Chapter 480 - 478: Frenzied Breakthrough Under the Light of the Heavenly Dao
At the end of the Extreme Celestial Tier, by the Mysterious Altar!
Jiang Jichen’s eyes were closed, immersed in deep comprehension.
At this moment, the first form of the Ancient Heavenly Dao Saber Skill, Severing Ancient Times, was now complete.
The divine form of the Saber Technique was in his heart. Jiang Jichen was comprehending and evolving it.
"The Celestial Dao is the saber, driven by thought. Sever the boundless expanse, and see the true self!"
Jiang Jichen’s eyes opened, and in that instant, understanding dawned in his heart.
At this moment, his body had merged with the Extreme Celestial Tier, with heaven and earth, and with the Void.
At the same time, an infinite Sword Intent coalesced around his body.
In that instant, Jiang Jichen had a feeling that with a single flicker of his Divine Thought, he could transform into the Celestial Saber and sever the boundless road.
This was a sign that he had achieved initial success with the Heavenly Dao Saber Technique.
However, Jiang Jichen immediately retracted his Sword Thought and returned to a state of calm.
But immediately after, a vast and infinite Ancient Heavenly Dao Light descended from the Void to baptize him.
This stream of Ancient Heavenly Dao Light was more than a hundred times greater than what the Little Nun, Suotu, Tang Han, and Ye Rou had received, and its aura was purer and more ancient.
And once Jiang Jichen was baptized by this incomparably vast Ancient Heavenly Dao Light, he would be forced to stop here and would ultimately be teleported into the Six Paths Illusion Realm.
"The Light of the Heavenly Dao has appeared. It’s out of Jiang Jichen’s hands now. As soon as the baptism from the Light of the Heavenly Dao ends, he’ll be teleported into the Six Paths Illusion Realm."
"He can only stop here. He can’t break the myth, can’t become an eternal genius."
"What a pity. Still, such a vast, pure, and ancient Light of the Heavenly Dao is absolutely unprecedented. Even if he doesn’t step into the next layer of the Celestial Dao, his gains are still immense. He’s already close to being an eternal genius. If he’s allowed to mature, his future achievements will be unimaginable."
"Hmph, he won’t get the chance to mature. The Six Paths Illusion Realm will be his grave."
The surrounding crowd was shocked and green with envy at the sight.
The Light of the Heavenly Dao was just too astonishing. It was a hundred times greater than what others had received, enough to drive people mad.
Some also felt it was a pity for Jiang Jichen.
For he was ultimately fated to stop at the end of the Extreme Celestial Tier, unable to step into the next level of the Celestial Dao.
After all, now that the Light of the Heavenly Dao had descended, the outcome of being baptized and teleported away was unchangeable.
Others were indignant, sneering that Jiang Jichen would never get to mature, rendering his talent useless.
Those who were Jiang Jichen’s mortal enemies breathed a sigh of relief.
Those who had hoped to get a glimpse of the next level of the Celestial Dao, however, felt a secret sense of regret.
Jiang Jichen was now standing within the Light of the Heavenly Dao.
The world around him was completely submerged in the Light of the Heavenly Dao.
He could feel the vast and pure Mysterious Power contained within the Light of the Heavenly Dao, even greater and purer than what had seeped out from the stone steps.
Jiang Jichen hesitated. ’Should I accept the Celestial Dao’s baptism and absorb this Mysterious Power?’
In fact, he could choose to either continue forward or be baptized by the Light of the Heavenly Dao and teleported away.
Without a doubt, Jiang Jichen would choose to continue forward!
But seeing the immense Mysterious Power contained within the Light of the Heavenly Dao, he grew covetous, completely unwilling to give it up.
He was greedy. He wanted to both accept the baptism of the heavenly light and step into the next level of the Celestial Dao.
’It should all be mine!’
Jiang Jichen was being childishly greedy and stubborn.
At this moment, having comprehended and devoured the Ancient Heavenly Dao Thought, and with the help of his Seven-Colored Divine Thought, he could sense an invisible Dao Platform existing in the misty Void ahead.
That invisible Dao Platform was even more ancient and mysterious, leading to who knows where.
Jiang Jichen could only faintly sense the first Dao Platform ahead.
Not only that, but a white mist blocked the path forward, and it was difficult to pass through.
This white mist could not be passed with comprehension or Divine Thought; it required solid Cultivation Power to break through and traverse.
