Chapter 152 - Break Through Continuously

Chapter 152: Break Through Continuously

The crowd was dubious, even though they saw him swallowed the pill himself. But, they were still tempted by the strong medicinal strength emanating from the drug. So, they turned and ran back into the depths of the cavern.

Soon after taking the pill, Yunxiao felt a great power spread out in him and flow into all his meridians and bones. In the beginning, it was very gentle, washing through his flesh like Primordial Qi, but then it grew faster and stronger. In the end, he felt like thousands of sharp blades were swimming and cutting inside him, making him bare his teeth, clench his fists, and tremble in pain.

Meanwhile, Darkthunder also began to roar and roll on the ground in pain. Yian watched from the side and broke out in a cold sweat. Fearing something bad would happen, he guarded beside Yunxiao gingerly.

Suddenly, a painful roar rang out from the inner part of the cavern. Judging from the voice, it was Li Changfeng. “Boy! What kind of drug did you give me? It’s so painful! Are you trying to kill your father? Damnit!” Soon, the others also began to scream and shout painfully.

Yunxiao was the only one who was relatively calm. Although he was trembling in pain, and blood had begun to seep out of his five orifices, he still clenched his jaws and did not make a sound. The sight of it made Yian drenched in a cold sweat.

Bam!

A muffled sound rang out of Yunxiao’s body. He broke through again, even though he had just become a six-stars Martial Master some while ago. And after he broke through to the seven-stars, his aura continued to climb, as if he still had room to grow.

Yian was so worried as he watched from the side. He saw Yunxiao’s body turn glass-like, and under that almost transparent skin, blood began to gather inside every pore as if it were about to overflow.

The effects of a Nine Orifices pill were to destroy first and then rebuild. It would seriously damage one’s nine orifices and trigger the maximum potential of the human body. Its medicinal strength was so strong that if anyone below the realm of Martial Lords took it, he would be killed instantly when the drug destroyed his body. Yunxiao’s physical strength was already not weaker than that of an ordinary Martial Lord, and his endurance was even stronger than most of the Martial Lords.

Bam!

As another muffled sound rang out as he broke through again. He was now an eight-stars Martial Master.

Yian’s eyes grew wide in shock and disbelief. It had taken him over a year to become an eight-stars Martial Master from a six-stars Martial Master. That was considered very fast already, and he had even felt complacent for some time. But as he looked back now, he found that his achievement was nothing.

“His strength is still increasing…Heavens! Is he going for the nine-stars?!” Yian felt his heart jump up to his throat. He kept sensing Yunxiao’s Primordial Qi waves, and finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief. “Ah! He finally stopped! What a freak!”

Just when he sighed, however, he saw Yunxiao opened his eyes slightly, took out another Nine Orifices pill, and put it into his mouth before swallowing it. Then, he began to meditate again.

“He’s killing himself!”

Yian’s eyes grew so wide that they looked like a pair of copper bells. After taking the second pill, the blood gathered beneath Yunxiao’s skin finally overflowed from all over his clean, smooth body. Soon, he was fully covered in blood, and the five orifices on his face were filled with blood as well.

Meanwhile, his Primordial Qi wave, which had stopped growing, began to slowly climb again.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Suddenly, two figures dashed over. Looking horrible with all the blood that covered their bodies, Li Changfeng and Luo Yunshang exchanged a shocked and pleasantly surprised look that was mixed with a hint of disbelief. Both of them had broken through as well.

Yian was shocked as he stared at both of them. ‘They broke through so quickly!’

Subconsciously, he touched the pill that was given to him, and he had an urge to take it immediately. It had taken him years of hard work and accumulation to make the breakthrough and become a one-star Martial Lord, and yet these people had advanced another star with just a pill and about ten minutes.

Meanwhile, Darkthunder, who had curled up into a ball on the ground, had stopped wailing, and was lying on its stomach with its head drooped like a cat who had fallen into water. But judging from its aura, it was much stronger than before.

Bam!

Just as Yian could hardly calm himself down, the sound of breakthrough rang out of Yunxiao’s body once again.

“A nine-stars Martial Master!” Yian felt a buzz in his head, and he almost lost consciousness. In front of him, a Martial Master who had just broken through to the six-stars realm had broken through three levels again in a very short time, becoming a nine-stars Martial Master. Moroever, his aura was still growing stronger!

This…

Not only him, even Li Changfeng and Luo Yunshang were struck dumb. This had completely overturned their common sense. Although the drug was powerful, its effects should be limited. Could he still be considered a human being if he continued to break through like this without end? And, what would those geniuses, who had to meditate in seclusion for a few years to break through one to two stars, think about this?

Puke!

Yunxiao was clearly feeling overwhelmed, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood, which contained a significant amount of undigested medicinal strength. He had been extremely careful when he took the second pill; he wrapped the pill with Primordial Qi and slowly digested it, and when he found he could no longer take it, he spat it out with his blood.

