Chapter 1113: 1112. Breakthrough Momentum
Strictly speaking,
Every breakthrough was about breaking a balance.
Then, on the foundation of imbalance, establishing a balance capable of overpowering and controlling that imbalance, using this method to make oneself stronger.
In the Lesser Thousand Worlds,
