The nine stars on my belt erupted with powerful energy-transmission capabilities once the meridians activated, while the meridians also brought seemingly endless power to my entire body at that moment.

No matter how powerful the meridians were, if their output could not reach the required intensity, then a Chaos Realm cultivator was still a Chaos Realm cultivator.
Even so, this was already tremendous progress. Perhaps breaking into the Dao Tribulation Realm was merely a matter of overcoming one bottleneck.
