Chapter 238: Chapter 219: Unparalleled Physique

Beneath the bright moon, the silhouette of a long saber, condensed from Saber Intent and Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, slowly materialized before Chen Yue.

The blade was translucent, glowing with a faint, silvery-white light. A faint stream of light swirled along its edge, exuding a piercing, heart-palpitating aura.

The blade, the edge, the guard, the hilt—every detail grew more defined as it was filled by the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

The saber’s silhouette grew increasingly distinct, shifting from hazy to sharp, from illusory to solid.

However, just as the long saber was about to fully coalesce, it seemed to get caught on something and froze in place.

The blade trembled slightly, emitting a low hum, as if struggling to break free from some unseen restraint, but it always fell just short.

Chen Yue’s brow twitched. ’The Saber Intent has indeed transformed, but the overall strength of my Heart Spirit still isn’t high enough.’

’My Heart Spirit is already much stronger than that of a typical peak Refining Organ Realm Martial Artist, but it’s still not enough to use Saber Intent combined with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to manifest a tangible long saber out of thin air.’

’That final step requires a more refined and powerful Power of Heart and Spirit for support.’

At Chen Yue’s thought, the saber-shaped mark on the back of his right hand grew faintly warm. With a flash of light, the Jinghong Saber materialized out of thin air and landed in his palm.

The moment the Jinghong Saber appeared, the hazy saber silhouette floating in midair—still on the verge of solidifying—seemed to have found its destination. It quivered lightly, then drifted toward the Jinghong Saber.

The instant it touched the blade, the two merged without the slightest resistance; the saber of Primordial Qi flowed smoothly into the Jinghong Saber.

ZING!

A saber’s ring, like a dragon’s roar, resounded from within the Jinghong Saber, echoing far into the silent night.

A powerful aura rippled out from the blade, spreading in all directions like invisible waves. The surrounding air seemed to grow heavier from its presence.

Chen Yue looked down at the Jinghong Saber in his hand. ’For now, I have to use the Jinghong Saber as a conduit to fully unleash the power of my transformed Saber Intent.’

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was still surging, continuously flowing into the Jinghong Saber as he channeled his Furious Wave Saber Intent.

The blade began to vibrate slightly, emitting a low, droning hum as it continuously devoured the surrounding energy.

Only when the Jinghong Saber could contain no more Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi did the surge slowly subside.

Sensing the power now contained within the Jinghong Saber, Chen Yue couldn’t help but feel a flicker of astonishment.

’The saber’s current power is no less than what it unleashed back at the Liuyun Sword Sect, when I used the Celestial Demon Burning Technique, Pan Yuan Infinite Skill, and Mixed Element Infinite in succession.’

’And right now, all I’ve done is activate my Saber Intent. I haven’t used any Cultivation Techniques or Secret Arts.’

’In fact, in terms of sheer overwhelming presence, since the Jinghong Saber has directly condensed Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, the pressure it would exert on an opponent’s Heart Spirit is even stronger now.’

’If I were to face those peak Refining Organ Realm experts from the Liuyun Sword Sect right now, I wouldn’t need to use my various trump cards like I did that day. This single slash would be enough to kill them on the spot.’

’Not just grievously wounded and on the brink of death, but sliced in two.’

Chen Yue slowly exhaled and gradually dispersed the power condensed within the Jinghong Saber.

The glow on the blade gradually dimmed, and its piercing aura receded along with it.

Chen Yue looked up at the night sky, his eyes glinting.

’The biggest difference between me and an Innate Realm expert right now is that I haven’t yet opened any Innate Acupoints in my body.’

’Innate Acupoints are the fundamental feature that distinguishes Innate Realm experts from Refining Organ Realm Martial Artists. Only with Innate Acupoints can Inner Strength be converted into Primordial Power, enabling one to truly resonate with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and command the Power of Heaven and Earth with a single thought.’

’Without Innate Acupoints, every move I make—while seemingly at peak power—has a noticeable break in its momentum in the eyes of an Innate Realm expert.’

’This break comes from the fact that I must first use my Saber Intent to guide the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and then integrate that guided Qi into my attack.’

’This is unlike true Innate Realm experts, who directly use the Primordial Power within their bodies to drive their Techniques, causing the Power of Heaven and Earth to move with a single thought.’

’This adds an intermediary step, a process of transfer and conversion. Other peak Refining Organ Realm experts might not be able to perceive this opening, but to an Innate Realm expert, this flaw is enormous.’

"Innate Acupoints..."

Chen Yue’s gaze wavered. ’Without breaking through to the Innate Realm, I’ll definitely never have Innate Acupoints.’

’If I already had Innate Acupoints, I would have broken through to the Innate Realm long ago. Why would I still be standing here mulling over the problem of acupoints?’

A night breeze swept through the courtyard. As Chen Yue stood under the moonlight, thoughts rippled through his mind, one after another.

’No, that’s not right.’

Chen Yue’s train of thought came to a sudden halt. ’The rule about having no Acupoints Below Innate... that only applies to other Martial Artists.’

’I, on the other hand, am special.’

’Because I possess an Innate Realm Cultivation Technique. More critically, this Limit-Broken technique could directly absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into my very flesh and blood, even before my Saber Intent transformed.’

’Though the amount it absorbed was minuscule and the efficiency was low, it was definitely possible.’

’From a certain perspective, the Ten Thousand Forms Tiger Roar Golden Bell was treating my entire body as a single Innate Acupoint.’

’The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is absorbed into the body, tempering the flesh and blood, muscles and bones, and internal organs directly. This is unlike other Cultivation Techniques, which first convert Inner Strength to Primordial Power and then use that Primordial Power to temper the body.’
