Night.

It was as black as ink and completely silent.

In the darkness of the night, a vigorous gray shadow moved like a ghost, leaving behind many afterimages as it disappeared from the Wu manor, attracting no one's attention.

Wu manor.

In a mountain with lush greenery and peaks that reached into the clouds, Wu Hao executed Phantom Step and flew through the forest as if he was made up of flying trees, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the summit of the mountain.

The strange rock here was flat and suitable for sitting cross-legged. Coupled with the fact that it towered high into the clouds and had abundant spiritual energy in the sky, it was a very suitable place for cultivation.

Tonight, Wu Hao quietly came out in order to cultivate and break through.

The spirit energy in Wu manor was too murky, it was not suitable for him to make a breakthrough. After pondering for a while, he decided to choose this place.

Currently, his cultivation at the third level of the Lesser Heaven stage was not yet complete, but tonight, he had decided that not only would he have to cultivate to the peak of the third level, but he would also have to break through the shackles of the third level.

He had made ample preparations and was 100% confident that he would be able to break through.

After sitting down on the strange flat rock in front of him, with the help of the cold starlight from the night sky, he took out a milky-white spirit essence stone the size of a pigeon egg from his secret pocket.

The spirit essence stone was a strange stone that the martial arts practitioner used to cultivate or trade in currency, and it contained pure spirit energy.

The spirit essence stone in his hands, according to its origins, was something that he had risked his life to go deep into the crater of the volcano and successfully harvest for the silk-clothes man.

After a few exchanges, they found out that the other party was Sibyl and coincidentally knew his father, Wu Haoran. After finding out that he was the other party's second son, they took out this spirit essence stone as compensation for harvesting the Fire Spirit Grass.

This was also a pleasant surprise, as a capable old man was different. When the other party heard the news, he immediately took out the spirit essence stone as reward.

spirit essence stone s were suitable for martial arts practitioner to absorb, but in truth, it was not suitable for warriors below the Innate Realm to absorb.

However, as a innate body, Wu Hao, who was born tough and had been tempered for a few days, was able to barely use it.

Of course, he still had a Herba Thunbergii. From the looks of it, it was very possible that he could cultivate to the Xiantian Full Circle realm or even half a step into the ectopic stage in a short period of time.

After a few days of preparation, apart from the trouble with Lady Wu, he had sufficient cultivation resources. In the coming days, he would work hard to cultivate.

He would break through the Innate Realm as soon as possible, and then join the Hundred Trials in half a year, and then enter the Tianwu Gate to become a martial arts practitioner, and open up the true path of martial cultivation.

The pure elemental spirit energy contained within the spirit essence stone turned into a strong stream of air and flowed into his meridians, filling up and rushing towards the undeveloped meridians.

The only way to dig was to dig.

Star Shift.

In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed.

The next step was to break through the shackles of the Third Sky of Houtian realm. As long as he could break through that special barrier, he would be able to break through to the Fourth Sky of Houtian realm.

After waking up for a short while, he took out the Herba Thunbergii leaf he had prepared beforehand and crushed it in his palm. He crushed it into powder and threw it into his mouth, swallowing it.

The moment the Herba Thunbergii leaf entered his mouth, it melted and turned into a warm current that rushed into his meridians. He quickly closed her eyes and entered into a calm state, immersing herself in trying to control this warm current and looking for an opportunity to break through her shackles.

This special barrier of the Third Sky of Nascent Level was the barrier for warriors of the early Houtian realm. Compared to the First or Second Sky of Nascent Level, it was much more difficult to pass this barrier.

This was because once it broke through, it would represent an entirely new realm, one that had crossed into the middle stage. The inner strength within it would greatly change and would be several times stronger than before. Therefore, it would be relatively difficult to break through.

However, with his talent, breaking through a mere bottleneck would definitely not be a problem, not to mention the help of the Herba Thunbergii leaves.

Just two hours later, the internal energy in his sixty meridians was almost saturated.

Suddenly.

The night was vast, and the cold starlight reflected off of it.

White mist roiled around his body as if a sea of clouds was churning around him. His aura was majestic and covered his body until it was faintly discernible. It was as if he was a god descending to the mortal world with ethereal dao intents.

It was at this moment that an invisible aura surged out from his body, enveloping a radius of five feet.

In an instant.

The surrounding clouds roiled, the grass drooped, and the dust settled.

This scene was truly strange. As he continued to roll and stir about, he was so silent that even a speck of dust was left motionless.

This formless aura continued to envelop him for a long time.

And at this time, within the sixty meridians in Wu Hao's body.

