Chapter 1114 Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm
Having finished all the necessary preparations for breaking through to the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a bit nervous at the thought that he might get interrupted by an Earth Immortal Realm illusory beast during his breakthrough.
Although he wouldn't have to go through any kind of tribulation as he was still in the Dao Domain Lord Realm and had yet to begin the process of breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm, the breakthrough would still cause a disturbance large enough to attract any nearby Earth Immortal Realm illusory beasts… And that was not mentioning the fact that there might already be some Earth Immortal Realm illusory beasts lurking nearby, just outside the range of his divine sense.
Shaking his head as he threw these worries to the back of his mind for now, Xuan Hao decided to check on his status one last time to make sure that everything was in order.
Name: Xuan Hao
Dao Domain: Dao of Ice (Small Success), Dao of the Sword (Small Success), Dao of Corruption (Small Success), Dao of Fire (Small Success), Dao of Space (Small Success), Dao of Illusions (Large Success Realm)
Sword Intent: Nascent Sword Soul Realm
Talent: ????
Bloodline: Three Immortals Bloodline (Half-Awakened)
Physique: ??? (79% Awakened)
Realm: Intermediate Stage Dao Domain Lord (Comparable to Peak Sixth Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm)
Professions: Alchemist (Artisan), Formation Master (Expert), Blacksmithing (Expert)
Sect: Star Shattering Sect
Status: Grand Elder of the Star Shattering Sect
Disciples: Qing Yi, Chu Yang, Bai Ning, Mui
Pet: Lazy Winged Lion (Peak Ninth Stage Domain Lord Realm), Rabbit Demon Beast (Fourth Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm)
Looking through his status, other than the fact that his physique getting closer to awakening and the fact that everything seemed to be ready for his breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, it also looked like the rabbit demon beast had managed to break through to the Fourth Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm over the past year.
Whether this was due to the environment in the Ephemeral Forest being suitable for its cultivation or if it was due to the help of Chu Li, it was a good thing that the strength of the rabbit demon beast had managed to increase over this past year. At least he could be certain that Chu Li was taking good care of his rabbit demon beast and the squirrel.
If I have the chance, I should find an opportunity to repay him for looking after the two after I get out of the Valley of Illusory Beasts. After all, he ended up looking after them far longer than the few months he might have been expecting to look after them. Not only that, but the rabbit demon beast also managed to break through to the Fourth Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm.
Feeling thankful that Chu Li seemed to have been looking out for his rabbit demon beast so much over the past year, Xuan Hao decided to repay him after he got out of the Valley of Illusory Beasts. At least given that his Dao of Illusions had managed to break through to the Large Success Realm, it wouldn't be that hard for him to guide him in the future.
Not only that, but he also planned to breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm now. Meaning that his strength would have reached a level comparable to the Earth Immortal Realm by the time he met him again. At which point he would indeed be a senior and didn't need to try and fool him.
Whoosh~
As he finished his train of thought regarding what to do after leaving the Valley of Illusory Beasts, Xuan Hao closed both of his eyes as he focused his full attention on breaking through to the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm.
Even if he wanted to find a place to hide away inside the Valley of Illusory Beasts, there wasn't really anywhere for him to hide given the disturbance caused by his breakthrough would inevitably spread out no matter where he hid.
In the end, he had concluded that it was better to just stay beside the terrifying illusion that engulfed the two illusory wooden gates. Maybe the Earth Immortal Realm illusory beasts would ignore the disturbance. Thinking it was just something related to the illusion, causing them to hesitate for some time before they decided to come over and investigate in person.
Even if they hesitated for only a few seconds, it might be the deciding factor for him to finish his breakthrough and escape to somewhere safe where he could hide and stabilize his cultivation base.
As Xuan Hao's aura continued to grow in strength over the next few hours, it suddenly came to a stop as it reached the pinnacle of the Intermediate Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm.
Crackle~ Crackle~
The air began to violently crackle with energy as Xuan Hao was at the precipice of breaking through to the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm. The light from the sun hanging in the sky above the valley illuminating the terrifying qi gathering towards him from all directions.
Rumble~!
Soon enough an energy storm spanning a little over a thousand meters in all directions had formed with him at the center.
Inside the storm, Xuan Hao remained in a state of deep meditation as the massive amount of qi began surging into his body. Pushing his strength beyond the Dao Domain Lord Realm and officially beginning the process of breaking through to the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm.
At the same time, inside his body, the massive amount of qi surged towards his dantian in an unstoppable manner. Not giving Xuan Hao the chance to focus on anything other than his breakthrough, as doing so might cause him to lose control over the massive amount of qi flowing into his body, something that could end up with him blowing up as a result.
Although he might survive if he abandoned his body in time and fled with his soul, he didn't really want to try something like that if he could avoid it…
Whoosh-!
As the qi began to fill up his dantian, it did not take long before it had no more space inside of it… And with this in mind, the only path the qi could take was to forcibly expand the size of his dantian, while at the same time being compressed at an unimaginable speed.
RUMBLE-!
In the process of this, everything inside of his dantian was forcibly destroyed by the qi as it was reduced to its pure energy state and merged together with the sea of qi. The only thing floating around inside of his dantian that managed to avoid this fate was his soul located at the core of the dantian and the nascent sword soul that had hidden away inside his soul.
Other than that, his dao domain was also going through a change as Xuan Hao clearly felt its size and strength growing far beyond what it had been before.
Boom!
At the same time, a fundamental change also seemed to take place with his soul, as a thin layer formed by the different Daos that he had comprehended so far formed around it in the shape of a closed lotus flower.
Because the Dao of Illusions was the only Dao that he had managed to reach the Large Success Realm in, the closed lotus flower shell around his soul seemed to be in an illusory state, while the powerful Dao of Space caused it to flicker in and out of existence.
The effect from the rest of the Daos he had comprehended was more subtle, as the Dao of Ice and fire caused the temperature around the closed lotus flower to fluctuate between freezing cold and burning hot, while the Dao of Corruption and the Dao of the Sword changed the appearance of the closed lotus to some degree.
To facilitate the creation of the closed lotus flower, all the qi that had gathered inside his dantian was sucked up by it, causing his body to absorb the qi more actively and in return causing the energy storm outside his body to grow in size as more qi rushed inside his body.
As the closed lotus flower finished absorbing all the energy it could, a radiant glow enveloped Xuan Hao's figure, while a transcendent power far beyond that of the Soul Ascension Realm emanated from his body.
BOOOOOM-!
In the pivotal moment after the closed lotus flower had been fully constructed around his soul, Xuan Hao felt the barrier between the Intermediate Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm and the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm shatter like glass.
After a long time stuck in the Intermediate Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, he had finally managed to break through to the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm!
