Chapter 918: Body Refinement First, Asking for a Beating

He had wanted a shortcut, but in the end he still had to absorb the energy slowly.

This absorption lasted for two full years, until even his physical body could no longer absorb a single shred of energy.

“Damn it all. Good thing I have this formation, or this breakthrough would be a nightmare.”

Feeling that his body had reached its absolute saturation point, Qin Xiao finally perceived a faint trace of an impending breakthrough.

A breakthrough was like waiting for a bus. No matter how early you reached the stop, the opportunity would come in its own time. If the bus did not come, who knew how long you would wait?

His ninth-rank Taiyi followers had waited who knew how many years. They could see the bus approaching, but it crawled along, sometimes stopping, never quite reaching their stop.

The First-Grade Origin Fruits he gave them were like strongmen pushing the bus to the stop. At last they could board—break through to the Great Luo Realm.

[The Breakthrough Origin Pill requires at least the Great Luo Realm. With the host’s current bodily strength, it could cause the body to burst. The System issues this solemn warning.]

Ignoring Qin Xiao’s inner complaints, the System continued its prompt.

“Can it really be like this? Then how am I supposed to break through? Just keep waiting?”
