Chapter 1788 Forced Breakthrough, A Laughable Chapter!
Within the peaceful immortal city...
Many of the younger generation of cultivators in the Cheng Clan were already stunned by this sudden celestial phenomenon.
The endless crimson that enveloped the sky, the oppressive aura that seemed to emanate from the depths of the soul, caused everyone's heart to skip a beat.
The scene inside the city suddenly became chaotic:
Some looked terrified, while those with lower cultivation levels even felt their blood and qi churning and were unable to control themselves.
Some, filled with awe, gazed at the vast sea of blood and deeply felt the insurmountable gap between themselves and their ancestor.
however,
In the clan school, those youngsters, mostly fearless and naive, were unaware of the danger and solemnity inherent in such a powerful force...
Instead of fear, the children's faces were filled with irrepressible excitement and curiosity.
They excitedly called to their friends, pointing at the sky and shouting:
Look!
The sky changed color! It turned into a red sea!
"Come quick! It's so beautiful! So magnificent!"
"···"
at this time···
The blood-red world high in the sky is undergoing another dramatic change!
The endless sea of blood that had been spreading out began to surge back and collapse wildly toward the center!
It was as if an invisible black hole was frantically devouring all the blood and light.
Endless crimson energy, like rivers flowing into the sea, converged towards the center, making the light at that point grow ever more brilliant and dazzling.
It seemed as if a blood-red sun was being conceived!
The terrifying energy fluctuations that had previously swept out also contracted and compressed inward like a tide.
It gives people a sense of extreme oppression, like the deathly stillness before a storm.
A sudden change in celestial phenomena...
Instantly, it captivated the attention and minds of all the cultivators in Ping'an City.
Whether it was fear, awe, or excitement?
At this moment, everyone was stunned by this even more vast and bizarre scene, and they all looked up at it without blinking, afraid of missing any detail.
After a while,
Once the terrifying suction subsided slightly...
The cultivators in the city seemed to wake up from a dream and then burst into a heated discussion.
"This... how many times has this happened already?"
"Last time our ancestor went into seclusion, the strange phenomena in the endless void of the planets terrified me. I thought our entire Peace City was going to be destroyed by the aftershocks!"
"Hmph, that's because you're too timid!"
What kind of person is our ancestor? How could he not be careful when breaking through in the core area of the clan?
"They must have complete control!"
"That being said, such strange phenomena are truly terrifying."
However, if this happened to other immortal clans, the entire clan would probably be celebrating and preparing for a grand festival!
"That's true..."
It seems we should also make some preparations in advance?
"Holding a celebration is great!"
Perhaps if the ancestors are pleased, I might receive one of their blessings!
"With your meager cultivation level?"
Forget it, stop dreaming!
"..."
Amidst the murmurs and discussions within the peaceful Immortal City, a mixture of worry and anticipation abounded...
In the void!
As the endless crimson ocean converged, the central point had condensed into an extremely dazzling and solid crimson light spot, its shape subtly shifting towards an ellipse.
It was as if a "seed of the Dao" containing the supreme mysteries of the laws was about to take full shape.
A series of subtle yet powerful tremors emanated from the void, touching the hearts of everyone present.
The crimson light grew even more dazzling, its brilliance so intense that it was impossible to look directly at it.
Like a truly crimson sun hanging in the sky, it exudes an indescribable sense of majesty and power.
suddenly!
The spot of light, as red as the blazing sun, suddenly jolted!
A terrifying wave, far exceeding any previous one, swept out like a destructive tide!
An unprecedented sense of oppression descended from the sky, rolling in like a real mountain, threatening to crush the entire Heian City into dust!
however,
The moment this terrifying pressure touched the cultivators within the city...
The soul seeds deep within their sea of consciousness flickered almost imperceptibly.
A moment later,
That originally violent and destructive power became extremely gentle in an instant.
Like a spring breeze or a gentle rain, it lightly brushed over the bodies of each cultivator without causing them the slightest harm.
This incredible scene shocked everyone, and they felt even greater awe for the ancestor's cultivation.
