Chapter 882: Breakthrough! Breakthrough!
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The spirit fruit in Yang Ling's hands was purplish black in color with a faint light emitting from it, and it gave off a fragrant scent.
The scent entered Duan Ling Tian's nose and made its way into his body, causing a stir in the Origin Energy in every part of his meridian.
It was to the point that even the medicinal efficacy of the Rebirth Pill also began to rustle as if it had formed some kind of resonance, yet it was not entirely rejection.
Although the overbearing medicinal efficacy of the Rebirth Pill repelled the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy [1] that was abundant in this world and was stored in the Origin Energy,, it would not repel the medicinal efficacy of a spirit fruit.
Despite the fact that the Rebirth Bill was not a spirit fruit, it still shared the same functions with a spirit fruit. In a way, they could be considered as a family.
Since they were of one family, how could they possibly reject one another?
"Origin Enhancing Fruit!"
Duan Ling Tian who had regained his consciousness took a deep breath. He could not hide the look of joy and surprise on his face.
The Origin Enhancing Fruit was an exclusive spirit fruit for a Void Interpretation martial artist. Among all of the spirit fruits exclusively used by a Void Interpretation martial artist, the medicinal efficacy of this fruit was above average. Moreover, it was extremely rare.
Through the memory of the Rebirth Martial Emperor, Duan Ling Tian immediately understood the breakdown and details of the Origin Enhancing Fruit.
"Even if a martial artist who has just broken through the Fifth Level Void Interpretation takes this Origin Enhancing Fruit, he would be able to make another breakthrough to the Sixth Level Void Interpretation in just a short amount of time as long as he can completely absorb the medicinal value!"
Duan Ling Tian's eyes instantly shone with delight. He was absolutely delighted, "I'm just one step away from the Sixth Level Void Interpretation! The Origin Enhancing Fruit's efficacy will definitely help me to breakthrough easily! Perhaps, coupled with the efficacy of the overbearing Rebirth Pill, my body might reach the bottleneck of the Seventh Level Void Interpretation!"
It was not like Duan Ling Tian had never thought of taking on two levels at once — from the Fifth Level Void Interpretation's peak to the Seventh Level Void Interpretation — but it was just that he had always thought that it was too good to be true.
After all, the gap, or phase, between the Sixth Level Void Interpretation and the Seventh Level Void Interpretation was just too huge. It was as if there was a chasm in between them.
Even if a martial artist who had just made a breakthrough to the Sixth Level Void Interpretation took the Origin Enhancing Fruit and managed to fully digest the medicinal power, it would still be impossible for him to reach the Seventh Level Void Interpretation with just a snap of the fingers. At the most, he could probably reach the peak of the Sixth Level Void Interpretation.
Otherwise, why else would it be called a 'phase'?
Due to this reason, Duan Ling Tian did not think that he would be able to immediately make a breakthrough to the Seventh Level Void Interpretation after consuming the Origin Enhancing Fruit even with the help of the domineering medicinal power of the Rebirth Pill.
That was because it was pretty much impossible!
"Perhaps the God really blesses our Wood Peak… Previously, when the Peak Master went out to run an errand, he came across the Origin Enhancing Fruit. Two pieces on top of that too!"
Yang Ling smiled, "At first, he planned to give these to Chen Wei and Luo Chen. However, he decided to change his mind when you and Daniu appeared."
"Two pieces?" Duan Ling Tian was completely taken aback when he heard this.
The fact was if a person could even come across a single high-grade spirit fruit like this Origin Enhancing Fruit once in his entire life, he would be considered as extremely lucky. Who would have ever thought the Peak Master of Wood Peak would be able to get his hands on two at the same time.
What kind of God-blessed luck was that!
Although the Rebirth Martial Emperor reincarnated twice, he only managed to encounter one Origin Enhancing Fruit in his first life. Even then, it was during a large-scale auction fair.
One could easily imagine just how hard it was to get one's hands on the Origin Enhancing Fruit.
