“I cannot accept this. I cannot accept this…” The Millennium Owl crazily struggled and screamed frantically. Its body had suddenly dispersed and scattered into ashes and smoke. Only the crystal-clear demon nucleus protected by the electric-blue light avoided destruction.

“Boom!” The world began to tremble, and the sky shuddered.

At the moment, the Xuan energy reaching the ground from both moons and both suns had reached the perfect balance.

Yang energy reached the ground from both suns, and Yin energy reached the ground from both moons. The perfect fusion of both energies created the purest, most perfect Xuan energy. It was without any attributes or impurities and could be completely absorbed by any martial artist without any complex refining process.

Right now, all the martial artists in the world had closed their eyes and were practicing pranayama. They were chanting rapidly to absorb the purest and most perfect Xuan energy between heaven and earth in three hundred years. Everything in the world, including the beasts, was also greedily swallowing the mighty Xuan energy.

The powerful and pure Xuan energy was like the sun, shining everywhere and covering every corner of the Chaotic Mainland.

However, all of the Xuan energy within dozens of miles around Horror Mountain Village where Yang Dingtian was located was drawn in by the Yin Yang Five-Elements Formation and infused into the five demon nuclei. The Xuan energy then condensed into a very strong, incomparably pure, absolutely perfect energy that shot directly to the ground from above the Yin Yang Five-Elements Formation.

“Boom…” An incomparably powerful energy slammed into Yang Dingtian’s every pore.

“Only the fire burns the heart. Only the ice seals the heart. Only the wind tempts the heart. Only the electric splits the heart. Only the gold fortifies the heart…”

Yang Dingtian was chanting louder and louder, and eventually, it sounded exactly like a thunderstorm. It seemed like there were countless people chanting together.

Vast amounts of the purest Xuan energy poured into his body. Immediately, he felt like a dry river into which spring water was pouring, filling up countless streams in an instant and then merging into the river. When the river was full, the overflow went into his Sea of Energy.

“Ah… so comfortable…”

Yang Dingtian’s Xuan veins were extremely hungry, as was his Sea of Energy. Xuan energy was frantically irrigating his entire body, creating a wonderful feeling within.

He was like someone who had walked in the desert for a few days, dying of thirst. Now, he had jumped directly into a sweet pond.

He was like someone who was freezing who was suddenly exposed to the sun.

Large amounts of pure Xuan energy flowed endlessly through all parts of his body into his veins and eventually all gathered into his Sea of Energy.

Although his Sea of Energy seemed to be bottomless, the Xuan energy within had actually been compressed and condensed to 100 times its previous density.

Even with his Xuan energy being compressed, the flow was still too heavy. Without much time passing, the seemingly bottomless Sea of Energy was soon full.

However, endless amounts of Xuan energy still continuously flowed into his body.

Yang Dingtian felt his body expanding, almost as if it were about to burst.

At the moment, Ningning was still riding on the flying beast. She saw Yang Dingtian’s body begin to ooze a golden aura. It started with a trace and then got thicker and thicker, denser and denser.

Xuan energy continued to flow through the streams, through the rivers and finally all into his Sea of Energy. At the moment, Yang Dingtian’s body seemed to be about to explode.

Suddenly, countless veins in Yang Dingtian’s body began to shuffle the energy strangely, just like the flow of Xuan energy when he practiced the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. The direction and speed of the flow were ever-changing.

Eventually, all of the Xuan energy flowing into Yang Dingtian’s body began to follow this incomprehensible and mysterious route.

His Sea of Energy had already been stretched to the limit.

“Boom…” Suddenly, his stomach seemed to burst open. Golden light flashed, and everything in Yang Dingtian’s body fell into a short period of motionlessness.

Yang Dingtian broke through…

Immediately, the space of his Sea of energy that was full just a second ago increased by a level. What was just full instantly became empty, followed by another wave of limitless Xuan energy pouring in, plunging through the streams, strengthening the river, and finally filling the Sea of Energy once more.

Then, his Xuan veins again drove the Xuan energy through the mysterious and complicated route, using the same flow he used when practicing the Pig Killing Swordsmanship.

Then, his Sea of energy once again began to expand…

Soon, his Sea of Energy reached the limit again.

“Boom…” Inside his Sea of Energy, white light burst. Yang Dingtian’s body fell into a void for a short time again.

He broke through again.

It took a few months for others to break through after their first, but for Yang Dingtian, he was facing the next breakthrough after only a moment.

“Boom…”

“Boom…”

“Boom…”

He didn’t know how many times his Sea of Energy expanded, and he had no idea how many times the white light enveloped him. Thus, he didn’t know how many times he broke through.

If his master, Dongfang Niemie, hadn’t already cleaned his veins, Yang Dingtian’s veins would have already collapsed, and his Sea of Energy would have already exploded.

…

Ningning couldn’t see Yang Dingtian from the sky because he was completely enveloped in the rays of light.

The perfect Xuan energy within a hundred miles was absorbed by the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation and then injected like a beam of light into Yang Dingtian.

The beast under Ningning suddenly screamed in horror and quickly flew away from the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation. It could vividly feel the formation’s suction force swallowing all of the Xuan energy around, including the Xuan energy inside its body.

