Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 1062 Realm Breakthrough
The Undying Body advanced very quickly this time, completing its transformation in a short period of time.

Having had this experience before, Zhang Haoran quickly gained control of the increased qi and blood in his body. He looked at the Void Gate with a somewhat complicated expression.

This is indeed a good thing. As long as it can absorb enough energy, it can launch attacks continuously, like a perpetual motion machine. Moreover, the attacks contain various laws, which is of great benefit to cultivating the Undying Body.

However, he is now facing a very awkward problem: the attack power of the Void Gate is somewhat insufficient.

If you want the Void Gate to unleash even greater attack power, you need to let it absorb more energy. However, in the process, the Void Gate will become more solid. If you can't break it in the end, you'll make a fool of yourself.

It's important to know that after the Undying Body is upgraded, there is a 20% damage reduction, plus the physical enhancement and greatly increased defense. Without 40 million health points, it is impossible to break through the defense. To cause substantial damage, it would take at least 60 million.

The strongest attack power Zhang Haoran can unleash right now is about this level. If the Void Gate becomes too strong, he might not be able to break it.

His cultivation had been suppressed for too long, and he didn't want to drag it out any longer.

"Forget it, I just upgraded my Undying Body, let's stabilize it first!"

Moreover, not much true blood was consumed this time; there are still about 600 drops left, which should be enough for the next advancement.

Furthermore, the feeling of his cultivation being constantly suppressed also made him very unhappy.

"Let's break through the void gate and advance to a higher realm first!"

Once he made up his mind, he immediately took action.

"Buzz!"

Zhang Haoran's body trembled, and invisible ripples spread outwards.

He finally opened his sword domain, and this time he was going all out to break through the void gate as soon as possible. He could also use this time to counterattack and consolidate his indestructible body.

"Zheng!"

A dazzling sword beam pierced through the heavens and earth, slashing towards the void gate with unparalleled momentum. The space it passed through was cleaved with a black mark, like a curtain that had just been drawn back.

This was his strongest attack, and although it hadn't yet struck, the sharp aura emanating from the sword light had already left sword marks on the void gate.

There was a loud bang!
The enormous sword light slammed fiercely into the void gate.

However, this time there was no explosion. With a crisp crack, the void gate was completely pierced through, and the sword light disappeared behind the gate.

Through the huge sword mark, one can see the dark space behind the door.

Zhang Haoran remained expressionless, showing no surprise whatsoever.

He had only unleashed 80% of his strength before, yet he was still able to cause immense damage to the Void Gate; otherwise, the blood arrows wouldn't have appeared.

Now, with his full power unleashed and the added enhancement of his sword domain, the power of this sword strike has increased by almost half, so it's not surprising that it can pierce through the void gate.

"Whoosh!"

A jet of blood retaliated, striking him squarely in the chest.

To his disappointment, the blood arrow only pierced a hole the size of an egg, and because of his improved physique and stronger resistance to abnormal states, the shockwave did not cause him to fall into a state of paralysis again.

Zhang Haoran looked at Xu Men with disappointment and said, "Too weak! It seems you really have no reason to exist."

"boom!"

A powerful sword intent soared into the sky!

Zhang Haoran began to unleash his full power, constantly wielding the Blood Shadow Sword, with sword energy crisscrossing the heavens and earth. He deliberately avoided the Void Gate's counterattack routes, hoping to withstand more attacks now so that his Undying Body state could be more stable, laying a good foundation for his next advancement.

Although he no longer intended to hold back, he still wanted to squeeze every last drop of value out of the Void Gate.

Boom boom boom!
Explosions rang out continuously.

More and more sword marks appeared on the virtual gate, and Zhang Haoran was also repeatedly coughing up blood from the fierce counterattacks.

However, as time went on, the Void Gate's counterattacks became weaker and weaker, and its defensive capabilities continued to decline.

With a crisp crack, a fragment the size of a tabletop fell from the intersection of several sword marks, shattering into starlight as soon as it left the void.

Through the hole left behind, one can see the mysterious and deep space behind the door.

The energy replenishment of the Void Gate could no longer keep up with the consumption, and its strength dropped drastically, bringing it to the brink of collapse.

Such severe damage has already breached the very foundation of the Void Sect, rendering its counterattacks ineffective.

Now that the Undying Body is stable, let's just go all out in this battle! We can also hone our combat skills.

"Zheng!"

A sword beam flashed, cleaving the incoming blood arrow in two.

He no longer dodged the attack from the empty gate, and his sword strikes became even faster.

