Almighty Genius

Chapter 2519 - 2013: Advancement! Great Grandmaster!

...To successfully break through in one go, Qin Fang naturally needed to be fully prepared... The Barbaric God Stone also served as a powerful catalyst.

"I will definitely succeed!"

Qin Fang silently cheered himself on in his heart, while rapidly circulating the True Qi within his body, preparing for the final breakthrough.

The True Qi was rapidly circulating, frantically absorbing the Savage Wildlands Qi from outside, continuously integrating into Qin Fang's True Qi... The elemental energy wasn't idle either, slowly flowing, partly merging and strengthening the True Qi, and partly accelerating the absorption of the Savage Wildlands Qi.

The aura around Qin Fang was becoming more and more violent...

Even with several formations as barriers, Little Dragon and Divine Silkworm outside could feel it... This aura was even continually spreading outward, attracting the aura of certain fierce exotic beasts.

Fifty meters, a hundred meters, two hundred meters...

The surroundings of this cave were all forest, dense trees, weeds, vines, and so on covered everything here, while also concealing the tracks of those fierce exotic beasts... Little Dragon and the Divine Silkworm had senses far beyond ordinary people, but even they couldn't detect the fierce beasts far away.

Moreover, this was the consequence of the aura Qin Fang was releasing, and they could only guarding outside to prevent something happening to Qin Fang... As for what kind of fierce exotic beasts might be attracted, they couldn't be preoccupied with that.

At most, when these fierce exotic beasts appeared, the two of them would join forces to repel or kill them...

Of course, if a fierce beast appeared that even they couldn't handle together, they'd immediately notify Qin Fang to run away... Advancing to the Great Grandmaster level was certainly important, but staying alive was more important. Without life, not to mention the Great Grandmaster level, even the Supreme Realm would be meaningless.

At this moment, Qin Fang was fully enhancing his strength, wanting to raise the power he could master to the extreme before the official breakthrough... So that during the breakthrough, he could explode with the strongest strength, succeed in a single burst.

Elemental energy and True Qi were operating at high speed, with Savage Wildlands Qi continuously flowing into Qin Fang's body from outside, pouring into his meridians...

This forced integration could indeed unleash a very strong power in a short time, but the risks were also obvious… If the breakthrough failed, the consequences would be quite severe, possibly resulting in serious internal injuries, even damaging the martial artist's foundation.

Placed in the hands of other martial artists, they wouldn't dare to do this for sure. At least they would sort out this Savage Wildlands Qi before quickly integrating it… The True Qi's rejection shouldn't be taken lightly; even Paramount Realm Experts could be killed at critical moments.

But Qin Fang couldn't bother with these. Be it internal injuries or external wounds, he had ways to deal with them… And once he succeeded in the breakthrough, the True Qi would transform into Gang Qi; even if there were some hidden injuries, they could be easily eliminated.

He was placing all his bets on this breakthrough…

The aura around Qin Fang grew stronger and stronger… The aura released even subtly made the stone-walled cave tremble, and the formations outside also became slightly uneasy, seemingly being stimulated by the aura from Qin Fang.

"Roar~~~"

Amidst a low roar from Qin Fang, his aura climbed to the peak, and then he launched a fierce attack on the barrier of the Great Grandmaster level… A highly condensed True Qi was furiously attacking.

Buzz~~~

Qin Fang's ears buzzed, almost instantly going deaf…

This power was extremely strong, so strong that even Qin Fang felt a bit out of control… The ringing in his ears was a minor issue; Qin Fang could also clearly sense every pore on his body was releasing powerful aura outward.

Now, he seemed to have turned into a human-shaped bomb… If it exploded, the power would be unimaginably terrifying.

As long as he could break through that barrier, this violent True Qi would quickly integrate into Qin Fang's body, transforming into Gang Qi, thereby nourishing Qin Fang's physical body and resolving this crisis invisibly.

But…

Would Qin Fang so easily succeed in breakthrough?

Violent True Qi, accompanied by a little elemental energy, frantically attacked that barrier, with the violent force almost making it difficult for Qin Fang to hold on, every muscle and bone in his body was extremely painful, his robust body trembled violently, and big drops of sweat dripped down.

"I still underestimated the difficulty of breaking through…"

Enduring such terrifying pain, Qin Fang almost wanted to give up several times but ultimately endured… His special constitution allowed him to upgrade quickly, but it also caused significant defects, which was the weak foundation.

