Qi Induction Peak

Compared to the other candidates, Yi Yun's steps seemed more difficult and unsteady, which destined him to be much slower than the others.

At this point, the successors cultivated by the small tribes, as well as the elites of the Tao Clan, had basically reached within twenty paces.

There are also some who are slightly less capable, still struggling to pass.

"This little lackey actually moved, but he's so pathetic, he can't go very far."

Lian Chengyu glanced at Yi Yun, then looked away. He raised his head, stared at the enormous phantom of the wild beast in the sky, gritted his teeth, and continued forward without bothering to wipe the sweat from his brow.

The closer Cheng Yu got to Howling Sky Tiger's Beast Horn, the greater the pressure became, making Lian Chengyu steps difficult.

He glanced at the distance between himself and the Beast Horn; it was about twelve steps away. He knew that when he stepped into the tenth step range, he would inevitably experience a sudden and terrifying increase in pressure. If he wasn't mentally prepared, he would be pushed away because he couldn't withstand the force.

Just now, an elite Tao Clan failed in this very way.

Of all the people, Tao Yunxiao was the only one who successfully stepped into the ten-step range!

Lian Chengyu had to admit that Tao Yunxiao surpassed him in both strength and spirit.

Tao Yunxiao, a fourteen-year-old child, was incredibly arrogant, but this arrogance was also a manifestation of his spirit!

At this moment, Yi Yun, who was the slowest, gradually approached within twenty steps.

"Teacher, he's about to pass."

Lin Xin Tong spoke up, Old Man Su stroked his beard, saying, "It's just a preliminary round of the Divine Kingdom Grand Selection. What kind of skill is it to pass here? However..."

Old Man Su focused his attention, carefully observing Yi Yun. "This kid seems to be up to something..."

"Huh?" Lin Xin Tong was taken aback.

"His strength has increased!"

Old Man Su said incoherently, "From the moment he started walking towards the Beast Horn, his cultivation level slowly increased. Strange..."

Old Man Su stroked his chin. His small eyes possessed incredible vision. Even at a height of tens of feet, from such a distance, he could clearly see the condition of every inch of Yi Yun's flesh and blood, and naturally sensed the changes in the energy within Yi Yun's body.

If the Purple Crystal hadn't been so mysterious, exceeding Old Man Su's perception range, Old Man Su would have witnessed a scene that astonished him: countless points of light in the sky, like a hundred birds paying homage to a phoenix, flying towards Yi Yun.

Twenty steps!

Yi Yun finally stepped onto the twenty-step mark; he had passed.

Everyone who steps into the twenty-step mark attracts attention, and Yi Yun is no exception.

Several members of the Lian Clan's Warrior Reserve Camp, who had now retreated a hundred paces away to a "safe distance," were quite resentful upon seeing that Yi Yun had also passed the test.

This kid, he was clearly about to collapse from exhaustion, it seemed like he would fall to the ground if he took another step, but somehow he passed!

Heaven has no eyes! This little punk's audacity is stronger than all of theirs combined!

Buzzing--

Buzzing--

At this moment, the energy within Yi Yun's body seemed to have accumulated to its limit. The Purple Crystal in his heart was pulsating repeatedly, absorbing and compressing this energy.

Blood trickled from the corner of Yi Yun's mouth, and the veins on his body bulged as if they were about to burst!

Just one more thing, almost there!

Yi Yun gritted his teeth, about to take another step, when suddenly, in the sky, the Howling Sky Tiger Giant Beast suddenly widened its amber eyes, which swept across the surroundings like sharp swords!

"Roar--"

The Howling Sky Tiger roared to the sky, and at that moment, the enormous energy contained in its Beast Horn erupted like a volcanic eruption, shooting straight into the clouds!

"Ah!!" Lian Chengyu let out a scream. The sudden change caused the pressure to increase dramatically. Lian Chengyu felt as if a heavy hammer had struck his chest. He groaned and his body flew backward!

