Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

Chapter 594 Experiment [Part Three]

A thick, pungent smell of blood filled the air, lingering in everyone's nostrils.

Everyone held their breath at the sight before them.

Apart from Hu Qi.

Even Fenghuang and the other two looked extremely grim.

Killing is not something that no one has ever experienced.

Even Fenghuang, who had never left the Tianlin tribe, had been arranged by the tribe.

He fought against the savage beasts and ferocious creatures imprisoned in cages.

That was a trial set up by the tribe to train its young members, with levels based on strength, and a life-or-death struggle.

But this time, it's completely different.

Shi Lin, the prodigy of the Tianlin tribe, died just like them.

Like an ant that is easily crushed, quick and decisive.

They had no power to resist at all.

This is the shock of death so close at hand.

It gives one a sense of mutual dependence and vulnerability.

It's like how humans don't feel anything when they see ants die under their feet, but feel fear when they see their own kind die.

At this moment, no matter how talented or exceptional they are, they are all powerless in the face of such an absolute disparity in strength.

Under the oppressive aura of this unknown powerful being at the Barbarian Realm level.

Everyone, along with the celestial horse they were riding, was trapped in mid-air.

Even escaping is a luxury.

They could only look up in fear at this pitch-black Dharma image.

"Brother, this time... I'm afraid we're really doomed!"

Phoenix's voice came from beside him, her tone trembling with barely suppressed emotion.

Her face was slightly pale.

But then, as if she had thought of something, she took a deep breath, and as if she had made up her mind, her voice suddenly became resolute.

"Father, Mother... I am an unfilial child, and I will not be able to fulfill my filial duties in this life."

Before she finished speaking, her double pupils trembled, and intricate, eerie crimson scale-like patterns appeared on her fair face.

The aura emanating from his body began to surge wildly.

"Brother, we can't both die here. I'll hold them off for a bit and buy some time. Don't worry about anything else, just leave now!"

She was actually preparing to burn the bloodline within her own body.

This is an ability unique to those with pure bloodlines.

By burning one's bloodline, one can transform into the very source of that bloodline, thereby greatly enhancing one's strength in a short period of time.

However, while this method can bring immense power, it also comes at an irreparable cost.

Once you take that step, death is inevitable.

"While your courage is commendable, don't make it sound like a life-or-death situation; you can't stop it."

Just then, Hu Qi's calm voice rang in Feng Huang's ears.

This caused Feng Huang's initial resolve to sacrifice herself to falter, and the restless power of her bloodline within her abruptly subsided.

"Big brother, don't try to take it from me. I know you're better than me, but..."

Phoenix was somewhat dissatisfied.

Normally it wouldn't be a problem.

She was on the verge of death, ready to sacrifice herself, and instead of comforting her, her older brother was just adding insult to injury.

However, she hadn't finished speaking.

next second.

After killing Shi Lin, the masked man with the white bones did not attack them as expected. Instead, he didn't even look at them before his figure flashed away.

He vanished from everyone's sight.

Almost at the same time.

The three elders who had been blasted away reappeared.

Each person took out a powerful magical treasure, and their aura surged once again.

They actually used their most trump card.

"That person is gone?!"

See this scene.

The tense crowd finally relaxed.

His gaze turned toward the direction where Shi Lin had died.

The powerful barbarian cultivator at the Barbarian Phase Realm appeared here simply to kill Shi Lin?!
This seems a bit illogical.

Logically speaking, regardless of who the target is, since the other party has already made a move, there should be no holding back; they should be eliminated completely, leaving no one alive.

But in any case, being able to survive is a stroke of luck for everyone.

"This place is not safe to stay any longer. Let's leave immediately!"

Of the three, the elder with the strongest power spoke up.

This person was an old acquaintance of Hu Qi.

It was Pan Lou who had previously escorted Hu Qi and his companion to the Tianlin tribe.

At this moment, his expression was solemn.

After all, no one can predict whether the other party will return.

……

However, no one knows.

It was by a stream, a hundred miles away from everyone else.

A figure suddenly appeared.

It was the skeleton masked man who had just left.

At that moment, a ball of flame suddenly burst into flames around him.

The excruciating pain made him tremble all over.

A brief moment of clarity returned to his eyes as he recalled everything that had happened before, feeling as if his actions were out of his control.

"I……"

He had barely opened his mouth when...

In an instant, he turned to ashes.

A powerful barbarian cultivator at the Barbarian Realm died just like that.

……

Soon, as time went by, it grew dark.

Due to the dangers of the wilderness at night, the group did not continue forward but instead found an area to rest for the night.

During this period.

Wukan, the chieftain of the Tianlin tribe, personally came to this place.

