I Have a Compass for Opportunity

Although the force of the punch had not yet reached him, the aura radiating from it caused Liou Yuan’s skin to break out in goosebumps, and his chest felt slightly stifled.

"If that punch hits me, I might not withstand it." Liou Yuan exclaimed in shock.

In the duels of the Qi Cultivation Realm, no one had ever given him this kind of oppressive feeling.

Buzz! Liou Yuan activated the Cold Star Bracelet without hesitation.

The barrier unleashed by the top-grade defense magical artifact shielded his entire body, while he also activated Blood Absorption to envelop himself with blood energy.

Due to the absorption of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi, his blood energy took on a pale golden hue of the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi.

After doing all this.

Boom! Dark golden energy erupted, engulfing Liou Yuan’s airborne body within it.

On the other side.

Bam! Yan Yingsi also activated the Blood Lipid Jade Pendant, forming a curtain to protect her body.

But her body was blasted by the power of the blade, violently crashing into the defense barrier of the Earth Mother Prison Array.

Facing two opponents, Xu Hetong still showed crushing dominance, neutralizing Liou Yuan and Yan Yingsi’s attacks while also repelling the two.

This sight made the disciples of the Wind Chasing Division inside the array look solemn.

"Haha!" Xu Hetong laughed menacingly, holding his long blade horizontally, his figure soaring from the ground, his black curved blade slashing towards Yan Yingsi in mid-air, aiming to prioritize killing this woman.

However, just as he leapt up.

Boom! The power of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array, which had just calmed, surged again, as the disciples of the Wind Chasing Division recklessly infused their spiritual power into the array, and endless golden light drowned Xu Hetong.

Though it could not severely injure him, it forced him to fully defend, his body slightly retreating under the golden light’s assault.

The black curved blade swung again, its thick black blade aura tearing the sky full of golden light, staining the surrounding void near Xu Hetong with black.

Holding a blade in one hand, his body was clothed in Nether Bone, standing in the center like a Demon God, resolving wave after wave of golden brilliance attacking him.

Pff! Within the punch’s momentum, Liou Yuan’s figure was sent flying, crashing hard against the barrier edge of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array.

The top-grade defensive armor condensed by the Cold Star and Moonlight Bracelet had shattered long ago under Xu Hetong’s punch force.

Even the Blood Absorption Magic Gauze Clothing that enveloped Liou Yuan’s body was mostly damaged, exposing his well-balanced, faintly golden iron-colored upper body.

Although the Cold Star and Moonlight Bracelet broke, the top-grade defensive magical artifact still absorbed 40% of Xu Hetong’s punch power.

The Blood Absorption also blocked 40%, leaving only two-tenths of the force falling on Liou Yuan’s body.

With his bone-casting realm body reinforced by Geng Metal Spiritual Qi, he managed to endure the remaining force of the punch, suffering no other injuries except for a slight stifling sensation in his chest.

"I’m a body cultivator too, you bastard." Liou Yuan said, clutching his stifled chest with one hand, looking up at Xu Hetong, who was fully resisting the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array’s attack, with a mocking expression.

"I thought you could bathe in my Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array, but you still somewhat dread the killing power of my array."

Fortunately, Liou Yuan had now mastered the array formation excellently, buying him and Yan Yingsi crucial time.

Liou Yuan also understood that in the current situation, unless he went all out, there was no way to seize a chance of survival under the threat of Little Ming King Xu Hetong.

"Today it’s either you die, or I live!" With that, Liou Yuan took a deep breath, his whole body pale-gold spiritual power rapidly churning, beginning to surge towards his eyes.

Evil Eyes activated!

The Evil Eyes consumed terrifying amounts of spiritual power, and as Liou Yuan’s cultivation advanced, the consumption only increased.

Especially after Liou Yuan absorbed Geng Metal Spiritual Qi, a trace of gold intertwined with the purple, evidently benefiting the Evil Eyes from the refinement of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi.

This also caused the Evil Eyes’ consumption for Liou Yuan to be greater than before.

Liou Yuan estimated that fully activating the Evil Eyes now could be maintained for at most the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

When the time is up, Liou Yuan’s spiritual power would be exhausted, turning him into a lamb to be slaughtered.

Yet now was the moment when he couldn’t afford not to fight desperately; without activating the Evil Eyes, he wouldn’t even qualify for a direct confrontation with Xu Hetong.

Boom! The pale-gold spiritual power flowing within Liou Yuan disappeared, and with the activation of the Evil Eyes, it was replaced by a purple glow tinged with golden rays, spiraling around Liou Yuan’s body.

Liou Yuan’s Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer strength also skyrocketed at this moment, instantly soaring to the pinnacle below Foundation Establishment, Half-Step Foundation Establishment.

The sweeping spiritual power pressure instantly filled every space within the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array.

At this moment, everyone inside the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array sensed the rising Half-Step Foundation Establishment presence, all eyes turned towards the direction where the spiritual power pressure exploded.

And there, at the edge of the array, Liou Yuan with his tattered clothing slowly stood up, purple-gold spiritual light coiling around his body, his black hair tousled by the surging spiritual energy.

"Half-Step Foundation Establishment, Junior Brother Liou Yuan is going to break through!" exclaimed the black-clad disciple, who wielded the Bone-Piercing Nail, with a look of delight.

Liou Yuan’s sudden outburst undoubtedly tilted the scales of victory further towards their side.

The middle-aged disciple, who was privy to countless secrets of the Ice Vein, squinted at Liou Yuan and explained, "It’s not a breakthrough, more like some kind of secret technique! Junior Brother Liou Yuan is going all out!"

It’s widely known that combat-enhancing secret techniques harm the body to some extent.

Moreover, the burst strength is maintained for a very short duration.

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Wind Chasing Division all looked grave.

It was clear to everyone that Liou Yuan had been pushed to the point of using such a death-defying secret technique.
