CHAPTER 230: INNATE REALM: GREAT COMPLETION

Though he knew he was no match for his opponent, Chen Tianjing charged forward without hesitation. As he closed in, several explosive sounds erupted from within his body as he spared no effort.

The latent blood energy hidden within his four viscera surged forth, propelling him straight into the mid-stage of the Innate Realm.

Off to the side, Liu Ziqi, who had been preparing to intercept Chen Tianjing, froze for a moment.

Even before Chen Tianjing detonated his organs, Liu Ziqi had found him difficult to handle. Now that his opponent was going all out, the overwhelming force of his blood energy scorched Liu Ziqi's skin.

Stepping in now would be asking for trouble!

Besides, this man wasn’t even targeting the clan members; his aim was clearly the martial artist from the Shi family. That thought eased Liu Ziqi’s mind considerably.

Moreover, judging from the strength the Shi family warrior had just displayed, he should have no problem dealing with the two of them.

Keeping this in mind, Liu Ziqi chose not to stop him, allowing him to leave freely. He turned and charged into the crowd, helping his clansmen relieve the pressure and suppress their opponents.

As he fought, he kept an eye on Chen Tianjing and the others.

When the number of Blood Coagulation Realm warriors was not overwhelmingly in their favor, the Innate Realm experts would ultimately decide the battle's outcome.

He had thought his intervention would ease the family’s burden, but the gap between major realms could not be easily erased.

However, just as he plunged into the fray, before he could defeat a single mid-stage Blood Condensation Realm warrior from the Chen Clan, a series of familiar explosions sounded beside him.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Looking around, Liu Ziqi saw that all the present Chen Clan members had unleashed the same Viscera Combat Technique combat technique that Chen Tianjing and the other man had just used.

This scene caused him to pause for a moment.

He finally understood why his great-uncle's branch had lost to the Chen family.

After detonating their organs, the Chen Clan warriors experienced an overall surge in power. Many of them even crushed the locust leaves they had prepared before setting out. The potent life force within immediately began repairing their bodies, slowing the rate at which their strength declined and further extending the upper limit brought by the Viscera Combat Technique.

At that moment, several Blood Coagulation Realm warriors from the Chen Clan besieged Liu Ziqi.

Though these men appeared old, the blood and qi they now exuded were so overwhelming that even Liu Ziqi, an Innate Realm expert, was slightly shocked.

The human body’s five viscera... Who would have thought they could unleash such terrifying potential? If only his clan possessed such a combat technique, he would have tried it himself without hesitation.

Although he was shocked, he could not afford to retreat now. Instead, he charged forward to face his opponents head-on.

"Ha! No matter how many ants there are, they're still just ants."

Meanwhile, Chen Tianjing had already rushed over to provide support. Facing two mid-stage Innate Realm experts, the masked man spoke with utter disdain.

It was as if the two were not even worth mentioning in his eyes.

Chen Tianjing and Chen Tianyu remained silent, their expressions solemn and focused.

This man indeed possessed the strength to back up his arrogance, but that alone was not enough to make the two of them fear him.

Although the divine power of the locust leaves could heal their injuries, the surging qi and blood brought by the Viscera Combat Technique were rapidly draining away. They would not be able to hold on for long. ʀ𝖆ΝO͍ВÈś

The two exchanged a glance, then charged at the masked man from left and right without hesitation.

Seeing them attack, the masked man showed no trace of fear. His hands curved into claws as he soared upward. A streak of blood-red light burst forth from his palms.

As the three of them clashed, a violent surge of qi and blood erupted in all directions, instantly drawing the attention of everyone nearby.

Under the crowd's gaze, Chen Tianjing and Chen Tianyu—who had given it their all—were struck down to the ground once again.

This scene caused many Chen clan members' expressions to turn grim. After all, following their Viscera Combat Technique, both Tianjing and Tianyu had already reached the mid-stage of the Innate Realm.

Moreover, they had attacked together, yet they still could not withstand a single exchange against this man. If either of them were to face him alone, wouldn't they be completely overpowered?

In what realm is this masked man?

Under the astonished and questioning gazes of the crowd, the masked man seemed to guess what they were thinking. With a confident expression, he spoke.

"That's right. I broke through a few days ago. Now, I’ve already stepped into the Grand Completion of the Innate Realm! I’m only a single step away from the Inner Gang Realm!”

As he finished speaking, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

It was clear that achieving the Grand Completion stage thrilled him greatly—so much so that he couldn’t help but announce it, even on such a solemn battlefield.

This was precisely why the clan leader had sent him here. A martial artist at the Grand Completion stage of the Innate Realm could rival three late-stage Innate Realm experts.

Upon hearing this, realization flashed in the eyes of Chen Tianjing and Chen Tianyu. No wonder this man is so strong—even after detonating their viscera, the two of us still couldn’t handle him.

A martial artist at the Grand Completion of the Innate Realm can begin to understand the Innate State. Moreover, clans like the Shi and Xie families had secret arts that enabled their Innate Realm warriors to reach this state earlier.

With a breakthrough in cultivation, such comprehension deepens.

Even if two more mid-stage Innate Realm experts joined in, they still likely wouldn’t be this man’s match!

At that moment, the two wore troubled expressions, unsure how to respond. Far from their clan, they could no longer rely on the Divine Tree's divine power for healing. If they exchanged a few more blows, their cultivation realms might begin to decline.

Not far away, a hint of surprise flashed in Liu Ziqi’s eyes. Who would have thought that the warrior sent by the Shi family was at such a level? No wonder the clan had failed to detect his movements.

A martial artist at the Grand Completion of the Innate Realm, empowered by the clan’s totemic strength—such a person would be more than enough to contend with the Chen family’s totem, totemless or not.

But soon after, Liu Ziqi’s brows furrowed tightly. If the Shi family warrior is this strong, will our family even be able to seize the Natural Blood Spring from him once the Chen Clan is dealt with?

After all, even Lord Qingshan would need time to absorb the newly revived Blood Spring.

At that moment, a different thought surfaced in Liu Ziqi’s mind, causing his strikes against the surrounding Chen Clan members to lose their earlier ferocity. His movements now seemed sluggish and lacked vigor.

"I'll handle this."

Just as Chen Tianjing and Chen Tianyu were at a loss as to what to do, a calm voice came from the side. It was Chen Qingyu.

After he withdrew from his previous engagement, his opponent, Liu Zhan, was also free. He had intended to assist the Shi family warrior or perhaps help other clansmen.

However, when he swept his gaze around and caught sight of Liu Ziqi signaling him repeatedly, a flicker of understanding crossed his eyes. He nodded slightly and silently vanished into the crowd.

His disappearance went unnoticed by the others—after all, everyone’s attention was fixed on the center of the battlefield.

When Liu Ziqi saw Liu Zhan slip away, a faint, meaningful smile appeared on his face.

The clan’s totem is not on him!
