227: Ten thousand feet of blood and energy, invincible on the surface

Another seven days passed in this intense training session.

During these seven days, apart from accompanying Yang Lele and the others to the Orca Pavilion on the second day, where he spent a day playing wildly with Little Orca, and occasionally going out to guide his clansmen in martial arts, Yang Dian embarked on a journey of continuous, day-and-night improvement of his strength.

Seven days later.

Yang Dian, who had been lying in a recliner with Tongtong in his arms, eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked at the sky, suddenly speaking:

"It's time for a Breakthrough."

He then got up, carried Tongtong, and found Yangs Mother, who was picking vegetables in the house:

"Mom, can you hold Tongtong for me? I need to go out for a bit."

Yangs Mother was startled:

"You're going out again?"

Seeing the sudden worry on his mother's face, Yang Dian smiled and said:

"It's not for a mission; it's because my strength is about to undergo a Breakthrough."

"However, I feel that the commotion from this Breakthrough might be a bit significant, so I plan to go out to sea to do it."

Yangs Mother finally breathed a sigh of relief, washed her hands in the kitchen, and then took Tongtong from Yang Dian's arms.

"How long will the Breakthrough take? When will you be back? Do you want me to prepare dinner for you?"

Yang Dian thought with a bitter expression, and finally told the truth:

"The Breakthrough itself won't take long, but after I'm done, I plan to go abroad for a trip."

"I should have left earlier, but it was delayed because of this strength improvement."

Recalling the time when the underground overlord of Western Sichuan burst out of the surface, Yang Dian finally said:

"I'll probably be abroad for about a month; I'll be back after a month."

Yangs Mother opened her mouth, and a thousand words ultimately condensed into one sentence:

"Then, are you coming back for dinner tonight?"

"Yes!" Yang Dian nodded without hesitation:

"If I'm leaving, it'll be tomorrow morning. Not only am I eating tonight, but I'm also eating breakfast tomorrow."

Yangs Mother then showed a hint of a smile:

"I'll call your father back to hold the baby, and then I'll cook for you..."

...Offshore, an unknown island reef.

Yang Dian, who had chosen a secluded spot, stood on the island reef and took a deep breath, facing the vast ocean.

As the salty sea breeze permeated his lungs, the thin Bottleneck of the Heaven and Man Unity Skill shattered in the next instant.

Then, the world seemed to 'come alive'.

The breeze, the seawater, the reef under his feet, the white clouds in the distance... the world began to turn.

A storm began to gather around him.

All things in heaven and earth seemed to have gained sentience, speaking to him.

However, this feeling only lasted for an instant.

After an instant, the inexplicably rising storm dissipated.

Yang Dian's 'vision' became hazy again, and all things in heaven and earth became no different from before.

Only Yang Dian knew that he was no longer the same as his former self.

"The fourth characteristic of the Heaven and Man Unity Skill, Heavenly Sound?"

As he muttered, Yang Dian first entered the state of Unity of Man and Nature.

Then, in his perception, the world became vibrant again.

All things rejoiced, speaking to him.

Unfortunately, their voices were too vast and too profound.

Falling into Yang Dian's ears, he could only understand a tiny bit.

But even this tiny bit was enough to cause a different change in Yang Dian.

For example... he reached out and hooked his finger towards the sea surface.

The seawater surged, and an inexplicably appearing vortex swept up a sea shrimp hidden in a reef cave, bringing it to the surface.

Then a sudden wave surged, striking the sea shrimp onto the fingertips of Yang Dian, who had just bent down and extended his right hand towards the reef.

"Heavenly Sound."

"Listen to the sound of heaven and earth, comprehend the principles of heaven and earth, and understand all kinds of techniques."

In short.

It seemed he, Yang Dian, could cultivate immortality... "That's not right either."

Yang Dian flicked his hand, and an overwhelming amount of Qi and blood surged out of his body, transforming into Flying Swords that circled around him within a radius of over three hundred meters, leaving countless long-lasting, unhealing furrows on the sea surface.

"My current strength should already be stronger than many cultivators, right?"

"Who says a Martial Immortal isn't an Immortal?"

With a thought, the Qi and blood Flying Swords turned back, and as they approached Yang Dian, they transformed back into Qi and blood, merging into his body.

"Seven days, and I've cultivated the Heavenly Sound characteristic!"

"It's a pity this characteristic is temporarily useless for strength improvement."

"To make Heavenly Sound effective in battle, I still need to calm down, take my time, and comprehend some powerful ultimate move."

"Otherwise, a small vortex that turns a few times is not as good as me slapping it with my Qi and blood..."

Muttering to this point, Yang Dian let out another breath.

"Fortunately, it's just that the characteristic isn't useful for now."

He mumbled, then extended his hand and clenched his fist.

The next moment, endless Qi and blood surged from his body, transforming into a towering pillar of smoke that shot tens of thousands of feet into the sky!

"Ten thousand zhang of Qi and blood!"

"Daoist Qingfeng's Qi and blood is 3,100 zhang, Uncle Yue's Qi and blood is 3,500 zhang, the director of the Wuan General Bureau's Qi and blood is 3,900 zhang, and the recluse on Zhongnan Mountain's Qi and blood is 3,200 zhang..."

"And mine, calculated carefully, is eleven thousand one hundred and eleven zhang!"

"That means one slap is equivalent to 3.5 Daoists, 3.1 Uncle Yues, or 2.8 Wu'an Bureau Directors!"

"And I haven't even used up all my energy!"

Slowly exhaling, Yang Dian then began to practice Hun Yuan Strength on the island reef.

After completing three sets of Hun Yuan Strength, Yang Dian, who had refined all his power into a unified Hun Yuan state, thoroughly tested his current strength.

Only when the sky began to darken did he take off and fly towards home.

"I still have over 110,000 units of energy. Next, I can focus on cultivating the Star Gazing Art."

"Once the Star Gazing Art develops its fourth characteristic, the Mental Energy spread range can reach 1,111 meters, and I can also differentiate 1,111 thoughts to accurately strike targets within a 1,111-meter radius."

"This range, plus the immense Qi and blood, can quickly destroy a city in a short amount of time."

"However, it's still not enough to destroy a province in a short time, so my combat power can only be considered City-Level."

"So, my current combat power is City-Level Great Perfection?"

"It doesn't matter; it's enough to crush those small countries abroad, and even destroying a country by myself is a small matter..."

"As for the remaining energy, I can cultivate while traveling."

"To make good use of travel time, perhaps I can ask the organization for an AI to drive for me?..."

Constantly calculating how to proceed when he went abroad, Yang Dian, who had just flown over his home, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when he saw the figures in the courtyard.

"Third Uncle, why are you here?"

Third Uncle stared blankly as Yang Dian landed.

It was one thing to hear from clansmen that Yang Dian could fly.

It was another thing entirely to see him fly right in front of him.

At this moment, he only felt that the world was so magical, truly changing in the blink of an eye.

Snapping back to reality at Yang Dian's call, the old man subconsciously took two steps forward, gripping Yang Dian's hand tightly, as if afraid he would run away:

"Tell Third Uncle, just how powerful are you now!"

Yang Dian pondered for a moment, then concluded based on the known information:

"Excluding technology, I am invincible on the surface."
