Mythical Three Kingdoms

[When detecting something amiss earlier, I used the power of Heart Spirit formed from Mahesvara belief and will. Now it’s returning to me, but it seems to be a temporary blessing. Once used, it’s completely gone.] Lyu Bu felt the abundant power of Heart Spirit within his body, and silently thought that with this level of Heart Spirit power, he could execute that strike once more.

Having never used such a level of power before, for one thing, he didn’t foresee its massive impact, and for another, he couldn’t control it. As a result, he hurt himself quite badly. Now having another opportunity to use it, Lyu Bu was confident he could wield it better; any Martial Techniques can only be perfected through constant refinement.

Gazing at the column of light piercing the sky, Lyu Bu silently took a breath. His intuition told him that perhaps his only choice now was to slay Mahesvara.

As for other options, well, they are already integrated into Mahakasyapa, and with the spirit of Mahesvara, they aren’t so easy to deal with. But there’s nothing to fear.

With Heaven and Earth Essence surging, both Sunx Ce and the Inner Qi Manifestation of the Kushan have recovered significantly. However, due to Lyu Bu’s presence, even with the essence influx, their Inner Qi recovery speed couldn’t match normal standards, with Lyu Bu forcefully plundering most of it.

Seeing the situation, Zhou Tai immediately pulled Sunx Ce to Lyu Bu’s side. Lyu Bu silently nodded towards the two, indicating gratitude for their previous assistance.

Sunx Ce felt the pressure emanating from the towering column of light opposite, his expression subtly heavy, no longer as audacious as before. This column of light is nearly a hallmark of Breakthrough Level masters, only created by the outstanding among them.

In the domain of the Han Dynasty, newlywed Zhao Yun had an odd expression, gazing southward. His perception was strengthening with his power, and faintly he detected Breakthrough Level Qi resonating far from him.

”How strange, an unfamiliar Breakthrough Level. Who could that be?” Zhao Yun muttered to himself, somewhat puzzled.

”Husband, what’s wrong?” Lyu Qiling glanced around the courtyard, finding nothing amiss.

”I sensed a strange aura, most likely a Breakthrough Level military general, pretty strong.” Zhao Yun pondered before speaking.

Lyu Qiling brushed her hair and tapped Zhao Yun’s shoulder, ”Husband, I think you should spar with General Guan and General Huang more often.”

”Alright, I don’t have much to do anyway.” Zhao Yun replied with a smile. Since Lyu Qiling married him recently, she inexplicably showed a kind of anxiety, a restlessness wishing for him to strengthen quickly.

Zhao Yun felt a bit helpless; truth be told, he was already at Eight Revolutions of Inner Qi. Taking another step in Qi Burst Boundary, surely he’d be king, there are no Qi Burst Boundary challengers able to defeat him. But since Lyu Qiling wants him stronger, he’ll do it, not having much else to do, and strength-building is simple.

”Brother Yun, you must strive hard.” Lyu Qiling felt anxious. When she married Zhao Yun, she hadn’t informed her father, only her second mother. Lyu Qiling thought, if her father descends to the mortal realm again, both she and Zhao Yun could face dire consequences.

Lyu Qiling’s words with a touch of melancholy left Zhao Yun perplexed; really, while Zhao Yun doesn’t confidently claim he’s the strongest in the Central Plains, he assures that in the current situation, if the strongest from the Central Plains came picking a quarrel, he wouldn’t be afraid. What’s the significance of becoming stronger?

”I’ll do my best.” Although he couldn’t comprehend the reasoning, Zhao Yun decided to strive temporarily for his little wife’s suggestion, at least maintaining Breakthrough Level strength.

”Brother Yun, you’re here.” Ma Yunlu appeared suddenly, glancing at Lyu Qiling and smirking, ”Marquis Chen sent someone to inform you to go to the Political Office for inspection duties.”

On hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded, bid farewell to the two, then departed, completely unaware his father-in-law would soon return for revenge.

”Marquis Wenn, shall we retreat, or...?” Zhou Tai gazed solemnly ahead; he lacked any Inner Qi, relying solely on Heaven and Earth Essence to push his physical strength. Previously, Lyu Bu suppressing Heaven and Earth Essence greatly impacted Zhou Tai’s power, his body exceedingly close to Refined Realm Breaker, yet unable to exert effective close-quarters strength.

It’s said that if Zhou Tai could restore Inner Qi similar to Dian Wei, even a small amount, those daring to engage Zhou Tai in close combat would meet a fatal end.

Now with the essence flowing in, Zhou Tai’s power once again neared Refined Realm Breaker, his physical absolute strength could manifest again, so at this moment, Zhou Tai faced Kushan’s experts without pressure.

Among Breakthrough methods, Refined Realm Breaker’s power is the strongest in close quarters; each punch and kick carries tremendous might, but the scant Inner Qi limits flight, forcing steps into void space, generally avoiding close combat with body cultivation experts.

Compared to other body cultivators, Zhou Tai’s situation was worse; lacking Inner Qi, his techniques depended on Heaven and Earth Essence quelling Lyu Bu’s restrictions previously subjected him to humiliating suppression.

”Hey, besides Dian Wei the barbarian, I found another Refined Realm Breaker.” Lyu Bu glanced at Zhou Tai; earlier, amidst the battle with Mahakasyapa, he overlooked Zhou Tai, but now seeing Zhou Tai beside him, he discerned Zhou Tai’s condition instantly.

Zhou Tai shook his head without responding. His body screened Lyu Bu’s perception; otherwise, Lyu Bu would have realized the emptiness within him, although possessing Inner Qi, he could class as Refined Realm Breaker, yet lacking that Inner Qi.

”You stay alert; that Mahesvara split from my will; I need to kill him and perhaps reclaim the power of Heart Spirit. His strength is profound.” Lyu Bu seldom advised Sunx Ce, whom he always admired.

Additionally, Lyu Bu also admired Ma Chao, but Ma Chao’s frequent reckless behavior testing patience sometimes infuriated Lyu Bu, hence relatively he favored Sunx Ce more.

”Marquis Wenn, are your injuries severe?” Sunx Ce on the Flying Yellow Horse noticed Lyu Bu’s wounds, faintly realizing Lyu Bu’s current state wasn’t optimal. Except for the weighty pressure when his gaze swept over them, in other regards, Lyu Bu was definitely not in good shape.

”It’s nothing, not life-threatening.” Lyu Bu spoke as he used Inner Qi to sort out his wounds. His condition was indeed troublesome, but relatively speaking, as long as he’s alive, he’s invincible in the world!
