Breakthrough, Second-Layer Peak of the Tenth Tier!

Xiao Hei let out a cheerful neigh, opened its huge mouth, and swallowed the corpse in one bite. Gentle, warm energy rippled across its body once more. After belching contentedly, it coiled around Lin Ming's wrist again and fell into an even deeper digestive slumber.

After finishing all that, Lin Ming did not immediately help Scarlet Flame clear the battlefield. Instead, he looked around, found a relatively clean corner untouched by blood and flames, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and sank his consciousness into the system panel.

"It's time for a breakthrough. I've saved up for so long—it's about time I spent some of it," he muttered, anticipation in his voice.

He had previously exchanged a large amount of rare treasures with Merit Points. Those high-energy treasures were piled up like a mountain in the system space, and now they could serve as fuel for his breakthrough and accelerate his advancement.

With a thought, the mountain-like pile of cultivation resources on the system panel began to vanish at high speed. Like melting ice and snow, they transformed into streams of incomparably pure energy that surged madly into every limb, meridian, and his dantian like bursting rivers.

At the same time, his nearly sixty million Kill Points began to drain away like running water. Every flicker represented the crossing of another realm.
