Chapter 113: Innate Realm, Instant Breakthrough!

The size of a human hand is limited; there are too many things it cannot hold. Xu Xi never thought he could change the world, nor did he believe everything would go as he wished. He was just a man, not an omnipotent god. But, people should always do something. When encountering unpleasant things, one should strive to change them. If one always lowers their head and ignores them, the gloom in their heart will only accumulate. At least this time, Xu Xi wanted to try solving things the “reckless” way. Within his capabilities, he would punch, slash, and eradicate all evil spirits.

[The inner flame burns the self]

[The winter’s cold wind pierces to the bone, like needles piercing the soul, but you only feel the heat]

[You speculate that perhaps practicing martial arts for too long has gradually made your behavior and thinking habits more straightforward, like a martial artist]

[You don’t dislike this change]

[Some things cannot be done with too much clarity; only a heart full of rage can provide the momentum to move forward]

[The second wave of the demon tide arrives quickly in winter]

[Qingniu Town enters a defensive state, and martial artists led by you rush out of the town to actively confront the invading demons]

[With long bows, hammers, or swords]

[The martial artists burst with their inner energy, unleashing martial techniques that light up the sky, tearing and destroying the bodies of the demons, among which your performance is the most astonishing]

[Your Nine Thunder Saber is like a bolt from the blue, with energy attached to the blade, slashing out a huge and brilliant arc of light]

[One slash kills six demons]

[Your strength deeply shocks the other martial artists, and even you are briefly stunned, realizing that your strength has improved]

[Having just broken through the Blood Replacement Realm this year, you show signs of reversing from postnatal to innate]

[You are deeply surprised, but the intense battlefield doesn’t allow you to be distracted, and you engage in battle with the demons again]

Kill.

Kill again.

Endless killing.

The dance of the blade, the shock of the fist.

Xu Xi’s figure swiftly moves through the icy snow.

With the Nine Thunder Saber gathering energy, forming a blood-red blade light, fiercely killing the Green-Winged Eagles that continuously harass from the air.

Then quickly turning back, stepping, and punching.

“Boom——!!!”

Xu Xi’s force rises from the ground, shaking the snow layer apart, fist against fist, force against force, fiercely attacking a Demon Ape.

An astonishing scene appears.

The fist several times larger than Xu Xi’s is blown into a mist of blood, with a strong wind and flying sand and stones, this exaggerated scene proves that Xu Xi’s strength far surpasses his opponent.

“Indeed, it’s not an illusion…”

“As the battle deepens, the bottleneck from postnatal to innate is gradually breaking down.”

“What exactly is this…”

Xu Xi’s eyes flicker, he sees clearly, his punch just now already had the embryonic form of an Innate Martial Artist’s Gang Qi.

That’s why he could crush the enemy.

“Continue!”

Xu Xi decisively seizes the opportunity.

Locking his gaze on other demons, with one breath, while the blood in his body is still burning, slashing with thunderous sounds, the continuous dazzling blade light is like a silver sea.

The more he kills, the more his inner energy fills.

The more he kills, the blood keeps boiling.

High-intensity combat, and the surging will, drive the energy to circulate rapidly within the body, back and forth through the internal organs.

Finally.

At the end of the battle, the energy circulation in Xu Xi’s body is completely perfected.

Not wasting time, Xu Xi finds a quiet room nearby, sits cross-legged to cultivate, making the energy circulate faster step by step.

“The Five Stages of Body Tempering mainly temper the martial artist’s body.”

“The body is the foundation of energy, a strong body can accommodate the galloping of energy.”

“But—”

Xu Xi murmurs: “Reversing from postnatal to innate, besides the requirements of energy, there are other elements.”

“To step into the Innate Realm, besides the most basic energy and body, there are also restrictions on the martial artist’s temperament and will, when did I…”

Xu Xi pauses, recalling the scene before, killing demons with a heart full of rage.

“So it’s like this…”

“The elixir obtained from Wu Yingxue quickly replenished my energy, skipping the normal accumulation stage.”

“And the demon tide in Qingniu Town made me face my true heart, killing demons without hesitation.”

“Finally, and most crucially.”

Xu Xi looks at the simulator panel that belongs only to him, his voice faint: “I have never stopped cultivating the martial path, the feedback from the Perseverance trait helped me fill the last piece of the puzzle.”

All doubts are resolved.

Xu Xi’s mood is agitated, operating the technique to mobilize the energy, making it continuously condense.

Zzz~~

Zzz~~

Strange sounds come from within the body.

Like blood boiling, like bones trembling, like skin vibrating, like internal organs jumping.

The whole body, the whole soul, the whole will.

Are all refreshed under the wash of energy.

Cleansing impurities, returning to simplicity, reversing from the filthy postnatal state to the pure innate state.

Innate Martial Artist.

Breaking through at this moment!

“Boom!!”

The heart beats, like a drum being struck violently, shaking the surrounding walls to drop dust, gently falling on Xu Xi’s surface.

Another shock, the dust is blown away again.

Like a highly efficient roaring machine.

Xu Xi’s body has stepped into a new realm, continuously blooming with energy red halos, even the world before his eyes has changed.

“Observation of Principles, observation of the principles of heaven and earth.”

“This is the first stage of the Three Innate Stages.”

“The first step for martial artists to truly rival other supernatural systems after tempering the body.”

“Observing the principles of heaven can clarify one’s nature, observing the principles of earth can enlighten one’s heart.”

“Observing heaven and earth to observe oneself, imitating heaven and earth to become heaven and earth.”

In the room, Xu Xi slowly stands up, the intense drumming heartbeat gradually calms, all the divine and supernatural return inside the body.

He gently raises his hand.

With Gang Qi attached, easily stirring up a strong wind.

Dispersing, gathering, repeating this process, until half an hour later, Xu Xi barely controls the operation of Gang Qi.

“Compared to immortal cultivation and magic, martial arts are indeed very peculiar.”

“Transforming oneself into heaven and earth, one’s will into the heavenly way…”

“No wonder martial arts are so powerful in the later stages, a punch and a kick equivalent to a heaven and earth smashing, how can it not be fierce?”
