Chapter 293: Watch Him Raise His Towering Building, Watch His Building Collapse
“Blood Condensation Realm!”
“Is this the breakthrough to the Blood Condensation Realm?”
Outside the Cultivation Tower, a half-beast man and woman stared fixedly at the top of the tower, their eyes filled with shock and envy. This man and woman were none other than Igor and Dona of the half-beast race from Wanxing City.
Although the two of them had long known that the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had an extraordinary foundation, and during this period, under the cultivation of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, Dona had come very close to breaking through to the Advanced Bone Forging Realm, progressing at an astonishing pace, making her admission to a Domain City virtually guaranteed.
But actually seeing someone from the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall break through and become a Blood Condensation Realm expert was still extremely shocking.
The Blood Condensation Realm was the dream pursued by countless martial artists in the Wushan Region and also the level at which one could rule a city. Even if Dona could enter a Domain City and become one of its people, she still felt that achieving the Blood Condensation Realm was extremely difficult, not to mention for the geniuses and martial artists of other cities.
The geniuses from all the major cities in the Wushan Region wanted to get into a Domain City for no other reason than to have a higher chance of breaking through to the Blood Condensation Realm. After all, even if a city poured in all its resources and its geniuses constantly received guidance from the city lord, the chance for those geniuses to break through to the Blood Condensation Realm was still less than one percent.
Now that someone from the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had broken through to the Blood Condensation Realm, it undoubtedly proved to everyone that the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had the capability to help martial artists break through to the Blood Condensation Realm. Such a foundation was clearly not something an ordinary faction in the Wushan Region could possess.
As the surging qi and blood atop the Cultivation Tower gradually calmed, a figure slowly flew from the top of the tower and landed directly at the main entrance, causing the surrounding members of the City of Light Chasing Defense Group, especially the leading city lord Di Luoya, to gasp sharply.
“Yinuo, you reached the Blood Condensation Realm?” Di Luoya looked at the figure who had landed not far in front of him, filled with disbelief.
As the former leader of the city defense group, Yinuo’s strength was clear to him as city lord: a half-step Top Tier Bone Forging Realm expert, decent within the city defense group, but in the entire City of Light Chasing, there were many whose strength surpassed Yinuo’s.
And Yinuo had only recently become a half-step Top Tier Bone Forging Realm expert. How long it would take for her to break through to become a Top Bone Forging Realm Expert was unknown. Yet after joining the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall for only a few days, she had directly become an expert of the same realm as he was, and her qi and blood were clearly much stronger than his. Who would believe this if they heard it?
“Thanks to the hall master’s help, I was fortunate enough to break through.” Yinuo looked at city lord Di Luoya, who had asked, and nodded with a smile, her heart more excited than ever.
In fact, she herself found it hard to believe that she had broken through to the Blood Condensation Realm.
However, the large sausage that Hall Master Lin Qi had given her, her cultivation in the Beginner Meditation Room, the overwhelmingly dense energy in the Third Floor Training Room, and the incredible Blood Condensation Cultivation Method had actually allowed her to break through in one go.
Relying on this Blood Condensation Cultivation Method, after breaking through to the Blood Condensation Realm, she felt that her physical fitness far exceeded the standard for the Initial Stage Blood Coagulation level. Based on her control and understanding of her body, she estimated that the strength she had upon this breakthrough definitely exceeded fifty tons.
Moreover, over these few days, because she had learned the martial skill that complemented the cultivation method, even though she did not know its rank, based on her experience it was at least at the level of a Sequence Transcendent Martial Skill.
In other words, in terms of strength, she was now not much weaker than city lord Di Luoya, and might even be on equal footing.
City lord Di Luoya was by no means weak among the Initial Stage Blood Coagulation Realm, and might already be close to the Beginner Limit of that stage. With strength like his, looking across the entire Wushan Region, she could now be counted as someone of note, no longer a nameless person in the Wushan Region.
Yinuo’s confirmed words for a time filled the various experts of all races from the City of Light Chasing who had followed city lord Di Luoya here, especially the former leaders of the city defense groups, with indescribable envy and jealousy as they looked at her.
“Any city that can cultivate Blood Condensing Realm Masters has an extraordinary foundation. Among all the major cities in the Wushan Region, aside from Azure Wing City, there is no city that can do this. The Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is now thoroughly famous in the Wushan Region.” Huang Lang looked at Yinuo in the distance and could not help but sigh.
Their Holy Blood Mercenary Group was indeed famous, but that reputation relied entirely on their leader Zhuo Gu alone, and the Holy Blood Mercenary Group itself did not have the foundation to cultivate Blood Condensation Realm experts. Their leader becoming a high-level Blood Condensation Realm martial artist was purely due to exceptional talent.
