Chapter 268: 139 Breaker third layer, mastery of Jin-force_2

The Blood Ghost spoke with a thick layer of suspicion in his voice.

"Based on the on-site investigation, Lord Qing Zhao must have encountered another group of powerful Void Demons, possibly including third-level Void Demons, that’s why..."

His subordinate explained in a low voice.

"No matter the reason, whether it was an encounter with a group of Void Demons or being killed by a core disciple of the Fierce Bird Sect, now, it doesn’t matter..."

"In twenty-four hours, the Fierce Bird Sect will cease to exist!"

"I will exterminate every single disciple of the Fierce Bird, leaving none alive!"

Under the black cloak of the Blood Bird, the chilling words were as somber as the autumn wind.

There was an urgent, bloodthirsty impulse mixed with the satisfaction of revenge.

Finally, the time had come for everything to end!

...

On the outskirts of the city, in the garden of a small villa.

Bright and beautiful flowers bloomed, their subtle fragrance lingering in the air.

An old gentleman in a black suit slowly walked down the aisle.

A subordinate reported to him along the way.

"Sir, this afternoon, a large number of Martial Arts Association members appeared at the third ritual location, and the core area’s ritual tracks might have been discovered."

"Sir, what should we do next..."

Upon hearing this news, the old gentleman’s expression remained unchanged.

He still appeared calm and composed.

"No plan is perfect."

"We have arranged so many ritual sites around Huaisui City, so the probability of being discovered increases significantly. The fact that they were discovered only a day before the Yabadon Life Tree matures is already good enough..."

"With only one day left, even if the Huaisui City Martial Arts Association notifies a higher-level Martial Arts Association, it’s too late to dispatch people. Not to mention, the process of discovering the issue, reporting it, and receiving a response takes a considerable amount of time. It’s even possible that we will have already initiated the plan by the time the higher-level Martial Arts Association starts sending urgent help. By the time they arrive, everything will probably be too late..."

"Don’t worry about these matters."

"We just need to carry out the original plan."

The two continued to exchange information and pass along orders.

A moment later, the old gentleman waved his walking stick, and his subordinate immediately left.

In the garden, he stood alone in silence.

With both hands on his walking stick, he gazed ahead.

In the distance among the flowers, an ethereal and gloomy shadow had appeared at some unknown time. Its shape was elusive, like a reflection in water.

"Is everything ready?"

A voice that seemed both absent and present, as if coming from a great distance while also echoing within, kept resonating in a hoarse tone.

The gentleman in the suit bowed slightly, saying respectfully.

"My lord, everything is ready!"

"In twenty-four hours, my men will strike directly at the heart of the Horror Bird Organization, pouring all the prepared vast amounts of fresh blood into it, allowing the overlapping realms of the Tree of Life to expand to their maximum, enough to cover the urban area of Huai Shui City..."

"At the same time, large-scale God Descent rituals in other directions will also be activated simultaneously. They will guide you, pulling you into the real world..."

"The Disaster of Hongze will once again sweep across the land!!!"

He raised his hands high, his expression fervent with praise.

...

Fierce Bird Sect, headquarters.

In a hall of the dojo, Bai Xiao was tallying this time’s rewards.

In front of him, the professional experience information displayed.

[Your profession ’Martial Arts Association Member’, Experience +415!]

[Your profession ’Martial Arts Association’, has risen to LV.3!]

[Your skill ’City Stability’, Experience +482!]

[Your skill ’City Stability’, has risen to LV.3!]

This time’s experience was the most substantial he had ever received, especially the City Stability skill, which was so exaggerated that it had increased by nearly five hundred in one go!

The Martial Arts Association Member profession and the City Stability skill.

It was like rocketing up to the third level.

Bai Xiao was thrilled and hoped for more opportunities like this.

He looked down at his personal panel, which was quietly displayed.

[Profession: Martial Arts Association Member LV.3 (135/600)]

(Available for extraction)

[Skill: City Stability LV.3 (177/600)]

(Available for extraction)

Two dark red insignias firmly captured Bai Xiao’s attention.

He summoned the Dark Red Modifier without hesitation.

In an instant, a mysterious force enveloped him, and the panel blurred.

A massive amount of experience was extracted and converted into Potential Points.

[Dark Red Modifier]

[Potential Points: 14]

He paused for a moment, then looked toward another profession panel.

[Profession: Martial Artist LV.4 (11/1600)]

(Extractable)

The Martial Artist profession had also been upgraded.

