Chapter 331: Hope of Breaking Through Again
In the night sky, the massive figure within the immortal fog stared ahead, sensing that a God was also watching from the opposite side, casting a cold gaze.
Above the pitch-black cloud layers, they gazed at each other from a distance, with an inexplicable Tao Rhythm converging on the heavens, followed by a thunderous roar from the Outer Domain.
Meanwhile, below in the Land of Divine Tragedy, the battle continued, staining the plains with blood.
Qin Ming fought across realms, his white robe stained with blood. Even the ever-renewing Heavenly Light Force outside his body could not block all the splattering Demon Blood; he himself was already bleeding.
On this battlefield, changes happen in an instant, with unexpected situations arising at any moment.
Just like earlier, a heavily injured Fourth Realm Great Demon charged into this territory, rampaging wildly, as the Hanshan Hammer could indeed smash mountain walls.
Even someone as strong as Qin Ming was sent flying at their first encounter, blood at the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, he had already broken through to the Third Realm; otherwise, facing such a sudden situation would have meant certain death.
The Great Demon was shocked, a little white-robed general one realm lower turned out so formidable? Such a fierce blow, even a young Ape Demon King should have exploded!
The Great Demon, already heavily wounded, pretended to be dead in the Fourth Battlefield, seeking an opportunity to come to this area, intending to kill the genius of the Human Clan.
Unexpectedly, the moment he arrived, his soul was greatly shaken.
Next, he was even more shocked. After attacking the young man and a series of clashes, the dense cracks on his body broke open again, and he was covered in blood.
This time, encountering a high-level opponent, Qin Ming was injured for the first time, immediately getting serious, going all out, his Spirit Field Wave expanded, and his killing aura surged.
Clearly, the Fourth Realm Great Demon was already at the end of his strength, with nine terrifying wounds almost tearing his body apart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have feared battle, fled the original battlefield, intending to come here to bully the future Ancestor Master of the Human Clan, only to hit an iron wall.
In the end, he himself... exploded!
Qin Ming shook off the Demon Blood from the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade and returned to the battlefield once more.
Traversing vast territories, someone of his solid foundation, even in such a life-and-death bloody battle, was very fatigued, and he began sustaining injuries, his white robe turning into a robe of blood.
No one could remain unscathed on a battlefield where two races clashed on a large scale, where all beings fought bloodily, vying for life.
However, Qin Ming's eyes grew brighter, though he was tired and injured, he quickly recovered by simultaneously fighting and refining the "Miracle Blood."
He felt his Taoist cultivation subtly enhancing.
Undoubtedly, such a bloody melee, constantly hovering on the brink of life and death, was helping him maximize the refinement and absorption of medicinal properties, effects that were absent in normal times.
The healing medicines obtained from Helian ZhaoYu were temporarily set aside.
Whenever Qin Ming was injured or fatigued, he extracted the essence from the Miracle Blood Medicine on the battlefield.
However, he knew that in the short term, making a breakthrough on the battlefield was very difficult, if not impossible. After all, the Newborn Road is a daily gate, and brutal reality lay there.
Recently, he had been studying the "Ba Wang's Will."
As a genius like the Overlord, once he set foot in the Third Realm, his cultivation speed began to surge dramatically, but only compared to others on the Newborn Road.
The geniuses on the Newborn Road, at the Second Realm, took ten years to break through each minor threshold, and after entering the Third Realm, the difficulty doubled, with each step taking twenty years.
The Ba Wang's Will describes using the Great Trend of Heaven and Earth, like external "Heavenly Field" and "Earth Field," to promote the metamorphosis of one's Spirit Field, significantly improving efficiency.
For instance, the Overlord harnessed the natural world's wind, rain, thunder, and lightning against enemies, utilizing secret places in mountains and rivers to nurture the human body's Spirit Field.
One might say, with his divine gift, he reduced the time to break through each threshold from twenty years to six or seven years.
"From the Spirit Field Realm, from the Early Stage to Mid Stage, and then to Late Stage, before finally making the breakthrough to the Fourth Realm, even for the Overlord, it took about twenty years."
Qin Ming moved while drenched in Demon Blood, contemplating this time span, slightly frowning, feeling indefinitely touched, the Newborn Road is indeed challenging, yet considered efficient.
Upon reaching the Fourth Realm, the time required to make a breakthrough would probably double again.
When the Overlord became a Supreme Grandmaster, he was already over a hundred, an age considered "in the prime of life," even still a "youth."
Even looking at Fangwai and the Esoteric Buddhism, although not the absolute fastest, it's not considered slow either, so after the bloody conflict between the disciples of the Overlord and Cao Qianqiu, he directly entered Old Cao's terrifying vision.
The difficulty of the Immortal Road's checkpoints mainly lies after the Fourth and Fifth Realms, and even so, it is surely faster than those on the Newborn Road in terms of progress.
"Frankly speaking, with my extraordinary talent, if I use the Overlord's methods, I might even halve the time, so would breaking through to Mid-stage Spirit Field take three years? More aggressively, could it be compressed into one or two years?"
Qin Ming sighed, wanting swifter progress!
But the Newborn Road is a daily gate, equivalently challenging.
"Throughout history, during each great war, some people could rise rapidly, and right now is the opportunity!" His eyes regained their brilliance.
He genuinely felt that his Taoist cultivation improved.
Previously, he plundered the Mysterious Blood Medicine Garden of the Six Imperial Ancestor Court for many days, yet obtained only eight types of medicine.
Today, after a brief encounter, he already acquired seven kinds of treasure medicine.
Amidst the fierce battles of thousands of troops, although death was imminent, it also contained great opportunities!
Qin Ming quickly refined another type of Miracle Blood, the effects were excellent, each battle helped him refine medicine, promoting the absorption of exotic materials into his body.
