The two ferocious beasts on the River Styx were only ten meters away from Wang Hao, which was already the limit. If he got any closer, no matter how strong his mental power and spiritual sense were, he would not be able to escape the perception of the two ferocious beasts.
"There's no other way but to fight!"
Just as Wang Hao was preparing to fight desperately, the Silver Shark was furious and let out a strange cry. The ferocious beast next to it took this opportunity to ambush it and directly bit off a piece of flesh.
In an instant, the two ferocious beasts clashed again, their crimson blood changing the color of the River Styx, and a thick, bloody stench emanated from its surface.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Hao quickly pulled the wooden boat away from the area, but he did not leave completely. He used spirit stones to set up a small array to conceal his presence.
He then sat cross-legged on the wooden boat, holding the petals of the spirit flower in his hands. The spiritual energy within his body surged out and rushed towards the petals, beginning to refine them.
Under the refinement of spiritual energy, after about a breath, the petals of the spirit flower melted slightly, dripping a drop of crystal-clear spiritual liquid that emitted a rich, exotic fragrance and flowed into Wang Hao's palm.
With a "hiss," Wang Hao absorbed the drop of spiritual liquid into his meridians, where it merged with the spiritual energy within his body.
The spiritual liquid enters the meridians and immediately transforms into a powerful, fiery medicinal force. As the true qi circulates, it flows to all parts of the body and finally converges at the Azure Lotus Dao Foundation in the dantian.
With each drop of spiritual liquid he absorbed, Wang Hao's cultivation level increased by one point. As the liquid continued to melt, the volume of each petal of the Nirvana Fire Spirit Flower became smaller and smaller.
"Whoosh!"
About half an hour later, a large amount of spiritual fire surged from Wang Hao's body, forming a fireball with a diameter of five meters, which enveloped him in the center.
The power within Wang Hao grew stronger and stronger, like a balloon being stretched to its limit. The meridians within his body could no longer contain that powerful force, which is why it surged out of his body.
At the same time, it also proves that Wang Hao is about to break through the shackles and reach a new level.
"boom!"
Wang Hao's dantian in his lower abdomen and the sea of qi between his eyebrows vibrated simultaneously, and his meridians expanded rapidly. After a short while, he finally broke through his realm and reached the Great Perfection of the Earthly Realm and the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm in one fell swoop.
At the moment of breakthrough, the capacity of the Qi Sea and Dantian increased, becoming extremely thirsty, and began to frantically absorb the surrounding energy.
The spiritual fire that originally enveloped Wang Hao's body surged up to his brow and dantian like a tide, entering his expanded sea of qi.
Before Wang Hao broke through his realm, he had already absorbed one-third of a petal from a spiritual flower.
After breaking through his cultivation level, Wang Hao's refining and absorption speed became even faster.
About half an hour later, Wang Hao completely absorbed a petal of the Spirit Flower. His true energy and spiritual power became incredibly abundant, and his skin emitted a strange radiance.
Wang Hao raised his arm and gently pushed out with his palm. Powerful true energy condensed in front of his palm into a huge true energy handprint that was two meters long.
With just this hand seal, he should be able to severely injure experts of the level of Liu Shi Si and Li Lin.
Wang Hao did not release the hand seal. Instead, he circulated his internal energy to draw the true energy from the palm seal back into his body.
"If I refine another petal of the Spirit Flower, I should be able to reach the pinnacle of my cultivation. At that time, my strength will be able to improve even further, and I won't be too far from the Heavenly Realm and the Golden Core stage."
Wang Hao did not immediately refine the second petal of the spirit flower because he sensed that the battle not far away was nearing its end.
As expected, Silver Shark was stronger, severely injuring the giant octopus beast and seizing the Spirit Flower.
Although the octopus beast was injured, it was still very strong and not much weaker than the Silver Shark. When it escaped, it took away five petals of the Spirit Flower.
Silver Shark seized the remaining four petals and seeds of the Spirit Flower, and let out another long howl, as if declaring its dominance in this area of water and demonstrating its powerful strength.
The ferocious beasts in the water, upon hearing the roar of the Silver Shark, trembled with fear and dared not plot against the Nirvana Spirit Flower any longer, immediately fleeing in the opposite direction.
The entire body of water became completely still.
Silver Shark swam to the bottom of the water and swallowed the Spirit Flower Seed and four Spirit Flower Petals, preparing to use the medicinal power of the Nirvana Spirit Flower to purify itself to the level of a fifth-order ferocious beast.
The Silver Shark is now a top-tier fourth-order ferocious beast, with strength comparable to a martial artist at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm.
With the medicinal power of the Nirvana Spirit Flower, it can completely improve its physique, and there is even a great chance that it will undergo a transformation.
Once it becomes a fifth-tier ferocious beast, its significance changes completely.
In the future, it will remain a top-tier overlord in the Dead River section, and the area it controls will become even more expansive.
With the project nearing completion, Silver Shark was naturally thrilled.
Just then, Wang Hao suddenly appeared, wielding the Yin-Yang Profound Iron Sword Embryo, and slashed at the Silver Light Shark's vital points.
Silver Shark had just finished a fierce battle and had also taken a spiritual medicine, leaving his true energy stagnant. Enraged, he immediately released his beast soul.
A blinding light emanated from its skull, and a ferocious and domineering soul shadow flew out, exuding the aura of a wild beast.
The beast soul of a ferocious beast and the martial soul of a martial artist are of the same nature.
Only high-grade fourth-tier ferocious beasts can cultivate their martial spirit and reach the realm of "martial spirit leaving the body".
The Silver Shark's beast soul unleashed an incomparably powerful force, revealing its ferocious teeth as it charged towards Wang Hao, intending to crush him in one bite.
"Hmph, you have a beast soul, but I have a martial soul and spiritual consciousness."
A white beam of light shot out from above Wang Hao's head.
A figure that looked exactly like Wang Hao flew out of his body and went to fight against the beast soul of the Silver Shark.
"Boom!"
The beast soul and the martial soul collided, forming a powerful energy wave.
With his spiritual power and strong spiritual awareness, Wang Hao was not afraid of such a battle at all. Even if it was a Golden Core Great Perfection expert or a half-step Nascent Soul expert, he would not be intimidated at all.
Both beast souls and martial souls can mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into their own power.
The more powerful a soul is, the more spiritual energy it can draw upon, and the stronger the power it unleashes.
Silver Shark originally thought that releasing the beast soul would make it easy to kill the human who had ambushed him, but he did not expect that the human had actually cultivated a martial soul.
Its beast soul was completely powerless against its opponent, and coupled with Wang Hao's successful sneak attack, it coughed up mouthfuls of blood and howled incessantly.
"Thunder and Lightning Spear"
The spiritual energy in the water converged towards Wang Hao's martial soul, transforming into streaks of lightning.
The lightning bolts intertwined, forming a halberd that pierced the soul shadow of the beast spirit.
It seemed that the Silver Shark's beast soul was about to be pierced by the lightning halberd...
Suddenly, the silver shark begged for mercy, communicating with Wang Hao through its beast soul, saying, "Human powerhouse, I am willing to submit to you and become your war beast mount. Please spare my life."
The Thunder War Spear hovered above the Silver Shark's beast soul, radiating a bright light. Its sharp edge and cold gleam frightened the Silver Shark into begging for mercy.