On his way to the core area of the abandoned factory, the intensity of combat he faced was fierce, and the pressure was substantial. Bai Xiao had nearly exerted his full strength in that moment.

It was only natural for the Martial Artist profession that was already on the verge of a breakthrough to evolve.

"Dark Red!"

With a thought, he concentrated his attention.

Instantly, a mist covered the entire Martial Artist profession panel.

Two seconds later, everything became clear.

[Dark Red Modifier]

[Potential Points: 38]

It was the most impressive accumulation yet, totaling thirty-eight potential points.

Bai Xiao felt an unprecedented sense of security at this moment.

He took a deep breath and turned his gaze to another part of the profession panel.

The talent of Pure Heart was twinkling with a blue light.

After a blurry shiver passed.

[Profession: Martial Artist LV.4 (11/1600)]

[Talent: Pure Heart (Evolution Times: 4)]

The Pure Heart talent had evolved once more!

Its effects would be significantly improved subsequently.

In the hall.

After checking all the changes, Bai Xiao took out his training notes.

He quickly walked into a secret chamber and began to read in detail.

Having had some insights in the latter half of his journey to the abandoned factory’s core area, and feeling a sense of excitement when he first read the training notes at the Martial Arts Association an hour or two earlier, Bai Xiao sensed that it was about time. He had a premonition that this time he would definitely have a breakthrough.

In the brightly lit secret chamber.

Bai Xiao flipped through the training notes page by page, particularly focusing on the content about the Breaker Third Stage, reading it over and over, chewing it over, memorizing it by heart.

The more he read, the more he felt he was gaining.

Combined with the visualization of the Fierce Bird Atlas, the twelfth martial arts movement—the Extreme Coordination Method—seemed intuitive. Bai Xiao’s eyes brightened increasingly.

He felt an inexplicable surge of excitement, as if he had grasped some fleeting inspiration.

In an instant, Bai Xiao closed the notes.

He sat cross-legged, decisively activating the recently strengthened talent of Pure Heart. A cold and rational sensation enveloped his figure.

His brain operated at high speed, and his body entered an unprecedented optimal state.

Bai Xiao inhaled deeply and softly exhaled twice.

"Swallowing Demon!"

"God Descent!"

In a flash, his eyes changed color, a powerful momentum surged forth, and the qi oozing out of his pores made his clothes billow. Bai Xiao’s left eye turned completely black, and his right eye turned completely white.

They were like two of the purest and most uniquely colored precious stones, resplendent and mysterious.

At this moment, he was in a one-to-one balanced state between Swallowing Demon and God Descent.

The next step was to break the balance and then re-establish it.

Bai Xiao had intended to try it step by step, but having suddenly grasped inspiration earlier, he seemed to already have a solution in his mind. He knew what to do.

Crackling...

A series of faint bubble-popping sounds erupted from his body.

It was the contradictory clash of two different momentums and states.

If his body could not re-balance itself, Bai Xiao would soon succumb to demonic possession. If misfortune struck, he might even have a life-threatening situation.

Huff... Huff... Huff...

As the intense breathing, like a bull in heat, echoed, the qi in the room swirled, forming an invisible vortex around Bai Xiao.

In his eyes, the black portion grew increasingly larger.

Gradually darkening the right eye.

Time passed, and in the end, only one-fifth of the right eye remained white. That is, the proportion of black to white in both eyes reached a nine to one ratio.

Humming...

At this moment, Bai Xiao’s aura was no longer concealed, revealing his Breaking Limit Three-layer Cultivation!

The states of Swallowing Demon and God Descent were harmoniously integrated, like the endlessly rotating polarities of a yin-yang symbol. There was no conflict, no contradiction; instead, they merged into one.

This bestowed him with a powerful instantaneous burst and a force that combined toughness with flexibility!

It possessed the wild savageness of Swallowing Demon.

And a hint of the calm and rational quality of God Descent.

Finally, using the Extreme Coordination Method, Bai Xiao balanced the two major states.

At this moment, he had fully stepped into the Breaker Third Stage.

In the secret chamber.

The cross-legged Bai Xiao opened his eyes and looked down at his own palm.

Not sure if it was the natural result of his strength breaking through, or the recent frenzy of practicing the Ten Fists Sword, Bai Xiao inexplicably felt the strength within his body surge like a current, seemingly capable of combining and transforming at will.

One moment it would scatter in spikes, the next it would explode with vibration, and then tear with sharp ferocity.

"Could it be... power!?"
