Chapter 48: Successive Breakthroughs

In the courtyard.

Lu Li pondered for a moment.

He had fused with a thousand-fold talent, and his cultivation speed far exceeded that of ordinary people.

A sacred object for auxiliary cultivation like the Firmament Parasol Tree had very limited use for him, but for Ouyang Xue, Zhang Chi, and the others, it was different; if they could cultivate here, they would surely achieve twice the result with half the effort and grow at a much faster speed.

"Calculating based on the range of Heaven and Earth energy currently gathered by the Firmament Parasol Tree, it can probably satisfy five people cultivating at the same time."

A one-zhang-tall Firmament Parasol Tree!

The Heaven and Earth energy it could draw upon was limited.

Five people cultivating together had already reached its limit of endurance.

However, the Firmament Parasol Tree was a sacred object of Heaven and Earth and possessed immense room for growth; as it continued to grow, it would sooner or later satisfy twenty people cultivating simultaneously, and in the end, it might even grow into a tree that reaches the heavens, turning a realm into a sacred land and helping countless people comprehend the Dao!

But, these were all in the distant future!

Lu Li did not overthink it.

He put this matter aside.

Since it could only satisfy five people cultivating at once, he would have to arrange it properly.

He had only just returned to the villa and had many things to deal with; as for helping those students with their cultivation, it could only be postponed for a few days.

Lu Li returned to his room.

With a flip of his hand, he took out those three Crimson Vermilion Fruits.

In an instant, a scorching power filled the entire room.

On this trip to the Wujin Huangye, whether it was Little Fire, the Black Gourd, or that Firmament Parasol Tree and the Five-Colored Sparrow, they were all unexpected gains; only these Crimson Vermilion Fruits were his fundamental goal.

The Crimson Vermilion Fruit was born from the gestation of Heaven and Earth and possessed the miraculous effect of helping people complete their life evolution.

For a Martial Spirit expert to consume!

There was even a sliver of a chance to break through to the Martial Monarch realm!

But, Lu Li would not use these Crimson Vermilion Fruits to strive for that sliver of a chance.

That chance was too slim!

What he had to do!

Was to use the Crimson Vermilion Fruits to activate those final three source cells!

To make the Martial Spirit realm perfect!

Lu Li sat cross-legged, his expression calm, and opened his mouth to swallow the first Crimson Vermilion Fruit.

"Boom!"

Inside his body.

A fiery power of origin surged forth immediately.

Lu Li immediately pushed his thousand-fold talent to the limit, guiding that power of origin to rush toward his spleen.

A moment later, a point of origin spiritual light lit up deep within the spleen.

After activating the source cells of the heart and liver!

Lu Li was already extremely proficient!

Under his guidance, that point of spiritual light diffused from within his body, gradually enveloping his entire being, and an inexplicable power was drawn out, causing a pressure of origin from Heaven and Earth to descend.

That pressure condensed and did not dissipate, continuously gathering around the villa.

As if it would never end.

Continuing without dissipating!

In the blink of an eye.

Three days passed.

The commotion here finally alarmed the entire Ring Mist Villa!

Around the villa!

Grandmasters kept arriving.

Sensing that continuous pressure, they all wore grave expressions.

Grandmasters release their Qi and blood externally, and when breaking through, they also draw upon the pressure of Heaven and Earth, but they had never seen one like this before, where the pressure carried the origin of life itself.

This only appeared when a legendary Spirit Venerable broke through!

But this was a residential area for Martial Sects!

How could a Spirit Venerable have arrived?

Almost at the same time, everyone remembered the time over a month ago.

It was also in this same villa!

The same pressure had descended!

At the time, they hadn't taken it to heart, but now that they thought about it, had the owner of this villa already been breaking through to Martial Spirit back then?

But only a month had passed since then!

Could it be that he had another breakthrough?

Can one have such a fast cultivation speed even at the Martial Spirit realm?

Then why were they still unable to break through to Martial Sect?

Just as everyone fell into self-doubt, an even more massive pressure descended; that pressure was like a monstrous wave, one layer stronger than the next, and it was actually three layers stacking down!

Rumble!

Heaven and Earth shook.

That terrifying power almost completely tore open the world surrounding this villa!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Even though they were experienced and knowledgeable, they had never seen such a sight.

Not daring to linger, they turned and left one after another.

Such a powerhouse!

It was better for them to keep their distance!

……

At this moment.

Inside the villa.

Lu Li slowly opened his eyes, letting that pressure descend upon him.

He pushed his Thousand-Fold Talent to the limit, using his own Source Power as a guide to continuously draw in the surrounding pressure to temper and baptize himself.

Just like that.

That terrifying pressure gradually dissipated.

Within Lu Li's body, the five vital lights of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys lit up; after spending three days and consuming three Red Vermilion Fruits in succession, he finally activated the last three source cells hidden in his spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

The five life evolutions of the first stage were completely finished!

Martial Spirit realm, already perfected!

A sharp glint shot from Lu Li's eyes, and a terrifying power swept out from his body in all directions.

"Run, run..."

In the courtyard.

The Five-Colored Sparrow, which had been cultivating in the Sacred Firmiana Tree, woke up with a start and was just about to flap its wings and flee, but after sensing Lu Li's aura, it sullenly returned to its nest.

This human was making a truly terrifying commotion!

In the room.

Lu Li sensed his state carefully, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.

Power!

It seemed to have increased by more than ten times!

"With my current cultivation, there should be few rivals in the entire Qian City, right?"

Within Qian City!

A Martial Ancestor is already considered a core force!

Anyone who breaks through to the Martial Spirit realm can manage a territory and enter the ranks of the upper echelon.

And he was already at the perfection of the Martial Spirit realm!

In all of Qian City, apart from the City Lord and Deputy City Lord at the Martial King realm, only a few Martial Monarch powerhouses could surpass him.

With his ultimate control over power, he could even fight an ordinary Martial Monarch!

"Next, it is time to deduce the Diamond Finger!"

Lu Li did not stop.

With his current power, he could naturally run rampant in Qian City.

But, this was far from enough!

To withstand the next assault of the fierce beast army, he had to exhaust every means to increase his combat power.

The Red Vermilion Fruits were already exhausted!

His cultivation had also reached the perfection of the Martial Spirit realm!

To continue advancing, he would have to wait until he deduced the next stage of the path of life evolution; even with the help of the Thousand-Fold Talent, this process would not be short!

The only way to continue increasing his combat power now!

Was only the Diamond Finger!

After the trip to the Wujin Huangye and experiencing successive great battles, his insight into the Diamond Finger had increased quite a bit; once he could digest it, his combat power might increase by another thirty percent.

"Begin!"

On Lu Li's body, eight meridians flashed into existence.

Around him, hundreds of star points condensed; those star points danced continuously in the air, sometimes gathering and sometimes scattering, emitting a terrifying aura of slaughter.

Lu Li was immersed in it.

Letting those star points change, he contemplated them intently!

Finally, late in the night of the second day.

Everything returned to calm.

Lu Li stood up abruptly and pointed his finger; a speck of golden light flashed out, that golden light blooming with an ultimate aura of nirvanic slaughter, condensing in the void and causing the entire space to become distorted.

"A hundred points into one; I can finally control it as I please."
