Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

During these fifteen days, Yi Chen had been diligently cultivating behind closed doors. In the meantime, he gave his junior brother Qing Yunzi another two thousand taels in banknotes, instructing him to work hard, while he himself completely played the role of a hands-off manager.

There was no other way, as high buildings rise from the ground, one can only rely on oneself for brilliance.

His Hidden Dragon Temple had no such ace up its sleeve as an ancient ancestor buried on the back mountain, feigning death, only to rise from the coffin when foreign enemies invade.

Although his junior brother Qing Yunzi had considerable talent, he had awakened his spiritual nature not long ago, and it was still Yi Chen who had to shoulder the heavy load of the Hidden Dragon Temple.

For the past half a month, apart from his cheap disciple Chief Zhang coming over once to ensure everything was in order, reporting on the progress of the investigation behind the scenes, Yi Chen had been ceaselessly practicing in the extreme limits of his body and mind, accumulating Origin Points.

In his room, Yi Chen's hands trembled slightly as he carefully wrapped up the Thunder Jade and placed it close to his chest.

Half a month.

A whole half a month.

Who knows what he went through in this half a month?

To accumulate the ten Origin Points needed for the Body-Breaking Realm, his body was practically electrified.

Not venturing out of his room for half a month, his face was ashen from mental overexertion, which made even his little junior brothers look at him with strange glances...

Qing Yunzi held back his words several times.

Fortunately, Heaven does not let down those who toil. Today, Yi Chen finally gathered the Origin Points needed for the Body-Breaking Realm.

"Body-Breaking Realm, today is the day,"

"Origin Points, add them for me!"

Yi Chen roared in his heart as the ten painstakingly accumulated Origin Points were instantly deducted, and a mighty warm current suddenly surged through his limbs and bones.

With the experience from the Strength-Breaking Realm, Yi Chen was much more skilled in guiding the warm current this time, as the endless stream nourished every cell in his body.

Every part, every cell of his body, like parched fields, let out a thirsty cry.

Each circulation of the warm current was a polish for his physical body.

With each circulation, the hidden injuries deep in his body were slowly being repaired by the dripping warm current.

Next to be strengthened were his muscle fibers, which grew increasingly tough through constant forging, with strands of tightly knit fibers coiling around each other, much like the arresting wires of an aircraft.

Then came the tendons that connected the muscles to the bones, which began to thicken and strengthen, growing a strange and tough layer of keratin under the nourishment of the warm current.

Next were the bones. Countless warm currents slowly permeated deep into the bones – the foundation that supported the body and the source of strength and blood Qi.

As the warm current seeped in, Yi Chen entered a state of inner vision, seeing his originally translucent, jade-like bones slowly evolve towards a pale gold color.

His entire skeletal structure, like a bottomless pit, greedily absorbed the permeating, settling warm currents.

As the warm current continuously flowed, a pale gold color became increasingly prominent on his bones, eventually settling into fine, exquisite gold lines that connected all across his body.

The unceasing nourishment of the warm currents made his blood Qi grow more and more powerful.

However, it was not yet the end.

All of a sudden, the blood Qi in various parts of Yi Chen's body began to surge, and points of blood-red light appeared on his organs, muscles, and bones.

These points of blood-red light attracted each other, intertwined, and grew, forming a strange blood-red sphere in his abdominal cavity.

The sphere initially appeared dim and obscure, but as the blood-red points kept converging within, the sphere's color grew increasingly bright.

The blood-red sphere grew to the size of an infant's fist through continuous aggregation.

Just as Yi Chen felt that everything was about to come to an end, a sudden change occurred.

From the blood-red sphere, fine lines of blood began to grow, continuously wriggling and rooting, connecting to the organs and parts of the flesh.

Suddenly, a new circulation channel formed within Yi Chen's body.

By then, the warm current within Yi Chen's body had finally been exhausted, and the newly formed blood-red sphere began to fluctuate with his breathing.

Yi Chen watched the changes within his body in shock, momentarily at a loss for words.

"Fuck, after reaching the Body-Breaking Realm, did I just get an energy heart?"

"Am I even still human?"

With a gentle clench of his fist, unparalleled strength began to surge within him.

The strengthening was over, and Yi Chen felt as though a layer of shackles had been released from his body, inexplicably comfortable and effortless.

This feeling was like that of an ordinary person who usually carried dozens of kilograms of lead suddenly unloading his burden—light and quick.

Even his heartbeat slowed down suddenly.

The Body-Breaking Realm, not bad at all.

A mild smile couldn't help but surface on Yi Chen's face, feeling incomparably good at this moment.

"I wonder if I am now stronger or weaker than my master in his prime."

"Could I beat him in a fight?"

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Yi Chen's mind, which he immediately squashed.

Such thoughts seemed a bit disrespectful to his master...

