Chapter 255: Preparing for Breakthrough!

Shen Xing even felt that this continuous cycle of fighting, cultivating, fighting, and cultivating, overall, the speed of strength improvement was even faster than the normal hard cultivation.

And this is actually common sense.

It’s just that most martial artists do it this way, while Shen Xing, because of his constantly accumulating resource advantage, had overlooked this point.

But now that he was aware of it, the speed of his realm’s improvement could even have greater potential.

According to the current estimate, reaching the Third Realm Completion and attempting to break through to the Spirit Realm would happen within the next one to two weeks.

After completing his cultivation, Shen Xing returned to the Sand Court Oasis as usual.

Naturally, he was hidden in the spatial gap.

And this time, as soon as he came out, he clearly felt the difference.

There were no longer any idle people on the streets within the city, but only groups of martial artists patrolling constantly. Each team was composed of a full five Spirit Realm martial artists, leading thirty Third Realm martial artists, and those Spirit Realm martial artists were all wearing powerful divine weapons.

Yes, all of them were divine weapons that had initially given birth to their own consciousness.

“Sand Court’s way of artifact refining is indeed quite good.” Shen Xing naturally saw this point. “In addition, it seems that the last time I scared that Mountain and Sea Realm expert quite a bit, they should be getting serious now.”

This state of alert was probably the first time for the people in this city.

Spirit Realm martial artists were not worth such a formation, and if it were a Mountain and Sea Realm expert, this formation would not be of much use.

However, this did indeed pose a greater challenge to Shen Xing.

This meant that if he still wanted to continue his sneak attacks, he would have to kill one or two of the five Spirit Realm martial artists at the fastest speed, and then retreat before the Mountain and Sea Realm expert could intervene.

“It feels difficult, but difficulty brings results.” Shen Xing clearly regarded these opponents as objects to hone his combat intent.

He hid in the spatial gap, constantly moving around this area, looking for his target.

There were a total of twelve teams, which meant sixty Spirit Realm martial artists. Naturally, their strengths varied. It didn’t take Shen Xing long to find the weakest one, and he even targeted the weakest Spirit Realm martial artist among them.

Whoosh——!

Shen Xing took a long breath.

His body instantly entered the Dragon Transformation state. The irrepressible aura triggered the warning equipment’s reaction. The five Spirit Realm martial artists, who were already on high alert, also reacted quickly.

But Shen Xing was faster than them!

Every move he made now, every slash, was pushing his limits. Whether it was his Martial Path Intent or his Space Intent, none were hidden. At an extreme speed within almost one-hundredth of a second, he appeared in front of his target. If this moment’s action was slowed down thousands or even tens of thousands of times, one could clearly see that Shen Xing’s powerful Yuan Power-infused slash was even faster than the activation speed of the Yuan Power Shield and even the divine weapon’s Yuan Power!

Almost before anyone could react, the long saber had already sliced through the neck.

Even Shen Xing himself, only after this second passed, did he confirm the result of his slash.

Joy surged in his heart.

His Startling Dragon Saber had already touched the Major Completion level.

Martial Path Intent is not that after learning the new realm version, the lower realm level is meaningless, that is the deep foundation of this martial art.

In other words, a person who has cultivated all the past low-realm Martial Path Intents to the Completion level will definitely cultivate faster in the high realm than someone who directly starts learning from the high realm.

This has nothing to do with talent, but merely accumulation.

If this Martial Path Intent can reach Major Completion at the Third Realm level, then when it comes to the Fourth Realm, it won’t take much time to reach Minor Completion.

However, just as he was lost in thought, or rather, reminiscing, Shen Xing suddenly felt his hair stand on end.

Without thinking, he hid in the spatial gap and instantly teleported.

In the next instant after leaving, a terrifying Yuan Power swept over. This time, the Mountain and Sea Realm expert did not express his anger, nor did he roar, but his arrival speed was faster by one or two seconds!

Previously, there were two or three seconds for Shen Xing, but now, there was only a short one or two seconds to make a move!

It has to be said that something like instantly killing a Spirit Realm expert under the nose of a Mountain and Sea Realm expert might be the first time it has happened, whether in the Human Federation or in this world ━ this requires not only strength but also a way to escape instantly.

From this perspective, Shen Xing could be proud.

But it was not enough!

After returning to the secret realm, he tried several more slashes, but found it difficult to achieve the same effect again. Only when truly under the threat of a Mountain and Sea Realm expert could he achieve such an extreme burst, touching the Major Completion level of the Startling Dragon Saber!

“Three more times, three times is enough.” Shen Xing muttered to himself, his eyes burning with passion.

He suddenly began to enjoy the thrill of dancing on the edge of a knife. For others, this might have great risks, but for him who possessed the shuttle, the risks and pressure were the same, but even if he failed, he could most likely return alive.

In that case, wouldn’t it be a waste not to make good use of having a treasure like the shuttle?

