Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Earthfire Cavern.

At this moment, the array barrier around flickered with spiritual light.

The Phoenix Cry Bird, which usually liked to stay on the Fusang Divine Tree, was uncharacteristically vigilant around the barrier today.

And at the center of the array, Lin Chang’an sat cross-legged, his entire body burning hot and red, with waves of terrifying aura emanating continuously.

This was pure momentum released from thick and powerful blood energy, wave after wave, accompanied by a rhythmic heartbeat.

"Breaking through Tier Three Body Refining, it’s today!"

For the past half year, he refined his body using the essence blood of a Tier Three Late Stage Great Demon, reaching the limit of Tier Two in body refining.

Inside the barrier, as Lin Chang’an uttered a low voice, the blood energy within his body began to boil.

Body Cultivation Core Formation is different from others; it is a process of physical transformation.

There won’t be any grand celestial phenomena, or rather, the celestial phenomena at this level of body cultivation mainly come from the release of blood energy.

But now Lin Chang’an had set up arrays in the cave, ensuring that no trace of the blood energy leaked out.

Moreover, the abundant spiritual energy required for a body cultivation breakthrough was filled within the barrier by the Spirit Gathering Array and the shimmering Upper Grade Spirit Stones around.

The outside world had almost no disturbances.

Lin Chang’an, in the midst of his breakthrough, furrowed his brows.

At this moment, every time the Profound Celestial Mana surged through him, every particle in his flesh seemed to boil.

Swelling! Pain! Yet the life aura emitted by his Lifebound Spirit Plant gently soothed the pain.

This feeling was quite akin to unbearable agony.

As time passed, Lin Chang’an’s flesh, including his muscles and bones, was tempered like steel refined a thousand times from the inside out.

Every muscle in his body contained immense strength, and with a slight movement, a powerful explosive force surged within.

Finally, a faint layer of golden light condensed on the surface, also known as the Golden Body among body refining cultivators.

However, Tier Three Body Refining was not enough to sustain the Golden Body’s manifestation; it could only form a layer of Protective Spiritual Light on the surface.

"Break!"

The voice was not loud, yet it echoed like thunder throughout the cave.

At this moment, Lin Chang’an’s Golden Core inside became much more solid and dense, with an added layer of golden light.

This breakthrough did not cause significant disturbances, or rather, Lin Chang’an was well-prepared.

The essence blood of the Tier Three Late Stage Great Demon he ingested was converting into terrifying energy, continuously replenishing the blood energy post-breakthrough.

The Spirit Gathering Array’s dozens of Upper Grade Spirit Stones flickered, allowing Lin Chang’an to greedily absorb the dense spiritual energy, stabilizing his current realm.

Only within the barrier could one feel the overwhelming surges of blood energy emanating around Lin Chang’an.

This terrifying blood energy pressure was akin to that of the Tier Three Great Demon.

Three days later!

"Finally broke through to Tier Three Body Refining!"

As Lin Chang’an slowly opened his eyes, feeling the powerful strength of his body, he couldn’t help but smile.

With a gentle movement, the stone mat beneath him cracked inch by inch under the force he carelessly released.

"This strength truly is intoxicating."

As Lin Chang’an slowly stood up, feeling the seemingly inexhaustible power within him, a sense of heroism arose, giving him a feeling of being invincible.

He knew this was an illusion right after the breakthrough.

"This feeling!"

At this moment, Lin Chang’an sensed the changes within his body; his muscles and bones were as resilient as millennial ancient vines, and his body was as dense as ironwood.

The veins under his skin twisted powerfully like dragons and snakes.

The next moment, with a deep breath, the terrifying blood energy, once as frightening as a Tier Three Great Demon, instantly concealed itself.

"No wonder it’s an Ancient Cultivation Technique."

He could feel that after the breakthrough, even with the same Tier Three Body Refining, it was different from ordinary cultivation techniques.

Ordinary Tier Three Body Refining had excess rigidity but lacked resilience, whereas this technique was restrained within, the body indestructible and extremely resilient.

"With the breakthroughs in Technique, Body, and Spirit, once all reached Tier Three, the three complement each other, and I can now feel the Self-Healing Body has become stronger."

With a thought, the Sun-piercing Divine Sword appeared in his hand, and the next moment, he reversed the grip and made a slash with the blade.

A sound like a blunt knife scraping cowhide was heard, the blood on the wound clotted yet didn’t disperse, and visibly it quickly healed.

"How about this!"

Lin Chang’an snapped his fingers lightly, and a wisp of Spiritual Fire appeared in his palm.

Under the burning of the Spiritual Fire, the healing ability was hindered, but Lin Chang’an could feel that the Self-Healing Body accelerated recovery by consuming the mana within.

"Not just the body’s recovery, but the control and recovery of mana have greatly increased as well."

In that moment of impulse, with a thought, several Sword Auras appeared in the cave.

The Sword Auras shimmered with spiritual light, spun around the cave, and then directly aimed at him.

However, the razor-sharp Sword Auras were blocked by the Mana Shield at a distance of a full meter from him, bursting into a brilliant display of spiritual light and sparks.

"The Mana Shield is also stronger than before."

The next moment, as the Mana Shield dissipated, Lin Chang’an reached out with his palm in front of him; the sharp edge of a Sword Aura was directly caught by his hand.

"It seems this breakthrough is an overall qualitative improvement..."

At this moment, even Lin Chang’an didn’t expect that breaking through Tier Three Body Refining would lead to a significant overall strength enhancement.

Or rather, after all parts of this cultivation technique broke through to Tier Three, it resulted in a qualitative transformation.