Looking from afar, there was a beam of light connecting Yang Dingtian to the heavens.

At the same time, the Yin and Yang combination of two moons and two suns that occurred every three hundred years was gradually separating. The dark sky began to recover a little bit of light, and the Xuan energy between heaven and earth also thinned a little bit, becoming a little bit imperfect and impure.

Three minutes passed.

Five minutes passed.

Ten minutes passed.

Fifteen minutes passed.

In the end, the two suns moved completely past the two moons. In an instant, the entire sky was completely restored, and the two moons disappeared without a trace. The suns continued shining, and the whole world was bright again.

The tri-centennial solar eclipse was now over.

The voracious swallowing of Xuan energy by Yang Dingtian ceased, and the light around his body also gradually dispersed.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…”

Gold-type, ice-type, wind-type, and fire-type, these four types of demon nuclei disintegrated, vanishing like ashes and smoke.

…

Ningning urged her riding beast to quickly fly over to Yang Dingtian. At the moment, he hadn’t woken yet. His eyes were still closed, and his breathing was steady. Although Ningning was very weak at the moment, she still sat next to Yang Dingtian to guard him.

Five minutes, ten minutes, half an hour passed…

Yang Dingtian still hadn’t opened his eyes.

There had just been such a huge phenomenon here, which would definitely attract the attention of many people. It would be very dangerous if someone came right now because it would be quite difficult for Ningning to protect Yang Dingtian on her own. She had to get help in order to protect him.

So, Ningning waved to the flying beast and whispered in its ear when it flew to her.

The flying beast then nodded and flew towards the Northeast.

Half an hour later, a few black shadows appeared on the horizon. The black shadows quickly got closer and closer. There were dozens of beasts of varying levels, strong and weak. After entering the ruins of Horror Mountain Village, they took the initiative to sit around the Burial Tower to protect Yang Dingtian.

Within the next hour, another few dozen beasts arrived and took up positions around the Burial Tower.

At the moment, Ximen Ningning felt a bit relieved. With a lot of beasts here, even if a strong enemy came, they should be able to hold him off for a while.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in the sky. This was a huge flying beast with someone standing on it.

Ningning’s eyes widened, and she went on high alert. At the same time, the hundreds of beasts sitting around the corner were also tense, staring towards the shadow and hissing fiercely.

The black shadow got closer and closer and finally hovered over Horror Mountain Village.

“Whooshing…” A dozen flying beasts rushed into the sky while hissing fiercely, ferociously staring at the enemy and ready to attack the flying beast and the people on it.

“Hold on, we’re on the same side.” After Ningning got a clear look at the people riding the flying beast, she sighed in relief and communicated with the beasts using words that other people could not understand. Suddenly, the beasts that were ferocious a second ago quieted down, and the dozen flying beasts immediately stopped their attacks.

It was Zhao Mu and Zhao Wujin. They saw the ridiculous scene of the heavens falling and the earth bending, the radiant light that was visible from a few hundred miles away. They immediately knew that things had gone wrong. Their hearts filled with dread as they knew the beast had broken free from the seal and was destroying everything around it. They firmly believed that Yang Dingtian was definitely no longer alive. However, they still risked the danger to come check on him after detecting things returning to normal.

“Brother Yang.” Zhan Mu felt like laughing after seeing Yang Dingtian sitting in pranayama at the top of the tower.

His beast stopped above the Burial Tower. Zhao Mu jumped down, and Zhao Wujin followed behind him.

Zhao Wujin looked at Yang Dingtian, who was currently meditating with his eyes closed. After gazing for a few moments, he muttered to himself, “It’s God’s will. It’s definitely God’s will. It’s so fascinating. He actually did it. Incredible, incredible!”

Zhao Mu said, “Did Brother Yang really succeed? Ms. Ximen, fortunately, you made it back in time. But how did he do it? Can you please tell us what happened?”

Ximen Ningning didn’t know how to answer him because this touched on some of her secrets as well. But Zhao Mu was indeed a good person, and she and Yang Dingtian owed him a lot.

“Yang Dingtian has succeeded, Zhao Mu. He will find a way to get even for you in the future.” Zhao Wujin then said, “The only thing we need to know is how many breakthroughs he’s achieved. I couldn’t begin to guess. A normal person is likely to gain three to four levels when they first practice their Martial Arts secret scroll. I believe Yang Dingtian has gone far beyond this number. It’s perhaps even possible for him to have broken through more than ten times.”

Ningning felt her mouth dry. She looked at Yang Dingtian with anxiety. Although it was already shocking enough to break through ten levels one shot, for Yang Dingtian, he needed to break through to become at least a Six-star Xuan Martial Artist to avoid losing in the Big Elimination Battle tomorrow. Otherwise, he would be expelled from Cloud Sky City.

“Little Tian, I believed that you could do it. Of course you can break through to become a Six-star Xuan Martial Artist!”

(Note: The first few levels of the Martial artists are: Enlightener > Novice Martial Artist > Xuan Martial Artist > Xuan Warrior > Xuan Instructor.)
