Chapter 731, Lunar Saint Physique

Translator: Silavin

 

*Siii…* The moment they scaled the wall, gazing down at the Demonic Beasts surging below like an unstoppable tide, many could not help but draw in sharp breaths of shock. More alarming still, they witnessed cracks spreading across the wall under the relentless assault of the beast tide!

 

All this in a quarter of an hour!

 

At this rate, the gathering point would inevitably be destroyed by these creatures!

 

*Swoosh!*

 

At this moment, Qin Yichen had no time to worry about the gathering point’s fate. His gaze swept the surroundings before he shot explosively towards the western direction, where the concentration of Demonic Beasts appeared somewhat thinner.

 

*Swoosh! Swoosh!*

 

Over a dozen figures burst forward at tremendous speed, carving a path through the beast tide. At the vanguard, that leading figure was none other than Qin Yichen!

 

Seeing their progress proceed so smoothly, hope flickered in the eyes of many experts. Perhaps they truly could survive the night outside the gathering point after all!

 

*Roar!* But just as they began to feel optimistic, suddenly from deep within the beast tide ahead, an earth-shattering roar erupted.

 

A massive Demonic Beast slowly emerged, its violent and savage aura causing everyone’s expressions to drastically change.

 

” Peak Early Stage Martial Emperor Realm Demonic Beast!”

 

Staring at that enormous creature, everyone drew in another sharp breath. They had barely advanced a hundred metres, yet already encountered such a Demonic Beast. The difficulty of breaking through seemed far greater than anticipated.

 

“Don’t stop!”

 

Even as they froze in shock, Qin Yichen’s cold shout rang in their ears. Then, under multiple bewildered gazes, his figure continued forward without the slightest hesitation, charging towards the beast with unchanged momentum.

 

“Is he seeking death?”

 

“Does he not see such an enormous Demonic Beast?”

 

Witnessing Qin Yichen’s actions, alarm seized everyone’s hearts. They couldn’t help but wonder if the Evil Energy had addled his mind. Otherwise, why would someone at the Peak Martial King Realm dare to directly confront a Demonic Beast at the Peak Early Stage Martial Emperor Realm!

 

“Peak Early Stage Martial Emperor Realm, is it?”

 

Qin Yichen’s form moved like a wisp of smoke, flashing past several Martial King Realm Demonic Beasts, his momentum undiminished as he shot towards the massive creature before him.

 

*Roar!* The Demonic Beast, corrupted by Evil Energy, displayed nothing but violent savagery in its crimson pupils. Facing the figure shooting towards it, the beast raised its enormous claw and swung viciously, bringing with it a terrible, foul wind as it struck towards Qin Yichen.

 

Yet facing this palm strike capable of killing Martial Kings, Qin Yichen’s eyes showed no trace of panic. Instead, a terrifying gleam erupted within them.

 

[As expected, Demonic Beasts corrupted by Evil Energy possess intelligence that can be almost entirely disregarded compared to their normal state!]

 

*Whoosh!*

 

Just as that massive claw was about to strike him, Qin Yichen’s foot stamped down sharply. His figure dodged past the Martial Emperor Realm beast at an inconceivable angle. In that moment of intersection, a cold gleam traced a line of foul-smelling blood as it flashed by.

 

*Roar!*

 

In barely a single breath, Qin Yichen, originally thought to be courting death, continued forward with undiminished momentum. Meanwhile, that Peak Early Stage Martial Emperor Realm Demonic Beast crashed thunderously to the ground, blood streaming from a transparent hole pierced straight through its heart.

 

“He…”

 

Witnessing this scene, the doubt in everyone’s eyes instantly transformed into astonishment.

 

No wonder two Martial Emperors willingly accepted him as their leader. That seemingly brief and simple exchange had actually been extraordinarily dangerous! Had he been off by even the slightest fraction, Qin Yichen would have either died or been grievously wounded at minimum!

 

Now, no one hesitated any longer. All forms shot swiftly after Qin Yichen. Liu Yun and the other two Martial Emperors followed close behind him in the vanguard. Those who had previously been conserving their strength now brought forth their true capabilities, forcefully cleaving a path through the beast tide.

 

However, the deeper they ventured, the more grave their expressions became. In fact, their original group of thirteen had already lost three Martial Kings and one Martial Emperor!

 

At this point, they had no path of retreat. They could only charge forward.

 

*Sss!* Suddenly, a sound tore through the air. Then, one person fell with a scream. Though not dead, his thigh bore a through-and-through wound.

 

*Swoosh!* Qin Yichen’s mind moved, his Spirit Sword piercing through a Demonic Beast concealed in the shadows. But upon seeing that person’s condition, his brow furrowed.

 

“Forget about him. We must quickly break through!” Seeing him stop, Liu Yun immediately barked at him.

 

Though the man was not dead, having lost the use of one leg, he would only become a burden to the team.

 

The breakthrough already carried immense pressure. No one had the energy to care for him.

 

*Haaaa…* Qin Yichen sighed softly, helpless.

 

He possessed Pills that could rapidly heal injuries, but with the man’s thigh pierced through, his Pills lacked the miraculous efficacy to resurrect the dead or regenerate flesh from bare bone.

 

“Wait!” Just as they prepared to abandon that person, a somewhat timid voice emerged from within the group.

 

An agile figure stepped forward, approaching the man collapsed on the ground.

 

It was a young woman.

 

After reaching his side, she placed both hands over his wound.

 

As Qin Yichen prepared to urge her onward, he saw a milky-white radiance emerge from her palms.

 

The moment that ivory luminescence appeared, Qin Yichen sensed a wave of vigorous vitality. Instantly, his eyes widened dramatically. “Lunar Saint Physique!”

 

The Lunar Saint Physique was an extraordinarily rare Physique. Though it did not possess the overwhelming destructive power of various Supreme Martial Souls, it wielded a unique ability… healing!

 

While perhaps not quite capable of resurrecting the dead and regenerating flesh from bone in the most literal sense, it came remarkably close.

 

After a brief moment, the young woman stood and addressed the man. “It’s done.”

 

Qin Yichen’s gaze immediately fixed upon the wound.

 

The thigh that had been pierced through and bleeding profusely now showed the blood completely stanched. Moreover, the wound had not merely scabbed over. There was new flesh that had already begun growing.

 

[Truly worthy of being called the Lunar Saint Physique!] Qin Yichen’s eyes lit up.

 

He had heard of the Lunar Saint Physique’s reputation but had never witnessed it personally. Seeing it now, it indeed lived up to its legendary name.

 

He could not help but turn his attention to this young woman.

 

She appeared to be only in her twenties, not devastatingly beautiful, but possessing delicate features that gave off a fresh, natural feeling, like an orchid.

 

“Charge!” After only a single glance, Qin Yichen withdrew his gaze. His expression hardened as he and Liu Yun took the lead, continuing the breakthrough.
