Chapter 2877 - 2876: Breakthrough!
Chapter 2877: Chapter 2876: Breakthrough!
In the dim and oppressive atmosphere, Tian Sha’s voice was like a cold blade, slicing through the frozen air around.
"Do you think Lin Dong will come back? I can only say, you’re overthinking it. If he were to return, with his character and speed, he would have appeared before us like a divine weapon by now. But even now, there is no sign of his return, which only shows he has made a choice and will not come back."
Tian Sha’s tone carried a hint of mockery and sarcasm towards the White-clothed Blood Monk, thinking he had trusted Lin Dong wrongly.
Each of his words was like a heavy hammer striking the heart of the White-clothed Blood Monk.
The White-clothed Blood Monk’s expression changed slightly, but quickly regained calm, with a flicker of complex light in his deep-set eyes.
He seemed not to completely believe Tian Sha’s words but chose silence instead of immediate retort, as if contemplating a more profound plan.
Seeing this, Tian Sha’s lips curled into a cold smile and he continued:
"Since you want to delay us, using the unique rules of this space to deplete our power, we will accommodate you. However, I would like to see, in this contest of endurance and wisdom, who will outlast whom in the end."
Tian Sha and Blood Fool exchanged a glance, understanding each other without words.
They did not rush to use the trump cards that could instantly turn the tide of battle, such as a forbidden technique enough to destroy miles around, but rather adopted a more cunning strategy.
They engaged the White-clothed Blood Monk in a tug-of-war with a series of moves that could maintain the offensive without excessively draining Blood Qi.
Tian Sha’s sword technique was agile and uncanny, each move like a falling star across the night sky, non-lethal yet forcing the White-clothed Blood Monk to divert his attention in response.
Blood Fool used his unique Blood Qi manipulation technique, transforming into invisible chains that occasionally wrapped and occasionally ambushed, forcing the White-clothed Blood Monk to constantly guard against Blood Fool’s raids while dealing with Tian Sha’s attacks.
This combat style, seemingly unremarkable, actually harbored deadly intents, silently consuming the White-clothed Blood Monk’s stamina and energy every minute and second.
Meanwhile, Tian Sha and Blood Fool, amidst this seemingly dull war of attrition, gradually closed in on their goal.
Waiting for the moment the White-clothed Blood Monk reveals a flaw, to deliver a fatal blow.
Meanwhile, deep underground far from the battlefield, Lin Dong was undergoing an unprecedented transformation.
Sitting cross-legged, he was enveloped in rings of faint blue light, a sign of the Water Origin surging within him.
Lin Dong kept his eyes tightly shut, focusing all his concentration on guiding this vast power, trying to merge it into his own bloodline, accomplishing a qualitative leap.
As he devoured the Water Origin one by one, Lin Dong’s body began to tremble slightly, as if some ancient power was awakening within him, colliding with his original cultivation level and sparking dazzling flames.
He could feel his power growing at an inexplicable speed, as if about to break through some boundary, stepping into a brand new realm.
However, this process was not easy, each attempt pushing him to the brink of agony, yet his will was like a rock, unwavering.
Time passed by second by second.
In the deep and dark underground world, Lin Dong seemed isolated from the world, with only the ancient Water Origin flowing slowly within him like brilliant stars, emitting a gentle and mysterious blue light.
This light not only illuminated his body but also lit up a beacon in his heart, guiding him towards an unprecedented transformation.
As the Water Origin gradually merged with his bloodline, Lin Dong felt an unprecedented power surging within him, pure and mighty, as if encompassing the depth and vastness of the entire ocean.
He closed his eyes, letting this power guide him on a journey of the soul.
In this illusory world constructed by the Water Origin, Lin Dong seemed to traverse through space-time, revisiting his life.
From the ignorance of childhood, to the passionate blood of youth, to the perseverance of the young man, each phase flashed through his mind like a movie.
But this time, he was no longer just an observer but examined his past from a more transcendent perspective, understanding the meaning behind each choice.
The Water Origin not only granted him power but also let him experience a rerun of his life’s journey during this spiritual travel.
He saw his struggles in storms, and his smile under the sunshine.
He felt the bitterness of failure and also tasted the joy of success.
Once again, he experienced the sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy flavors of life, its joys and sorrows...
That experience was like truly reliving life, unlike the vague and ethereal of a dream.
These experiences and perceptions, like precious gems, were embedded in the depths of his heart, causing his mental state to achieve unprecedented sublimation.
At this moment, Lin Dong seemed to stand at the end of time, overlooking the past and future.
He understood that true strength is not just accumulating power, but lies within the heart.
"Actually, devouring the Origin Power provides a journey of Xiuxin..."
"And for Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, each breakthrough at a bottleneck is a journey of Xiuxin. Without this Xiuxin journey brought by Origin Power, just relying on time would take a long time and need good opportunities to breakthrough."
"But Origin Power, it seems like it can open this hook. It doesn’t take too long and can take you on a journey of Xiuxin."
Lin Dong realized many things.
And in this journey of Xiuxin, Lin Dong also gained a lot.
He learned to let go, to be forgiving, to find hope in adversity, and to remain humble in prosperity...
When this power reached its peak, Lin Dong’s body jolted suddenly, an indescribable fluctuation emanating from within, instantly breaking through the Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven’s bottleneck, pushing him to a new realm—Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven.
This was not only a breakthrough in strength but also a leap in his mental state.
He felt an unprecedented lightness and freedom, as if the entire world unfolded under his feet, waiting for him to explore.
The breakthrough made Lin Dong’s gaze deeper, his demeanor more transcendental and exceptional.
"Finally, smoothly broke through to the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven!"
"Next, my ’Sword Two’ won’t just be usable once. I can use it five times!"
"Besides, I also possess the Law of Heaven and Earth!"
However, Lin Dong did not immediately activate his Law of Heaven and Earth.
After all, he was using the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique to hide underground.
Here, it was naturally inconvenient to summon the Law of Heaven and Earth.
He raised his eyes, penetrating the rocks and soil underground, seeing the battle on the surface.
The White-clothed Blood Monk, true to his word, had been stalling Tian Sha and Blood Fool for him!
"Next, it’s your time to die!" Lin Dong finished speaking, his figure flashed and headed towards the surface.
