Chapter 157

In the room.

Lu Li's expression was cold and stern.

Within his body, vast origin surged out and submerged into the Black Gourd.

He knew very well!

A Saint is transcendent and holy!

The origin of a Saint is already near the Dao, transcendent and refined; without equivalent power, it is very difficult to erase, and wanting to clear the Mo Jiao Sheng origin mark on that holy horn was simply impossible.

But, the Black Gourd forms a world of its own!

Within this world, it is an invincible existence; with its help to suppress, and by utilizing the thousand-fold fusion within his body, there was that sliver of possibility.

Boom—!

Lu Li's origin rolled forth.

The moment it entered the Black Gourd, it wrapped around the quietly floating Mo Jiao Sheng horn.

"Hum!"

The pitch-black horn suddenly trembled.

Specks of holy radiance radiated out!

A divine and holy power bloomed, breaking through Lu Li's enveloping origin.

"Hmph!"

Lu Li let out a cold snort.

With a wave of his hand, within the gourd space, waves of heaven-shaking origin surged and gathered around the Mo Jiao Sheng horn, immediately causing the holy radiance it emitted to gradually dim.

"Hum hum..."

The Mo Jiao Sheng horn trembled a few times and then became completely still.

Taking this opportunity!

Lu Li's origin moved, surging once again into the pitch-black giant horn.

In his mind!

The fused thousand-fold talent was pushed to the limit!

The vast origin divided into millions, as if penetrating every pore, seeping into it bit by bit.

That origin mark was, after all, not being controlled by the Saint!

Hidden within the pitch-black giant horn and suppressed tightly by the Black Gourd, it was difficult to resist Lu Li's ultimate control over his origin; after constantly finding weaknesses, it began to be cleared away, strand by strand.

……

In the blink of an eye.

Three days passed.

In the room, Lu Li slowly opened his eyes.

With a thought!

The pitch-black giant horn appeared in mid-air.

"Boom!"

Saintly might bloomed, shrouding the entire villa.

"This is..."

On the first floor of the villa.

Shen Yiya and Zhou Wuyan both opened their eyes in shock.

A few days ago, during the final battle chasing the fierce beasts, they and the remaining students had been brought back; this battle had a huge impact, and the entire Qian Cheng was filled with worry; those students all had families, so they naturally all returned home.

Only the two of them!

Remained in this villa.

But they never expected that after only a few short days of returning, Lu Li would bring them such a fright; they had already broken through to the Wuzong Realm, so they naturally understood what this pressure was about!

Saint Realm pressure!

It had appeared so abruptly!

Fortunately, the injuries they sustained in that battle had already recovered!

Otherwise, I fear they would have truly died of fright!

In the backyard!

The Five-Colored Sparrow, which had been hiding in the Wutong Holy Tree to cultivate, was the same.

The moment it sensed this pressure, it instantly woke up, flying out in terror from the Wutong Holy Tree, flapping its wings at top speed, turning into a streak of fire, and rushing out of the villa's backyard.

"Oh my, help, someone has broken through to the Saint Realm!"

In a flash!

It rushed into the sky!

It was only after a long time that it cautiously poked its head back to return.

……

In the room.

Lu Li waved his hand, and the pressure emitted by the Mo Jiao Sheng horn receded.

After these three days of refining, he had cleared away all the Saint origin marked within this pitch-black giant horn and injected his own origin mark; he could control it freely with just a thought.

However, this was a holy object after all!

Even if he could control it freely, he could not exert its full power.

"To truly exert its power, perhaps I must wait until I break through to the Saint Realm!"

Lu Li murmured softly.

A holy object requires Saint origin to be activated!

He had used the Black Gourd space to suppress it and then used his thousand-fold talent to clear the Saint mark, thereby embedding his own origin mark into it; he had already taken a shortcut, and he was still quite far from exerting its full power.

However...

"It is not without a way!"

The corners of Lu Li's mouth lifted slightly.

With a movement of his divine sense, a wisp of golden origin light flickered out.

This wisp of golden origin light was not the previous one!

The previous one had been lent to Qian Wang during the final battle a few days ago; after Qian Wang used it to break through the black-and-white boundary cast by the Heibai Longshe, I do not know if it was exhausted or for some other reason!

It was not returned to him.

Simply put, Lu Li refined another wisp.

In any case, with the Great Expansion Sword Art, he could refine it at any time, so he did not ask Qian Wang for it.

The golden light was brilliant!

Lighting up the entire room.

Lu Li could clearly sense that as long as he used this as a guide, he could completely activate the Mo Jiao Sheng horn.

It was just that he found it a bit strange!

He had fully comprehended the Great Expansion Sword Art, yet he could only ever refine one wisp of golden origin light; unless it was exhausted, a second wisp would never be born, and one wisp of golden origin light was too scarce, at most only able to activate the Mo Jiao Sheng horn for an instant.

But, an instant is enough!

In this world, how many people can block a strike from a holy object?

Lu Li reached out and beckoned.

He put away the Mo Jiao Sheng horn.

In this great battle, besides these harvests, his main gain lay in the breakthrough of his cultivation; whether it was the one hundred thousand fierce beast corpses or the Mo Jiao Sheng horn, they were all external forces.

All external forces have weaknesses to be found!

Only one's own strength is the most solid reliance!

His cultivation breaking through to the peak Martial Monarch!

Made him far happier than obtaining those external forces.

"With my cultivation breaking through to the peak Martial Monarch, I should properly consolidate it, but..."

Lu Li's expression was calm.

If it were an ordinary person, after such an explosive breakthrough, they would inevitably worry about an unstable foundation and need to polish and consolidate for a period of time before they could continue cultivating.

But, Lu Li was different!

He possessed a thousand-fold talent, and as early as a few days ago, he had already smoothed out all the flaws brought about by the overly fast cultivation speed!

Furthermore!

In that secret land, within the half-meter stele world!

Lu Li had already extended the Spirit Building Technique almost to the Saint Realm; he already knew all the cultivation experience regarding Martial Monarch and Martial King, and as long as he had enough accumulation, he could directly break through to the peak Martial King Realm.

Such a breakthrough speed was not too excessive!

The only pity was!

That the last Life Fruit was consumed in this great battle!

The Life Fruit is extremely precious!

It was born when the Life Tree absorbed a large amount of heaven and earth origin during its spatial leap.

There were only three in total!

Previously, two were consumed to save Zhao Xuanfeng and Deputy City Lord Yu Wuji.

I did not expect this third one to be consumed by him so quickly!

"That Shi Jin Shu Wang deserves to die!"

Lu Li let out a cold snort.

In the final battle of the human Left Route Army, the Shi Jin Shu Wang suddenly appeared, and he had to step forward; it was under such a strike that his physical body collapsed and his consciousness scattered.

Fortunately, at the critical moment!

The Black Gourd sucked him into the Jisheng Zhi Di, and he recovered with the help of the Life Fruit on the Life Tree!

Otherwise, I fear he would have been reduced to bones by now!

But it was precisely because of this that he was able to turn a misfortune into a blessing; after his broken physical cells entered the gourd space, they absorbed a large amount of Source Qi, which allowed him to break through to the peak Martial Monarch in one go.

If he had relied solely on his own cultivation, it would have taken quite some time!

Just as he was thinking this!

Suddenly, an unusual movement came from the villa.

"What is going on?"
