"This barrier has been broken..."
Half a month later, just as Wei Tu's dharma body had completely withered beyond endurance, a faint thread of vitality swiftly erupted within him.
The next moment, strange blood-red runes, obscure and steeped in a primordial aura, inexplicably appeared upon his True-Spirit Immortal Bone.
Then, these blood-red runes gathered in ever greater numbers, as though constructing some kind of "restriction." Starting from the True-Spirit Immortal Bone, they gradually spread throughout his body.
Unfortunately, in less than two days, these blood-red runes began to collapse, as if they had lost their source of power...
"It's still not enough—far from the time to truly break through to the eighth rank of body refinement." Wei Tu shook his head slightly. After using the scant body-refining blood qi remaining within him to stabilize the blood-red runes that had already formed, he promptly halted his breakthrough.
At present, he had merely used this opportunity to make a minor breakthrough into the "quasi-eighth rank." Naturally, he did not dare hope to break through to the eighth rank of body refinement in one stroke and become an Ancient Saint of Body Refinement.
For compared to the backlash of immortal power when a Fusion cultivator broke through to Mahayana, the backlash from these "body-refining blood runes" could truly take a body cultivator's life...
"Still, with these body-refining blood runes, the increase in this physical body's strength truly isn't insignificant..." Wei Tu raised a hand and clenched it, sensing the terrifying force that seemed capable of crushing the void directly. Secretly, joy rose in his heart.
At first glance, he had only broken through a minor realm.
But one was close to immortality, already half a step into becoming an Ancient Saint of Body Refinement, while the other was merely a seventh-rank body cultivator...
