Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 126: Shattering the Barrier

Similar to the scene that had happened before, there were cultivators from both sects present here too, and they had claimed all the houses.

There were a total of twelve cultivators, with seven from Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary and five from Azure Sky Sect, with only four spirit beasts in the early stage of grade four—two from both sides.

But since you can’t use higher grade spirit beasts for battle in the challenges, it wouldn’t matter anyway.

When this group of cultivators claimed the houses, nobody dissuaded them, but once Ming Yue arrived inside the city, everything changed.

She immediately went and challenged one of the guys from the Azure Sky Sect.

Others were stunned and waited for the result.

Once they climbed inside the arena, the guy couldn’t help but sneer.

"If you had removed the mask, then who knows, I might have shared the house with you... Forget it, after making you kneel, I will remove that mask myself. Just pray that you are to my liking."

The countdown started.

Others shook their heads after hearing the guy’s words. This woman was really digging her own grave.

The guy didn’t stop and continued while the countdown was going.

"But don’t worry, even if you are ugly, we can still enjoy that beautiful body of yours... hahaha."

Just as the battle began, Ming Yue slashed her sword. Immediately, a blue flame erupted from her sword, and like a crescent-shaped arc, it flew towards the opponent.

It was too fast, impossible to dodge. The blue flame struck the guy who still had that creepy smile on his face. Forget about stopping or dodging the attack—he wasn’t even able to react. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

After the blue flame struck him and disappeared, there was no response from the guy. He was still standing there with the smirk.

Others became stunned by the speed of the attack but were relieved to see that there was no strength in the attack.

They couldn’t help but sneer. What’s the point of having an attack so fast when it can’t even hurt others?

There was one group of cultivators who looked utterly serious, though. It was the group consisting of cultivators from both sects. They knew that it wasn’t an ordinary attack, but a soul attack. As expected, in the next moment, the guy fell down face-first, with his creepy smile still present on his lips.

He was dead the moment the blue fire had touched him.

Seeing this scene, there was pin-drop silence inside the core area.

Soul attacks are too fast and are unblockable with normal defense or protective shields. You can dodge a soul attack, but you have to be very fast to do that. But if your opponent is in the same realm, then how can your speed exceed the speed of a soul attack?

It is impossible to learn a soul attack inside the Core Formation Realm. This is why what happened here was almost unbelievable.

Ming Yue looked at the corpse and went towards it. She might not be as fast and physically strong as Jiang Hao, but she was still stronger than anyone else other than Jiang Hao in that aspect.

Her physique also cultivated her body, and given that it was Yin element—which also focuses on inner strength and fortitude—her strength was quite strong.

Her speed might not be as fast, but her flexibility was unmatched.

Although if instead of using this attack, she had simply attacked physically, even then this guy wouldn’t have been able to discern her speed.

She didn’t want to dirty her hand with this guy’s blood. That’s why she used a soul attack to erase his existence.

Although she wasn’t keen on going near this dirty guy’s corpse, she wasn’t going to leave the storage bag behind. She picked the storage bag with her sword and flicked pure spirit qi to clean it.

Only then did she touch it and open it. She was surprised to see all the protective and offensive talismans it contained. She also understood that her previous sect and Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary had gone the extra mile to hunt them.

Instead of bringing it with her inside her house, she poured all the contents inside the storage bag for others to see.

When other cultivators saw the amount of talismans it contained, they became stunned. That was a lot of wealth.

Ming Yue spoke, her voice slow but heard by all. It was mesmerizing too.

"You guys sure are rich to hunt traitors. You’ve even equipped your ordinary cultivators with so many talismans that even looting a single one of them would be enough for others to not worry about spirit stones for years."

When others heard that, they became a little excited inside but didn’t show it on their faces.

The cultivators of both sects knew what Ming Yue was doing. She was basically making the cultivators of both sects targets. This news would definitely spread in a few months.

It’s true others fear them because of the status of their sects, and it’s true that they have some quite strong geniuses in their whole group of cultivators who had come on this mission, but there aren’t many.

If there’s one thing that can make others overcome their fear, it’s greed—and that’s what Ming Yue had targeted. And no doubt, she had succeeded by pouring out all the contents of the storage bag.

They all looked at this woman solemnly. Why would she do that? She was wearing a mask, so they didn’t know who she was, but all this secrecy also pointed towards one guess.

Ming Yue knew that it might reveal her identity, but she didn’t care.

Among the protective talismans, there wasn’t a soul protection talisman. Even if there were, she wouldn’t have cared. If they think her attacks were normal soul attacks, then they are in for a surprise. Soul attacks using the Yin element might be the strongest soul attacks there are.

She stored all the talismans and other useful items and went to her house. There was no unclaimed inheritance in this city, so she would leave for the next safe zone tomorrow. She just hoped that these guys followed her.

Well, given that they already had an inkling of her identity, they would definitely follow her. She was their target, after all.

.....

Morning came, and Jiang Hao came out of the house. Time to check the inheritance.

He looked towards the pillar which had the number zero written on it. There weren’t any cultivators around it. Looks like he was the first to complete cultivation and come out.

It was expected, though. For others, it might be the first time that they had absorbed so much spirit qi in one sitting. It was truly a wonderful feeling for them.

He didn’t know how to claim the inheritance. Should he go to the pillar and touch it? Or was there some other way? Well, he could find out eventually, but it was just better to ask.

He wondered—now that he had a house, what would happen if he touched the barrier of someone else’s house?

He didn’t know which house Jing Tian had occupied, as he had gone quite quickly inside, but there was definitely the possibility of it being one of the houses near his own.

He chose one at random and went towards it. It was to the left of his house.

After coming in front of it, he put his hand on it.

There was no response. Looks like if you own a house, you can challenge someone else for their house. Or is it that there is a way to give up on your house and then challenge someone else? After yesterday, that guy yapped about getting two houses or he would challenge every one of the owners one by one.

He could still figure out how to gain the inheritance himself if Jing Tian didn’t come out early.

But there was one thing noteworthy—if anyone else came late and wanted to have a house, they wouldn’t know whom they were challenging. They would have to take the risk of even fighting someone stronger.

He looked towards the barrier and instead of putting his hand like before, he punched with strength around grade three. The barrier didn’t even budge.

This barrier might require the strength of grade four to break through it. Should he do it? Would the main consciousness see it as breaking the rules? It’s not like he was attacking any cultivators; it was only a barrier.

A barrier that was made by the main consciousness. It is said that the main consciousness is intelligent, so how would it judge his offense if he really broke the barrier?

Since it wanted to groom strong cultivators, him breaking a barrier—which might require the strength of mid-stage or late-stage grade four—might not even be considered an offense.

He really wanted to try it out now. He moved a little behind and looked at the barrier. Breaking it with Primal Essence or Nihility Sphere might be even easier, but his sheer physical strength would work too.

He moved his hand a little behind while closing his knuckles, making a fist. Giving it one last look, he punched with his full strength.

There was a deafening sound, and the barrier immediately shattered like glass. And since the barrier was broken, sound was able to go inside.

The person who was inside the house would have definitely heard the sound, and as expected, a woman with a frightened face came out along with her spirit beast.

When Jiang Hao saw her, he sighed. Looks like he picked the wrong house.
