The astonished Zhang Jiuxiao had thought that Zhang Ningxin would be the first to achieve a breakthrough, but who could have thought that Zhang Ningxin would actually make the first move?
A huge aura surged in the arena. Clumps of dense spiritual qi descended from the sky and drilled into his forehead, causing his strength to grow stronger and stronger. He was like a battle giant.
"Zhang Ningxin has already reached Phantasmal Space realm primary stage a long time ago. I thought that he would be able to break through three months ago, but who would have thought that he would be able to suppress me until now!"
"The stronger the suppression, the more powerful the breakthrough will be. Zhang Jiuxiao was already unable to withstand Zhang Xuan's attack earlier, so there's no way he'll be a match for Zhang Xuan now …"
"The gap between Grand Dominion realm pinnacle and Phantasmal Space realm intermediate stage is simply too huge.
"Hehe, isn't this fellow capable of breaking through? Continue if you dare … "
The audience was in an uproar.
The news of Zhang Jiuxiao's consecutive breakthroughs had already spread to all of the core disciples. The spotlight on the D stage had completely overshadowed the 'A' stage at this moment. Quite a few people were looking over.
He had thought that he would be able to see the offspring of the side family make another breakthrough, but who could have thought that Zhang Ningxin would make a breakthrough first?
The zhenqi in Zhang Ningxin's body flowed, producing a sound like that of a river. Standing in the middle of the arena, Zhang Ningxin's eyes were like lightning. With a cold expression, he said, "A mere member of the side family forced me to use my trump card. You should be proud of yourself!"
Hula!
Before the other party could reply, Zhang Xuan made a grabbing motion in midair.
Having reached Saint 7-dan Phantasmal Space realm intermediate stage, Zhang Jiuxiao's strength had nearly doubled from before. While his palm was still in midair, Zhang Jiuxiao felt as if a massive hand was gripping him tightly. No matter how he struggled, he was unable to break free.
Even though he could see through the flaws in Zhang Xuan's moves and dodge in advance, he was unable to do so now.
Creak!
Trapped within Zhang Jiuxiao's palm strike, Zhang Jiuxiao was unable to escape no matter how hard he tried.
"Can't you break through? If you have the ability, break through again and show me … "
Zhang Ningxin sneered.
It was one thing for Zhang Xuan to achieve consecutive breakthroughs in the Grand Dominion realm, but to reach the Phantasmal Space realm, one had to comprehend the laws of space. How could it be that easy?
If it was that simple, there wouldn't be less than fifty people under the age of thirty who had reached such a realm!
"I want to make a breakthrough, but … there are some details that I haven't designed yet …"
Despite being trapped by the other party, Zhang Jiuxiao didn't show the slightest sign of nervousness. Instead, he shook his head with a deep frown on his forehead.
"Not designed properly? Do breakthroughs need to be designed? "
Zhang Ningxin was stunned for a moment before he sneered, "If there's no way to break through, then there's no way to do it. Stop pretending. Once you've accumulated enough, what else do you need to design? Ridiculous! "
Breaking through was a matter of course. As long as one had accumulated enough and comprehended enough, one would be able to achieve a breakthrough right away. If one couldn't do it, one couldn't do it. Plotting … If a breakthrough could be plotted, wouldn't everyone be an expert?
"I'm really designing …"
Seeing that Zhang Jiuxiao didn't believe him, Zhang Jiuxiao shook his head.
"Cut the crap. If you have the ability to make a breakthrough, you'd better start right away. Otherwise, this competition is over …"
Zhang Ningxin couldn't be bothered to waste any more time. With a roar, he increased his strength.
Creak, Creak!
The sound of bones being crushed could be heard from Zhang Jiuxiao's body, as if he would be crushed at any moment.
"Sigh, I was really scheming. I hoped that I could quietly break through to a higher realm and not attract too much attention, but you just had to force me to break through …"
Despite the pain in his body, Zhang Jiuxiao did not panic. Instead, he shook his head helplessly.
"Quiet impact?"
"Too ostentatious?"
"Is there something wrong with this fellow's head?"
"He's only a Grand Dominion realm pinnacle cultivator, so what's there to be ostentatious about breaking through to Half-Phantasmal Space?"
