Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 67 Rank Breakthrough Mission
Genichirō died after all. Although the three were all strong men, and the two with the Seven-Book Spear were the strongest among the strong, they did not resist for long when facing Liu Mang who had fully unleashed his true power. They were basically defeated every five or six moves. It was obvious that their strength was no longer on the same level as Liu Mang.

During the battle, Liu Mang suddenly had an epiphany and broke through the twelfth level of strength to the seventh level, gaining seven times the strength in one fell swoop, which also accelerated the defeat of the three people.

Three thousand soldiers, ten elite generals, three seven-guns, and one commander-level Xian Ichiro. This was Liu Mang's biggest gain since he came to this world, more than all the previous gains combined. Not only did he gain a lot of exploded equipment, but the experience gained also directly pushed Liu Mang's level to the 90 mark!
Just as the level reached 90, a prompt from the game panel sounded:

"It has been detected that your level has reached level 90. The level has reached the upper limit. The experience has been automatically saved, triggering the first breakthrough mission. After the breakthrough, you will enter the second level, the growth coefficient will be improved, and the level cap will be unlocked to level 150.

Breakthrough Mission: Kill powerful enemies who are ten levels higher than you alone three times (Requirement for powerful enemies: Enemies at the commander level or above in this world)"

Level 90, level cap, breakthrough mission!
New game panel content has appeared. I actually need to complete a breakthrough task at level 90 before I can continue to upgrade. Yes, this is very much a game, but it’s neither Wolf nor Dark Souls!

But this is undoubtedly a good thing. After all, the growth coefficient can be improved after the breakthrough, which is an all-round enhancement!
Killed three level 100 enemies above the commander level alone. If Owl and Butterfly are counted, then there are already two. Unfortunately, Butterfly was a bargain that Liu Mang picked up, so it was considered a kill in cooperation with Wolf, so it was not counted in the target.

Although Xiao accounted for 40% of the output of the bandits, he was killed by Liu Mang's sneak attack after he had been out of the battle for a long time. This met the conditions for a single kill and was counted as an indicator.

Then, we have to kill two more.

There is no way out in this time and space three years ago. They cannot get out of Pingtian Village. There is a barrier similar to an air wall outside the forest. People in this time and space can enter and exit freely, but Liu Mang and the wolf will be blocked. It seems that the power of the bell can only support their activities in such a large range.

The drops are sorted out in order. First comes the highest-level item, Ashina Genichirō's sword, which is of legendary level. This is the first time that Liu Mang has dropped a legendary item, and it happens to be the weapon used by the enemy.

Diamond Iron Thunder Blade (Legendary)
Attack: 200
Features: Summon Thunder
Introduction: Ashina is blessed by God, and the diamond iron it produces is both flexible and hard. It is also favored by God. If a person with divine karma uses it, the sword can summon thunder and be invincible. Summoning thunder does not produce thunder, but gathers it to make it easier to control. If there is no thunder to summon, only the hardness of diamond remains.

As expected of a legendary item, even the attribute panel is different. Not only does it have super high attack power, it also has one more feature and even an introduction, which instantly gives it a high-end feel!

Then, what was dropped by the three members of the Seventh Spear Group turned out to be three identical complete sets of armor, which were of the extraordinary grade.

Great Armor (Extraordinary), Defense: 100.

Then there are ten samurai generals, nine of whom each have a wild sword (excellent), adding 60 attacks.

The other person dropped a large armor (excellent) that added 60 defense. I don’t know why he was the only one who didn’t fit in.

Some of the remaining 3,000 soldiers also dropped good things, most of which were ordinary swords, a small number were excellent, and there were three excellent katanas.

The upgraded attribute points were added to defense as usual, and the equipment was replaced as needed, and Liu Mang's attributes increased greatly.

