Battle Through the Heavens: Live Q&a Session - Only I Know the Answers

12: Chapter 12 The Outbreak of the Calamity Poison BodyThe golden crow rose, mist pervaded the air, and this beautiful day kicked off with Chen Yang beginning his cultivation.

”Holy Light Technique!”

Chen Yang stood on the lush green grass, focusing on channeling the reward bestowed upon him by the system: the Holy Light Technique.

The Holy Light Technique was a powerful secret art ancestral to the Sacred Land of Fluctuation in Shrouding the Heavens. It was said to have been created by Empress Ruthless, containing infinite mysteries and immense power.

The Dou Qi within Chen Yang’s body gathered in his palm like a river. Brilliant golden light swirled and condensed in his hand, eventually forming a long golden sword. Golden light flowed slowly along the blade. Chen Yang grasped the hilt, carefully feeling the hardness of the blade.

”No wonder, things condensed by the Holy Light Technique can only be broken by the Holy Light Technique.”

The power of the Holy Light Technique deeply shocked him. His heart was filled with awe at its might; this was not something a mere Heaven Rank Dou Skill could compare to.

Items created by the Holy Light Technique could only be broken by the Holy Light Technique. In other words, as long as he did not cancel it, this sword could exist indefinitely. No one could break it, and no magical core weapon could compare to it.

Chen Yang began to experiment continuously, switching the sword into a blade, then into other weapons, practicing incessantly to deepen his proficiency with the Holy Light Technique.

”It seems that to condense a human form using the Holy Light Technique, one must break through to the Dou Huang or Dou Zong realm. With my current cultivation, I can only perform some rudimentary applications.”

After a round of practice, Chen Yang’s forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat. He could feel the Dou Qi within his body disappearing rapidly like a receding tide, nearly drying up.

Chen Yang gasped slightly, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, focused his mind, and circulated his cultivation technique to recover his Dou Qi.

Thanks to the reinforcement of the Undying Heavenly Art, his Dou Qi recovery speed far exceeded that of an ordinary person. In just a moment, his body was once again filled with Dou Qi, and he had regained his vitality.

Cultivation knows no time; in the blink of an eye, the sun had set behind the western mountains.

Watching the setting sun, Chen Yang concluded his cultivation for the day. He then rushed into the stream to wash himself thoroughly, packed up his things, stretched his weary body, and turned to walk toward the wooden house.

Just as he stepped into the valley, Chen Yang noticed from afar that the wooden house was surrounded by grayish-black gas. Seeing this scene, his expression changed drastically. Without time to think, he immediately unleashed a movement Dou Technique and darted toward the wooden house like an arrow released from a string.

Upon approaching the wooden house, Chen Yang immediately began to circulate the Undying Heavenly Art to devour the toxic gas escaping from within.

”Click.”

Chen Yang pushed the wooden door open violently, his gaze searching the room anxiously. He immediately saw Xiao Yi Xian lying on the ground. Her body was slightly curled up, her face pale as paper and devoid of color, and she was emitting black-purple gas. It was clear that Xiao Yi Xian was the source of the toxic gas.

Chen Yang looked up and, sure enough, saw a small pile of gray powder on the table in front of him.

A sharp pain pierced Chen Yang’s heart. He strode forward, crouched down, and gently lifted Xiao Yi Xian. He saw that her face was covered in black-purple lines, like hideous spiderwebs spreading wantonly across her originally beautiful face, a shocking sight.

Her lips had turned purple, and her breathing was weak; she was clearly heavily poisoned. Seeing this, Chen Yang shook his head helplessly, his eyes filled with pity.

He knew why Xiao Yi Xian was like this.

Chen Yang carefully picked up Xiao Yi Xian and gently placed her on the wooden bed. He then sat cross-legged on the floor, took a deep breath, and circulated the Undying Heavenly Art with all his might. A powerful suction force surged from his body, drawing all the toxic gas in the wooden house into his body and refining it into pure Dou Qi.

”Puff.”

A muffled sound resonated within his body, accompanied by a surge of vigorous power rushing through his meridians. Chen Yang successfully utilized the toxic gas to break through one more star, becoming an 8-star Dou Practitioner.

Watching the toxic gas dissipate, Chen Yang slowly stood up. He fetched a bowl of clear water, gently lifted Xiao Yi Xian, and slowly fed the water into her mouth. Afterward, he sat quietly by the bed, holding Xiao Yi Xian’s hand, silently waiting for her to wake up.

The morning sun rose, and a ray of sunlight shone through the window of the wooden house, landing on Xiao Yi Xian’s fair face. Her eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes, her face filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Turning her head, she saw Chen Yang holding her hand, asleep by the bedside. Xiao Yi Xian gently twitched her hand, not wanting to disturb Chen Yang’s sleep, but she did not expect that Chen Yang would still be startled awake.

”Xiao Yi Xian, you’re awake. Are you feeling better?”

Looking at Chen Yang’s concerned eyes, Xiao Yi Xian moved her lips, but she could not speak. Seeing her parched lips, Chen Yang hurriedly ran to fetch a bowl of clear water, gently lifted Xiao Yi Xian, and fed the water to her lips.

”Chen Yang, thank you for your care. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know what to do.”

After drinking the water, Xiao Yi Xian opened her tired eyes and said slowly in a hoarse voice.

Chen Yang placed his finger on Xiao Yi Xian’s lips to stop her from speaking, shook his head, and said.

”Xiao Yi Xian, you should rest well first. I’ll go make you some food so you can nourish yourself.”

After speaking, Chen Yang gently laid Xiao Yi Xian down, helped her tuck in the blanket, and turned to leave the wooden house.

Xiao Yi Xian watched Chen Yang’s retreating back, her eyes complex, containing indescribable emotions.

He was now going to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to find a magical beast to hunt so Xiao Yi Xian could nourish her body.

Chen Yang channeled the Soaring Dragon Wind-Drifting Step and dashed rapidly out of the valley.

In the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Chen Yang leaped repeatedly through the forest, searching for his target.

Chen Yang’s gaze was like a torch. Under a fruit tree not far away, a Second-Order Magical Beast, the Brute Force Ox, was resting. Seeing this, Chen Yang held his breath and crept over slowly, while constantly channeling the Secret of All within his body, hoping to increase his combat power tenfold and achieve a one-hit kill.

Chen Yang hid quietly in the bushes. Suddenly, his expression brightened. He circulated his Dou Qi frantically, immediately unleashed the Holy Light Technique, and condensed a long golden sword.

One leap!

Chen Yang plunged the long golden sword directly into the Brute Force Ox’s skull. Faced with the sword condensed by the Holy Light Technique, the magical beast’s proud hide was useless; even the magical core inside the Brute Force Ox’s head was pierced through.

The entire sequence of actions was smooth and clean, directly slaying the Second-Order Magical Beast, the Brute Force Ox!

Chen Yang let out a soft breath, walked forward to pull out the long sword, put the Brute Force Ox’s corpse into his storage ring, picked a few fruits from the fruit tree, and ran toward the valley.

Arriving outside the wooden house, Chen Yang skillfully lit a campfire. Beside the stream, he skinned and butchered the Brute Force Ox, put it into a pot to stew, and added some delicious medicinal herbs and seasonings.

The delicacy was ready. Chen Yang served it on a plate, washed a few fruits, and carried the plate into the wooden house.
