Chapter 845: Breaking Through Beyond One's Level

On the second day of the small gathering at the Bamboo Grove, Li Luo, sensing his condition was perfectly complete, hesitated no longer and decided to begin refining the "Zhu Xuan Huang Dragon Qi" directly.

In the cultivation room on the top floor of the pavilion where Li Luo resided.

He sat cross-legged on the central stone platform; before him, five jade bottles floated, each containing a flowing strand of golden Zhu Xuan Huang Dragon Qi.

Li Luo stared at the jade bottles, his expression turning slightly solemn; then, with a thought, his Xiang power oscillated, shattering all five bottles, causing the five strands of Zhu Xuan Huang Dragon Qi to swim out, attempting to flee.

But Li Luo had prepared beforehand; a wisp of Xiang power sprayed from his mouth, directly wrapping all five strands of Zhu Xuan Huang Dragon Qi and swallowing them into his mouth in one gulp.

Afterwards, he closed his eyes slightly and activated the Dragon Breath Demon-Refining Art.

In the next moment, he felt a massive, astonishing energy surge violently within his body; the sheer strength of that energy caused his meridians and flesh and blood to throb with hidden pain.

Li Luo did not panic; instead, he orderly guided this massive, pure energy circulating within his body, while simultaneously activating the full power of the Demon-Refining Art to begin high-speed refinement.

Under this refinement, Li Luo immediately saw strands of Earth Fiend Dark Light taking shape at an astonishing speed.

This condensation speed was far beyond ordinary cultivation.

Li Luo felt joy in his heart, then poured all the condensed Earth Fiend Dark Light into his Xiang Palaces.

In an instant, all three Xiang Palaces became lively; strands of Earth Fiend Dark Light poured in continuously, a myriad of currents flying together.

Li Luo watched the ever-increasing Earth Fiend Dark Light within the Xiang Palaces, and his heart gradually became satisfied.

This refinement continued for a full day.

When the morning glory of the second day tore through the clouds and poured down, Li Luo in the cultivation room slowly opened his eyes; brilliant golden light flowed within them, then gradually subsided.

A powerful energy fluctuation spread from his body like a tide; that surging sensation made Li Luo's heart surge with excitement.

Sensing within his body, he found all three Xiang Palaces were now radiating light, emitting a subtle feeling of swelling from within.

This was because the three Xiang Palaces had reached their capacity limit.

At this moment, these three Xiang Palaces contained a full thirty-five thousand strands of Earth Fiend Dark Light!

This was an astonishing achievement.

According to common sense, even a genius possessing a Ninth-Rank Xiang, at the peak of the Great Fiend Palace Realm, could likely not cultivate more than twenty thousand strands of Earth Fiend Dark Light.

But Li Luo, relying on the advantage of three Xiang Palaces, had forcibly produced thirty-five thousand.

Regarding this, Li Luo dared not claim to be unprecedented and unsurpassed, but in his understanding, surely no one was stronger than him?

"Finally filled."

Li Luo Heavily exhaled a breath, his voice full of relief; for this day, he had waited far too long.

The three Xiang Palaces were indeed his advantage, but they also brought him considerable pressure; after all, his situation was quite special, time was too important for him, yet filling the three Xiang Palaces required consuming an extremely long time.

Fortunately, there was the "Zhu Xuan Huang Dragon Qi".

At this moment, Li Luo felt that leaving Great Xia and coming to the Outer Shenzhou of Tian Yuan had been a relatively wise decision; at least, in a place like Great Xia, he would absolutely have been unable to obtain such a rare opportunity as the "Zhu Xuan Huang Dragon Qi".

However, fortunately, this moment had finally arrived.

Thirty-five thousand strands of Earth Fiend Dark Light danced like birds within the three Xiang Palaces, a magnificent sight; next, Li Luo would use these thirty-five thousand strands of Earth Fiend Dark Light to open a path for breaking through beyond his level.