"Make sure you cultivate properly! We, from Wood Peak, have placed our hopes in you and Daniu for the Battle of the Five Peaks." Yang Ling advised solemnly after he had passed the Origin Enhancing Fruit to Duan Ling Tian.
"Please be rest assured, Elder Yang. I'll definitely spare no effort!" Duan Ling Tian promised him as he stared excitedly at the spirit fruit in his hands.
"Alright. I've to go and look for Daniu now. Go continue your cultivation."
Yang Ling nodded his head and proceeded to leave the top floor of this three-story pavilion before making his way to the lowest floor to find Huang Daniu.
After Yang Ling left, Duan Ling Tian did not waste his time. He immediately shut the door and sat back on his bed cross-legged.
"Now that I have the Origin Enhancing Fruit, I'll be able to break through to the Sixth Level Void Interpretation in just a short period of time. At that time, I'll be able to verify the situation of my Spiritual Energy in details."
Duan Ling Tian suppressed the excitement in his heart as he opened his mouth wide and ate the entire Origin Enhancing Fruit in just a few mouthfuls.
In an instant, a gush of cold and hot liquid that was interwove flowed down his throat all the way into his body as it melted into meridians of all sizes throughout his body.
The Origin Energy in Duan Ling Tian instantly became aware of what was happening as turmoil started to rise up. After it came across the supercilious medicinal power of the Rebirth Pill, it proceeded to embrace this cold-hot interweaving liquid.
Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham!
…
In every corner of Duan Ling Tian's meridians, the Origin Energy and the medicinal power of the Rebirth Pill finally began to clash with the Origin Enhancing Fruit's medicinal power.
The moment it clashed with each other, the two of them started to merge together.
At the same time, under the activation of the dual medicinal powers of the Rebirth Pill and the Origin Enhancing fruit, it was like the Origin Energy had transformed into a run-away wild horse as it dashed around madly in every part of Duan Ling Tian's meridians.
"Barf!"
Before Duan Ling Tian could even figure out what was going on, the meridians in his body were smashed to the point that he felt like they were going to be split open. His internal organs were also subjected to certain injuries as blood gushed out and forced him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, Sword Dragon Form!
Without any hesitation, Duan Ling Tian hurriedly began to activate his mental cultivation. He gradually controlled and forced the Origin Energy in his body, that was running amuck like a wild horse, to go back on the right track.
Finally, when all of his Origin Energy was operating on the right track, he had already lost track of time.
It seemed to him like just a moment had passed by. However, at the same time, it felt like an entire day had gone by too.
Whoosh!
The tyrannical medicinal force urged the Origin Energy to sweep across like waves after waves of a raging tsunami as it charged towards the bottleneck of the Sixth Level Void Interpretation in a threatening manner.
Wham!
A light sound reverberated from inside Duan Ling Tian's body. That turned out to be the vast Origin Energy breaking through the bottleneck of the Sixth Level Void Interpretation. It was as easy as pushing off a rotten stump as it continued to sweep across again and again.
At that moment, all Duan Ling Tian could feel was the changes of the Origin Energy in his body. It made him feel as if he had been reborn.
"Sixth Level Void Interpretation!"
Duan Ling Tian knew that he had finally made a breakthrough. He had successfully broken through to the Sixth Level Void Interpretation. The elevation of his cultivation base granted him a tremendous power that he had never possessed before.
"Spiritual Energy!"
Duan Ling Tian immediately focused his attention on his Spiritual Energy once he knew he had broken through.
He guided the Origin Energy to operate in accordance with the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique and the Sword Dragon Form's mental cultivation method at the same time. He monitored his Spiritual Energy to see if it had improved or not.
Soon after, Duan Ling Tian finally managed to examine his Spiritual Energy,
Apart from that, he could clearly feel the transformation in his Spiritual Energy at this moment. Similar to his Origin Energy, it had completely undergone a complete transformation, and it had been elevated to a whole new level.
"Spiritual Energy… Seventh Level Void Interpretation!"
Duan Ling Tian was on cloud nine when he sensed the level of his Spiritual Energy's transformation.
At this moment, he felt like he had the entire world in his hands!