Just as everyone's hearts were surging with excitement,
A clear, cold shout seemed to come from the heavens above.
It seemed to echo in everyone's heart,
The sound echoed clearly throughout the secret realm:
"Congeal!"
This sound is like the imperial decree of the Great Dao, containing an unquestionable and supreme majesty.
High in the sky, at the center of that crimson phantom world...
The "seed of law," vibrating incessantly, its oval shape becoming increasingly clear, and its crimson red color resembling blood, seemed poised to mature.
With that clear shout, everything suddenly stopped!
however,
The anticipated perfect completion did not occur.
Immediately afterwards——
Click! !
A crisp, heart-stopping cracking sound echoed throughout the heavens and earth!
Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, clear cracks spread rapidly across the surface of the blood-red seed like a spider web!
In less than one ten-thousandth of a second...
boom!
The crimson seed shattered completely, turning into countless tiny crimson specks of light that scattered and drifted away.
Immediately afterwards, the endless, blood-red ocean that covered the sky, like a burst bubble or a receding tide, silently and rapidly dissipated.
In the blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace.
The sky returned to its original color, as if the apocalyptic scene had never existed.
silence!
A deathly silence enveloped the peaceful immortal city!
The joy and anticipation on the faces of the younger generation of the Cheng family, who were discussing the celebration just a moment ago, instantly froze.
Then came bewilderment and confusion, which eventually turned into deep anxiety.
Everyone looked at each other and frowned.
"Ancestor...did he fail to break through?"
"Judging from this situation... it should be..."
"Well... not necessarily!"
The ancestor's realm is unfathomable; how could we presume to fathom it?
Perhaps it's another form of success?
That makes sense!
The ancestor possesses great supernatural powers; perhaps he did it intentionally!
"Yes, that's possible, but let's not jump to conclusions too soon."
Even so, the sense of loss and unease that permeated the air was difficult to dispel.
Meanwhile, in a small courtyard deep within Ping'an City.
Murong Wanwan stood quietly outside the meditation room, watching the sky quickly clear and the crimson spectacle completely dissipate...
The worry in her beautiful, clear eyes had not lessened; on the contrary, it had become so intense that it was almost overflowing.
As the person who had accompanied Cheng Buzheng on his path the longest, she could more clearly feel the meaning contained in that shattering sound just now.
"Failed……"
She sighed softly to herself, a heart-wrenching pain spreading through her.
"I hope my husband's foundation remains unimpeded, and that he will not suffer any backlash because of this..."
At this moment, she wished she could rush into the quiet room immediately to see Cheng Buzheng's condition with her own eyes.
But reason told her that she absolutely could not do that.
At the critical juncture of a breakthrough, especially in the crucial moment after a failed attempt, a cultivator's internal energy becomes disordered and their primordial spirit becomes fragile.
Any external disturbance could make things worse.
The higher one's cultivation level, the more pronounced this becomes!
therefore,
Murong Wanwan could only forcefully suppress the unease and anxiety churning within her, her slender fingers unconsciously clenching as she quietly stood guard outside the quiet room.
All my worries and prayers were buried deep in my heart.
However, her worried gaze never left the tightly closed door of the quiet room.
Quiet room...
The spiritual energy was still present, but it had added a touch of desolation and heaviness.
On the cloud bed, Cheng Buzheng's originally rosy face was now as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.
He slowly raised his hand, a faint light flashing between his fingers, and brushed it across his lips, quietly wiping away the dark golden blood that had overflowed from the violent backlash caused by the failed breakthrough.
The movements appeared calm...
But his deep eyes were filled with an unyielding bitterness and self-mockery.
"really……"
A whisper echoed in the silent chamber, carrying a sense of helplessness and relief after knowing the ending.
"Forced breakthroughs, without a solid foundation and profound understanding of the Dao, are ultimately just illusions."
There is absolutely no chance of success.
Not bad.
The crimson world that just manifested above Heian City, covering the entire sky, those crimson specks of light that condensed like the blazing sun and seemed to be nurturing seeds of supreme laws...
