Chapter 43 Breakthrough
He slowly sat cross-legged, formed seals with his hands, slowly closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and let his mind immerse in his dantian.

At this moment, the world seemed to become quiet and silent, with only the rhythm of breathing remaining in the ears.

When his consciousness sank into his body, he clearly felt the original true energy in his dantian, which was like a deep lake, rippling slightly and emitting soft waves of spiritual power.

As his mind urged him on, his Qi flowed slowly, just like the mist on the river surface being evaporated by the morning sun at dawn, gradually becoming thicker and spreading to every part of his body.

He practiced his skills, and the acupoints in his body were lit up one by one. The Qi surged slowly like a river, flowing through the meridians, washing away the barriers that had not been penetrated.

however--

How could it be easy to break through the ninth level?
The meridians, like rusty iron chains, stubbornly block the flow of true energy.

Chu Ning tasted blood on the tip of his tongue, and every inch of his meridians felt like they were pierced by ice spikes.

In a trance, he "saw" the Qi sea in his Dantian surging like a boil. That was not true Qi, but a thunder and lightning dragon imprisoned by iron chains.

The crisp sound of the chains breaking exploded in the sea of ​​consciousness. The dragon raised its head and roared, and cold thunder wrapped in ice crystals gushed out, rushing straight up the spine to the top of the head.

Outside the window, the snow on the eaves collapsed with a loud bang, as if resonating with him.

Time passes in silence.

The early morning sunlight streamed into the room through the window lattice, casting mottled shadows on his profile, but he remained motionless, like a sculpture, immersed in his cultivation.

Outside the door, the servant of Wuhou Mansion knocked gently.

"Mr. Chu, the food is ready."

The house was silent.

The servant waited for a while, but received no response, so he gently placed the food box at the door and quietly left.

At this time, Chu Ning in the room was completely unaware. His mind was immersed in a more intense training contest.

It was noon, the sun was scorching, and the food outside the door had already gone cold.

The true energy in his body was surging to its limit.

suddenly--

Sting!

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from a key acupuncture point, like a steel needle piercing the bone!
Chu Ning's face twisted slightly, cold sweat trickling down his forehead. He clenched his teeth, trying not to let his Qi dissipate, his will as solid as a rock, enduring the onslaught.

As night falls, the stars shine brightly outside the window.

The acupoints all over his body trembled faintly, and his true energy surged like a raging wave, attacking the last bottleneck of the ninth level!

"Om-!"

The meridians vibrated, the acupoints resonated, and a powerful true energy crashed into the dantian, creating a frenzy, like a rushing river hitting a dam, trying to completely break free from the restraints!

However, that layer of shackles was like a solid wall of iron and steel, and it would not budge an inch.

The next moment——

Backlash!

The tremendous backlash force surged in an instant, as if thousands of steel needles were piercing his internal organs. The pain made Chu Ning's whole body tremble slightly, and sweat seeped through his clothes.

At this moment, he is at the critical moment of life and death. If he cannot break through, his true energy will collapse, and he will be seriously injured at best, or his meridians will be reversed and he will go crazy!
Outside the door, the servant brought in food again. Seeing that yesterday's lunch box was still unopened, he frowned slightly and felt puzzled.

"What on earth is this Mr. Chu doing? Is he... practicing in seclusion?"

He didn't dare to move, so he had to put down another box of new food and then retreat, but his steps were slower than usual, as if he was afraid of disturbing the people in the room.

At dawn, the first rays of morning light shone into the room. Dust floated in the air, but the room remained silent.

The servant came to deliver food for the fifth time and saw four untouched boxes of food placed at the door. He couldn't help but mutter, "It's been two days and two nights. Has he really not eaten anything?"

But at this moment.

"boom!!"

A vast and unparalleled aura suddenly erupted from the room, and violent spiritual power surged out, stirring up an invisible wave of wind, which even made the food box in front of the door tremble slightly!
Inside the door, Chu Ning suddenly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be flashes of thunder in the depths of his pupils.

At that moment, his five senses were sharper than ever. He could even hear the servants' slightly rapid breathing outside the door, feel the slight movement of dust particles in the air, and even his skin seemed to feel the faint wood grain on the beams. Ninth Rank, finally a breakthrough!
He stood up slowly, the true energy in his body surged endlessly, his meridians were filled with energy as surging as the sea, and his limbs and bones were all cleansed by this powerful spiritual power. His whole aura had transformed.

Outside the door, the servant was about to knock.

"Mr. Chu, you..."

"Squeak-"

The door was slowly pushed open, and Chu Ning stepped out, his robe fluttering slightly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, and his whole temperament was completely different from before.

He took the food box into the room, but did not start eating. Instead, he closed his eyes, concentrated, and sank into consciousness, preparing to repay the price of "Sky-Splitting Shadow Art".

He knew very well that if he could take this opportunity to take a step forward and enter the upper ninth rank, he would be invincible in the Qingyun Arena battle!

With this thought, Chu Ning slowly exhaled, his consciousness sinking into the Hunyuan Divine Order...

In the void, a vast galaxy slowly flows, and endless starlight interweaves, reflecting his figure.

Chu Ning said without hesitation, "Repay!"

In the darkness, an old and cold voice echoed:

[Kill a ninth-rank warrior, repayment successful! ]

【Turn on the next advance payment effect! 】

In an instant, the starry sky trembled, and an indescribable terrifying force suddenly descended, as if the entire heaven and earth were pressing down on him.

——Tear!
A terrifying crack appeared in the void, as if it was going to split Chu Ning's soul into two.

His consciousness was torn apart, and severe pain swept over him like waves, as if countless sharp blades were carving into his soul, and the pain of blood and fire instantly filled his world.

His body trembled slightly in reality, veins bulged on his forehead, and beads of sweat poured out madly, but he remained as steady as a rock, allowing the terrifying force to devour his spirit and essence.

"Is that all?" Chu Ning gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing a crazy determination.

However, the Hunyuan Divine Order seemed to have heard his provocation, and the tearing force suddenly surged!

boom!
A huge wave suddenly rose in his sea of ​​consciousness, and countless illusory runes emerged from the depths of the galaxy. Each rune was like a branding iron, deeply engraved on his soul.

Chu Ning's consciousness trembled violently, and the pain almost made him lose his mind.

His body shook violently in reality, his clothes fluttered without wind, and the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch!

The feeling of his soul being forcibly torn apart was far more profound than the physical pain. His flesh and blood trembled, his meridians resonated, as if his entire body was enduring divine punishment.

But he still didn't back down!
His consciousness grasped the tearing force tightly, guiding it along the way and absorbing this terrifying energy into his body bit by bit.

"what!!!"

He growled and forced himself to practice his skills. The true energy in his dantian surged like a raging tide, gradually devouring and refining the tearing force.

Chu Ning gritted his teeth and endured it, his eyes bloodshot and veins bulging on his forehead!

He knew that if he could get through it, he would be reborn!

It seemed like tens of millions of years had passed, and Chu Ning finally felt the tearing pain begin to subside, and eventually turned into a strand of extremely pure energy, which was completely absorbed by his body, meridians, and dantian.

boom!
In an instant, his aura surged, and as his true energy flowed, it brought with it a series of sharp sounds that broke through the air.

His aura was even more powerful than the moment he broke through to the ninth level.

However, when he opened his eyes, this is what he felt.

Ninth grade, medium.

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"One step short?"

He pondered for a moment, then smiled.