Player: Liu Mang

Rating: 90
Life: 1900/1900
Attack: 181-182 (+640) (+100%)

Defense: 720 (+360)

Free attribute points: 0
Experience: 1000 billion/1000 billion (to be broken through)
Equipment: Diamond Iron Thunder Blade (Legend), Great Armor (Extraordinary)*3, Red Pearl (Special), Wild Sword (Extraordinary), Thorn Blade (Extraordinary), Sword (Excellent)*4, Great Armor (Excellent)*1
Armor is much harder to get than weapons. He has been in this world for so long and has killed nearly five thousand enemies, with hundreds of equipment dropped and nearly twenty weapons above excellent. However, he only has these four limited pieces of armor, which add a total of 4 defense, which is only half of his own defense.

But the total defense finally crossed the 1000 mark. If facing a red ghost of the same level this time, Liu Mang can stand and let him hit him 1899 times!
On the other hand, the attack attribute of a level 90 samurai general is about 500, which is basically two or three times the strength. Excluding the attributes added by the equipment, a full-strength attack may have about attacks. It can also break the defense, so you still need to be cautious, but it is enough to withstand a blow.

With the addition of equipment, his attack power has finally reached the level of a commander of the same level, which means that in normal strength he is no less than the commander-level masters of the same level in this world, such as Genichirō, Owl, Butterfly or Wolf, and he can also destroy a parking lot with a tornado when running!

That is, his equipment has more additional attributes, which cannot be amplified by the power level, while commanders of the same level can at most carry a legendary weapon with an additional 200 attacks, and most of the attributes still depend on themselves.

If the two sides have the same strength level, Liu Mang is very likely to lose strength to the opponent in the attack, so in future battles, he should still try to avoid fighting with moves, and roaming around and stealing the knife is the appropriate choice.

The battle is over, and Wolf has returned from the pursuit. The affairs of this time and space are basically over. Next, we should return to the original time and space to deal with the affairs of Ashina Country. There are still two indicators missing in the breakthrough mission. Oni Keibu counts as one, and I don’t know if Genichirō has taken the Benwakayodo to control Tomoe’s Thunder and Sakura Dance like in the original plot. If so, he can also be counted as one. In this way, his breakthrough mission is completed, his attributes are greatly increased, and perhaps he can prepare for the Palace of Origin.

After arranging the three of them, Liu Mang gave them a task to go to Ashina Castle to wait for his orders, and then he was ready to go back. There are two ways to go back in the game, one is to teleport to the ghost Buddha, and the other is to complete the plot and the wolf was ambushed by the owl and then the fate closed loop was formed and the game automatically exited.

But as mentioned before, Liu Mang did not find any trace of the Ghost Buddha in this time and space, so teleportation was naturally useless. So how about killing the wolf and try?

Looking at the wolf's gentle and concerned eyes, Liu Mang immediately cleared this thought from his mind.

Just kidding, even though the wolf won't really die because he has Dragon's Blood, a short death would still be extremely painful. At least try to see if there are other solutions!

They came here because of the guardian bell, so do they also have to go back through the guardian bell?
He took out the guardian bell and shook it, but there was no response. He then closed his eyes and listened as if he were learning to come, but there was still no response. He then used the power of Dragon's Yin to connect the wolf to himself again, but it still didn't work.

But after using Dragon's Yin to connect with the wolf, Liu Mang's powerful spiritual perception vaguely detected the difference in the wolf. It was clearly one person, but when the power of Dragon's Yin was connected to it, it sensed two individuals. Although the aura of the two was basically the same, there were still subtle differences.

Liu Mang suddenly realized that after they came to this time and space, they merged with their own selves in this time and space. The two people who came here on their own initiative took the dominant position, while the two people in this world fell into a deep sleep and hid in their bodies, so he sensed the two wolves!

