Li Chou came to the lakeside, the lake water was as clear as a mirror, surrounded by a thin layer of mist, vaguely revealing a bit of mystery. He cupped the lake with both hands, and the cool water slid down over his face, instantly taking away the exhaustion from the battle. Having just experienced several battles, his heart surged within him, and his realm seemed to be vaguely loosening, signaling the opportunity for an imminent breakthrough.
In such tranquility, Li Chuan felt his surroundings, his thoughts gradually settling down. He went into the water and felt the temperature of the lake, gently paddling his arms in an effort to catch a few swimming fish. With deft maneuvers, he soon caught a few fish that shimmered with silver light.
"It's just right to pair it with the meat of the Fae Beasts we just killed to make a hearty dinner."Li Chuan thought, and a hint of anticipation couldn't help but rise in his heart. After fishing the fish onto the shore, he began to prepare the fire, intending to cook the Fae Beast meat and the fish together, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
While waiting for the flames to ignite, Li Chuan's mind was also recalling the battle experience he had just had. He realized that his growth in battle was not only the increase in strength, but also his understanding of combat techniques and coping strategies. If he could succeed in making a breakthrough at this point, the rest of his journey would be smoother.
As the flames rose, Li Chou enjoyed the upcoming delicacies, and his heart couldn't help but surge with anticipation for the future.
As the flames rose, Li Chou placed the meat of the foreign beasts and the newly caught fish on the fire and roasted them, filling the air with a tantalizing aroma. He sat quietly to the side, intently watching the flames pulsate as he contemplated his next cultivation plan. "If I can successfully break through to Dark Breath Realm Grand Completion, it will greatly increase my strength."He secretly pondered. Although the opportunity for a breakthrough had been revealed, it still required timing and chance. Li Chou decided to cultivate by the lake and wait in silence.
Li Chou stepped into the lake water, and the cool current instantly washed away his body's fatigue and dirt from the battle. The surface of the water rippled slightly, and his silhouette loomed in the water, appearing even more spiritual. The lake water was like a mirror, reflecting his young and clear face, his deep eyes were firm and calm.
The sunlight sprinkled on the lake through the treetops, the golden light mirrored the dark water, making his face appear even brighter, as if it was telling of his inner desires and pursuits. After a few battles, Li Chou's aura became more composed, and a hint of confidence and calmness flowed from his expression.
Under the reflection of the lake, Li Chou felt the return of his inner peace and strength. He raised his hand and gently brushed the surface of the water, as if he was conversing with his mind. The thrill and intense emotions from the battle just now were washed away by the current at this moment, leaving him with tranquility and contemplation.
"I must work harder to break through to the Yin Underworld Realm."Li Chuan murmured in his heart, his determination even stronger. He knew that only by continuously improving his strength could he gain a foothold in this secret realm full of dangers and find a way out.
After cleaning himself, Li Chou felt refreshed and full of strength. He stepped out of the lake, intending to continue cultivating to enhance his cultivation.
By the lake, Li Chou closed his eyes and meditated on his cultivation. He could feel the surrounding Dark Aura slowly flowing into his body, flowing smoothly along his meridians. Complementing the medicinal effects of the Dark Breath Pill, the aura in his body became more and more abundant, and it seemed that every inch of his skin was saturated with the power of darkness.
"Dark Breath Realm Grand Achievement."Li Chou recited silently in his heart, a burst of joy in his heart, however, he was not satisfied. His goal was not only to break through, but also to reach perfection. Li Chou secretly pondered, "It is rumored that once you reach the Perfect Dark Breath Realm, you can smoothly cross over to the mid Yin Underworld Realm. Many geniuses get stuck at this step, unable to make a breakthrough, and even stop at the Grand Completion for the rest of their lives."
He felt the surging dark aura in his body and had a vague intuition that if he could break through the Perfect Dark Breath Realm, he might be able to rush into the middle stage of the Yin Underworld Realm in one go. However, he also understood that cultivation could not be rushed, and that the pursuit of the Perfect Realm required more than just an abundance of aura, but also an opportunity, a sense of resonance with heaven and earth.
"I can't be in a hurry, I must work steadily and wait for that opportunity to come."
