Chapter 527: Breaking the Cultivation Barrier

Even though the seventh grade Earthshatter Beast had been dead for many years, its corpse still contained a copious amount of flesh power.

With his Life Drain bloodline talent, Nie Tian drained every last bit of its pure and rich flesh power within a fairly short time.

As soon as the ten wisps of crimson aura, which had expanded significantly, returned to Nie Tian, the green aura in his heart instantly showed its greedy nature and started devouring them madly.

After it had devoured seven of the ten wisps of flesh power, the green aura’s endless desire finally seemed satisfied.

Thanks to Nie Tian’s recent spirit beast meat consumption and this grand flesh power feast, the green aura finally fell dormant again.

Ecstasy instantly filled Nie Tian’s heart.

He knew perfectly well that, after the dormant period, the green aura would awaken a brand new bloodline talent for him.

The remaining three wisps of crimson aura circled around Nie Tian’s body, gradually splitting into fine strands of rich flesh power and swimming to every corner of his body.

Fine like hair, tens of thousands of strands of flesh power slowly swam to and refined every bone and organ in Nie Tian’s body.

Feeling sore all over, Nie Tian sensed wisps of blood mist rise from his skin and slowly wreath him.

It wasn’t long before the blood mist morphed into a blood-colored film and covered his entire body.

Under the blood-colored film, crisp sounds echoed out from his bones as strands of flesh power filled his internal organs and his meridians grew more resilient.

Shortly afterwards, impurities flowed out of his pores.

Just like that, the three wisps of flesh power split into countless fine strands, and gradually refined every inch of his body.

Dong Li sat beside him and watched the whole time. In her eyes, Nie Tian seemed to have put himself in a blood-colored cocoon. The blood-colored cocoon looked sticky at first, then it grew solid, and now fine fissures started to appear on it.

The way she saw it, when the cocoon finally broke, it would mean that Nie Tian had finished his refinement of his fleshy body.

Upon seeing that Nie Tian was currently in the middle of a crucial process, she gave up on the idea of searching in other areas, but rather guarded him wholeheartedly.

After some time, the blood-colored cocoon finally cracked open and started to fall off.

As pieces of the cocoon fell off Nie Tian’s body, they took his garments with them. Eventually, Nie Tian emerged completely naked, sitting in the lotus position with his eyes closed.

Dong Li’s bright eyes lit up as she saw Nie Tian’s extremely muscular and masculine body beside her. Then, a faint smile quietly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Soon afterwards, she detected intense spiritual power fluctuations from within Nie Tian.

That was when Nie Tian’s eyes snapped open.

Dong Li’s expression flickered as she blurted, “Y-you’re on the verge of making a breakthrough, right?!”

Nie Tian nodded as he rose to his feet, completely not held back by the fact that Dong Li was sitting so close. He took out a cyan robe from within his ring of holding and casually wrapped it around himself before saying, “I’ve just finished refining my body. By doing that, I’ve finally broken the barrier that’s stopping me from making my next breakthrough. Since there isn’t anyone else around, I think I’ll make the breakthrough right away.”

With these words, he sat back down on the ground and took out a number of spirit jades from within his ring of holding.

He piled them between his crossed legs, and with a deep breath, he closed his eyes. Then, he picked up a spirit jade from the ground and started absorbing the rich spiritual power within it.

As he did, huge waves instantly rose up and filled his spiritual sea, which was scene he had seen many times. In the next moment, as his spiritual sea went through an upheaval, a brand new vortex of spiritual power gradually came to shape within it.

“An eighth vortex of spiritual power!” He temporarily sealed his mind from the outside world and concentrated all of his attention on his spiritual sea in his dantian. He continuously channeled his spiritual power into his gradually-forming eighth vortex of spiritual power.

At the same time, Dong Li snapped out of the image of Nie Tian’s naked body and grew serious as soon as she heard that Nie Tian was going to make his breakthrough right away.

Even though, for Qi warriors under the Worldly realm, their breakthrough process normally wouldn’t be necessarily dangerous, Nie Tian’s situation was special. Because he cultivated three different types of spiritual power simultaneously, she was worried that those powers would conflict with one another, thus adding variables to his breakthrough process.

Dong Li quietly rose to her feet and walked around while constantly checking on Nie Tian with concerned gazes, as if she were afraid that mishaps would happen to him during such a crucial process.

Time passed slowly...
