Dragon King Hall's Legend

Chapter 1960: Deadly Qi Surpasses Vital Energy! The Sacred Blade Protects Its Master! Breakthrough at Last!

"Boom!!"

With a sudden motion, Mu Jinyu threw all his belongings and the Qiankun Ring aside.

In that instant, a more terrifying gravity descended, crushing him so forcefully that his bones fractured and his flesh was torn, transforming him into a bloody figure in an instant.

Mu Jinyu finally realized, the gravity he initially felt wasn’t its limit; it was the Riot-Quelling Sword and Earth Emperor’s Tome, along with other Magic Treasures, that had helped mitigate some of it.

Allowing him to bear it better!

But now it’s different!

After casting aside these Magic Treasures, he was left with nothing else to share the burden of the pressure.

He could only rely on himself.

"Good!"

"Just like this!!"

However, despite his body being shattered and blood staining the ground, his whole being almost like a battered doll under a truck’s wheel, on the verge of collapse under the weight, Mu Jinyu managed to squeeze out a wild smile.

Because in such a desperate situation, he discovered that strands of Deadly Qi began to appear within his body.

Though not much, it proved his thinking wasn’t wrong!

And as time crept by, his situation would become more dangerous, then the Deadly Qi would appear even faster!

"Yes, indeed... with the appearance of Deadly Qi, Vital Energy will continually dissipate..."

Under this dreadful gravitational pressure, Mu Jinyu’s consciousness started to blur, yet he was still forcing himself to search for that chance.

Waiting for the moment when the Vital Energy and Deadly Qi within him would balance, allowing him to break through the Life and Death Realm in one fell swoop!

"Oh..."

Mu Jinyu let out a painful groan, truly feeling excruciating pain!

"Seems I’m really near death, can’t activate Blood Essence, can’t let it all end in vain..."

Mu Jinyu was unsure of his current injuries, but he knew that the Deadly Qi within him was surging more and more.

Therefore, he suspected he was genuinely close to dying.

He also didn’t know how long he had been in this Advanced Gravity Training Room?

Was it a few seconds?

Or have hours gone by?

Too prolonged, too unbearable...

He wished he could sleep...

Would sleep make it feel better?

Mu Jinyu’s consciousness grew more confused and dazed.

"Buzz!!"

Just then, the Earth Emperor’s Tome he had tossed aside slightly trembled, flickering with dim white light and deep black light.

This was the Mystical Little Tree and Three-Leaf Youlian sensing Mu Jinyu was close to death, trying to save him!

Unfortunately, they were within the Earth Emperor’s Tome, unable to stretch out their roots as usual.

Directly trapped!

Mainly because the Earth Emperor’s Tome’s quality grade was high, being an Ancestral Weapon!

And since the Earth Emperor’s Tome hadn’t been completely refined by Mu Jinyu, merely refined a bit, temporarily under a forced control!

Therefore, with Mu Jinyu’s current life-threatening crisis, this Magic Treasure remained indifferent, without demonstrating the so-called Divine Weapon protecting its master!

The Corpse-Wrapping Cloth showed no reaction, due to its high quality grade, not thoroughly refined by Mu Jinyu either.

As for the Riot-Quelling Sword, it sparkled with blinding sharpness, then as Mu Jinyu’s Vital Energy dwindled more, it emitted fierce clashing sounds, akin to a thousand troops in combat!

"Clang clang clang!!"

"Bang bang bang!!!"

Under the frantic vibrations of the Riot-Quelling Sword, Mu Jinyu’s gradually dispersing consciousness was awakened.

"I... I’m still alive..."

Mu Jinyu, thinking he was already dead, weakly murmured.

Then, he reacted, barely inspecting his body’s state, discovering that the Life and Death Dual Qi inside him had now reached an almost balanced state.

However, due to his previous dazed consciousness, missing the optimal opportunity, the Vital Energy within him turned out to be significantly lesser than Deadly Qi.

In other words, the Deadly Qi had surpassed the Vital Energy, beginning to suppress it.

Had he awoken a bit later, the consequences might have been unimaginable.

Fortunately, with the Deadly Qi only narrowly exceeding the Vital Energy, there was still a chance to remedy!

Mu Jinyu immediately gathered his breath, starting to operate the Humanity Path Sutra with immense difficulty!

With its operation, his remaining Blood Essence also became activated, commencing the healing of his injuries.

Instantly, the Vital Energy surpassed the Deadly Qi.

It became greater than the Deadly Qi yet again.

"Grasping the balance of Life and Death Dual Qi, indeed it’s challenging!"

Seeing the situation, Mu Jinyu chuckled bitterly, halting the operation of the Humanity Path Sutra!

Thereafter, Mu Jinyu’s whole body was in severe pain, his meridians seemed to tear, driving him nearly insane!

He realized his injuries had worsened too much, that last operation of the Humanity Path Sutra was his final chance.

But he ceased the operation, leaving him without further opportunities to continue operating it.

Mu Jinyu’s heartbeat slowed, breathing weak, his mind unbearably pained, ceaselessly disturbing his clarity.

Yet he understood, he was left with one last chance now.

When his injuries worsened further, the Life and Death Dual Qi would once again reach a balance.

At that moment, he had to seize the opportunity.

Otherwise, if Deadly Qi surpassed Vital Energy again, without the chance to continue operating Blood Essence to enhance Vital Energy, all that left would be awaiting death!

"Wait! No matter what, I must wait with clear consciousness, seize this final chance!"

Enduring the pain, Mu Jinyu ensured to keep conscious awareness.

Time slowly passed.

Mu Jinyu didn’t know if mere seconds or several hours had gone by.

He only painfully felt that the Life and Death Dual Qi within him had once again reached a balanced state!!

"Now’s the time!"

Mu Jinyu’s weak and dim eyes erupted with brilliant light, fiercely roaring in his heart.

Then, he couldn’t operate the Blood Tempering Chapter, instead ran the Marrow Nourishment Chapter, utilizing the terrifying gravity of the Gravity Training Room to squeeze his potential, reclaiming the chance to breach the bottleneck once more!

Harnessing the Life and Death Dual Qi within him, charging toward the bottleneck of the Life and Death Realm!

"Boom!!"

Mu Jinyu seemingly heard a fierce explosion from within his body, as if a wall had been blasted through.

Then, he felt the Life and Death Dual Qi within him no longer fluctuating but rather solidifying in this balanced state!

"Boom boom boom!!"

Thereafter, the Life and Death Dual Qi mysteriously rushed into his Blood Essence.

In a strange manner, merging with each other.

In a haze, Mu Jinyu seemingly saw nine shackles within his body, one black one white.

"Is this... the Mysterious Gate of Life and Death?"

Mu Jinyu looked at these shackles, vaguely recalling some rumors about the Life and Death Realm.

It’s said that most cultivators, after entering the Life and Death Realm, must constantly comprehend the Life and Death Law and devour Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that contain Vital Energy and Deadly Qi for enough Life and Death Dual Qi to advance their cultivation!

But a few cultivators experience a different Life and Death Realm.

Inside them, a Mysterious Gate of Life and Death exists, like shackles binding within, repressing their potential.

This group, to advance through the Life and Death Realm, doesn’t need the arduous efforts of comprehending the Life and Death Law and consuming Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

They only need to break the Mysterious Gate of Life and Death continually.

Every time a Mysterious Gate of Life and Death is shattered, they will obtain a moment of rapid advancement!
