As time passed, the danger level in the Secret Realm of Warriors continued to increase, with more and more disciples breaking through to the Qi-Blood realm, their shadows appearing.

Some of the weaker disciples had already started to unite, while most of those still wandering alone in the secret realm were strong.

Lu Yu was battling a shadow of Qi-Blood realm strength, and a team composed of disciples from various factions appeared at a distance. They saw Lu Yu managing to handle the Qi-Blood realm shadow on his own and did not approach.

The team leader cautiously shouted from afar, "Fellow Daoist, do you need any help?"

Noticing their arrival, Lu Yu didn't bother experiencing the subtlety of the shadow's fist techniques and accelerated his offensive, breaking the light-shadow person's attack rhythm with fast punches, continuously striking its chest, causing it to enter a brief state of rigidity.

Then, with a final heavy punch, the light-shadow person hit by Lu Yu shattered into countless light dots, drifting away with the wind.

Lu Yu turned to look at the newcomers. The shouting team leader's face looked slightly stiff, not expecting Lu Yu to be able to resolve a Qi-Blood realm shadow so quickly.

"We won't disturb you any longer, wishing you prosperous Dao fortune," the leader whispered to his teammates, "Let's go quickly!"

A few quickly left, and Lu Yu turned his back, walking in the direction away from them. The strength of the shadows was increasing, but the most dangerous aspect of the Secret Realm of Warriors wasn't the shadows of strong individuals, but the various terrains.

The terrains on the plains, created by mighty individuals, with fist imprints, palm imprints, finger holes, sword scars, blade scars, claw marks... all carried the will of the powerful. As the power in the Secret Realm of Warriors revived, the strong wills lingering in the terrains also began to manifest.

Now, just walking in the Fist Valley, one could feel a heavy pressure. The gravity was gradually increasing over time, which was a sign of the resurrection of the power used by the powerful individual who created the Fist Valley.

The speed at which gravity increased was extremely slow, so slow that only Martial Cultivators with a very high level of control over their own power could notice the increase. Others would only realize the increase in gravity when it started to truly affect them.

Lu Yu could sense the increase in gravity.

Feeling the power contained within his body, Lu Yu quickened his steps to find new opponents.

He had taken the Golden Pattern Nourishing Yuan Pill given by Chu Tiange, and the medicinal effects contained in it were astounding.

The Golden Pattern Nourishing Yuan Pill couldn't directly enhance Qi-Blood and physique, but its effects would linger within Lu Yu, subtly accelerating the natural growth of his Qi-Blood and the natural strengthening of his physique.

Both battle and movement could accelerate the pill's effects, and after several battles, Lu Yu still felt the powerful energy contained within his body.

After several battles, only a small part of the pill's effects had been consumed, but the improvement for Lu Yu was massive.

Lu Yu found that after fighting, absorbing the pill's power could increase his Qi-Blood by 1 or 2 points, and his physique would also become stronger and more resilient.

Lu Yu seemed to understand how Chu Tiange developed such a robust physique; if one consumed it from an early age, even a pig could become strong.

Chu Tiange's formidable physique was only partially attributed to the Golden Pattern Nourishing Yuan Pill. Most of the pill's effects were used to sustain the royal bloodline, maintaining the power of the bloodline.

Without enough energy to maintain the powerful bloodline strength, Chu Tiange's power would quickly decline, and the bloodline power would gradually become dormant. Before he started cultivating, the energy required by the bloodline power had to be sustained by a large amount of spirit medicine, pills, and medicinal diets.

This time, Chu Tiange came to the Secret Realm of Warriors to enhance the awakening degree of his bloodline, laying a solid foundation for cultivation. For the royal family, the degree of bloodline awakening determines their strength.

Combat is the best catalyst for bloodline awakening, especially battles against strong opponents. Hovering between life and death can most effectively stimulate bloodline awakening.

Whoosh~ A rainbow of light flew up into the sky from directly in front of Lu Yu, signifying someone activating a Token to leave the secret realm.

Someone leaving the secret realm suggested a high probability of a powerful shadow ahead, so Lu Yu sped up.

Just as he arrived at the scene of the battle, Lu Yu saw another rainbow light flying up, heading towards the large flying Spiritual Treasure in the sky.

