Supreme Emperor of Mist

"This... This is no longer the Flesh Refining Layer... How can it turned out to be like this?" all the experts around Qin Lan and Yang Yuan questioned Qin Lan's cultivation and how he managed to do it.

It was no secret that there are nine levels in each layer of cultivation.

Be it in Flesh Refining, Bone Reconstruction, and Spiritual Root Establishment, it was the same in each layer.

But what would it happen when one managed to come out with something extraordinary and created the tenth level? It would become a wonder in the world of cultivation, where no rules saying that it cannot be done.

Nine levels.

There are also nine flaws to be mended through the Mistral Flesh Diagram. But due to certain enlightenment, surprises, and fate, Qin Lan accidentally stumbles across the chance to solve the tenth flaw. The flaw turned out to be his destroyed core.

And with ten flaws come ten levels of refinements. Ten was an even number, and it also stands for the measurement of perfection. This made the results from Qin Lan's ten levels of Flesh Refining Layer turned out to be a once-in-a-lifetime miracle.

A Spiritual Container Body.

The Mistral Foundation Art from Kuangshan Lu Sect.

An Unflawed Mistral Flesh Diagram.

And with his ten levels of Flesh Refining Layer.

Putting them together into an individual, making it understandable why Qin Lan's real strength ended up as a surprise to all the other individuals.

It was because his strength was equivalent to a fourth-level Bone Reconstruction Layer cultivator. Furthermore, Qin Lan had converted almost 90% of his Spiritual Qi into Foundation Qi.

"This... Is impossible..." Yang Yuan stares hatefully at Qin Lan. He still finds it difficult to believe that Qin Lan's strength is above him while he's yet to advance to the first level of the Bone Reconstruction Layer.

"Did you not say that the powerful lives and the weak cower?" by the time Qin Lan speaks, the spear in his hand was entirely formed. Its beautiful silver luster gently shines around Qin Lan, but void of any intention to robbing the brilliance of its master.

"Lightning Grinder!" Yang Yuan charged forward. The attack that once threatened the collaboration of Qin Lan, Sun Wu Jian, and Shan Xiong Xin when they're chased by him across the Kuanglei Province's border now seems so simple.

"Can't you get a little more serious in this fight?" Qin Lan smiled. The sword in Yang Yuan's hand was about to be separated from his grip by a swing from Qin Lan's Pillar of Kuangshan. But the more he doesn't want to let go, the further he flew away from the rebound.

The exchange of their first blow made Yang Yuan realized that this opponent was above his level no matter from which point he's looking at.

"Aargh!"

"Thunder Raging Formation! Precelestial Palace Transformation!" Yang Yuan took the distance between them to execute the exquisite martial art he never revealed to the outsider before.

"Good. Now you're finally getting serious." Qin Lan jokes. A hint of Foundation Qi gathered right on his speartip. Followed with a wide swing, Qin Lan executed an energy attack that reaches Yang Yuan in a flash.

*TANG!!!*

That blast throws Yang Yuan at least ten steps further back than before.

Even the soldiers behind him weren't spared as their heads rolled on the ground the moment Qin Lan's attack sweeps through them.

"Yang Yuan, Yang Yuan... Have you thought that you'll meet with an opponent like me?" Qin Lan asked as he made his way to where Yang Yuan is standing with his trembling hands.

The two previous attacks had almost crushed all his confidence as Qin Lan continued to attack his opponent physically and mentally.

"Junior brother Qin, careful." Leng Ching's warning came to his ears as he looks at Yang Yuan swallowing some pills.

"Roar!" Yang Yuan's power grew out of sudden. As he turned into a monster with bloodlust, Yang Yuan's attack grew significantly more powerful. He even tried to catch Qin Lan's Pillar of Kuangshan using his bare hand when it came from his left.

*Tang!*

This time, the exchange is less favorable as Yang Yuan was still at the same spot after receiving the attack. Two roaring bolts were seen as Yang Yuan threw his sword at Qin Lan.

"Bang! Bang!" Qin Lan easily deflected the sword, but this gave the Thunder Roaring Palace's disciple a chance to sneak behind Qin Lan to deliver a frontal blow.

"Precelestial Roaring Fist!" a Thunderous Qi followed Yang Yuan's attack as his attack reaches Qin Lan.

But how could Qin Lan let Yang Yuan achieve his aim? Using the Crimson Mist Steps to move around, Qin Lan repositioned himself favorably with a golden light around his fist.

"Golden Lord's Holy Fist!" Qin Lan retaliates.

The two attack blows both of them back over twenty to thirty steps until they crash into the soldiers on their path. Yang Yuan was already not around by the time Qin Lan stands back on his feet.

'Damn! No matter how strong I am, Flesh Refining is still a Flesh Refining. I can't compete with a Bone Reconstruction through my physique alone.' Qin Lan complained.

Holding the Pillar of Kuangshan on both hands, Qin Lan blocked Yang Yuan's attack from his left once more. The impact tossed him up into the air, where it suited what Qin Lan wanted.

"One Spear!" Qin Lan shouted. The Foundation Qi in his body came out like a spiral as it gathered around the tip of his Pillar of Kuangshan.

"Ruling the World!" this time, the attack was much more intense than when Qin Lan fought against the Raging Beast Soldier. The silver light from the spear was accompanied by an azure glow as it struck Yang Yuan on the ground.

"BAM!" a crater at least half a meter deep was created as the attack landed on Yang Yuan. But the latter seems to be still alive as he laughed hysterically.

"Good! Good! Let's continue!" not even a single injury is seen on Yang Yuan's body as he took a leap into the sky. Both his hands are holding firmly on the sword as he swung it at Qin Lan's position.