The Howling Sky Tiger gets its name from its terrifying roar, which can howl at the heavens!

This is just a phantom of the Howling Sky Tiger. If it were a living, adult Howling Sky Tiger, a single roar could kill thousands of human soldiers!

The other elites of the Tao Clan were in a similar situation to Lian Chengyu. The phantom of the Howling Sky Tiger suddenly unleashed its power, and its pressure exploded outwards like a shockwave. They were caught off guard and had no time to react. As a result, they were all pushed away by this shockwave!

Some people who had already reached their limit even felt a sweet taste in their throats and spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly unable to continue.

At this moment, Tao Yunxiao demonstrated his strong strength and confidence. Although he retreated repeatedly and his face turned ashen, he only knelt on one knee and stubbornly refused to fall!

"Good! Good! That was exhilarating! I'm going to conquer you today!"

Tao Yunxiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes gleaming with excitement. Now, no one was competing with him anymore; the only one he had to defeat was himself.

Just as Tao Yunxiao was about to stand up and continue forward, a sound of bones exploding suddenly rang out not far behind him!

"Click click click!"

The sound was like an eggshell shattering, incredibly crisp and startling!

"Um!?"

Tao Yunxiao suddenly turned around, searching for the source of the sound.

He saw a boy, soaked in sweat as if he had been pulled out of the water, squatting on the ground, his muscles twitching and trembling slightly!

The trembling of these muscles is not due to fear under immense pressure, but rather because they contain powerful energy; the muscles are throbbing with excitement.

The energy in Yi Yun's meridians circulated rapidly. In the instant that Howling Sky Tiger roared to the sky, the pressure reached its peak. A fierce energy shockwave swept across Yi Yun's body, as if he had crashed into a wall at an extremely high speed.

The energy confinement within Yi Yun's body was broken in that instant!

A vortex formed at Yi Yun's heart, and countless points of light surged toward Yi Yun like a whale sucking in water.

"Boom!"

An energy burst forth, shattering the rocks beneath Yi Yun's feet. He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing like lightning.

Peak of Qi Refining! I have finally broken through to the peak of Qi Refining!

At this point, I am only one step away from the Purple Blood Realm!

"What's wrong with this kid?"

With Tao Yunxiao's knowledge and insight, he certainly couldn't see what had happened to Yi Yun.

In the center of the arena, Zhang Tan sensed that although he had not reached the level of Heavenly Eye, he could still judge from his experience that Yi Yun had broken through his realm.

"This kid actually broke through his cultivation level by using the pressure from the Howling Sky Tiger's Beast Horn?" Zhang Tan was somewhat surprised, then showed an interested expression. "Interesting! Interesting! Most people would find it difficult to withstand such pressure; a single breath feels like a day, and they would wish the test would end as soon as possible. But this kid actually used this opportunity to gain a great benefit. Haha, interesting!"

Zhang Tan had a feeling that this kid was going to achieve something great in the future!

Yi Yun clenched his fists and breathed deeply. He felt that every breath he took had a faint fragrance that was refreshing and invigorating. His saliva was like sweet spring water, which could nourish his body when swallowed.

Having reached the peak of Qi Induction, just one step away from the Purple Blood Realm, he felt the world becoming increasingly clear, and his perception of his surroundings improved once again.

Not only that, he felt his whole body was full of inexhaustible power, because the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the surrounding environment was subtly seeping into his body through his 36,000 pores!

A martial artist who reaches the peak of the Qi Induction Realm can easily absorb energy from the surrounding environment. Although they may not reach the level of Bigu, they can still survive for a long time when food is scarce.

"This is the peak of Qi Refining, it feels so good!"

Yi Yun clenched his fist. Suddenly, he sensed something, turned his head slightly, and his gaze met that of another person.

This person is Lian Chengyu!

Yi Yun and Lian Chengyu stood several dozen feet apart, staring at each other.