He looked at the light-shadow person who had sent away two people—it was a shadow of a formidable individual, incredibly powerful; otherwise, it wouldn't have forced two people to give up and choose to escape the secret realm.

The light-shadow person turned to see Lu Yu, and fist beams suddenly appeared, hundreds of streaming lights enveloping Lu Yu, leaving him with no escape.

"Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist!" Lu Yu recognized the light-shadow person's technique. He counterattacked with Infinite Fast Fist, and in terms of punch speed alone, Lu Yu couldn't outmatch the opponent, but his blows were heavier, more powerful.

He directly broke through the opponent's fist shadows, aiming at the opponent's body.

Suddenly, Lu Yu narrowed his eyes, seeing a brilliance of a streaming light fist shadow, outshining all other fist shadows.

Bam! Lu Yu and the light-shadow person each took a few steps back. Lu Yu retreated five steps, two more than the light-shadow person. This exchange resulted in Lu Yu's loss.

Excited, Lu Yu realized this was the second move of the Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist. Even a Qi Cultivation realm shadow hadn't performed this move, meaning if Lu Yu defeated this shadow, his Infinite Fast Fist would improve significantly.

The Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist was the most suitable martial technique for Infinite Fist to absorb and integrate. After all, when Lu Yu created the Infinite Fist, he referenced the Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist to create Infinite Fast Fist.

"Come on! Again!" Lu Yu charged towards the light-shadow person, who stomped the ground fiercely, attacking straight at Lu Yu. Countless fist shadow streams descended upon Lu Yu.

Take hits, absorb, improve, digest, strengthen the physique, enhance strength...

Under the onslaught of the light-shadow person's storm-like attacks, Lu Yu absorbed the advantages of the opponent's lightning-fast techniques, improved the movements of Infinite Fast Fist, increased his attack speed, digested the Golden Pattern Nourishing Yuan Pill's effects, and his physique continued strengthening through strikes, while his power increased through battle...

With a robust physique, Lu Yu could withstand the light-shadow person's attacks. He had enough time to observe the opponent's movements, imitate and improve his own fist technique styles, and the abundant effects of the Golden Pattern Nourishing Yuan Pill allowed Lu Yu to grow stronger continuously in battle.

Boom! The light-shadow person was forced back seven or eight steps and stopped. For the first time, Lu Yu gained an advantage in the exchange, learning the transition between Infinite Fast Fist and Infinite Heavy Fist from the light-shadow person's fist technique moves.

For the first time in a clash, the Infinite Heavy Punch was seamlessly followed by the Infinite Fast Fist.

Although the power was significantly reduced, Lu Yu believed that as long as he kept improving his moves, he would eventually manage to unleash both a heavy and a fast punch, catching his opponent off guard.

Who would have thought that amidst the seemingly stormy flurry of fast punches, a punch as explosive as a volcanic eruption was hidden?

When finally defeating the shadow opponent, Lu Yu's punch speed was still not as fast as the opponent's, unable to reach a hundred punches in an instant.

Lu Yu wasn't deliberately chasing a hundred punches in an instant; he sought speed and the speed that came with sufficient attacking force.

A hundred punches in an instant is a technique that sacrifices attack power for punch speed, which Lu Yu didn't need. He only needed to unleash his attack with the fastest possible speed rather than blindly pursuing attack speed.

By consuming experience points to absorb the martial arts fragments dropped by the shadow, the attack speed of the Infinite Fast Fist further increased, enhancing attack speed by 1.7 times when unleashed.

Glancing at his current experience points, Lu Yu upgraded the Bladeless Blade Technique.

The experience points required to upgrade the Bladeless Blade Technique continued to increase with each realm, indicating that enhancing the Bladeless Blade Technique could further improve his realm.

Whenever the experience points needed to upgrade the cultivation technique are less than those required to advance in realm, it means this cultivation technique can no longer enhance realm levels, having reached the limits of what the technique allows.

[Through diligent training, the Bladeless Blade Technique has been upgraded to the fourth level, Spiritual Power +30, Qi Blood +20]

[Realized insights while training with the Bladeless Blade Technique, realm advanced to Qi Cultivation Realm Fourth Level, Spiritual Power +30, Qi Blood +9]

[Absorbed a small amount of the Golden Pattern Nourishing Yuan Pill's medicinal power, enhancing physique, Qi Blood +2]

Advancing from Qi Cultivation Realm Fourth Level to Fifth Level requires 400,000 experience points.

