I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 445 Breakthrough Cultivation Technique

The stronger Han Zheng's power, the more cautious he needs to be with each breakthrough. Ideally, each breakthrough in cultivation techniques should complement his existing techniques.

After pondering for a while, Han Zheng decided to break through the True Martial Nine Yang Holy Body and the Black Heaven Tathagata Demon Buddha Form.

The former mainly cultivates the physical body, which has always been Han Zheng's primary path.

The latter is the main source of Han Zheng's power techniques and should be prioritized for breakthrough.

Upon reaching the True Pill Realm, Han Zheng gained a deeper understanding of his Martial Arts path.

As long as he accumulates enough power, even a casual strike could have the power to topple cities and shake the earth.

For the Black Heaven Tathagata Demon Buddha Form, it was simple enough; Han Zheng used fifty thousand Hunger Level to elevate its Skill Level to Perfect.

However, for the True Martial Nine Yang Holy Body, a meticulous body refining technique, Han Zheng consumed a full three hundred thousand Hunger Level to cultivate it to perfection.

This was only possible because Han Zheng's Heavenly Demon Pill Method reached Great Success, fundamentally transforming him and reshaping his talent.

Otherwise, who knows how much Hunger Level it would consume?

No wonder there are so few martial artists in the Martial World who primarily cultivate body refining techniques. Even sects focused mainly on body refinement are rare; the discipline is too difficult to cultivate.

Only because Han Zheng possesses the Taotie Furnace can he refine it to perfection through persistent kung fu.

If other martial artists want to achieve something in body refining techniques, even with extraordinary talent, they need to accumulate vast resources and adorn themselves with various Spiritual Treasures of nature to possibly cultivate body refining techniques to perfection.

Like Gongsun Yuan, who also cultivates body refining techniques, but even occupying the lucrative position of South City's garrison general, the cultivation is resource-intensive. He needs to collaborate with Xu Tianxing and embark on ventures that risk annihilation of entire clans to push the techniques to perfection.

[Current techniques available for breakthrough:

Breaking through Black Heaven Tathagata Demon Buddha Form requires consuming two hundred thousand Hunger Level.

Breaking through True Martial Nine Yang Holy Body requires consuming three hundred thousand Hunger Level.]

"Break through both."

As Han Zheng's voice fell, the Taotie Furnace opened its large mouth, with black power surging within it, as though containing an endless universe of stars.

As the large mouth chewed and wriggled, two black balls of light finally merged into Han Zheng's body.

[Dan Sea Realm Black Heaven Tathagata Demon Buddha Form breaks through to True Pill Realm Mandala Sky Demon Barrier, initial Skill Level 10%]

[Dan Sea Realm True Martial Nine Yang Holy Body breaks through to True Pill Realm Dragon and Tiger True Dao Body, initial Skill Level 10%]

After carefully checking the contents of these two techniques, Han Zheng let out a slight sound of surprise.

The breakthrough techniques surprised Han Zheng somewhat.

The techniques broken through by the Taotie Furnace are always inherited from the original techniques, but this time, the connection between the breakthrough techniques and the previous techniques was not high.

Black Heaven Tathagata Demon Buddha Form primarily cultivates Demon Buddha Power, colliding through confrontation yet mutually integrating to bring about extremely powerful force.

But this Mandala Sky Demon Barrier does not lean toward orthodox Buddhist Zen nor the Demon Path, but rather towards the Esoteric Sect lineage techniques.

Mandala, being at the core of force cultivation in Esoteric Sect, when unleashed, all forces within a hundred-zhang radius can be absorbed into Han Zheng's power center.

This force for cultivation means that nature's spiritual energy within a hundred zhang can be harnessed by Han Zheng at will.

Used against foes, once the barrier is unleashed, the supreme Heavenly Demon dances within it, with its mysterious might immeasurable.

Even as Han Zheng unleashes this Mandala Sky Demon Barrier, he feels as if he's at a half-step Yang God Realm.

Martial artists who touch the threshold of the Yang God Realm can passively absorb Heaven and Earth Power, while Han Zheng can actively absorb it.

Though limited to the Heaven and Earth Power within the barrier's hundred-zhang, its might is equally formidable, even surpassing the Heaven and Earth Power that Jing Xuzi can absorb.

Dragon and Tiger True Dao Body fully belongs to the Taoist lineage body refining techniques.

