62: Breakthrough to the Divine Power Realm

A moment later.

He walked to the door of the secret chamber where Gu Chuyan was imprisoned.

Looking through the Restriction, Gu Chuyan's will had already regained suppression over her Heart Demon and was slowly devouring its power bit by bit.

"The progress is not bad." Cao Bu nodded with satisfaction and whispered to himself, "Things obtained too easily are not cherished. I need to add some stronger ingredients for you."

After saying this, he turned and walked toward the neighboring secret chamber where Song Qianqian and Qin Lingling were imprisoned.

Hearing footsteps, the two women in the secret chamber immediately looked up. Seeing Cao Bu appear, their bodies tensed, and their eyes were filled with nervousness and fear.

"Steward Cao, we... we are willing to give ourselves to you, we only ask that you let us live after you are done." Song Qianqian's voice trembled.

Ever since they found out that Su Li was also one of Cao Bu's people, they had given up the idea of protecting their purity.

Compared to reputation, staying alive was more important.

Cao Bu smiled slightly, his tone carrying a hint of amusement, "Let you go? Then what should I do when your parents come knocking to seek revenge?"

These words were like a basin of cold water, causing the two women's hearts to tighten.

Qin Lingling said anxiously, "We can swear that we will never tell anyone, not even our parents, we won't mention a single word!"

Song Qianqian also nodded, her tone filled with pleading, "Yes! We will definitely keep our mouths shut and tell no one!"

Although that was what they said.

But the two of them had already made up their minds.

As long as they could return to their parents alive, they would explain everything that happened here in detail.

Since Cao Bu dared to take their purity, they would definitely make him pay a painful price.

They had even already thought of how to torture him.

First, tie Cao Bu up and subject him to death by a thousand cuts, slicing off his flesh piece by piece.

Then use the punishment of being cut in half at the waist, letting him feel the pain of his body being separated.

Finally, chop the remains into pieces and feed them to the dogs, so that not even a complete corpse would be left of him.

These thoughts flashed by in an instant. The two dared not show a hint of it on their faces; they only lowered their heads, pretending to be submissive and terrified, fearing that Cao Bu would see through their act.

Cao Bu smiled slightly. Although he did not know what the two women were thinking.

However, he was not a good person.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to let them go just because they begged for mercy.

Immediately, he said no more, opened the door to the secret chamber, and walked in.

Not long after, Cao Bu felt the surging energy within his body.

He immediately sat cross-legged and began to refine it.

Inside his Dantian and Qi Sea, the majestic Yin-Yang Two Energies were constantly compressed and condensed, launching an assault against the barrier of the Divine Power Realm.

That invisible barrier hummed under the impact of the energy, and fine cracks quietly spread.

Boom!

A muffled sound exploded from the depths of his Dantian, and the barrier of the Divine Power Realm shattered completely.

Immediately afterward, a phantom of a rune, interwoven with black and white and featuring complex patterns, slowly condensed above his head.

As soon as the rune appeared, the space in the entire secret chamber began to distort slightly, emitting a heart-palpitating fluctuation.

Even just as a phantom, its power far exceeded that of ordinary Divine Ability runes.

Song Qianqian and Qin Lingling, huddled in the corner, were so scared they held their breath, watching helplessly as the rune gradually solidified from a phantom.

They had never seen, nor even heard of, anyone who could condense such a terrifying Divine Ability rune upon first entering the Divine Power Realm.

Nourished by the Yin-Yang Two Energies, the black and white rune became increasingly clear, slowly descending to brand itself onto Cao Bu's Primordial Spirit.

He sat still, his aura shifting from surging to restrained, and his whole person exuded a feeling of being unfathomable.

He slowly opened his eyes, the black and white colors in his pupils flashing and vanishing.

"System, use the Divine Ability Designation Card." Cao Bu thought silently in his mind.

【Ding! Please specify the Divine Ability, Host.】

Cao Bu pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Specify the Divine Ability ranked first on the Divine Ability Ranking."

【Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have mastered the Divine Ability: Great Desolation Annihilation Fist.】

【Note: Great Desolation Annihilation Fist: When activated, it can absorb Spiritual Qi within a radius of one li to one hundred million li, erupting with 100% to 10000% of its power. The specific strength depends on the Host's physical endurance and the time spent gathering energy.】

At this moment, another golden Divine Ability rune condensed above Cao Bu's head.

He was stunned, but immediately realized what was happening.

So, the Divine Ability Epiphany Card was for comprehending one's Natal Divine Ability, while the Divine Ability Designation Card could grant an additional Divine Ability.

An ordinary person could only master one Divine Ability in their lifetime, yet he could possess two. The difference between them went without saying.

Song Qianqian and Qin Lingling were already dazed. Watching the second Divine Ability rune turn from virtual to real and transform into a golden light that merged into Cao Bu's Primordial Spirit, their eyes were filled with nothing but disbelief.

Cao Bu ignored the two women's shock and continued to order in his mind: "System, use the Divine Ability Epiphany Card."

【Ding! The Divine Ability Epiphany Card has been used. The Host is about to enter the Divine Ability Epiphany state.】

The moment the System's prompt faded, Cao Bu felt his Primordial Spirit jolt violently, his consciousness instantly falling into a mysterious and profound Realm.

His mind and the Yin-Yang Two Energies around him merged completely. With a thought, the airflow followed and circulated.

Deep within his Primordial Spirit, the black and white rune shone brilliantly.

Countless Profound Truths regarding "void" and "reality," "Yin" and "Yang," surged into his Sea of Consciousness like a rushing river.

He saw the separation of the clear and the turbid, the interaction of Yin and Yang; he saw the mutual generation of void and reality, and the rotation of Realms.

A kind of realization rose from the bottom of his heart.

Cao Bu's Natal Divine Ability was not created out of thin air, but originated from his own Foundation.

The majestic power of the Primordial Yin and Primordial Yang resonated with his Physique and Cultivation Technique, giving birth to a new Divine Ability.
