Successful Breakthrough to Late-Stage Spirit Transformation [Seeking Follow-ups, Seeking Subscriptions]

"I granted you a few days' grace, but who will grant me any?"

The envoy from the upper sect said coldly, "Xu Liguo is a disciple of the Tiangang Sect, the largest sect in the Tiangang Kingdom. What do you expect me to use to hand him over?"

Zhao Chuanliang immediately replied, "Senior, not long ago, Xu Liguo used a secret technique to call for help. We have already tracked his location, but... he was taken away by a Spirit Transformation powerhouse."

"Spirit Transformation?"

The envoy's expression froze. He looked at Zhao Chuanliang before him with a rather strange look and said, "Since when did a Spirit Transformation powerhouse appear in the Huofen Kingdom?"

Zhao Chuanliang dared not delay and told the envoy everything that had happened, as this was a matter beyond his ability to handle.

After all, a Spirit Transformation cultivator could kill him with a single slap. Without the help of the upper sect, only death awaited him.

The envoy's expression turned solemn. After thinking for a long time, he said, "I will arrange for a mid-stage Spirit Transformation powerhouse to assist you, but if you dare to deceive me, I will surely grind your bones to dust!"

"Rest assured, Envoy. As long as a Spirit Transformation senior can be sent to grace us with their presence, we will certainly bring Xu Liguo back."

The envoy from the Corpse Yin Sect sighed deeply, then turned around and said with an indifferent tone:

"Out of consideration for our past relations, I will give you ten days. If you do not succeed within ten days, do not blame This Seat for showing no mercy."

"Many thanks, Envoy!"

Zhao Chuanliang said coldly, "Pass the order: all cultivators of the Corpse Yin Sect at the Core Formation Stage and above are to follow This Seat to find this person and bring our sect's disciple back!"

"Yes!"

Deep within the outer reaches of the Demon Cultivation Sea, Luo Chuan remained seated cross-legged, pushing to break through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation realm. As for Xu Liguo, that two-faced traitor, he had no intention of interfering with him.

At this moment, the waters of the Demon Cultivation Sea, already more violent than ordinary seas, were stirred into towering waves by the aura of Luo Chuan's breakthrough. The black surges, like man-eating beasts, churned crazily within hundreds of feet of him.

The spiritual energy around Luo Chuan had condensed into a tangible form, turning into translucent white spiritual dragons that circled and dove into his crown chakra.

The vortex of spiritual energy in his dantian rotated at high speed, emitting a dull roar. With every rotation, a massive amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy was swallowed and refined.

The barrier that had kept him stuck at the peak of the mid-stage Spirit Transformation for so long finally developed a tiny crack under the continuous impact.

"Now!"

Luo Chuan whispered to himself, crushing several high-grade Immortal Jades he had prepared. A surging torrent of spiritual energy instantly flooded into his meridians.

Luo Chuan channeled his cultivation technique, guiding all the power to converge in his dantian, striking the crack like a drawn sword.

Crack—

A crisp shattering sound echoed in Luo Chuan's consciousness, and the barrier blocking his cultivation realm collapsed with a roar.

In the instant of the breakthrough, an aura several times stronger than before erupted from his body. The churning waves around him were instantly flattened, and even the reefs on the seabed trembled under this pressure.

Luo Chuan slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing through them. With a casual wave of his hand, an invisible force dispersed the incoming waves in the distance.

Feeling the full and refined spiritual energy in his dantian, a smile curled on Luo Chuan's lips: "Late-stage Spirit Transformation. Done."

His gaze inadvertently swept toward Xu Liguo, who was staying obediently nearby and not daring to breathe. Luo Chuan's eyes were indifferent; such a small character was no different from an ant in his eyes now.

Luo Chuan stood up slowly, his robes fluttering in the sea breeze. The heaven and earth spiritual energy around him gradually calmed, leaving only the pressure of a late-stage Spirit Transformation powerhouse quietly permeating this area of the Demon Cultivation Sea.

Looking at the system interface that popped up before him, Luo Chuan's expression remained calm and composed. He then raised his finger, looking at the cave dwelling before him, and decided to test the true power of the Thunderclap Finger.

As gusts of wind gathered around him, the white light at the tip of Luo Chuan's finger became increasingly blinding, until it was almost like a scorching sun in the sky.

"Thunderclap Finger!"

In an instant, the air around Luo Chuan solidified. He pointed his finger sharply into the distance and let out a stern shout. A blinding white light flashed from his fingertip, and an extremely thin beam of light shot out.

The speed of the beam was terrifying. Wherever it passed, space vibrated, leaving a pitch-black trail in the azure sky that looked extremely jarring.

The moment this terrifying technique was fired, the entire world trembled. Even the clouds above the Demon Cultivation Sea were instantly shattered by Luo Chuan's Thunderclap Finger.

As soon as the Thunderclap Finger appeared, the expressions of the powerful figures in the Demon Cultivation Sea nearby changed almost simultaneously, and they immediately retreated a hundred meters as if fleeing for their lives.

It was not hard to see that these fellows were filled with fear and shock at the technique before them.

Luo Chuan looked at the trench left behind by the Thunderclap Finger and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "The power is not bad. Even a peak late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator might not be able to withstand it."

Xu Liguo also noticed everything that had happened. He immediately knelt on the ground and hugged Luo Chuan's thigh, "Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master, for successfully mastering such a formidable technique!"

"Noisy."

Luo Chuan's gaze narrowed, instantly causing Xu Liguo to tremble in fear. He sprawled on the ground, not daring to make a single move, terrified that he might offend the baleful star before him and end up reduced to ashes.

Just then, Luo Chuan slowly turned around, his calm gaze resting on the distance as a look of serenity flickered in his eyes.

A hundred miles away, a handsome youth dressed in silver-white robes stared coldly ahead, a blood-red character for "Kill" hovering above his head.

"Is this... the Ten Thousand Demon Hundred-Day Kill Order?"

Luo Chuan kept one hand behind his back, the memory of the ancient, specialized restriction capable of boosting a cultivator's strength—the Ten Thousand Demon Hundred-Day Kill Order—surfacing from the original text in his mind.

This item had been passed down from ancient times, its craftsmanship long lost; even within the Demon Cultivation Sea, fewer than ten remained.

The requirements to activate this order were extremely strict, demanding the life of a cultivator at the Core Formation Stage or higher as a sacrifice. Anyone who killed the target would receive the entirety of the sacrificer's cultivation, yet throughout the ages, no one had ever managed to survive it.

If one could survive, the target would obtain all of the sacrificer's cultivation; it was, without a doubt, an incredibly formidable ancient restriction.
