Chapter 49: Ironbone Beast, Thundercloud Leopard!

Half a day later...

Inside the cave, Meng Changqing sat cross-legged.

At this moment, he had adjusted his state to the peak.

He could now proceed with the breakthrough.

“Nine channels as bridges, nine apertures merging into one, innate perfection, straight to the dantian...” Meng Changqing silently recited the mantra for advancing to the Sea Cleaving Realm.

A breakthrough at such a high realm left no room for turning back.

It was either success or failure, with no possibility of returning unscathed.

“With my physique, I can withstand the power of the heaven and earth qi!” Meng Changqing no longer hesitated.

With a thought, the nine major channels instantly connected to the nine major apertures, formally integrating with each other.

It appeared to have the feeling of a formation, exuding an ancient and mysterious charm.

At the same time, Meng Changqing found that he could now introspect.

He could clearly see the condition inside his body—blood vessels, meridians, organs, and so on.

And at the dantian...

There appeared a vortex resembling chaos.

When the nine apertures merged into one, the hidden dantian within the flesh would be revealed.

“Next, to draw in the heaven and earth qi!” Meng Changqing took out the Little Broken Mirror Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

At the same time, he completely opened the nine major apertures!

Boom!

Outside the cave, a sudden gale arose.

That was the heaven and earth qi being drawn, rolling in.

Its richness was even enough to form a rain, nourishing all living beings.

The majestic heaven and earth qi surged into the dantian through the major apertures and major channels.

The medicinal power of the Little Broken Mirror Pill also transformed into blood and qi.

The two different forces finally converged in the vortex of the dantian.

Both forces directly collided and repelled each other.

They were incompatible.

But there seemed to be a mysterious force in the dantian that forcibly suppressed them.

Coupled with the reducing property of the Little Broken Mirror Pill, the two forces didn’t stalemate for long and soon began to merge.

“It’s started.” Sitting outside the cave, Kong Linxue saw the situation above and immediately understood that Meng Changqing had officially begun his breakthrough.

And this was the most critical moment.

Absolutely no interference could be tolerated.

Otherwise, all previous efforts would be wasted, or even result in severe injuries or death!

Roar!

However, at this moment, a roar of a beast came from a distance.

Although the distance was far, Kong Linxue could feel that the Demon Beast might have sensed the situation here.

But it was understandable.

After all, the fluctuations of the heaven and earth qi were too obvious.

Some Demon Beasts naturally had a sensitivity to qi.

“I hope I’m just overthinking it.” Kong Linxue frowned slightly.

But soon, her expression turned ugly.

Because she gradually felt vibrations under her feet, indicating that a huge Demon Beast was approaching.

And most importantly...

A palm strike, and the purple flames surged.

But what came towards her was a dazzling lightning.

Boom!

The two collided.

The lightning shattered, and the purple flames were forced back.

Thump, thump, thump!

Kong Linxue retreated several steps before stabilizing herself.

Her complexion was slightly pale, and a hint of blood appeared at the corner of her mouth.

After all, she was only at the seventh level of the Qi Awakening realm, unable to compare with these second-level peak Demon Beasts.

Roar!

The Ironbone Beast no longer waited.

It attacked along with the Thundercloud Leopard.

Because they sensed that the aura inside the cave was rapidly growing stronger!

If they didn’t resolve this quickly, something terrible would happen!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Countless spikes shot out from the Ironbone Beast’s body like a torrential rain.

“Imperial Fire Sun Incineration-Purple Flame Saint Shield!” Kong Linxue gritted her teeth.

The purple flames around her turned into a huge shield, blocking in front of her.

Boom, boom, boom!

The shield kept retreating from the impacts, and Kong Linxue felt as if she had been struck heavily, with crimson blood overflowing from her mouth.

Crack!

The lightning burst forth!

The shield finally couldn’t hold on and shattered instantly, directly striking Kong Linxue’s chest.

But a radiant light flashed at her chest, blocking the blow.

At this moment, Kong Linxue had already retreated to the edge of the cave.

Her breath became extremely chaotic.

She was just a weak and helpless alchemist. It was already quite difficult for her to withstand so many attacks.

“I will never allow... you... to disturb Junior Brother Meng!” Kong Linxue wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Straightening her body.

But her eyes were filled with determination!

Roar!

The Thundercloud Leopard roared and charged forward.

The lightning surged in its mouth, far stronger than before, obviously using its full strength!

“It’s over.” Kong Linxue’s pupils shrank slightly.

She knew that even if she could withstand this blow, she would fall into a coma afterward.

“Junior Brother Meng, I did my best!” Kong Linxue gritted her teeth.

But she took the initiative to meet the attack with the Purple Flame Saint Shield!

Boom!

However, at the moment of collision, the imagined pain did not occur.

Or rather, it didn’t even touch her.

Kong Linxue looked forward suddenly.

Only to see a figure appearing in front of her, seemingly out of nowhere.

Black hair dancing lightly, white clothes like frost.

“Thank you, Senior Sister Kong, leave the rest to me.” The figure tilted slightly, revealing a gentle smile.