To outsiders, it was undoubtedly true that Cheng Buzheng's Blood Law had reached perfection.
The signs indicate that we are only one step away from the legendary third realm.
It was magnificent and awe-inspiring.
But in reality, only Cheng Buzheng himself knew the true nature of what lay beneath that magnificent phenomenon...
What deadly superficiality and chaos lies hidden within.
From the moment he decided to take this risky move, drawing upon all the essence of his blood laws in an attempt to forcibly condense and ascend—
That is, the moment when the Blood Law rune within him, representing the pinnacle of his current realm, disintegrated into endless, profound, blood-red particles under the impetus of his will—
A strong feeling of "powerlessness" washed over him like ice water, instantly permeating his very being.
The feeling was exceptionally clear and terrible.
It's like a skilled coachman trying to drive a finely constructed carriage, but the several magnificent horses pulling the carriage are all neighing and straining in completely different directions.
The driver had the reins, but he couldn't muster the strength to pull them together.
As a result, instead of being able to move the carriage forward, the violent pulling of these magnificent horses directly tore the sturdy carriage apart and broke it into pieces!
The "Blood Sword," born from over two decades of experience, is a joke.
Moreover, from the very moment he began his breakthrough, Cheng Buzheng's Dao heart was as clear as a mirror—
This road is blocked; there is no hope!
The inherent conflict and disharmony of that primordial power were amplified infinitely during the forced ascension process.
It is destined that it will be unable to condense a truly higher level of Dao fruit.
However, once the arrow is released, there's no turning back!
The turbulence of the fundamental laws has already been triggered. Once the process begins, it is like a boulder falling off a cliff; trying to stop it midway is a pipe dream.
Unless he is willing to forcibly interrupt the process by destroying all the fundamental laws on the spot, but the price would be even more severe.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue down this doomed path until the final backlash arrived.
This explains why he was pale and breathing slightly erratically at that moment.
Immediately,
Sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, Cheng Buzheng barely suppressed his churning blood and qi, focused his mind and introspected, carefully sensing the state of his own Dao foundation and the origin of the laws.
Upon realizing this, the bitterness on his face intensified to the point that it was almost dripping with tears.
His lips twitched slightly again.
"This is... a huge loss!"
Cheng Buzheng sighed inwardly, a wave of heartache and helplessness washing over him.
This forced breakthrough not only failed to propel him into the third realm, but also resulted in a violent backlash from the collapse of the laws involved in the failed breakthrough.
It directly damaged a large amount of the Blood Law essence that he had painstakingly accumulated.
This caused his Blood Law, which had already reached the pinnacle of the second realm, to suddenly plummet in power.
It will take a long time to rebuild it.
Such a loss is undoubtedly a heavy blow to cultivators who are pursuing higher realms.
Then,
With a thought, he sank his consciousness into his sea of consciousness, beginning to examine his own state more deeply.
Begin assessing the specific impact of this failure.
next moment.
A strange "panel" that is illusory and complex, composed of countless tiny points of light and lines.
As if responding to a summons, it was clearly projected into his divine perception...

Cheng Buzheng's attention was fixed on the "Laws" section almost the instant the panel appeared.
When his divine sense clearly captured the glaring "65/72" following the "Law of Blood"...
An indescribable throbbing pain suddenly surged from the deepest part of his heart, quickly spreading to his limbs and bones, causing even his Dao heart to tremble slightly.
His heart also ached intensely.
"The perfection of the second realm of the Law of Blood was only achieved by me through a fortuitous encounter in the Forbidden Sea..."
A bitter feeling welled up in Cheng Buzheng's mind.
"Such a creation is a unique case in this world, containing the pure source of laws left behind by the progenitor of the Purgatory Clan."
This allowed the Law of Blood to break through to the perfect level of the second realm, the 'Rune Realm'!
"However!
In order to break through the bottleneck of the Law Realm, he forced his way through...
This caused his cultivation level to plummet and his spiritual body to be damaged.
The number of runes has plummeted from a perfect seventy-two to a mere sixty-five!
