Chapter 654: Double Breakthrough

Chaotic Calamity Light!

A brilliant light rose from behind Xiao Ming, so dazzling that it seemed to embody the very colors of chaos itself. Merely looking at it left one mesmerized.

Xiao Ming opened his eyes as the chaotic light rose. With a flick of his sleeve, the light shot directly towards the descending purple void.

Whoosh!

The Chaotic Calamity Light swept over, and an astonishing scene unfolded. The overwhelming and tyrannical purple light vanished in an instant, and the Myriad Spirit Floating World Body's tendency to dissipate abruptly ceased.

The Chaotic Calamity Light didn't stop there; instead, it continued sweeping upward towards the purple Lightning Eye overhead.

Rumble!

It was as if the ancient and commanding Lightning Eye had been provoked and enraged. It widened further, and in an instant, three lightning bolts as powerful as the previous purple void shot downward.

The three lightning bolts thundered, and countless black holes appeared around the surrounding void, as if the world itself was on the verge of collapse.

But it was all in vain. The lightning bolts lasted only a moment before they were swept away by the Chaotic Calamity Light.

Shortly after, the Lightning Eye itself was also swept away and disappeared.

Behind Xiao Ming, within the chaotic light, several purple voids and the ancient, imposing Lightning Eye had now appeared.

The chaotic light then merged back into Xiao Ming's body. Suddenly, a striking purple pupil opened between his brows, with faint traces of lightning flickering inside, seemingly containing the power of an apocalyptic lightning calamity.

'I never imagined my Divine Ability would be so powerful.' Xiao Ming slowly stood up. At this moment, his inner joy was indescribable.

After all, he had not expected that his awakened innate Divine Ability would be this strong.

The reason behind this lay in the origin of innate Divine Abilities.

Innate Divine Abilities were linked to the Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Body, which was a hallmark of the Heavenly Sovereign Stage. This body could transform into the purest form of Spiritual Energy at any moment, providing extraordinary combat power while seamlessly merging with the world around it. As a result, its internal Spiritual Energy was virtually inexhaustible.

However, this was only the initial form of the Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Body. To reach its full potential, the Spiritual Pulse hidden deep within one's body needed to be refined and completely fused with the body. Only then could the Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Body gradually reach perfection.

At this point, a Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability would be created, and that Divine Ability would be one's innate ability.

When the Spiritual Pulse appeared, it varied in form but was categorized based on quantity, ranging from one to nine. One and two pulses were considered of Human Grade, three and four were of Earth Grade, five and six were of Heaven Grade, while seven to nine were of Divine Grade.

The form of the Divine Ability was related to the cultivation method practiced, while its strength was linked to the number of Spiritual Pulses. Some Divine Abilities derived from Divine Grade Spiritual Pulses possessed such power that they were among the most formidable of all Divine Abilities, perhaps even rivaling the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities.

Since Xiao Ming was from the Dou Qi Continent, he had no idea if he even possessed a Spiritual Pulse. As a result, he had a rather indifferent attitude towards innate Divine Abilities.

But unexpectedly, it brought him a huge surprise this time, akin to hitting the jackpot.

He reached up to touch the Lightning Eye glowing with purple lightning between his brows.

His smile grew broader and broader. His awakened innate Divine Ability, the Chaotic Calamity Light, could obliterate all things and destroy powerful enemies while stripping them of their Divine Abilities and treasures for his own use.

At the top of the fog-shrouded mountain, a strange medicinal fragrance spread, creating a sense of tranquility and making one feel as if they were in a heavenly paradise.

On the mountaintop, vast stretches of medicinal herbs gathered like a sea. Xiao Ming was quite pleased as he looked down at his creation.

'If I have time, I'll capture some spiritual beasts to bring more life here.'

'Now it's time to return and find Qing Tan and Qing Yanjing.'

...

Market District.

In the secluded courtyard, which was secretly watched by countless forces, Qing Yanjing and Qing Tan sat in the living room, feeling a bit restless.

It wasn't because of the tigers, leopards, wolves, and jackals lurking outside, but rather because when they emerged from their seclusion, they were surprised to find that Xiao Ming was missing!

If Qing Yanjing hadn't known about Xiao Ming's extraordinary strength and that he wouldn't be harmed, she would have already dragged Qing Tan through the streets to look for him.

Nevertheless, without Xiao Ming around, both women still felt uneasy.

'Master must have gone to take the pill and restore his strength. I wonder how he's doing.' Qing Tan paced back and forth with a worried expression.

Qing Yanjing could not answer, as she had also been in seclusion.

After some time, the doors to the hall suddenly swung open, and a familiar figure stepped inside.

"Master!"

Upon seeing the familiar figure, Qing Tan immediately rushed to greet him with joy.

"Mm, you're at the 2nd Grade Sovereign Stage now? Not bad! But what's the rush?"

Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow slightly and gently patted Qing Tan's head as she approached.

"Hmph, Master, you still have to ask? Why didn't you leave us a note before heading out?" Qing Tan puffed her cheeks and said in a huff.

"I... was in a hurry and forgot. It won't happen next time." Xiao Ming understood the situation and, seeing Qing Tan's usually good-natured face look a bit upset, he gently ruffled her hair and promised.

Qing Tan let out a soft hum but remained silent afterward.

Then Xiao Ming turned to Qing Yanjing.

"Sorry for worrying you both."

"It's good that you know," Qing Yanjing replied with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

Xiao Ming could only smile before changing the subject.

"Have you made a breakthrough?"
