78: Chapter 78: Desperate Situation Erupts, Three People Simultaneously Break Their Limits

Inside the eighth level of the Bone Tower, the battle situation changed in an instant, extremely dangerous!

Xiao Xiner was wounded on her shoulder, blood staining her white clothes red, her figure staggering backward, her aura withered to the extreme.

Opposite her, the Kaiyuan Realm Perfection "Xiao Xiner Guard" had a bright, eerie light in its eyes, showing no mercy. The Sword Gang, condensing extremely cold killing intent, swelled again, chasing after her like a shadow, swearing to completely eradicate her!

The shadow of death suddenly descended!

"No!!"

A clear shout filled with intense unwillingness, humiliation, and determination suddenly burst from Xiao Xiner's throat!

Images flashed through her mind: herself desperately rushing into the vortex to rescue, the tragic scene of the Sect being destroyed and her father bleeding in the illusion, and Li Siwen stepping forward time and again at critical moments, even exposing his trump cards to protect her...

As a Senior Sister, with higher cultivation and an earlier entry into the Sect, bearing the expectations and responsibilities of the Sect... how could she always be a burden who needed to be protected, or even required teammates to sacrifice themselves to rescue her?!

Intense self-esteem and pride, mixed with anger at her own weakness and obsession with what she protected, erupted like a volcano in her heart!

An unprecedented, resolute will breached the dam of fear and despair!

"Break... for me!!"

She completely ignored the deadly Sword Gang chasing her, forcibly stabilized her figure, and poured all her heart, all her remaining Origin Qi, and even her burning life potential into her Dantian Qi Sea!

Boom—!!

A majestic aura far exceeding the previous one, like a prehistoric beast breaking free from its shackles, violently erupted from her body!

Kaiyuan Realm Perfection!

Under the immense pressure of this life-or-death moment, she had actually broken through in the middle of battle, forcibly breaking the barrier to the Kaiyuan Realm Perfection!

However, even with the Breakthrough, she only raised her cultivation from the Kaiyuan Realm Late Stage to the same Perfection Realm as her opponent!

The opponent had the blessing of the Bone Tower's Death Qi and an indestructible bone armor; her heavily wounded body was still in an absolute disadvantage!

But Xiao Xiner's eyes were firm and bright as never before!

Without the slightest hesitation, she flipped her jade hand, and a dragon-eye-sized, crimson-red Medicinal Pill that emitted violent energy fluctuations instantly appeared in her palm—a realm breaking pill!

This pill was given to her by the Sect for when she would impact the Xuanyuan Realm. Its medicinal power was peerlessly tyrannical and could forcibly tear through Realm barriers, but it also carried the huge risk of damaged Meridians and a shaken Foundation; it was not to be used lightly unless absolutely necessary!

At this moment, it was absolutely necessary!

She swallowed the Medicinal Pill without hesitation!

The Medicinal Pill melted upon entering her mouth, and a terrifying torrent of medicinal power instantly exploded, madly surging into her limbs and bones!

Her Meridians felt a tearing pain, but her aura swelled madly again at an incredible speed!

Infinitely approaching... and even vaguely touching that mysterious threshold of the Xuanyuan Realm!

Although it was not the true Xuanyuan Realm, the robustness and purity of her Origin Qi had already undergone a qualitative change!

"Moonlight... Infinite!!"

Ice flames seemed to burn in her cold, clear eyes, and the long sword in her hand emitted a hum that shook the tower level!

An unprecedented, brilliant moonlight burst from the sword body; it was no longer cold and bright, but carried a terrifying Sword Intent that burned everything and annihilated the void!

She did not retreat but advanced instead, violently striking with her sword to meet the "herself" that was chasing her!

Rumble—!!

Two Moonlight Sword Gangs, equally brilliant but containing completely different wills, violently collided!

This time, it was not Xiao Xiner who retreated!

The Sword Gang of the "Xiao Xiner Guard" was actually slashed to pieces and annihilated by this sword strike, which contained the power of the realm breaking pill and Xiao Xiner's desperate will!

