Traveling across the globe for the first time

The Overlord Emperor actually used a secret technique to forcibly enhance his strength, and even used his trump card. The power unleashed by this punch was close to his peak, at least 90 million calories. Just looking at that golden fist gave Zhang Haoran a feeling of dread.

"Holy crap, has this old guy gone mad?! He really wants to beat me to death!"

Faced with such a deadly move, he dared not be careless. He continued to drain all the blood and energy from his body, or he might really be killed.

Even with full force, defense wouldn't work. This punch would at most severely injure him, similar to the previous effect, wasting the Emperor Ba Tian's painstaking efforts.

"Should we abandon some of the defenses? But it's not easy to judge the degree of that."

"never mind!"

Zhang Haoran gritted his teeth and said, "So what if I die! Anyway, I can be resurrected after I die. Maybe dying once will provide greater assistance to the Undying Body."

He once again drained all the vital energy from his body, completely abandoning his defenses, preparing to rely entirely on his physical constitution to withstand this attack.

However, he didn't dare to use this blood energy to attack the Overlord Emperor. The opponent was currently in a state of explosive power, with incredibly strong attacks, but his defense was about the same as his own. If he used this blood energy to launch an attack, it would definitely result in mutual destruction.

They were helping him break through, he can't be so heartless!
"Zheng!"

A golden sword beam flashed, slicing a black mark in the space.

However, this time the sword beam was a bit off-target. To be precise, it wasn't just a bit off-target, it was way off-target, it didn't even graz the edge of the Overlord Emperor.

Zhang Haoran thought to himself, "So what if I missed? Who says you can't miss when you break nine?"

As the sword light flashed past, the Overlord Emperor roared in fury, "Bastard, do you think I can't withstand this sword? Prepare to die!"

boom!
That domineering punch landed squarely on his chest. Zhang Haoran had already prepared himself to die once, thinking that he would inevitably be blasted into a bloody mist.

However, things didn't go as he imagined. The punch was indeed fierce, with a powerful energy penetrating his body, but it wasn't a one-time burst; rather, it came wave after wave, a continuous attack.

Boom boom boom,
Bloody holes kept exploding all over his body. Each explosion severely injured him, but he wouldn't actually die. His golden body was constantly on the verge of collapse, enduring the impact. Just when his body was mostly repaired, another explosion would occur...

Having fought for so long, the Overlord Emperor had long since figured out his recovery speed and timed his attacks with great precision.

Looking at the exhausted Overlord Emperor, Zhang Haoran's eyes were filled with gratitude; he had truly gone to great lengths.

He certainly wouldn't let the other party's good intentions go to waste.

He activated his cultivation technique with all his might, undergoing the final forging.

boom!
A dazzling light burst forth!

Zhang Haoran floated in the air, his body radiating a jade-like luster.

He used the power of that punch to complete his second forging.

Not only has his Qi and Blood strength increased, but his base Qi and Blood has also increased by one million. At this moment, his base Qi and Blood has reached 4700 million, and he is only 5000 million away from 300 million.

Once his base Qi and Blood reach 50 million, he can unleash 100 million units of Qi and Blood under the amplification of his origin, making him a sixth-tier powerhouse.

Without the suppression of realm, relying on the attack amplification brought by the sword soul, he can definitely fight against the God Emperor.

This time, the strength of Qi and Blood increased by 15%, and the amount of gold in it increased significantly.

Most miraculously, at the moment of transformation, the blood and qi that the Overlord Emperor had entered his body before it could explode were assimilated into the power of immortality.

Moreover, it played a crucial role. Under the pull of this force, the indestructible power within the heart surged out wildly, spreading to every cell of the body, and the indestructible body broke through to the third level.

boom!
A powerful surge of energy erupted, and a fierce shockwave swept outwards, creating layers of air currents.

Click!

Large cracks appeared in the space, and the arena could no longer withstand the continuous blows and began to collapse!

Having just unleashed his ultimate attack, the Overlord Emperor, still somewhat weakened, was pushed backward by the shockwave.

He didn't feel embarrassed at all; on the contrary, he was very gratified. His efforts had not been in vain and had helped him complete the second forging.

Looking up, Zhang Haoran's blood and energy surged, radiating a dark golden light. The golden light carried an aura of immortality and indestructibility. Illuminated by this golden light, the space stopped collapsing, and the cracks began to slowly heal.

The Overlord Emperor felt completely refreshed, and the backlash from using the forbidden technique was rapidly healing.

There was even a sense of real existence, as if he was no longer a projection, but had come to life.

