Breakthrough to Level 100

"I wonder when the Alliance Leader plans to break through to level one hundred?"

"Naturally, the sooner the better, though it still depends on when you Sect Masters are ready."

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Zhang Xu and the others nodded. They knew Lin Yi was eager to reach level one hundred; after all, ascending to the God Realm would surely provide a much larger stage for him to display his talents.

"I have no issues here. I can assist Alliance Leader Lin in his breakthrough at any time." Li Dongcheng did not hesitate. When it came to helping Lin Yi, he was certainly the most willing of them all.

"Alliance Leader Lin, the Imperial Sky Sect needs a few days. To ensure your breakthrough goes smoothly, our sect's divine artifact is absolutely essential. Once I return to the sect to retrieve the Imperial Sky Sword, I will certainly be able to help you succeed."

"We are ready at any time!"

Lin Yi nodded. He trusted these sects quite a bit. Aside from the Imperial Sky Sect, all the others could assist immediately, but Lin Yi felt no dissatisfaction toward Zhang Xu, for he understood in his heart just how vital the Imperial Sky Sword was to this level one hundred breakthrough.

"My thanks to all the Sect Masters for your support. Lin Yi will keep this in mind. Even after I break through to level one hundred and enter the God Realm, I will never forget your kindness."

"Alliance Leader Lin, you jest. If we speak of kindness, it is we who owe you more. What is this small favor compared to that?"

Lin Yi chuckled and said, "In that case, I will say no more. Sect Master Zhang, please return to your sect as soon as possible to retrieve the Imperial Sky Sword. The day you return shall be the day you assist me in breaking through to level one hundred."

"No problem. This subordinate will go and return with all speed."

After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he activated his seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body, and quickly departed, heading in the direction of the Imperial Sky Sect.

Three days passed, and Zhang Xu returned from his sect with the Imperial Sky Sword. Lin Yi, leading the other Sect Masters, had already made preparations in the courtyard. It was worth noting that no soul beasts dared to enter within a hundred-mile radius of Lin Yi's estate; even those hundred-thousand-year soul beasts kept their distance.

"Alliance Leader, I have kept you waiting."

"It is no matter. Sect Master Zhang, take your seat."

Zhang Xu grunted in acknowledgment, sat in his place while gripping the Imperial Sky Sword, and once he saw that everyone had arrived, Lin Yi walked to the center of the group and sat cross-legged.

"Everyone, this level one hundred breakthrough is of vital importance to me. I hope you can all give your full effort to assist me."

"We will certainly give our all to successfully help the Alliance Leader reach level one hundred!"

Hearing their response, Lin Yi nodded with relief. Before entering meditation, he instructed Pei Qinhu to stand guard. Although no soul beasts would harass his estate and no short-sighted individuals would come looking for trouble, it was better to be cautious.

"Rest assured, Alliance Leader. I will not let even a mosquito slip inside."

"Haha, thank you for your hard work."

He watched as Pei Qinhu activated his Martial Soul True Body, hovering in mid-air and using his spiritual power to survey the surroundings, ensuring no one would disturb them.

"Sect Masters, let us begin!"

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, he closed his eyes and entered meditation. The surrounding Soul Power gathered toward his body, and a vortex formed by Soul Power appeared above his head. Seeing this, Zhang Xu, Li Dongcheng, and the others were shocked; never before had they witnessed such a magnificent scene.

"It is time. Sect Masters, make your move!"

Li Dongcheng had already noticed the Soul Power in the air beginning to thin. He understood that the Soul Power of the Douluo Continent had already been more than half-absorbed by Lin Yi at this point, yet there was still no sign of a breakthrough. Even if they drained the entire continent's Soul Power, it would be difficult for him to reach level one hundred. Now was the moment for them to act.

Hearing his words, none of the Sect Masters hesitated. They immediately released their martial souls. Each of them possessed nine soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, and red. Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, such a perfect soul ring configuration could only be seen here.

"Imperial Sky Sword! Slash!"

Zhang Xu gathered all his soul rings onto the Imperial Sky Sword and slashed at the sky. This strike seemed to tear open the passage between the Douluo Continent and the God Realm, and the previously thin Soul Power suddenly became abundant once more.

"Now is the time! Everyone, do not hold back. Help the Alliance Leader break through early!"

"Yes!"

At Zhang Xu's command, everyone began channeling their Soul Power into the vortex above Lin Yi's head. Although Lin Yi could not speak while in meditation, he was aware of everything Zhang Xu, Li Dongcheng, and the others were doing. To say he was not moved would be impossible.

Everyone, once I step into the God Realm, I will find god positions for you!

Lin Yi made a decision in his heart. Zhang Xu, Li Dongcheng, and the others were willing to exhaust their own Soul Power to help him break through; he would certainly keep this favor in his heart forever.

Several hours passed, and Lin Yi still showed no signs of breaking through. However, Zhang Xu and the others had already exhausted too much Soul Power, and their faces had begun to turn pale. If Lin Yi could not break through within the next half-hour, they would have no choice but to stop. If they continued, their internal Soul Power would be completely drained, and even if they could recover, their cultivation would drop to the Soul Douluo level.

"Alliance Leader, hurry!"

Lin Yi's brows tightened. He could feel the Soul Power within Zhang Xu and the others dropping rapidly, and he knew that if this continued, it would surely be detrimental to them. He was also extremely anxious; he was clearly only a tiny step away from level one hundred, so why was it so hard to break through even after absorbing so much power?

In the Sea God Temple of the God Realm, Tang San and Xiao Wu were watching clearly. Seeing Lin Yi's anxiety, Xiao Wu said, "Brother, why don't you help him?"

"Mm, very well."

Tang San smiled slightly, and a seed of Blue Silver Grass quietly entered Lin Yi's spiritual world. Even Lin Yi himself did not notice it. Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly felt his Sea of Consciousness expand several times over, and the Soul Power within his body surged instantly.

"What is happening?"

Lin Yi felt a sense of doubt, not knowing the reason, until he discovered a familiar aura in his spiritual world. Was the source of this aura not the God King Tang San?

"Senior?!"

"No need to thank me now. It will not be too late to thank me once you break through to level one hundred and arrive at the God Realm!"

Lin Yi smiled faintly. When he opened his eyes, a powerful wave of Soul Power radiated from his body, nearly killing Zhang Xu and the others. Had he not reacted quickly enough to protect them with his spiritual power, that shockwave of Soul Power would surely have claimed their lives.

"Congratulations to the Alliance Leader for breaking through to level one hundred! Long live the Dragon God!"