The terrifying shockwave shook the "Xiao Xiner Guard" back repeatedly, and the bone armor on its body emitted faint cracking sounds!

The offensive was instantly reversed!

Almost at the same time—

"Master!"

Yue Li felt the desperate aura erupting from Xiao Xiner's side and the anxiety in Li Siwen's heart; a boundary deep within her Soul core that had always been sealed seemed to be touched and broken by this resolute will!

She had always been limited by her Puppet body and Remnant Soul state, so the strength she could exert was far less than when she was alive.

But at this moment, her strong obsession with protection resonated miraculously with the massive amount of Soul Origin she had absorbed earlier!

Hum!!

Inside her Soul body, something seemed to have shattered!

A power far deeper, more vast, and closer to her Origin than before, awoke and erupted like a dormant volcano!

Tianyuan Realm Perfection!

Powerful Soul Power fluctuations swept out, even temporarily suppressing the eerie drum sounds!

Gray-white light flared around her, her Soul body became more solid, and the liveliness in her eyes turned into cold majesty!

"Purification... Judgment!"

Her cold, clear voice carried an unprecedented sense of power as her hands formed Seals.

A gray-white Holy Light, far thicker, more condensed, and exuding a sense of judgment and termination than before, like a spear of divine punishment, instantly tore through the purification light curtain of the "Yue Li Guard" and slammed fiercely into its chest!

"Crack!"

The Soul body of the Tianyuan Realm Late Stage "Yue Li Guard" was shaken violently by this blow, its chest bone armor instantly covered in cracks, and its eerie green Soul fire dimmed by several degrees! Its offensive was suddenly frustrated!

As for Li Siwen, in the instant the eerie drum sounds were temporarily interfered with by Yue Li's outburst, he seized this fleeting opportunity!

"Now is the time!"

The Dongxu Spirit Eye Technique was pushed to the limit! The 300% terrifying Comprehension Ability bonus and mental focus brought by his cross-dressing state were perfectly guided by him to control his own power and perceive the Origin Qi of heaven and earth!

The thick Foundation of the Triple Extreme Realm operated madly with unprecedented efficiency, and the newly born wisp of Origin Qi in his Dantian rotated and expanded violently as if stimulated!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!

The dense Death Qi and Origin Qi of heaven and earth within the Bone Tower were forcibly plundered and absorbed by him in a tyrannical manner, surging madly into his body through the pores all over his body!

Ordinary Cultivators would never dare to absorb Death Qi here, but the Foundation he had built with the Triple Extreme Realm had a very strong capacity for tolerance and refining of energy.

Coupled with the precise guidance of the Dongxu Spirit Eye Technique, he actually forcibly converted some of the Death Qi into pure energy and merged it into his Dantian!

His cultivation Bottleneck of the Great Circle of Viscera Refining began to loosen under the dual pressure of internal and external forces and the blessing of his super-high Comprehension Ability!

His Origin Qi became thicker and more solid at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Although he failed to break through to the Kaiyuan Realm immediately, its quantity and quality had already far exceeded the scope of an ordinary Great Circle of Viscera Refining, infinitely approaching the true Kaiyuan Realm Early Stage!

Power! A stronger sense of power filled his whole body!

"Sword Dao · Extreme!"

He let out a long shout, and the crimson-red Sword Qi on the fengwu sword soared into the sky. It was no longer the dodging and blocking from before, but with a determination to go forward without hesitation, he actively met the bone sword of the "Li Siwen Guard"!

Clang!!!

A deafening sound of metal clashing rang out!

This time, Li Siwen's figure only swayed slightly before standing firmly!

And the "Li Siwen Guard" was actually shaken back a step by this sword strike that contained surging power!

Although it was only one step, it meant that the gap in strength between the two sides had been greatly narrowed!

In a flash, the three of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, simultaneously erupting with power that exceeded their own limits, forcibly turning the tide in this desperate situation!

Three powerful auras shone together in the eighth level of the Bone Tower, forming a new standoff with the three stronger mirror guards!

The situation had changed once again!
