Chapter 46: Copper Skin Iron Bones, Eleventh Transformation

Chapter 46: Copper Skin Iron Bones, Eleventh Transformation

A tense and solemn atmosphere lingered within the pavilion.

"It’s fine."

Chen Feng’s expression turned calm as he smiled faintly, speaking unhurriedly, effortlessly dissolving the faintly oppressive tension.

"Even if Ye Yunqi truly becomes a Quasi-Sect Heir, he won’t be able to stir up any waves."

To be fair, ever since he defeated Ye Yunqi with a single sword strike months ago, the pressure Ye Yunqi once posed had completely dissipated.

A mere defeated opponent, having lost to him once, would never have another chance to rise again.

His bloodline broken and then reborn, ascending to Saint-Level?

So what?

Breaking through to the Eleventh Transformation of the Body Forging Realm earlier than him?

So what?

Back when they were still at the Huntian Dao Academy in the Great Xia Kingdom, Ye Yunqi was at the peak of the Eighth Level of the Body Forging Realm, while Chen Feng was only at the Third Level—weak as an ant in his presence.

But now?

His gaze had long since moved beyond Ye Yunqi.

Those like Xiao Xuanwu and Yuan Hualong were the opponents he would face next.

And even beyond them…

To Chen Feng, news of Ye Yunqi was nothing more than a minor distraction during his cultivation.

But to others, it was undoubtedly a major event.

Chen Feng’s name was once again brought up, compared to Ye Yunqi, and met with widespread disdain.

Yet none of this concerned Chen Feng.

He continued tempering his bones with his overwhelmingly powerful sword Force.

Half a month later, his bones took on a faint iron-gray hue.

"Copper Skin Iron Bones has finally been preliminarily mastered. It’s time to break through…"

With this thought, Chen Feng gathered his momentum and began charging at the bottleneck.

Mastering Copper Skin Iron Bones meant one foot was already in the Eleventh Transformation of the Body Forging Realm—breaking through was no difficult task.

His Force circulated through the Grand Cycle, flowing endlessly through his body, surging between his skin, muscles, bones, and even his internal organs, layer upon layer, ceaseless and boundless.

Under the effect of Copper Skin Iron Bones, his Force also underwent a gradual transformation, growing increasingly formidable.

The Force of the Body Forging Realm grew stronger with each advancement, especially during breakthroughs, where the increase was particularly noticeable.

For three days straight, Chen Feng neither ate nor drank, ceaselessly cultivating without pause.

His circulating Force suddenly halted, and his body trembled, releasing a thunderous roar that shook the surroundings. A wave of air exploded outward, reverberating astonishingly within the pavilion.

Chen Feng’s skin took on a faint bronze hue, while his bones radiated a faint iron-gray luster.

His aura grew even more imposing.

His Force transformed into a vast, surging tide, as if shattering some invisible shackles, continuously seeping out from within his body and covering his surface. Though invisible and colorless, it flowed like water without end.

"My cultivation has finally broken through…"

Chen Feng raised his hands, watching the flowing Force and sensing the increasingly formidable power it contained. Unconsciously, a smile appeared on his face.

Nearly half a year after joining the Huntian Sect, he had progressed from the initial Ninth Level of the Body Forging Realm to the Eleventh Transformation, preliminarily achieving the goal set by his master.

An indescribable elation surged within him.

But the exhilaration did not last long before gradually settling into calm.

"The Eleventh Transformation of the Body Forging Realm is just a small goal. My true aim is to forge a Supreme Body Forging Foundation, preferably awakening a Hidden Treasure and mastering Destiny Power," Chen Feng murmured to himself.

The gap between the Eleventh Transformation of the Body Forging Realm and the Supreme Body Forging Realm—let alone awakening a Hidden Treasure and mastering Destiny Power—was immense. "However, advancing from the Tenth Transformation to the Eleventh Transformation has doubled both the depth and purity of my Force. The only downside is the staggering consumption of Blood Coagulation True Pills..."

In just over two months, he had consumed more than two hundred Blood Coagulation True Pills.

It could be said that for those without substantial resources or backing, breaking through to the Eleventh Transformation of the Body Forging Realm was nearly an impossible dream.

"I should share this good news with Master..."

With those words, Chen Feng leaped into the air, his agile body transforming like a dragon soaring through the sky, tracing an elegant arc as he gracefully flew out of the pavilion.

This was none other than the supreme movement technique—Heaven and Earth Wandering Dragon.

Moving with the grace and power of a dragon, Chen Feng soon arrived at the entrance of Wang Yuandao's pavilion.

"Come in," a gentle voice called from within.

Chen Feng stepped inside and bowed respectfully before Wang Yuandao.

"You've broken through," Wang Yuandao remarked, his sharp eyes flashing as if instantly seeing through Chen Feng's progress.

"Master..." Chen Feng grinned and gave a thumbs-up.

"Don't grow complacent. The Eleventh Transformation of the Body Forging Realm is not your final goal. I hope you can reach the Twelfth Transformation to compete with the true prodigies—and, ideally, forge a Supreme Body Forging Foundation," Wang Yuandao said, his words unhurried yet carrying immense authority. "The Hidden Dragon Secret Realm will open in less than half a year. Train diligently, strive to further improve your cultivation, and master greater strength. Only then will you have a chance to seize more opportunities within the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm."

"Your disciple will remember," Chen Feng replied solemnly.

"Since you've broken through to the Eleventh Transformation of the Body Forging Realm, I will submit an application to the Huntian Palace to have you promoted to Quasi-Sect Heir," Wang Yuandao added.

These matters required no further consideration from Chen Feng.

"Thank you, Master." What else could Chen Feng say but express his gratitude?

When Wang Yuandao submitted the application to the Huntian Palace, news of Chen Feng's breakthrough to the Eleventh Transformation of the Body Forging Realm inevitably spread.

"Juejian Peak's disciple has also reached the Eleventh Transformation of the Body Forging Realm..."

"His cultivation speed is actually quite remarkable..."

"No matter how remarkable, it's just high comprehension. His ceiling still can't compare to the top-tier divine prodigies. Even if he can keep up now, he'll eventually fall behind, left far in the dust."

Black Tide Hall of Tiancang Peak.

"Chen Feng!"

Ye Yunqi's eyes burned with murderous intent.

Every time he heard that name, his chest tightened, and his hatred surged like a flood breaching a dam or a volcano erupting.

Until he cut Chen Feng down with his blade, this feeling would not fade—instead, it would fester with time, growing more intense until it became unbearable.

"Six months. You have at most six months left."

"This time, your breakthrough to the Eleventh Transformation of the Body Forging Realm was slower than mine. From now on, your progress will only lag further behind..."

The thought of being able to forcefully kill Chen Feng in six months filled Ye Yunqi with delight, and he laughed heartily.

"Eleventh Transformation of the Body Forging Realm..." Yuan Hualong showed a trace of surprise but remained indifferent.

"Eleventh Transformation of the Body Forging Realm—I wonder how strong he is?" Xiao Xuanwu revealed a hint of interest, a glimmer of battle intent flickering in his eyes.

Though he also believed Chen Feng was overly arrogant and ignorant, he couldn’t deny that Chen Feng’s swordsmanship was truly exceptional.

At the very least, for now, he could serve as a worthy opponent.

As for the future, he would inevitably be left far behind.

...

Unaware of everything happening outside—and even if he knew, he wouldn’t care—Chen Feng never left Juejian Peak, fully immersed in his cultivation.

He continued refining his Copper Skin Iron Bones through Force refinement while comprehending and practicing sword techniques and various martial arts.

Until three months later...