Zhang Haoran used all the sword techniques he knew, including the Decapitation Sword Technique, the Nine Swords of Dugu, the Heavenly Wound Sword, the Longevity Sword Technique, and even moves like the Horizontal Sweep.

Among these sword techniques, except for the Longevity Sword Technique, all need to be re-examined. Having reached the Heaven and Earth Supreme Sword realm and having 100% control over blood and qi, these sword techniques can unleash even greater power, but they also require constant practice.

Zhang Haoran did this for another purpose: to improve his control over his Qi and blood as much as possible, so that when he broke through later, his control would drop too much due to the significant increase in Qi and blood.

He now regrets advancing his Undying Body too early. This increased his base blood and qi, which would have led to a greater increase in his potential. It was indeed a risky move, but he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

As he continued his attacks, the area of ​​the void gate that was destroyed grew larger and larger, with fragments constantly falling and exploding into starlight.

Moreover, the void gate has become more fragile; now, a single, casual sword strike can pierce through it.

With a crisp crack, the dilapidated void gate was cleaved in two by a massive sword beam.

Rumble!
Rumble…

Huge fragments broke off and scattered into starlight, making the broken illusory gate appear ethereal.

With a deafening roar, the entire void gate shattered into a shower of starlight.

"it is finally over!"

Looking at the scattered starlight, Zhang Haoran felt a pang of emotion. This illusory gate had brought him considerable help, but it was the last one.

The next time we face the true gate will be the time to prove our path.

The next moment, he lost all interest in reflection.

An extremely large amount of energy suddenly appeared in his body. This was the reward for breaking through the void gate. The energy that had been sealed behind the gate was now being returned to him.

This energy is extremely pure and can integrate with the body without any conversion. Muscles, bones, and internal organs all absorb this energy and are greatly strengthened, giving rise to a powerful feeling. And that's not all!
After this energy surged into my body, it was as if some kind of shackles had been unlocked.

The original path, which was progressing steadily, began to extend outward rapidly, as if it had taken a powerful tonic, with each breath extending it by hundreds of meters.

Sensing this special energy, Zhang Haoran laughed excitedly.

"Haha! I've finally broken through!"

He had just started laughing when his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Oh no! My blood and qi are increasing too rapidly; I'm starting to lose control!"

He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to fully circulate his internal energy.

At this moment, the blood and qi in his body began to boil again.

When the Undying Body underwent its transformation just now, it only increased its basic Qi and blood, but this time it's different.

Now, not only is his basic Qi and Blood increasing, but also his amplified Qi and Blood. His Qi and Blood are boiling, increasing by thousands of calories every second, almost to the point of being out of his control.

The previously suppressed amplification of the source energy has now returned in full, and is being converted into basic qi and blood at an incredibly rapid pace.

Zhang Haoran's blood and qi were increasing at a visible speed. At this moment, he felt like he was being force-fed, with food being stuffed into his mouth regardless of whether he would burst.

Click, click, click!
The powerful, indestructible body was stretched and cracked by the rapidly increasing blood and qi.

"boom!"

Because the blood and qi in his body were boiling too violently, a raging blood flame broke out on his body, the surrounding temperature rose sharply, the air was instantly ignited, and the area within a radius of several thousand meters was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire. The ground where he was sitting was burned into rolling lava.

"withstand!"

Zhang Haoran roared inwardly, channeling his energy into his cultivation technique, trying his best to control the increase in qi and blood with each calorie.

However, all the previous accumulation exploded at this moment. His basic blood energy broke through 2000 million calories in just a few breaths, and his total blood energy broke through the 4000 million bottleneck in an instant, increasing at a rocket speed.

Despite his best efforts, his control over his body gradually decreased as his blood and qi surged.

Fortunately, I had made preparations in advance, and my foundation was very solid, so the decline was not obvious. Moreover, as the technique was activated, the surge of qi and blood was brought under control, and my ability to control it continued to increase.

However, this was just the beginning. He could feel that after breaking through the void gate, the laws of heaven and earth had completely released him from their constraints. Before the next limit arrived, his blood and qi would no longer be restricted in any way.

After a martial artist reaches the eighth level, which is the strongest level, they begin to absorb the Dao into their body. When they reach the peak of the eighth level, they have basically completed half of the absorption of the Dao into their body. The increase in their source energy is much less than when they reached the seventh level, about three times less.

However, the basic Qi and blood are constantly increasing, generally around 14 million calories.