After four days of hard cultivation, Shen Xing went to the oasis city again!

This time, as soon as he appeared, he could feel the aura of the Mountain and Sea Realm expert, almost everywhere!

He could even clearly feel the boundless anger contained within this aura.

Obviously, that Mountain and Sea Realm expert was completely enraged.

Being repeatedly provoked by a Third Realm martial artist, and even having their Spirit Realm martial artists killed, was an indescribable humiliation for a Mountain and Sea Realm expert.

◈◈◈

But Shen Xing was not afraid.

It was still just an extremely fast slash!

Then he instantly left!

This time, everything was completed within just one second. Even though the Mountain and Sea Realm expert’s speed was a few points faster, it was still useless.

After another attack, Shen Xing’s Startling Dragon Saber finally reached Major Completion!

Under a sneak attack, even the speed of an automatic defense-type divine weapon could not keep up with his saber speed. He had almost brought “fast” to the extreme.

However, when he made his third attack, he found that the Mountain and Sea Realm expert seemed to have completely given up.

After the attack, he deliberately waited in the spatial gap for several seconds, but the Mountain and Sea Realm expert still did not react.

“Tsk.” Shen Xing clicked his tongue.

Sure enough, anger also has a time limit. Once it was clear that he couldn’t be caught, no matter how angry he was, it was just impotent rage.

However, it was enough.

He had officially reached Completion, and after returning this time, he would break through to the Spirit Realm!

This was undoubtedly a crucial realm, no less than the leap from the First Realm to the Second Realm Innate. Even in the Human Federation, the Fourth Realm could already be considered entering the category of “experts” and truly entering the ranks of the “upper echelons.”

Not to mention anything else, just the ability to fly through the sky and burrow into the earth filled Shen Xing with anticipation.

“It’s time for closed-door cultivation.”

His figure flashed, and he appeared in the Mysterious Dragon Secret Realm.

Breaking through to the Fourth Realm was not difficult for him. Of course, it also required a small opportunity, preferably pills that exceeded his current level. Fifth-grade pills would suffice. He currently had more than twenty Nine-Pattern Golden Dragon Pills. Although these pills were only at the lower level of the fifth grade, they were particularly suitable for Dragon-Type martial artists.

Moreover, they had already reached the fifth-grade level.

At this moment, Shen Xing sat cross-legged in the secret realm, holding one in his hand.

On its surface, nine patterns resembling golden dragons were constantly moving. In addition to the rich, almost materialized Yuan Qi, one could also feel mysterious auras. It was like the manifestation of Martial Path Intent, like the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and even more like the transcendent rules unique to Yuan Qi.

If pills of this level were brought to the Human Federation, they would definitely cause a sensation throughout the entire federation.

At least fifty percent of Third Realm martial artists could have a chance to advance to the Spirit Realm with these pills.

“Closed-door cultivation cannot create the strongest, but if resources are sufficient, martial arts can still be popularized.” Such a thought suddenly appeared in Shen Xing’s mind, and he just smiled casually, quickly emptying his mind.

He fully activated his cultivation-type Martial Path Intent.

In fact, the breakthrough of a major realm is also very important to the level of the main cultivation-type Martial Path Intent.

Most martial artists are stuck on this.

Even with the same cultivation technique, Major Completion will inevitably have a higher probability of breakthrough than Minor Completion or even just Entry-Level. And Shen Xing’s Third Realm Ten Thousand Dragons Technique was actually only at the Minor Completion level.

No other reason, the Heaven Grade level was simply too high.

And the time he had spent in the Third Realm was too short.

For a Martial Path Intent of this level, and a cultivation-type at that, to be able to go from Entry-Level to Minor Completion in just a few months was already considered heaven-defying talent. It was more because the level of the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique was accumulated bit by bit. Otherwise, he might not even have reached Entry-Level yet.

However, it was enough to break through to the Spirit Realm.

A Nine-Pattern Golden Dragon Pill was directly swallowed.

Boom——!

In an instant, an almost tangible dragon’s might erupted from Shen Xing’s body. The golden flames in his eyes burst into flames, even surpassing his eyes. His entire Divine Soul was trembling violently.

The powerful medicinal properties were constantly impacting his body, his Yuan Power, and his Divine Soul.

In the past, cultivation could not refine it, and what Shen Xing needed to do was to gradually manifest his rapidly growing Divine Soul and integrate it into his body to achieve the fusion of the Divine Soul and the physical body, integrating the vast spirituality contained in the Divine Soul into every inch of his skin and every cell.

This process, in the Human Federation, was sometimes described as “traditional nuclear fusion activation.”

Because, to achieve fusion, one must be in an extremely high-pressure state.

The higher the better!

And after completing the first step of fusion, a series of chain reactions will occur, making it much easier.

“Just a little bit more.” Shen Xing felt the state of his Divine Soul and body, gritted his teeth, and swallowed another Nine-Pattern Golden Dragon Pill!
