High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

Su Jie did not visualize and refine his soul power, but instead—simulated borrowing power!

"Boom!"

Consciousness seemed to be assimilated by that supreme Daoist aura, and a tearing pain came from the soul.

But he gritted his teeth and, with the support of his martial arts heart (blue) and level ten soul power, he managed to extract and simulate a wisp of extremely weak "divine thought" from the immense meaning of that "hair," a thought that carried supreme suppression and looked down upon all the heavens and myriad worlds!

This simulated divine thought is incredibly illusory, lacking any real power. It's more like a projection of a "status," a natural "contempt" for lower beings originating from the highest level of life!

Then, he guided this simulated "meaning of hair" of indescribable high rank, mixed it with all his level 10 soul power, and transformed it into an invisible and intangible spear of will, which crashed fiercely against the crushing "mountain of bones" will!

The original majestic, heavy, and seemingly irresistible remnant will of "Integrity and Spirit" let out a mournful cry filled with extreme fear the moment it came into contact with this wisp of "meaning of hair"—like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun!

"Snap... Bang!"

The illusory image of the mountain of bones shattered and disintegrated on the spot! Its control over the origin of the divine treasure also froze and went blank for a moment!

It's now!

Su Jie's immortal martial bone in his left arm unleashed an unprecedented suction force, and his five fingers pierced fiercely into the bubble barrier that had become unstable due to the collapse of his will!

"Suck it!"

[Barrier breach detected! Forced extraction initiated!]

[Guiding the source of integrity and forging martial spirit!]

The pure, rich, and vibrant gray-white "bone energy" source, full of vitality and strengthening power, surged wildly into Su Jie's left arm like a flood breaking through a dam, and was then guided to all 206 bones in his body!

On the steps below, the many geniuses of the True Martial World who witnessed this scene were all dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost!

Instead of inheriting the divine treasure's origin, he forcibly plundered it? And it seems he succeeded! What method did he use to instantly shatter the remaining will of the divine treasure?

"Boom—!!!"

The pain brought by this tempering of the Heaven-level Martial Bone far exceeded any of Su Jie's previous tempering experiences!

"Ugh—!!"

Su Jie finally couldn't hold back and let out a suppressed roar of pain, instantly turning into a blood-soaked mess!

His skin cracked inch by inch, all the capillaries burst open, and blood gushed from his seven orifices!

He felt as if every bone in his body was being shattered at the most minute particle level, and then forcibly reassembled in a mysterious way that he could neither understand nor control!

This pain transcends the physical realm, affecting the very depths of the soul! It's as if a billion red-hot carving knives are sculpting eternal marks of agony onto his soul!

His consciousness was adrift in an endless ocean of pain, almost completely lost and collapsing.

My vision blurred, and all I could hear were the chilling cracking and rebuilding sounds of bones and the roar of blood rushing through my veins.

Only by relying on the newly broken-through level ten soul power to hold onto the last bit of clarity in his soul, the Martial Heart (blue) shone with an unprecedented bright light, and the Spirit Nourishing Technique was fully activated to soothe the violent tremors of his soul.

The "Creation Vitality" of the immortal martial bone in his left arm was operating at an unprecedented speed, repairing his constantly collapsing and reconstructing body, and keeping his life flame from being extinguished!

"Bone Tempering... Heavenly Level... Give it to me... Success!!!"

Su Jie roared defiantly in his heart, pouring all his will and all his beliefs into it!

"Click—Buzz—!"

A deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were created, came from the deepest part of his body!

The overwhelming, intense pain receded suddenly like a receding tide.

An indescribable sense of power, seemingly originating from the very source of life, like an ancient god or demon awakening from slumber, instantly filled every corner of his body!

His entire skeletal system had undergone a complete transformation! It now possessed a warm and restrained yet seemingly boundless chaotic hue, with naturally formed patterns on his bones, as if engraved by the Great Dao, subtly resonating with his surrounding qi and blood, and even the void.

Heavenly-level Martial Bone, achieved!

[Ding! Detected that the host has tempered their entire body's martial bones to the Heavenly level! Base combat power +2500 million points!]

[Current base combat power: 5000 million points! After the 20% bonus for Extreme Foundation Establishment, the actual base combat power is: 6000 million points!]

[A qualitative change has been detected in the host's martial bone. The fusion rate of the Immortal Martial Bone has increased. Current fusion rate: 0.1%!]

[Immortal Martial Bone bonus: 10000 stars!]

A surge of immense power coursed through his body, and Su Jie couldn't help but roar to the sky!

The roar was like a dragon's cry, shaking the void and even causing some of the floating bubbles around to tremble slightly!

On the steps below, all the prodigies stared in horror toward the direction from which the howl came, feeling the terrifying aura that made their very souls tremble!

Su Jie clenched his fists, feeling the terrifying power within his body that seemed capable of shattering stars with a single punch. All the pain and adventure he had endured before felt worthwhile!

As a result of this ultimate physical sublimation, Su Jie felt that something deep within his soul also resonated and underwent a transformation!

[Ding! Detected a synchronized leap in host's life level and martial arts will! [Martial Arts Heart (Blue)] has advanced to [Martial Arts Heart (Purple)]!]

[Martial Arts Heart (Purple): Power control and comprehension increased by 250%! Mental resistance greatly enhanced, soul power cultivation speed increased by 100%, and perception of the power of heaven and earth improved!]

"The Heart of Martial Arts has been upgraded? And the speed of soul power cultivation has also been increased!" Su Jie was overjoyed. After tempering the Heavenly Rank Martial Bone, the next step is to nurture the soul. Improving the soul power level is the first priority. He was worried about the difficulty of improving his soul power in the future, and this 100% acceleration effect came just in time!

However, just as he was getting used to this surge of power, the "Original Breathing Technique," which had been operating autonomously within his body and continuously providing him with vital energy, slowly stopped operating!

It's not that it's ineffective, but rather... it's saturated!

The total amount and quality of Qi and blood in his body have reached the theoretical limit that the current basic breathing method, "Origin Breathing Technique," can support!

Like a glass that's already full, no more drops of water can be poured in. This cultivation technique, which accompanied him on his rise and made great contributions, finally completed its historical mission temporarily after he finished tempering his Heavenly Rank Martial Bone.

"My Qi and blood are overflowing, and my breathing technique has stopped on its own..." Su Jie instantly realized his own condition. It seemed that he needed a more advanced technique for further cultivation. Thinking of this, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

"Wait! I've broken through to the Heavenly Martial Bone level! The mission the system issued before..."
