Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 173 - Heaven Piercing Spear, Illusory Primeval Vessel

Chen Fan had finally advanced to the Yuanfu realm.

Finally, he could sense the complexity of the primeval qi in heaven and earth and its treacherous and fickle nature.

High up in the skies were countless qi current vortexes that could twist steel into powder.

Chen Fan's formidable strength surged within him as he took a shallow breath. Strands of primeval qi and the sun’s essence condensed into fiery primeval qi, seamlessly integrating into his life essence.

The Heaven Seizing Art, an unparalleled divine art, could plunder the primeval qi of heaven and earth for self-strengthening. It could also plunder all the power in the world for his use.

The moment Chen Fan advanced to the Yuanfu realm, the small golden person deep in his brow radiated golden light. The light rushed into his sea of consciousness like a golden flood, turning into a massive stream of information.

After a while, a glint appeared in Chen Fan's eyes.

Heaven Piercing Spear.

The stream of information turned out to be a martial art, its tier unknown but undoubtedly not below the profound tier.

Buzz...

A buzzing sound echoed as qi currents simultaneously shot out of Chen Fan’s every pore, akin to a steam whistle.

As he rubbed his hands, his formless primeval force suddenly became tangible due to the high degree of condensation.

Primeval force gathered on his palm; instead of scattering away, it experienced a qualitative change, producing a crunching sound. The primeval force solidified significantly, transitioning from a gaseous to a steel-like solid state.

A simple and unadorned battle spear appeared in Chen Fan's hand, seemingly crafted from stone and exuding an ancient aura.

Condensing the primeval force into a weapon.

The spear in Chen Fan’s hand emitted an aura that seemed like it could pierce through the heavens, condensed by revolving his primeval force in a specific method.

Heaven Piercing Spear!

A martial artist at the seventh or eighth level of the Qigong realm could condense their primeval qi into weapons. However, it required intricate circulation routes, various combinations of primeval qi emitted through acupuncture points, and adherence to their respective cultivation techniques to form the weapon.

Haphazard attempts at condensation would result in weak and fragile weapons.

In the Yuanfu realm, the weapons condensed using primeval force were comparable to treasures.

For example, take this Heaven Piercing Spear—ancient and simple, with an inkstone-like texture. Its thick and oppressive aura resembled that of a god or a devil. The blood-dripping tip gave the impression that it could drag one’s soul to hell.

Brandishing the spear, Chen Fan appeared like a battle god dominating the earth.

“Heaven Piercing Spear, stab!”

Rumble!

An enormous power was revolving crazily within him, creating vortexes inside. The vortexes released their strength, and that enormous power grew even more ferocious and concentrated. Upon activation, an explosive force erupted from his hand.

The Heaven Piercing Spear streaked through the air, covering several hundred steps before hitting a mountain.

The mountain, like a block of tofu, failed to stop the Heaven Piercing Spear. A noise rang out, and a pitch-black hole appeared in the mountain, its depth unfathomable.

“How powerful! I doubt even second-level Yuanfu realm experts could surpass the speed and force of this spear's penetration," Chen Fan remarked, observing the deep hole in the mountain and the vaporized rock. He now understood the strength of the Heaven Piercing Spear.

“Undefeated King’s Fist!”

Chen Fan shouted, executing this quasi-profound tier martial skill repeatedly.

His qi revolved, and the afterimages of his fists piled up on a mountain as his punching speed increased.

Every move tore through the air, leaving the ground looking like a massive ax had scraped past, shaving away a thick layer of dirt and rocks.

Having advanced to the Yuanfu realm, the power of this quasi-profound tier martial skill, long mastered by Chen Fan, had elevated significantly.

Chen Fan realized he couldn't use the Heaven Piercing Spear casually to avoid exposing its capabilities and inviting potential disaster.

He concluded that he needed to practice a few profound tier martial skills upon returning to the sect and entering the inner sect. Relying on the Heaven Piercing Spear in every battle would be impractical.

His cultivation level had risen, but his martial skills were too poor.

He had only practiced the Thousand Hand Seals, Thunderclap Sword, Golden Light Palm, Undefeated King’s Fist, and Heaven Piercing Spear.

Except for Undefeated King's Fist, which still held some utility, the other three martial skills were too weak for him.

Although they were all middle-and upper-dirt tier martial skills, they were only suitable for martial artists in the Qi Gathering realm to practice.

Yuanfu realm experts usually practiced martial skills that were profound tier or higher.

The Chen Clan only had one profound tier cultivation technique. And their highest tier martial skill was only an upper-dirt tier one.

They had confiscated two quasi-profound tier martial skills from the Tan and Liu clans’ treasury. However, their powers were much inferior to the Undefeated King’s Fist, so Chen Fan did not intend to practice them at all.

At present, what he sought were authentic profound tier martial skills.

However, he couldn’t rush out to get one. Chen Fan would have to wait until his return to the sect and entry into the inner sect to explore ways to obtain and practice them.

“Now then...”

Although he had advanced to the next realm, he didn’t return to the Chen Clan immediately. With a flip of his palm, the tortoiseshell he had obtained at the Tan Clan’s secret vault appeared.

He carefully studied the Nine Illusory Primeval Vessel Secret Art, memorizing some key points.

About an hour later, Chen Fan shut his eyes and started trying to cultivate the Nine Illusory Primeval Vessel Secret Art.

An invisible power enveloped Chen Fan’s primeval vessel, making it tremble slightly.

As time passed, the frequency of his primeval vessel’s trembling became faster.

Gradually, it seemed as if a hand had seized the shadow of his primeval vessel, violently trying to pull it out.

An immensely potent ripple of primeval force erupted from the primeval vessel, coursing through Chen Fan's entire being.

“Ugh!”

Chen Fan let out a low grunt. Even with his tough physique, he felt a ripping pain from the impact. He took a deep breath and continued very carefully and cautiously, stopping immediately if any change occurred.

It would be a great loss if he couldn’t cultivate the first illusory primeval vessel and made his real primeval vessel collapse instead.

Time passed slowly as sweat gradually covered Chen Fan's cheeks.

Within his dantian, the shadow of his primeval vessel was pulled out, even if only slightly.

This development excited Chen Fan; an illusory primeval vessel, essentially the shadow of his original primeval vessel, began projecting out.

One would need to expend much effort to pull out this “shadow.”

Chen Fan calmed himself and slowly pulled on this shadow bit by bit. The shadow underwent gradual changes, growing larger over time.

Once the shadow was completely out, it would become a transparent primeval vessel—an illusory primeval vessel.

Three days later.

Boom!

As the last bit of the shadow was pulled out, an illusory primeval vessel materialized, standing beside the original primeval vessel. A boundless aura surged out from Chen Fan like a wild horse out of control.

Then, Chen Fan opened his eyes; they shone with joy.

Success!

The first illusory primeval vessel had been formed!