The Overlord Emperor's eyes widened in shock. "What kind of technique is this?"
The golden light that leaked out during the breakthrough was enough to restore the collapsed space and give me the feeling of being alive again.

The Overlord Emperor now had an impulse to fly to Zhang Haoran's side immediately and soak up some of the golden light, which was definitely a very high-level energy.

However, he suppressed the impulse, not wanting to disturb the other person's breakthrough. Since these golden lights were leaked out during the breakthrough, there must be many more inside him. As long as he could maintain a good relationship, he wouldn't have to worry about not getting them in the future.

It's good enough that we can absorb some of the overflowing energy now; most of the backlash we suffered before has been recovered.

The Overlord Emperor originally intended to help the other party break through the barrier even if it meant the projection disappeared. Unexpectedly, he turned misfortune into blessing and gained unexpected benefits. Now, even if the seed wanted to eliminate him, it wouldn't be so easy.

The Overlord Emperor glanced at the black vortex in the sky. Fortunately, the seed was far away and it didn't gain any advantage.

At this moment, the golden light on Zhang Haoran's body became even more dazzling, and countless mysterious runes appeared, covering every inch of his skin.

Despite the Emperor Batian's extensive knowledge, he didn't recognize a single one of these runes.

Not to mention the Overlord Emperor, even the Seed who had been observing in the shadows was completely dumbfounded. He was the Heavenly Dao of this small world and was extremely familiar with all kinds of laws.

It could sense the aura of laws contained in these runes, but it could not distinguish which laws they were.

If you study them in depth, you will feel a sense of unease. These runes are extremely mysterious, as if they represent a higher world.

If the study of the seed continues, it may lose its self and revert to the true nature of Heaven.

Zhang Haoran now felt his blood and qi boiling, his physique constantly improving, and there was an unexpected surprise: without the injection of life force, the jade bone began its third forging, and at a very fast speed.

He knew this was a benefit of advancing to the Undying Body realm. The power of the Undying Body was strengthening his physique, and his bones were part of that, so he was also tempering them.

The power of immortality is several levels higher than life force. Although it was just a side tempering, the speed was still much faster than forging with full force. Zhang Haoran could feel that after being tempered by the power of immortality, the jade bones and golden body were more compatible, and the difficulty of forging in the future would be greatly reduced.

However, the jade bone is no longer a big deal for him. Given enough time, he will be able to complete the three forgings sooner or later.

Zhang Haoran was more concerned about how much benefit the breakthrough to the Undying Body would bring him.
He could feel his qi and blood becoming more condensed, and he had gained another two million calories, greatly improving his physique and defense.

Most importantly, the Undying Body has broken through to the third level, increasing its properties by 10%, and now it has 30% damage reduction.

If he were to take another hit from the Overlord Emperor, at most he would be punched in a hole, but his golden body would never collapse.

Moreover, he had a feeling that the third level was the current limit, and if he wanted to continue to improve, he would have to seek opportunities in a higher world. The resources of this world were no longer useful, and even true blood was not enough.

With Zhang Haoran's current strength, he can already sense that the upper limit of this world is the sixth rank.

You can be at the mid-stage of the sixth rank, or even the peak of the sixth rank, but your strength absolutely cannot reach the seventh rank, otherwise you will either be rejected or cause this world to collapse.

The world mentioned here refers to the high-level martial arts world, not the boundary point. The upper limit here is even lower; a battle between two people who have just entered the Emperor realm can destroy this place.

He forged his jade bones a second time, increasing his base blood energy by 100 million. When he broke through to the Undying Body stage, he increased it by another 200 million. Now his base blood energy has reached 4900 million. Once he completes the third forging, he will be a true sixth-tier powerhouse.

This is not just sixth-tier combat power, but a fundamental level of basic strength, which is a fundamental difference. If amplified by sword intent, the burst of attack can reach 2 million calories, making it perfectly capable of fighting a God Emperor.

Even if he encountered the Heavenly Emperor, he should be able to hold out for a while; that old guy's blood and energy seem to exceed 300 million calories.

Zhang Haoran's blood and qi calmed down, the dark golden light subsided, and the mysterious runes on his body gradually disappeared.

He checked the forging progress of the jade bone, and in this short period of time, 30% had already been completed.

This is a benefit of breaking through to the Undying Body stage; it didn't consume any life force, and there are still 270 drops of Life Essence left, which is enough resources to complete three forgings.

Zhang Haoran slowly landed back on the ground and immediately looked at the Overlord Emperor. The aura emanating from the other party seemed somewhat different.

At this moment, the runes in his eyes were fading but had not completely disappeared. He saw through the state of the Overlord Emperor at a glance. He had absorbed a portion of the power of immortality and possessed some characteristics of being alive. He was no longer just a simple projection.

