Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 690: Skysoar (3)

Chapter 690: Skysoar (3)

A loud rumble erupted from within his body. All 360 of his acupoints erupted with intense golden light. Right at that moment, the sky changed yet again.

One cloud after another appeared in the sky. These clouds were much larger than the fake cloud that had appeared earlier. The clouds spread in the sky, covering a distance of ten meters, twenty meters...before eventually reaching a hundred meters.

The eyes of the Great Ming Sunmoons widened in shock.

Holy shit!

A true phenomenon had appeared! This time, it wasn't a heavenly punishment. It was an actual heavenly blessing.

Finally, the clouds in the sky transformed into the following words: Grand cycle body forging. The Human Emperor sends his blessings.

Those words shocked even more people. A large amount of heavenly source qi churned in the sky. But nobody paid the heavenly source qi any attention.

"This...isn't real...laws...ancient laws..." Outside the city, a Sunmoon exclaimed, "The appearance of the ancient laws! This is a blessing from the ancient Human Emperor! Grand cycle of body forging! Body forging with 360 acupoints!"

"How did Su Yu open 360 acupoints?"

"All along, only a breakthrough into the Invincible will invite the blessing of the ancient Emperor. Why is this happening to a Skysoar?"

The experts were all in disbelief. A grand cycle body forging could actually trigger the laws and produce a blessing from the ancient Human Emperor. What did that mean?

"Phenomenon, heavenly blessing...so this had happened in the ancient times. And it must have happened more than once. These laws wouldn't have appeared otherwise. Could it be that all the ancient geniuses would only forge their bodies with 360 acupoints?"

"Su Yu...Su Yu knows the way to open 360 acupoints!"

Zhu Tiandao was completely dumbstruck. He quickly recovered and roared, "Bullshit! This is fake! There is no such thing! We created the fake phenomenon!!"

Fuck!

Who would believe those words?

Fake?

Who in the world could create a fake phenomenon of such a level? At this moment, the words in the sky turned into heavenly source qi and engulfed Su Yu. Gold covered the sky. All the hidden experts felt their mouths went dry.

Grand cycle body forging. It had actually triggered something like this! The ancient laws had actually been triggered!

Su Yu was quite surprised as well. So an ancient Human Emperor existed back before the ancient apocalypse? Where was the Human Emperor? Dead? If that was the case, how?

But the laws were still present. In that case, was the Human Emperor dead? Or perhaps the laws had merely persisted alongside the Human Realm? He had no answer to that. This was too far beyond his level. He only knew that he had completed his body forging.

The newly appeared heavenly source qi was extremely dense. As the heavenly source qi entered his body, Su Yu could feel himself growing stronger and stronger.

The first forging was complete, but this was not the end. Su Yu could no longer suppress his willpower as golden light erupted from his body with a loud rumble. His willpower started materializing.

"His willpower cultivation is breaking through as well!"

The onlookers were stunned. Su Yu was actually pushing both paths into the next realm today. As the breakthrough proceeded, one character after another materialized in the air.

Blood, lightning, break, kill, tribulation...

The newly formed characters appeared one after another as well. Among these characters, two of them were fire characters.

These characters only appeared for a short moment before vanishing. Then, a large amount of willpower appeared in the sky. The same thing happened in his sea of willpower, strengthening all his characters.

The blood character instantly entered the third tier.

The lightning character was the next to advance.

As Su Yu's willpower transformed, his apertures enlarged. Even more golden clouds appeared in the sky. This was a smaller batch, but instead of heavenly source qi, these clouds were formed of pure willpower.

And all the clouds gathered around Su Yu. This time, there was no congratulatory message. What did this signify? Initially, the heavenly punishment had appeared due to his cultivation method.

Meanwhile, his advancement with 180 apertures did not produce a congratulatory message. Only a simple heavenly phenomenon had been produced. But this was a phenomenon that would appear when one entered the Mountainsea Realm as well. In short, advancing with 180 apertures was not a feat worthy of the ancient blessing.

There was a possibility that one could open more than 180 apertures. Su Yu might have felt like the second phenomenon was inferior, but Zhu Tiandao and the others were completely stunned.

Zhu Tiandao's expression changed repeatedly as he loudly said, "We supplied this willpower for his breakthrough. This is definitely not a phenomenon!"

Everyone ignored him. At this point, only an absolute fool would believe him.

Su Yu had broken through in both cultivation paths and produced two heavenly phenomena in a row. No, there was a heavenly punishment before that. And even earlier, there was a golden cloud. Just what was going on? Did the heavens believe that Su Yu was not rewarded enough, so he was given more?

Su Yu was too busy to care about what the others were thinking.

As his characters advanced one after another, his sea of willpower churned and expanded. But not even that was able to hold his attention. He was instead focused on his body. This was the perfect opportunity for him to further forge his body. He had yet to fully digest the heavenly source qi he had absorbed earlier.

Thus, he resumed the body forging process. The moment right after one reached the Skysoar Realm through willpower cultivation was an excellent opportunity for one to strengthen one's body.

