Chapter 279 - 258: Fusion of Wind Dragon, Attempting to Leap Across the Abyss! (Double - )
Song Changming knows very well that once he breaks through the energy barrier above the abyss, all his efforts will not have been in vain.
Unfortunately, after advancing four or five more miles compared to before, while his flesh and blood body can still stand firm, maintaining an upright stance within this energy torrent that seems capable of tearing any object apart,
his inner energy is ultimately starting to struggle.
Firstly, the intensity of his inner energy is insufficient; moving further forward, his wind attribute blade qi is difficult to manifest, and it might be dispersed by this energy stream.
Secondly, the consumption is too great; although he has eight qi vortices storing a considerable amount of inner energy, he is facing the risk of inner energy depletion.
No wonder only those who have cultivated to the Innate Realm can cross this abyss freely.
Song Changming has further understood the Innate Martial Artists through collections of ancient texts.
Innate Martial Artists also possess inner energy, but it is usually no longer called inner energy but rather Innate Qi Aura!
With Innate Qi Aura, Innate Martial Artists can cross the void, walk on air, and protect themselves from the invasion of energy and magnetic fields of the abyss, ensuring their safety.
Their intensity is fully sufficient for Innate Martial Artists to traverse this forbidden abyss on earth!
Song Changming sighed inwardly, standing within the energy barrier at the center of the abyss, looking at the last stretch less than ten miles away, yet he could only retreat.
Innate Martial Artists need Innate Qi Aura for protection, but he doesn’t need it at all, relying solely on his well-tempered flesh.
What he lacks is the reserve of inner energy needed for swift passage, and perhaps there are other ways to help him cross those last ten miles.
Returning to the shore, one by one, Gluttonous Beasts were startled and crawled out of the abyss, lunging towards Song Changming.
Song Changming straightforwardly rode the Wind Dragon and left.
When he was far away from the abyss, he stopped to rest.
This attempt consumed him significantly, and the eight qi vortices were nearing exhaustion.
One can only say that without reaching the Innate Realm, such flight consumption is still too great, which is why he didn’t ride the Wind Dragon from the start.
It’s not cost-effective to fly some distance and deplete his inner energy, only to spend even longer recovering.
"Is there no way to cross the abyss..."
On a mountain top, Song Changming sat cross-legged, roasting a large Fierce Beast rib while pondering.
In his mind, the last ten miles to the other side were already not far away.
If he could condense another qi vortex, breaking through his inner qi cultivation to the Ninth Layer Realm, improving both the intensity and reserve of his inner energy, there might be some chance.
But in the spiritual qi environment of Da Lai, achieving Qi Refining Perfection at the Ninth Layer Realm is really difficult.
Fortunately, he has a long lifespan to recklessly squander, and if there is truly no other way, he can only wait for the day of breakthrough to attempt again.
"If the strength of True Yang Qi could hold out to the end..."
Song Changming then considered other methods.
Executing the Third Grade True Yang Technique, inner energy converted to True Yang Qi, which is undoubtedly far stronger than his Wind Dragon Blade Qi.
Yet the only drawback is that the consumption of releasing True Yang Qi far exceeds his Wind Dragon Blade Qi.
The intensity is sufficient, but the inner energy reserve becomes even more lacking.
Following this thought, Song Changming suddenly had a new idea.
If he doesn’t use inner energy in the first stage and only explodes with pure bodily strength to perform an extreme leap, he might save some inner energy consumption.
This idea may be useless for other Martial Artists, since despite having great lightweight skills, crossing one or two miles at the initial stage might be their limit.
Yet he is different; he possesses Wind Chasing Lightning, a trait enhancing speed, and a powerful Dragon Power as propulsion launch force, along with mastery of the Lightweight Martial Technique!
The distance he can cover is truly astonishing!
Of course, he hadn’t overlooked the idea of using external tools, like gliders from his past life.
But under the gravity magnetic field, they might be completely useless and merely a burden.
Having a plan, he naturally wants to attempt again.
Three days later, returning to the original abyss location.
Waiting for the energy flow to be at its weakest, Song Changming’s body sparkled with thunder light, as rocks began to shatter underfoot, arcs darting chaotically.
Song Changming’s hair danced, even his eyes seemed to explode with thunder light, crackling.
Without a moment’s pause, Song Changming accelerated at hundreds of meters away, rushing forward.
In an instant, he reached the edge of the abyss and exerted force suddenly.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, a massive rock pit appeared on the abyss edge!
Song Changming seemed to transform into a streak of lightning, vanishing swiftly from sight.
The scene shifts, Song Changming breaks through wind barriers, already rising to an altitude of a thousand meters, and continuing to ascend.
The hurricanes in the air could not stop him at all.
One mile, five miles, ten miles...
Song Changming suddenly realizes that when going all-out, the distance he covers is far greater than expected!
Mainly because in the past ten years, let alone such all-out leaps, even full-force battles have been few.
If it weren’t for the magnetic field gravity’s impact, he could merely rely on his Body Refining Power to leap into the central abyss location!
One can only say his physical strength has long exceeded common sense!
He cuts a long arc in the air, descending rapidly near the central abyss location.
