Chapter 578: Lei Donghai’s Breakthrough

Translator: jinzeffect

Looking at the black whirlpool ahead, the four of them hesitated slightly but still entered.

After going through a spinning world, the four of them arrived in a place where violent winds were howling.

This place was extremely dusky. The wind was black and when it blew across the body, it felt like slashes from countless blades. Apart from Yuan Long, the three others, including Li Fuchen, had blood wounds on their bodies. Especially Lei Donghai and Gu Jiuye who were caught off guard, resulting in a few bone-deep wounds on their bodies.

Without a choice, the trio immediately circulated their technique intent and put up qi protection.

“We have arrived at a deeper layer of the Latent Shadow Abyss.” Li Fuchen let out a sigh and didn’t look great.

Lower layers of Latent Shadow Abyss had a restriction on Primary Sea Realm monarchs and the environments weren’t as harsh. Higher layers of Latent Shadow Abyss were simply nightmares for Battle Spirit Realm masters. Putting everything aside, just the black wind was enough to exhaust any amount of qi after a certain period of time. It was basically impossible to stay in this place for a long time.

“We are truly downright unlucky. What should we do now?” Lei Donghai couldn’t help but turn to look at Li Fuchen. Yuan Long and Gu Jiuye had also looked at Li Fuchen.

Unknowingly, Li Fuchen had already become this team’s leader. Be it his strength or charisma, everyone was convinced.

Li Fuchen said, “Senior Lei, if you are to break through now, how confident are you?”

Lei Donghai hesitated and said, “Around 70% to 80%. Mainly because I don’t know the actual effects of the high-grade spirit stones. Perhaps it might be more, but it might be lesser too.”

Li Fuchen said, “This place is still considered safe. Why don’t we cultivate here first and strive to increase our strength.”

“Okay, let’s do so.” Lei Donghai nodded.

He felt that his strength was too weak. He couldn’t even protect himself in the lower layers of the Latent Shadow Abyss, let alone being in the higher layers of the Latent Shadow Abyss.

If his cultivation could break through to the Primary Sea Realm, everything would be different. Even if he couldn’t guarantee his own life, he would still have the strength to fight back.

Just like that, the four of them searched for a relatively safe place to begin their cultivation.

“Let me increase my cultivation to the 6th level of Battle Spirit Realm first.”

After so many days, Li Fuchen had already stabilized at the 5th level of Battle Spirit Realm. Right now, he still had a Spirit Ascension Elixir that was enough for him to reach the 6th level of Battle Spirit Realm.

After circulating the Divine Flame Red Rainbow Technique for nine times, Li Fuchen consumed the Spirit Ascension Elixir.

Boom!

If the qi within Li Fuchen’s body was a bundle of flames, then the Spirit Ascension Elixir was like oil that splashed on the flames, making it burn several times stronger.

5th level of Battle Spirit Realm, middle stage... later stage... peak stage.

Li Fuchen’s cultivation was advancing step by step and in just less than one hour, he had advanced from the initial stage of 5th level Battle Spirit Realm, to the peak stage.

At this moment, only half of the Spirit Ascension Elixir’s medicinal effects had been used up. The rest of the medicinal effects would certainly be enough for Li Fuchen to reach the 6th level of Battle Spirit Realm.

“Too slow.”

Li Fuchen took out a high-grade spirit stone and started to absorb the spirit qi within.

Spirit qi that contained the great dao qi presence had entered his body. Li Fuchen’s cultivation was able to break through to the 6th level of Battle Spirit Realm without any obstructions. He then immediately advanced for the middle stage of 6th level Battle Spirit Realm.

Two hours later, Li Fuchen’s cultivation stagnated at the peak stage of 6th level Battle Spirit Realm.

At this moment, the high-grade spirit stone’s spirit qi had been completely absorbed.

“The high-grade spirit stone is truly incredible.” Li Fuchen was amazed.

If he didn’t use the high-grade spirit stone, the Spirit Ascension Elixir would only be able to increase his cultivation to the middle stage of 6th level Battle Spirit Realm.

The high-grade spirit stones might only have spirit qi that was a few hundred times more than mid-grade spirit stones, but the purity was much higher and was at least five times purer than mid-grade spirit stones.

After absorbing the spirit qi within the mid-grade spirit stones, there was a need to further purify the qi. However, there wasn’t a need to do so when absorbing spirit qi from the high-grade spirit stones.

Li Fuchen reckoned that the effects from the high-grade spirit stone was at least equivalent to 5000 mid-grade spirit stones.

The great dao qi presence in the high-grade spirit stone had yet to be calculated in.

The great dao qi presence might not be able to increase cultivation directly, it was able to improve Li Fuchen’s cultivation mental state.

Li Fuchen opened his eyes to look at Lei Donghai and the others.

The trio absorbed high-grade spirit stones at a much higher rate than Li Fuchen. Especially Lei Donghai who had already completely absorbed several high-grade spirit stones. At the same time, there was a trace of dictating heaven and earth qi presence that was gradually spreading out.

“Is he about to break through?” Li Fuchen carefully observed the changes on Lei Donghai.

Primary Sea Realm martial artists were called monarchs for a reason.

When the cultivation reached the Primary Sea Realm, it wasn’t just the cultivation that would have a qualitative change, the mental state would also have a qualitative change. If the cultivation realms before the Primary Sea Realm were mortal mental states, then after reaching the Primary Sea Realm, one would have a trace of mental state that dictated heaven and earth.

With the mental state that dicated heaven and earth, Primary Sea Realm monarchs were able to control a portion of the nature power and use it to suppress foes.

As high-grade spirit stones were completely absorbed one after the other, Lei Donghai’s dictating qi presence was getting stronger.

