Chapter 1894 - 201: Kunpeng Transformation, Breaking the Shackles Again! (Part 2)

At this moment, a flash of gold appeared in Jiang Ning’s hand, and three gold tickets, each worth ten thousand gold coins, were at his fingertips.

He handed them over to Chen An.

"Chen An, take these three gold tickets to the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion, and exchange them all for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can enhance Qi-blood and refine the body’s physique. Remember, the quality doesn’t need to be too high; it’s the cost-effectiveness that matters!"

Hearing Jiang Ning’s words, although surprise surged in Chen An’s eyes,

he still respectfully accepted the gold tickets and then nodded in response.

"I understand, my lord, I will not disappoint the Prince’s trust."

"As soon as possible!" Jiang Ning said.

"Yes, my lord!" Chen An said respectfully.

Then he quickly withdrew.

As Chen An boarded the small boat again, with a burst of breath, the boat cut through the lake like an arrow, and only then did Jiang Ning retract his gaze, once again focusing on the iron boxes in front of him.

"Continue!!"

...

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, the sunset had magnificently sunk into the mountain.

As dusk fell, the last ray of sunset turned into cloud and mist, covering the entire sky above the Royal Capital.

On the surface of Li Shui Lake, the shimmering waves also faded, leaving only the ripples that spread endlessly.

On the central island,

Jiang Ning slowly stood up, his gaze deep and contemplative.

The more than twenty iron boxes before him had long turned into empty shells.

The next moment.

The panel appeared before his eyes.

[Source Points]: 1287.9

"As expected!" Jiang Ning’s mouth slightly curved into a smile, "A bit more than I imagined! Chen An is indeed a competent steward!"

He was satisfied in his heart.

After refining the resources bestowed by Ji Minghao, plus the cultivation items purchased by Chen An with thirty thousand gold tickets, his source points accumulation broke through the thousand-point threshold in one fell swoop.

It reached over twelve hundred points.

Immediately.

He clenched his fist.

"Not bad, there’s been some improvement!" he thought to himself.

Refining so many cultivation items did not just bring an accumulation of source points.

He could feel his physical strength increasing with no apparent bottleneck.

Though those cultivation items were rather ordinary,

their accumulated quantity still had a growth effect on his physique.

[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill (Nine times break limit 100%) (trait: Whale Swallowing (Deep Gold) Dan Sea (Shallow Purple) Dragon Tendon (Shallow Gold) Dragon Body (Deep Gold) Innate Spiritual Light (Shallow Gold))

Vajra Immortal Body (Nine times break limit 0.02%) (trait: Dragon Elephant Power (Deep Gold), Leakless Body (Deep Blue), Ten-Foot Golden Body (Shallow Gold), Golden Body Immune (Deep Gold), Qi-blood Furnace (Deep Purple), Unfinished Spine (Shallow Gold))

As his gaze once again swept over the panel, his eyes slightly narrowed.

The Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill and Vajra Immortal Body had both reached nine times break limit level.

To progress further, 1000 source points were needed.

With the current accumulation of source points, he met the requirements.

But what differed was that the progress of the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill was already at perfection, lacking only the catalytic assistance of source points.

Thoughts flashed through his mind.

"No rush!" he calmly suppressed the fluctuations in his emotions.

Then, he clenched his fist again.

The force coursed throughout his body, and even without closing his eyes, he could now clearly sense the chains within him.

Each chain was a restraint added to his body, firmly binding him, not allowing escape.

"First, let’s see how many chains I can break with my full strength, and then allow the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill to break through."

"That way I will know, without mastering the Primordial Spirit Breaking Shackles Secret Method, how much accumulation the physique alone would require."

At this moment, Jiang Ning’s thoughts settled, and he did not hesitate further.

He slightly lowered his posture, spread his legs, standing rooted to the ground like an ancient tree.

His Qi-blood settled around him, and an invisible force rose from within him.

And he closed his eyes, introspecting himself.

The dark golden chains in his body presented themselves vividly before his gaze.

In his right arm, nine chains had all been broken, and at this moment, surging power churned within.

He skimmed past the right arm, letting his sight fall inside the left arm.

