The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 486 Breakthrough! Breakthrough!

Chapter 486 Breakthrough! Breakthrough!

Ling Feng had become accustomed to the vast skills of the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation. He immediately took out the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit from his storage spirit ring and smiled, saying, "Alright, Senior, I will now break through to fifty meridian gates!"

However, in the next moment, he seemed a bit worried. "Senior, this Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit is said to allow one to directly break through an entire realm. If I swallow it, could I accidentally ascend to the Transformation Realm?"

"It's possible," the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation said calmly.

"Then I'd better not eat it right now." Ling Feng hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "I should refine the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit into a medicinal pill with milder effects and slowly break through one meridian gate at a time."

"Hahaha, I've never seen such a strange boy like you. Isn't advancing to the Transformation Realm good?" the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation exclaimed in amazement.

"It's not that it's bad, but I can't." Ling Feng smiled bitterly. "With Senior's ability, you should have noticed that there is a sword embryo in my sea of mind."

"Oh?" The Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation sensed Ling Feng's spiritual consciousness and his eyes twitched. "Slaughterous Sword Will! Reincarnated sword embryo!"

This time, even the always calm Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation couldn't help but be surprised. "Young one, h... how did you manage to cultivate like this? Out of the best ten sword wills, you've comprehended two of the top three!"

"I was just lucky," Ling Feng said, briefly explaining the origins of the two sword wills. The Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation took a deep breath, still unable to calm down for a long time. "You comprehending the Slaughterous Sword Will from Chi Lie's broken sword is understandable, but you actually managed to pass the Hell Trial of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder!"

The Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation sighed. "Indeed, someone who can withstand the Heart Lock is no ordinary person! Hahaha!"

"Unfortunately, the inheritance of the Reincarnated Sword Will in the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder is only half complete. I still need to go to the demon race's sacred land to retrieve the other half. Otherwise, if I ascend to the Transformation Realm before that, the Reincarnated Sword Embryo within me will backfire on my soul, and I'll be doomed."

"Hmm, the Reincarnated Sword Will is powerful, but if not handled well, its backlash can indeed be terrifying," the Tianbai Emperor nodded slightly. "Unfortunately, I don't have the power to help you transform your sword embryo into a complete sword will. You'll have to rely on yourself."

Ling Feng shook his head with a bitter smile. He hadn't expected the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation to forcefully help him break through the sword embryo, so he wasn't disappointed.

In any case, the Demon-Transforming Pill had been refined, so the demon race's sacred land was now his goal!

"Although I can't help you break through the Reincarnated Sword Will, I can suppress your realm. You can safely swallow the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit. I have a way to keep your realm below the Transformation Realm. As for the remaining energy, I'll seal it in your Qihai, allowing you to refine it slowly later."

"Uh..." Ling Feng's eyes twitched. He quickly bowed to the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation. "Thank you, Senior!"

"It's a small matter, no need to thank me," the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation said as he waved his hand nonchalantly. "Alright, go ahead and swallow the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit. I'm curious to see how many meridian gates you can open in one go!"

"Okay!"

Ling Feng nodded heavily, feeling a mix of anticipation and excitement. How many meridian gates could this sky-tier medicine, capable of directly advancing realms, help me break through?

Holding the fist-sized Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit in his hand, Ling Feng saw the brilliant golden light surrounding it and smelled its rich fragrance. Just a whiff seemed to add days to his life.

Calming his mind, Ling Feng used his true qi to dissolve the energy barrier around the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit, squeezed out the pulp, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit turned into a cool liquid as it entered his stomach. Following the circulation of Ling Feng's sword essence, it spread throughout his body, transforming into countless energy particles that filled every part of him.

The Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit was a top-grade spirit object. Otherwise, it wouldn't have caused such a fierce struggle among the Spiritual Element Realm experts.

A mature Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit took at least three thousand years to ripen fully. Even a half-step emperor or a Spiritual Sea Realm human emperor wouldn't have such a long lifespan to wait for a Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit to mature.

Therefore, such an opportunity was incredibly rare, yet Ling Feng seized it. Such luck was truly extraordinary!

Besides the immense elemental force, the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit also offered comprehension of the Great Dao, greatly reducing the barriers to advancing realms. It was a peerless medicine for major realm breakthroughs. It even provided an over eighty percent success rate for Spiritual Element Realm experts trying to break through to the Spiritual Sea Realm!

Boom!

Mysterious inscriptions appeared in Ling Feng's mind. They depicted the evolution of the heavens and earth, mountains shifting, rivers drying up, volcanic eruptions, and meteors falling. These were the cycles of creation and destruction imprinted in the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit over its thousands of years of existence.

Ling Feng sat cross-legged and took in a deep breath. The true qi within him surged violently like tens of thousands of galloping dragons, rolling incessantly inside him. If his body hadn't been tempered to an abnormal degree, he might have exploded on the spot.

What terrifying medicinal strength!

The Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation had only heard of the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit but had never seen it, let alone consumed it. Standing at a higher level, he didn't consider the fruit particularly precious. However, he had underestimated its energy. Seeing Ling Feng's blood surge and his face turn red as if he were about to explode, he quickly placed his hand on Ling Feng's head to help him maintain his focus amidst the violent energy storm.

Is this terrifying energy really something I can absorb?

Ling Feng frowned as his blood and vitality roiled. His internal organs seemed to be burning, and his upper clothing had long since exploded into fluttering fragments under the violent energy waves, revealing his solid muscles and thick blood vessels.

In fact, even experts at the Spiritual Element Realm wouldn't dare swallow the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit directly. They would combine it with various precious herbs to neutralize its potency. Otherwise, even an ordinary Spiritual Element Realm cultivator wouldn’t be able to withstand such violent power.

Fortunately, although Ling Feng's realm wasn't high, his body's strength, due to cultivating the Eight Desolations Body Refinement Art, was almost comparable to that of a demonic beast. He was barely able to withstand the terrifying energy bursts with the help of the Tianbai Emperor.

"Meridian gates, open! Open! Open!!!"

Ling Feng roared, opening all forty-seven of his meridian gates to crazily devour the boundless energy unleashed by the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit. The energy was so thick that Ling Feng felt as if all his tendons had snapped after just a few absorptions.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wave after wave of violent energy exploded within Ling Feng’s body, causing his body to tremble as his realm rapidly ascended.

Forty-eighth meridian gate, open!

Forty-ninth meridian gate, open!

Fiftieth meridian gate, open!

In an instant, Ling Feng broke through the fiftieth meridian gate. The legendary heavenly barrier seemed non-existent and was unable to impede Ling Feng's breakthrough.

Then, he continued his rapid advance. Fifty-one, fifty-two, fifty-three...

Meridian gates opened madly, quickly surpassing sixty and seventy. At seventy-five, the terrifying speed slightly slowed, but still continued to advance.

Seventy-six!

Seventy-seven!

Seventy-eight!

...

Is he about to break through eighty meridian gates? The Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation's eyes sparkled with intense brilliance as he witnessed the birth of an extraordinary genius!

In all of history, all martial artists who broke through to the Transformation Realm with more than eighty meridian gates were exceptional talents. As long as they didn't fall prematurely, becoming a human emperor or even a great emperor was almost certain. Higher achievements would depend on personal fortune and temperament.

As the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation marveled, Ling Feng's body suddenly exploded with a burst of blood mist, and his aura soared. He had broken through to eighty meridian gates!
