping swept across the void, aiming straight for Chu Zheng's head.

The War Halberd was sharp beyond compare, carrying with it overwhelming energy fluctuations, slicing through vast expanses of the void, its murderous intent bone-chilling.

"Hu——"

Chu Zheng slowly exhaled a breath of Turbid Qi, and with a thought, the Wood Element Primordial Qi inside of him boiled over, his Immortal Blood surged into his heart.

Inside his Dantian, the Fire Element Immortal Root stirred slightly, and the Jade Qilin, transformed from the Fire Seed of the Indestructible Sky Kirin Fire resting on the Fire Element Immortal Root, leaped joyously. It burst out from the Dantian, along with the surging Immortal Blood, straight into Chu Zheng's heart.

Boom——

In an instant, for thousands of miles around, Heavenly Fire scorched the sky, the void collapsed, melting into one with the celestial flames.

Spurt!

Chu Zheng's head was severed by the War Spear, his Immortal Blood had just gushed out when it was swept back by the rumbling heartbeat, his injuries healed instantly, his decapitated head reattached.

A red flame ignited at Chu Zheng's heart, and within his Dantian, the Green Jade Tree, transformed from the Wood Element Immortal Root, quivered lightly, exuding a gentle green glow, nourishing the flame ignited at Chu Zheng's heart.

At the same time, a terrifying surge of Qi descended from the heavens into Chu Zheng's body, causing the Fire Element Immortal Root to swell. The flame burning at his heart grew more and more intense.

"Crossing the Fire Tribulation?!"

Qi Yun's face underwent a drastic change, having not anticipated that Chu Zheng, who had previously lacked even the courage to exchange blows, would dare to take such a huge risk and undergo tribulation right before him.

The surrounding Heavenly Fire benefitted only the person undergoing the tribulation; for other living creatures, it posed a calamitous assault.

The battle armor around Qi Yun turned red-hot in an instant, almost melting, his skin felt scorching, and soon after, a burnt smell wafted in the air.

His eyes suddenly filled with a fierce light. Without retreating an inch, blood filled the Heavenly Eye on his forehead, a halo shone around each of the Eight Gates surrounding him, and his charred flesh restored to its original state. Layers of scabs peeled off, revealing skin as hard as jade.

The Eight Gates Heavenly Locking Dao required successively unlocking the gates of Heaven, Earth, Qi, Blood, Wind, Fire, Sinew, and Bone. With all eight gates open, one possessed the unpredictable power of gods and demons, a genuine method of tempering the physique, akin to the Martial Path, with combat prowess far from ordinary.

The only downside, similar to the Martial Path, was that battling depleted one's life force and cut short one's lifespan.

In the state with all Eight Gates open, an ordinary cultivator at the Eighth Order Third Layer was no match for Qi Yun.

At this moment, he no longer cared for his own longevity, pushing his state to the limit, using his physique to withstand the refining Heavenly Fire. Holding the War Spear, he advanced with large strides toward Chu Zheng.

With each step he took, his battle armor was thoroughly melted by the Heavenly Fire into molten metal, which trickled down his skin, leaving behind mottled red marks.

Chu Zheng's face was flushed and his eyes were ablaze. Within the depths of his pupils, star-like fires seemed to burn brightly. The instant the Heart Fire ignited, a more tumultuous killing intent surged in his heart, and his circulating blood became much more violent.

He received all the incoming Fire Element Primordial Qi without hesitation and then, without a moment's delay, activated the Great Divine Power, Law of Heaven and Earth.

In an instant, his form began to swell massively. By the time Qi Yun reached his side, he had already grown to a height of a million zhang, his features vague and indistinct, hinting at a ghostly visage with green faces and fierce fangs.

"Law of Heaven and Earth, a Great Divine Power of the Qi Refining Lineage, how could you?!"

Qi Yun's face stiffened, his eyes flooding with astonishment.

Law of Heaven and Earth, this Great Divine Power, was a trump card of the Qi Refining Lineage, available only to a very few inheritors of Dao Lords, central to the core secret techniques that could greatly enhance combat prowess within a short period.

Such a secret technique could not possibly fall into the hands of an Immortal Alliance cultivator, nor could it be propelled by immortal power. These were two completely different paths; how could they come together?!

But at this moment, the reality was right before his eyes, leaving no room for disbelief.

The consumption of "Law of Heaven and Earth" was extremely severe; even with the repair panel at his disposal, Chu Zheng couldn't maintain it for long. Only now, by harnessing the Primordial Qi imparted by the Fire Tribulation, could he hold out a little longer.

