Chapter 171: Chapter 170: Celestial Human Realm

With the bottleneck shattered, the Dragon and Tiger Qi Blood within Xia Wuyang’s body began to undergo a more profound transformation.

A faint, shimmering light flickered within his dense Qi Blood. Each drop contained immense energy, far surpassing what it was before.

A single drop of this Qi Blood could easily crush an ordinary Lower Third Grade Martial Artist. One could only imagine the sheer energy it contained.

That faint, shimmering glow was the mark of Qi Blood refined to a certain degree. Only Qi Blood that shone with this brilliance could purge the body’s deeper-seated filth and impurities—even the terrifying impurities congesting the Dantian.

In a trance, Xia Wuyang saw an astonishing sight within his Dantian.

Countless channels leading to his Dantian were blocked by black filth. These were the impurities a Martial Artist accumulated since birth, the deepest-seated of all.

Even the Dantian itself was choked with thick filth, cutting off its connection to the Power of Heaven and Earth.

The Martial Artists of the Human Race in this world sensed the Power of Heaven and Earth through their Dantian, thereby gaining its favor and condensing a True Qi Seed.

But Xia Wuyang’s situation was different. His Spiritual Power was already Extraordinary, which meant that as long as he could clear his Dantian, he could directly sense the Power of Heaven and Earth and condense a True Qi Seed with the help of his Extraordinary Spiritual Power.

The path to the True Monarch Realm was now clear.

He directed a portion of his newly refined and sublimated Qi Blood to purge the filth from the channels leading to his Dantian. Sure enough, it worked, though the process was slow.

As the filth was purged, Xia Wuyang could clearly feel his body growing lighter and lighter, giving him the sensation of being as Light as a Feather.

This strange sensation came from the deep-seated filth being purged from his body.

Once the transformation of his Qi Blood was complete and a portion of the deep-seated impurities had been purged, it signified that Xia Wuyang’s power had officially broken through and stabilized at a new realm.

The Celestial Human Realm!

The Super Grade Realm!

This was also what the common people of the Fallen Dragon Land considered the highest realm of the Martial Dao.

As long as True Monarchs did not appear, Celestial Humans reigned supreme over this land, with no rivals to speak of.

Xia Wuyang slowly opened his eyes. The aura around him was as profound as the sea, and his terrifying presence was like a mountain, enough to utterly crush an ordinary person.

Compared to before, his improvement could only be described as immense.

He felt as Light as a Feather; every step he took seemed to defy gravity, and his speed far surpassed what it was before.

His Qi Blood surged like a dragon, and every single drop of his blood contained terrifying might.

His combat power had skyrocketed. This affected every aspect of his body, and the magnitude of the improvement was colossal.

...

With a mere wave of his hand, he could unleash a terrifying force of 300,000 kilograms. And this was only his Basic Power, without any boosts from Combat Techniques and Secret Techniques, amplification from a Top Level Mortal Artifact, or enhancement from his Companion Talent Tree Deep Roots.

With all of those additions, his power could be amplified by a factor of about thirty on top of that 300,000-kilogram base.

All told, his maximum destructive force had reached a staggering nine million kilograms—a massive 9,000 tons—and was even approaching the 10,000-ton mark.

When such terrifying destructive power was concentrated in a single individual, one could only imagine the might they could unleash.

The legendary feat of uprooting mountains with sheer strength was no longer a mere figure of speech, but a tangible reality for him.

An ordinary Celestial Human would be blown to pieces by a single punch from Xia Wuyang, utterly unable to fight back.

Normally, even a Celestial Human at Super Grade Perfection, with enhancements from Top Level Mortal Techniques and Arts and a Top Level Mortal Artifact, would only have a destructive force of about five million kilograms—a mere 5,000 tons.

Xia Wuyang had only just stepped into the Super Grade Realm to join the ranks of Celestial Humans, yet his destructive power already exceeded nine million kilograms. By the time he reached Super Grade Perfection, it would likely increase by another two-fold.

Therefore, at this very moment, without even factoring in Spiritual Objects, he no longer feared Emperor Xia in the slightest.

Moreover, the greatest improvement in the Super Grade Realm was speed. Right now, Xia Wuyang’s speed had soared to over 300 kilometers per hour.

This was more than double his speed from the First Grade Realm.

This, too, was merely his base speed. It could be enhanced by Top Level Mortal Techniques and Arts and a Top Level Mortal Artifact. His Companion Talent Tree Deep Roots also provided a certain boost.

All told, his base speed could be multiplied by a factor of about twelve. Thus, Xia Wuyang’s speed could soar to 3,600 kilometers per hour.

3,600 kilometers per hour—what did that even mean?

In his past life, an ordinary passenger jet flew at around 1,000 kilometers per hour. Xia Wuyang’s speed was already more than three times that.

If his movement speed was 3,600 kilometers per hour, what about his attack speed, defensive speed, and support speed? Those couldn’t be underestimated either.

When over nine million kilograms of destructive force was backed by such speed, one could only imagine how astonishing the resulting combat power would be.

Speed and power, when combined, were the fundamental determinants of destructive force.

This incredible speed also meant that his ability to escape and preserve his life would be much stronger. Within the Body Refining Stage, it was unlikely that anyone could now surpass him in speed.

His Power and speed had improved drastically, but they were not what had improved the most. That honor belonged to his Defense.

The Body Refining Stage was primarily focused on improving defense to begin with. After breaking through to the Super Grade Realm, Xia Wuyang’s Defense had skyrocketed several-fold, far surpassing its previous level.

A destructive force of over 10,000 tons landing on his body would be fundamentally unable to harm him in the slightest. Such was the level of his defense.

Thinking back to his past life, how many weapons had a destructive force that could exceed 10,000 tons?

Of course, this was only when his body was protected by his Cultivation Technique, Combat Techniques, and Secret Techniques, and while he was wearing a Top Level Mortal Artifact. Otherwise, his defensive power wouldn’t be so formidable.

Even so, this level of defense was already unparalleled in the Body Refining Stage. If not for awakening his Companion Talent Tree Deep Roots, Xia Wuyang’s defense would have been incapable of reaching such a level.

But the most pleasant surprise of all wasn’t any of these things; it was the increase in his lifespan. After breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm, his lifespan had soared by two hundred years, reaching a total of over five hundred years.

In his past life, most dynasties hadn’t even lasted five hundred years, typically falling after just two or three hundred.

And yet here Xia Wuyang was, with a lifespan that had already reached five hundred years.

He was only seventy-two years old this year, meaning he still had a full four hundred-plus years left to live.

Relatively speaking, seventy-two was now merely his adolescence.

The notion of him being old and decrepit had long since become a joke.

A wide smile spread across Xia Wuyang’s face as he felt the youthful vitality coursing through his body.

The growth in his Cultivation and strength was certainly a joyous occasion, but the accompanying increase in lifespan was an equally pleasant surprise. To a certain extent, it was even more alluring.

After all, wasn’t living longer the very reason many Martial Artists relentlessly pursued higher Cultivation Realms?