At that moment, he focused, and a virtual interface suddenly appeared on his retina.

[Name: Yi Chen]

[Lifespan: 18/128]

[Strength: 51, {Once Strength-Breaking Realm: Penetration lv1 (Strength with additional shock penetration effect) Vitality lv1 (20% increase in strength attribute effects)}

[Deep Red Value: 311.] (Can be obtained through special items or by killing demons and evil entities, etc. Used to improve Cultivation Technique levels or deductions.)

At this moment, his attributes panel had undergone earth-shattering changes, with the most significant change being his lifespan, which had surged by 31 years, instantly growing to 128 years.

Strong body leads to strong strength. After entering the Body-Breaking Realm, his strength attribute also increased by a point, which was an unexpected joy.

What excited him even more were the two special abilities he gained after breaking through to the Body-Breaking Realm.

Excess Energy Storage lv1 (After fully storing energy, total stamina and Inner Qi increase by threefold)

Overload Recovery lv1 (Stamina consumption doubles, and the body's self-healing power increases by five times)

"This is... an incredibly strong and practical ability."

If one had to describe Yi Chen, who had broken through both the Strength-Breaking and Body-Breaking Realms, in one sentence.

That would be, tough as hell while also dealing massive damage…

Just as Yi Chen was rejoicing in his heart, suddenly a hunger like a tsunami emerged in his mind.

Hungry! Hungry! Hungry!

At this moment, it seemed as though every cell in his body was screaming.

For a moment, he even thought about eating...

The surrounding light, as if attracted by something inexplicable, began to surge frantically towards the inside of his body.

However, this only slightly relieved his hunger.

"Damn it!"

"Does this Excess Energy Storage have such side effects too?"

In an instant, Yi Chen figured out the culprit behind his intense hunger.

Excess Energy Storage.

Ever since awakening the ability to absorb external light energy, Yi Chen had not experienced such intense hunger for a long time.

Damn!

With a grunt, he pushed open the door with a big hand and headed straight for the kitchen.

Meat! Meat! Meat!

He wanted to eat meat!

He wanted to eat all kinds of high-energy food.

Luckily, since Yi Chen started to make a little fortune, the Hidden Dragon Temple had developed the good habit of hoarding food, especially now that the temple was expanding, they hoarded even more.

Yi Chen picked up an egg and carefully fried it with Pure Yang Inner Qi, instantly making a runny fried egg.

One gulp!

Alternating hands to fry eggs, in no time, he had consumed over a hundred eggs, and his stomach churned wildly, transforming the ingested food into energy in an instant and sending it through the crimson channels into the crimson orb inside.

As light poured in and food went down, Yi Chen finally eased that devouring hunger somewhat.

But that was not enough.

The Excess Energy Storage was far from being full at this time.

Yi Chen looked towards the chicken, duck, and pork stocked in the kitchen, beginning to show a ferocious gleam in his eyes.

Half an hour later, Yi Chen lay in the backyard of the Hidden Dragon Temple with a toothpick in his mouth, a cup of clear tea on the table beside him.

Now that felt good.

Not only was he full, but the Excess Energy Storage was also topped up.

Under his inner vision, the crimson orb inside Yi Chen's body now seemed as substantial as reality, quietly flashing bright and dark with his breathing.

It was virtually his second heart.

Excess Energy Storage, after fully storing, increased his physical stamina and Inner Qi by threefold, at the cost of an unparalleled hunger when energy was depleted.

Compared to the tremendous power it gave, Yi Chen felt the minor side effect was acceptable.

Inside that substantial crimson orb, the immense energy stored and compressed could slowly melt away, converting into physical strength and Inner Qi for him, greatly increasing his stamina.

In such a state, even the relentless pace of the True Pure Yang Skill could be maintained and extended for much longer.

Enjoying a sip of tea, Yi Chen, who had emptied the entire kitchen, was about to rest for a while when Qing Feng and Ming Yue's anxious voices reached him.

"Big senior brother, big senior brother!"

Yi Chen frowned.

"Big events should be met with calmness. How does big senior brother usually teach you?

You should remain unmoved even if Mount Tai crumbles before you. What is it that makes you rush in so frantically?"

"Speak slowly, there aren't many things in Fengyun County that big senior brother can't handle now."

Yi Chen grandly waved his hand.

He now had that confidence.

"Big senior brother, a thief has infiltrated our temple, the kitchen has been emptied, what are we going to eat tonight?" That was Qing Feng's voice.

Yi Chen: "…"

"Big senior brother, several people in flying fish robes came to the temple, it's Uncle Lin and Big Brother Lin who came last time. They are asking if you are free now; they have some leads on the matter behind the scenes." That was Ming Yue's voice.

Yi Chen: "Quick, invite them in, no, I'll go to welcome them myself."