The air current formed by the inner force churned and swirled like a river, its momentum mighty as it rumbled through the entire river.

At the end of the river, there was a barrier that blocked their path. A golden Qi vortex was formed by the rapid rotation of the Qi, constantly attacking and shaking that barrier.

Instantly.

The entire world seemed to have come to an end as it endlessly trembled.

Along with a violent explosion, the sixty meridians that flowed through formed a line. With a flash of golden light, it fiercely charged towards the huge mountain.

BOOM!

RUU!

Ka-cha! *

With a cracking sound, a crack like that of a spider web appeared on the giant cliff. Following the continuous impact of the river, the crack quickly spread out.

Time.

Little by little, time passed.

After an unknown period of time.

The huge barrier shattered with a rumble, completely shattering into pieces.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

An even more mighty roar suddenly rang out. The river current was like a waterfall cascading down from the sky, its momentum even more vast and mighty. The momentum of the forward charge did not decrease at all but instead increased.

Outside.

Wu Hao's original body.

The remaining power from his breakthrough brought with it a tremendous amount of power. It was unstoppable as it traveled through the thorns and thorns. The clogged meridian channels were actually being rapidly excavated by the remaining power from his breakthrough.

In the blink of an eye.

The east was white.

One night of cultivation had made Wu Hao full of energy.

When the morning light shined slightly, he, who had cultivated for the entire night, opened his eyes.

The soul consciousness looked through it and actually had a hint of surprise.

The results of one night's practice had unexpectedly surpassed the results of the past few days' practice. Not only had he broken through the barrier of the Houtian third stage, but he had also reached the peak of the Houtian fourth stage.

One night.

In just a few hours, he had managed to open more than twenty meridians. This was truly out of his expectations.

Opening his palm, he looked at the spirit essence stone that still had a dense source of Yuan Spirit, as though nothing had changed. He muttered to himself: "Looks like I underestimated it before, with this spirit essence stone assisting in Heaven Martial God's Art cultivation, I will advance much faster!"

He smiled. This was great.

After putting away the spirit essence stone, he entered the forest below in a flash. He activated Phantom Step to its limit, and moved about like a ghost.

In the meantime, the Overlord's fist displayed its might, transforming into tens of thousands of fist shadows.

Time flowed on.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Wu Hao would return early every day and night, and every night, he would cultivate at the peak of the rear mountains. In the morning, he would return after using the Phantom Step's own Overlord's fist.

Whether it was Mu Qian or Xiao Cui, who were both secretly protecting him, they had long ago gotten used to it, and were no longer like how they were on the first day, when they came back from the outside early in the morning.

On this day.

Jiao Ruhua, who had created a huge commotion and instigated her great power to search for the overbearing martial arts in the surrounding cities, had finally found a set of heaven defying overbearing martial arts s that were said to be of high-grade Heaven-ranked.

At this time, an old man with white hair and a Taoist appearance, under the guidance of the setting sun, passed through many alleys in the Wu manor and arrived in the middle of Jiao Ruhua's courtyard.

Jiao Ruhua who had already received the news, had someone to brew a pot of top-grade spirit tea, she herself sat at the master's seat in the hall, her expression was no different from before but her heart was burning with anxiety and waiting.

The person who found the upper overbearing martial arts of the Heaven Stage was her middle-aged steward. According to him, he had found them in other cities.

However, the other party's price was too high, and her manager was unable to make the decision, so she decided to first lure him to the Royal City and then report back.

After Jiao Ruhua found out about this, he searched for her for three days but to no avail.

After waiting for half a day, he finally managed to get her to come.

Raising his head to look at the door, he saw a white-haired old man slowly walking in with his hands behind his back.

His face was dignified, slightly arrogant, and did not look at anyone with normal eyes, including Sunset, which included her, Jiao Ruhua.

You are Wu Mansion Jiao Ruhua? The moment he saw her, he opened his mouth and spoke to her. However, his tone was very cold, without any sort of courteous tone in it.

Who was she, Jiao Ruhua? Which honorable Lady Wu wouldn't be respectful to her?

Right now, the tone and haughty attitude of the other party made her rather unhappy. She immediately furrowed her brows.

However, the setting sun beside her immediately gave her a look, causing her tightly knitted eyebrows to quickly relax.

Regarding the other person's personality, her middle-aged manager had previously mentioned to her that this person was the type to be arrogant and heartless.

In order to obtain the overbearing martial arts in her opponent's hands, she had no choice but to compromise once more. Naturally, she did not dare to show any displeasure.
