Ascension Realm Fifth Layer, a natural progression.
Han Xuanji's Comprehension Ability of various Great Dao Laws had already reached an extremely high level, far surpassing his surface Realm.
On one hand, his Comprehension Ability was extremely high, and on the other hand, it was the marvelous use of his double pupils; the profound changes of the Heavenly Dao Laws were quite clear in his eyes now.
At this moment.
Immortal Spiritual Qi surged within Han Xuanji's body, and his Realm rapidly stabilized.
Unlike ordinary people's Breakthroughs.
Although Han Xuanji had just broken through, his aura quickly became steady, and he quickly gained control over the surging power from his recent Breakthrough.
However, this was just the beginning.
Han Xuanji could feel some kind of Breakthrough occurring within his body, but it seemed to be obstructed by something.
"Eat another one."
Han Xuanji didn't hesitate and took out another nine thousand year pan tao.
If Wind Leisurely Master saw this scene, he would probably be dumbfounded.
Because he had only picked a dozen three thousand year pan tao in the medicine garden for thousands of years.
He had only read about this nine thousand year pan tao in the ancient records of the Kunlun Immortal Sect. Legend had it that each one could create an Ascended Immortal, making them extremely precious, treasures whose value could not be measured.
This pan tao ancient tree was also an Opportunity unique to the Kunlun Immortal Sect; even the other great Holy Lands didn't have it, and it was even unique in the entire Spirit Realm.
If the aura of the nine thousand year pan tao in Han Xuanji's hand had leaked out, who knows how many hidden Ascension Realm powerhouses it would attract.
Han Xuanji slowly bit into the fruit pulp. The immense Origin power contained within the nine thousand year pan tao now transformed into an ancient key, precisely piercing into a tightly closed door deep within Han Xuanji's Bloodline.
"Boom!"
When Han Xuanji ate the last bite of the fruit pulp.
Deep within his body, it was as if the divine thunder of Chaos's beginning had exploded.
A vast, ancient aura emerged around Han Xuanji, like an ancient sleeping Heavenly God being awakened.
If Han Xuanji hadn't already set up a Heavenly Dao great formation to seal off the Qi of this place, this phenomenon would have likely alarmed the entire Central Continent.
"Hoo..."
Han Xuanji exhaled a hot breath.
Beneath his skin, countless mysterious and unfathomable Bloodline runes suddenly appeared.
These runes were Innate, imprinted in his Bloodline and bones, emitting a rhythm that resonated with the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao.
Each flicker stirred the dormant power deep within his Bloodline.
His bones hummed, and his flesh cheered.
Han Xuanji clearly felt that his already powerful Physical Body was still getting stronger; this was an enhancement of his Bloodline's essence.
"This is the Archaic Human Race Bloodline."
Han Xuanji's mind was greatly shaken.
Legend has it that when the Heavenly Dao first opened and Chaos was still unclear.
Divine Devils roamed freely, and Innate beings absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, inherently knowing the Dao of cultivation and possessing great power.
And the Archaic Human Race was not Innate deities, nor Chaos Divine Devils, but they were not weak either.
The ancestor of the Human Race, inheriting the essence and Bloodline of Divine Devils, was born in response to destiny, their form conforming to the Great Dao, with infinite potential.
However, as years passed and the Heavenly Dao changed, the Great Dao became obscure, and the Human Race multiplied. The Innate Dao Body Origin from the primordial ancestors had long since become dormant and obscured in countless Bloodline dilutions, turning into a vague legend.
In reality, everyone's Bloodline harbors immense potential; it just depends on whether it can be unearthed.
Immortal descendants merely activate the potential that was originally hidden.
This is also why some Human Race 'waste materials' can rise.
And now, the life Origin power contained within this nine thousand year pan tao has activated the Origin imprint within Han Xuanji's body.
This is also because Han Xuanji's current Physique is already quite extraordinary. The existence of the Myriad Laws Immortal Body and his double pupils are already external manifestations of his Archaic Bloodline's talent.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be this simple.
As the power originating from deep within his Bloodline gradually subsided, his spiritual power flowed with an unprecedented weight, every drop of blood carrying a magnificent power.
Han Xuanji slowly opened his eyes.
Deep in his eyes, profound star rivers still flowed. In the depths of those star rivers, it seemed to reflect the chaotic light and shadow of creation, and his entire being exuded an ancient Qi.