Su Yu did not let go of that chance. His body continued its transformation as the golden light around him intensified. All the willpower clouds entered his sea of willpower. As for the initial heavenly punishment, he had defeated it and nourished himself with its energy.

A few of his characters advanced into the third tier while his second-tier characters continued growing. As for the newly formed first-tier characters, all of them had instantly advanced into the second tier.

At the same time, Su Yu was absorbing heavenly source qi like it was free. After about half an hour, a rumble erupted. He had completed his second forging.

Borrowing the opportunity provided by his advancement, he had completed the second forging much faster than before. At this point, his sea of willpower was starting to reach saturation.

He proceeded to strike his sea of willpower with his hammer, compressing his willpower and strengthening his characters. He did not stop forging his body. He had plenty of heavenly source qi to spare.

He was going to squeeze this opportunity provided by his advancement dry. During the moment of advancement, some bottlenecks would disappear. This was what he was taking advantage of. At any other time, it would probably take him around ten days to half a month to complete a forging.

"The second forging is complete!"

"This fellow...has opened 360 acupoints, forged his body twice, and advanced his willpower..."

Even the experts couldn't help but be shocked. They reckoned that his physical body was probably more than 4,000 acupoints in strength. They weren't sure if Su Yu had fused 40 acupoints per stage, but he was the one who had created the fusion art. There was a possibility of that being the case.

They were also unsure if his 360 acupoints had formed their own cycle. Theoretically, he should already possess the strength of over 2,000 acupoints. A regular genius warrior would only cultivate something with 108 acupoints and advance with 12 fused acupoints per stage. At the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm, such a warrior would have the strength of 240 acupoints. Coupled with their martial techniques, they would be able to muster the strength of roughly 300 acupoints.

Such a genius would generally proceed with 18 body forgings. Very few of them would choose 27 forgings. After 18 forgings, they would be able to muster the strength of 1,500 acupoints. With 27 forgings, they could approach 4,000 acupoints.

Meanwhile, Su Yu had only forged his body twice thus far. If his advancement was a complete one, he would definitely have the strength to defeat a regular ninth-stage Skysoar. Not even a genius with 18 forgings would be his match. And this was without considering his strength as a cultural researcher..

Some of the experts started looking at Administrator Hu with odd gazes. This was supposed to be a genius of Great Xia. But now, he had joined Great Ming. Not only was he a creator of numerous cultivation methods, but he had also broken through in such a shocking manner. This kid could totally be treated as a weak Cloudbreach after his breakthrough.

For Su Yu, punching above his class was nothing. But he was not satisfied with his progress. He continued his body forging. He aimed to complete the third forging. Since the phenomenon had yet to end, he could continue as the advancement had not officially ended yet.

He did not lack heavenly source qi. Nor did he lack willpower. He wasn't even afraid of willpower saturation with his hammer around.

After materialization, Su Yu's willpower was around high-stage second-tier willpower. To be precise, it was slowly approaching the peak of the second tier where the willpower would undergo transformation into the third tier. After the transformation, he would become a Cloudbreach so long as he had a third-tier character and enough opened apertures.

Naturally, none of that mattered to him right now. At the moment, all 17 of his characters were assembling into a saber before pulling willpower in to solidify the saber, turning it into a true character technique.

Meanwhile, his entire body was still covered in a layer of golden radiance. After a long while, the phenomenon finally ended. At the very last moment, his body rumbled yet again.

Boom!

His blood was flowing so intensely that sounds of raging river could be heard from his body.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

His heart thumped in a powerful cadence. Tiny traces of black smoke rose from his body before vanishing. The third forging was complete. The golden body slowly turned back into its regular color.

And finally, Su Yu had returned to how it was. Yet he also seemed entirely different now.

He stood there and gazed upon the world again. Everything seemed particularly clear to him. His willpower could be freely controlled, and he could perceive everything within the range of his willpower clearly.

He tried walking a few steps. All he felt was power. But he was still able to fully control his body. He clenched his fists, sensing the power running within his body.

He had only completed three forgings, but he felt much stronger than before. He suspected that he had reached the strength of 2,400 acupoints.

After his breakthrough, he had around 30 heavenly source fruits worth of heavenly source qi left. But he had also utilized a large amount of heavenly source qi supplied by the phenomenon. Thus, his total expenditure was actually higher than expected: around 50 heavenly source fruits worth of heavenly source qi.

He wasn't too surprised. His body was already very powerful before this. He wouldn't have achieved the strength of over 2,000 acupoints otherwise. He was much stronger than any other Skysoar with three forgings. He had the confidence to defeat even a divine or a devil who had completed three forgings with a single punch.

He stepped out of the ring, revealing himself on the stage yet again. All around him, people were looking at him like he was a monster. This was merely a Skysoar breakthrough. Why did it feel like an Invincible breakthrough? He had created such a big ruckus.

Zhu Tiandao and the others exhaled in relief. Finally, it was over. They were worried that something bad would happen if the kid continued dragging this out. But they were also quite speechless to see that he had only completed three forgings after exhausting so much resources.

This fellow sure was expensive to raise.

Su Yu said nothing. His surroundings were completely silent as well. It was as though everyone was waiting for his words.
