CHAPTER 222: CHAPTER 219: BREAKTHROUGH_1

BOOM!

Inside the sealed room, brilliant golden light emanated, and a mighty aura radiated from Qin Wudao’s body. Above his head, a Spiritual Energy vortex emerged, continuously devouring the surrounding Spiritual Energy. It merged quickly to form a spiritual rain, which gently dripped down outside the room.

The massive disturbance woke Xiang Yu, Li Yuanba, and other cultivators from their training!

"His Majesty is breaking through! Everyone, be on alert!"

"Dian Wei, Xu Chu, you two guard the entrance! Prevent any petty villains from causing trouble!" Xiang Yu, the most advanced cultivator among them and thus holding the greatest authority, ordered solemnly.

Breaking through a realm is perilous and requires a peaceful environment. As time passed, however, their location, Qilin Tour Peak, had attracted many factions participating in the East Border Grand Ceremony. If someone envious were to interrupt, the consequences would be severe.

Xu Chu and Dian Wei nodded, grasping their weapons as they stood guard at the door, their terrifying Evil Qi deterring everyone.

"Yuanba, you stand by the sealed room’s entrance!" Xiang Yu commanded further. He extended his right hand, and his Overlord Spear appeared, suffused with an aura that could dominate the world. With a flicker, he hovered above the room, his eagle-like eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

The power of a five-revolution Saint King sealed off the void in a hundred-zhang radius, turning it into a forbidden zone. Any intruder would be struck down.

"The Power of Laws! This person is about to break through to the Saint Realm!"

Sensing the breakthrough, doors of nearby houses swung open one after another. Numerous Saint King Realm powerhouses, accompanied by their own prodigies, stood at their doorsteps, gazing into the distance.

"A five-revolution Saint King... an unfamiliar face. I wonder which faction he belongs to."

A King with a six-revolution Saint King cultivation observed Xiang Yu, who was shrouded in Evil Qi. A hint of battle intent flickered in his eyes, but he made no move.

He wouldn’t stoop to deliberately causing trouble while someone was breaking through.

While some were people of integrity, others were despicable beyond belief!

In a house near the center lived a selfish and self-serving sect named the Green Stripe Sect. Its strength was average among the King-level factions, but it was despised for its sinister methods.

"Ancestor, that person breaking through to the Saint Realm must be a young prodigy. Should we make a move and eliminate a threat for our Young Master?" a sinister-looking youth inquired, cupping his hands.

Dong Changcheng, the Ancestor of the Green Stripe Sect, stood in the middle. Hearing this, he seemed somewhat tempted, a ferocious expression appearing on his aged face.

This generation of the Green Stripe Sect had produced a true dragon! Twenty-one years ago, on a stormy night, an individual with a special constitution was born. Having now broken through to the Saint Realm, they had an opportunity to achieve a top-ten rank in this East Border Grand Ceremony.

"We can!" Dong Changcheng decided after some deliberation, a fierce light glinting in his eyes. Terrifying Spiritual Energy converged in his hands, creating a bright green light that shot towards the Spiritual Energy vortex.

This attack reached the limit of a six-revolution Saint King!

Destroying the Spiritual Energy vortex would mean the breakthrough had failed!

"Courting death!"

Xiang Yu’s eyes flashed. His Overlord Spear thrust forward, wrapped in a sharp spear aura, its power immense as it destroyed the green beam of light.

Dong Changcheng stumbled back several steps, his expression ugly and filled with immense fury. He, a dignified six-revolution Saint King, had actually been repelled by a five-revolution Saint King! If word of this spread, how could he ever show his face in the world again?

With this thought, an overwhelming Blood Evil Qi erupted from him, shrouding everything nearby.

"Die!"

Before Dong Changcheng could make another move, Xiang Yu attacked first. His long spear, like a dragon, released a dazzling divine light. The void shattered violently, forming a pitch-black spatial fissure.

"Green Edge Sword!"