Originally, advancing from Qi Cultivation Realm Third Level to Fourth Level increased Qi Blood by more than 9 points, but since Lu Yu's physique was too strong, the increase in Qi Blood was significantly reduced during the breakthrough.

Body refinement is like inflating a balloon with the characteristic that the larger the balloon, the thicker the skin becomes. The same amount of Qi Blood that can increase the volume limit will decrease as the balloon enlarges.

Currently, Lu Yu's Qi Blood strength has reached 870 points, and his Spiritual Power limit is 669 points, with the ice and fire Spiritual Power limits each increasing by 30 points.

The enhancement of the Bladeless Blade Technique simultaneously increased the power of the Bladeless Blade Method significantly.

As it stands, the Heaven Collapse remains Lu Yu's most powerful attack method; with an 870-point Qi Blood half-explosion, under the power surge of the Bladeless Blade Method, it can easily kill Martial Cultivators with only 500 or 600 Qi Blood.

Adding the battle power increase of the Blood Burning Secret Technique by a factor of two, even Martial Cultivators with nearly a thousand Qi Blood might not withstand it.

Nearly a thousand Qi Blood, that's the standard of Qi Mastery Realm levels eight or nine; expecting to use Heaven Collapse to hammer a Qi Mastery Realm of level eight or nine Martial Cultivator is basically impossible.

With that level of Qi Mastery Realm, their Spiritual Power value is almost reaching ten thousand. The power unleashed by Lu Yu hasn't even reached the opponent before it's overshadowed by their Spiritual Power.

Not to mention that the opponent also has defensive measures like Spiritual Armor and body-protecting Spiritual Treasures.

Even a Qi Mastery Realm Third Level Martial Cultivator with more than 3000 Spiritual Power, as long as their Spiritual Power is sufficient and their mastery over their own power exceeds a third, they can withstand Lu Yu's full-force strike.

However, adding the extreme weight of the Demon-Breaking Saber may change this scenario.

Sigh~ Lu Yu heard the sound of wind from afar and looked up, seeing Chu Tiange escaping on a bronze chariot with sword lights striking it from afar. The chariot exploded with divine radiance, canceling out the sword lights, making it run even faster.

Lu Yu saw Chu Tiange spitting blood, the blood slightly tinged with gold. Not far from where it was spat out, those golden speckled blood drops flew back into Chu Tiange's body.

"..."

Lu Yu wondered what Chu Tiange was thinking at that moment. Would he find it disgusting that the blood he spat out went back into his body?

Chu Tiange had no time to be disgusted now. All he wanted was for the bronze chariot to move faster. As the sword lights striking the chariot grew less frequent, Chu Tiange gradually sighed in relief.

He completed his transaction with Lu Yu and then returned to challenge the Sword God's shadow.

Unexpectedly, during their battle, the Sword God's shadow broke through realms, becoming a Qi Mastery Realm shadow with greatly amplified power.

As a result, he was ruthlessly beaten by the Sword God's shadow and almost didn't survive, but his bloodline significantly awakened, and his blood now had a golden glow.

It can only be said that the Sword God's talent was too extraordinary; even the breakthrough process was recorded by the Dao Reflection Stone. A shadow breaking through realms mid-fight was one of a kind.

Legend has it that back in the day, the Sword God broke through three realms in the Relic Realm and possessed unparalleled combat prowess.

It's unknown what level the Sword God's shadow strength will elevate to as the Relic Realm's power resurges.

All along, defeating the Sword God's shadow and absorbing the Sword God's cultivating insights has been the goal of geniuses entering the Relic Realm, but few succeed.

Once, someone successfully defeated the not-yet-strengthened Sword God's shadow by relying on realm suppression and encirclement, acquiring the Sword God's cultivating insights and significantly boosting their strength.

To achieve such a feat, both luck and strength are indispensable. One must locate the Sword God's shadow before it strengthens, then gather a sufficient number of powerful disciples to fully besiege the Sword God's shadow, only then is there a chance to defeat it.