Even though Qin Fang had tried his best to suppress and accumulate his strength, the weakness of the foundation couldn't be covered up…

And at this moment, Qin Fang's weaknesses were exposed…

The barrier of the Great Grandmaster level was there, like an impregnable wall… Now, Qin Fang was gathering all his power to attack the wall, wanting to completely destroy it, so he could have a clear path ahead.

Qin Fang gathered all his power to form terrifying attacks again and again, as if he'd equipped himself with battering rams, hammering the wall... Each hammer was terrifyingly powerful, and with every strike, it seemed to leave a not-so-small mark on the wall.

```

However, after sustaining so long, the city wall has certainly suffered considerable damage, yet it still stands resolutely... On the contrary, those using the battering ram feel utterly exhausted!

This is precisely the situation Qin Fang finds himself in...

The Grandmaster Level barrier remains steadfast, blocking Qin Fang's path to advancement... He has exerted nearly all his strength to break through, but the results aren't particularly promising; rather, things are getting worse.

The True Qi within Qin Fang is still robust, but tainted by the weak Savage Wildlands Qi, making it impure and increasingly ineffective, causing even more adverse effects to manifest and amplify.

This is the consequence of an unstable foundation...

"I won't give up!"

At this stage, Qin Fang is caught in a dilemma... If he abandons the breakthrough, he can rest without harm, nurturing his strength; perhaps in two or three years, he could naturally advance to the Grandmaster Level.

However, Qin Fang no longer wants to progress step-by-step, unwilling to waste so much time waiting...

Clenching his teeth tightly, Qin Fang let out a low growl, and his aura erupted once again... It wasn't a tumultuous, magnificently powerful surge, but a sharp, majestic essence.

Originating from... Qin Fang's seemingly insignificant elemental energy!

More precisely... Qin Fang utilized the Vitality Secret Sword!

But this time, he wasn't using the Vitality Secret Sword against an opponent or foe, but rather on himself.

From Qin Fang's Dantian, the elemental energy mixed with Savage Wildlands Qi and washed by the Four Symbols Prime Qi quickly coalesced into a whole, then exploded completely... All the strength gathered into a formidable secret sword, erupting within Qin Fang's body.

Its aim isn't to destroy Qin Fang's body or wreck his internal meridians, but to charge toward the Grandmaster Level barrier blocking Qin Fang's path.

The Vitality Secret Sword's power is immensely terrifying; even Grandmaster-level Experts wielding Protective Gang Qi cannot defend against it, not even Paramount Realm Experts would underestimate this formidable secret technique... And now Qin Fang uses it to unleash his strongest attack power.

"Success or failure hinges on this!"

Qin Fang utilized all his strength, the ravaging True Qi ordered, and the elemental energy completely condensed into the Vitality Secret Sword, making it impossible to release it a second time... Success means Qin Fang wins, failure means utter defeat!

Hissing~~~

The Vitality Secret Sword, though silent, exudes formidable power as it traverses Qin Fang's meridians; whether True Qi or elemental energy, all yield to it... Faint sounds of True Qi being forcibly severed can still be heard.

"Boom~~

Right at this critical moment, the Vitality Secret Sword viciously struck the barrier layer.

Splat~~

Almost simultaneously, Qin Fang forcefully spewed a mouthful of blood... The vigor of his entire being seemed to suddenly disperse, indicating that this violent clash had also caused immense harm to him.

Crack~~

However, Qin Fang's efforts weren't entirely in vain.

The previously unbreakable Grandmaster Level barrier now resembled bullet-pierced tempered glass... Fragments of obvious cracks appeared, no longer mere superficial tears but elongated fissures.

The barrier exhibited significant flaws!

The Vitality Secret Sword disintegrated with one strike, but its effect was substantial!

Opportunity arises...

At this moment, Qin Fang hesitated not at all, for although the Vitality Secret Sword had dispersed, his body still harbored overwhelmingly turbulent True Qi... Nearly instantaneously, he mobilized all the mobilizable True Qi, tempestuous and unrestrained, surging toward the barrier layer.

Crunch crunch crunch~~~

As if countless battering rams were pounding away, relentlessly expanding those fissures… widening, widening, and finally unable to hinder the wild surge of True Qi anymore, utterly shattering them!

Buzz~~

Upon violently blasting open the gates to the Grandmaster Realm with a force akin to tidal waves, Qin Fang immediately sensed entering entirely different territory... His entire being transitioned into a completely distinct state.

"I've broken through..."

Undoubtedly, Qin Fang finally shattered the shackles, truly stepping into the Grandmaster Level! (To be continued.
