The sharp sword beam was like a hot knife through butter. It tore through everything in its path, ignoring gravity and illusions.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Hao had once again broken through the Spirit Refinement Mountain's barrier, and once again faced the "misconception" from before.
The last test, spatial restriction!
There was nothing but a flight of stairs in front of him. It was terrifyingly monotonous.
This time, Wang Hao was prepared, the all-pervasive sharp sword intent, following the flow of the deep blue sword beams, continuously attacked the space in front of him, attempting to pierce through the spatial restriction and reveal the real Spirit Refinement Mountain.
However, the spatial restriction was extraordinary. Ordinary Primordial Spirit Realm s would at least have the chance to come into contact with it after obtaining the Nihility God Realm.
Although Wang Hao had opened his nine senses, and possessed many divine arts, the spirit energy in his body was extremely dense, comparable to an ordinary expert at the peak of Refinement Realm.
However, spirit energy that was merely at the level of Nihility God Realm was not enough to break the spatial restriction.
"This is tricky. Even if I were to advance to the second level, I still might not be able to succeed." Seeing the space in front of him being ravaged by the sword beam without any change, Wang Hao felt quite helpless in his heart.
It didn't seem possible to use force to break it.
"Idiot!"
Suddenly, a voice that Wang Hao had not heard for a long time sounded out in his mind.
Wang Hao immediately became alert and asked in his mind: "Brother Long, you must have a way, quickly give me some pointers."
The dragon soul did not waste time speaking, and said crisply: "The restriction array belongs to the Dao of formations, and requires energy to maintain. You must absorb all the spirit energy in this space, so this unranked spatial restriction, will naturally break by itself."
Ye Zichen's words woke the man from his dreams.
"Thank you!" Wang Hao was overjoyed and grateful, following that, the sword beam disappeared, and lingered around his body as a sword armor to protect him.
At the same time, Wang Hao extended both of his hands out, pushed on the edges, and began to absorb the spirit force contained in the space.
In just a breath of time, the aura on Wang Hao's body had clearly grown. After three breaths, as the spirit energy unceasingly surged into his body, even for Wang Hao who was in the state of two extremes returning to his origin, the spirit energy in his body was also saturated. At this rate, if he continued absorbing, within two breaths of time, his meridians would explode.
"Damn it, even after absorbing so much Spiritual Energy, there's still no movement." Wang Hao cursed in his heart.
To be able to support and explode his two extremes of spirit energy returning to the origin realm, he had to be at least at the peak of Refinement Realm. Since Spirit Refinement Mountain had the same cultivation level as him, then the spirit energy needed for these formations should not be higher than his own cultivation level.
"Be patient, the restrictions are about to collapse." Seemingly sensing Wang Hao's anxiety, the Dragon Soul spoke again to remind him.
"Alright, I'll throw caution to the wind."
Hearing this, Wang Hao's heart hardened, and he no longer held back. He abruptly raised the Nine Heavens Qigong to the second realm, which was also the highest realm that Wang Hao could currently reach.
Taiji Sect!
Weng
Following the increase of Wang Hao's Divine Arts, the three battle markings on his face immediately exploded with a blinding light. Right after, the battle markings evolved, and the middle part of the battle markings entered into the two battle markings that pierced his eyes.
At this moment, the spirit energy swirl around Wang Hao was like a torrential storm, engulfing everything around him, causing the air to vibrate and the spirit energy to churn.
The dark blue sword armor looked more and more sharp, and the range of its protection expanded.
"Hiss!"
When they saw this scene, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Their eyes were filled with a deep blue light. The shock in their hearts was indescribable.
Wang Hao's body was releasing Spirit Qi, to them, was like the ocean, unfathomable.
Especially Gu Han. As he stood in midair, he astonishingly discovered that Wang Hao's spirit energy fluctuations had already far surpassed his own. Even if he used a secret technique, he would still not be able to reach this step.
A person with early stage of Soul Formation could actually explode with such spirit energy, what did this mean?
Gu Han's own cultivation technique was already at the top, so the difference in cultivation technique cultivation technique was not that obvious. The only explanation, was that Wang Hao's talent was much higher than his, and much higher as well.
He was born with seven orifices, and was a Heaven's Pride. In the ice boundary, he would be considered a demon.
In such a comparison, Wang Hao was at least born with eight orifices. He was an exceptional heaven's pride level expert and even in the Divine Martial Academy, he was still a monstrous existence.
