Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 873 - 471: Are You Sure? (3)

"Damn it!"

"Is it truly this difficult to fully refine my physique into jade bone?"

Chen Xuan expressed his frustration as, after half a day, the state of total unity dissipated; his jade bone transition had stalled just past the ninety percent mark.

He slowly opened his eyes, a look of profound disappointment clouding his face.

"Sigh!"

He let out a heavy breath, having assumed the state of unity would be sufficient to complete the jade bone tempering process, only to find the task remained unfinished.

"Why do you appear so crestfallen after reaching a new level of power?"

The rabbit and Xiaoqi had been waiting nearby, and the moment they sensed his cultivation session had concluded, they hurried into the study.

"Congratulations, Father..."

Xiaoqi bolted into Chen Xuan’s arms, his gaze filled with awe, "Father, you are incredible!"

"Obviously!"

Chen Xuan showed zero humility in front of his son, fully confident that he was indeed the most powerful.

"Your current combat prowess should easily rival the zenith of the seventh layer of Dao Realm, should it not?"

The rabbit observed him critically, focused intently on his physical form; even an ordinary Dao Realm cultivator would struggle to move him just by standing against his aura.

At his full capacity, he could contend with the seventh layer of Dao Realm peak.

Combined with his intrinsic strength and his mastery over the rule of space, it would be impossible to defeat him for anyone below the eighth layer.

"It is difficult to ascertain."

Chen Xuan remained uncertain, as he had never engaged in a genuine duel with someone at the seventh layer Dao Realm peak.

"It is truly a shame about the incomplete jade bone!"

Had he achieved the perfect jade bone, his physical state would have ascended to a significantly higher tier.

"Wait, what? You failed to fully attain the jade bone?!"

Even the rabbit lost its composure; it knew Chen Xuan had started with a half-formed jade bone, yet even after achieving a state of unity, it remained incomplete. Just how monstrously potent was his physical makeup from the start?

"Quite so; because the physique is so resilient, transforming it into jade bone is remarkably taxing. However, there is a silver lining: my body is far sturdier than those who formed their jade bones from lesser vessels."

Great difficulties often yield great rewards.

Otherwise, investing such vast resources for a mediocre outcome would be entirely illogical.

"You are a complete freak of nature."

The rabbit shook its head with a thin smile, "But I have certainly profited!"

A talent of this magnitude could stand among the legends throughout the history of the Eastern Continent, or indeed, the entire Supreme Domain.

Furthermore, he now possessed the Primordial Realm.

It was unimaginable—the rabbit truly did not dare to fathom the heights Chen Xuan would eventually reach.

By the same token, as his chosen spiritual beast, its own future achievements might very well eclipse those of the ancient monsters.

And when that day arrived... hmph!

It would finally settle the score with them.

"By the way, how exactly did you two manage to enter the state of unity?"

The rabbit’s eyes glittered with hope; had both father and son reached a state of unity purely by chance?

That would be entirely too absurd.

There must be some underlying technique.

If it could also achieve such unity, its prospects would improve drastically.

"You... likely cannot."

Chen Xuan shook his head firmly.

"And why is that?"

The rabbit grew restless; why would it be excluded? In terms of talent and pure bloodline, it was among the elite of the Spirit Realm.

The Demon Roar Heaven-Swallowing Rabbit was, after all, a supreme race.

"It is due to the cultivation technique. Xiaoqi and I entered unity because our Spirit and Martial dual-cultivation methods share a profound synergy. Would you be willing to switch to human-based cultivation techniques?"

The rabbit instantly deflated.

To transition to human cultivation methods was nothing but a fool’s dream.

The gulf between their species remained far too wide.

"Tell me, does the Spirit Realm possess its own method to reach a state of unity?"

Chen Xuan was intrigued, as reaching unity required the dual cultivation of spirit and technique with a highly compatible path.

However, the way spiritual beasts cultivate is drastically different from the human race.

How could they ever hope to achieve such a state?

"There are ancient records, though I lack the knowledge to replicate it."

In all likelihood, only those ancient monsters residing in the Spirit Realm would possess such secretive methods.

"Forget it; if it is not possible, it is simply not possible."

The rabbit exhaled heavily before breaking into a grin, feeling rather greedy for wanting more.

Aligning its fate with such a gifted master was already a rare blessing.

As long as Chen Xuan continued to grow in strength, he would eventually meet those ancient elites, and surpassing them was far from impossible.

"Rabbit, dampen your power to the peak of the seventh layer of Dao Realm and spar with me."

Chen Xuan issued the challenge abruptly, desperate to gauge his new limits.

Moreover, he sensed a peculiar, lingering sensation following the balancing of his spirit and martial aspects.

"Are you entirely certain?"

The rabbit verified his request.

Despite its current strength, it had already recovered to the eighth layer of Dao Realm.

It understood that the threshold between the seventh and eighth layers, though separated by a single digit, represented a massive chasm in actual performance.

Even if it suppressed its power to the seventh layer, Chen Xuan’s primary advantage was his iron-hard body, yet its own physique was arguably superior.

"Let us test it!"

With that declaration, Chen Xuan strode out of the study.

The rabbit shrugged fatalistically; it had issued a warning, so it could not be held responsible if he ended up frustrated.

It followed him into the open immediately.

"Wonderful!"

Xiaoqi cheered, rubbing his palms together, thoroughly entertained by the prospect of a clash between his father and Lord Rabbit.

They arrived several miles from the island.

悬-hovering midair, Chen Xuan and the rabbit stood a hundred meters apart.

"Come at me!"

The rabbit remarked with a lazy wave.

"Boom!"

Foregoing any pleasantries, Chen Xuan lunged forward, moving with such ferocity that the very space seemed to shudder.

He delivered a punch, relying solely on his physical force without the aid of his Qi.

The rabbit understood the goal immediately; he was testing the limits of his refined body.

It raised a paw, catching the blow with effortless stability.

"Bang!"

A deafening roar erupted as the collision of fist and paw sent a shockwave crashing outward, kicking up waves a thousand feet high in the water below.

Sensing the raw power of the impact, Xiaoqi scrambled backward, coming to a halt ten thousand meters away.

"So powerful!"

His face pale with shock, he realized that even these preliminary aftershocks sent tremors of danger through him.

"Bang bang bang..."

Explosions echoed continuously across the sky, though the movements of the combatants were too swift to follow.

The intensity of the confrontation was so severe that even Qin Ke, who had been in deep seclusion, was startled awake and hurried to join Xiaoqi.

"Father is sparing with Lord Rabbit, just look... they are terrifyingly strong!"
