Chapter 1003: Chapter 431: Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator; Explosive Surge in Power

It’s like a flood amassing ten thousand tons of force, facing nothing but a seemingly tough thin paper.

"Break!"

Xu Ping silently chanted in his heart, channeling vast Mana, concentrating it on a point, and crashed fiercely.

Crack...

A faint sound of something shattering came from an unknown space.

The barrier vanished, the path ahead was clear.

Boom!

The aura around Xu Ping surged like a dragon freed from all restraints, roaring and soaring.

Climbing step by step.

The mist in the secret chamber was instantly blown away by the sudden, powerful aura, creating a temporary vacuum zone.

Within Xu Ping’s Dantian, the cyan Nascent Soul suddenly emitted ten thousand rays of light.

Its size visibly expanded by a circle, becoming more solid and majestic, the azure glow surrounding it transformed into a deeper, stronger cyan divine light.

The overall amount and purity of Mana, instantly ascended a gigantic step.

His Sea of Consciousness frantically expanded, the range and sharpness of perception had enhanced by no less than several folds!

A previously unfelt power sensation filled his entire being.

Unknown how long had passed, the fierce aura gradually calmed and receded.

Xu Ping slowly opened his eyes.

Divine light shone in his eyes as if containing two deep starlit skies, during open and close, exuding majesty.

He felt the surging power inside him like the mighty rivers, his mouth initially curled up slightly, finally turning into an uncontrollable laugh, shaking the entire secret chamber.

"Hahaha... Late-stage Nascent Soul, achieved!"

Over five hundred years old, reaching Late-stage Nascent Soul!

Such speed, looking throughout the Wind Origin Realm, only those peerless geniuses that ultimately step into the Divinity Transformation Realm could barely surpass.

However, in terms of longevity, he had already surpassed the Divinity Transformation Cultivators.

Xu Ping eagerly opened the data panel:

[Lifespan: 543 / 4951 years]

[Realm: Late-stage Nascent Soul: 1 / 100]

...

"A lifespan increase of three hundred years, as expected."

Xu Ping glanced past the lifespan section, his mood wasn’t much affected.

Extended longevity brings not only more cultivation time, but also confidence in facing crises, planning long-term.

However, when his mind touched upon the other changes brought by the breakthrough, the previously calm heart lake immediately stirred immense waves.

"Divine Sense..."

Xu Ping closed his eyes again, focusing inward.

Instantly, an enormous and vast Divine Thought Power, centered on him, silently spread outwards.

Its coverage area, compared to Mid-Stage Nascent Soul, had expanded by no less than several folds!

More frightening was the qualitative change in Divine Sense.

The previous Divine Sense was like a stream, clear but limited.

At this moment, Divine Sense was like a vast ocean, deep and boundless, in a mere thought, everything became perceptible, even the slight movements of Primordial Qi.

"With my current Divine Sense intensity, I’m afraid... I’ve already touched the threshold of the Divinity Transformation Stage!" Xu Ping’s mouth couldn’t help but form a smile.

The gap from Nascent Soul Perfection to the Divinity Transformation threshold is far greater than cultivating from Early-Stage Nascent Soul to Late-Stage, it’s akin to an impassable gorge.

It’s a height countless Nascent Soul Cultivators dare not even imagine, enough to shock even true Divinity Transformation Cultivators.

"Using this level of Divine Sense to drive the Soul-Breaking Needle, Nascent Soul Perfect Cultivators might be severely wounded in one strike, left at my mercy!"

"However..."

Xu Ping’s glance slightly tightened, "If facing true Divinity Transformation Cultivators, relying solely on this needle may pose no threat." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"The Divine Soul of Divinity Transformation is incredibly stable unless my Divine Sense truly advances to Divinity Transformation Level, or... the Soul-Breaking Needle itself further evolves, having a qualitative change!"

Either path is no easy task.

Another qualitative change in Divine Sense requires great opportunity and effort.

And elevating the Soul-Breaking Needle’s rank demands exceptionally precious materials, requiring long-term planning and scheming.

Immediately, Xu Ping sank his mind into the depths of the Dantian.

At this moment, the cyan Nascent Soul was solid as if carved from blue jade, its features clear, eyebrows and eyes identical to Xu Ping’s, even carrying a faint trace of majesty.

The Nascent Soul’s entire body flowed with a warm yet boundless cyan divine light, this light wasn’t static but rhythmically pulsating like life.

Each contraction and expansion prompted the vast Mana in the Dantian to rise and fall like a tide.

"Mana surge, Nascent Soul transformation..."

Xu Ping slowly clenched his fists, without deliberately activating Cultivation Technique, he could sense the mighty power inside him like the rushing Milky Way and turbulent seas.

Pure, vast, seemingly inexhaustible.

This was an unprecedented feeling of power, as if with every move, he could stir the winds and clouds.

"In terms of Mana’s depth and purity alone, I might only be slightly inferior to someone like Yun Wei Feng, a Nascent Soul Perfect Cultivator."

"Once my cultivation advances further, surpassing him is a certainty!"

"With all my techniques and trump cards revealed, with my current capabilities... there’s even great hope to kill Yun Wei Feng who wields a bloodline treasure."

Xu Ping silently estimated his combat power, instantly arrived at a conclusion.

Just after breakthrough into Late-stage Nascent Soul, possessing such Divine Techniques, throughout the vast human Cultivation Realm, such is undoubtedly rare.

In this Wind Origin Realm, Xu Ping is indeed the undisputed number one in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Suppressing the surging turmoil in his heart resulting from the power surge, Xu Ping knew his recent breakthrough needs stabilization.

He resumed his cross-legged position, activating the Ten Thousand Woods Evergreen Scripture, guiding the rushing Mana within to orderly refine the newly formed Nascent Soul so that it perfectly aligns with the surged Divine Sense and physical body.
