Breakthrough to the eighth tier!
Unlike Lu Chuan, Little Qiqi only needs to consume Crystal Cores to directly evolve and transform. As long as she doesnât encounter extreme targeting, she usually wonât experience breakthrough failures.
But Lu Chuan knows that itâs very different for Evolvers. Their breakthroughs carry the risk of failure if theyâre not careful, and they might even harm their bodies.
Therefore, during a breakthrough, itâs best to maintain absolute silence so that the breakthrough wonât be disturbed at all.
Even though the Corpse Tide provides protection, itâs possible to break through in the camp. However, just in case, Lu Chuan still takes Little Qiqi to a deep cave he opened in the nearby woods.
This ensures that Little Qiqi wonât be affected by any external factors during her breakthrough.
"Dad, Iâm going in." Ji Ruxue said at the cave entrance.
"Yes, Iâll guard you, so break through with confidence!" Lu Chuan nodded and instructed.
Watching Little Qiqi enter the cave, Lu Chuan began to maneuver the Corpse Tide, swiftly moving it here to completely seal off the area from all sides, ensuring that not even a fly could get in.
Inside the cave.
Ji Ruxue descended slowly along the steps until she reached a hundred meters deep, where there was a sealed stone chamber with a stone door.
Inside the stone chamber, there were two platforms carved out of giant rocks.
On one higher platform was all the equipment Ji Ruxue usually used to concoct energy potions, alongside all her stored Demon Pills.
The other smaller, lower platform had only a soft cushion on it.
Ji Ruxue slowly walked up to the platform, first placing her backpack full of energy potions carefully on it, then sat cross-legged on the cushion, calming herself.
"This life is destined to be different!"
Ji Ruxueâs eyes were firm.
In her previous life, at this moment, she was only a fifth-tier Evolver and wasnât even the strongest within the human race, let alone when compared to other races.
But in this life, her fate is already different. She is about to break through to the eighth tier, becoming the strongest Evolver in this world!
And this life, she has her dadâs help.
The once formidable enemyâthe other racesâno longer seem as invincible and unbeatable!
Then, Ji Ruxue took two energy potions from her backpack and drank them in one swift motion.
Feeling the surging medicinal power within her body, Ji Ruxue dared not be careless, operating her Cultivation Technique to quickly convert it into seemingly endless energy.
During this period, supported by abundant resources and building on her previous lifeâs cultivation experience, her cultivation has reached the peak of the late seventh tier, not far from the pinnacle of the seventh tier.
Once she ascends to the peak of the seventh tier, she can start consuming a large number of energy potions to ascend to the eighth tier.
The massive energy is continuously refined by Ji Ruxue into Spiritual Essence, which merges into her Spirit Pill.
Then more and more Spiritual Essence flows out from the Spirit Pill, circulating rapidly through her meridians, accelerating the energy refinement speed.
As the energy from the two energy potions is continuously refined, Ji Ruxueâs aura begins to slowly rise, gradually overcoming the barrier of the seventh tier pinnacle.
Moments later, sensing the dwindling energy within her, about to be exhausted, Ji Ruxue dared not be negligent, quickly using Telekinesis to grab two more energy potions and poured them into her mouth.
Instantly, her internal energy is replenished once more, allowing Ji Ruxueâs upward momentum to continue unabated.
Time passed slowly. By now, there were eight empty potion vials on the platform beside Ji Ruxue, her aura growing stronger and stronger.
Boom!
Suddenly, after a rumble, Ji Ruxueâs body shuddered, and a violent aura emanated from within her, shaking the entire stone chamber.
"Seventh-tier pinnacle, accomplished! Next, itâs time to break through to the eighth tier!"
Slowly opening her eyes, feeling her changing strength, Ji Ruxueâs eyes filled with joy.
However, Ji Ruxue did not rush to continue breaking through. Instead, she looked at the package she had brought.
There were only ten energy potions left. Although it seemed like Ji Ruxue only used eight to break through the seventh-tier pinnacle just now, not much at all, she knew these energy potions were still too few for breaking through to the eighth tier.
Once she starts the breakthrough now, and if thereâs not enough energy potion at a critical moment, itâll be too late.
Immediately, Ji Ruxue stood up, walked to another platform, looking at various equipment and already processed Demon Pills on it.
Her next task is to use these Demon Pills to concoct enough energy potions to ensure no shortage of potions during her breakthrough to the eighth tier.
"Make the most of the time. After breaking through to the eighth tier, I still need to head to the Ancient Ruins, canât afford to waste any time."
In the next moment, Ji Ruxue used Telekinesis to drop a Demon Pill into the reactor while carefully adding other materials to start energy potion concoction.
Time is like water, and in the blink of an eye, a day has passed.
At this moment, inside the underground stone chamber, Ji Ruxue has returned to the cushion, sitting cross-legged, surrounded by energy potions.
All the Demon Pills have been made into energy potions by Ji Ruxue during this time.
There are more than two hundred of them!
With such a vast reserve of potions, Ji Ruxue no longer needs to worry about energy shortages during her cultivation.
"Next, itâs time to break through to the eighth tier!"
Excitement filled Ji Ruxueâs eyes as she quickly used Telekinesis to grab two energy potions and drink them down, immediately closing her eyes and focusing on her eighth-tier breakthrough.
...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
A cyan silhouette swiftly moved through the forest, making a series of whooshing sounds.
And all around, different kinds of Corpse Puppets were tracking Lu Chuan.
However, Lu Chuan, transformed into a cyan silhouette, had extremely agile Body Technique, able to weave through even when surrounded by Corpse Puppets, easily escaping from encirclement.
As time slowly slipped away, in a flash, three days have passed.
During this time, he has mostly stayed near the cave, training with the Body Technique battle results given by Little Qiqi, and sparring with his high-tier Corpse Puppets.
Since gaining the Corpse Kingâs Power, he is no longer the weak fighter who could only rely on Corpse Puppets in battle.
In terms of head-to-head at the same tier, he is now not inferior to Little Qiqi, with her Twin Talents and rebirth.
After repeatedly dodging high-tier Corpse Puppetsâ encirclements, Lu Chuan stopped directly, waved the Corpse Puppets away, and landed in front of the cave.
"I wonder how Little Qiqi is doing. If the breakthrough doesnât happen soon, itâll be too late."
Lu Chuan looked worriedly at the cave entrance, due to the unclear situation, afraid of going in and disturbing Little Qiqi at a critical moment.
Suddenly, at this moment, the ground shook violently, and an aura approaching the eighth tier gushed out from the cave entrance.
Feeling the change, Lu Chuan was all smiles, "Looks like Little Qiqi is about to break through!"
