The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 863: Chapter 863: Saint Path Realm 3

In one year, although Jing Yan’s martial arts cultivation still remained at the Second Realm of Holy, his combat power had greatly increased.

A year ago, when Jing Yan entered the Death Abyss and faced the combined attack of Old Fourth and Old Fifth in the First Hall of the Death Temple, without using his Sword Intent Divine Ability, he was completely at a disadvantage.

But now, when facing the encirclement of the four Life Puppets including Old Fourth, Jing Yan didn’t even need to use his Sword Intent Divine Ability to fight them to a standstill. If he used his Sword Intent Divine Ability a bit, he could crush the four Life Puppets, making them completely lose the will to continue fighting.

This combat power had indeed made great progress.

”Jing Yan!” Bai Xue looked at Jing Yan.

Jing Yan certainly wouldn’t choose to spar with the four puppets while Bai Xue was in secluded cultivation. The sparring would undoubtedly create a lot of noise, possibly affecting Bai Xue’s training.

It was only when Bai Xue took a brief break from her closed-door cultivation that Jing Yan found the four puppets to spar with.

”Are the Second and Third brothers of the Second Hall really that powerful? Even with your current strength, you can’t pass?” Bai Xue glanced at the depths of the First Hall.

”Bai Xue little girl, you have no idea how terrifying my Second Brother and Third Brother’s combat power is! Hmph, you see it looks like Jing Yan is playing when he fights us four, but he’s definitely no match for either of my Second or Third Brothers,” Old Seven, the talkative one, said.

Now, even the four puppets including Old Fourth had become familiar with Bai Xue.

The four puppets were also quite fond of Bai Xue.

”Second Brother and Third Brother are indeed strong, I’m currently no match for them. But, wait until I advance to the Saint Realm Third Stage, then it might be a different story.” Jing Yan squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

For half a month, Jing Yan did not enter secluded cultivation but spent his days chatting with Bai Xue and the four Life Puppets, occasionally sparring, especially with the most active Old Seven, whom Jing Yan often caught to practice his new weapon and Sword Intent Divine Ability.

Anyway, these Life Puppets had extremely strong body recovery abilities, even if Jing Yan’s dark red longsword left some scars on them, they could recover instantly.

On this day, Jing Yan went into secluded cultivation again, first refining several furnaces of Heavenly Repairing Pills.

From the Second Realm of Holy breaking through to the Saint Realm Third Stage, it would certainly consume a lot of resources, so he had to be well-prepared.

After refining the elixir, Jing Yan spent millions of top-grade Spirit Stones to set up a Gathering Essence Array.

This formation could continually supply Spiritual Energy during his breakthrough.

Sitting cross-legged within the Gathering Essence Array, Jing Yan placed the Heavenly Repairing Pills beside him, glanced at the less than two hundred Divine Crystals left, and sighed in dismay.

As his cultivation increased, the consumption of Divine Crystals had become more astonishing.

When he was at the Taoist King Realm, one Divine Crystal could sustain him until he advanced to the Taoist Emperor Realm. But now, if he fully absorbed one Divine Crystal, it would be exhausted in around thirty minutes.

”Let’s begin!” After sighing, Jing Yan calmed his mind and began to attack the Saint Realm Third Stage.

With a wave of his hand, he first swallowed a Divine Brilliance Pill. Among the four Divine Brilliance Pills refined by Jing Yan, he had already used two, leaving only two.

Swallowing the Divine Brilliance Pill could enhance the strength of the divine soul, giving Jing Yan more confidence in breaking through to the Saint Realm Third Stage.

The stronger the divine soul, the easier the breakthrough, and the higher the chance of success.

During the process when Jing Yan was in secluded cultivation preparing to sprint to the Saint Realm Third Stage, Bai Xue did not go back to training but waited at a distance with the four puppets.

Bai Xue was nervous, and the four puppets were also very anxious. They all hoped that Jing Yan would succeed and smoothly advance to the Saint Realm Third Stage.

At this time, Jing Yan had already concentrated all his mind on breaking through the realm, pushing everything external out of his thoughts.

Unleashing the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, controlling his primordial energy, and releasing his divine soul, he closely monitored the movements in his Purple Mansion.

The Gathering Essence Array began to accelerate its operation, with waves of Spiritual Energy continuously pouring into Jing Yan’s body.

From a distance, Bai Xue and the others could see that Jing Yan was already covered by a layer of silver-white light halo. This was the shape taken when the Spiritual Energy was dense to the extreme. The center of this silver-white light halo was Jing Yan, and at this time, Jing Yan’s body seemed to produce a huge suction force, forming a silver-white vortex around.

Surging and seemingly endless Spiritual Energy poured into Jing Yan’s body.

The Purple Mansion in his abdomen trembled repeatedly, madly absorbing the Spiritual Energy and converting it into primordial energy.

As this transformation process deepened, the Purple Mansion gradually began to transform.

Jing Yan’s divine soul meticulously observed the Purple Mansion in his abdomen, completely grasping every tiny detail of its transformation.

”It’s time to absorb the Divine Crystals!” The Spiritual Energy generated by the Gathering Essence Array was no longer sufficient. At this point, he needed to absorb the Divine Crystals.

In his palm, several Divine Crystals were tightly grasped. With the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill in operation, the energy from the Divine Crystals and the Spiritual Energy from the Gathering Essence Array were simultaneously sucked into Jing Yan’s abdominal Purple Mansion.

Several days had passed.

The Divine Crystals in front of Jing Yan were becoming fewer and fewer, and the Spiritual Energy from the Gathering Essence Array also started to diminish. But the transformation of the Purple Mansion was still ongoing.

”Heavenly Repairing Pill, use it!” An instinctive action, he swallowed the Heavenly Repairing Pill.

Jing Yan’s sprint to the Saint Realm Third Stage consumed far more resources than ordinary martial artists.

Generally, martial artists of the Second Realm of Holy preparing to break through to the Saint Realm Third Stage would need a vast amount of resources, and Jing Yan’s consumption of resources was at least several times that of ordinary martial artists.

After more than ten days of starting the sprint, the Spiritual Energy generated by the Gathering Essence Array was nearly depleted.

The majority of the million top-grade Spirit Stones had turned to dust, while the few remaining ones were also dim, indicating that they contained very little Spiritual Energy.

And the nearly two hundred Divine Crystals were almost exhausted, with only about a dozen left in front of Jing Yan.

At this moment, Jing Yan had also reached the most critical point of his breakthrough.

The energy absorbed by the Purple Mansion was about sufficient.

”Break!” Jing Yan roared in his heart while swallowing the last Divine Brilliance Pill.

”Buzz!” The Purple Mansion trembled violently.

A rich purple light suddenly filled the space around Jing Yan. This purple light contained astonishing power, with the power of laws fluctuating within.

Bai Xue and the four puppets in the distance all widened their eyes in astonishment.

”Step back a bit!” Old Fourth flashed, speaking as he did so.

He also extended a hand, pulling Bai Xue back. He was mainly afraid of Bai Xue getting hurt. As for themselves, even if they were injured, they could quickly recover.

At this time, Jing Yan suddenly let out a loud shout.

”Boom!”

”Saint Realm Third Stage!”

The purple light surrounding Jing Yan’s body also swiftly poured into his body.

The transformation of the Purple Mansion succeeded, and Jing Yan advanced to the Saint Realm Third Stage!