His expression was one of rare rage.

Even after using the Eight Desolate Sky-Gazing Mirror, and given that the opponent was being controlled by Hu Qi, their aura was not cleared at all.

This also alerted Wukan to a clue.

"Xuanzhen Tribe, Xuanman? You're really something!"

A chilling killing intent flashed in Wukan's eyes.

He never imagined that someone would actually dare to attack and kill the genius of his Tianlin tribe in broad daylight.

Although Shi Lin's aptitude cannot compare with Feng Huang's, he is still the publicly recognized prodigy of the Tianlin tribe and one of the three with true bloodline aptitude.

The death of the other party was a huge loss for the Tianlin tribe.

This matter certainly cannot be left unresolved.

He will make the Xuanzhen tribe pay the price!
Since the other party has started this, don't blame him for being shameless.

It's not that Wukan couldn't do something like attacking a junior member of a tribe at the level of a Savage Realm cultivator.

However, he did not leave immediately, but stayed by Hu Qi and the others' side.

The next morning, after a simple meal of dry rations, they set off again, continuing until noon.

Under the personal escort of Wukan, a being of the Barbarian Realm.

Everyone arrived safely at their destination.

After doing all this.

Wukan then left the group.

Within the Holy City, it is naturally impossible for any assassination attempt to occur.

But even so.

Wukan also left each of them a magical treasure for protection, which could be activated if needed.

It can also unleash an attack comparable to that of a Savage Realm expert.

holy city.

Standing in the heart of the Great Wilderness, it is magnificent and imposing, its area far exceeding that of ordinary tribes.

Looking down from the sky, the dark clouds hung low, and the inky mist pressed down like a giant wave, which only accentuated the grandeur and magnificence of this ancient city.

The walls were made of endless black gold stone, shimmering with a cold, metallic light, towering into the clouds, like a giant standing tall and casting a vast shadow on the desolate land.

The city walls stretch out like rolling hills, with a grand and rugged layout, carrying a wild and untamed atmosphere unique to the wilderness.

Surrounding the main city are countless scattered villages and small tribes, like rivers flowing into the sea and stars surrounding the moon.

They are connected by a wide dirt and stone road, where occasionally huge savage beasts pull chariots and gallop by, raising clouds of dust.

Even when the sky was dim and shrouded in gloom, the entire holy city did not appear oppressive; instead, it gained a profound and mysterious aura.

The black stone walls glowed faintly under the gray sky, and pillars of qi and smoke rose from the city, shattering the clouds.

In Hu Qi's view, the entire holy city seemed to have come to life, subtly drawing in the essence of heaven and earth, continuously absorbing it.

"Is it the power of an array?"

His eyes flickered slightly as he thought to himself.

Although this vast wilderness is still in a primitive state, as the barbarians continue to explore and utilize power, they will inevitably touch upon various practical applications of the power of heaven and earth.

Both the barbarian runes that appeared in the previous duel arena and the holy city that breathes in and out essence before us belong to this category.

Although the latter was much more profound and complex than the former, in Hu Qi's eyes it still seemed rather crude, barely touching the threshold of formations.

Hu Qi and his group arrived.

Then a special person was assigned to receive them and invite them to their residence.

Those qualified to come here are all the most outstanding figures from various tribes. Even the Holy City cannot be neglected.

After the dinner.

Everyone returned to their own residences.

However, no one noticed.

After it got completely dark.

A figure left the residence silently.

Heading towards the Holy Palace, the very heart of the Holy City.

……

now.

Inside the Holy Palace, the very heart of the Holy City.

Deep within the secluded palace, a towering figure sat silently in meditation.

The figure had white hair but an extremely youthful appearance, giving people a sense of contradiction.

With each breath he took, it was like a whale swallowing the sea, causing the surrounding air currents to roar and surge, faintly emitting a booming sound like dragons and tigers roaring together, with an astonishing momentum.

"...Still can't break through?"

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, his deep voice echoing in the silence.

Wu Tu is the lord of the holy city in this desolate land. His cultivation has long stood at the pinnacle of the Savage Phase Realm, and he is only one step away from reaching the Savage Spirit Realm.

But this line is like an insurmountable gap.

Despite a century of arduous cultivation and the passage of time, he remains trapped before this barrier, unable to take that final step.

"The Savage Spirit Realm... what kind of scenery is it?!"

Wu Tu sighed softly, his voice revealing a hint of longing and melancholy that he could not hide.

As the lord of the Holy City, the secrets he knew far exceeded what ordinary barbarian cultivators could comprehend.

Throughout the history of the Holy City, there have indeed been city lords who broke through to the Savage Spirit Realm and stepped into that legendary domain.

