How strong are the meridians?
The opening of a hundred meridians, is that enough?!
Although Wang Junze is reckless, he isn't mad. If he were completely lacking in confidence, he certainly wouldn't be rushing towards death!
Earlier, while at the Profound Moon Sword Sect, he refined a Four Symbols Origin Stone, familiarizing himself with this power. Moreover, having just devoured a Demon Core, though terrifying, it made Wang Junze even more clearly aware that this was not yet his limit.
Looking across the world, Wang Junze does not know exactly how many geniuses have opened a hundred meridians, but in the Northern Domain, he truly hasn't heard of anyone who has.
Even Luo Qingxuan, not to mention the other elders of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, cannot compare to Wang Junze in this respect.
When his cultivation was low, it didn't seem apparent, but as his strength continued to increase, the benefits of opening a hundred meridians truly began to manifest.
Like now, while anyone else would have already exploded, Wang Junze is still able to withstand it.
The power of five Four Symbols Origin Stones burst forth, transforming into a torrent flooding within his body, further stimulating the power of the Demon Core. Even someone as strong as Wang Junze had a layer of blood mist seeping through the skin, implying that his internal meridians had been pushed to their limit, and even some fine blood vessels and pores had burst.
This was an extremely dangerous signal.
If uncontrolled, the next thing to burst would be his meridians. At that time, there would be no need to fight; Wang Junze would be completely ruined.
"Ghost Infant, kill him!"
The snake demon's gaze fell on Wang Junze, a trace of hate in its eyes as it shouted sharply.
Of course, the urgency wasn't just due to a grudge over Wang Junze killing Hu Qianqian; more importantly, Wang Junze's insane actions already gave off a scent of danger.
In fact, there was no need for the snake demon's reminder. The Ghost Infant itself had already sensed the threat. Its mouth opened wide, sucking in fiercely, and its small body suddenly expanded dozens of times, transforming into a huge child. However, its body appeared unbalanced, with its body still small, yet its head inflated nearly a hundred times.
"Awooo!"
The cry in its mouth instantaneously became a furious roar, opening its bloodthirsty maw to swallow Wang Junze.
The enlarged Ghost Infant truly swallowed Wang Junze in one gulp, with countless demon qi gathering around, transforming into a torrent of raging resentment, further eroding into the body, as if the Ghost Infant was genuinely going to eat Wang Junze.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Junze naturally wouldn't dare let the Ghost Infant swallow him, but now, he was at a critical moment of breakthrough, leaving no room to dodge.
Yes, breakthrough!
From the moment Wang Junze swallowed the Demon Core, he had already decided in his mind to seize this opportunity to achieve a breakthrough to Heaven-Stepping!
This was his only hope of turning the tables; otherwise, no matter how much power the Demon Core contained, it would be wasted in repeated attacks, unable to kill the Ghost Infant, and the stalemate would remain unbroken.
So, when he crushed the Four Symbols Origin Stone, he chose not to let this momentum dissipate, but instead forcibly absorbed it into his body, urging the True Qi to flow continually, attempting to push through to the Heaven-Stepping Realm.
This was why his skin had many small wounds, seeping a layer of blood mist.
Once the bowstring is drawn, there's no turning back!
Wang Junze's nature was already extremely decisive; in such a circumstance, he wouldn't let any external changes sway his determination.
When the Ghost Infant's body swelled, swallowing in one go, Wang Junze did not dodge; instead, he allowed it to engulf him. Instinctively employing the Profound Ice Body Tempering Technique, he condensed a layer of Profound Ice on his body, slightly resisting the Ghost Infant's attack.
"Crack!"
The Profound Ice that covered the body could only withstand for a few breaths before shattering.
It's not that the Profound Ice Body Tempering Technique wasn't strong, but that Wang Junze's Realm was too low.
However, this brief duration of a few breaths was enough for Wang Junze.
Boom!
In an instant, his body's meridians seemed to forcibly expand again, the Divine Soul undergoing a transformation under the ceaseless impact of these forces!
Breakthrough!
Under the pressure of life and death, Wang Junze successively devoured the Demon Core, the power of the Four Symbols Origin Stone, driving himself into a corner, and under this pressure, he once more broke through his shackles, breaking into the Heaven-Stepping Realm with a most frantic method!
The meridians which had reached their limit suddenly widened tenfold at the moment of breakthrough, crazily absorbing all surrounding power, feeling akin to a small stream abruptly becoming a dried riverbed, taking in the vast floodwaters and converting them into part of his own strength.
Only... this was still not enough!
Wang Junze could feel that the Ghost Infant's power had already invaded with the tide, and though he had just broken into Heaven-Stepping, it was still difficult to resist this terrifying force.
After all, to the Ghost Infant, this was equivalent to its full-powered strike.
Purely based on strength, even breaking into Heaven-Stepping, Wang Junze still couldn't contend against the Transformed Great Demon.
This was still a deadlock!
Suddenly opening his eyes, Wang Junze didn't hesitate for a moment, flicked his palm to instantly bring out the Moon Fruit, and again swallowed it whole.
Luo Qingxuan had once said that the Moon Fruit holds the effect of enlightenment!
To others, it can be used to help break through bottlenecks, impacting Heaven-Stepping or even the Void Realm.
Now Wang Junze had broken through to Heaven-Stepping, using the Moon Fruit seemed wasteful.
But in Wang Junze's eyes, breaking through to Heaven-Stepping was never difficult; using it for realm breakthroughs was the waste!
In contrast... breaking through the Sword Dao is more challenging!
To defeat or even kill a Transformed Great Demon like the Ghost Infant, mere realm breakthroughs are insufficient; a further breakthrough in the Sword Dao is required, combining the two to perhaps create a miracle.
As the scent of the Moon Fruit emerged, even wrapped in layers of demon qi, it could still be faintly felt outside.
Whether it's Jing Lei and the disciples of the Four Symbols Sect, or Luo Qingxuan, at this moment they all seemed somewhat numb.
Demon Core, Four Symbols Origin Stone, Moon Fruit!
Any one of these is an extremely rare treasure, but to Wang Junze, he consumed them all impulsively. Even knowing Wang Junze was breaking through to Heaven-Stepping, this method made people involuntarily feel a sense of reckless waste.
Of course, Wang Junze didn't care what others thought.
The instant he swallowed the Moon Fruit, Wang Junze felt as if there was a buzz in his mind, increasing the speed of his thoughts countless times, while everything around seemed to slow down.
Every flow of strength within seemed to become distinctly clear.