A huge commotion broke out beneath the dueling ring as everyone shook their heads.
As expected of an offspring of the side family, they had never seen the world. Every year, the Zhang clan would send at least a hundred experts to attempt a breakthrough to Half-Phantasmal Space. They had never heard of anyone with such strength being ostentatious!
"First Elder, is he … really able to make a breakthrough to Half-Phantasmal Space?"
On the dueling ring, the old man turned to look at Zhang Jiuxiao.
It had not even been two hours since the other party had made a breakthrough from Grand Dominion realm primary stage to Grand Dominion realm pinnacle, and yet, he was already attempting a breakthrough to Half-Phantasmal Space. Was there really anyone who could cultivate that quickly?
"I can't see through it either. Typically speaking, one would need to accumulate a lot of experience and familiarize themselves with each cultivation realm before they can advance to higher realms. It's unlikely that he would be able to achieve such a feat …"
The First Elder pondered for a moment before analyzing the situation.
It was not that he didn't trust the other party, but he had never seen such a breakthrough before!
Hong long long!
"Forget it, I can't just give up on my design after losing the duel …"
Before the First Elder could finish his words, Zhang Jiuxiao, who had been caught on the dueling ring, suddenly widened his eyes in pity. He opened his arms wide, and his body suddenly jolted. Following which, the crowd beneath the dueling ring heard a deafening explosion.
Following which, Zhang Jiuxiao's aura grew stronger and stronger, and it felt as though a storm was brewing.
Hu hu hu!
Following which, the sky above the dueling ring darkened, and ominous clouds began to gather around the dueling ring.
"Th-this …"
Seeing the ominous clouds gathering around the dueling ring, the First Elder's face paled, and his body trembled uncontrollably. "This isn't a breakthrough to Half-Phantasmal Space realm but … the true Phantasmal Space realm?"
Only when a Half-Phantasmal Space realm cultivator was attempting to breakthrough to Phantasmal Space realm would the lightning tribulation appear. Yet, the other party was already undergoing a Grand Dominion realm pinnacle breakthrough. This meant that … the other party had bypassed the Half-Phantasmal Space realm and was attempting a breakthrough to Phantasmal Space realm primary stage!
It was no wonder the other party said that he had to design a little …
A breakthrough to Phantasmal Space realm would trigger the Phantasmal Space Tribulation!
It was impossible for him not to do so!
Hong long!
While the First Elder was still in the midst of his shock, the lightning in the sky had already gathered, and it felt like it would explode at any moment.
"You …"
Zhang Ningxin didn't expect the other party to be able to reach the Phantasmal Space realm and even summon the lightning tribulation. His hands trembled in fear, and he nearly lost control of his zhenqi.
"Even if it's the lightning tribulation, I'll defeat you first!"
Stabilizing the zhenqi in his body, Zhang Jiuxiao gritted his teeth.
Hong long!
He gathered all of his strength and sent a palm strike toward Zhang Jiuxiao.
The lightning tribulation hadn't fully gathered yet, so he had to make use of this period of time to defeat the other party. That way, he would be able to win the duel!
Kacha!
But before his palm strike could reach the other party, a bolt of lightning had already struck his head, causing green smoke to rise from it.
Pu!
Spurting fresh blood, Zhang Ningxin's zhenqi was on the verge of dissipating. His body trembled uncontrollably as he muttered in disbelief, "The lightning tribulation hasn't fully formed yet … How could the lightning tribulation of a Phantasmal Space realm be so powerful?"
"Who said that it's the lightning tribulation of a Phantasmal Space realm cultivator?"
Zhang Jiuxiao shook his head helplessly. All of a sudden, the zhenqi in his body flickered erratically, and a series of crackling sounds echoed.
Phantasmal Space realm primary stage!
Phantasmal Space realm intermediate stage!
Phantasmal Space realm advanced stage!
Phantasmal Space realm pinnacle!
Half-Phantasmal Space realm!
In the blink of an eye, he had already reached Half-Phantasmal Space realm, and he was about to make a breakthrough to the true Dimension Sundering realm!
This lightning tribulation was actually … the Dimension Sundering Ordeal!
