Break down before rising. If he doesn’t’ break down, how will he rise?

Thus, Ling Xian crushed his own Golden Dan and shredded his own body to pieces. Though this was merely a clone, his soul was in it and he, therefore, could clearly feel the agonizing pain.

His bones were crushed, his meridians were in pieces, this undoubtful pain was powerful. His face was now twisted, his body was not tremoring, and fresh blood continued to pour out of him.

However, he continued to clench his teeth and was unwilling to give up.

Because if he gives up now, not only would it mean he had failed, it would also cast a shadow in his heart, which will stop him from attempting this breakthrough again in this lifetime.

Thus, despite the indescribable amount of pain, his resolve remained st.u.r.dy and he vowed to never give up even in death!

One has to admit that his mentality was very strong. Anyone else wouldn’t be able to handle this but he had endured up to this point. Ignoring everything else, his strong mentality alone was something most other people cannot compare themselves to.

Slowly as time went on, Ling Xian felt his pain lessening. It wasn’t that it was hurting less, it was that he was getting used to it.

Near the end of it, he felt numb.

By now, his hair was in a disarray and he was covered in blood. He didn’t even look human on the outside anymore. It was even worse on the inside. Not only were all of his bones crushed, but all of his meridians were also ripped, even his organs were too damaged to repair.

“It is no wonder that so few people dare to attempt this. Ignoring the difficulties of the later stages, the pain of this initial stage is not something normal people can handle.”

Ling Xian forced a smile. This tiny movement somehow connected all the injuries his body felt. He was in so much pain he gasped for cold air.

What could he do? His injuries right now were far too serious. Not only was his body completely impossible to repair, but even his soul was being tortured and had weakened. If his beliefs weren’t supporting him, he would’ve pa.s.sed out by now.

This was the first test of breaking down before rising.

Normally speaking, when others attempt this, they are near death because they have been beaten by their opponent. Yet here he was, crus.h.i.+ng his own Golden Dan. The pain was much stronger this way and much harder to endure.

n.o.body else would treat themselves so badly, let alone enduring through this. Luckily, Ling Xian had endured and had successfully completed this first step.

Breaking down!

“I sure have broken down. I cannot break any further.”

Ling Xian s.h.i.+rked. It was as if he had just walked out of a sea of blood – his entire body was bright red.

However, he didn’t feel hopeless from all this. On the contrary, he had a look of happiness. he could sense the barrier between the completion peak and the undefeatable realm breaking down along with his body.

This meant after he repairs his body, the bottleneck may be broken!

Thus, why wouldn’t he feel ecstatic?

Even though his condition could not get any worse, to get to the undefeatable realm of the completion level, he thought it was worth it to pay a large price.

Therefore, he reenergized himself and mumbled, “Come at me. The last step of this whole process is the most important one.”

Then, he manipulated his majestic ancient blood in an attempt for the last step of his breakthrough.

To rise!

He had already broken it down and killed his physical body. however, what he used was his clone, so his soul didn’t die alongside with it. This gave him a chance to revive himself and gave him the opportunity to rise one last time.

Plus, he had the majestic ancient blood’s insane ability to heal – which was considered an ability similar to the resurrection of a phoenix. Though his healing will come slowly, the ability to heal was still a special ability.

This was why he dared to attempt the breakdown before rising. He wouldn’t joke with his life like that otherwise.

HOMMMMM!

The moment Ling Xian called out to his majestic ancient blood, liveliness exploded from inside his body.

Perhaps the blood felt that its owner was in danger, the majestic blood didn’t work as slowly as it normally does. Instead, it exploded from all directions and revealed its powerful healing abilities.

Instantly, liveliness emerged from inside his body. As if he had just consumed a spiritual medicine that gives him energy, he was acting with much liveliness again.

His pale face revealed colors of happiness. He now sternly believed that he would be able to reach the undefeatable completion stage!

“It is the ancient majestic blood after all. I have made the right bet.”

Ling Xian revealed a happy smile and he was certain now that he would be able to finish this breakthrough.

Because during this process, medicine was utterly useless. The reason why the ancient majestic blood was useful was that for one, his blood was far too heaven-defying, and for two, this blood was his own.

In other words, he was relying on his internal abilities that were the same as the Phoenix being reborn.

Therefore, Ling Xian continued to smile and was full of happiness.

Though this expression caused him tremendous pain – he didn’t care anymore. As long as he could reach the undefeatable realm of the completion level, a little pain was nothing.

If he couldn’t even bear this pain, what kind of rights did he have to be the best? What kind of right did he have to pave the undefeatable path to become one above all others?

“This path is one that I have chosen. No matter how treacherous or difficult, I will have to walk it!”

Ling Xian’s expression was determined and he revealed his determination.

Though things were starting to look his way again, the result was still unknown and he didn’t dare to be reckless. Thus, he manipulated his ancient majestic blood and let this heavenly blood of his explode with its best effects and nourish his broken body.

Perhaps the blood could feel its owner being in danger, the effects it was emitting was obviously more powerful than before. Every time it circulated, it brought on a wave of energy.

This energy was lively and abundant, as it flowed through his broken organs and limbs. Slowly, under this powerful force’s nourishment, an itchy and uncomfortable feeling was starting to bother him.

Ling Xian wasn’t mad at this, instead, he was happy. Because this meant his body was starting to heal.

As expected, after he viewed his own body internally, he saw that his flesh was starting to regrow and his bones were reconnecting.

This made him smile, “I am now on the right path. As long as I can get myself to the moment I am whole again, then I can truly rise.”

The definition of breaking down before rising meant he would rise into the undefeatable realm and become undefeatable completion!

Thinking about this made Ling Xian’s heart burned. However, he knew that he shouldn’t rush this.

What could he do, his physical body had died and it had died in a manner that handicapped him. If he wanted to be repaired like before, it wasn’t going to be easy.

Even though the ancient majestic blood was heaven-defying. Without three to five years, there was no way it would heal!

Thus, Ling Xian closed his eyes and gathered his patience. He silently waited for the day his body goes back to normal.

Just like that, time went on little by little.

Under the nourishment of the ancient majestic blood, his flesh and blood began to rejuvenate, and his bones reconnected. Everything was heading towards the direction of optimism.

When that happens, he would be reborn and enter the undefeatable realm!

When that happens, he would continue to write his legacy as an undefeatable completion leveled cultivator!