‘I can’t take it anymore…If I continue to digest it, I’ll soon die with my body blown apart!’ Yunxiao smiled bitterly and opened his eyes. Apart from Xiao Qingwang, everyone had gathered around him once again, all covered in blood and looking extremely terrible while staring at him with bright eyes like a pack of hungry wolves staring at a sheep.

“What? Why are you all looking at me like that?”

“Boy, what took you so long to give us such a good thing? You must be itchy to get a good beating, eh?”

Paying no mind that Yunxiao was seriously injured, Li Changfeng rushed up and grabbed his collar as he bellowed, “How many more do you have? Give them all to me!”

Chen Dasheng shouted from behind, “Everyone who sees has a share! We are all working for you, so you can’t just give your father special treatment! Give ten pills to each of us!”

“Ten pills…Well, that’s fine with me.” Hong Bing raised both hands in agreement.

At this moment, only Li Chunyang and Yian had not yet taken the pills. But when they saw that everyone else had broken through and looked excited, they were eager to try. Even Darkthunder got up and wagged its tail, as if saying ‘I want more too.’

Yunxiao said with a wry smile, “The effects of this drug reduce significantly after the first one, but the pain doubles. Even a Martial King will not be able to take more than three. And after you take the second pill, it is no longer effective for you. Moreover, relying on medicinal pills to improve strength is not the right way, and it will be useless if your understanding of martial essence cannot keep up.”

“Exactly!” Li Chunyang said with a solemn look. “Self-cultivation is always the key. If we take too many pills and get ourselves killed, all our hard effort will be in vain. But, since I am a Martial King, I should be able to take one more…”

“…”

Yunxiao had no choice but to give his grandfather one more pill, and at the same time, he threw another one to Darkthunder. Now, he was left with only two Nine Orifices pills. Only then did the crowd leave him, eager to stabilize their newly gained power.

When Yian saw Yunxiao change into fresh clothes and about to leave, he cried out in shock, “Don’t you want to stabilize your cultivation base, Young Master Yun?” After all, Yunxiao had broken through three stars in a row, which was unheard of. Even though his aura seemed stable right now, Yian reckoned it would be extremely difficult for him to stabilize his cultivation base.

“No need,” said Yunxiao with a smile. He was once an existence who stood at the pinnacle if the Nine Heavens realm, and his understanding of the martial arts had almost merged with the Laws of the World. The realm of a mere nine-stars Martial Master was nothing to him. “Remember, you can only take the pill after you have stabilized yourself as a one-star Martial Lord. Otherwise, it will be extremely dangerous.”

When he had finished, he vanished from the cavern, leaving behind Yian, who wore a blank face, and Darkthunder, who was rolling painfully on the ground. After calming down slightly, Yian sat cross-legged down and began to stabilize his cultivation base.

Within a blink, Yunxiao appeared in Mount Inch, and his sudden arrival frightened Jia Rong. As soon as he saw Yunxiao’s face, the latter burst into tears and leaped over. “You can’t play favorites, Young Master Yun! I’ve worked so hard for you out there, and these guys had only refined some mystic weapons for you in here. And yet, all of them have broken through! Those who were behind me are now laughing ahead of me!”

His face was covered in tears and snot, and he was about to wipe them off Yunxiao’s clothes.

Bam!

Yunxiao threw out a punch and knocked his head back, leaving a bruise on his face while blood began to trickle down from his nostrils.

“Don’t pretend to be pitiful in front of me. How’s the construction of all three arrays?”

Grimaced, Jia Rong covered his cheek with a hand and said, “All completed! But, Primordial Stones have run out as well. I had to ask Meng Wu for twenty thousand more superior-grade Primordial Stones to finish the construction. Young Master Yun, I heard you’ve demonstrated a refining method called Illusive Waves Technique…”

Before he could finish, however, Yunxiao suddenly became transparent, then twisted, and finally disappeared from his sight.

“Young Master Yun, you can’t play favorites!” Jia Rong screamed into the empty air.

Yunxiao left the Divine Realm Tablet and came directly to the courtyard in the City Lord Mansion. Standing there, he performed a few incantation gestures, and he immediately sensed two strange forces enveloping the sky over Yanwu. As his incantation gestures changed, an extremely subtle connection was established between the two arrays and himself.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief with a happy look on his face. Although they were extremely simplified arrays, they were more than enough to double the city’s defense and offense.

After that, he came to the front door of the City Lord Mansion. The number of people signing up was getting much lesser. Almost all warriors who were willing to join Yanwu had signed up. After receiving a large number of resources, they were currently hiding in some places within the city and cultivating as hard as they could.

At the sight of Yunxiao, Meng Wu hurried over and greeted him while the nearby warriors all studied this magical City Lord.