Once he thought about it, the unreconciled Gu Han was immediately filled with regret and desire to retreat.
He had to admit that the strength that Wang Hao had displayed was not something he could contend against.
And just now, he more or less had the intention to provoke Wang Hao. If Wang Hao bore a grudge, his end today would not be as simple as losing face.
The space in front of Wang Hao's eyes, along with Wang Hao's full strength of his firepower, was frantically being pushed at the edges as spirit energy continuously gathered in his hands. The space was finally shaking, and there were signs of collapse.
Glimmers danced in Wang Hao's eyes as their edges met each other repeatedly.
Ka-cha! *
Finally, with a shattering sound, the space in front of Wang Hao started to collapse, and like glass, it shattered, revealing the true appearance of the peak of Spirit Refinement Mountain.
In that instant, all the restrictions on Spirit Refinement Mountain stopped. Wang Hao's suspended right foot easily stepped onto the thirty-third step.
"33 steps, I've reached the top!" Everyone's heart trembled, they looked at Wang Hao in shock, and were unable to look away.
Swish!
A flowing light flashed, and Wang Hao grabbed onto the Pass voucher.
Immediately after, Wang Hao kept his Nine Heavens Qigong, the battle markings on his face disappeared, the sword armor around his body dissipated and the cyclone calmed down.
"Hmm?"
As he withdrew his spirit energy, Wang Hao could feel that the blood in his body was still frantically surging, like the roaring of the ocean, especially his Gold Bell Nascent Soul.
Wang Hao was immediately overjoyed.
The Golden Bell Cover was about to break through.
Weng! *
Not long later, a gold light appeared from Wang Hao's body, transforming into a golden bell, enveloping his entire body.
Everyone looked up. Wang Hao's figure was like an emperor, causing them to feel a sense of worship.
Then, they saw the golden bell on Wang Hao's body disappear into his body, but right after, a berserk aura erupted from Wang Hao's body, causing his blood and energy to surge as spirit energy lingered around him.
"Is this the Golden Bell Cover of the Twelve stages?" Wang Hao muttered as he felt the changes in his body.
In the Chinese martial arts world, the so-called invincible 12 stages had finally been mastered.
Following the breakthrough of the Golden Bell Cover, Wang Hao's Body Level and cultivation had also made a corresponding breakthrough.
"His metal-attribute cultivation technique seems to have made a breakthrough, and his Body Level has probably reached the half-step Spirit Channeling stage." The sharp-eyed people whispered.
"This mysterious Young Master Wang, is even stronger. With him present this time, the rest of the Divine Martial Realm, including even Gu Han, will lose their luster!" Some people were extremely moved.
"I'm afraid that won't be the only case. When we reach the Academy, the Three Earth Martial Meet, Young Master Wang might be able to suppress Zhen Wudijie's Monster and help him to win some glory once."
"Even though we are unwilling, Zhen Wudijie's evildoer is indeed one or two levels higher than our ice boundary."
"Is Young Master Wang not two levels higher than Gu Han?"
"This …"
Swish!
Just as the audience was discussing amongst themselves, Wang Hao's figure flew straight down.
"What are you two blanking out for? Why aren't you climbing the stairs?" Wang Hao yelled towards Li Dan and the forest array, and then glanced at Gu Han who was in mid air, and coldly said without a trace of politeness: "Gu Han, pass a message to everyone in the Divine Martial Realm for me."
Gu Han was startled, but immediately anger surged from his heart, within the Deity Realm, no one was able to converse with him in such a tone.
But when he thought about Wang Hao's power, Gu Han immediately suppressed the anger in his heart, and pretended to be indifferent as he cupped his hands and smiled: "Young Master Wang is so capable, I admit defeat."
Wang Hao did not respond to Gu Han's praise, and continued speaking: "I am a lower profile man, but that does not mean that I am afraid of trouble. If anyone dares to provoke me again, I guarantee that it will result in his death in both body and soul."
Wang Hao's tone was calm, but hearing from everyone's ears, they all felt a chill run down their spine.
Thinking about the rumors from before, they understood that Wang Hao was sick of it and did not want to be disturbed or provoked again.
Gu Han's eyes slightly narrowed, and lightly smiled: "Okay, I believe from this moment onwards, no one within the Divine Martial Realm will dare to offend you, Young Master Wang."
"Mm, hand over your storage ring and you can leave." Wang Hao waved his hand and said.
