Chapter 972 - Spirit Profound Realm
The Divine Thunder Physique not only granted Liu Wuxie control over lightning energy but also transformed his physique in a terrifying fashion. His body now brimmed with strength, at least a hundred times greater than before.
Even if he failed to break into the Spirit Profound Realm, he could rely on raw strength to kill cultivators at the pinnacle of the Spirit Profound Realm without using any true essence or dao techniques.
The physique wielded terrifying power. It served as a vessel, and as it grew stronger, it held more laws and true essence within.
As Liu Wuxie's cultivation began to stir restlessly, he took over a hundred million spirit stones and dumped them into the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron.
He had burned through all his spirit stones during his previous breakthrough to reach the peak of the True Profound Realm. However, he had replenished his reserves when he had slaughtered thousands to save Fiery. He even found several supreme-grade spirit stones among them, which he tossed into the cauldron.
He needed a terrifying amount of spirit stones for the breakthrough, possibly more than a hundred million. He reserved the supreme-grade spirit stones for critical moments, planning to refine them only if necessary.
Someone approached, and the spiritual array pulsed a warning in response.
Lu Liang and the other three assassins immediately stepped out of the spiritual array to deal with the intruders. Footsteps echoed from a distant tunnel, drawing their attention.
"Our Master is in the critical moment of his breakthrough, and we can't allow anyone to interfere," Lu Liang said firmly to his group.
"This is strange. Why is the spiritual energy here so dense? There's even lightning energy mixed among them," muttered one of the intruders with a frown.
They couldn't explain why lightning energy coursed through the underground mine.
