Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 900: Chapter 900: Breaking Through to Martial Emperor Realm Level 8

Xue Wei’s eyes radiated an unmatched confidence.

At this moment, he was completely immersed in the impending power and victory at hand, unconcerned about any insignificant ripples.

On the other side, inside the Secret Realm.

Ye Qingchen sat cross-legged in the center of the grand hall, eyes closed, sensing the vast energy emanating from the Buddha’s Relic.

Initially, this energy flowed gently and orderly into his body, nourishing his meridians.

However, as time passed, the flow of energy became increasingly violent, like a flood beast rampaging through Ye Qingchen’s meridians.

His body seemed ignited, and all the Spiritual Power within began to surge wildly, his meridians swelling as if on the verge of splitting.

Every meridian sent a sharp pain, as if about to be torn apart.

Ye Qingchen clenched his teeth, striving to maintain inner calm, knowing this was a crucial trial.

Suddenly, in his Dantian, a small sun seemed to appear, with scorching energy quickly spreading, filling his entire being.

Ye Qingchen’s muscles tensed, sweat instantly soaked his clothes, his body trembled slightly, yet he maintained his cross-legged posture, mentally chanting the cultivation incantation.

Finally, that energy reached its peak, and Ye Qingchen’s body suddenly radiated dazzling light.

The energy in the Dantian exploded, instantly sweeping away the impurities in his meridians.

He sensed every inch of muscle and bone within him being sublimated at that moment.

At this breakthrough moment, the entire grand hall inside and outside changed dramatically, with nature’s spiritual energy rapidly converging, forming a beam of light shooting straight into the heavens.

The earth seemed to tremble, and the surrounding mountains and rivers were affected, with a thunderous rumble echoing through the world like the sky was breaking open.

The pillars of the hall creaked, as if about to be torn apart by this immense force.

Outside in the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, the clouds and winds shifted, as if the entire world was shaking for Ye Qingchen’s breakthrough.

The surrounding trees toppled one by one, the ground cracked with countless fissures, filled with intense spiritual energy fluctuations.

Ye Qingchen opened his eyes, his gaze radiating unprecedented light.

He slowly stood up, feeling the surging power within him.

Ha ha, he had broken through to a brand new Realm!

Now he had reached the Eighth Layer of Martial Emperor Realm!

The commotion inside and outside the grand hall gradually subsided, the world returned to tranquility, yet the strong Spiritual Power fluctuations continued to linger in the air.

Ye Qingchen stood in the center of the grand hall, filled with a sense of triumph.

He had once again successfully broken through, a blessing indeed from the heavens!

Moreover, all the hidden injuries inside him were healed.

On top of that, he unlocked a new ability, his body could now automatically refine demonic energy!

Ye Qingchen had only one word in his heart at this moment.

Awesome!

Yet Ye Qingchen didn’t know, at the moment of his breakthrough, the Clan’s Guardian Stone in the distant Xue Family suddenly underwent drastic changes.

This stone, symbolizing the supreme dignity and power of the Jiang Ancient Clan, originally emitted a brilliant light, like a star in the night sky, illuminating the entire family’s sacred ground.

However, now, its light abruptly dimmed, as if all its Spiritual Power and mysterious energy had vanished.

The originally shimmering glory of the Guardian Stone quickly faded, turning into an ordinary stone without luster.

The once translucent exterior gradually became dull and lackluster, with a fine layer of dust on the surface, losing its former sacred aura.

The mysterious runes that once flowed in the center of the stone also disappeared at this moment, replaced by a smooth and featureless surface.

The whole stone looked as if it had never possessed any special power, lying quietly in place, appearing extremely ordinary.

Despite the severe changes of the Guardian Stone, since no one around noticed, everything happened in silence.

Due to Xue Wei’s indifference, the Guardian Stone was placed in an annex.

Even Ah San no longer cared about this Guardian Stone.

In the large room, peace and harmony prevailed, as if everything was running as usual...

Inside the Secret Realm Ancient Temple.

The Ancient Honored One stood at a corner of the grand hall, witnessing Ye Qingchen’s earth-shattering breakthrough.

A gratified smile appeared on his face.

After everything calmed down, he slowly walked towards Ye Qingchen, his gaze full of appreciation and joy.

”Kid, you’re truly the genius I had my eye on. To achieve a breakthrough in such a short time is truly astounding.”

The Ancient Honored One’s voice was gentle, tinged with pride.

He carefully examined Ye Qingchen, seeing the powerful aura emanating from him.

Continuing, he said, ”Your perseverance and talent are unmatched. In every trial, you fearlessly faced difficulties, particularly the final Trial of the Heart, where you decisively saw through the Illusory Realm and broke through yourself, which requires immense courage.”

”And not only that, you completed the five trials I set up and reached unprecedented heights. I’m very pleased, kid, you did great.”

He gently patted Ye Qingchen’s shoulder, speaking with a hint of anticipation, ”The road ahead is long, but I believe you can surely go further. Today’s achievement is just a new starting point, keep working hard, I’m confident in you.”

Every word from the Ancient Honored One bore deep satisfaction and encouragement.

Ye Qingchen felt the genuine admiration from this unfamiliar elder, and gratitude filled his heart.

Along this journey, the Ancient Honored One’s help was quite significant.

Ye Qingchen bowed deeply, solemnly saying, ”Thank you, Ancient Honored One, without your guidance along the way, who knows how long I would have been groping around.”

The Ancient Honored One smiled and shook his head, ”Now that everything’s done, it’s time for you to go.”

Ye Qingchen quickly nodded.

He could hardly wait to go out and see what’s happening outside.

The Ancient Honored One led Ye Qingchen across the grand hall to a dim corner.

There stood an ancient and mysterious Stone Gate. The gate was about three zhang high and two zhang wide, carved entirely from a grey-black rock.

The surface was covered with traces left by the years, mottled moss and shallow cracks revealing its antiquity and vicissitudes.

At the center of the Stone Gate was an intricate and exquisite relief, depicting the solemn image of the Buddha, surrounded by peaceful lotuses and Spiritual Birds. The details of the relief were vivid, each line full of spirituality, as if recounting endless history and legends.

On either side of the Stone Gate were bronze door rings, shaped like two crouching Divine Dragons, their eyes sharp and spirited, seemingly watching every approaching person.

Above the Stone Gate, some ancient runes could faintly be seen, emitting a faint golden glow, as if guarding the mysterious power of the gate.

The Ancient Honored One gently stroked the relief on the Stone Gate, a hint of respect and nostalgia in his gaze.
