259: Chapter 252 Innate

As these words were spoken, the entire scene fell into a dead silence.

Everyone gasped, feeling their scalps tingle.

Although they had never witnessed a Grandmaster's Breakthrough, they could tell from this Aura that it was not the kind of commotion expected from the Innate Realm.

Grandmaster!

That was a legendary Realm!

In the entire Great Wei Dynasty, there were only a few dozen Grandmasters known to the public.

Each one of them was a supreme powerhouse capable of suppressing an entire region.

Their Demon Sound Sect had actually welcomed a super big shot who was about to achieve a Breakthrough to Grandmaster?

Sect Leader Fang Tianxing was trembling with excitement, his face flushed red.

"We've hit the jackpot! This time, our Demon Sound Sect has truly latched onto a massive thigh!"

"Everyone, hold your positions! No one is allowed to make a sound! If anyone disturbs the lord's Breakthrough, I will personally skin them alive!"

Sect Leader Fang Tianxing roared at the top of his lungs.

The Disciples were so scared that they hurriedly covered their mouths, their breathing becoming cautious as they feared making even the slightest noise.

Their gazes toward the back mountain were filled with awe and fanaticism.

Is this the world of the strong?

Just the commotion of the Breakthrough alone could change the color of the heavens and earth and make the wind and clouds churn!

It was incredibly awesome!

If one day they could be this badass, it would be worth dying for!

...

In the secret chamber of the back mountain.

Chen Ran was completely unaware of the commotion outside.

All his attention was currently focused on his Dantian.

The hundreds of bottles of Medicinal Pills on the ground had already been completely consumed, leaving not even a residue.

The immense medicinal power was rampaging through his body.

If it were anyone else, their body would have long since exploded into a mist of blood.

But Chen Ran's Physical Body was extremely formidable; he had cultivated various hard-body Cultivation Techniques, and his physical strength far exceeded that of Martial Artists of the same rank by several times.

A faint golden light emerged on the surface of his skin, forcibly withstanding this destructive impact.

A few quarter-hours later.

"Condense for me."

Accompanied by a low murmur,

Chen Ran mobilized all his True Yuan, launching the final charge toward the Bridge of Heaven and Earth.

Rumble!

Thunderous roars echoed from within his Dantian.

The final brick of the Bridge of Heaven and Earth was finally filled in.

Hum!

A bridge radiating brilliant golden light spanned across his Dantian.

One end of the bridge connected to the depths of his Dantian, while the other end directly communicated with the outside world.

It was done!

The Bridge of Heaven and Earth was completely connected!

At this very moment.

Chen Ran felt as if his body had broken through some heavy shackle.

An unprecedented sense of lightness spread throughout his entire body, as if he had unloaded a thousand-jin burden.

His perception instantly skyrocketed.

Every blade of grass and tree within a few miles, the rustling of wind blowing through leaves, and even the sound of ants crawling underground, he could hear clearly.

All the True Qi in his body was immediately purified by the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, transforming into incomparably pure True Yuan.

Chen Ran's Aura began to climb steadily.

A terrifying Aura burst forth from Chen Ran.

Boom!

The hard stone door of the secret chamber was shattered into powder, and the entire cave was teetering, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

...

On the front mountain plaza.

The members of the Demon Sound Sect were pressed directly onto the ground by this sudden Aura, unable to even lift their heads.

Sect Leader Fang Tianxing was prostrating himself, his whole body trembling like a sieve, with no dissatisfaction left in his heart.

Only pure joy remained.

"Congratulations to the lord for achieving Major Achievement in your divine technique! The lord is mighty and invincible in the world!"

Sect Leader Fang Tianxing roared at the top of his lungs, desperately flattering him.

The other Elders and Disciples also reacted and shouted along.

"The lord is mighty! Invincible in the world!"

The shouts of hundreds of people converged, resounding through the sky and making the valley vibrate.

In the secret chamber.

Chen Ran slowly opened his eyes.

Two rays of light, as if substantial, shot out from his eyes.

He clenched his fists, feeling the terrifying power like an abyss or a sea within his body.

A satisfied smile curled at the corners of Chen Ran's mouth.

"Is this the power of the Innate Realm?"

"Indeed, it is a completely different concept from the Return to Truth Realm."

He now had a feeling that if he encountered those previous opponents again, he wouldn't even need to use any Martial Skill; just by the pressure of his True Yuan, he could crush them into fragments.