Zhang Haoran said with relief, "Hehe! This is a good thing. It will save a lot of effort when we revive it later."

Reviving a simple projection involves many troubles, the first of which is to avoid conflict with Li Hansong.

Now that the Overlord Emperor has absorbed some of the power of immortality, things are simpler. As long as he regains his memories and can leave this small world, it's practically the same as being resurrected.
He absorbed some of the power of immortality, which gave him a foundation. All he had to do was create a physical body and a primordial planet.

Unfortunately, Zhang Haoran's current cultivation method is incomplete, only covering the body training part. His application of the power of immortality is very superficial, and he can only use it on himself. He cannot pass it on to others. Otherwise, it wouldn't be just him and the King of Zhentian going through the trials, but he would be bringing along human experts to easily push through all the checkpoints here.

The fact that the Overlord Emperor was able to absorb some of the power of immortality when he broke through was his good fortune, and it should be said that good deeds are rewarded.

Without the help of the Overlord Emperor, the Undying Body wouldn't have broken through to the third level so quickly; this is the cycle of cause and effect.

Just as Zhang Haoran was about to express his gratitude, he suddenly noticed that the aura emanating from the Overlord Emperor was rapidly decreasing.

He took a step forward and asked with concern, "Senior, are you alright?"

Is this a backlash from the secret technique?

The final strike of the Overlord Emperor unleashed a burst of blood energy that increased by a full ten million calories. He certainly wouldn't believe it if you said he didn't pay any price.

This made Zhang Haoran feel a little guilty. He took out a porcelain bottle and handed it over, saying, "Senior, please take this pill first to stabilize your condition."

The other party is no longer just a simple projection; healing pills are also available.

The Overlord Emperor shook his head and said weakly, "It has nothing to do with you. The backlash I suffered has already been recovered when I absorbed those golden lights."

He looked up at the sky, a cold glint in his eyes, and said, "Now some stingy people don't want me to continue forging your jade bones, so they've withdrawn their power."

"Right now, I can only maintain the early stage of breaking through level nine; I can't help you anymore."

When he said this, there was a hint of melancholy in the Emperor's voice.

Zhang Haoran sensed it for a moment and shook his head helplessly.

He originally wanted to continue forging the Jade Bone at this level, but now it seems impossible. With the Undying Body advancing to the third level, there is a 30% damage reduction, and attacks at the Breaking Nine level can no longer cause much damage.

The fact that the Overlord Emperor's strongest attack failed to kill his opponent is already considered a failure, and the seed's removal of energy is in accordance with the rules.

He was able to maintain his strength at the initial stage of the ninth level thanks to the power of immortality, which helped him retain a portion of his energy.

Actually, it's not that the seed is stingy; this small world doesn't allow emperors to enter in the first place.

Excessive power can cause the level to collapse.

If it weren't for the seed's own blessing, it simply wouldn't have been able to withstand the battle between the two.

Moreover, the constant supply of Emperor-level power to the Overlord Emperor was extremely costly.

Most importantly, Zhang Haoran's strength has obviously increased after his breakthrough. Even if he continues to maintain the power of the Overlord Emperor, he will not be able to win. So it is better to withdraw his power as soon as possible and end this battle.

Zhang Haoran looked at the vortex in the sky, his face darkening. The joy of his recent breakthrough was somewhat diminished, and he cursed inwardly, "They're not going to pretend anymore; they're openly trying to mess with me."

At first, the seed only revealed killing intent, but now it's starting to hold us back. It's as if they don't want to see it grow stronger.

This is no longer speculation; the seeds have clearly shown hostility.

I imagine the later levels won't be too easy either; I'm sure I'll face all sorts of challenges.

However, the problem isn't too big; the gains from entering the boundary point this time have already been substantial.

He's learned almost all the necessary techniques: the Human Emperor's Transformation Technique, the Southern Emperor's Return to Origin Technique, and the Northern Emperor's Golden Body Technique. He's even completed two forging processes during this period, improving his basic strength. Even if he's expelled from the boundary, it won't be too much of a loss.

Having prepared himself for expulsion, he decided to go all out. If he was targeted in the next level and still didn't gain any advantage, he would simply destroy the level. Even if he was expelled, he wouldn't let the seed have an easy time.

At this moment, the Overlord Emperor walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and advised, "Kid, don't be discouraged. Although I can no longer help you temper your jade bones, I'm not completely powerless to do anything."

I can send you to those very difficult levels. The projections there are inherently powerful, and you'll receive more buffs. You still have a chance to complete the three forgings. (End of Chapter)
