The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 228
Ling Han charged towards the bottleneck with full force. Hu Niu also seemed to have received a shock; surprisingly, he was not raucous and started cultivating as well.
Both of them were both at a strange rate – Ling Han spent two days to reach the peak of the Element Gathering Tier, whereas Hu Niu reached the peak of the seventh layer of the Element Gathering Tier, not far from where Ling Han was.
"Rest!" Ling Han took out several medicinal pills and threw them into his mouth at once.
He did not need to understand the next level; as long as he had sufficient energy to support it, the doors of the Tier Gushing Spring would open.
"Rest!" Hu Niu's soft and sweet voice followed, and he began to charge towards the eighth layer of the Element Gathering Tier in the same manner.
Within Ling Han's body, a shocking change occurred.
A small rate increase was only a difference of one core origin over another. Even if he reached the tenth layer of the Element Gathering Tier, combining the nine great origin cores into one enormous origin core, it was still a change in the origin core.
However, from Element Gathering Tier to Gushing Spring Tier, it was a qualitative change — a completely new change.
Turning the original nucleus into an Origin Power spring, Origin Power radiating.
Passing this step, the strength of a martial artist would increase tenfold!
Strength was not the same as battle prowess, but it was the essence of battle prowess. Without the support of a powerful force, how could one form of battle prowess defeat all the others?
Ling Han had enough knowledge of the next level, so breaking through to the Gushing Spring Tier should have been easy, but the truth was not so.
… That's because he only has one nucleus of origin.
His experience was based on a breakthrough with nine origin nuclei in his previous life, but now turned into one. It completely changed him, and all of his experiences became useless. However, knowledge of the next level is still useful; only methods need adjustment.
His method was basically the same — turning the origin core into a spring; but, what was different was that when breaking through with the nine origin cores, one could use the other eight cores as a supporting force. Now, he could only use one, and his resources became a problem.
His personal strength could not be used, so he could only push the medicinal pill down his throat.
Ling Han waved his hand continuously while swallowing the medicinal pills, and medicinal strength began to take effect within his body, forming a massive force like a tsunami that could destroy mountains.
Waves of annihilated power rushed into Ling Han's body. This was because his level was enough, and so was his understanding of the next level. Heaven and earth resounded, continuously softening its origin core like water ripples.
The power of heaven and earth had already come into effect; furthermore, it was all up to him.
Turned into a spring!
Ling Han initiated the Five Elements Mix Chaos Lotus to absorb the spiritual qi in the surroundings, and on top of the power of the medicinal pill, he continued to attack the origin nucleus, attempting to liquidate it into the spring eye, the source of the power.
This move was extremely difficult, unlike the normal Tier Element Gathering with the other eight cores as a supporting force which made it much easier. Now, he could only rely on medicinal pills and spirit bases to absorb the power; it was truly too small.
It was his own decision to break through to the tenth core that gave him great power, so he naturally had to pay the appropriate price.
Shua, shua, shua, Ling Han continued to suppress the pill, even taking a Four Transformations Pill that could only be used in the Gushing Spring Tier to provide the amount of energy needed to turn a super-origin nucleus into a spring.
The core of a normal person turned into springs one by one, and the final nucleus transformed on the ninth layer of the Tier Gushing Spring. At that time, there will be eight Origin Power sources to provide power, and one that really only requires the level of understanding — power requirements is nothing important.
However, Ling Han's only origin core was larger than the nine origin cores of others combined, and not just a little, because the great origin core consisted of nine origin cores, which in turn consisted of five small nuclei, for a total of forty-five!
The energy needed was just like that vast ocean.
Eat up! Eat up! Eat up!
Lone Wolf's Blood, activate it! Unbreakable Scroll of Heaven, activate it!
His body quickly recovered, but at the same time, a steady stream of harsh medicinal effects constantly damaged him. This kind of pain was obviously unbearable for a normal person, but Ling Han did not even frown and just endure while gritting his teeth.
How could the path to the peak of martial arts be smooth?
If he couldn't even endure this bit of pain, then how could he talk about the destruction of being a god?
Moreover, the more difficult it was to break through, the stronger the strength gained after he succeeded.
This time, the Black Tower did not help, and only quietly floated up and down inside his dantian, soaring with a mysterious brilliance.
Ling Han, unhappy or sad, continued to attack.
The dripping water could pierce through stone — under his continuous efforts, the origin core finally began to liquidate.
With an explosion, the origin core dissolved completely, turning into a small spring eye with a burst of Origin Power gushing out.
He succeeded!
Ling Han, however, did not stop. The spring eye was only the beginning, and he needed to stabilize his cultivation; otherwise, this spring eye would soon dry up, turning into the origin nucleus again and dropping it back into the Element Gathering Tier.
At this point, there was no difference compared to a normal Tier Gushing Spring...expanding the spring eye to the limit, it could turn into a vast ocean of Origin Power, thus being known as a Spiritual Ocean Tier.
Others needed to convert their original nuclei one by one into spring eyes, and then connect the nine spring eyes into one, expanding them into an ocean. However, Ling Han only had one origin nucleus and could only form one spring eye, so how was his tier calculated?
Ling Han couldn't help but think to himself that others would probably always consider him a first-rate Gushing Spring Tier, right?
Whatever, it just needs power.
Spring eyes opened, continuing the expansion until Ling Han's spirit power was fully used.
Ginting Spring Tier!
Weng, the Black Tower is spinning slowly as if sending some sort of signal. On the body of the tower, boundless threads lit up, forming a simple character pattern that he could not read. However, it contained an indescribable miracle with great depth.
Ling Han was excited; had the Black Tower finally opened it, revealing all of its secrets?
To him, there was nothing more thirsty than him understanding the secrets of the Black Tower, as this arrogant slacker killed him in his previous life and kept him in an indescribable condition for ten millennia. It would be very strange if he did not feel anxious.
Xiu, Ling Han felt a slight seizure of his soul, finding himself inside a foreign space.
This place is very similar to farmland. There were chunks of mud on the ground, but this place had no plants, looked extremely infertile. The sky was very high, but there was no sun or clouds to see. It was somewhat similar to the sky of the mysterious realm.
Where'sisthis? How did he suddenly end up here?
Ling Han was amazed. He raised his hand to touch her face, which felt very real.
In other words, it wasn't just his spirit that came here!
How is that possible!
Ling Hang was a bit messed up. Could it be that he was directly teleported here by the Black Tower? The Black Tower has a teleportation function?
