The first impact loosened the incorporeal barrier a bit, showing signs of disintegration. The second impact intensified this trend.
However, Ye Chen knew that this was an extremely long process. If he could break through with just one or two impacts, it would be too much of a joke.
As the saying goes, the first spurt of energy, the second spurt of energy, the third spurt of exhaustion. After two impacts, Ye Chen didn't immediately break through. Instead, he stored up some energy and began a new round of impacts. Each time, there were only two impacts. Ye Chen had to endure until the limit. Only then would he be able to erupt with a greater effect.
…
Five impacts!
Six impacts!
…
Ten impacts!
…
Twenty impacts!
Thirty impacts!
…
Unknowingly, the indicator beside him pointed to the next morning. Meanwhile, Ye Chen's entire body was drenched in sweat. His spirit was extremely excited, and he faintly felt a trace of morbid exhaustion.
"Success or failure will be decided here."
Ye Chen, who had been deliberately suppressing the number of impacts, sucked in a deep breath and began a new round of impacts. Once, twice … After two times, Ye Chen didn't stop. He continued the third, fourth, fifth, sixth … all the way to the eleventh time. He still had energy left over. This was the energy he had accumulated throughout the night. It was no small matter, and it was something Ye Chen had long since planned.
"Break for me!"
After the twelfth impact, Ye Chen seemed to hear something shattering. Unfortunately, this process only lasted for a blink of an eye, and he couldn't break through in one go.
Gathering his remaining energy, Ye Chen clenched his teeth and launched the thirteenth impact.
As if competing with Ye Chen, the incorporeal barrier clearly cracked, but it didn't break through. It was firmly stuck there like a heavy shackle.
After the fifteenth impact, Ye Chen felt exhausted.
This was intolerable. If he gave up now, it would be equivalent to giving up all his previous efforts. A night's worth of effort would be wasted. Most importantly, if he lost this opportunity, Ye Chen wouldn't have the confidence to break through to late Sea of Soul realm in a short time.
"Sixteenth time!"
Biting his lips until they bled, veins popping out on Ye Chen's forehead.
"Seventeenth time!"
Ye Chen's eyes started to redden.
"Eighteenth time!"
"Roar!"
Eighteen consecutive attacks had already surpassed Ye Chen's limits. If he didn't succeed this time, he would die trying. He couldn't help but roar. The sound waves spread in all directions, causing dust to fly up and fill the entire stone chamber. Ye Chen, who was in the middle of the stone chamber, could only see a faint shadow. His aura was like stagnant water, without any fluctuations. It was extremely strange.
All of a sudden —
Boom!
A vast and boundless true essence fluctuation shot up into the sky, twisting the dust in the air into nothingness. This true essence fluctuation far surpassed the true essence Ye Chen had before. Whether it was rich or pure, it wasn't on the same level; it had reached a whole new level.
Late Sea of Soul realm!
Breakthrough successful!
"Success!"
Even with Ye Chen's temperament, he couldn't control his emotions. He was extremely excited. This breakthrough had been too difficult. He had spent an entire night accumulating energy, and at the last moment, he had almost failed. If he hadn't withstood the pressure, if he hadn't surpassed his limits, the chances of failure would have been as high as ninety percent. But all of this was over.
Right now, his cultivation base was at late Sea of Soul realm.
Although he was happy, Ye Chen didn't get carried away. Breaking through to late Sea of Soul realm didn't mean that he would immediately have a late Sea of Soul realm cultivation base. The Zhen Yuan within his body hadn't completely transformed, and the compatibility between his body and Zhen Yuan hadn't reached a perfect state. The first thing he had to do was stabilize his cultivation base and gradually adapt to the new Zhen Yuan.
Of course, the most important thing was comprehending the profounds.
Slowly letting out a breath of impure Qi, Ye Chen closed his eyes again and entered the state of being one with the world. He automatically operated his Zhen Yuan and stabilized his cultivation base while comprehending all sorts of profounds. This was the best time to comprehend profounds. If he missed this chance, who knew when he would have the chance again.
"So, thunder profounds can be deduced like this!"
Under the state of being one with the world, Ye Chen's comprehension and deduction ability reached the pinnacle. Naturally, an illusory lightning appeared in his mind. The lightning existed in various forms, containing extremely high thunder profounds. And, Ye Chen was able to clearly observe the thunder profounds within the lightning.
Sixty percent!
Seventy percent!
Before, Ye Chen's thunder profound had only been comprehended to fifty percent completion. But now, it had continued to climb, reaching seventy percent completion. What kind of concept was this? It should be known that the thunder profound was only at ninety-nine percent completion, and seventy percent completion was not far from it. If nothing unexpected happened, the Thunder Devour, which contained the thunder profound, would gradually approach a high rank profound martial skill. It would be more than twice as powerful as before, or even several times more powerful.
Crack!
Without opening his eyes, Ye Chen subconsciously reached out a finger and pointed out in the air. With a thunderous sound, a hole appeared on the stone wall in front of him. The edge of the hole was burnt black, looking like a crystal.
"Gold profounds, unstoppable!"
Since his thunder profounds could not progress any further, Ye Chen switched to the gold profounds. Although Ye Chen's gold profounds had once been left behind by the thunder profounds, Ye Chen, who had a natural affinity with the gold profounds, had comprehended the gold profounds far more than the thunder profounds.
In just a short while, the gold profounds had climbed from forty percent to fifty percent, quickly reaching eighty percent. It was extremely close to greater completion.
Puff!
