Invincible through Touching Corpses

At the same time, he opened his system panel and looked at a particular piece of information.

Realm: Peak of Blood Qi Realm+

He tapped the "+" sign without hesitation.

"DING! Would you like to expend 10,000 points of Blood Qi Power to break through to the next Realm?"

Lin Xinghai quickly tapped "Yes."

Following his selection, a new surge of Blood Qi Power materialized within his body.

This surge of Blood Qi Power was completely beyond his control, heading straight for his internal organs.

Although the meridians in the human body spread everywhere like capillaries, many of them are unopened—narrow and likely blocked.

Under normal circumstances, a breakthrough would require Lin Xinghai to follow the route prescribed by his Cultivation Technique, clearing the necessary meridians bit by bit, before he could finally infuse his internal organs with Blood Qi Power.

But now, he didn’t need to do any of that. After the system’s Blood Qi Power appeared, it shot to the forefront, widening his meridians with incredibly precise angles and force.

The Speed was so fast it made Lin Xinghai’s eyelids twitch. He reckoned that even an expert at the Divine Demon Realm wouldn’t dare to charge their meridians like this.

They probably couldn’t even reach one-fifth of this Speed. Besides, no matter how well a normal person controlled their Blood Qi Power, there would inevitably be some damage to their meridians.

But this wasn’t the case with the system’s Blood Qi Power. It carved a path forward with brute force, not only causing zero damage but even nourishing the meridians, causing them to rapidly toughen.

Of course, the only downside to the system’s ferocity was... the pain.

Excruciating pain.

Lin Xinghai’s face was contorted in agony. Veins bulged on his forehead, and sweat poured down like rain.

Zuo Wenya, who had been watching Lin Xinghai intently, was startled by the sight and immediately shot to his feet.

Normally, the initial stage of a breakthrough shouldn’t be this painful.

But he soon noticed that Lin Xinghai’s aura wasn’t chaotic at all. In fact, it was strengthening at a visible rate—a rate far, far faster than normal.

"What’s with this kid? It’s one thing for his regular Cultivation to be fast, but why is he in such a rush to break through? What if something goes wrong?" Zuo Wenya couldn’t help but grumble.

But there was nothing he could do to interfere at this point. He could only hope that Lin Xinghai had enough control over his own Blood Qi Power to avoid any issues.

With the system’s help, Lin Xinghai’s breakthrough was incredibly fast. In just ten minutes, the system’s power had already cleared all of his meridians.

It was safe to say that his breakthrough was more than halfway complete.

Lin Xinghai’s next step was to inject all the Blood Qi Power from his blood vessels and meridians into his internal organs.

This step was very simple. With his level of control, Lin Xinghai completed it in just a few dozen seconds.

Now, Lin Xinghai had reached the final step of the breakthrough: making the Blood Qi Power within his internal organs vibrate at a specific frequency, like ripples on water.

This was the most critical step. The slightest misstep in control could damage his internal organs.

Furthermore, because all the Blood Qi Power had to vibrate at once, the more of it he had, the more difficult this step would be.

’But for me, this is no big deal,’ Lin Xinghai thought. ’Because I can cheat.’

As expected, the system never disappointed him. A vibratory force appeared, and at the same instant, the Blood Qi Power in his internal organs began to oscillate at the specific frequency.

According to the requirements for the breakthrough, he just needed to maintain this state for ten minutes to succeed.

That wasn’t difficult.

As the Blood Qi Power continued to vibrate at that special frequency, Lin Xinghai could feel his fragile internal organs rapidly strengthening.

At this point, he became keenly aware that something was definitely not right with his current breakthrough.

Based on his understanding of the cultivation system, there was no stage that specifically focused on strengthening the internal organs.

Logically, if he were about to successfully break through, the changes in his body shouldn’t be the strengthening of his internal organs, but rather a complete reshaping of his entire body at the cellular level.

’Where did it go wrong?’ Lin Xinghai’s brow furrowed.

He replayed every detail related to the Divine Demon Body Cultivation in his mind, trying to quickly pinpoint the problem.

As images flashed through his mind, one suddenly froze in place.

It was the illustration of the stone slab that Jian Hua had shown them during their first class after he entered East Sea Academy.

There were a total of 24 illustrations on the stone slab, with every three in a row representing one Realm.

At the time, according to Jian Hua, the illustrations in the first and second rows corresponded to the stage of the Optimized and the Blood Qi Realm, respectively.

Lin Xinghai hadn’t given it much thought back then, but recalling it now, he realized something didn’t add up.

’If the first row represents the Optimized and has a clear Cultivation Technique, then one should be able to start learning the Divine Demon Body’s Cultivation Technique as soon as they become one of the Optimized.’

’But in reality, under normal circumstances, one only begins to practice the Divine Demon Body’s Cultivation Technique from the Blood Qi Realm.’

’So, here’s the question: if the first row of the Inheritance Stone Slab represents the Blood Qi Realm, and the third row represents the Body Shaping Realm...’

’Then what about the illustrations in the second row? Could they also represent a Realm?’

As Lin Xinghai felt the changes within his body, his mind was thrown into turmoil.

If his suspicions were true, then everyone had effectively skipped an entire Realm of Cultivation, jumping directly from the Blood Qi Realm to the Body Shaping Realm.

The consequences of this were easy to imagine.

The most obvious manifestation was that, to this day, not a single person at the Divine Demon Realm had been able to break through to a higher Realm. The reason must be the lack of Cultivation in that second Realm.

At this moment, a thousand thoughts raced through Lin Xinghai’s mind. He even began to consider what consequences would arise if this information were made public.

Judging by the current situation, the Cultivation Technique inferred from the stone slab’s patterns was most likely incomplete.

To obtain the complete Cultivation Technique, one had to receive the true inheritance from the Inheritance Stone Slab.

The problem was, without the help of a system like his, how could anyone else obtain the true inheritance?

Moreover, those Inheritance Stone Slabs seemed to be single-use. At least, the one for the Thunder Divine Body he had used was now covered in cracks and could no longer be used.

Although Lin Xinghai’s mind was a mess, and several times the emotional turmoil almost made him lose control and break out of the special vibratory state, the system would always assert its presence at the critical moment, forcibly keeping his body in the breakthrough state.

Time passed quickly. In just ten short minutes, the toughness of Lin Xinghai’s internal organs had increased by at least threefold.

This also meant that he was about to complete his breakthrough.

Just then, a piece of information suddenly appeared in Lin Xinghai’s mind.

The Thunder Divine Body inheritance he had obtained was complete, but it was sealed by a strange power. Only after he completed one stage of Cultivation would the next stage be unlocked.

And the information that had just appeared in his mind was the content for the next stage of the Thunder Divine Body Cultivation.

When Lin Xinghai looked at it, he was instantly captivated by the three words at the beginning.

Marrow Tempering Realm!

"So my guess was right. There really is a hidden Realm between the Blood Qi Realm and the Body Shaping Realm." Even though Lin Xinghai was mentally prepared, his mouth still felt dry.

He knew with absolute certainty that things were about to change dramatically.