But the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall now was clearly different. Others might not know who Yinuo was, but as someone who had fought against the City of Light Chasing, Huang Lang, or rather the senior officials of the Holy Blood Mercenary Group, knew well that Yinuo was the former leader of the City of Light Chasing Defense Group.
And not just Yinuo as the former group leader; they also knew the other leaders of the defense groups of the City of Light Chasing, as well as the renowned experts in the city who had reached the Bone Forging Realm Advanced Level Limit. They knew them all and had investigated them in detail.
Because of this, they understood even more clearly how powerful the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was in cultivating martial artists.
“If only our Star Tower City had even half of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s cultivation capability.” Alec, the vice city lord of Star Tower City, also sighed. “On the way here to Chiyue Town, I have already seen many grey-robed disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall with the strength of advanced martial artists. Along the way alone, I have seen more than twenty grey-robed disciples at the Bone Forging Realm, including two at the Bone Forging Realm Intermediate Level. Given the human race’s transformation ability, and now with a Blood Condensation Realm expert sitting in town, the strength of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall likely already far surpasses that of an ordinary city and can rank among the top in the entire Wushan Region.”
With Alec’s words, many faction members present for the auction suddenly came to a realization. In particular, personnel from the major cities now viewed the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and Chiyue Town very differently.
Previously, all the major factions had not thought much of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, mainly because it did not have any Blood Condensation Realm experts. Even if its team had the strength to capture twenty Prison Guard Robots inside the prison, they had only considered the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to be relatively strong.
After all, any faction without Blood Condensation Realm experts had its upper limit stuck there. No matter how strong it was, at most it could spar a bit with an ordinary Blood Condensation Realm Intermediate Level martial artist and could not get on the real stage, not even comparable to a city with a Blood Condensation Realm Intermediate Level city lord.
Any martial artist who achieved the Blood Condensation Realm was extraordinary. Especially those at the Blood Condensation Intermediate Level. Even if they had not mastered Sequence Transcendent Martial Skills, they would have several Supernatural Martial Skills cultivated to the Perfection Realm, even to the Third Level Perfection. Such experts were beyond what the most exceptional Bone Forging Realm super geniuses in Domain Cities could contend with.
In fact, such Blood Condensation Intermediate Level experts could single-handedly contend against several of the strongest Bone Forging Realm super geniuses. Not to mention that many Blood Condensation Realm experts from major powers had learned Sequence Transcendent Martial Skills, making them even stronger.
But now the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was different.
With a member having reached the Blood Condensation Realm, as long as they had enough resources in the future, they could keep advancing. Reaching the high-level Blood Condensation Realm was not impossible. Coupled with the many grey-robed disciples whose strength rivaled Initial Stage Blood Coagulation experts, it was entirely possible that the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall could one day reach the level of Azure Wing City.
Due to the interlude of Yinuo suddenly becoming a Blood Condensation Realm expert, the various faction members who had come for the Crimson Moon Auction became much more restrained, especially when they arrived at the newly built auction venue on the mountaintop. One by one, they were shocked by the grand scale of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
In front of the auction venue, which was even larger than a stadium, more than a thousand fully armed grey-robed disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall stood in neat formation. Not only were they all holding Tier 2 Weapons forged from C-grade alloy, but each one was at least an advanced martial artist, yet the feeling they gave was no weaker than that of Bone Forging Realm Beginner Level martial artists.
Among these thousand-plus grey-robed disciples, there were fifty-two Bone Forging Realm experts. Of them, twelve had reached the Bone Forging Realm Intermediate Level, each exuding an aura no weaker than Advanced Bone Forging Realm martial artists.
If one did not know the situation of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, seeing such a team might make them burst out laughing, thinking the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall could not compare to a city at all. After all, a city could field at least a thousand Bone Forging Realm martial artists, to say nothing of the number of Organ Refining Realm martial artists.
But the factions that had come to this auction had all investigated the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall beforehand, and they understood well that these grey-robed human disciples were not ordinary humans.
They were humans capable of transformation.
In the Mountain of the Dead, they were known as the Northern Grey Robe.
Once they transformed, their strength would skyrocket, giving advanced martial artists physical fitness comparable to the Bone Forging Realm Advanced Level Limit. As for Bone Forging Realm martial artists, there was no need to mention them. Though the data was limited, it was estimated that after transformation their overall standard was close to the Initial Stage Blood Coagulation level.
This meant that the grey-robed disciples standing in formation before the auction venue were equivalent to more than a thousand Bone Forging Realm Advanced Level Limit martial artists, along with fifty-two experts whose strength approached the Initial Stage Blood Coagulation level, and among them, twelve had true Initial Stage Blood Coagulation strength.