Pointing out his finger as well, a dark golden ripple appeared on his fingertip. It was like a dark golden flower quietly blossoming, leaving numerous marks on the stone walls. It was not over yet, as Ye Chen flicked out the other fingers of his right hand, causing dark golden flowers to blossom one after another. It was as if he was performing a magic trick. Under his control, the metal profound had become soft and flexible, which was a sign that he was close to reaching the completion of it.
At this point, Ye Chen's thunder profounds and gold profounds had reached seventy percent and eighty percent respectively. Thunder Devour and Gold Ripple, which contained these two profounds, had also taken a huge step forward. Their might was not far from high grade profound martial skills.
Moreover, Ye Chen's cultivation base had advanced greatly, breaking through to late Sea of Soul realm.
With these three factors added together, Ye Chen's strength had sharply increased. Ordinary half-step Kings could be killed in an instant, like cutting melons and vegetables. Even well-known half-step Kings wouldn't be his opponent. If he were to encounter Ghost Wood King or Iron Hand King again, he would make them suffer on the spot.
So much so that Ye Chen could rely on his powerful Undying Body to fight a peak half-step King. As for who would win and who would die, it was still unknown.
"Spiritual Sword has been used for a long time. This time, I should be able to shine brilliantly."
After comprehending thunder profounds and gold profounds, Ye Chen hadn't forgotten his previous killing move, Spiritual Sword. Spiritual Sword contained two profounds, wood profounds and fast profounds. Because he had spent a lot of time on other profounds, his wood profounds had only reached minor completion, and so had his fast profounds.
The reason why he didn't like Spiritual Sword was because this move was different from other sword moves. Adding fast profounds wouldn't increase the might of Spiritual Sword, but only make it faster. Of course, under the condition that the quality didn't change, the faster the speed, the greater the might. However, these two profounds weren't what Ye Chen was good at. Therefore, it put Ye Chen in a bit of a dilemma. He didn't have enough time.
Under the state of being one with the world, he didn't need to spend much time to greatly comprehend wood profounds and fast profounds.
Forty percent!
Fifty percent!
Sixty percent!
…
Forty percent!
Fifty percent!
Soon, Ye Chen's wood profounds had reached sixty percent completion. The fast profounds, which were harder to comprehend, had also reached fifty percent completion. The power of Spiritual Sword, which contained these two profounds, suddenly increased sharply. It should be known that his thunder profounds were only at seventy percent completion. Now, his wood profounds had reached sixty percent completion, which was not much inferior to thunder profounds. Adding the fast profounds, its might immediately surpassed Thunder Devour, which contained thunder profounds. Apart from that, Spiritual Sword's attack speed was also much faster than Thunder Devour.
Be it in terms of power or speed, Spiritual Sword had become more powerful. It could completely become one of Ye Chen's trump cards.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Raising his right hand's index and middle fingers, Ye Chen made a few strokes in the air. The opposite wall was covered with sword marks. With a rough look, there were hundreds of sword marks, and Ye Chen had only made a few strokes.
Since he had favored fast profounds, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't forget about slow profounds. Slow profounds were much harder to comprehend than fast profounds. Previously, Ye Chen had just learned it and had only reached twenty percent completion. Now, taking advantage of the state of being one with the world, Ye Chen had successfully raised his slow profounds to the minor completion realm. His every movement was extremely slow, and time seemed to have slowed down as well. When the air came into contact with Ye Chen's fingers, it seemed to become extremely lazy. Without a doubt, this was a profound that could affect others.
Although Ye Chen currently didn't have the ability to create an ultimate or killing move for the slow profounds, he had the foundation, and he would have plenty of opportunities in the future.
Finally, the key point came.
Without a doubt, Ye Chen's strongest sword move was the Gold Fury. Just like the Spiritual Sword, the Gold Fury contained two profounds: metal and water. However, even though they were both sword moves, the Spiritual Sword's power was far inferior to the Gold Fury's even though their profounds were at the same realm. This had nothing to do with the nature of the sword; it was just that they had different characteristics. The Spiritual Sword's most important aspect was its speed, while the Gold Fury's most important aspect was its destructive power.
Of course, there was no need to comprehend the metal profounds. Ye Chen focused on the last profounds, the water profounds, which weren't his main profounds.
Before this, the water profounds had just stepped into the minor completion realm. But soon, it broke through the minor completion realm and reached forty percent, then fifty percent, and finally stopped at sixty percent.
Ye Chen discovered that the further he went, the harder it was to comprehend. Although the water profounds weren't his main profounds, due to its low realm, he was able to improve it very quickly. On the other hand, the thunder profounds had only improved by two levels, because the starting point of the thunder profounds was too high. On the other hand, the metal profounds were very compatible with Ye Chen's body, so there was no need to mention how fast it improved.
The metal profounds had reached eighty percent completion, and the water profounds had reached sixty percent completion!
This was a shocking breakthrough. The Golden Hurricane, which contained these two profounds, was no longer a mid grade profound sense martial skill, but a high grade profound sense martial skill. Up until now, only Life and Death Kings could grasp high grade profound sense martial skills.
"Chop!"
Ye Chen's sword finger slashed out, and a strange scene occurred. The sword Qi released by the Gold Fury had changed. It was no longer a rippling light beam, but a crescent moon shaped sword energy.
Rumble!
The walls of the stone chamber, which were several times harder than the walls of the passage, were slashed open with a peerless sword energy.
Sucking in a deep breath, Ye Chen opened his eyes and saw this scene. After a while, he exclaimed, "Gold Fury is no longer suitable. I should change the name."
