Chapter 1864 - 186: Break the Shackles, See the World!

In the early morning, the first rays of dawn spilled into the courtyard.

Jiang Ning slowly finished his exercise, sensing the abundance and strength of Qi-Blood within his body, a hint of satisfaction appearing on his face.

The first batch of resources sent by Ashina had been completely refined by him yesterday, and the Source Points had also increased.

Though not yet reaching a thousand points, he was one step closer to the target of a thousand.

[Source Points]: 903.1

His gaze swept over the Source Points section and then looked at the Skill section.

[Skill]: Vajra Immortal Body (Eight times Break Limit 10277/900000) (Trait: Dragon Elephant Power (Deep Gold)...)

"At the current efficiency, it will take approximately seven days to achieve Perfection.

Thinking of this, his heart settled, and he continued to focus on his cultivation.

...

In the blink of an eye.

A few more days passed.

In the courtyard.

Jiang Ning slowly finished his exercise, Qi-Blood around him receding like tide, and the faint golden lines on his muscles gradually faded.

He let out a long breath of impure energy, like a sharp sword splitting the air, traveling several meters before gradually dissipating after several breaths.

[Skill]: Vajra Immortal Body+ (Eight times Break Limit 900000/900000) (Trait: Dragon Elephant Power (Deep Gold)...)

"Finally, Perfection." He murmured to himself, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

This supreme martial arts of the Vajra Temple, obtained from Shen Congyun, had been cultivated until now, experiencing multiple limit breaks, reaching the completion of eight times Break Limit.

Every step of accumulation was through solid hard work, with no shortcuts available.

If he hadn’t had the panel to aid him, enabling him to clearly see the growth of Experience Value, it would have been challenging to reach this step in such a short time.

For these past days, in order to further enhance efficiency, he hadn’t rested for a moment.

Then, he clenched his fist, feeling the vast power within him.

The completion of eight times Break Limit of Vajra Immortal Body once again elevated the strength level of his physical body.

His muscles and bones were tougher, his skin tighter, Qi-Blood more condensed, and the power from Dragon Elephant Power surged within him, ready to burst forth at any moment.

Then, his gaze fell on the panel, and the number in the Source Points section led him into contemplation.

[Source Points]: 903.1

Nearly a hundred points short of a thousand.

And Ashina’s second batch of materials had yet to arrive.

"It’s been six days already, logically, after the first batch of materials arrived, the second batch should have arrived as well! The accumulation of the Golden Tribe over these years isn’t small!" He thought to himself, looking northwards, "Could something have happened with Beiman?"

At this moment, his gaze seemed to penetrate the courtyard wall, the Celestial Palace City, the mountains and rivers, reaching the vast Great Grassland.

He didn’t trust Ashina, this woman.

Talented and an exceptional heroine.

But precisely because of this, he trusted her even less.

Because the more capable someone is, the more they have a personality that won’t easily be controlled by others.

"Waiting isn’t a solution!" He thought again.

Whether it’s Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill or Vajra Immortal Body, both are supreme martial arts that enhance physical strength, far exceeding superior martial arts.

In his perception, the effect brought by Vajra Immortal Body was greater than Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill.

"If that’s the case, then there’s no need to hesitate!" He thought to himself.

Now, having just understood the great secret of the human body, knowing the way to break the shackles, he needs to quickly improve the strength of the physical body to swiftly break the shackles and enhance strength.

There’s no certainty on when the subsequent resources from the Great Grassland will arrive.

As for going to the Great Grassland, he currently does not want to take that risk.

On the grassland, the power of the Honorable God in the Great Snow Mountain is unknown, and its attitude is also unknown.

But ever since his awakening, he’s been on guard against this Honorable God in Great Snow Mountain, because silently, his Heart Spirit was shaken, and his mind bewitched by it.

His gaze next fell on the panel.

[Source Points]: 903.1

"Breaking through Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill requires a thousand Source Points, needing nearly a hundred points to make the breakthrough, whereas Vajra Immortal Body requires five hundred Source Points for its breakthrough."

