Chapter 1638: Breakthrough, Spirit Slash Realm Perfection! (Third Update)

Outside the Array, Second Uncle, who had been secretly observing, saw this scene and his eyes widened in disbelief, nearly jumping out of his hiding spot.

How could he not understand what Zhou Qing was doing at this moment?

Didn’t you say before that you seized the opportunity of Demon Saint Taichu Master in the Holy Martial Dynasty, which allowed you to break through to the late-stage Spirit Severing Realm?

It’s only been a few years, yet you’ve quietly advanced to the brink of Spirit Slash Realm Perfection?

Moreover, at this critical junction facing Ku E, Zhou Qing’s heart is so large that he can so effortlessly breakthrough cultivation?

In an instant, Second Uncle’s heart surged with waves, and looking at Zhou Qing, his gaze was filled not just with admiration but with several degrees of astonishment.

Not far away, a hen by the fence also raised its head, its mung bean-sized eyes fixed on Zhou Qing’s back, with a human-like sense of appreciation and admiration flashing in its eyes.

Then it gently flapped its wings and closed its eyes again.

But this time, it was no longer lazy, instead, it showed more vigilance, clearly also paying attention to the commotion inside the tower.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qing had his eyes tightly closed, his Heart and Spirit completely immersed within his body, using the route of “Yin Yang Skills” to fully guide the Black and White Spiritual Power to assault the bottleneck.

“Buzz—”

After an indeterminate amount of time, a low humming sound suddenly emanated from within his body.

Immediately following, an overwhelming pressure erupted from him as the center!

It was the aura belonging to Spirit Slash Realm Perfection!

At the moment of breakthrough, the cocoon of light around Zhou Qing suddenly exploded.

The black and white Spiritual Power spread out like a tidal wave.

Wherever it passed, the ground’s granite tiles shook with fine patterns, and the Spiritual Light of the Spirit Gathering Array dimmed considerably.

Even more peculiarly, the spreading Black and White Spiritual Power didn’t dissipate; instead, it formed a rotating two-color halo around him.

Black on the outside, white on the inside, like a small Taiji Array Map, constantly inhaling and exhaling Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, stabilizing his newly achieved realm.

Zhou Qing slowly opened his eyes, the black and white Spiritual Light flickered and vanished, his heart filled with excitement and amazement.

Since returning from the Holy Martial Dynasty, he had experienced countless life-and-death battles and realm insights, almost always fighting above his level.

The remnant Spiritual Power from Taichu Master’s opportunity, the accumulation of daily cultivation, coupled with the gains this time, allowed him to seize the opportunity to break through to Spirit Slash Realm Perfection.

Not only that, but the Spiritual Power within him continued to grow slowly, clearly still yielding benefits.

And at this moment, the Obsession Tower beside him strangely quieted down, the roars inside diminished quite a bit.

It’s likely that Ku E was very frustrated now.

The Resentful Evil Qi source he painstakingly absorbed had to contend with the Resentful Spirits in the tower, only to be siphoned off by some unknown force.

The speed at which his cultivation recovered was unbelievably slow, but he couldn’t pinpoint the issue.

He hesitated no longer and released a strand of Divine Sense once more.

This time, the Divine Sense was enveloped by the Purple Gold Thunder Arc, cautiously seeping into the Obsession Tower.

Inside, the Resentful Evil Qi remained violent but was isolated outside by the Thunder Arc, no longer able to easily disperse his Divine Sense.

The scene revealed to his Divine Sense startled Zhou Qing.

Ku E looked extremely miserable at that moment, with his monk’s robe torn to shreds.

His exposed flesh filled with deep wounds visible to the bone, black blood oozing from them, dripping onto the Resentful Spirit remnants in the tower, producing corrosive sizzling sounds.

But strangely, under the influence of “Demon-Suppressing Golden Bone,” his wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yet the flesh healing silently conveyed an odor of Resentful Evil Qi.

Around him, the Resentful Spirit remnants and Resentful Spirit Bodies continued their crazed assault.

Countless black claws and tentacles kept landing on him, but the weak Buddha Light around him deflected them.

The aura radiating from Ku E had also reached Spirit Slash Realm Perfection.

Even more alarming, dense black demon patterns emerged on Ku E’s body and face, like living things wandering beneath the skin.

Between his brows, an eye had opened.

Within the vertical eye, thick black vapor wafted, exuding bloodlust and madness—clearly, he had fallen into demonic madness.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but recall meeting Master Kudi at the Divine Ruins Celestial Palace last time; the demonic patterns and hostility they shared were identical.

It seems these brothers ultimately couldn’t escape the fate of falling into demonic madness.

His gaze slowly scanned above Ku E’s head.

The vanished word “[Father]” unexpectedly reappeared, though still unclear, but its outline could now be discerned.

Zhou Qing’s heart settled; it seems Gui Cang’s consciousness was gradually awakening!

He quietly withdrew his Divine Sense, but his brow furrowed tightly.

They couldn’t afford any further delay!

Though Ku E had already descended into madness, he continued to absorb the Resentful Evil Qi source.

If he were to recover to the Supreme Realm, he would certainly wield unimaginable Divine Techniques, potentially possessing Inscription-level Divine Techniques from Jiyuan Temple.

By then, even if they had an Extreme Dao Weapon, attempting suppression would be no easy task.

Moreover, the secret of the Extreme Dao Weapon should never be exposed!

Should Ku E break free and escape, spreading the news of him possessing an Extreme Dao Weapon.

Then it wouldn’t just be Supreme Realm cultivators chasing him; even Celestial Venerables would hunt him down, leading to truly no way out above or below.

And people shouldn’t be too greedy.

He hadn’t completely comprehended the Realm belonging to Spirit Slash Realm Perfection.

If he continued to share benefits, forcibly pushing towards a higher realm, it would make his Spiritual Power scattered and pose hidden dangers to the foundation of his cultivation.

The greater risk was, what if the absorbed energy exceeded control and Supreme Tribulation was triggered?

This is the third tail area, with dense manors and cultivator settlements nearby.

Whether the celestial anomalies of Supreme Tribulation or the exposure of Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown would thrust him back into the limelight.

Understanding all of this, Zhou Qing’s eyes flashed with a resolute killing intent—it’s time to end it all.

“Congratulations to you, for breaking through to Perfection; do you need help?”

Outside the Array, Second Uncle’s voice echoed again, filled with barely concealed excitement and joy, obviously genuinely celebrating Zhou Qing’s breakthrough.

Zhou Qing looked towards Second Uncle lurking in the dark, and with a slight smile, resolutely said, “Don’t worry, Second Uncle, I know what I’m doing, it will soon be over!”

After speaking, he exhaled deeply, stood up, and tossed a large number of Top-Grade Spirit Stones into the Spirit Gathering Array.

Then, Zhou Qing quickly formed Sealing signs with his hands, fingertips glowing brightly, the Spiritual Qi in the air violently fluctuating.

A pressure far more overwhelming than before spread from his body.

This was his sixteenth performance of “Daluo Demon Sealing Seal” in a day and night, and the first time he fully exerted it after breaking through to Spirit Slash Realm Perfection.

“First Seal, Suppress the Demon!” Zhou Qing shouted, the imposing Spirit Slash Realm Perfection aura erupted, vibrating the air around him loudly.

As his shout fell, an enormous golden seal materialized above the Obsession Tower.

This seal was larger than any previous one, with a diameter of ten Zhang, etched with profound Demon Suppression inscriptions, exuding a suffocating pressure.

Like a divine mountain descending from the Nine Heavens, carrying irresistible power, it crashed down onto the Obsession Tower!
