"I can definitely break through!" he thought. Clenching his teeth, he took a deep breath, then absorbed more energy. However, instead of using it to blast through the chains, he began constructing it within himself.
Eight hours later, the fourth Tideflow was nearly complete. Yan Xiaobao's eyes glittered, shining brightly.
"Break! Co on, rest!" Roaring, he unleashed the Tideflow he had accumulated over the past eight hours. A massive rumbling sound echoed as it transford into a gigantic battering ram. His body was like a wall being struck by the ram.
Once. Twice. Three tis. Explosions occurred one after another in quick succession. Soon, cracks spread across that wall until finally, the power of the fourth Tideflow crushed the barrier. The sound of cracking filled the air, and at the sa ti, Yan Xiaobao visibly trembled. Suddenly, he felt the weight of five great mountains on his shoulders!
Those five mountains began internally but stretched out above him. They exerted a trendous pressure, making it hard for him to breathe, and only at this mont could he clearly feel them.
He suddenly wanted to destroy those five peaks to eliminate the pressure weighing on him!
"Those five mountains are the five Death Chains!" Roaring, he unleashed earth-shaking energy, breaking into the first of the five mountains. With an explosive barrage, the shackle suddenly crumbled!
In that mont, blood spurted from Yan Xiaobao's mouth. His Qi Path, his flesh and blood, and every part of him collapsed and then imdiately transford.
As an aura began to spread out from him, beyond anything in the Mortal World, he shivered. It thrived within his flesh and filled his body, making the whole world suddenly appear completely different.
There seed to be more color, more glisten, and simultaneously, he felt lighter and freer.
Before, he bore the weight of five enormous mountains, but now, one had been destroyed.
He broke through the first of the Death Chains!
As it happened, his physical strength erupted explosively. He instantly surpassed the mortal limits of a cultivator at Qi Condensation, entering the Foundation!
His flesh, blood channels, bones, all of these surpassed the mortal world.
He leaned backward, then let out a shout in all directions. The lake water churned, and the fourth rotation above remained steadfast. A mont later... the fifth vortex appeared!
In the fifth vortex was a crumbling mountain!
The fifth Tideflow was not provoked by the Dragon Mammoth Sea Formation Scripture. This mountain had nothing to do with it. This was the natural result of Yan Xiaobao breaking through the first Death Chain!
So far, Fang Lin, Song Que, and Nine-Isles were nearing the end of their own fourth Tideflows. anwhile, Ghostfang finished his third.
At the sa ti, other sect disciples had been engaged in fierce battles for hours. Just then, the second wave of disciples managed to form their Earth Capture Crystal.
The first in the second wave was Shangguan Tianyou. Almost simultaneously, Xu Xiaoshan's vortex also appeared in the sky.
Next was the dark horse Beihan Lie from the Fallen Sword World!
Finally, Zhao Rou from the Pill Stream Sect!
She sat cross-legged in a valley, with Gongsun Wan'er protected in front of her, face covered in blood. Shockingly, Gongsun Wan'er had no trace of life force in her!
She was dead, yet her corpse could still move. Though sowhat stiff, toxic mist poured out from her body, myriad poisonous centipedes crawling from her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. If a powerful expert appeared, they could say that Gongsun Wan'er's brain had vanished, replaced by a spider with a human face, controlling her body!
Gongsun Wan'er had beco a Poison Puppet!
"Gongsun Wan'er, you're my first poison puppet. Don't worry, I'll soon turn your brother into the second one!" With eyes gleaming with malicious intent, Zhao Rou began ditating, spinning in a rising motion above her. In the sky of the Fallen Sword World, nine trendous vortices revolved, slowly devouring any hope left in the disciples below. In any Holy Land for Foundation Establishnt, Earth energy is limited, and can only be used by so many cultivators to establish a Foundation.
Moreover, the number of successful cultivators is not fixed. If soone reaches eight Tideflows, they absorb more Earth energy than usual, significantly reducing the world's total, forcing so to prematurely end their own Tideflows.
Of course, soone reaching eight Tideflows isn't the most terrifying scenario... the worst is if a prodigy appears among the Chosen and manages to reach nine Tideflows. Once soone reaches the pinnacle of Earthstring Foundation, they will surely slaughter people from other sects trying to intervene and prevent their success. In fact, even those trying to interfere could be killed!
Such a thing happened only once, 800 years ago with Master Limitless. At that ti, the insane scenario played out, in which the Pill Stream Sect was completely annihilated, with only a few from the Profound Stream Sect and Spirit Stream Sect escaping with their lives. Even many from the Blood Flow Sect were slaughtered by the enraged Master Limitless.
For the disciples of the four sects who have not yet ford their Earth Capture Crystal, they must either resign to their fate or continue killing, employing any strategy to achieve success. Sotis that even ans ambushing their fellow disciples.
All for the chance to obtain the Earth Capture Crystal, and then reach the Earthstring Foundation.
Ti flew by. The second wave composed of Shangguan Tianyou, Xu Xiaoshan, Beihan Lie, and Zhao Rou completed the first three Tideflows. As for Ghostfang, he had completed his fourth and was continuing with his fifth.
Song Que and Nine-Isles were midway through their fifth.
Yan Xiaobao... was the fastest among them. He had almost completed his fifth Tideflow. Earth's energy poured into the vortex, forming the fifth spiritual ocean within him.
Four hours later, as the fifth vortex expanded within him, tremors shook him. The Tideflow exploded, his fifth Spirit Sea completed in the Dantian Region. His fifth Tideflow ended!
"Now for the sixth!" he said, his eyes glinting with intense focus. Having reached this point in the process, he didn't want to give up. He wanted to know his limits. He wanted to know how far he could go. He wanted to know... how many Tideflows he had!
"Violet Qi Cauldron Control Art was the foundation for my first Tideflow. Violet Qi Cauldron Summoning was the second. As for my third and fourth, those ca from the power of Dragons and Mammoths!"
"The fifth Tideflow should have co from the magic power of the ocean formation. However, because I broke through the first Death Chain, it beca my fifth Tideflow. Therefore, now it's ti to continue creating ocean magic and start my sixth Tideflow!" Taking a deep breath, he once again invoked the explosive force of the Dragon Mammoth Sea Formation Scripture. He had already used the power of Dragons and Mammoths, now it was ti to harness the power of ocean formation!
The so-called Sea Formation was actually a thod to create a spiritual ocean, forming a Dao foundation!
Almost imdiately, a sixth vortex ford in the sky, containing a majestic sea wave.
Although the vortex was a spectacular sight, it was sowhat unstable and wouldn't quickly absorb energy. Yan Xiaobao had the Waterswamp Kingdom, but didn't want to use it yet. Because he could utilize the power of sea formation, he didn't want to waste his mighty secret magic.
When other cultivators saw what was happening, they began to relax.
"Yan Xiaobao's sixth Tideflow is unstable. From its appearance, he's reached his limit, and won't last much longer. The crumbling mountain in the fifth Tideflow must be his only secret magic."
"Six Tideflows are already incredibly remarkable. Not to ntion, that would be spectacular!"
At this point, Fang Lin and Nine-Isles also relaxed. They stayed completely alert and closely monitored the progress of others.
"Yan Xiaobao's reached his end, so there's no need to worry about him any longer." That's what both of them were thinking.
Ghostfang frowned. Knowing that Yan Xiaobao hadn't used his secret magic, he could tell sothing strange was happening. As for Song Que, he watched, his eyes gleaming.
Ti flew by. Yan Xiaobao's sixth Tideflow slowly absorbed Earth's energy, despite the vortex's instability, it didn't collapse.