Excitement and satisfaction emanated from his entire soul and quickly spread throughout his entire body.
It was a breakthrough!
'I finally made a breakthrough!'
The after-effects by the Devilseal Table last time could only forcibly compressed his cultivation base and Spiritual Energy's gap of two levels to become one level.
His cultivation base was now at the Sixth Level Void Interpretation.
His Spiritual Energy was a level higher at the Seventh Level Void Interpretation.
Duan Ling Tian was overjoyed, he was extremely overjoyed!
With this feeling of recovering what one had previously lost, all he wanted to do right now was to shout "YES!" at the top of his lungs!
Under the activation of the Rebirth Pill and the Origin Enhancing Fruit, the Origin Energy in Duan Ling Tian's body continued to upheave and operate in accordance to the mental cultivation method of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique's Seventh Form — The Sword Dragon Form.
His cultivation base continued to climb higher and higher.
At the lowest story of the three-story pavilion where Duan Ling Tian was located, Huang Daniu who was also sitting cross-legged in the room cultivating suddenly opened his eyes.
"It's a breakthrough!"
"The Sixth Level Void Interpretation!"
Ecstasy could be seen on Huang Daniu's face. He clenched his fists as his Origin Energy instantly wreaked havoc, and the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon above the void on his head started to condense
Eighty silhouettes of ancient horned dragons began to emerge. They appeared to be very vivid and lively.
"There's still half of the medicinal power left… If I can make a breakthrough to the Seventh Level Void Interpretation in one try, I won't be afraid if I come across that Hu Fei, even if he uses his Spirit Weapon and the battle takes place in the sky!"
"At that time, I'll be able to avenge Elder Yang."
Huang Daniu took a deep breath as he shut his eyes again and continue to cultivate. He rapidly digested the medicinal power of the Origin Enhancing Fruit that helped operate the Origin Energy in his body.
Gold Peak.
This was the strongest Peak in the Five Element Sect. It was also the main peak that was personally controlled by the Sect Master of the Five Element Sect. Ever since the Five Element Sect was formed, the Gold Peak had always been the absolute overlord of the five Peaks in the Five Element Sect.
Of course, the reason why Gold Peak was so strong was not just because of the countless powerhouses that were there but also because of the presence of the Sect Master of the Five Element Sect.
The main reason lay with the legacy of the younger generation in Gold Peak, they were the best out of all the Peaks in Five Element Sect.
A broad platform halfway up the mountain of Gold Peak was swarmed with a crowd of people.
Many Gold Peak disciples were battling each other, and they fought vigorously like raging fire. The entire place was bustling with activity.
This was the Battle Platform of Gold Peak.
As long as one was a disciple of Gold Peak, one could always come here to improve oneself during one's cultivation.
Two figures suddenly showed up in the distance. Like two streaks of lightning, they immediately appeared in the sky above the vast platform as they hovered in the air standing on nothing.
They were two young men who appeared to be in their thirties. They both had handsome looks and graceful bearings.
What was most eye-catching was these two had an appearance that looked identical to each other!
If it was not for the attire and the differences on their clothes, nobody would be able to tell them apart at the first glace.
A blue-clad young man hovered there expressionlessly, and his gaze was cold and indifferent.
Another man who was clad in red also hovered there. He was smiling as he watched the buzzing activities on the vast platform with great interest, "Younger brother, will you look at that? Our martial skills are as intense as always! This is something that the four other Peaks will never catch up to!"
"Hurmph!"
Unlike the cheerful and spirited red-clad young man, the blue-clad young man showed no changes in his expression as he snorted indifferently. It was as if he was trying to tell the other man, 'I'm more like your big brother okay?!'
Looking at the demeanor of the blue-clad young man, the red-clad young man could guess his thoughts but he did not give a damn about it at all. Or it could be said that he had long grown accustomed to it.
Ever since they were old enough, they never really cared much about who the real elder brother was.
He refused to accept him as an elder brother. At the same time, he did not accept him as an elder brother as well.
In their hearts, both of them assumed they were the true elder brother instead.