In Taoism, Dragon and Tiger represent Yin Yang Power, which is Heaven and Earth Dao, Yin Yang transformation, shrouded in mystery.

The Dragon and Tiger True Dao Body nominally gathers Dragon and Tiger power to refine the body; in reality, it uses the flow of Yin Yang Power to temper the body, aligning oneself with Heaven and Earth Dao.

In terms of physical power, Dragon and Tiger True Dao Body is similar to True Martial Nine Yang Holy Body, but once the Dao Body achieves Great Success, imbued with Dragon and Tiger Yin Yang Power, it can ward off evil and defilement, resist all poisons, and repel any alien forces from entering Han Zheng's body.

The might of these two True Pill Realm techniques greatly satisfies Han Zheng, and it can be said that they are exceptionally rare techniques sought after by the outside world.

Han Zheng spent the night familiarizing himself with the techniques, and by the next morning, he followed Qi Zhangwu to attend court and meet the Emperor.

The Great Zhou court session was at the hour of Chen, not too early.

This was revised from centuries ago.

Initially, the Great Zhou's court session was at the hour of Yin, which was practically midnight, making the civil officials miserable. frёewebηovel.cѳm

In later stages, as the Great Zhou court gradually decayed, the Emperor indulged in pleasures, unwilling to rise so early, thus shifting the court session to the hour of Chen.

For this court session, Qi Zhangwu finally shed his loose robes and donned the Profound Black Dragon Armor, symbolizing the Grand Commander of the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

The Profound Armor bore a lifelike Black Dragon, its tail on the back, winding its way to the front of the chest.

Above the Dragon Eye shimmered a fierce red glow, giving an impression of ferocity at first glance.

Qi Zhangwu yawned: "Attending court is truly a troublesome affair, not to mention getting up so early, the efficiency is exceedingly low."

Han Zheng looked at the busy pedestrians and vendors on the street; now considered early?

"Let's go; I'll show you the Great Zhou court."

Qi Zhangwu called Han Zheng and headed directly towards the Imperial Palace.

The Demon Cleansing Bureau is not far from the Imperial Palace, so they could walk there.

Some officials whose homes are far from the Imperial Palace even need to ride horses.

During Han Zheng's stay in the Capital City, he had only looked at the Imperial Palace from afar, but upon truly reaching the Great Zhou Palace, he felt its grandeur and splendor.

The city walls soared high, coated in gold paint, and the golden glazed tiles upon the grand hall gleamed under the sunlight, like a flowing golden sea, exceptionally magnificent.

Entering the palace gate, the floor was paved with neat bluestone slabs, inscribed with mysterious array patterns, surrounding the entire Imperial Palace with arrays.

The square in front of the grand hall had no buildings, just a barren expanse, flanked by hundreds of elite Imperial Guards in black and red armor.

It's said this was intentionally designed to deter assassins from hiding within.

But in reality, this layout is largely unnecessary.

The Great Zhou Emperor is protected by Dragon Vein Qi Fortune, seldom worried about assassination threats.

Qi Zhangwu led Han Zheng into the court hall, standing directly in front of the crowded officials.

Besides Qi Zhangwu, the Supervisor of the Observatory and the Grand Commander of the Dragon Martial Bureau, standing in front as representatives of the three superiors over Great Zhou's civil and military officials.

Below, the officials lined up in two rows, many whispering secretly, occasionally glancing at Qi Zhangwu and Han Zheng.

Within a day, the news of the Demon Cleansing Bureau conquering Duke Dingyuan's Mansion had spread throughout the Capital City.

Everyone knows that Qi Zhangwu, Grand Commander of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, is lazy and rarely attends court.

Whenever Qi Zhangwu attends court, it's always of monumental significance.

"His Majesty arrives!"

Accompanied by the shrill cry of a eunuch, a figure in a Dragon Robe strode out from behind the hall and seated himself upon the Dragon Chair.

"Pay respects to His Majesty!"

On the court, numerous ministers bowed in salutation.

Han Zheng followed suit, but did not bow his head, instead carefully examining the person seated on the Dragon Chair.

His physique was imposing, his visage stern and commanding, looking not at all like an eighty-year-old, more like a robust fifty or sixty.

His eyes were piercing like a hawk's, sharply scrutinizing the civil and military ministers below.

He is the current Great Zhou Emperor, Yuanlong Emperor Ji Taichang!
