Boom!

Qin Tian suddenly opened his eyes, with half of his pupils flashing madly with dark purple lightning, and the other half swirling with black airflow—the spiritual energy of lightning and darkness roared like two powerful dragons in his meridians.

"Break!"

Qin Tian whispered, actively guiding the energy within him, which was compressed to the extreme, to charge at the invisible barrier between Tier Four and Tier Five.

Boom!

The dark purple lightning erupted first, whipping through his body like thousands of electric whips.

His meridians were torn by the lightning but instantly repaired by spiritual qi. The intense pain and numbness made the thunder spiritual energy's dominating trait unleash to the fullest, creating fine cracks in the bottleneck barrier.

Following closely was the pitch-black dark spiritual energy, which poured into the cracks torn open by the lightning like the finest swarm of ants, gradually eroding the foundation of the barrier. The dark energy wove through the cells, restructuring the tissues damaged by the lightning, producing even greater resilience in destruction.

As the two spiritual energies jointly assaulted the barrier, Qin Tian's physical body also erupted suddenly.

"Roar—"

A low growl like an ancient primordial beast oozed from his throat, as crimson-gold qi and blood power spewed from his pores like lava, forming a thick qi and blood armor on his body surface.

This bold and powerful qi and blood power clashed into the torrent of lightning and dark spiritual energy, temporarily fusing these two distinct energies into a column of interwoven purple-black light, and once again fiercely struck the barrier!

Crack!

A crisp shattering sound echoed within Qin Tian's body. The Tier Five barrier, troubling countless spiritualists, finally shattered completely under the triple impact of the lightning, dark dual elemental spiritual energy, and unmatched qi and blood power!

"Buzz—"

At the moment of breakthrough, a massive amount of Heaven and Earth spiritual qi poured into Qin Tian's body through the spiritual spring at several times the speed of previous absorption.

The Golden Level Technique "Nine Nether Thunder Brilliance Technique" operated at high speed, with thunder spiritual energy rushing through the newly opened meridians, each cycle sparking like a small thunderstorm within; dark spiritual energy settled in the dantian, transforming into a rotating black vortex, emitting an absorbing pull; and qi and blood force gushed like floodwaters, washing through his limbs and bones, perfecting his muscle lines, while a faint layer of golden patterns emerged on his bones, exuding an indestructible aura.

The water in the spiritual spring was thrust aside by an invisible force, forming a ten-meter-diameter vacuum.

Qin Tian hovered in mid-air, entwined in lightning and shadow, crimson-gold qi and blood surging skyward, dyeing the micro-light seeping through the rock strata cracks into a golden-purple hue.

He could clearly feel his spiritual ability level climbing rapidly—Tier Five One Star, Two Stars, Three Stars... until it slowly stopped at Four Stars.

As long as the spiritual qi was abundant, with his current foundation, continuous breakthroughs had no shackles.

But this was not the end; the energy within his body continued to surge, only the frenzy brought by the breakthrough gradually subsided, beginning to convert towards a more refined direction.

After a long time, Qin Tian slowly restrained his aura.

The lightning and shadows on his body surface quietly disappeared, the qi and blood armor retracted into golden streams back into his body, leaving only those deep eyes, with the left eye harboring thunder, and the right eye enveloped in shadow, a trace of crimson-gold qi and blood afterglow remained deep within the pupils.

He descended to the bottom of the spiritual spring, his feet on the moist rock, feeling his whole body surging with explosive power.

He casually swung a fist, and the wind from his punch carried the rending sharpness of thunder and shadow, creating a brief vacuum in the air ahead.

"Tier Five Four Stars..." Qin Tian felt the unprecedented power within him, a smile teased at his lips.

The lightning and dark spiritual energies were more condensed, his physical strength comparable to a Tier Six spiritualist's defensive shield, and the surging qi and blood power gave him the upper hand in close combat among his peers.

However, the enhancement did not stop there.

