Yi Chen clenched his fists, explosive strength surging within his body.

At this moment he felt that, if he were to face the Five-Element Demon again, he wouldn't even need to use Pure Yang Extreme Change to defeat it head-on.

The Strength-Breaking Realm had granted him two special effects, one being Penetration.

Yi Chen tested it, and unlike the inner strength or hidden power generated through technique in traditional martial arts, the Penetration effect after the Strength-Breaking Realm seemed to operate like a rule, reaching a realm beyond what skill alone could achieve.

To use an inappropriate analogy, this Penetration effect could be simplified to... shock and explosion.

Once strength consolidates as one, using past technology for analysis, it'd be like a spectrum of vibration frequencies at extremely high rates, able to transmit force through obstacles with high-frequency vibrations and erupt at its peak.

It's like the difference between a gun with and without rifling.

The gun is still the same gun, but with added rifling, the bullet's penetration effect dramatically increases; the Penetration effect after the Strength-Breaking Realm is that added rifling.

"It's practically the Corpse God's skill for shredding bodies."

Looking at the rosewood long table leg in front of him that had exploded into bits, Yi Chen's pupils suddenly constricted.

He had controlled the strength, imprinting the long table with the same force he had used to break the table leg before, and the result was that the table instantly burst into bits. It might even affect the floor below...

Such a terrifying shock and penetration characteristic greatly enhanced the lethality of his strength.

The other special effect after the first Strength-Breaking Realm was easier to understand - Power.

An additional 20% to the strength attribute means that his current base strength of 50 could exhibit the benefits of 60 points, profiting an extra 10 points out of thin air, the more he added, the more he gained...

"Such a delightful change."

Yi Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Just once into the Strength-Breaking Realm and already so impressive, what would happen when his base strength reached 100 and he broke through again?

And what if it was three times, four times, five times?

Wouldn't it mean that a mere bump would be deadly, and a collision would cause an explosion?

Coupled with the ferocious and violent Pure Yang Inner Qi, it would be perfect.

As Yi Chen was lost in his wild dreams about the future, a series of urgent knocks at the door abruptly interrupted him, coupled with a burst of cursing.

"Upstairs, in the middle of the night, you don't sleep; do you think I, Master Yu, live off air..."

The door creaked open.

Lanterns provided illumination in the hallway.

A huge shadow enveloped the person outside the door.

It was a young nobleman in brocade, followed by two brawny guards with bulging temples, suggesting considerable martial prowess.

"Is there something amiss?"

Yi Chen inquired with a deep voice as he opened the door.

"You scoundrel, you've disturbed my master..."

One of the guards behind the noble started to scold aggressively, but before he could finish, the young noble kicked him, sending him flying and tumbling.

"My lord, it's all right now."

"These guards of mine had a few too many drinks, now they're acting crazy. Please don't stoop to their level."

"We're leaving, right away."

The self-proclaimed Master Yu at this point had a face full of smiles, bowing and scraping obsequiously.

```

At his neck, a fire-red squirrel was buried under his inner garments, shivering incessantly.

However, a cold and indifferent voice came through, causing the Young Master Yu to stand frozen, as if struck by lightning.

"Did I say you could leave?"

At that moment, Young Master Yu felt like crying. He had been exploring the mysteries of the human body with a girl downstairs and was just about to score when suddenly a loud thud from above startled him, making him lose his mojo instantly.

So, he stormed up to seek an explanation in anger, only to find that the one who had opened the door was such a formidable person.

He had thought that his guards, A-Da and A-Er, were strong and mighty, having fully mastered the hard techniques of physical training, but he had not expected someone to be even more fierce than A-Da and A-Er, a person whose origins were unknown.

Compared to this fierce individual, his guards were like mere bean sprouts.

Even the Flame Mouse he had been raising for a long time was so frightened that it was trembling non-stop, showing just how formidable this person was.

According to what the Flame Mouse had communicated to him from the family, this person had at least a hundred and eighty lives on his hands and still had an aura of lingering malice about him. It was almost certain he was a strong practitioner who had recently killed a powerful evil spirit.

"Great... sir, is there anything else... you need?"

Young Master Yu managed to squeeze out a smile, but it looked worse than crying.

"Sorry, I accidentally disturbed your rest. You can go now,"

Yi Chen said with an expressionless face.

Seeing that the man was so sensible, he didn't feel like lashing out; after all, fair is fair.

He had also figured out the truth based on the bits and pieces from the conversations of this person and his guards. Most likely, his testing of the Strength-Breaking Realm's penetration effect must have shaken the building below, and the guy had come to seek retribution.

"Ah... what?"

"No need to apologize, no need to apologize."

"Sir has done nothing wrong. It's all my fault."

Upon hearing this, Young Master Yu put on a face-changing performance from extreme grief to great relief, as seen in Sichuan opera, and dragged his guards to run like the wind to the corner of the hallway; then came the sound of slaps.

"A-Da you son of a bitch, we almost died because of you this time. I haven't even spoken, so why were you barking?"

"We were lucky this time."

The guard called A-Da complained while covering his face, "Young Master, I was just taking up for you. Even if that guy is a cultivator, is our Li family from Qingping Prefecture afraid of him?"

"Our Family Head is also a high-level practitioner of the Qi Refinement Realm, and your elder brother is even a cultivation genius..."

Slap! Slap!

Two more heavy slaps were plastered onto A-Da's face.

"Dare to talk back?"

"You son of a bitch, do you think I want to make an enemy out of a such a strong person over such a trivial matter?"

"You turn a small issue into an unsolvable problem, and drag the family into it. The family has spent hundreds of years accumulating the strength we have today. Today you clash with this one; tomorrow, you clash with another—are you a mole sent by the enemy of the Li family?"

The more Young Master Yu thought about it, the angrier he got, and he slapped A-Da's face a few more times.

Son of a bitch with a dog's brain, my father may be a high-level practitioner who has reached the Divine Power Realm, but that's like distant water that can't put out a nearby fire. And you actually want me to challenge such a person?

If it weren't for the fact that you've been with me for so many years and have been quite loyal, I would really want to chop you, you damn fool.

Chapter Stay:

It's not a core interest issue; you just know how to bump into people all the time, like a fool!

You're a fool fit to be buried in an ancient tomb!

The commotion in the hallway obviously couldn't escape the sharp senses of Yi Chen, who was now listening around the corner and couldn't help but laugh.

"So, he's quite astute."

"It turns out fairy tales are all lies; there are not so many fools among heirs who come looking for trouble and get face-slapped."

"Only third-rate novels would dare write such nonsense."

By now, night had fallen, and Yi Chen walked out to the terrace. He took another look at the moon above and wondered if it was psychological suggestion, but he consistently felt that the moon seemed different from before, although he couldn't quite put a finger on what was off.

"Sigh, I wonder what impact those falling blood-colored meteorites will have on this world."

Unable to figure it out, Yi Chen stopped thinking about it.

After his trial in the Strength-Breaking Realm, he was quite drained, so he threw himself onto the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, he was roused by another round of hurried knocking.

It was the voice of Lin Baihu.

"Taoist priest, please open the door; something terrible has happened."
