Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 882: Chapter 882: Unexpected Breakthrough

Ye Qingchen gradually awoke from his coma, opening his eyes to find himself out of the Mirror of Illusion.

He looked around and was surprised to find the scenery completely different from before.

Now he was in a lush valley, surrounded by verdant forests, with the air filled with a faint floral aroma.

The valley was alive with birdsong and the scent of flowers, the stream babbled, the sky was as blue and pure as a wash, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating mottled light and shadows on the ground.

In the distance stood a towering waterfall, the water rushing down, stirring up layers of mist that formed a rainbow under the sunlight.

The entire valley was filled with tranquility and harmony, in stark contrast to the perils of the Mirror of Illusion.

”Am I dead or did I come out?” Ye Qingchen couldn’t quite believe the beautiful scene before him.

He slowly stood up, stretching his limbs, and immediately felt a surge of power within him.

Ye Qingchen sensed the changes within his body and quickly closed his eyes.

After circulating his Spiritual Power, he was delighted to find that his Spiritual Power had significantly increased, even breaking through the previous bottleneck.

Yes!

He made a breakthrough!

He broke through to the Seventh Layer of the Martial Emperor Realm!

Within him, his Spiritual Power was like a rushing river, constantly flowing through his meridians, full of vitality and strength.

The wood element and water element perfectly merged together, forming a formidable force, widening and strengthening his meridians, greatly increasing his reserve of Spiritual Power.

With every breath, he seemed to be inhaling the purest Spiritual Energy from between heaven and earth, the energy within him constantly surged, his Spiritual Power waves rising like layers of sea waves.

Ye Qingchen felt this unprecedented power and couldn’t help but open his eyes.

The joy on his face was undeniable: ”I... really broke through! Hahaha! Who would’ve thought? I never would’ve expected it!”

Though joy filled his face, his heart was more about sheer disbelief.

He looked down at his hands, feeling the constant stream of surging power pouring from within him, as if a mere wave could shake mountains and rivers.

He could feel his body becoming lighter and more agile, filled with boundless strength and vitality.

Every cell seemed to be cheering, as if they had been reborn.

”Why did I break through after falling into a coma? What truly happened?” Ye Qingchen couldn’t help but ask.

He recalled his pre-coma experiences, remembering the various dangers in the Mirror of Illusion and the moment he was pulled into the vortex.

He vaguely felt that the endless power of the water element and wood element had deeply transformed and enhanced his body while he was unconscious.

Ye Qingchen closed his eyes again, carefully sensing the changes within.

His Spiritual Power was not only more abundant, but circulated faster, and his meridians were tougher, able to withstand more powerful Spiritual Power impacts.

His body felt reborn, stronger and more perfect.

”It seems this Mirror of Illusion not only let me break through my Cultivation but also greatly enhanced my inner Spiritual Power.”

Looking at the wood element mixed with the water element, Ye Qingchen vaguely guessed what was happening.

This opportunity was far too rare, beyond anything he had previously imagined.

However, this Secret Realm truly helped him immensely.

This time, he’s risen several levels.

Once he got out, those people might no longer be his match.

Ye Qingchen took a deep breath, feeling the dense Spiritual Energy in the air, his heart full of confidence.

After adjusting himself, Ye Qingchen stepped forward, leaving this valley, heading toward a new goal.

The birdsong and water sounds of the valley gradually disappeared behind him, as the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges.

Ye Qingchen continued onward, soon arriving at the fourth level: Thunder Trial.

As soon as he entered the Trial Ground, the scenery immediately changed drastically.

Before him was a desolate wasteland, the sky was covered with black clouds, roaring like a great sea of lightning.

Thunder roared, deafening, each lightning bolt slashed through the sky, illuminating the entire Trial Field. The thunder seemed alive, roaming everywhere, emitting dazzling light, the lightning forming a net, full of endless threat and force.

On the ground, everywhere were scorched marks and deep ruts from lightning strikes, as if this wasteland had undergone countless thunder baptisms.

The air was filled with a pungent burnt smell, everything around seemed exceptionally dangerous.

As soon as Ye Qingchen stepped into the Trial Field, a massive lightning bolt quickly attacked him, its speed quick as lightning, with no time to react, he felt a powerful electric current instantly penetrate his body.

His body jolted violently, the intense shock made him feel severe pain, forcing him to step back, his legs faltering, sitting down on the ground.

He gritted his teeth, feeling the power of the lightning, and couldn’t help but secretly curse, ”This Thunder Trial is indeed perilous!”

Ye Qingchen hurriedly pulled his foot back, cautiously staring ahead, not daring to take another step rashly.

Who knows if this level could enhance his Cultivation like the previous ones?

Ye Qingchen’s heart raced, sweat broke out on his forehead, he took a deep breath, striving to calm his emotions.

The power of the lightning was simply too overwhelming, each bolt seemed to possess world-destroying power, forcing him to handle it carefully.

He lowered his head, examining his body, and found that while the lightning strike had caused him severe pain, his body wasn’t severely damaged, evidently his body’s resilience had greatly increased after his Cultivation’s enhancement.

Even so, he dared not relax, the might of the Thunder Trial far exceeded his expectations.

Ye Qingchen stood up again, surveying this lightning woven wasteland. Each lightning seemed like a raging dragon, ready to tear apart any intruder.

To pass this level, he must find the right strategy to counter it.

Ye Qingchen focused his mind, observing the patterns of the lightning, attempting to find the gaps and weak points.

But after observing for a long time, he didn’t find any patterns.

Ye Qingchen decided not to wait any longer.

He circulated his Spiritual Power, forming a solid Protective Light Shield.

The Protective Spirit Light, like a transparent barrier, tightly enveloped him, flickering with a gentle glow, shielding him from the external lightning attacks.

Ye Qingchen cautiously stepped forward, and upon entering the Thunder Trial Field, immediately felt the surrounding air filled with intense electric currents, every strand of air seemingly carrying piercing electricity.

Above, the clouds gathered thickly, lightning like silver snakes roamed within the clouds, ready to launch a fatal strike at any moment.