There, nine dark golden chains were tightly wrapped around his left arm, holding it firmly in place.

"Previously I thought the way I broke the chains was correct, only to realize it was all about sheer force!"

"The true method is to practice the Primordial Spirit Cutting Shackles Secret Technique!"

"No wonder the Martial Saint always emphasized, ’the body limitless, the spirit unbound’."

Many distracting thoughts surged within Jiang Ning’s mind.

Bang—

With a sound of chain-breaking ringing, within the left arm, the nine chains now reduced to eight.

"Even sheer force can be a method!" Jiang Ning felt a surge of delight in his heart.

Then, he exerted his strength once more.

Kakaka—

The sound of tightening chains echoed in his heart, as if countless chains had been pulled to their limit at that moment.

"Break for me—!"

He let out a silent shout in his heart and exerted force again with great vigor.

Bang—

Bang—

With two consecutive sounds, he broke two more shackles within his left arm.

In an instant, he felt a sudden relief throughout his body, especially in his left arm, as if shedding a burden of ten thousand pounds.

Following this, his spirit was invigorated.

"There’s still strength left, the limit should be the fourth or fifth!"

A thought rose in his mind, and without pausing, he once again summoned his Qi-blood, exerting his strength again.

Crash——

Suddenly, within his left arm, the clattering of iron chains sounded sharply.

He took another deep breath.

The next moment.

Bang——

Another sound rang out as another shackle was broken.

His body felt even more at ease.

"Again!"

He whispered to himself, not relaxing in the slightest.

He knew that now was the most critical moment.

At this moment, his complexion changed, and he couldn’t help but clench his teeth.

The exertion within his body had already affected his demeanor.

After several breaths.

Bang——

Another sound, and the fifth shackle was broken.

Only then.

Sigh——

He slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a long breath of impure energy.

An exhaustion filled his gaze, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

"The further it goes, the more difficult it becomes, requiring a stronger physical strength!"

He mumbled to himself.

His gaze then fell on the panel.

[Source Points]: 1287.9

"Next, if I want to break more shackles, the only path is for the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill to break through."

Jiang Ning’s gaze lingered on the panel for a moment, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

In the next moment.

With a thought, the Source Points on the panel instantly decreased by a thousand points.

[Source Points]: 287.9

Boom——

A thunderous roar echoed within his body.

This sound was like a whale, like a dragon, like an elephant.

It was not any specific creature, yet it seemed like any of those creatures.

The sound was primitive and domineering, ancient and mysterious.

His heart and mind trembled.

Suddenly, he saw an incredibly colossal creature.

The creature was swimming in an endless ocean.

Continents floated and sank on its back.

The surging waves it stirred up lashed out waves taller than the sky.

The next moment.

Caw——

A cry resounded through the heavens and the earth, causing Jiang Ning’s Spirit Platform to tremble.

His heart couldn’t help but quake.

He saw that the colossal creature roaming the endless ocean suddenly shuddered.

The sea surged, and waves soared into the sky.

That giant creature underwent earth-shaking changes.

Its immensely large body began to contract, then, a pair of wings covering the sky unfolded,

The wings were black as ink, yet they shone with golden light, each feather reflecting golden radiance.

When the pair of wings fully extended, heaven and earth changed color.

Its wings were like clouds hanging from the heavens.

A phrase suddenly popped into Jiang Ning’s mind.

Subsequently, he saw the giant bird take to the sky, raising gigantic waves and causing the sea to flow back into the heavens.

It soared straight up, piercing through the clouds, breaking through the nine heavens.

With each wingbeat, heaven and earth trembled, wind and clouds stirred.

His heart was instantly enraptured, forgetting time entirely.

He didn’t know how long it took, perhaps a moment, perhaps an incredibly long time.

When his consciousness returned, his mind and spirit were restored.

His eyes slowly returned to clarity.

At this moment, all the disturbances within his body had returned to silence.

He slowly lowered his head, looking at his own hands.

In the center of his palms, two profound patterns subtly appeared.

One like a fish leaping into the abyss, one like a roc spreading its wings to the heavens.

Within the patterns, there was an incredibly mysterious transformation.

"Kunpeng..." he murmured, a glimmer of understanding flashing through his eyes.
