128: The attempt to break through to innate abilities failed!

PS: Seeing the chapter title today, you'll know the plot has a bit of a twist, but don't be in a hurry to flame me, please trust me!!!

..."Boom!"

Accompanied by a world-shaking shout.

In an instant, Lin Yi's three treasures—Essence, Qi, and Spirit—seemed to fuse into one, undergoing a complete sublimation!

At this moment, his terrifying physical constitution, powerful Blood Qi, vast Soul Power, and that mysterious will—even every one of the trillions of cells in his body—all seemed to combine into a single entity. They worked together with one heart, pushing Lin Yi toward the Innate Realm!

Finally—

"Buzz!!!"

The Void Realm trembled, and a powerful Soul Power broke out from its shell like a sprout from a seed, emerging from Lin Yi's mind.

In an instant.

In Lin Yi's eyes, the world had changed!

The air flowing in the Void Realm and the layers of space, which had originally been invisible and formless in Lin Yi's eyes without any peculiarities...

But now, in Lin Yi's eyes, every wisp of air and every patch of space actually contained colorful, brilliant specks of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

These specks of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi were like kings in the Void Realm; each one ruled over a patch of space and countless "air subjects," being aloof, proud, and incomparably powerful!

At the same time, each of them emitted waves of attraction that were practically fatal to Lin Yi.

This was the attraction of a life's deepest instinct longing for a leap, longing to realize a fundamental evolution!

"Come here!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi's eyes shone with divine light, his heart filled with incomparable anticipation and desire. He immediately used his Soul Power, which had extended out of his body, to drive these Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Then—

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In the room.

One speck! Two specks! Three specks... Under Lin Yi's Soul Power, specks of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi were rapidly moved and absorbed into his body, fusing with his Physical Body and Blood Qi.

This caused his body to undergo an astonishing transformation almost every moment. Once the transformation was complete, that would be the moment of his Breakthrough!

And time slowly passed during his transformation... Fifteen minutes!

Thirty minutes!

One hour!

Two hours!

...Just like that, Lin Yi continued to cultivate in the room, until finally, a full twelve hours had passed.

Finally... "Rumble!"

Inside Lin Yi's body, countless Blood Qi surged and roared like vast rivers.

At this moment, his Physical Body's Blood Qi had already reached a critical point.

Countless specks of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi fused with his Physical Body, making his entire frame seem to glow.

His breath and his Aura were also many times stronger than his previous First Rank limit; he was only a step away from the true Innate Realm!

And this step required relying on one final, massive absorption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to complete the transformation.

"Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, come!"

With a thought, Lin Yi roared in his heart.

In the next moment, his Soul Power, as vast as a river or sea, swept toward the countless specks of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Void Realm like a surging wave.

But—

"Boom!"

The moment all of Lin Yi's Soul Power touched these specks of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

At this time, Lin Yi only felt an unparalleled pressure instantly weigh down on his mental Sea of Consciousness and his endless Soul Power.

It was as if an ordinary person had touched a ten-thousand-pound boulder. That massive and terrifying weight threatened to crush Lin Yi in an instant. Forget about driving it into his body, he couldn't even move it at all.

"No! How is this possible! How can my Soul Power still be insufficient! This is impossible!"

Lin Yi's eyes widened, and he roared in his heart, unable to believe it.

To break through to the Innate Realm, besides having the Divine Soul emerge from the body, the most important part was this final step of absorbing a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi at once to completely transform oneself.

And now, if he couldn't absorb a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi at once, not only would he be unable to break through to the Innate Realm...

But the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that had already fused into his body would rapidly dissipate, damaging his body and making it impossible for him to fuse with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi again for a short time, let alone attempt another Breakthrough.

This consequence was absolutely unacceptable for Lin Yi, who was about to enter the Martial Emperors Relic Palace.

After all, if he couldn't break through to the Innate Realm, he wouldn't be able to obtain the divine weapons and peerless divine weapon within the Martial Emperors Relic Palace, nor would he get the treasure that could help him break through to the Martial Saint and higher Realms.

Although he had a cheat in hand, and even without this treasure, as long as he had enough silver later, he could evolve sufficiently powerful talents to make up for the loss.

However, this was a treasure that could help a Martial Artist break through to the Martial Saint and higher Realms!

If he lost it, how much silver would he have to spend and how many talents would he have to evolve to compensate for this loss!

How could Lin Yi be resigned to this?

"No! Get in! All Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, get inside me!"

Thinking of the terrible consequences, Lin Yi roared in his heart, frantically driving his Soul Power to surround those specks of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Void Realm, desperate to bring them into his body.

However, these specks of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi were simply too heavy for Lin Yi! Too heavy!

So heavy that even with his full effort, he couldn't budge them in the slightest!

In fact, the more Lin Yi tried to move them, the faster his Soul Power was consumed.

Until, after a stalemate of about ten breaths.

"Psh..."

Like a deflated ball, all the Soul Power in Lin Yi's mental Sea of Consciousness was completely exhausted during these ten breaths of stalemate.

Then... "Boom boom boom!"

Inside Lin Yi's body, the specks of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that had originally fused with his Blood Qi instantly became like floodwaters through a broken dam, frantically dissipating back into the world and severely damaging his body.

After dissipating for over a hundred breaths.

"Pfft!"

In the room, accompanied by a mouthful of bright red blood sprayed from Lin Yi's mouth.

This attempt to break through to the Innate Realm had failed!