Li Luo formed hand seals; in the next moment, the thirty-five thousand strands of Earth Fiend Dark Light surged out directly from the Xiang Palaces, as if transforming into three great torrents roaring forth.

The flesh, bones, and meridians within Li Luo's body seemed to vibrate at this moment; they seemed to be cheering, for these Earth Fiend Dark Light would be a rare feast for them.

In Xiang power cultivation, from the Xiang Master Realm to the Earth Fiend General Rank, this is the first opportunity for physical body tempering!

Strands of Earth Fiend Dark Light merged into the flesh and bones at this moment; as the Earth Fiend Dark Light surged through, the flesh became scorching hot, and the bones became boiling hot.

It seemed as if boundless vitality surged from between the flesh and bones like a tide.

On the surface of Li Luo's body, dirty blood began to seep out from his pores; his brows knitted tightly, and expressions of pain occasionally surfaced.

Tempering the physical body naturally accompanies the pain of refinement; however, Li Luo's will was firm, so he naturally would not be shaken by this; the thirty-five thousand strands of Earth Fiend Dark Light flowed continuously, and wherever they passed, the flesh was tempered again and again.

Time passed rapidly amidst this tempering.

Unknowingly, another day passed.

Li Luo immersed himself in body tempering; the dirty blood accumulated on his body had already congealed into blood clots, covering the skin in patches.

Until a certain moment.

A sound like thunder suddenly erupted from within Li Luo's body; the surrounding heaven and earth energy also became turbulent and boiling at this moment, then, as if attracted by some strong force, surged into Li Luo's body in a swarm.

The blood clots outside Li Luo's body were shattered completely, while silver light began to flow on his skin at this moment.

The flesh and blood pulsed slowly, emitting a sense of overwhelming power.

Breaking through to the Fiend Body Realm was smoother than Li Luo had imagined.

However, this was not too unexpected, because his foundation was truly too substantial; thirty-five thousand strands of Earth Fiend Dark Light were something other Great Fiend Palace Realm cultivators would never dare to imagine.

Attacking the Fiend Body Realm with such a foundation was almost a natural progression, with no obstacles whatsoever.

Silver light flowed through the physical body, indicating that Li Luo had now reached the Silver Fiend Body Realm.

But this was not his goal.

Because within his body, the massive torrent formed by the Earth Fiend Dark Light continued to circulate ceaselessly, constantly tempering the physical body.

Li Luo was continuously attacking the Gold Fiend Body.

Wisps of green smoke rose from above Li Luo's head; at this time, if one touched his body, they would find his body temperature extremely high, caused precisely by the tempering of the physical body.

Time continued to pass; soon, more than half a day had gone by.

At some point, the silver light flowing on the surface of his body suddenly became dense; between the silver light, fine golden threads appeared.

The golden threads flowed within the flesh and blood, simultaneously becoming increasingly bright.

At a certain moment, it seemed a hot breath was exhaled from Li Luo's lips.

Boom, boom!

A booming sound oscillated within the body.

Only to see strands of golden light suddenly gush out from Li Luo's flesh and blood, almost rendering his body into a brilliant golden form.

At this moment, the Gold Fiend Body was formed.

Li Luo finally opened his eyes, but he did not stop; instead, his hand swept across the space orb, and a purple jade box appeared.

From within the jade box, the Nine-Apertures Golden Stone slowly rose.

Li Luo kept his eyes closed, clasped his palms together, pinching the Nine-Apertures Golden Stone between them, and unleashed a vast force of physical might, crushing the Nine-Apertures Golden Stone into golden powder.

Then Li Luo opened his mouth and inhaled; the golden powder, flowing with mysterious power, was swallowed in one breath.

The Golden Wrath Body was complete; next, he would use this "Nine-Apertures Golden Stone" as a medium to attempt transforming into the third stage of the Wrath Body realm—the Glassy Wrath Body!

After so much accumulation, Li Luo was now poised to ascend to the heavens in a single step.
