Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 505: Chapter 250: Any Who Offend Me Shall Be Slain

「Several days later.」

In a side room of a True Disciple’s courtyard.

Chen Cheng stood tall, stark naked, his feet planted on sharp Iron Thorns.

A ferocious expression twisted his features!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Several heavy Iron Balls, each the size of a millstone, plummeted from above, relentlessly smashing down upon his Skull!

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!

With every impact, Chen Cheng’s head buzzed, his scalp tingled, and his skull vibrated, feeling as if it would shatter on the spot!

The immense force of the Iron Balls drove his body downward, sending a sudden, sharp pain lancing up from the soles of his feet.

A moment later, his entire body was wracked with pain, and he couldn’t help but let out a series of muffled groans.

This was the final stage of Cultivation for the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt.

Iron Ball Crown! Stepping on the Edge of the Blade!

[Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt Cultivation Progress increased.]

...

As he continued his Cultivation, notifications from the panel appeared frequently.

And Chen Cheng’s expression grew even more ferocious!

’Not enough! Harder!’

The Qi Blood Power around him surged, its heavy ripples churning like a raging tide.

The large Iron Balls above plummeted with increasing speed and ferocity!

Countless Iron Beads flew about in a frenzy, each carrying heavy and ferocious power.

They smashed into Chen Cheng from all directions!

The sharp points of the Iron Thorns under his feet also began to spin like corkscrews, stabbing ferociously!

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!

Amidst the dense and heavy barrage, Chen Cheng’s eyes were cold, brimming with fighting spirit!

Horizontal Cultivation Techniques were as much about combat as they were about cultivation!

An unknown amount of time passed. Chen Cheng’s muscles were now knotted and his skin taut, giving him a powerful and imposing physique.

"HUUU!"

After enduring another round of swift and violent impacts, Chen Cheng let out a long breath.

Immediately, a low hum emanated from him. This sound, however, burst forth from his bones, traveled through his Major Tendons, and finally resonated through his skin.

It was his bruised and battered skin that vibrated to produce the lingering sound.

As the dragon’s roar sounded, scales suddenly materialized on his skin.

The scales vanished in a flash!

Chen Cheng couldn’t help but grunt again.

This Cultivation session had once again pushed his body to its absolute limit.

He called up his panel to check.

[Skills: Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt (Great Success 8155/10000)]

The Cultivation of the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt became slower the closer one got to the end.

Especially the final techniques; even with a physique as formidable as Chen Cheng’s, he could barely withstand the pain of the Cultivation.

’According to my master, Horizontal Cultivation Techniques like the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt are a Water Grinding Skill. They require gradual, slow Cultivation.

’Without eight or ten years, it’s difficult to reach the Perfection Realm.

’In my pursuit of speed, I’ve pushed myself to the absolute limits of what my body can endure in every single session.

’The pain I’ve borne is likely several, or even dozens of times greater than that of other Martial Artists.

’And my physique is far stronger than other Martial Artists, which makes it all the more difficult.

’But all this hardship is worth it. Although I haven’t reached the Perfection Realm yet, I’m already on the verge of manifesting the legendary Dragon Scale Armor.

’Once I reach Perfection, I should be able to form the First Layer of the Dragon Scale Armor.

’After that, I can continue to cultivate the Dragon Scale Armor Stance.

’By relying on the Dragon Scale Armor Stance, combined with my Great Power Realm, I might be able to clash head-on with Treasure Level weapons.

’If I can further cultivate the Dragon Roar Realm, I can condense the Dragon Scale Armor Stance even more, reaching the Ninth Layer.

’At that point, I might even be like my master, able to withstand Divine Weapons and Sharp Blades with my bare hands!

’This is power unleashed through pure physical strength! It’s already far beyond the True Force of a Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm Martial Artist. Truly formidable!

’The future is full of promise!’

Chen Cheng got dressed, walked out of the side room, and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard to rest.

After such extreme Cultivation, his mind felt exceptionally clear and sharp.

He had indeed gained a great deal from Xia Lingfeng’s earlier guidance.

Regarding Realm Power, Xia Lingfeng believed that focusing on cultivating a single Realm to a profound level resulted in greater true combat strength.

This was obviously based on his own understanding of Realms, and it was a consensus shared by many Martial Artists.

For ordinary Martial Artists with limited energy and comprehension, focusing on a single Realm was undoubtedly the most efficient path.

The advantage of focusing on one Realm was the potential for explosive growth after a long period of accumulation. Once one cultivated it to the Second Layer Realm, they would become extremely formidable, and their true combat strength would see a massive increase.

But the drawback was also obvious: after cultivating the First Layer Realm, it took a very long time to comprehend the Second Layer Realm.

Many people might never even comprehend the Second Layer Realm in their entire lives.

As a result, their true combat strength would remain stagnant at the First Layer Realm for a long time.

They would be unable to contend with Martial Artists who cultivated several Realms simultaneously.

For example, the Ancestors of the Four Great Clans of the Linji City Inner City—those from the Jiang, Qin, and Wang families—all only comprehended their Second Layer Realm late in life.

Meanwhile, the Shen Family’s Ancestor, Shen Zhaoyi, had yet to cultivate a Second Layer Realm to this day.

For decades, these four had been stuck at the First Layer Realm, so their true combat strength was naturally much lower.

For this reason, many Martial Artists chose to cultivate multiple Realms in pursuit of practical combat ability.

Of course, cultivating multiple Realms wasn’t a blind process of simply picking whichever Realm’s power seemed most formidable.

Those who came before had already summarized a great deal of experience regarding this path.

The key was to match and combine various Realms to unleash even greater power.

For instance, with the Yin Yang Realm, one had to cultivate the Extreme Yin Realm and the Extreme Yang Realm, then achieve Yin Yang Unity to form a complete Yin Yang Realm.

Even at just the First Layer Realm, the power of a Yin Yang Realm far surpassed that of a solitary Extreme Yin Realm or Extreme Yang Realm. It could even hold its own against a single Second Layer Realm.

The same principle applied to Realms such as the Five Elements, Four Symbols, and Eight Trigrams.