Dong Changcheng quickly summoned his ancestral weapon. A dark green, Saint-rank battle sword appeared above his head, forming an incredibly terrifying green radiance that slashed towards the spear energy.

However, the frightening power contained within the spear energy far exceeded his expectations.

The green Sword Qi shattered on contact!

PTOO!

Dong Changcheng’s face changed drastically. He tilted his head back and spat several mouthfuls of blood. His body flew uncontrollably backward, smashing into the house behind him and creating a huge hole.

In that hole, a youth dressed in green python robes with light green hair was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

"Ancestor!"

The disciples of the Green Stripe Sect were shocked and hurriedly ran into the broken house, their faces filled with worry.

"I advise you all to abandon your petty schemes!" Xiang Yu hovered in mid-air, shouting coldly. "Otherwise, even if I have to risk my life and spend my entire lifetime, I will uproot you and the factions behind you!"

Fighting beyond his level! A peerless prodigy indeed! observers thought in awe.

Infinite potential! Not someone to be provoked carelessly!

Seeing Dong Changcheng defeated in a single move, many experts were filled with dread towards Xiang Yu; none dared to act recklessly.

Despite the crowd, those assigned to Qilin Tour Peak were all from King-level factions. Excluding those not present, individuals capable of defeating Xiang Yu were few and far between.

Besides, even if they could defeat Xiang Yu, who would dare to kill within the Kylin Sacred Land?

A prodigy capable of fighting beyond his level would become an endless source of trouble if not slain on the spot.

Under everyone’s protection, Qin Wudao successfully broke through to the Saint Realm. The Power of Laws surged skyward, and a golden dragon soared into the heavens, roaring and unleashing a terrifying imperial might.

"I have arrived, and I will conquer!"

An imposing voice echoed in the ears of all present, causing everyone’s pupils to constrict slightly. This declaration alone was enough to make one’s blood boil.

Qin Wudao slowly stood up. He exhaled a turbid breath, shattering the void before him. Sensing the formidable power within his body, he revealed a faint smile.

Before his breakthrough, he had been somewhat apprehensive about the East Border Grand Ceremony. Many prodigies had already broken through to the Saint Realm. It would be incredibly difficult to contend against Saint Realm experts with only Heavenly Realm strength; after all, fellow prodigies undoubtedly possessed extraordinary means.

Unseen by anyone, a pair of supreme eyes high above Qilin Tour Peak pierced through the walls of the building, gazing down upon the newly advanced Qin Wudao, a brilliant light gleaming within them.

A faint imperial might materialized high in the sky! This was not the pressure of an Emperor, but the imperial intent of a Semi-Emperor expert!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on breaking through to the Saint Realm!"

Li Ru, Wu Ming, and the others stood at the entrance of the sealed room. Upon seeing Qin Wudao, they saluted respectfully, their faces beaming with a joy even greater than if they themselves had made a breakthrough.

"You have all worked hard!" Qin Wudao smiled, his aura retracted, becoming as deep and unfathomable as a vast ocean.

Who, among the countless factions in the East Border, could compare to someone reaching the Saint Realm before the age of eighteen? Li Ru thought to himself.

As the one in control of the Abyssal Guard, he was arguably the person in the Qin Dynasty’s Divine Court who understood the East Border best. He also had a general understanding of the strength of the prodigies there.

Currently, the foremost prodigy in the East Border was Shen Youlin of the Kylin Sacred Land, who had also broken through to the Saint Realm at the age of nineteen! That was a full year later than Qin Wudao! Although a one-year gap couldn’t decide much, it still represented a form of transcendence! He believed that in his future cultivation journey, if Qin Wudao could take one step ahead, he could take countless steps ahead, eventually surpassing everyone to stand at the pinnacle of the world.

On this day, everyone on Qilin Tour Peak, from top to bottom, was discussing Qin Wudao’s cultivation breakthrough.

For the first time, the name of this prodigy graced the grand stage of the East Border!