At this moment, Yuan Long and Gu Jiuye had awakened from their cultivation state. Similar to Li Fuchen, they were carefully observing the changes in Lei Donghai’s body. They were already close to the Primary Sea Realm and observing the birth of a Primary Sea Realm monarch was rather beneficial to them.

After absorbing 18 high-grade spirit stones, Lei Donghai’s dictating qi presence had reached a limit. Li Fuchen could gradually feel that the chaotic laws in the Latent Shadow Abyss were slightly tamed by the dictating qi presence.

Li Fuchen reckoned that the qi presence should be the fusion of cultivation and the comprehension of laws with the help of the mental state. It was able to resist or control a portion of the laws in the Latent Shadow Abyss.

Rumble!

Thunderous clouds gathered above them and thick thunderbolts struck down on Lei Donghai.

When a Battle Spirit Realm master progressed to the Primary Sea Realm, they would have to withstand a calamity that was related to the laws they comprehended.

Lei Donghai comprehended the thunder dao laws, therefore, he had to withstand the thunder dao calamity.

After a few rounds of thunderbolt, the thunderous clouds in the sky had turned into a funnel.

Bang!

A giant thunder hammer suddenly flew out and smashed on Lei Donghai’s body.

Lei Donghai didn’t just comprehend the thunder dao laws, he had also comprehended the hammer dao laws.

The hammer dao laws might not be one of the natural laws, but it was still within the great dao. During the calamity, the great dao would materialize the hammer dao laws and smash on Lei Donghai.

Fresh blood oozed out from Lei Donghai’s mouth. He then stood up and wielded the giant hammer to repel the thunder hammer.

Boom Boom Boom Boom...

A battle against heaven and earth had unfolded in front of the trio, allowing them to have comprehension towards the path of martial dao.

Finally, the final thunder hammer crumbled and turned into pure qi which fused into Lei Donghai’s body, allowing Lei Donghai to break through.

Just like a lake expanding into the sea, Lei Donghai’s qi presence constantly increased. All of the thunder dao qi within dozens of miles were all involuntarily gathered. Li Fuchen and the others felt an intense pressure.

“Such immense pressure.” Yuan Long had a change of expression.

Gu Jiuye said “When a lake expands to a certain extent, it could also affect the weather. The sea is the dictator of the weather and would constantly affect the weather. The amount of qi in the Primary Sea Realm is extraordinary and is at least several tens of times of ours. With the mental state of a monarch, the control of nature power would be easy and everything within a certain radius would be the monarch’s favorable field. Before reaching the Primary Sea Realm, martial artists would be affected by heaven and earth. After reaching the Primary Sea Realm, martial artists would start to affect heaven and earth.”

Li Fuchen nodded in agreement. Primary Sea Realm monarch’s qi was simply overwhelming. When the qi were extremely concentrated, it would naturally affect heaven and earth, therefore, it was easy to control a portion of the nature power.

When the qi presence climbed to a limit, an invisible suction was created. In the next moment, most of the qi presence vanished and blended into Lei Donghai’s body.

Lei Donghai laughed heartily, “I have finally entered the Primary Sea Realm. I feel that I can even grasp my own fate.”

Lei Donghai naturally knew that even a Primary Sea Realm monarch wouldn’t be able to control their own fate. But the surge of power was so excessive that it created an illusion. The excitement of breakthrough had made his emotions stirred up.

Yuan Long said with envy, “Lei Donghai, congratulations. You should be the first person in the Red Rainbow Sect’s youth generation to step into Primary Sea Realm. Your future is limitless.”

Yuan Long might be speaking like this, but he was extremely envious and wished he could break through immediately. With enough high-grade spirit stones, he believed that he didn’t need a lot of time to break through to the Primary Sea Realm, at most half a year.

“Senior Lei, I wonder what level of strength do you have now?” Li Fuchen was rather interested in Lei Donghai’s current strength.

Lei Donghai might have just broken through and was only at the 1st level of Primary Sea Realm, but he was a formidable great master. Now that he broke through, he wouldn’t just be a regular low-level monarch. In terms of mental state and bone frame, regular monarchs wouldn’t be comparable with him. Putting aside everything else, Li Fuchen felt that Lei Donghai’s qi quantity was far more than the Earth Fire Monarch he had encountered previously. Li Fuchen reckoned that the higher the bone frame’s star grade, the stronger the mental state, the more qi a body could store.

Therefore, Lei Donghai’s strength must be far superior to the Earth Fire Monarch. As for the level of strength, Lei Donghai wasn’t sure either.

Gu Jiuye said, “Senior Lei, there is a peak-class berserk corpse there. You can test your strength.”

Lei Donghai’s breakthrough had a huge commotion and it attracted a lot of berserk corpses. There was a peak-class berserk corpse among the herd and it was charging at the front.

“Alright.”

Lei Donghai flashed like a thunderbolt and appeared in front of the peak-class berserk corpse in an instant.

“Such speed.”

Li Fuchen’s eyes contracted. Lei Donghai’s current speed was much faster than Li Fuchen and it was even faster than berserk corpse kings. It was almost the same speed as that two-headed berserk corpse king.

“Die!”

When Lei Donghai swung the giant hammer, his arm vanished before suddenly bursting out with thunderous power.

Subsequently, the peak-class berserk corpse’s head was smashed apart and its body turned into char.

A single hammer smash to kill a peak-class berserk corpse.

This level of strength was definitely at the level of a heaven class master, which was also the 3-star general.

Even Chu Wu, who was one of the northern top five generals, and Lin Shou who had pseudo-heaven class cardinal artifacts weren’t able to deal severe damage to peak-class berserk corpses, while Lei Donghai was actually able to kill them in a single hammer. Li Fuchen naturally wouldn’t believe it if someone told him that Lei Donghai wasn’t at the level of a heaven class master or 3-star general.
