Chapter 634: Chapter 414: Seventh Layer

Those two had Celestial Essence Third Level Cultivation. The possibility of Xu Yang counter-killing them was practically zero; Xu Yang couldn’t possibly have broken through to the Celestial Essence Third Layer at this time.

Huo Xiaochen’s face darkened. "I hope this kind of thing doesn’t happen again. Xu Yang’s life is mine."

If he couldn’t kill Xu Yang with his own hands, he would never recover the face he had lost. He immediately issued a warning to Fang Xu. He also didn’t believe that Xu Yang was the one who had killed the Fang family’s men. Jade Dragon Mountain was fraught with danger. Let alone the Celestial Essence Third Layer, even experts at the Celestial Essence Fourth or Fifth Layer frequently died there.

Hearing this, Fang Xu felt a pang of discomfort. Huo Xiaochen refused to kill Xu Yang himself, yet he wouldn’t allow anyone else to do it either. However, he couldn’t afford to offend Huo Xiaochen, so he could only nod in agreement.

Jade Dragon Mountain.

After searching high and low for a month, Xu Yang had found no trace of either a Fire Bear or a Dragon Horn Deer. Of course, his mind wasn’t entirely focused on completing his missions. Although he was in Jade Dragon Mountain, his daily life wasn’t much different from when he was at the Celestial Strategy Academy. He followed a strict daily Cultivation routine, only using his free time to search the mountains for Exotic Beasts and Spirit Medicine.

In a certain mountain valley, the sound of a saber whistled through the air. The Sword Intent resonated with the Power of Heaven and Earth, startling hundreds of birds into flight.

Xu Yang’s blade movements surged like a tide. He unleashed the Extreme Prison Heaven-Slaying Technique to its absolute limit. A fierce Sword Intent enveloped an area of several dozen meters. All the weeds were silently sheared in half, as if sliced by an invisible blade. His body moved in harmony with the blade. Flashes of saber light erupted from his hands, tearing through the air with piercing shrieks. Across the dozens of meters around him, saber marks crisscrossed the ground.

He was already drenched in sweat, but he didn’t stop.

The Sixth Layer of the Extreme Prison Heaven-Slaying Technique was only a few steps away from breaking through to the Seventh Layer. Today, he intended to push the technique into the Seventh Realm.

At a certain moment, his entire aura suddenly underwent a drastic transformation. It was as if he had embodied a blade himself. The razor-sharp Sword Intent seemed capable of tearing apart the very sky, as a blood-red Sword Aura shot up from his body into the heavens.

The surrounding space seemed to be sealed off, and everything ground to a halt. The severed blades of grass hung suspended in mid-air, flying debris froze in place, and even the wind seemed to stop blowing. In that instant, within a radius of dozens of meters, everything ceased to move—except for his blade.

"Extreme Prison Heaven-Slaying Technique, Seventh Layer. It’s done," he murmured.

The blood-red Sword Aura tore through the earth. Dust exploded into the sky, and the ground rumbled violently. Smoke and debris billowed upward, making the previous image of frozen space seem like a mere illusion.

Xu Yang knew it wasn’t an illusion. Of course, he hadn’t actually reached a heaven-defying Realm capable of sealing space. It was just a bizarre visual effect created by his terrifyingly fast drawing speed after mastering the Seventh Layer of the Extreme Prison Heaven-Slaying Technique. Space hadn’t stopped; rather, his blade was so fast that it created an image of relative stillness. When he delivered that strike, everything appeared frozen in his eyes.

"If I fought Yu Hong again, I could kill him in less than ten moves."

Having reached the Seventh Realm, the Extreme Prison Heaven-Slaying Technique not only boasted a faster drawing speed but also packed a far more devastating punch. Naturally, it also consumed a tremendous amount of energy. After unleashing that strike, he felt completely drained, collapsing onto the ground and gasping for air.

"I’m still short a Spiritual Soldier."

As he opened his Spirit Bone to absorb Spiritual Qi and slowly recover, he began to ponder. Given his current Cultivation and comprehension of the saber, the Fenli gifted by Elder Huoyun was no longer suitable for him. Only a Middle-tier Spiritual Weapon could truly unleash the maximum lethal power of his Cultivation and saber techniques. However, even the lowest-quality Middle-tier Spiritual Weapon cost ten times as much to forge as a Basic-tier Spiritual Weapon. He barely had enough Cultivation Resources as it was; he simply didn’t have the extra Spirit Coins to commission a Middle-tier Spiritual Weapon.

Once his stamina had mostly recovered, Xu Yang hunted an Exotic Beast and returned to his cave, continuing to consolidate his newly broken-through saber realm.

He didn’t leave over the next few days. With the Extreme Prison Heaven-Slaying Technique breaking through to the Seventh Layer, the progress of his Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture had also accelerated. Naturally, he prioritized his Cultivation. It was only five or six days later, when the progression speed of the Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture returned to normal, that he planned to depart.

"It’s been more than two months. I’ll stay for one more month, then head back."

Counting the days, he realized he had been in Jade Dragon Mountain for over two months. His harvest had actually been quite substantial. Just from the groups led by Han Yingjie and Yu Hong alone, he had looted over a hundred Spirit Coins, along with two stalks of Starlight Grass, a dozen or so Spirit Medicines aged around one or two years, and several Spiritual Soldiers.

"Senior Brother Sun should have broken through to the Celestial Essence Third Layer by now."

When he left, Sun Tao had already started attempting to break through to the Celestial Essence Third Layer. Given Sun Tao’s Comprehension, two months should have been more than enough time for him to succeed.

Packing his belongings, Xu Yang quickly left the area.

One day, he spotted a bare mountain from a distance. For miles around, not a single blade of grass grew, and massive plumes of smoke and dust billowed from its peak into the sky.

"I’ve finally found a volcano," Xu Yang noted with joy.

In Jade Dragon Mountain, the more bizarre the terrain, the more likely it was to produce treasures. Of course, it was equally likely to spawn extremely powerful Exotic Beasts.

He was no longer a greenhorn. He knew that many precious Spirit Medicines were guarded by formidable Exotic Beasts nearby. Approaching the region cautiously, he soon noticed that the closer he got, the denser the Spiritual Qi became, with the surrounding vegetation growing far more luxuriant than elsewhere.

"This is a place where Earth Vein Spiritual Fire erupts!"

Xu Yang had witnessed the Earth Vein Spiritual Fire of the Purple Sun Sect before. He knew that wherever Earth Vein Spiritual Fire existed, the air would be rich in Fire Spirit Power. If the Fire Spirit Power here was potent enough, he could use this place for Body Refining.
