128: Breakthrough to the Realm of King

An hour later, Cao Bu stood up reluctantly.

A sweet, milky fragrance lingered around Fang Ruodan, captivating his soul and making him unable to resist taking another look as he turned away.

After recovering from that wave of limpness, Fang Ruodan looked up and glared fiercely at Cao Bu.

She then took out a Pill Furnace, preparing to help him refine Medicinal Pills.

Cao Bu walked to a corner and raised his hand, grasping at the air; the yin yang emperor stele appeared out of nowhere in his palm.

As soon as the stele appeared, a terrifying pressure from a supreme dao emperor weapon flashed and vanished.

Fang Ruodan, who was about to begin Alchemy, turned her head to look. The moment she saw the emperor stele clearly, her pupils constricted, and her voice trembled slightly: "A supreme dao emperor weapon! You actually have two!"

Cao Bu stared at the yin yang emperor stele and said in a flat tone, "It's just a supreme dao emperor weapon. I have plenty on me; there's no need to make a fuss."

"Would you die if you didn't brag?" Fang Ruodan set the Pill Furnace down heavily on the ground and said coldly, "In the entire Spirit Realm over millions of years, including those hidden supreme dao emperor weapons, the total number wouldn't exceed ten."

"You have two here, and the three Heavenly Emperors—Huang, Ye, and Chu—each hold one. Your brother Lu Chen should also have one, and adding the three Demonic Path Heavenly Emperors, that makes nine in total."

"If you could still take out..."

Her words came to an abrupt halt.

Beside Cao Bu, two objects had somehow begun to float.

One was an ancient and heavy bell-shaped emperor weapon.

The other was a radiant and colorful armor emperor weapon.

Both emitted a heart-palpitating pressure similar to that of the yin yang emperor stele.

Fang Ruodan's gaze was glued to these two emperor weapons, her mouth slightly agape, so shocked that her breathing slowed by half a beat.

"This... how is this possible?"

"You alone possess four supreme dao emperor weapons?"

"No, you haven't even comprehended any Laws, how can you control emperor weapons?"

Cao Bu just smiled and didn't explain, casually putting away the wushi bell and the yin yang emperor armor.

"Work hard for me, and it's not impossible that I might reward you with a supreme dao emperor weapon in the future."

"Are you serious?" Fang Ruodan snapped back to her senses, her eyes erupting with wild joy, her previous coldness vanishing completely.

Cao Bu nodded and said casually, "It's just a mere supreme dao emperor weapon. Even if I don't have a hundred on me, I certainly have ten."

Fang Ruodan curled her lip; this was most likely a lie.

Where would so many supreme dao emperor weapons come from in the Spirit Realm?

Yet, she still couldn't suppress her excitement.

After all, she had seen four with her own eyes. If she could really get one from Cao Bu, the boost to her strength would be unimaginable.

It was just a pity there wasn't a cauldron-shaped supreme dao emperor weapon; otherwise, using it for Alchemy would be perfect.

"Alright, focus on your Alchemy. I'm going to start comprehending Laws."

Cao Bu paid no more attention to her thoughts, his gaze falling back onto the yin yang emperor stele, his eyes filled with fervor.

After his observation just now, he had already found a clue regarding the Laws within the emperor stele.

He sat cross-legged, his mind completely sinking into the yin yang emperor stele before him.

The stele was ancient and weathered, its surface covered with mysterious and unfathomable patterns—not words, but the manifestation of Law traces.

The pressure of the emperor stele had already been withdrawn. Looking closely, one could still feel a majestic Dao charm originating from the Heaven and Earth Origin lingering around.

Cao Bu's eyes didn't blink, and deep within his pupils, Yin-Yang Two Energies faintly circulated, quietly resonating with the Dao charm on the emperor stele.

The next moment, the patterns on the stele came to life in his eyes.

They were no longer static carvings but two swimming fish chasing and entangling with each other.

