Liang Ruijian chose to break through on the front-line battlefield of the great war between the Immortal Dynasty and the Demon Country because, to him, this battlefield was the best external force and aid—far better than the formations, talismans, magical treasures, pills, and the like arranged at the family residence.
And Liang Zhaohuang had also made thorough preparations to ensure his smooth breakthrough into the Golden Core stage.
The greatest obstacle to breaking through on this front-line battlefield was the violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth all around them. For this, he directly brought out the Spirit Cauldron, using the Human Way Destiny it had gathered over the years to suppress and refine the violent spiritual energy nearby, transforming it into Human Way Spiritual Energy for Liang Ruijian to absorb, refine, and use for his breakthrough.
However, relying on a single Spirit Cauldron, the speed at which it could suppress and refine the violent spiritual energy was naturally limited. This also meant that Liang Ruijian's breakthrough into the Golden Core stage would require more time.
Judging from the scale and intensity of the spiritual energy gathering over the island reef, forming a vortex that poured downward in reverse, Liang Zhaohuang made a rough calculation. Liang Ruijian would likely need at least five days to absorb and refine enough Human Way Spiritual Energy, forge his Golden Core, and attain the Golden Core realm.
Such a lengthy breakthrough period undoubtedly greatly increased the danger, as well as the difficulty Liang Zhaohuang and the Liang Family faced in defending the area.
At this moment, the Demon Race's counterattack had already arrived. The Winged Demon battle formations had broken through the defenses of the seventh line and attacked the sixth line, leaving less than a thousand li between them and the island-reef line
