516 Breakthrough

As one slowly awakens, life between heaven and earth is fleeting, like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall, and time rushing by like a shuttle.

I will not let this day go to waste. My mind is clearer now, and I will protect my small plot of land.

Looking at the empty, giant pit, the once glittering spirit stones inside were now reduced to dust.

The once-dense space was now almost empty.

It's unknown how long it takes to form here, but it's being consumed so quickly.

The deterrent effect must be the supernatural power brought by the dragon bones.

With an invincible physical body, immortal and indestructible, and unparalleled supernatural powers, one can travel ten thousand miles in a single step and behead enemies across ten thousand miles. There are simply not enough kill points to go around.

The immense spiritual energy, even after being completely absorbed, only yielded ten million killing points. This is really pushing my limits.

With eyes closed and mind focused, feel your cells full and plump, as if they are about to overflow. With a firm mind, raise your spiritual shield.

Slowly, the physical body began to undergo strange changes, as if it were a shift in density.

Each cell is an embodiment of immense power, pure power, so great that even the earth cannot bear its weight.

Indestructible and unbreakable.

From the outside in, and from the inside out, a tranquil mind is impervious to all laws and indestructible through countless eons.

It seems to be one with heaven and earth, moving in step with time, and controlling the rhythm of all things in the world.

To live as long as heaven and earth, to shine as brightly as the sun and moon, to transcend the mundane world, to transcend life and death, for heaven and earth perish while I perish.

The body's energy is ever-renewing, giving a sense of control over time, as if one can control time itself, making time feel tangible and slow.

The cells in the body transform into diamond sand, hard and indestructible, eternal and indestructible. The flowing blood also seems to be completely crystallized. The meridians are as wide as a mighty river, and the internal organs are full of energy and never go out.

Divine Skill: Currently at 3000 layers of Divine Bell Shield, next level [Insufficient Kill Points, Calculating]

Everything else remains unchanged.

A slight smile played on his lips; he had finally stumped the attribute.

With a clenched fist, the surrounding air exploded with a deafening roar, as if mountains were collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.

He slowly gathered his strength, stomped on the ground, and the ground suddenly sank, instantly burying him halfway into the earth.

I've grown taller, to about six feet five inches. My muscles seem to have gained a kind of spiritual power, each one brimming with strength and vitality.

Forged through countless trials, it is as hard as diamond, with distinct lines, as solid and majestic as mountains. The abdominal muscles are as clearly sculpted as if carved by a knife, the biceps and triceps are as hard as diamond, and the waist is completely diamond-like, unaffected by countless bends.

If you stand still, ordinary swords and blades will have difficulty injuring you; however, this is not the case with a gentleman's sword.

No wonder many accomplished cultivators have bodies that remain incorrupt for thousands of years, their protective energy shields or qi are unbreakable, and ordinary weapons cannot penetrate them.

As if sensing its master's thoughts, the blade hummed, eager to try.

Suddenly, the sword spirit appeared, its body seemingly enveloped in starlight, adorning the surroundings with twinkling, vibrant, and intense starlight—yet it was a completely different set of lights.

The top was a tight-fitting, off-the-shoulder short robe that perfectly outlined her slender waist and upper body. The low neckline was elegant, and the skin was snow-white without a trace of blood.

Her lower body was also a purple short skirt robe, the hem of which flowed naturally and gracefully without any wind, making her long legs appear even taller and more elegant. She wore a pair of golden dragon-embellished openwork war boots.

The boots were inlaid with dazzling gems of various colors, shimmering with a brilliant light. The gems seemed to be a gift from heaven and earth, containing powerful energy.

The golden dragon-patterned bracers adhered to the sword spirit's arm like skin, while her long, glossy black hair fell naturally, adorned with a delicate flower that emitted a faint fragrance, its origin and origin unknown, as if it existed naturally.

At this moment, with no one else around, he exuded a languid air as the blade gently hovered in mid-air to the side.

Her eyes were clear, ethereal, crisp, and bright, like the song of a nightingale circling the rafters or a lark singing. She asked curiously, "Master, let me try."

He had just finished speaking and was about to pick up the knife to give it a try.

With a gentle smile, He Chen quickly reassured her, and she calmed down.

With no one around, the sword spirit completely relaxed and happily flew swiftly around the underground spirit stone ground.

The surrounding rocks were as hard as tofu, and the sword spirit, like a joyful lark, flew freely around.

"Master, there are spirit ores here, hmm, fire spirit ores. And lightning spirit ores too."

The voice arrived as well as the person. Seeing that the sword spirit showed no surprise, He Chen smiled slightly, a hint of doubt in his heart. Just now, he had received the fire spirit ore and the lightning spirit ore, pure power containing flames and thunder.

I don't think I noticed, which is unacceptable.

Gathering his own energy, he moved slowly and naturally. On the ground, there were no longer large footprints with each step; instead, the footprints became tiny, as if he were walking on snow without leaving a trace.

Upon arriving at the discovery site, they saw a huge boulder the size of a large iron pot, which had been gently flicked aside by the sword spirit. Fire spirit ore and lightning spirit ore, like exposed natural iron ore and natural gold ore, quietly awaited.

It was as if it was just waiting for the sword spirit to take it away.

Upon closer inspection, the bottom of this large iron pot, extending several feet, seemed to contain an abundance of spirit ore, which appeared to obstruct spiritual senses, making it difficult to examine clearly.

However, beneath the several-zhang-long and wide expanse lay only fire spirit ore and lightning spirit ore, as if one had fallen into a mine pit, and each one seemed to have been prepared in advance.

A wave of jealousy and speechlessness arose from nowhere, and a sigh escaped from my heart.

Seeing that Dao Ling showed no surprise whatsoever, his expression remained calm and composed, without any shock or disbelief.

A slight, satisfied smile played on his lips; he seemed pleased with the discovery of the spirit ore.

His eyes were like the bright moon, filled with anticipation, as if he were asking if it was safe to use.

With a gentle smile, warm and bright, all the complexities in Dao Ling's eyes were purified and sublimated by her smile.

She nodded quickly and said softly, "Okay."

Having received an affirmative answer, the sword spirit softly said, "Thank you, Master."

With the Gentleman's Blade in hand, the blade and its spirit disappeared directly into the spirit ore.

With a slight smile, he closed his eyes and waited quietly, sensing the changes within himself and becoming familiar with his own power. Suddenly, he felt a power emanating from the sword spirit, and the Thunderfire Heart Technique rapidly increased, seemingly brewing a change.

In Changzhou, outside the yamen mansion, Lin Yi and Yun Heiyi accompanied him all the way. The area in front of the yamen had already been cleaned up. The yamen grounds were suppressed by a local aura that was not easily moved.
