Chapter 1012 - 337: 2 Million Years

No matter how he cultivated, the enhancement of his physical strength progressed as slow as a snail.

No, even a snail was faster than him.

In his desperation, Lin Zheyu had to find an alternative cultivation path by cultivating Martial Arts Divine Pattern, enhancing his strength through the condensation of the Golden Body Dharma Aspect.

And now, less than five breaths have passed, and Lin Zheyu unexpectedly felt a slight enhancement in his physique.

"I chose the right path!"

"My chance to break free from shackles might actually lie in the Witch Race’s inheritance!"

Lin Zheyu exclaimed with delight.

He raised his head, looking at the statue of the powerful Witch Cultivator deep within the hall.

As Lin Zheyu approached, the statue’s might became increasingly imposing, and the lifelike eyes seemed to come to life.

Its gaze, sharp as lightning, fell upon Lin Zheyu.

Although he couldn’t utilize the golden Celestial Eye, Lin Zheyu’s perception was immensely powerful.

In his perception, the icy aura just now was emanating from within the statue.

And as Lin Zheyu approached, this aura grew even stronger.

Whoosh~~~

Lin Zheyu adjusted his breathing, straightening his slightly hunched waist.

Feeling the icy aura flowing through his body, it only helped him refine his physique and enhance his flesh power without any other side effects.

Only then did Lin Zheyu relax.

Yet he still remained slightly vigilant.

It’s a pity he couldn’t use the golden Celestial Eye; otherwise, a thorough observation with it would alleviate his worries even more.

However, Lin Zheyu wasn’t overly concerned.

As long as there were no issues with his consciousness or soul, any physical problems could be easily resolved using Source Power.

Tap~~ Tap~~ Tap~~ Tap~~

Lin Zheyu continued forward.

As he got closer, the oppressive aura he endured soared at an overwhelming pace.

Even with his current powerful physique, it was somewhat hard to bear.

Lin Zheyu had to slow his pace, minimizing the distance of each step.

Yet his back remained remarkably straight throughout, no matter how terrifying the oppressive aura felt, he would never bow to it.

Crack——

As Lin Zheyu advanced, his bones collided and compressed under the terrifying oppressive aura, producing cracking sounds.

Finally.

After over ten minutes.

A mere distance of less than two hundred meters took Lin Zheyu over ten minutes to traverse.

Looking up.

He gazed at the massive statue not far away.

In terms of sheer size alone, standing before it made Lin Zheyu appear insignificantly small.

Yet to powerful cultivators observing him.

Lin Zheyu stood upright and proud.

A towering aura emanated from him, challenging the terrifying oppressive aura radiating from the statue, imparting an immensely noble feeling.

"The oppressive aura felt seems adjusted based on the strength of participating cultivators in the trial."

"Otherwise, such terrifying oppression would make even a Martial Artist in the Qi Blood Realm struggle to advance ten steps."

Lin Zheyu muttered to himself.

He stood silently in place, with Qi Blood rapidly circulating inside, producing a terrifying rumble.

Under an oppressive aura as terrifying as heaven collapsing, Lin Zheyu’s body trembled slightly.

The icy aura within him, initially as thin as strands, gradually expanded.

While standing here, the aura had grown into a gentle stream flowing throughout his body.

A gleam of excitement flashed in Lin Zheyu’s resolute eyes.

The icy aura was like the most nourishing Treasure Medicine for his body.

This aura wasn’t enhancing Qi Blood; it had no effect on Lin Zheyu’s golden Qi Blood.

Instead, it directly acted upon the muscles, membranes, and bones!

Pop... pop...

Sounds like firecrackers erupted within Lin Zheyu’s body.

Muscles, membranes, and bones across his entire body visibly advanced at an astonishing pace under the effect of this mysterious aura.

Clang~~ Clang~~~

Seven golden chains fiercely swayed and collided as Lin Zheyu’s physique advanced, resonating with crisp sounds.

However, regardless of the strength of the heavenly chains’ restraints.

Under the influence of the icy aura, Lin Zheyu’s physical enhancement progressed slowly but with utmost determination.

Time quietly passed.

Three days went by.

Lin Zheyu silently stood in front of the statue, enduring its terrifying oppressive aura, enjoying the nourishing and enhancing effects of the icy aura on his body.

"Pure flesh power has improved almost thirty percent, the Witch Cultivation system indeed has some substance!"

Lin Zheyu sighed.

The mysterious energy had already reached its limit in terms of enhancing Lin Zheyu.

The body’s absorption of this mysterious power had reached saturation.

The seven heavenly chains within were also stretched to their limits, tightly restraining his physique, preventing further physical advancement.

Rumble!

His body slightly shuddered, as the seven golden chains instantly tightened, resonating and emitting a pleasing clang sound.

"I can’t break free, not even with the Golden Body Dharma Aspect."

Lin Zheyu thought silently.

He had just tried to see if he could break the first chain, but unfortunately, he couldn’t.

Even with the additional power of the Golden Body Dharma Aspect, he was still a bit short.

"It’s time to proceed to the next trial."

Lin Zheyu whispered.

He twisted his body slightly, as standing too long and continuously enduring the terrifying oppressive aura for three days left his body somewhat rigid.

He took a step forward, onto the carpet made from some animal’s hide.

Instantly, the terrifying oppressive aura weighing on Lin Zheyu disappeared, making him feel an unprecedented sense of ease.

If one could endure this oppressive aura to push the limits during training, efficiency would surely be high.
