Xiaoxiao.

At this moment, Wu Ren was completely immersed in the wonderful breakthrough.

If the original power and consciousness were like two parallel lines, independent of each other and without any intersection, then at the peak of the final stage of enlightenment, they quietly began to merge.

As their strength grows, this connection will become increasingly solid and profound, until eventually the two become so intertwined that they are indistinguishable from one another.

As their cultivation level increases, their power undergoes a dramatic transformation. And once they reach the legendary Tribulation Transcending stage, even a single leaf or flower can unleash world-destroying power in their hands.

This is why cultivators, after reaching the pinnacle of their cultivation, can kill enemies from thousands of miles away with just a glance or even a fleeting thought.

The reason is that for cultivators whose strength has reached the pinnacle, every part of their body can be transformed into an indestructible and deadly weapon, and as one of the manifestations of spiritual power, consciousness and will naturally possess powerful offensive capabilities.

Despite the powerful enemy lurking outside the cave, Wu Ren had no time to worry about the external threat, as he was fully focused on this crucial breakthrough.

As his understanding of the final stage of enlightenment deepened and became clearer, that seemingly indestructible barrier was finally broken through through his persistent efforts!

A deafening roar erupted from within his body: "Boom!"

It was as if the whole world trembled.

Finally, he achieved a breakthrough!

The final shackles collapsed instantly, like a paper wall, and the nearly depleted spiritual energy within his body surged forth like a mighty river.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the spiritual energy that had been nearly depleted was quickly replenished.

However, the spiritual energy within the body did not calm down; on the contrary, it became increasingly turbulent, as if it wanted to break free from the body's constraints.

Double, double, triple...

The spiritual energy was growing at an astonishing rate, continuously flowing into his body.

The numerous beast cores placed beside him were also rapidly losing their luster at a visible rate, a sign that their energy was depleted.

Within his body, this power continued to accumulate until it eventually reached a full ten times its original value!

At this moment, the spiritual energy within his body was already abundant, and the surging momentum finally subsided.

As his cultivation level stabilized, a powerful aura belonging to the peak of the late stage of the Enlightenment Realm emanated from his body.

This oppressive aura was almost tangible, rapidly spreading outwards from him.

Its power was so great that it directly uprooted towering trees within a radius of 5,000 meters, exposing their massive roots; and the incredibly hard boulders instantly shattered into countless tiny grains of sand, which were scattered by the wind.

In an instant, dust filled the air, obscuring the sky and creating a vast, billowing cloud of smoke.

Outside the cave, a fierce wind howled, and sand and stones flew everywhere.

Zhu Lu, dressed in brocade robes, stood proudly amidst the raging wind. The robes fluttered wildly in the wind, but could not conceal the powerful aura emanating from him.

The surrounding sand and gravel shot towards him like bullets, crashing heavily two meters in front of him. However, once there, the sand and gravel could no longer advance an inch.

They bounced off as if they had hit an indestructible wall.

The enormous tree was uprooted in the gale and crashed down on Zhu Lu with tremendous force, but it stopped abruptly two meters away from him, as if it had encountered an insurmountable chasm.

Even the billowing dust was blocked by a mysterious force, unable to advance any further.

Zhu Lu stared intently at the cave, his heart filled with joy.

The powerful force emanating from the cave deeply shocked him.

Although this strength is not as great as his second brother's, it is comparable to his own.

He secretly rejoiced that his patient wait had not been in vain, and he had finally found an opponent who could rival him!

Thinking of this, the fighting spirit in Zhu Lu's eyes burned like a raging fire, spreading wildly.

Wu Ren, who caused all of this, was currently in a cave, his heart filled with turbulent emotions, unable to calm down for a long time.

He could clearly feel an unprecedentedly powerful force surging within his body, a force that galloped through his meridians like a wild horse.

Looking at the golden spiritual energy that had not yet dissipated in his palm, Wu Ren was filled with excitement.

