Elder Ouyang opened his eyes and instantly fixed his gaze on Lin Fei inside the Gravity Tower, who was step by step heading towards the ninth floor.
"Elder Ouyang, you..." Watching Elder Ouyang remain indifferent, the other martial saint elders grew increasingly anxious.
With a calm demeanor, Elder Ouyang shook his head and declared, "Elder Lin possesses the Qi Flower. Even the gravitational force of the ninth floor will not crush him. Elder Lin might not employ his true essence if I am not mistaken. He seeks to temper his physical body."
Hearing Elder Ouyang's words, everyone was taken aback. To refine one's body, did one need to brave the ninth floor? Besides, which Martial Saint without an Energy Flower could withstand the ninth floor's gravitational force with just their body? However, since Elder Ouyang assured them that Lin Fei would be fine, their worries abated, and their attention turned once more to the Gravity Tower, curious about Lin Fei's intentions.
Step by step, Lin Fei finally reached the ninth floor.
Boom.
Upon setting foot on the ninth floor, Lin Fei felt an immense shock enveloping his being. A terrifying, unparalleled gravitational force instantly acted upon him. Even the Blood Essence within him initially struggled to resist, being suppressed relentlessly. Lin Fei's body began to hunch over as if he couldn't stand upright. However, he forcefully resisted the urge to let saber essence cover his body. On the contrary, a trace of excitement emerged in his heart.
"Yes, this is the pressure I sought!"
The Blood Essence within Lin Fei was being continuously compressed.
Boom.
In the next moment, Lin Fei's Blood Essence surged, and a burst of blood energy emanated from him. Slowly, almost miraculously, Lin Fei's stature began straightening. This sight astounded everyone outside the Gravity Tower.
"Elder Lin hasn't even activated his true essence for protection?"
"This is the ninth floor of the Gravity Tower! How is Elder Lin resisting its force?"
"Incredible, truly inconceivable."
"Wasn't it said that without the Energy Flower, one simply couldn't bear the gravitational force of the ninth floor?"
"If I'm not mistaken, that should be blood energy, right?"
"Blood energy! Even a Martial Saint with an Energy Flower might not be able to harness such blood energy."
"Elder Lin indeed hasn't manifested an Energy Flower, that's an absolute certainty! But that's genuinely blood energy..."
For a moment, everyone was left in sheer awe. The revelation was even more astonishing than Lin Fei's entry to the ninth floor of the Gravity Tower. Blood energy! In a sense, a Martial Saint capable of generating blood energy was considered the pinnacle among Limit Martial Saints. Yet, Lin Fei, without manifesting the Energy Flower, could still produce such blood energy. This was indeed beyond belief.
Only one explanation could suffice. The foundation of Lin Fei's physical body was far beyond the imaginations of other Martial Saints. Even Elder Ouyang, always so indifferent, showed a significant change in expression, after witnessing Lin Fei's surge of blood energy, his gaze intently fixated on Lin Fei on the ninth level of the Gravity Tower.
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
This blood energy had another name, the Blood Energy Domain! In some ways, this Blood Energy Domain could rival the might of martial momentum. It's a unique ability attainable only through refining the physical body.
At this moment, within the Gravity Tower, as Lin Fei released his Blood Energy Domain, the pressure on him was significantly reduced. However, it wasn't that the pressure was gone, On the contrary, the pressure of the ninth level of the Gravity Tower remained unchanged. It's just that the pressure from the tower was entirely countered by his blood energy.
Yet, Lin Fei's blood essence continued to bear the brunt of the tower's pressure.
"Yes, this kind of pressure. Continue."
Lin Fei's blood essence was robust, but still, it was being suppressed. Bit by bit, the essence within was being compressed to its limits.
Initially, Lin Fei's blood essence had already reached its peak. It couldn't elevate any further. Even the Blood Essence Nine Transformations had reached its pinnacle.
However, with the current gravitational pressure of the tower's ninth level, Lin Fei's blood essence was further compressed. He faintly felt that he might actually be able to enhance his blood essence again.
"Let's try."
Lin Fei fetched the century Flood Dragon's flesh from the Sky Reaching Tower. Although he had almost completely refined the three Century Flood Dragons, there was still some left.
"Refine!"
Activating the Blood Essence Nine Transformations, Lin Fei consumed the Flood Dragon. An enormous amount of flesh was gradually transforming into blood essence.
Feeling the increase in his internal blood essence, Lin Fei remained calm. His goal had been achieved!
Watching Lin Fei meditate on the ninth floor of the Gravity Tower, outside the Gravity Tower, everyone was silent, unsure of what to say.
Others who entered the Gravity Tower did so with caution, mustering all their strength, trying every method to resist the gravitational force. But what about Lin Fei? He was cultivating! Moreover, he was cultivating on the most challenging ninth level of the Gravity Tower. How immense could that pressure be? It was beyond their imagination. No one below the realm of the Limit Martial Saint could probably resist such intense gravity. But Lin Fei managed. He was even consuming the flesh of exotic beasts, constantly cultivating, and enhancing his blood essence.
Many were silent. After a while, a disciple with a complicated expression looked at Lin Fei on the ninth floor of the Gravity Tower and bitterly commented, "Elder Lin was able to condense the Qi Flower so quickly. Now his physical body has reached such a terrifying level. The chances of him condensing the Energy Flower are high."
"There is absolutely no fluke here. Who can surpass such a determined will?"
Many martial artists remained silent. Indeed, they couldn't match Lin Fei's willpower. While others viewed the Gravity Tower with trepidation, Lin Fei saw it as an excellent place for cultivation. If such a person doesn't reach the pinnacle of martial arts, then who else is worthy?
Lin Fei was unaware of the discussions outside. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. At the moment, he was wholly engrossed in refining the flesh of the century Flood Dragon. Inside him, the blood essence was slowly but steadily increasing. The growth was slow, But it was gradually reaching its limits.
An hour, two hours, three hours...
"Hmm?"
Lin Fei opened his eyes. He surprisingly found that no matter how much the Flood Dragon flesh he consumed, his blood essence couldn't increase anymore. Furthermore, upon sensing the blood essence within, he finally felt a sense of "completeness". His blood essence had truly reached its limit!
"Now that my blood essence has reached its limit, there's nothing to hesitate about. I'll condense the Energy Flower right here..."
With a thought, Lin Fei immediately mobilized the blood essence within his body.
"Boom."
The next moment, Lin Fei's internal blood qi surged again. Simultaneously, a vast amount of blood essence erupted like a volcanic explosion, raging and torrential.
Following the methods detailed in Blood Essence Nine Transformations, Lin Fei meticulously began the process of condensing the Energy Flower.
"Energy Flower, condense!"
With a low shout from Lin Fei, streams of bloody luminescence above his head began converging together. Ultimately, it faintly took the shape of a blood-colored flower.
At this juncture, the blood essence within Lin Fei roared anew. The external blood energy skyrocketed, covering the entirety of the ninth level of the Gravity Tower in an instant!
"Whoosh."
Lin Fei abruptly raised his head. The entire ninth level was engulfed in the tumultuous surge of blood energy. The Energy Flower was formed!
