151: Chapter 151 Collective Breakthrough

Time flowed slowly...

The auras of Shui Binger and the others steadily climbed.

The spirit rings around Ji Xuan had completely transformed into a brilliant crimson-gold, clearly reaching the million-year level.

The lingering obsession of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had previously attempted to invade his mental sea during the gap while Ji Xuan was absorbing the spirit ring.

But in the face of the Order Divine Power, this wisp of residual obsession did not even have room to struggle, instantly being crushed to pieces and turning into mental nourishment that merged into Ji Xuan's mental sea.

When the last wisp of spirit ring energy was completely refined, Ji Xuan slowly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light passing through them.

He sensed the Soul Power within his body, and a satisfied arc curled at the corners of his mouth.

His Soul Power had already directly broken through to the Peak of level 98.

But he did not pause, taking out the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's torso bone from his spirit tool, pressing it tightly against his chest, and continuing to absorb it.

On the sea surface, Shui Binger and the others had finished absorbing the energy dissipated by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and were currently standing on the back of a Devil Spirit Great White Shark, looking up at Ji Xuan in mid-air.

The school of Devil Spirit Great White Sharks led by Xiao Bai had also long since stopped feeding, each raising their heads, their eyes filled with awe.

During this period, everyone's cultivation had welcomed a significant Breakthrough.

Feng Xiaotian's Soul Power broke through to the level 90 Bottleneck, while Shui Yueer reached the level 80 Bottleneck.

Shui Binger and the Huo Wu siblings broke through to the Peak of level 89, just one step away from level 90.

Even the overall strength of the Devil Spirit Great White Shark clan had improved by a large margin.

A long time passed again.

The golden light around Ji Xuan suddenly retracted, completely merging into his body.

He rose into the air, his robes fluttering without wind, and a terrifying pressure spread from him as the center in all directions.

The people and the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks below felt this terrifying aura, and their breathing stalled.

Xiao Bai looked at Ji Xuan in disbelief; she had only felt this kind of terrifying pressure from the High Priestess.

"Brother-in-law... hurry and retract your pressure, I can't take it anymore!" Shui Yueer said, her face pale, gritting her teeth.

Ji Xuan retracted his aura, and at this moment, he looked like an ordinary person as he landed in front of them.

Shui Binger flickered and arrived beside Ji Xuan: "A-Xuan, what level are you at now? I feel like your aura is so terrifying, even a few points stronger than Senior Bo Saixi back then..."

Ji Xuan revealed a faint smile: "Level 99, Limit Douluo."

Strictly speaking, his Soul Power had already reached the apex of this continent, the Peak of level 99.

A million-year spirit ring, a million-year torso bone, plus two Divine-Grade Spirit Bones—the combined energy of these was terrifying.

For any ordinary Spirit Master, such a rapid rate of improvement would likely have caused them to be exploded by the violent energy.

But Ji Xuan had the Order Divine Power within his body, so not only were there no hidden dangers, but it actually made his Realm exceptionally stable.

"What? Brother-in-law, you've reached level 99 already?!" Shui Yueer exclaimed in shock.

The others also gasped, looking at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

A level 99 Limit Douluo; looking across the entire Douluo Continent, existences that could reach this Realm were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, figures standing at the pinnacle of the continent's pyramid.

And from killing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King until now, how much time had passed? Ji Xuan had actually leapt from level 90 into the Limit Douluo Realm?

"A-Xuan, are you going to Sea God Island next to accept the Ninth Trial?" Shui Binger asked softly.

She did not know that Ji Xuan had no intention of inheriting the Sea God's God Position at all.

Ji Xuan shook his head slightly: "Not for now, let's return to the continent first."

Naturally, everyone had no objections to Ji Xuan's decision.

"Xiao Bai, you all go back first, we are leaving."

Ji Xuan said to Xiao Bai, then raised his hand to tear open a spatial rift, stepping into it with Shui Binger and the others.

With his current strength, taking a few people back to the continent in one go was not difficult.

Before long, they arrived at Element City.

Currently, Qian Renxue was in the Elder Hall kneeling before the Angel God, preparing to open the God Trial, so Ji Xuan decided to stay in Element City for the time being.

"Xiaotian, wait a bit longer for your ninth spirit ring, I will take you to hunt a 100,000-year Spirit Beast later. Don't use that god-bestowed spirit ring of yours; leave it for your family."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Feng Xiaotian nodded in response.

"Binger, leave your god-bestowed spirit ring for Yueer as her ninth spirit ring. I know the tracks of two 100,000-year Spirit Beasts; when the time comes, you two can each take one."

A cold glint flashed in the depths of Ji Xuan's eyes; he had not forgotten that the Titan Giant Ape had once tried to kill him.

And now, it was time for him and Bibi Dong to settle their accounts.

"Huo Wu, use your god-bestowed spirit rings yourselves. With your current physiques, it won't be difficult to reach the 100,000-year spirit ring limit after absorbing them."

"Yes, Your Highness." The Huo Wu siblings responded in unison.

In the following days, everyone went into secluded Cultivation.

Shui Yueer used her own god-bestowed spirit ring and began absorbing her eighth spirit ring; the final spirit ring age reached over 90,000 years, infinitely close to 100,000 years, and her Soul Power successfully broke through to level 86.

As for Ji Xuan, he continuously converted the Soul Power within his body into Divine Power.

...

Two months later, Shui Binger successfully broke through to level 90, officially stepping into the threshold of a Titled Douluo.

Ji Xuan was not in a hurry to take Feng Xiaotian and Shui Binger to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings, but instead arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest alone first.

"This subordinate greets Your Highness."

A black shadow quietly emerged, and Gui Mei bowed in salute, his posture extremely respectful.

"Mm." Ji Xuan nodded slightly and instructed, "Elder Gui, return to Spirit Hall immediately and inform Bibi Dong of the specific tracks of those two 100,000-year Spirit Beasts."

"Yes, Your Highness." Gui Mei bowed again, and his figure flashed, turning into a black shadow and disappearing into the dense forest.

Ji Xuan stood where he was, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Gui Mei had been wandering outside for this period; he had left Spirit City with him initially.

Previously, Bibi Dong had wanted to hunt 100,000-year Spirit Beasts to complete her spirit rings, so she sent him out to search for tracks and confirm their specific locations.

After Gui Mei reported to him, he had specifically given instructions for Gui Mei to stand by for now and wait for his notification.

Now the timing was just right; he could hunt the Titan Giant Ape and settle the old scores with Bibi Dong.

He could not openly attack Bibi Dong in Spirit Hall, otherwise, it would be easy for others to find fault.

Although he didn't care about others' opinions, it was naturally better to have less trouble.

By having Gui Mei pass the message this time, he intended to lure Bibi Dong to the Star Dou Great Forest.

When he then happened to appear in Bibi Dong's field of vision, with that woman's temperament, she would inevitably take the initiative to attack him.

When the time came, after defeating her, he could logically seize the position of Supreme Pontiff.

...

Gui Mei quickly returned to Spirit City and informed Bibi Dong of the specific location of the 100,000-year Spirit Beast.

Bibi Dong immediately led Gui Mei and Chrysanthemum Douluo toward the Star Dou Great Forest...
