Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Breaking Through Boundaries

Boom!

Xiao Zheng’s internal energy, Gang Qi, violently surged out and with a thunderous roar, it struck a gigantic door which blasted open instantly.

Xiao Zheng peeked inside, and his face revealed a look of pleasant surprise—he could clearly see that a breakthrough was indeed occurring inside.

However, the breakthrough pertained only to Long Qie.

After a moment of thought, Xiao Zheng understood why. Titan had been severely injured before, and practicing the Muscle Strengthening Scripture might at best accelerate the healing of his wounds. As for an actual breakthrough, that was nearly impossible. Nonetheless, once his injuries healed, a breakthrough would be just a matter of time. There was no need for excessive worry.

"First, get Titan out of there."

Xiao Zheng observed the scene within the secret chamber.

At that moment, Long Qie was seated on a cushion with his Gang Qi swirling around him, like tumultuous waves, surging violently and striking in every direction. Under the impact of this tremendous energy, Titan was no longer sitting steadily. Yet at this time, he was still immersed in his cultivation, barely responsive to the external environment, and for the moment, he failed to notice what was happening. Moreover, even if he had become aware, he couldn’t just react rashly due to the peril of deviating from his practice when moving his body during cultivation.

Whoosh!

Xiao Zheng stomped heavily on the ground and his body shot forward explosively, arriving instantly in front of Titan. It was precisely at this moment that Long Qie’s Gang Qi, with another loud bang, burst forth once more, hurling itself towards where Xiao Zheng stood, like a mighty mountain crashing down.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Zheng’s expression shifted slightly.

He instantly realized that his intrusion into the secret chamber had triggered Long Qie’s senses, causing all the Gang Qi to concentrate and surge towards him.

Upon this realization, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Zheng’s face as he thought, and a gentle stream of Gang Qi flowed from his body, shimmering with a faint golden luster.

When Long Qie’s violent Gang Qi collided with Xiao Zheng, it was as though it had entered a mire, instantly losing its force.

Then, Xiao Zheng waved his hand slightly, and Long Qie’s surge of Gang Qi was redirected elsewhere.

Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Zheng grabbed Titan and leaped away, exiting the chamber.

After placing Titan on the ground, Xiao Zheng extended his hand and gently tapped a spot on Titan’s body—precisely where the Gang Qi would circulate during the Grand Circulation.

At Xiao Zheng’s touch, that stream of Gang Qi immediately dissipated and then merged into Titan’s limbs and body. Titan’s body shook slightly, and his eyes opened.

Xiao Zheng had interrupted Titan’s cultivation process, but his method was extremely skillful and did not negatively impact Titan.

"Mr. Xiao..." Upon opening his eyes, Titan looked around, somewhat confused.

"Hehe, Long Qie is about to make a breakthrough," Xiao Zheng pointed to the scene within the chamber and laughed.

Then, he glanced at Titan and said, "You don’t need to be anxious either. Once your injuries heal, a breakthrough will naturally follow."

Upon hearing the news of Long Qie’s impending breakthrough, a look of joy appeared in Titan’s eyes, but at the same time, a hint of loss also showed. After hearing Xiao Zheng’s words of comfort, he quickly regained his composure, nodded, and said, "Mr. Xiao, rest assured, I will break through as soon as possible!"

Titan knew that in the coming times, Xiao Zheng would be facing extremely formidable enemies. The sooner he could break through, the more he could help Xiao Zheng.

Boom! Boom!

At this moment, a series of tremendous booms echoed from within the secret chamber, and the aura within Long Qie’s body became even more terrifying.

Streams of Gang Qi, like giant dragons, roared out from his body, shaking the air and emitting fearsome growls while also shining with a blinding milky-white brilliance that illuminated the area as if it were daytime, with the violent aura surging wave after wave.

"This is a prelude to breaking through to Grandmaster..." Xiao Zheng watched the scene and said, "At the moment of breakthrough, all the potential within the body is fully stimulated, affecting the Gang Qi, causing it to circulate rapidly and produce large amounts of Gang Qi, which is dozens of times more than before the breakthrough!"

Xiao Zheng’s expression became much graver, "This is the most crucial and also the most difficult step! Once the body cannot withstand the tremendous amount of Gang Qi, the breakthrough will fail, and you could even be severely injured, leading to a catastrophic result of a declined realm."

"However, once successful, the Gang Qi is absorbed into the body, stimulating the Gang Yuan, causing it to evolve, and in turn nourishing the physique, enabling a successful breakthrough to Grandmaster realm! From then on, both Gang Qi and the physical body will be significantly enhanced, far beyond what an Innate Master can compare to."

Titan nodded slightly upon hearing this, his face also showing a bit of worry as he looked towards Long Qie, knowing that Long Qie was about to face the toughest trial!

"Ah..."

Just then, Long Qie let out a huge roar, filled with pain. Afterwards, his body began to crack, with wounds opening one after the other.

In just a short time, Long Qie had turned into a bloodied man, and his body was trembling slightly, clearly under immense pressure.

Titan’s expression dramatically changed, and he said, "Mr. Xiao, what’s happening to Long Qie... What’s wrong with him?"

Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes, and after a long while, he sighed and slowly said, "This is both good news and bad news."

"Hm?"

Confused by Xiao Zheng’s words, Titan was clueless.

Xiao Zheng explained, "Within any realm, there are the strong and the weak. Some who break through to Grandmaster can fight against ten and be invincible, while others may only be a common Grandmaster after their breakthrough."

Xiao Zheng, looking at Long Qie’s blood-drenched body, continued, "Judging from the phenomenon of Long Qie’s breakthrough, he is a Martial Arts practitioner with exceptional potential. Therefore, when he breaks through, his potential stimulates the Gang Yuan, producing amounts of Gang Qi that are several times, if not dozens of times, that of others!"

"If successful, he will naturally be several times, even dozens of times, stronger than others."

"But the likelihood of failure is also several times, even dozens of times, higher than for others!"

Xiao Zheng’s brows furrowed deeply as he said, ’I hope Long Qie can withstand this challenge. After all, even I can’t assist him during his breakthrough. Breakthroughs can only be relied upon oneself.’

Upon hearing this, Titan nodded, then turned his gaze towards Long Qie, praying and wishing him well in his heart.

"Ah..."

Long Qie bellowed, his voice laden with unimaginable agony.

Boom, boom, boom!

Explosive sounds even emanated from within his body, the result of Gang Qi impacting the flesh, which couldn’t withstand it, causing it to burst open.

For a time, flesh flew and blood splattered in a sight too horrific to endure.

Despite such circumstances, the Gang Qi within Long Qie’s body kept on generating endlessly, reaching a terrifyingly immense quantity.

It seemed that it wouldn’t stop until it had completely destroyed Long Qie!