Silver light flashed, and Qin Tian instantaneously teleported back to the depths of the Tier Seven Mining Beast's lair.

[Metal Sensation] spread out like radar, with intense metal waves almost tangible from beyond the rock wall.

"It's time to try this." Qin Tian spread his arms, and an odd power exclusive to [Gold Devouring Enhancement] spread from him.

Buzz—

The surrounding rock walls suddenly trembled violently, countless web-like cracks spreading, and the hard rock fractured layer by layer like an egg shell peeled away by an invisible giant force.

The next second, an astonishing sight unfolded—

Millions of fine metal light particles stripped from the depths of the ores, not mere mineral sands, but particles condensed from the most essential essence of the ores, flashing with dark gold, silver-white, and dim blue lights, swarming towards Qin Tian like stardust swept up by a wild wind.

"Swish Swish—"

As the metal essence particles collided into his body, Qin Tian's skin emitted a flowing metallic sheen.

The particles penetrated through the pores, closely combining with muscle fibers, causing his already tough muscles to expand slightly, becoming denser from the essence's tempering, each fiber strand like it was wrapped in tempered steel.

"Crackling" sounded from deep within the bones; the essence particles coated the bone walls in a layer of dark gold film, grinding his bones tougher than dark iron, more tenacious than liquid silver; even the surfaces of his internal organs were coated in a semi-transparent metal film, like donning an invisible inner armor.

In just a few breaths, he was molded in a flowing golden body, the metallic sheen on his skin surface sometimes transformed into lightning patterns, occasionally revealed dark flowing light, with the thunder and dark spiritual energies becoming increasingly active under the catalysis of metal essence, mixed with the physical power into an indescribable fierce aura.

This wasn't merely "coating with a gold film," but a metallic transformation completed at a cellular level—muscles could withstand energy shocks, bones withstand tens of thousands of tons of force, even blood flow carried the metallic resonance, like a steel Arhat awakening from the mine's depths, having both the unconquerable essence of temple gold and the destructive power of thunder and shadow.

Qin Tian slowly clenched his fist, the joints colliding with a dull metal clash, with fist winds sweeping over causing ripples in the air.

He could vividly sense the terrifying speed at which his physical strength soared, this enhancement was more direct and overbearing compared to merely absorbing the spiritual spring's spiritual qi.

Time quietly passed amidst the rustling flow of metal particles, with Qin Tian immersed in the process of physical transformation, long forgetting time.

Until a moment, a needle-pricking pain suddenly spread through his limbs and body, as if countless metal threads within were stretched to the utmost, on the brink of snapping—this was his body issuing an extreme warning.

He abruptly restrained his aura, cutting off the suction abruptly.

The metal particles suspended in mid-air lost their draw, falling back into the rock crevices like shooting stars, echoing with crisp sounds.

Qin Tian slowly landed, his feet standing on shattered rock.

He looked down at his palm, the metallic sheen on his skin surface had receded, returning to normal, yet when his finger brushed across the palm, he could distinctly feel the dense texture under the skin like refined steel.

Casually clenching his fist, the instant his muscles bulged, he could even hear the deep hum of bone friction, like a miniature furnace operating within.

"This power..." Qin Tian murmured softly, gathering the metal particles on the ground into a half-human-height block of dark iron essence and delivering a punch.

Without earth-shattering noise, the instant his fist contacted the unyieldingly tough metal, it shattered like a crisp biscuit, with powder sprinkling down.

His fist bore not a trace of white marks, nor tainted by any fragments.

"Power has multiplied, and defense has doubled." Qin Tian felt the surging qi and blood within, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, even without relying on spiritual energy, just by physical strength alone, he could challenge the pinnacle of Tier Five spiritualists—should he employ the power of thunder and dark dual elements, even an ordinary Tier Six spiritualist might avoid confrontation.

Now, he finally possessed the strength to challenge or even defeat a Tier Six powerhouse.