"Moreover, both the skills of Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill and Vajra Immortal Body have similar focuses on enhancing physical strength and fortifying physique."

As he calculated in his heart, he quickly made a decision.

Since breaking Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill still needs waiting, and Vajra Immortal Body only needs five hundred Source Points to step into nine times Break Limit, this path shall be taken first.

Enhancing the strength of the physical body is crucial as the foundational element for breaking the shackles.

His right arm has already broken six chains, with three remaining requiring stronger physical power to shake.

Not to mention the limbs, organs, and head, totaling ninety chains, the journey is long and arduous.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and made up his mind.

Instantly, the Source Points on the panel began to rapidly decrease.

In the next moment.

A mysterious feeling erupted from every piece of skin and muscle in his body.

He felt as though his skin was torn apart by an invisible force but then reassembled in a tighter, more intricate structure.

Each inch of skin trembled violently in this process, with pores bursting forth dazzling golden light, as if countless small suns exploded within his body.

"Buzz——"

A low, humming sound emanated from his body, with layers of glass-like golden light flowing unceasingly, as if forged by Vajra, indestructible.

As his pores opened and closed, threads of golden divine light sprayed out, weaving into an aura around him, illuminating the whole courtyard brightly.

He clearly felt the qualitative leap occurring in his body’s defense.

At this moment, he instantly understood which trait was changed by this breakthrough.

Because the normal breakthrough of Vajra Immortal Body had never brought such intense sensations.

Then he quietly immersed himself in the transformation process, feeling every change in his body.

For a long time.

The golden light slowly receded within, leaving only golden patterns flowing on the surface.

This was the manifestation after Great Sun Divine Body was stimulated.

At this moment, he slowly opened his eyes, golden gleam in his pupils.

He slightly lowered his head, fingers slowly clenched and then relaxed, feeling the feedback from the pull on the skin of his palm.

With that, he had a hunch.

If he were to confront King Zhuanlun’s eight-armed Celestial Dragon Dharma Aspect again, even without using the ten-tael Golden Body, just relying on the unbreakable Golden Body achieved through this breakthrough, he could withstand the slashes of the Demon Suppressing Sword without injury.

His physical defense had reached another level.

With this thought crossing his mind, his gaze once again fell on the panel.

[Source Points]: 403.1

Then, his gaze descended further.

[Skill]: Vajra Immortal Body (Nine times Break Limit 1/1000000) (Trait: Dragon Elephant Power (Deep Gold), Leakless Body (Deep Blue), Ten-tael Golden Body (Light Gold), Golden Body Immutable (Deep Gold↑), Qi Blood Furnace (Deep Purple), Unfinished Spine (Light Gold))

"Just as I thought!" He thought quietly.

Earlier, sensing the changes in his body, he had already understood, with a high probability, that the trait of Golden Body Immutable had improved.

And now, it was exactly as he guessed.

This breakthrough led to an enhancement in the trait of Golden Body Immutable.

The greatest effect of this trait is enhancing his body’s defensive power.

He clenched his fist again, feeling the changes brought by the breakthrough of Vajra Immortal Body.

While its greatest outcome was increasing physical defense.

Power and Qi-Blood also saw improvements as a result.

Compared to before, strength was boosted by two to threefold.

"If that’s the case, then the next step can be taken!"

He thought to himself.

Following this, he exerted force with his body, muscles in his right arm bulging like a dragon.

A few breaths later.

Bang——

A sound echoed within his body, instantly breaking a chain.

Moments later.

Bang——

...

Bang——

Two consecutive sounds, breaking the remaining chains on his right arm.

In an instant.

A surge of power emanated from his right arm, a power seemingly inherent within him.

Merely locked away, confined, restrained.

Now freed, released.

No more constraints.

Power in the right arm surged upwards, far beyond what breaking one chain after another could achieve.

"Shackles, these are the shackles!!" He felt a surge of heroism within!

Breaking the shackles, witnessing the heavens!

At this moment, enlightenment dawned within him!