It was rumored that cultivators who had reached the Perfection Realm were able to operate their aura in an incomparably rounded manner, with their spiritual energy flowing like clouds and water, leaving no traces at all. However, the vast majority of geniuses could break through to the Great Perfection, but it was very difficult to reach perfection, which was not just about the time and effort of cultivation, but more about an opportunity, a resonance of soul and power.
"To be perfect, one must have a solid foundation."Li Chou clearly recognized in his heart that in order to achieve this, he needed to repeatedly polish every inch of his own strength. He understood that perfection was not just a realm enhancement, but also an absolute control and understanding of power.
In such contemplation, Li Chou began to deepen his sense of Darkness Aura, trying to make it run more smoothly within himself. Every breath was a refinement and sublimation of the aura. He endeavored to make the trajectory of the aura reach a perfect harmony, where the mind and spirit were united to reach the supreme realm of cultivation.
"Perhaps, this opportunity is just around the corner."Li Chuan suddenly thought of something and his heart shook. He decided to utilize the upcoming breakthrough to search for that opportunity. He slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the lake, his heart filled with determination and anticipation. As long as he maintained this focus and determination, he would one day find his own perfect realm.
Li Chuan entered the woods, and the darkness around him intensified. Suddenly, he heard a low growl that broke the silence of the woods. He held his breath and quickly concealed his figure, sneaking towards the source of the sound.
After passing through the dense bushes, Li Chou saw a huge beast lazily lying on the ground, emitting a cold aura around it. This beast was called the "Shadow Blade Beast", its entire body was covered with smooth black fur, its limbs were long and powerful, its facial contour was like a blade, and its eyes emitted a cold light, as if it could cut through the air at any time.
The Shadowblade Beast was a darkness-oriented beast known for its stealth and swiftness, able to move easily in the darkness and attack with almost no sound. Each of its attacks was like a blade cutting through, deadly and swift.
Li Chou did not rush to strike, but carefully observed the movements and habits of the Shadow Blade Beast, looking for its weaknesses. He knew that caution and patience were the keys to success when facing such a powerful opponent.
After a while, the Shadowblade Beast seemed to be puzzled by the movement around it and lifted its head to look around. Li Chuan took the opportunity to adjust his breathing and utilize his Phantom Breath, ready to wait for an opportunity.
Just at the moment when the Shadowblade Beast let down its guard again, Li Chou leapt out violently, condensing Darkness Aura in both hands and transforming it into a sharp Shadow Dagger, pouncing straight at the Shadowblade Beast's flank.
"Come on, the challenge begins!"Li Chou recited in his heart, his strength and speed converging at this moment, deciding to win in one fell swoop.
With Li Chou's Shadow Dagger striking straight at the Shadowblade Beast's flank, in an instant, a fierce battle erupted.
Sensing the threat, the Shadow Blade Beast reacted quickly and violently rolled over, its sharp claws slicing through the air as it came at Li Chou. Li Chou's body lightly sidestepped and dodged, his dagger flickered with shimmering light in the darkness as he once again attacked the Shadowblade Beast. Each of his strikes contained a dark aura, striving for a sure hit.
In the process, the Shadowblade Beast displayed its agility and ferocity, sometimes hiding in the shadows, sometimes making quick surprise attacks. Li Chou was fully focused, utilizing his nimble stance and combat skills after he had attained great success in the Dark Breath Realm, constantly looking for opportunities.
After a fierce battle, Li Chou realized that although the Shadow Blade Beast's attacks were swift, there were short gaps. He decided to take advantage of the opportunity to utilize his Spectral Breath combat technique, activating a more powerful Darkness Aura and launching a wave of continuous attacks at the Shadowblade Beast.
"Phantom Darkness Slash!"Li Chou shouted in a low voice as the Darkness Aura condensed and took shape in his hands, instantly releasing a powerful force as if a crack of darkness ripped through the air, striking the Shadowblade Beast directly in its vitals.
Sensing the intense threat, the Shadowblade Beast let out a deafening roar as it attempted to dodge this fatal blow. However, the speed of Li Chuan's attack was extremely fast, and the dagger flashed with a blinding light in the darkness, eventually slashing accurately acro
