368: Breakthrough to the Second Level

“Do you want it?” The Witch smiled, holding the Chaos source crystal between her fingers, dangling it like bait in front of Su Xiaobai.

“I want it.”

Su Xiaobai’s eyes were fervent, his pupils swaying with the Chaos source crystal.

“Then you must agree to one condition.”

Su Xiaobai instantly sobered up. Indeed, there was no such thing as a free lunch.

He looked at the Witch with a serious expression. “Tell me first.”

“I want you to Breakthrough to the Third Realm within three years, no matter what method you use.” The Witch’s face showed an unprecedented seriousness.

“Because in my current state, I am gradually unable to resist the Demon Race’s attacks. The Nine Heavens Demon Slaying Formation will shatter in three years, and I must have someone to help me.”

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaobai’s pupils contracted sharply. The Hunyuan Realm only had three years left!

“But even if I Breakthrough to the Third Realm, facing the vast Demon Race army, it would still be like a drop in the bucket,” he said with a frown.

“You don’t need to worry about that. As long as you can Breakthrough to the Third Realm, I have my own way to help you. How about it?”

Su Xiaobai pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily. “I agree.”

He had no choice but to agree. Whether it was to save his own life or to protect those he cherished, he had to Breakthrough to the Third Realm within three years.

“Very good.” The Witch’s lips curved slightly, then she slapped the Chaos source crystal into Su Xiaobai’s body with one palm.

Su Xiaobai’s face instantly flushed red, as if he had drunk fake alcohol.

“This… this power…”

Without time to marvel, he quickly sat down, absorbing the endless, ocean-like power within his body.

“I hope you don’t slack off, otherwise, in three years, you’ll regret it!”

The Witch let out a cold snort, then her figure dissipated.

This Void Realm projection was not her true body, but merely a projection, which would disappear once its energy was exhausted.

Su Xiaobai’s face was now filled with pain. The surging power continuously expanded his Meridians.

This process was extremely painful, but once endured, his Luck storage would far exceed what it was before.

…

In the vast and boundless Universe, a colossal planet hung quietly.

This planet’s appearance was very similar to Earth, but its size was dozens of times that of Earth. Its surface had only one continent, named: Tian Shang Continent.

This was the Hunyuan Realm.

The surface of the Hunyuan Realm was enveloped by a fully enclosed white Law formation, like an indestructible city wall.

And opposite the Hunyuan Realm, there was a planet twice its size, completely dark.

The dark planet’s surface continuously sprayed out “black mist,” like ink, continuously spraying towards the Hunyuan Realm.

If one looked closely, they would see that these so-called “black mists” were actually an army composed of countless Extraterrestrial Demon Clan, continuously launching attacks towards the Hunyuan Realm.

They charged towards the Nine Heavens Demon Slaying Formation outside the Hunyuan Realm, letting out ferocious roars, as if wanting to completely tear apart this formation that blocked their path!

In the center of the Nine Heavens Demon Slaying Formation, a light sphere emitting a sacred glow floated.

In the center of the light sphere, a peerless woman in a Heavenly Dao robe with snow-white hair was curled up, sleeping with her eyes closed, like a sleeping little girl.

Suddenly!

The peerless woman opened her eyes, and a hint of killing intent was revealed in her dark red pupils.

“Constantly harassing me all day, it’s so annoying!!”

She pointed a finger towards the Demon Race army.

Immediately, the entire Nine Heavens Demon Slaying Formation seemed to come alive, rapidly operating, and a terrifying aura was brewing.

Boom!!!!

A white light pillar, tens of thousands of meters in diameter, spanned thousands of miles, instantly annihilating the approaching Demon Race army on the spot! Not even a scream was heard.

The Nine Heavens Demon Slaying Formation was like a planet-level electromagnetic cannon. The “electromagnetic wave” shot towards the massive dark planet opposite, after annihilating the Demon Race army.

But on the surface of the dark planet, thick, dark atmospheric clouds surged, forming a “big mouth.”

