With the revival of spiritual energy, I cultivated the Great Emperor's Technique on Blue Star.

The blood-red aura that filled the streets dissipated completely, leaving only pure and gentle life essence that fell like strings of stars and entered the Great Dao Treasure Bottle floating above Lin Yan's head.

This Heaven-Devouring Emperor Array spans the sky, its pitch-black imperial array patterns radiating an ancient and boundless divine charm, absorbing the last remaining energy in this world. Every time a line trembles, a mysterious and magnificent aura of unparalleled majesty permeates the air.

Lin Yan stood still, his eyes bright and piercing, his aura surging, as if he had transformed into a humanoid glutton, greedily absorbing and refining the essence of life.

The ultimate strike that the black-robed venerable man unleashed by burning his life essence and exhausting his life force and blood essence seemed domineering and incomparably powerful, enough to crush any being below the third rank. In the end, however, it could only become his cultivation resource in the face of the Devouring Heaven Emperor Formation.

A massive amount of extremely pure life essence flowed continuously into his sea of ​​suffering through the invisible connection between the Emperor Array and the Great Dao Treasure Bottle.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a monstrous wave surged within my body, stirring up a sea of ​​suffering!

The Bitter Sea, which was originally only slightly larger than an egg, expanded and extended wildly under the infusion of endless essence, growing stronger and deeper at a visible speed.

The "Taoist Scripture: The Sea of ​​Wheels" chapter resonated spontaneously within his body, with clusters of vital energy intertwining above the Sea of ​​Bitterness, rising like clouds and soaring straight to the heavens, like an erupting volcano, rumbling and unable to calm down.

Soon, Lin Yan entered an indescribable state of enlightenment, transcending worldly concerns and forgetting worldly realms. Faintly, the sound of waves crashing against the sky seemed to reach his body, and his whole being was shrouded in a hazy and radiant glow.

This astonishing phenomenon shocked everyone. In that instant, even Old Lu, who was hidden in Lin Yan's shadow, was repelled by an unstoppable force.

"Is he about to break through?!"

In the crowd, Bai Chen stared in disbelief at the scene before him and exclaimed in surprise.

"Previously, he clearly hadn't even reached the peak of the second tier, and after fighting a third-tier martial artist, he's about to break through to the third tier?!"

Zhao Feng gave a classic, bitter smile. There are very few young talents who can even look up to such a person, let alone catch up with him or even walk alongside him.

"Quickly! Old Lin, Old Xiao, go and protect him! Everyone else, those who need to be on guard, be on guard; those who need to activate the instruments, activate them. We must completely isolate the spiritual energy fluctuations here!"

In the communicator between members of the Great Xia Martial Arts Department, Wang Jianjun almost shouted, his eyes sharp and frightening.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingshan and the bespectacled, refined man, Xiao Taichu, vanished from their original positions in an instant, appearing directly beside Lin Yan the next second. Together with Lao Lu, they formed a pincer movement, firmly protecting him in the center.

Lin Yan was unaware of all of this for the time being, as his mind was completely immersed in the center of the Sea of ​​Bitterness, where the frequency and intensity of life essence gushing out were the highest, often resembling sharp and dazzling bolts of lightning suddenly piercing the sky.

He seemed to be communicating with the Wheel of Life, releasing that divine spring that had been suppressed beneath the sea of ​​suffering!

It wasn't that he was arrogant and reckless in breaking through at this time and place, but rather that he had absolute confidence. With the Devouring Heaven Emperor Formation in hand to protect himself, let alone people like Old Wang, Old Lin, Old Xiao, and Old Lu, even if fourth- or fifth-order extraordinary beings attacked him, they would only gain a little bit of life essence!

Lin Yan naturally began to circulate the profound methods of the Daoist Scripture. In an instant, an extremely powerful life force emanated from his body, as if he were undergoing some kind of intense transformation.

His life essence flowed endlessly from his sac to his limbs and bones. Every inch of his flesh, every bone, and every organ was nourished and nurtured, making his physical body exceptionally strong, far surpassing its previous strength.

If he were to encounter a martial artist of the same caliber as the Black-Robed Venerable again, Lin Yan was confident that he could face him head-on without defeat.

boom!

A moment later, the tsunami sound emanating from Lin Yan reached its peak, accompanied by gusts of wind and thunder. A terrifying aura suddenly erupted, and the entire earth trembled.

Lin Yan's body was filled with fiery energy, and his eyes shone brightly with divine light, shooting out two sharp beams of light that shot straight into the sky, exceptionally dazzling.

In that instant, an extremely awe-inspiring aura suddenly appeared on his body, and a rainbow appeared beneath his feet, supporting him as he rose into the air.

"They've already reached the third tier?!"

The group was shocked to see Lin Yan suddenly rise into the air and stand in the void.

It should be understood that at this stage, every third-tier expert has gone through countless trials and tribulations and consumed countless resources to barely complete the breakthrough. Each of them is an "old guy" in his fifties or sixties. How could they be as relaxed as Lin Yan, who successfully advanced in a very short time?

At that very moment, everyone stared intently at the Devouring Heaven Array pattern covering Lin Yan's head.

They knew perfectly well that the root cause of all this was this mysterious formation transformed from the Blood Sacrifice Formation!

"Finally, I've broken through to the Life Spring Realm!"

If this were in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, a realm that ordinary cultivators would need to cultivate for several years to break through, Lin Yan achieved it with ease, relying solely on the burst of spiritual energy from yesterday night and the life essence he devoured in today's battle.

With water flowing naturally, the path will be laid solidly!

At this moment, Lin Yan gazed at the very center of his own sea of ​​suffering, where a spring appeared out of nowhere, its misty waters gurgling and steaming with a massive amount of life essence.

A surge of boundless vitality washed over his limbs, internal organs, bones, and meridians, making his flesh and blood more refined and crystalline. Every inch of his skin was imbued with the profound essence brought by the Great Emperor's Method. His physical strength, blood and qi quality, and even his undeveloped primordial spirit power all underwent a comprehensive sublimation and transformation at this moment!

An aura far exceeding that of a peak second-tier cultivator, several times more powerful, exploded from the body of the proud young man standing in the void, sweeping across the entire street and cleansing all directions.

At this moment, Lin Yan has truly joined the ranks of the top extraordinary beings on Earth!

It took a whole day!

"He broke through?! He just killed a third-tier Venerable, and immediately stepped into the same realm?!"

Zhao Feng murmured softly, his tone filled with shock. These prodigies, carefully nurtured by the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Department, were all stuck at the second level, painstakingly honing their foundations and seeking opportunities for breakthroughs, but they repeatedly encountered setbacks. Yet the young man before him defeated his enemy and broke through his realm in one battle, as easily as eating and drinking.

On the other side, Bai Chen pulled the longsword from the ground, and a sense of powerlessness, which had appeared for the umpteenth time in his usually arrogant eyes, welled up again: "We're all from the same generation, yet the gap between us is so vast... This is simply an opponent from a different dimension!"

Wang Jianjun's expression was solemn, his gaze fixed on Lin Yan, whose aura was surging, his heart filled with turbulent emotions.

He had lived for decades, led the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Department for many years, and seen countless geniuses and prodigies, but he had never seen such an outrageous speed of cultivation, nor had he ever seen such a terrifying foundation.

When an ordinary second-tier martial artist breaks through to the third tier, their aura will inevitably be somewhat unstable, and they need some time to stabilize their realm. However, after Lin Yan broke through, his aura was condensed and restrained, as stable as a rock, and his foundation was shockingly solid.