Strangely, none of those beings left behind a single word, as if they had completely vanished from this world.

The only speculation is that they have transcended this realm and gone to the distant land where the barbarian gods reside.

Because the primal gods are not fictitious, but real beings.

However, for some unknown reason, it is no longer in the Great Wilderness World.

"Unfortunately, this breakthrough failed, and I suffered a backlash."

To fully recover and attempt to break through to the Savage Spirit Realm again... it will probably take several decades.

Wu Tu let out a long sigh, his tone filled with regret and resentment.

However, at this moment,

A calm voice rang out without warning:
"You want to break through? I might be able to help you."

The sound of the afternoon painting abruptly stopped.

He suddenly looked up, his gaze sharp as lightning, and shouted sternly:
"Bold! Who is it?!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a shadowy area deep within the hall suddenly rippled, and a figure slowly emerged from it.

The newcomer was dressed in a wide black robe, tall in stature, but with an extremely rugged face.

"You don't need to care who I am. Just know that I can help you break through to the Barbarian Spirit realm!"

The man in black robes smiled and spoke.

"Help me break through to the Barbarian Spirit realm? What a boastful tone!!"

Wu Tu spoke coldly.

"I don't care who you are, leave now and I won't hold it against you!"

In his perception.

They couldn't detect the slightest aura emanating from the other person.

With such abilities, one must at least be at the same level as him.

He couldn't see through.

That's why they didn't want to provoke too many people.

"Heh! That's not up to you!"

The man chuckled softly.

The moment the words left his mouth.

It was as if the whole person had shrunk to an inch.

He appeared directly in front of Wu Tu.

See this scene.

The pupils of the noon figure suddenly contracted.

The void behind him rippled, and a Dharma image was about to manifest.

But the next second.

But it bursts like a bubble.

--Snapped!

Then, a large hand landed directly on Wu Tu's head.

This moment.

Wu Tu's body was stiff and he could not move an inch.

"This person's strength is terrifying! Am I doomed to perish here today?!"

"Don't panic, I told you I'm here to help you!"

A man's voice sounded.

at the same time.

hum!
The primordial energy of heaven and earth converged wildly like a tidal wave.

Wu Tu was surprised to find that the internal injuries he had suffered from the failed breakthrough had healed completely.

At the same time, the power within his body began to surge once more.

No time to think too much.

He immediately began to circulate his internal energy.

If this violent power doesn't find an outlet, he will explode and die.

During this time.

The black-robed figure who had been holding down his head had disappeared without a trace.

Furthermore, in Wu Tu's cognition and memory, the memory of the man in black robes also faded, as if he had never appeared.

……

Inside the hall, in a shadowy spot.

The black-robed man who had just disappeared was standing here.

There seemed to be an invisible barrier around him, isolating him from everything.

This person was none other than Hu Qi.

He came to this holy city.

The purpose is to verify what happens when a barbarian cultivator in this world breaks through to the Barbarian Spirit Realm.

Think of this.

His gaze was fixed on the breaking point of noon.

Barbarian Spirit is the pinnacle of the Barbarian Cultivation path.

Even with the bloodline of a divine beast, breaking through is not so simple.

Otherwise, the midday chart wouldn't have failed so many times.

But things are different now.

With Hu Qi's help.

This barrier is as thin as paper; it can be torn with a single poke.

Runes of light appeared all around it.

The surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) was frantically absorbed into Wu Tu's body.

The atmosphere of the afternoon painting is rising.

Ultimately, it became stable.

This moment.

The aura belonging to the Savage Spirit Realm spread out.

Almost all the barbarian cultivators in the entire holy city noticed this.

"This aura actually made me, a Savage Soul Realm cultivator, tremble slightly."

"What the hell is that?!"

"Wait, could it be that Lord Wu Tu has broken through to the Barbarian Spirit level?!"

……

A series of surprised and suspicious gazes turned towards the location of the Holy Palace.

Among them were many powerful barbarian cultivators from within the Holy City.

In an instant, he guessed what had happened.

A look of ecstasy flashed across their faces.

They prepared to head towards this place.

However, at this moment.

The heavens and earth suddenly trembled violently, and the rules of nature froze.

The flow of time in this region seemed to have been severed by an invisible giant hand, falling into complete stagnation.

All living beings were frozen in place, their thoughts immobilized for a moment, like mosquitoes and flies trapped in amber, remaining in the same position as just moments before.

And in this world.

Only Hu Qi remained completely unaffected.

At this moment, it was in his line of sight.

A beam of light appeared.

It pierced directly through the palace dome, revealing the boundless night sky above and something else.

I saw what that thing looked like.

Even Hu Qi couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