Twelve Initial Stage Blood Coagulation experts and forty others close to that level of strength would be a lineup that even Azure Wing City, one of the two strongest powers in the Wushan Region, might not be able to muster.
“No wonder Hall Master Lin was so confident before. With such strength, aside from the three untouchable major powers in the domain, the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall already has a place to contend.” Precia, who had arrived at the auction venue, looked at the players guarding it and was filled with amazement.
“Indeed. With such strength, even if Earth Star Pharmaceuticals wants to move against the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall this time, they will have to think carefully.” Xie Feina, beside her, nodded, also shocked by the foundation of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
Originally she had thought that Lin Qi hosting this auction of Guard Robots was a reckless move. Even if he wanted to earn more, the prerequisite was having the capability.
But now, it was clear that Lin Qi did have that confidence.
Even the Smiling Skull, which currently had a very poor relationship with the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and had sent Mo Xiao, one of the Seven Guardians, would not dare claim that they could retreat unscathed in the face of such a lineup. If they fought to the death, Mo Xiao might even fall here.
Although Mo Xiao was already a high-level Blood Condensation Realm martial artist, with strength far beyond that of Prison Guard Robots, he was still flesh and blood. Even with battle armor reducing impacts, he would still be injured facing attacks at the Initial Stage Blood Coagulation level.
Given the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall grey-robed disciples’ crazed playstyle of trading life for injury, if several attacked together, there would be no way for Mo Xiao to get away unscathed, let alone when facing more than fifty.
Because she had persuaded her teacher, Earth Star Pharmaceuticals was unable to dispatch any Blood Condensation Realm experts into the Wushan Region this time. It would be very difficult for them to deal with the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall as it currently stood.
At this moment, the members of the Smiling Skull who had arrived at the auction venue were also stunned by the strength displayed by the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
“How is this… possible…” Isaac looked at the imposing formation. Even after rubbing his eyes several times, those thousand-plus players were still standing there. “What on earth did the people of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall take to grow this fast?”
Isaac, having witnessed from the beginning how the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall first established itself in the wilderness, understood better than anyone what kind of state the hall had been in.
At the start, it had not even had a single quasi-martial artist. Before he joined the Smiling Skull, aside from Hall Master Lin Qi, there was not a single Bone Forging Realm disciple in the entire Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, and it barely had any martial artist disciples at all.
And in just the short time since he joined the Smiling Skull, the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall having over a thousand advanced martial artist disciples might still be barely acceptable, but where had these fifty-plus Bone Forging Realm disciples come from?
“The Northern Grey Robe is quite interesting.” Mo Xiao’s dark red eyes watched the formation before the venue and he could not help but be impressed. “With such strength, ordinary major powers truly cannot afford to provoke them. No wonder they had the nerve to host this auction.”
In front of the Crimson Moon Auction venue.
“Hall master, the auction time is almost here. Should we let people enter the venue?” Wu Zhuoqun swept a glance over the various factions that had suddenly quieted down in the Auction Plaza and reported excitedly.
Now, all the major factions in the Wushan Region had gathered, and even many city lords were present. These factions and experts, upon coming to Chiyue Town, were forced to behave themselves.
This honor and glory was something that even when the human race had occupied the peak of the entire City of Light Chasing, they likely had not enjoyed.
Yet the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had achieved this in just a few short months right before his eyes. It was simply a miracle of the human race.
“Let them line up and enter the venue.”
Wearing a pitch-black martial robe, Lin Qi still revealed only the qi and blood intensity of a Bone Forging Realm Intermediate Level martial artist, yet he gave Wu Zhuoqun, whose physical fitness was close to that level, an indescribable sense of fear. Wu Zhuoqun quickly ran off to order the players to let people in, not daring to stay by Lin Qi’s side any longer.
But just as Wu Zhuoqun instructed the players to open the auction and the various factions prepared to enter the venue, a sky battleship over six hundred meters long, covering the sky, suddenly sped in from the distance. In the blink of an eye, it stopped above Chiyue Town, its shadow covering nearly half the venue as the roar of its engines echoed throughout the town.
“What a massive sky battleship!”
“Which faction is this, actually sending a sky battleship?”
“Look, the emblem on the sky battleship seems to be Earth Star Pharmaceuticals! There are so many figures on the ship! There must be more than three to four thousand of them!”
“No way. Their qi and blood all seem to be above the Bone Forging Realm. Is Earth Star Pharmaceuticals planning to take action?”
The various faction members in Chiyue Town looked up at the giant ship in the sky and were all drawn by its massive size. Especially after seeing the emblem on the sky battleship and the figures visible on its decks, they were shocked by the foundation of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals.