The quality of True Yuan was at least several times stronger than True Qi.

Hundreds of years of cultivation, plus hundreds of bottles of Medicinal Pills.

Had forcibly pushed him to the Innate stage!

If this were to get out, it would probably scare those so-called Geniuses to death.

Others, when breaking through to the Innate Realm, were always cautious, preparing for three to five years, fearing even the slightest mistake.

He, on the other hand, just smashed through with his cultivation, forcibly smashing out a path to the Great Dao.

"Awesome!"

Chen Ran stood up and stretched.

He glanced at the empty bottles all over the floor and waved his hand; the jade bottles instantly turned into powder.

He stepped out of the secret chamber.

The sunlight outside was a bit dazzling.

Chen Ran narrowed his eyes and looked toward the front mountain.

He could feel that hundreds of people were lying there, each one so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe.

Chen Ran's figure flashed.

His entire person instantly vanished from where he stood.

Within a few breaths, he had already appeared in the front mountain plaza.

Chen Ran looked down at the crowd from a high vantage point.

He did not deliberately release his Aura, but the pressure brought by the crushing difference in strength still made everyone unable to catch their breath.

"Everyone, rise."

Chen Ran spoke indifferently.

The voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, as if it were resounding in their minds.

Sect Leader Fang Tianxing hurriedly climbed up, bowing and scraping as he approached, his face filled with a fawning smile.

"Lord, you have come out of seclusion! Congratulations to the lord for your great advancement in cultivation and your divine technique that covers the world!"

Chen Ran glanced at him.

"Well done."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Fang Tianxing was so excited he almost jumped, feeling like he was floating on air.

This was practically a get-out-of-jail-free card. With these words, who would dare to provoke their Demon Sound Sect in the future?

"The lord is too kind! It is the honor of everyone in our Demon Sound Sect to serve the lord!

If the lord has any orders in the future, just speak up; we will go through fire and water, and will not refuse!"

Sect Leader Fang Tianxing guaranteed while patting his chest.

Chen Ran nodded.

He was in a good mood now.

Having broken through to the Innate Realm, his strength had undergone a qualitative leap, and he finally had a foothold in the capital.

The next step was to return to the capital and apprehend that monster.

Chen Ran pondered for a moment, glancing at the Sect Head of the Demon Sound Sect before him.

Constrained by his Blood Seed control, there was no need to worry too much about Sect Leader Fang Tianxing betraying him; besides, they didn't even know his true identity.

Chen Ran ordered in a low voice:

"Remember, do not reveal my whereabouts to anyone; otherwise, you know the consequences."

Chen Ran's tone was flat, but the killing intent in his words made everyone shiver.

"Rest assured, Lord, we will absolutely keep our mouths shut. Whoever dares to leak even half a word, I will personally slaughter them and exterminate their nine generations!"

Sect Leader Fang Tianxing guaranteed while patting his chest, then suddenly seemed to think of something.

"However, regarding the intelligence you asked me to keep an eye on, there is new development..."

"Intelligence?"

Chen Ran recalled that he had previously tasked the Demon Sound Sect with gathering intelligence, so it was likely they had made a new discovery.

Without wasting any more words, he took Sect Leader Fang Tianxing, and their figures flashed away, leaving the scene.

...

The members of the Demon Sound Sect did not recover for a long time.

It was not until the other party completely disappeared from their sight that those Disciples let out a long sigh of relief.

One of the True Disciples sat down on the ground, feeling his back soaked with cold sweat.

"Elder, what exactly is the background of this lord? It's too terrifying!"

A demonic-looking man with long hair asked with lingering fear, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Those who could speak now were all Core Disciples of the Demon Sound Sect.

Although the previous True Disciples had all disappeared, this was a demonic sect after all, and it didn't take long for new candidates to be selected.

The person speaking was a True Disciple who had just taken office in the last few months.

Moreover, he had extremely high talent and showed faint signs of potentially replacing the position of the previous Que Wuhua.

However, the answer to the question was completely different from what the True Disciple had imagined.

The inner sect Elder glared at him, his usual kind attitude gone completely.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't! You only need to remember that this lord is an existence we cannot afford to provoke!"

"Pass down the order: no one is allowed to speak of today's events to anyone outside; those who violate this order will be executed without mercy!"
