You Made Me Break Through Again!

"Brat! How dare you curse me! You're courting death!"

Cursed so suddenly by Lin Yunji, the old man's face immediately darkened, and he looked thoroughly sinister.

His cold, emotionless eyes fixed on Lin Yunji, brimming with malice.

"Boom!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the old man revealed his true form. A gigantic bear appeared in midair.

The bear's fur was as black as ink, every hair standing on end like a steel needle, and its skin was incomparably tough. In the sunlight, its fur gave off a ghostly glow, with hints of blood-red light flowing through it.

Green light curled around its two fangs, a clear sign that they concealed a deadly poison!

Crouching in the void, he glared menacingly at Lin Yunji and opened his bloody maw. He stuck out his great tongue, about to lick Lin Yunji and swallow him whole.

"Your breath stinks!"

Facing that enormous open maw, Lin Yunji clapped a hand over his mouth and nose. Wave after wave of foul wind blasted out, making him want to puke.

"Buzz!"

With a thought, Lin Yunji immediately brought out the Sea-Calming Spirit Pearls.

Twenty-four spirit pearls hovered in the void, releasing treasure light that enveloped the bear demon.

"A supreme-grade Law Treasure! You... you... how could you have such a treasure?"

The bear demon turned pale with shock at the sight of the Sea-Calming Spirit Pearls.

Beneath the pearls' treasure light, the bear demon immediately realized danger was upon him. He struggled desperately to break free, mustering all the spells at his disposal and driving his cultivation to its limit to resist the pearls' light.

But it was no use!

The cold rays of treasure light slammed into the bear demon's body, piercing straight through it as though his fur and hide, tough as walls of bronze and iron, did not exist.

Bloody punctures appeared all over the bear demon, and a mist of blood sprayed into the air.

The bear demon's body crashed down, and he immediately perished, body and Dao extinguished.

"You wanted to swallow me whole? Even a Taiyi early-stage Golden Immortal wouldn't dare boast like that! How dare a mere late Golden Immortal like you?" Looking at the giant bear's body as it dissipated, Lin Yunji curled his lip in disdain.

It wasn't that Lin Yunji was arrogant!

After cultivating the Hongmeng Art, the strength of his Law Power was more than an ordinary cultivator could withstand. Someone a mere minor realm above him truly wasn't worth his notice.

Although his cultivation was only at the mid-stage Golden Immortal realm, his Law Power was actually no weaker than that of a Golden Immortal at great perfection, and might even surpass it.

With the added advantage of treasures such as the Sea-Calming Spirit Pearls, he could even put up a fight against a Taiyi early-stage Golden Immortal!

If he also refined the Twelve-Palace Sacred Flame Heaven-Burning Black Lotus platform, which could be used for defense, Lin Yunji could very well challenge a Taiyi early-stage Golden Immortal without being outmatched.

"Boom!"

After dealing with the bear demon without the slightest effort, Lin Yunji hesitated no longer. He flew straight toward the Heavenly Scar Fragment, seized it with one hand, and put it away.

The first Heavenly Scar Fragment was his!

How satisfying!

Lin Yunji was instantly overjoyed beyond measure.

His excitement was written all over his face!

As the saying went, the first step was always the hardest. Now that he had found the first Heavenly Scar Fragment, finding the others was no longer impossible. From this, it was clear that raising and perfecting the Primordial World to the Chaos level was no longer far off!

[Beep! The system has detected that the host has completed a random mission-slay the bear demon. Cultivation Points obtained: 10,000!]

[Beep! The system has detected that the host has obtained the first Heavenly Scar Fragment. Cultivation Points obtained: 100,000!]

[Beep! The system has detected that the host has sufficient Cultivation Points. Breaking through to the next realm...]

Lin Yunji was still rejoicing over finding the first Heavenly Scar Fragment when three system notifications in succession startled him.

Before he could react, dense Innate Spiritual Qi enveloped him, surging straight into his body.

His presence rose sharply, and his Law Power advanced by leaps and bounds.

In mere moments, it was as though the Innate Spiritual Qi within several million li could no longer satisfy him; it had all been absorbed.

As on the previous occasions, Lin Yunji had caused an enormous commotion.

The barrier to his next realm also began to loosen, and he soon broke through from mid-stage Golden Immortal to late Golden Immortal!

However!

That was apparently still nowhere near enough!

After who knew how much longer, having received 110,000 Cultivation Points, he went from his original mid-stage Golden Immortal realm to Taiyi early-stage Golden Immortal through the system's deliberate intervention. Not only did his Law Power soar, but he had also crossed two whole minor realms in one go!

Yet Lin Yunji was not excited by the rise in his realm. Instead, his expression changed!

In particular, when he felt the immense force within him, his mighty Law Power, and his profound cultivation, he was so angry that he ground his teeth.

"Why are you giving me more cultivation again?! You made me break through again!"

Lin Yunji shouted furiously, roaring at the void.

His shout was full of anger and frustration.

For a moment, he brought the full might of a Taiyi early-stage Golden Immortal to bear, and every living being within several million li of him heard it.

They were shocked by the terrifying presence Lin Yunji gave off, even as they could hardly believe what their ears were telling them.

What did he mean, "You made me break through again"?

Wasn't he happy to break through to a new realm?

Among the countless living beings and cultivators in the Primordial World, could there actually be someone like this? Someone who got angry because his cultivation had increased and he had broken through? He even had to shift the blame and find a culprit!

Regardless of what the other beings and cultivators thought, Lin Yunji was thoroughly frustrated.

"System, it's one thing to make me collect Heavenly Scar Fragments, but why do you have to give me Cultivation Points too?!"

Those fragments were fucking useless until he collected all forty-nine!

Yet he had to gain a huge amount of cultivation while collecting the things and break through because of it?

Wasn't this just messing with him?!

[Beep! The system has detected resentment in the host's heart and hereby offers a friendly reminder: to help the host grow stronger, the host will receive a large number of Cultivation Points for every Heavenly Scar Fragment found!]

"..."

Lin Yunji felt there was nothing left to argue about.

It was as though he had walked into a dead end. If he didn't search for Heavenly Scar Fragments, his cultivation would still increase, and he would still break through. Sooner or later, he would cause the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness to collapse.

If he collected all the Heavenly Scar Fragments, however, he could raise the level of the Primordial World, though that meant receiving a huge number of Cultivation Points...

Lin Yunji thought it over and decided that looking for the Heavenly Scar Fragments was the better deal.

And so, he had no choice but to accept the facts.

To get a better understanding of his situation, Lin Yunji pulled up his status panel and examined it.
