Chapter 678

After Ao Jue entered the secret chamber, he began the cultivation of the second stage of the Prison Nightmare Heart-Locking Art.

When he began to visualize the Purgatory Heart-Forging, Ao Jue would often be unable to accept it due to the pain coming from his soul.

Sometimes, he would even feel his mental power constantly dissipating.

But with the progress of the Prison Nightmare Heart-Locking Art and the improvement of his own cultivation.

The flame of revenge in his heart once again gave Ao Jue the motivation to move forward.

In just a few days, Ao Jue stepped from the Grandmaster Realm into the peak perfected state of the Great Grandmaster Realm.

He was only one step away from the Land Immortal*Mortal Realm.

However, because of the strengthening of the power within his body and the toughness of his own flesh, combined with the long-term loneliness of being in seclusion alone.

Ao Jue had now fallen into the vortex of obsession with power.

And with Ao Jue's obsession with power in his heart.

The Jue Sword, which had been sealed by Can Ji, actually emitted strands of strange scarlet light.

Ao Jue was now completely numb to the stimulation of the Prison Nightmare Heart-Locking Art on his mind.

And he was also able to constantly exercise his physical strength according to the body-forging methods of the Prison Nightmare Heart-Locking Art.

Now, there was only a longing and pursuit for power in Ao Jue's heart.

Under the dual impact of the Prison Nightmare Heart-Locking Art on his mind and body, the bottleneck between the Great Grandmaster and Land Immortal*Mortal Realm, which was like an insurmountable chasm for other cultivators, was also broken through by Ao Jue without any effort.

"Is this the power of the Land Immortal Realm??"

Ao Jue felt the power flowing in his body and the explosive force of his flesh, and couldn't help but exclaim.

The current Ao Jue was vastly different from the Ao Jue who had just entered the secret chamber to cultivate.

His changes were not only a world of difference in strength, but there had also been a very huge change in his appearance.

Although Ao Jue's strength had improved tremendously, because cultivating the Prison Nightmare Heart-Locking Art consumed too much mental energy and he was too obsessed.

It had consumed quite a bit of Ao Jue's purest life essence.

If it weren't for the fact that Ao Jue had now successfully stepped into the Land Immortal*Mortal Realm and increased his life essence, the current Ao Jue might have directly passed away due to the depletion of his origin.

Ao Jue's hair now had several strands of gray.

And his face was very pale, showing clear signs of mental depletion.

However, because Ao Jue had been meditating on forging his spirit in his heart for a long time.

Ao Jue's face was now full of determination, and the whole person seemed to have grown countless times.

At this moment, his pair of eyes had long since lost their previous immaturity; now, because of the Prison Nightmare Heart-Locking Art, Ao Jue's eyes were like an abyss.

If someone stared into his eyes for a long time, they would be pulled into the purgatory he visualized in his heart within a very short time, directly making them passively feel the pain of Purgatory Heart-Forging.

And there was no feedback acting on reality.

However, Ao Jue's eyes were now stained with a trace of red due to the Prison Nightmare Heart-Locking Art.

With his higher cultivation, Ao Jue naturally had a sense for the recent movement of the Jue Sword.

Feeling the violent power within the Jue Sword, the longing for power in Ao Jue's heart was as if it had been awakened.

"You've had enough of this world too, haven't you??!!!"

"Having been sealed for so long, you've also long wanted to appear in the eyes of the crowd and let countless people see your divine might, haven't you??!!!"

Ao Jue looked at the Jue Sword in his hand, murmuring as he stroked the sword body with his hand.

And the Jue Sword seemed to be able to understand what Ao Jue was saying.

Upon hearing Ao Jue's words, the Jue Sword, as if responding to Ao Jue, once again bloomed with scarlet light.

However, the light erupted from the Jue Sword was very weak, because a layer of pale blue radiance always appeared outside the Jue Sword, blocking the might erupted from it.