Brand new blood replaced his original blood. His Human Race Bloodline had returned to its Origin, and his Bloodline potential had far surpassed some ancient exotic species, comparable to True Dragons and Divine Phoenixes.
Normal adult True Dragons and True Phoenixes are only at the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
And Han Xuanji felt that he, too, could easily grow to the True Immortal Realm just by breathing and circulating his Qi.
"Moreover, this is an all-around increase in strength, and my cultivation speed is also faster."
Han Xuanji silently perceived the changes within himself.
The Archaic Human Race Bloodline made his perception of the Great Dao even more acute.
Even while in the Lower Realm, he seemed able to touch the profound mysteries of the Supreme Great Dao.
However, none of this made him arrogant.
With the existence of his Heart of Seeking the Dao, Han Xuanji's state of mind cultivation had always been stable. There was no need to worry about his Realm advancing too quickly and losing his original self.
It saved him the process of tempering his heart in the Mortal World.
Wind Leisurely Master's continuous management of Spirit Medicine in the Immortal Medicine Garden was actually also a process of tempering his heart.
...
At the same time, in an ancient domain somewhere in Eastern Azure Continent.
Li Taiqing, Lu Fan, Nangong Wenjian, Lin Potian, and Xie Liuyun were fiercely battling a black shadow.
The opponent was precisely the inheritor of the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Technique, who had caused a bloody storm in the cultivation world.
The so-called Heaven-Devouring Demonic Technique was incredibly bizarre. Those who mastered it could devour others' cultivation and vital Qi, growing rapidly.
Some people who learned this Demonic Technique could transform from a Golden Core Cultivator into a Soul Transformation Cultivator in a short period.
Such terrifying growth speed instantly drove countless Cultivators mad.
However, this kind of Cultivation Technique clearly had significant problems; it was an obvious evil technique. Some people who practiced it easily suffered Qi Deviation, losing their sense of kinship and even sacrificing their closest friends and family, euphemistically calling it 'journeying to the Great Dao together'.
It had appeared in the Central Continent many years ago and had been jointly sanctioned by the four great Holy Lands.
However, in recent years, a new wave of Demonic Technique madness inexplicably surged again, but this time in the Eastern Azure Continent.
And the black shadow before them seemed to be the mastermind behind it. His strength was not overly exaggerated, merely at the Late Stage Body Integration Cultivation, and his Foundation was extremely unstable, completely lacking the strength of a normal Late Stage Body Integration Realm.
"Devil Head, you spread this Cultivation Technique; today is the day of your demise!"
Lin Potian roared, his giant hammer striking with the power to split mountains.
His Overlord Physique had Awakened, and his Physique far surpassed Cultivators of the same Realm, comparable to some great demons. Moreover, the more severe his injuries, the stronger his recovery ability became, and the more it stimulated his desire to fight.
Even with only Soul Transformation Cultivation, he dared to charge first against a Body Integration powerhouse.
Nangong Wenjian and Lu Fan, from a distance, continuously interfered with their Flying Swords.
Li Taiqing acted as support in the center, his Immortal Sword stirring the wind and clouds, his Sword Qi grand and righteous. With him making a move, the opponent could only resist with difficulty.
Xie Liuyun's body glowed with spiritual light, also possessing extremely strong combat power.
The Cultivation of these individuals was no longer what it used to be. They cooperated tacitly, facing this powerful enemy without falling behind, even gaining the upper hand and gradually pushing the opponent to a dead end.
"Damn it, how were they found?"
The Demonic Technique inheritor was speechless. He didn't understand how he was found so quickly after hiding so well.
It seemed he wouldn't be able to complete the task assigned by his Sect.
However, he had already sent the message back to his Sect, so it didn't matter if this Clone died.
Boom!
Xie Liuyun found a flaw and activated an ancient talisman obtained from Kunlun, and golden light surged!
The Demonic Technique inheritor screamed as his protective Devilish Qi was temporarily suppressed.
"Now's the time, Nine Tribulation Immortal Execution Sword Formation!"
Li Taiqing seized this rare Opportunity.
The long sword in his hand burst with dazzling Immortal light, instantly transforming into countless Flying Swords, and terrifying sword shadows slashed across the sky.
The Demonic Technique inheritor was instantly unable to parry. A hole appeared in his chest, and his life force rapidly drained away.
However, just before he died, he strangely revealed a faint smile:
"Just wait, the people from my Heaven-Devouring Demonic Sect will be here soon."
