.....
A few hours later, Xiao Ming had an unsightly pale expression as he gritted his teeth with his eyes shut. His will had always been the catalyst for his strong perseverance till now. After unsealing the forty fifth meridian seal, the rest had voluntarily gotten more tougher as they went. The pressure bearing down on Xiao Ming after each unseal had always exponentially increased. From his colorless face, one should realize he was barely surviving this for now.
"72 heavenly meridians!"
"75 heavenly meridians"
"80 heavenly meridians"
"85 heavenly meridians"
"91 heavenly meridians"
"98 heavenly meridians"
"...Pfft!"
As soon as Xiao Ming unsealed the ninety eighth meridian, he threw up a mouthful of blood he had been containing. He hurriedly swiped his mouth clean from the bloodstain and returened solemn. His momentum surged forcefully as he approached the ninety ninth meridian seal.
In a few minutes, Xiao Ming had a few changes within his body. A slow buzz was ringing from the ninety ninth meridian seal. Xiao Ming had faintly succeeded in unleashing a crack after a barrage of attacks. Seeing this crack, Xiao Ming had more faith in himself and gathered his efforts at this point to unleash a denser attack. Master Huan on the other hand couldn't help admiring this youth's perseverance, willpower and cunning. Looking at this mortal with true eyes, one could tell he had the heart for a peerless expert later in life.
SWEESH!
BANG!
BOOM!
CRASH!
Without a doubt, the ninety ninth seal shattered in a few breaths' time. It's indiscrete pieces lingered for a while before being absorbed as energy by Xiao Ming.
"...Pfft!"
It was followed by spewing up of blood. This occurred due to the accumulation of injuries while attacking the other seals continuously. Of course, the meridian seals were naturally born with him and could fairly pass as an organ. So, the more injuries caused by the cracking, the weaker the system. This had been while a lot of experts would naturally be unwilling to unseal more than thirty six meridians in Wu Shui Empire.
Once a person condensed his Spirit Qi Sea, unless through the long lost divine means, it was impossible to unlock an extra meridian. This was even stricter to persons in cultivation above the Xiantian stage. The definite possibility was at least a guaranteed ninety nine percent chance of death. Simply stated, unlocking an extra meridian with a Spirit Qi Sea condensed was equivalent to suicide.
Xiao Ming wiped off his bloodstain with a cruel and vicious look. He gasped slightly and restored himself to a half-well state. His gaze blazed with courage and a resolve to shatter the hundredth meridian seal as well.
BANG!
"...Pfft!"
Immediately, the billow of Spirit Qi struck out at the hundredth level. A rebound ten times the entire previous ones combined was granted through this. Xiao Ming was unaware and was taken off-guard, triggering his injuries once again. He spat out a mouthful of blood again and his face drained from its lively blush. Within his blood, you could make traces of some of his innards spewed alongside.
"That was pretty rash" Xiao Ming smiled bitterly to himself. He hurriedly absorbed Spirit Qi from the Dao Lotus seeds to heal the injuries. Master Huan on the other hand still had an admiring look as he smiled from ear to ear with his thoughts unknown. He was proud at the sight of Xiao Ming shattering the ninety ninth seal. His belly was filled with 'sword' butterflies as he basked in pride. His master wasn't ordinary, he possessed a Godly Meridian and it was a proud quality in the entire universe, driving countless powerhouses numb. But his smile instantly dispersed into a cold frown.
"What's that kid doing?... He's already a monster enough to unlock ninety nine seals of the Godly Meridians. It's far impressive even in Sheng Yun. He's too conceited to think his futile efforts would truly grant him the Perfected Mystic Godly Meridians. It would naturally be a different scenario if he actually possessed the Ancient Chaotic Body, at least a ten percent chance might be guaranteed. If he could really succeed in this case, I'll naturally have no shackles in my heart with him being my master.... But isn't that a joke haha!" Master Huan snickered internally with a cackle. It was just as he said. Presently, Xiao Ming was trying his efforts to pass through a Behemoth, but he was fully aware this was futile. However his will would continue to penetrate until there was a sliver of hope.
