When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

As night deepened, the fires in the dense forest crackled intermittently.

On a flat ground a dozen meters away from the fire, Jiang Feng sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.

Around him, Xiao Xingye held a broken spear, Ling Yu gripped the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword, and Yan Jinyao and Xiao Wanning also tightened their grips on their weapons.

[Ding! A fifth-tier Grandmaster (Human Demon) has been defeated, and the 'Soul-Shattering Cone of the Void' has broken through to the Fusion Realm!]

[Ding! Absorbed the essence of a fifth-tier treasure beast, your divine sense has been greatly nourished!]

"Your spiritual awareness has reached the required level."

Jiang Feng suddenly understood.

The dantian, which was originally at the peak of the fourth grade, was in a state of overflowing fullness.

All the conditions for breaking through to the fifth-grade Grandmaster have been perfectly met at this moment!

He calmed his mind and guided the true energy within his body to begin its ascent towards a higher realm.

The transition from the fourth rank to the fifth rank is a watershed moment on the path of martial arts.

The most crucial transformation is the transformation of true qi into liquid!

The true energy within a martial artist's body will undergo rigorous compression from its misty state, eventually condensing into liquid true energy.

The mass of a single drop of true qi liquid is equivalent to that of a large cloud of true qi in the past.

However, he is different.

When he entered the fourth rank, he had already cultivated the True Qi Source Liquid.

Therefore, breaking through to a higher realm was not difficult for him.

Jiang Feng looked inward and saw an invisible, indestructible barrier deep within his dantian.

Those were the shackles that prevented mortals from ascending to heaven.

"Break it!"

Jiang Feng roared in his heart, pushing the Burning Heaven Emperor Scripture to its limit.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The immense true energy crashed against that invisible barrier again and again, like a raging torrent.

During this process, the dantian begins to slowly expand.

His divine sense, like a bird breaking free of its cage, spread outwards at an alarming speed!

Originally, the divine sense's external range was only one hundred meters, but it instantly covered a surrounding two hundred meters!

Three hundred meters!

Four hundred meters!

500 meters!

The chirping of insects in the dense forest, the wriggling of earthworms underground, and even the trails of falling leaves were vividly clear in Jiang Feng's mind!

Time passed by, second by second.

This breakthrough did not last long.

He had already honed his foundation to the point of rock solidity, and with the foundation of perfect divine abilities, everything seemed to fall into place naturally after years of accumulation.

In less than three hours.

Jiang Feng abruptly withdrew the violently fluctuating aura emanating from his body!

Immediately afterwards!

"BOOM!!!"

The crimson Heaven-Burning True Qi erupted like a live volcano in an instant!

The blinding red light illuminated the night sky as if it were daytime!

"Oh My God!"

Yan Jinyao was forced to retreat repeatedly by the shockwave, her beautiful eyes filled with horror.

Ling Yu, standing to the side, had to slam his Xuan Tie Heavy Sword into the ground to barely steady himself, his cold face filled with disbelief.

"Is...is this really a breakthrough to the fifth rank?!"

"This commotion is more than ten times greater than when we broke through!"

"It's more than just big..."

Yan Jinyao swallowed hard, her voice trembling. "The oppressive aura of this is even more terrifying than some of the fifth-rank, eighth-star Grandmasters in our Wujiang City!"

"Jiang Feng is amazing! He's going to succeed!"

Despite the fierce wind that stung his cheeks, Xiao Xingye's face was filled with fervent excitement.

Xiao Wan Ning covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes reflecting the crimson light filling the sky, her heart filled with unparalleled shock.

Just as everyone was in shock and horror.

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound finally came from inside Jiang Feng's body.

The fifth-grade barrier that had blocked his way for so long was shattered under the violent impact of true energy!

Grandmaster realm achieved!

"Whoosh!"

Jiang Feng's divine sense suddenly expanded outward, and in one leap he sensed a range of one thousand meters around him!

Within a radius of a kilometer, every movement is under control.

And his dantian underwent a tremendous change.

If his dantian was only the size of a washbasin before, now it has expanded to the size of a spacious house!

The space within the dantian was no longer filled with floating clouds of true qi, but instead flowed a blood-red true qi source liquid that was extremely dense!

Each drop of liquid contains terrifying energy capable of destroying mountains and splitting peaks.

The internal organs, muscles, bones, and skin, nourished by this liquid true energy, radiated a crystalline luster like jade, and the physical body became inhumanly strong.

Just as Jiang Feng was feeling this destructive power, his control over the Burning Heaven Emperor Scripture and his own true energy suddenly entered a completely new realm.

"True Qi manifests... Condensing into Armor!"

Jiang Feng suddenly opened his eyes.

"roar!"

Faintly, a high-pitched and majestic dragon roar seemed to echo in the void.

The incredibly violent, blood-red Burning Heaven True Qi began to contract and recombine inward!

Under the stunned gazes of Ling Yu and the others.

Pieces of crimson scales, as clear and translucent as rubies, quickly condensed on Jiang Feng's body.

The scales overlapped and interlocked, eventually transforming into a suit of armor covering the entire body!

This armor is incredibly lifelike, with a dragon head totem on the chest that has wide, angry eyes, and sharp barbs extending from the shoulders, like the reverse scales of a real dragon.

Moreover, as the true energy finally condensed, a ferocious-looking, crimson helmet with dragon horns on both sides perfectly covered Jiang Feng's face.

Under the firelight, Jiang Feng, clad in red dragon armor, slowly stood up.

His posture was upright, like a war god who had come from ancient times and walked through fire.

mighty!

Domineering!

He's incredibly handsome!