He took a deep breath, and before Qi Yun could contemplate further, Chu Zheng already raised his hand, and a gigantic palm that obscured the sky suddenly pressed down.

Ka-ka-ka—

The void that had collapsed under the melting of Heavenly Fire once again let out a series of mournful creaks.

The palm imprint, enveloped in Heavenly Fire, was a shade of crimson, like a collapsing pillar of heaven, bearing down on Qi Yun.

With no escape, Qi Yun could only raise his hand to brace himself, his War Spear crossing the void and once again unleashing a ray of divine light.

But given the massive disparity in size, this strike was akin to an ant shaking a great tree, utterly lacking any sense of threat.

Boom!

The divine light shattered, and the descending palm imprint rolled over Qi Yun without the slightest pause.

In the moment of the Fire Tribulation, Chu Zheng's cultivation had stepped into the realm of the Second Tribulation True Immortal. Bolstered by "Law of Heaven and Earth," the power he could wield now far exceeded Qi Yun by more than tenfold.

In an instant, blood surged like waves, and Qi Yun was crushed tens of thousands of feet into the ground by a single palm, striking a thick layer of arrays.

If it were an Immortal Path Cultivator, even a Three Calamities True Immortal, without an Immortal Treasure for protection and taking this hit head-on, the physical body would shatter, and even the Primordial Spirit would struggle to escape, leading to certain death.

But Qi Yun tenaciously held on, his body trembling violently, his sinews and bones wailing, the Eight Gates nearly collapsing but ultimately not bursting open.

A hint of madness flickered in Qi Yun's eyes. While coughing up blood, he forcefully crammed Secret Medicine and Spirit Pills into his mouth, and in the blink of an eye, he issued more than a dozen orders, calling upon all the allies of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Realms he could muster.

A Qi-Refining Immortal Path Cultivator, if linked to the Ancestral Dao, the stakes involved were so grave that he dared not contemplate deeply.

A Second Tribulation True Immortal not yet a century old, having not even utilized any Immortal Treasure, could rely on Qi-Refining Divine Abilities to inflict such heavy injuries on him!

This was too defying of the heavens!

Even at the cost of his life, this man must die here today; he absolutely could not be allowed to return to the Immortal Alliance!

Chu Zheng's eyes flickered with firelight, the Fire Element Primordial Qi descending from heaven and earth was far more exaggerated than during the previous Wood Tribulation. Despite the profound reserves within his body and the massive consumption from "Law of Heaven and Earth," he still couldn't see the end.

His Qi Refinement's cultivation was uncontrollably skyrocketing; he had already stepped into the later stages of the Unity Realm Stage, progressing relentlessly towards Heavenly Immortal.

Correspondingly, the Tribulation Qi rose uncontrollably. Already embroiled in the numbers of tribulation, the current surge in Tribulation Qi had the potential to transform into a Death Tribulation.

Chu Zheng didn't bother looking at Qi Yun below. Suppressing the killing intent in his heart, he looked around the desolate wilderness, extending his Spiritual Perception, carefully sensing.

The thread of life...

Where could life be found...

Before he could discern where the gate of life was, two great suns crossed the void, bringing forth two figures, one male and one female.

Chu Zheng's Spiritual Eye swept over them, his heart slightly sinking—more cultivators from the Ten Thousand Realms, with cultivation levels similar to Qi Yun's.

"This man is not yet a century old and has entered the Second Tribulation True Immortal, stealing Qi-Refining Divine Abilities, he cannot be allowed to escape; I implore everyone to strive at full strength to extinguish this scourge!"@@novelbin@@

With a fierce shout, Qi Yun stated Chu Zheng's background in a few words. Picking himself up from severe injuries, the divine radiance reignited around his body through the Eight Gates, his sinews and bones resembling jade as he gripped his War Spear tightly and once again soared into the void, advancing towards Chu Zheng.

Having suffered heavy injuries, at this moment, he was entirely relying on the medicinal power of Secret Medicine and Spirit Pills to support him, effectively gambling with his own life.

Seeing Qi Yun in such a dire state, the two cultivators who had hurried over wore solemn expressions. In unison, they brought out their Secret Treasures and utilized their strongest methods, aggressively targeting Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng paid no attention to them; after carefully sensing, his eyes lit up, detecting the presence of life, and without any hesitation, he released "Law of Heaven and Earth." Dragging behind him swathes of fiery clouds, he employed "Shrinking Earth into Inches," heading straight in the southeast direction.

Seeing the direction in which Chu Zheng was escaping, Qi Yun's expression drastically changed, a fierce howl erupting:

"He's going to the Immortal Alliance Camp for reinforcements! Stop him!"