One black and one white, white within black and black within white—this was the supreme Profound Truth of Yin and Yang generating each other and the unity of opposites.

"Extreme Yin produces Yang, extreme Yang produces Yin; movement and stillness are in harmony, flowing endlessly..."

Within his Sea of Consciousness, the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao echoed—it was the true essence of the Law he had comprehended himself from observing the Dao charm.

At the same time.

The majestic spiritual power at the Peak of the Void Breaking Realm within his body began to move involuntarily along a mysterious trajectory, gradually splitting into two distinct forces—one cold and one hot, one hard and one soft—flowing slowly through his Meridians.

Half of the spiritual power became fiery, active, and full of life, like the midday sun.

The other half became cold, tranquil, and contained extinction, like the cold moon at midnight.

The two forces rotated slowly within his Dantian and Qi Sea, forming a blurry prototype of a taiji diagram.

Fang Ruodan was about to add Materials when she felt the strange fluctuations coming from Cao Bu. She couldn't help but look sideways again, a flash of surprise in her beautiful eyes.

"He's triggered a resonance with his own spiritual power so quickly; this guy's Comprehension Ability is truly monstrous."

She paused, a trace of pity flashing in her eyes. "Of all things to comprehend, he just had to choose the Yin-Yang Law."

"Back then, Gu Qingtian was only able to kill the Sword Emperor by crossing five minor Realms."

"For this bastard to step into the Great Emperor Realm, he must kill the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor by crossing nine minor Realms."

"However, since he has Heavenly Emperor Lu as a brother, Lu Chen will likely take action to erase the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor, thereby clearing a path for this bastard to qualify for the Great Emperor Realm."

At this thought, Fang Ruodan couldn't help but mutter, "What exactly is so special about this bastard?"

"To think someone like Heavenly Emperor Lu would acknowledge him as an elder brother. Could it be that Lu Chen is blind, or is there something wrong with his head?"

Complaints aside, Fang Ruodan knew now was not the time to be distracted.

She composed herself and refocused on the Pill Furnace. Condensing spiritual power at her fingertips, she carefully added the Materials into the furnace in order, focusing on refining the emperor venerable pill.

According to the Pill Formula, if this pill could be refined, and Cao Bu took it at the Quasi-Emperor Peak stage, he might be able to cross several minor Realms directly.

Unfortunately, the Materials for refining the emperor venerable pill are too rare and hard to come by; it's likely that a second one could never be refined in the entire Spirit Realm.

Otherwise, if she could swallow one, breaking through several minor Realms would be effortless.

Time passed slowly in the silence.

Occasional soft sounds of Materials clashing came from the Pill Furnace, making the room seem even quieter.

Cao Bu had entered a state of selflessness.

It was as if he saw the essence of the world.

Heaven and Earth are divided into Yin and Yang; day and night alternate, the four seasons reincarnate, and life and death cycle. The operation of all things in the world contains the traces of the Yin-Yang Law.

This Law is not simply light and dark or cold and heat, but a fundamental rule that governs the operation, balance, and transformation of all things.

The taiji diagram inside his body became clearer and clearer, and its rotation speed grew faster and faster.

The solid barrier between the Void Breaking Realm and the Realm King Realm began to tremble violently and crack under the grinding and washing of this Yin-Yang power.

"Yin and Yang manifest into the Law! Break!"

Cao Bu shouted low in his heart, and the Yin-Yang Dao charm in his Sea of Consciousness completely fused with the taiji diagram in his body.

"Boom!"

A majestic aura far exceeding the Void Breaking Realm surged out of Cao Bu's body, instantly sweeping through the entire space.

The taiji diagram in his Dantian completely stabilized, rotating slowly and naturally absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to convert it into pure Yin-Yang spiritual power.

Realm King Realm!

At this point, Cao Bu had not only successfully comprehended the Yin-Yang Law but also broke through the Realm Bottleneck that had troubled countless Cultivators, officially stepping into the ranks of Realm Kings that Spirit Realm Cultivators dreamed of!