That was why even those peerless geniuses, who managed to reach the end of the Extreme Celestial Tier, had already exhausted their power. How could they have any strength left to break through the barrier of white mist?
After all, even an existence like Tang Han at the Peak Realm would find it difficult to break through that barrier of white mist.
Thus, they all had to stop here!
’I’ll risk it all!’
Jiang Jichen finally gritted his teeth.
Then, he began to accept the baptism of the Light of the Heavenly Dao.
As the endless Light of the Heavenly Dao enveloped him, Jiang Jichen furiously circulated the Source Character Qi Condensing Technique, the Undying Scripture, and the Demon Phoenix Remnant Technique.
He was absorbing the Mysterious Power from the Light of the Heavenly Dao with a devouring momentum.
In fact, because he was devouring it so fiercely, the immense Mysterious Power slammed into him, causing blood to splatter from his entire body.
The scene was truly spectacular and shocking, leaving the crowd dumbfounded.
"Jiang Jichen, is he insane? To devour the Heavenly Dao Power like that!"
"He’s throwing his life away! But isn’t this absorption speed just heaven-defying?"
"I’ve never seen anyone splatter blood all over from absorbing Spiritual Power too quickly."
"But what is he trying to do? Why is he doing this?"
...
The crowd was amazed, but their amazement was followed by confusion and bewilderment.
Jiang Jichen could have slowly accepted the baptism of the Light of the Heavenly Dao, so why was he in such a hurry, as if racing against time?
But in the Void, those supreme figures had exceptional insight.
"Jiang Jichen... he’s actually trying to use the Heavenly Dao Power to break through to the next Realm right here!"
They were utterly shocked, thinking Jiang Jichen was suicidal.
This was because if the Light of Teleportation were to suddenly descend while he was in the middle of a breakthrough under the baptism of the Light of the Heavenly Dao, he would be affected by the teleportation force, his breakthrough would surely fail, and he might even die.
They didn’t know why Jiang Jichen would take such a huge risk to break through during the baptism of the Light of the Heavenly Dao.
Only Jiang Jichen himself knew that he needed greater power and had to stake everything on a single, desperate gamble in that final moment.
Therefore, at this moment, he unleashed his full Cultivation and accepted the baptism of the vast, endless Light of the Heavenly Dao.
His Spirit Infant had already grown to the limit of the Middle Realm and was on the verge of breaking through to the Late-Stage Spirit Infant Realm.
Furthermore, the third minor acupoint within his Golden Body Acupoints had already loosened. Now, as the endless Mysterious Power surged in, it felt as though his Golden Body Acupoints were about to burst.
’Keep suppressing! Keep absorbing!’
’A breakthrough requires suppression to the absolute limit to achieve the most explosive power.’
’More! Devour!’
Jiang Jichen roared within the Light of the Heavenly Dao.
At this moment, he revealed an incredibly frantic and savage side.
He was recklessly devouring the Mysterious Power.
Even after reaching his limit, he still didn’t stop.
Because only by breaking through to a higher Realm would the impact of that one instant be more powerful.
"One-tenth!"
"Two-tenths!"
"Three-tenths!"
...
The Mysterious Power within the Light of the Heavenly Dao was being absorbed by Jiang Jichen, steadily diminishing.
When it reached eight-tenths, Jiang Jichen seemed to have reached his limit.
His clothes were completely dyed red with blood.
"More! Nine-tenths!"
Jiang Jichen roared wildly as countless cracks began to appear on his physical body.
It seemed unable to withstand such immense Mysterious Power and was on the verge of collapse.
But Jiang Jichen showed no intention of stopping.
"Ten-tenths! Refine!"
He roared, finally devouring all the Mysterious Power in an incredibly short time.
He was so fast that the Light of Teleportation didn’t even have time to descend.
At that moment, the collapse of his physical body began to accelerate.
However, relying on his powerful will, the restorative power of the Demon Phoenix Technique, and the Body Suppressing Undying Power from the Undying Scripture, he finally withstood it!
"Break through!"
Only then did Jiang Jichen’s Divine Thought stir.
Inside his Golden Body Acupoints, the Mysterious Power surged ceaselessly, like an infinite storm raging within.
In his Spiritual Body’s Sea of Qi, the Spirit Infant trembled, constantly growing stronger and breaking past its limits.
BUZZ!
The Void trembled as the Light of Teleportation descended at that very moment.
Jiang Jichen’s expression remained unchanged as he assaulted the barrier of his Realm with even greater frenzy.