Of course, this is not a fixed number. Some people are stronger. For example, Zhen Tianwang has completed more of the Dao into his body and has a higher base Qi and blood, which is around 1600 million.

Zhang Haoran cultivated the Undying Body and reached the second level, accumulating even more abundant energy. His original basic blood energy was 18 million, and it reached 20 million at the moment of breakthrough.

The standard for an emperor is 80 million Qi and Blood. They have already completed the absorption of the Dao into their bodies, and their original source has been doubled, which means their basic Qi and Blood is 40 million.

Zhang Haoran has already reached halfway, and is still increasing.

The original Dao is rapidly extending outwards, while the increase in the original Dao is constantly decreasing, transforming into more basic Qi and blood.

After breaking through the bottleneck, his mental strength also began to expand rapidly, increasing at a visible speed.

It is said that great things come from small beginnings, but having too much accumulated knowledge is not necessarily a good thing.

Zhang Haoran is now focusing all his attention on controlling his Qi and blood.

If his martial arts level hadn't been high enough, he might not have been able to suppress the surge in his blood and qi. If it had gone out of control, it would have brought disastrous consequences.

The several clones within the Origin World were also busy at this moment. They were spreading more Origin Soil on the newly opened road while tempering their swordsmanship with sharp energy.

We are currently in a breakthrough phase, with all restrictions lifted. At this point, we can improve as much as we can without any limitations.

"Hurry up! Everyone hurry up!"

At this critical moment, the more human-like second clone stepped forward to take charge. Having served as a sword spirit for a period of time, he had a better understanding of swordsmanship and greater control over it.

He shouted excitedly, "Number One! You are in charge of the newly opened Origin Path. You must not leave any flaws."

Number Three! You'll cooperate with me to refine your swordsmanship. We must seize this opportunity to help the main body complete the assimilation of the Dao into its body as soon as possible.

Countless sharp and primal energies surged into the core sword path, causing the sword path, which possessed both the properties of the Great Dao and a magical artifact, to gleam with a dazzling silver light.

Although the primordial path is expanding rapidly, the increase in primordial energy is constantly decreasing, and it is being transformed into more basic qi and blood.

Unlike the third clone, who only knew how to obey orders, the first clone was more composed and said with some concern, "The main body is currently experiencing a surge of accumulated strength, and its basic qi and blood have already increased rapidly. If we accelerate the process of absorbing the Dao into the body at this time, won't we be causing trouble? What if the main body can't control it?"

If Zhang Haoran still had the mind to pay attention to the Origin Space, he would definitely give Number One a thumbs up. He is indeed losing control now!

The ever-increasing Qi and blood were a severe test for him, far more dangerous than when he challenged the Void Gate.

He had exhausted all his energy to ensure that his control over his qi and blood did not diminish.

If the rate of increase in Qi and blood accelerates again, it could very well become the final straw that breaks the camel's back.

Number Two couldn't sense the danger to his main body at this moment, or perhaps he could sense it but wouldn't care. In his view, as long as he wouldn't die, it was fine. He said nonchalantly, "It's okay. With the Myriad Realms Tower as a backer, there shouldn't be any major problems with my main body."

Besides, our swordsmanship has already reached the initial stage of the Earth Sword Realm, and our previous comprehension of the Heavenly Emperor's archery skills has also improved considerably.

Even if you slip a bit, it'll only drop to the beginner level; there's no danger to your life, so don't worry!

If Zhang Haoran heard these words, he would definitely slap him.

Holy crap, do you know how difficult it is to improve your martial arts level?

It is said that spiritual power is easy to cultivate, but spiritual realm is difficult to advance!
He relied on his solid foundation and his enlightenment in the Myriad Realms Tower to cross the entry stage in one fell swoop. How could he be willing to fall back now?

However, at this moment, he was focused entirely on controlling his qi and blood, and he didn't hear the conversation between his clones at all.

Number Two, still looking excited, said, "My true form is currently breaking through to a higher realm, and I have no restrictions."

This is such a great opportunity, we absolutely can't miss it!
If one can complete the infusion of the Dao into the body in advance, then when one opens up the original Dao later, the increase will only be in basic Qi and blood. This is preparation for proving the Dao.

I'm helping the main body strengthen its foundation; he'll be very happy to know that!

If Zhang Haoran heard these words, he could only guarantee that he wouldn't burst into tears, after all, as a swordsman, he had that much willpower.

It's certainly a good thing to complete the Dao absorption into the body ahead of schedule, but he also has other ways to achieve it. If his martial arts realm were to slip, he would suffer a huge loss!
