After several attempts, Xu Yang's spiritual force had become exceptionally pure. Every last thread was under his control.
He knew the moment to break through had arrived.
The blood-red heart saber blazed with dazzling light and, driven by his spiritual force, slashed toward the realm barrier.
Bang!
With a muffled explosion, the invisible realm barrier shattered.
In that instant, Xu Yang felt as though the heavens had risen and the earth had broadened. The invisible pressure shrouding his mind vanished, and his consciousness, freed from its restraints, began to grow rapidly.
He knew this was only the first step of the breakthrough. He had merely broken through the realm barrier; the true breakthrough had only just begun.
With a thought, he activated the heart method for the eighth layer of the Blood Prison Heart Saber Scripture. His spiritual force, surging like great waves, immediately responded to the command, circulating in a profound pattern as it swiftly condensed and transformed.
Outside, Xu Yang's saber intent soared. Countless streaks of saber light shot out of his body and struck the secret chamber's walls.
Fortunately, the Spirit Tower was no ordinary structure. Otherwise, the room would have been reduced to ruins in an instant.
His fierce saber intent distorted even the air around him. Endless saber cries rang from between his brows, as though a Saber Sea existed within.
Crack, crack-
Soon, sounds of something breaking came from within his body. Streams of latent potential were released from every limb and bone, and his aura began to climb steadily.
Yang Gang's scorching golden blood energy transformed into golden dragons that burst out of his body and circled him, becoming increasingly lifelike.
Xu Yang noticed none of this. As his realm advanced, his consciousness became wholly immersed in the circulation of his cultivation art.