Roar!!!

The “big mouth” swallowed the electromagnetic cannon shot from the Nine Heavens Demon Slaying Formation in one gulp. The clouds surged back and forth, as if chewing.

Burp~

Finally, the dark planet erupted in a planetary storm, looking like it had let out a satisfied burp.

“Tch!” The White-Haired Witch watched this scene, pouting her lips, feeling humiliated and uncomfortable in her heart.

She had to perform this kind of “feeding” several times a day.

And each “feeding” consumed her power, which meant she could not maintain her Peak state.

And she had no way to stop it.

“So what if your Demon Race has two Immortal Kings? If you’re so capable, come down and fight me one-on-one. See if I don’t skin you and make a coat out of it!!” She angrily gave the dark planet the middle finger.

Cackle cackle cackle!

A sound that vibrated the Void Realm came from the opposite side, as if mocking her.

This made the White-Haired Witch even more furious, stomping her feet.

“You just wait. When my little brother grows up, I’ll settle accounts with you little by little!” she thought viciously.

…

Hunyuan Realm, Heavenly Dao’s study.

Boom!!!!

A dull, thunderous roar suddenly erupted.

If the objects here weren’t fixed by Law, they would have been instantly shredded by the powerful aftershock of Su Xiaobai’s Breakthrough.

Su Xiaobai lightly exhaled a turbid breath. He slowly opened his eyes, a glint of divine charm flashing in their depths, giving off a powerful sense of oppression.

He gently clenched his fist. Now, he felt like he could easily shatter the Void Realm.

“So strong!” He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Is this the power of the Second Realm? It’s simply a world of difference from the First Realm.”

If Eastern Flower Divine Lord appeared before him again, he was confident that in just ten moves, he could teach him a lesson.

Thinking of Eastern Flower Divine Lord, he recalled Zhao Tiezhu’s death, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

He took out the remaining Heaven-Grade Source Crystal from his sleeve.

He had advanced to the Second Realm by relying on the Chaos source crystal, so this Heaven-Grade Source Crystal would not be needed and could be saved for his Revered Master later.

“I’ve probably been here for half a year. I wonder if the exit to the Secluded Heaven is still open?” A hint of worry couldn’t help but arise in his heart.

He put the Heaven-Grade Source Crystal back into his sleeve, then looked towards the study door, which was the entrance for teleporting back.

“It’s time to go back.”

He did not linger here. He wondered how everyone was doing during the time he was away.

…

East Flower Temple.

At this moment, everyone had already left, leaving only Bing Ling anxiously waiting in the great hall.

“Why hasn’t Xiaobai returned yet?” Her face showed a hint of urgency and worry.

She was not only worried about Su Xiaobai’s safety, but also because of another piece of news.

And Li Luo and Immortal Li, upon hearing that news, didn’t even have time to heal their injuries before hastily leaving.

She should have gone too, but because she was worried about Su Xiaobai, she stayed behind.

Just then, the Void Realm in front of her distorted, forming a white “black hole.”

A tall and straight figure walked out from it.

He wore a black robe with golden Dragon patterns, was as handsome as jade, and held his hands behind his back, exuding natural authority.

“Xiaobai!!”

Bing Ling was overjoyed and wanted to rush forward to greet him, but at this moment, Su Xiaobai emitted an aura of a high-ranking individual, making her instinctively stop, unsure how to speak.

Su Xiaobai quickly reined in the Second Realm aura on his body and said to Bing Ling with pleasant surprise, “Revered Master, have you been waiting here for me for half a year?”

“Half a year?” Bing Ling shook her head. “Only two days have passed since you disappeared.”

“Only two days?” Su Xiaobai was surprised. He had stayed in the study for half a year.

It seemed the flow of time in the study was different from the outside world.

“Never mind, that’s not important!” Bing Ling’s expression turned serious. “Xiaobai, quickly go save Your Majesty! Your Majesty is in trouble!”