Recalling the situation in the original plot where the wolf actually returned to his original time and space, Liu Mang remembered that it seemed that Jiulang only returned after bestowing the Dragon's Heritage on the wolf. In other words, the owl's sneak attack and killing of the wolf was not the factor that triggered the return journey, but the conclusion of the Dragon's Heritage Contract was!
The wolf from three years ago did not have the power of Dragon's Blood, so it was suppressed by the wolf that possessed Dragon's Blood three years later and fell into a deep sleep. However, the conclusion of the Dragon's Blood Contract later forcibly awakened the wolf from three years ago. The wolf three years later, which had already concluded a contract, was unable to conclude a contract again, so it was repelled by the higher-level power Dragon's Blood and forced to leave this time and space before waking up.

The more he thought about it, the more it made sense, so Liu Mang decided to give it a try.

However, in the original plot, Jiulang did not travel through time. He could use his own Dragon's Blood to conclude a contract with the wolf. But could Liu Mang call upon Jiulang's Dragon's Blood from three years ago?

Liu Mang penetrated deeper into his body, searching for traces of another Jiulang. There was a big difference between him and the original Jiulang, so his aura should be easier to distinguish, but the reality was that he was unable to find another Jiulang!
What happened? Did I guess wrong? Liu Mang opened his eyes in confusion.

This shouldn't be the case. He sensed two wolves that were extremely similar, so there's no reason why he couldn't sense Hara Jiulang who was quite different from himself!

After trying again, he still found nothing and his research was in trouble.

Liu Mang looked up at the sky, wondering what he had overlooked.

All the supernatural phenomena in Ashina can be attributed to the Sakura Dragon. It is the leakage of his power that leads to the occurrence of various supernatural phenomena. The travel through time and space should also be caused by the power of the Sakura Dragon.

As the source, Sakura Dragon itself should be unique. After all, it is impossible for him to split himself into two identical ones. Then, as the most essential power of Sakura Dragon, will there be two copies of Long Yin?
No! Liu Mang's eyes flashed, there is only one Long Yin, and it will not increase with the development of parallel time and space. As the son of Long Yin, Jiu Lang can also only have one, and that is him, Liu Mang!

There are no different Jiulang individuals in the parallel time and space, only Liu Mang. It was him who gave Wolf Dragon Yin in the original time and space, and it was also him who gave Wolf Dragon Yin three years ago. As a low-dimensional being that originally had no Dragon Yin, the wolf could give birth to a parallel individual under the influence of Dragon Yin.

The Son of Dragon's Origin can only have one contractor. This is something Liu Mang knew in his previous life. No matter whether it was Genichirō or Xiao, after learning that Lang had become Jiulang's contractor, they immediately decided to target Lang. Genichirō attempted to kill Lang, and Xiao attempted to separate Lang and Jiulang, with the purpose of forcing Jiulang to terminate the contract.

Whether he didn't want to watch Wolf repeat the pain of death, or he was angry that Wolf betrayed him under Owl's orders, Jiulang was very likely to cancel the contract. However, neither of them expected that Wolf was both loyal and powerful, and directly hacked them both to death, making their conspiracy bankrupt.

This means that the Dragon's Shadow Contract can only be signed once.

But the parallel world is not the original world after all. Is it possible to sign another contract after changing to another world?
The answer is yes. If the contract cannot be signed, then all the wolves in the parallel worlds will have no Long Yin. How will their fate unfold?

Therefore, Liu Mang must be able to sign another contract, and this is the key for them to go back!

After figuring all this out, Liu Mang immediately called upon the power of Dragon's Blood to connect himself with the wolf from three years ago. His blood flowed into the wolf's body through the connection of Dragon's Blood and merged with his blood. Then, the ancient sacred chant suddenly sounded, and pink crystals condensed in the palm of the wolf's hand, a gentle glow emanated, and illusory cherry blossom petals fell all around.

This is cherry dew. Condensing cherry dew means the contract is established.

The chanting suddenly stopped, and pink blossomed from the cherry blossoms. An intense pink light enveloped Liu Mang and the wolf. The strong light made them close their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, they were back in the dilapidated temple.

But three years ago, all that was left were fainted wolves and countless corpses.