At that moment, he suddenly had a strange feeling—that the sky and the earth were not invincible!

Wu Ren discovered that the spiritual energy within his body was ten times more abundant than before!

This is an incredible number, meaning he possesses even greater strength.

Faced with such immense power, Wu Ren's confidence was greatly boosted, and he couldn't wait to verify his true strength at this moment.

Wu Ren suppressed his overwhelming joy and quickly activated the Purple Thunder Guidance.

With the improvement of his cultivation level, the speed of practicing this technique became many times faster than before!

He held his breath and carefully guided the spiritual energy within his body to flow slowly along the eight extraordinary meridians, gradually converging into various key acupoints.

Once these acupoints are filled with abundant spiritual energy, they flow like gentle streams to the limbs and bones.

In this way, spiritual energy circulated and flowed repeatedly within his body, and with each complete cycle, its concentration increased to a higher level.

Gradually, the originally slightly mottled and chaotic spiritual energy, after repeated tempering and purification, finally emitted a dazzling golden color, so pure that not a trace of impurity could be found.

Wu Ren did not stop there. After a short rest, he immediately began the second level of the "Purple Thunder Guidance" – the "Body Tempering" stage.

During this process, he focused intently on manipulating the highly condensed spiritual energy, allowing it to continuously permeate his bones, muscles, fascia, and other tissues, thus strengthening and tempering his entire body in all aspects.

After completing the "Body Tempering" training, Wu Ren stepped into the third level without hesitation—the "Soul Refining" realm.

His understanding of this level used to be vague and incomplete, but with the rapid advancement of his own strength and the accumulation of his cultivation experience, he is now finally able to fully grasp its mysteries.

As the saying goes, "If you understand one method, you understand all methods." With a thorough understanding of soul refining, an extremely strong energy fluctuation suddenly erupted from Wu Ren's body.

"Om..."

A deep, muffled thud was heard, as if the entire cave was trembling.

The powerful fluctuation spread rapidly outwards from Wu Ren, like invisible ripples, causing even the surrounding space to distort and deform noticeably.

Just then, Wu Ren suddenly opened his eyes, and two extremely sharp beams of light shot out from the depths of his eyes.

The light was so tangible that it even caused the void in front of them to turn into nothingness wherever it passed.

Feeling the powerful and surging spiritual energy within his body, like a mighty river, Wu Ren could no longer contain his joy and burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha..."

A hearty laugh echoed throughout the cave, as if the entire mountain was shaken by the sound.

After laughing heartily, he finally calmed down and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, his gaze fell upon the beast cores scattered on the ground all around, which had lost all their energy.

Looking at these beast cores that once contained great power, now dull and lifeless, Wu Ren couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate.

Looking back, Kuang Zheng repeatedly reminded everyone to prepare as many powerful beast cores as possible to carry with them, so that they could replenish their supplies in case of an emergency.

At the time, Wu Ren thought that Kuang Zheng was being too cautious and making a mountain out of a molehill.

However, it seems that if I hadn't listened to Kuang Zheng and followed his advice, this breakthrough might have resulted in me going into qi deviation due to insufficient spiritual energy supply!

The thought of the terrible consequences—falling into madness, having all one's meridians severed, or even losing one's life...

Wu Ren couldn't help but shudder, muttering to himself with lingering fear, "If it really comes to that, I won't be able to die in peace!"

Fortunately, fate was on his side. Although he had some doubts about Kuang Zheng's suggestion, he ultimately chose to heed the advice.

It was this wise move that allowed him to successfully avoid a disaster caused by insufficient spiritual energy.

Wu Ren silently repeated "thank goodness" several times in his heart, his relief evident.

After calming down, Wu Ren took a deep breath and rallied his spirits.

He raised his head, his bright eyes gazing out of the cave.

At this moment, if Zhu Lu's sudden appearance had brought him immense pressure, then after this breakthrough, all that remained in his heart was a soaring fighting spirit!
