Chapter 1409: Chapter 1409: Breakthrough During War! Chapter 1409: Chapter 1409: Breakthrough During War! Everyone had not expected it.

Tong Yan, when facing just an opponent below the Ancestral Realm, actually got suppressed!

No one had expected Tong Yan to directly swallow a forbidden medicinal pill to enhance his strength!

At the moment he took it, towering flames surged into the sky!

They swirled around Tong Yan, and stripes of flame-like demonic patterns crawled over Tong Yan’s skin. He seemed to be in great pain; his face looked somewhat twisted, with his features bunched together, appearing extremely ferocious!

However, his aura also skyrocketed, reaching the Intermediate Stage of Ancestral Realm!

Intermediate Stage of Ancestral Realm versus a step below the Ancestral Realm, the outcome was predictable.

Shi Sheng’s face also grew solemn. The previous attack had consumed a great deal of his star power, and the qi and blood inside his body were surging continuously, with his Five Organs and Six Orifices slightly displaced.

Clearly, Shi Sheng had also suffered significant injuries in just now’s clash.

However, no one interfered with Tong Yan’s blatant use of forbidden medicine.

Around these nine columns, there wasn’t even a single referee.

Clearly, there were no limits in this fight, no rules whatsoever; whether by any means, as long as you defeat or kill the opponent, you could win.

Inside Fang Qiong’s body, Lian Zhi’s voice sounded.

“Your senior brother may be in danger.”

Fang Qiong nodded, saying, “It is somewhat dangerous, but if senior brother stepped up now, he must have his considerations.”

“Do you need me to take action?”

“Let’s wait and see.”

After Blackie knocked another person away, he noticed the flames filled with demonic qi and looked towards Shi Sheng, frowning slightly.

On the ninth column, that person was still relentlessly bombarding with the Thunder Spear, yet it did not break through. Mu Fusheng, quietly setting up a few more talismans, also turned his gaze toward Shi Sheng.

He initially thought about throwing a dozen talismans that way, but after thinking it over, he decided to abandon the idea for now.

After all, Shi Sheng had the Creation Divine Talisman given by him.

If Shi Sheng used the Creation Divine Talisman and stepped into the Beginner Stage of Ancestral Realm, defeating Tong Yan was still feasible.

But Shi Sheng did not use it, which meant he had other ideas himself.

Thinking of this, Mu Fusheng quietly cast a spell, with dozens of talismans floating above the column where Shi Sheng was, above the clouds.

As soon as Shi Sheng might be in trouble, these dozens of talismans would instantly erupt with mighty power to slay Tong Yan!

“Why not just admit defeat, you think you still stand a chance?” Tong Yan, enduring the severe pain and savoring the surging immortal aura within, said, “No, don’t give up; otherwise, my medicinal pill would be wasted.”

Shi Sheng’s face was solemn, with strands of star power emerging from his limbs and joints, entwining over the ax.

Seeing this, Tong Yan sneered, “I will shatter your pride inch by inch!”

With that, the flames flashed, and Tong Yan disappeared from the spot.

Before Shi Sheng could react, Tong Yan had already appeared in front of him, accompanied by a roar of a fire lion, a punch landed on Shi Sheng’s chest!

Shi Sheng’s eyes narrowed, and even with the protection of star power, his ribcage emitted a cracking sound!

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out from his mouth, and he flew backward.

Tong Yan laughed wildly, without any pause, he rushed towards the direction where Shi Sheng was flying!

Shi Sheng, feeling the wave of flames sweeping in, his expression momentarily stiffened, during the backward flight, he struck his ax into the ground. The ax grinding against the ground forcefully stopped his body.

Then he twisted his wrist, swinging his ax towards the approaching Tong Yan.

Tong Yan threw an uppercut, the fire surged upward! From bottom to top, it struck on the ax.

A massive burning sensation traveled through the ax into various parts of Shi Sheng’s body.

The skin even started to crack, a slowly spreading burnt scent of flesh…

Shi Sheng grimaced in pain, his palm trembling slightly, but just this trembling gave Tong Yan a glaring opportunity!

Drawing back his fist, under a surge of flames, he roared low and threw his fists again towards Shi Sheng’s chest!

Under this punch, some were anxious, others were gloating.

Clearly, no one believed Shi Sheng could withstand this strike.

Mu Fusheng also slightly frowned, his hands already prepared to trigger the talismans floating directly above Tong Yan!

Inside Fang Qiong’s body, Lian Zhi was also ready for action, preparing to save Shi Sheng.

Atop the high platform, Jiu Xuan urgently asked, “Sister, you should be able to save Brother Shi, right?”

Jiu Bailu nodded slightly, with a golden light already filling her pupils.

However, as her golden, causality-filled gaze landed on Shi Sheng, she was momentarily startled before the aura about her started to rapidly fade.

“Hmm? Sister, you’re not planning to make a move?” Jiu Xuan noticed the anomaly and asked in confusion.

Jiu Bailu shook her head, “No need anymore.”

No need anymore?

Jiu Xuan shifted his gaze back to the pillar.

Just as Tong Yan’s fist was about to strike Shi Sheng’s chest,

Shi Sheng unexpectedly abandoned the Ming Huang Axe and threw punches infused with star power right back!

Bang!

A thunderous sound!

Two different Dao Law forces contended on equal footing!

But this time, Shi Sheng was not sent flying.

Instead, he met Tong Yan head-on without being at a disadvantage!

Tong Yan, witnessing this scene, was also shocked; Could he have taken some medicinal pill?

But the next moment, Tong Yan dismissed that thought.

Inside Shi Sheng’s body, a surging aura started to emerge!

It was as if a water-filled vessel could no longer bear the strain and began to rupture, with water spurting out in all directions!

A metamorphosis from cocoon to butterfly!

This aura, directly entering the Ancestral Realm!

Seeing this, Mu Fusheng realized and couldn’t help a wry, helpless smile.

So, Senior Brother Shi had planned to use this battle to break through to the Ancestral Realm.

No wonder he didn’t use the Creation Divine Talisman.

Although this method was indeed one of the fastest ways to break through a realm.

It was just a bit too dangerous…

Blackie grinned, not distracted anymore, and collided once again with a person in the late stage of the Ancestral Realm.

Fang Qiong, with a hanging heart, also let it fall, slightly relieved and then smiled, “Truly worthy of being Senior Brother.”

The expressions of the people around varied.

But none were not amazed by Shi Sheng’s audacity.

Breaking through during battle was too dangerous.

One misstep could lead to possession or deviation from the correct path.

After breaking through to the Ancestral Realm,

The injuries inside Shi Sheng’s body and the massively consumed star power also recovered completely at this moment.

With a shake of his fists, the star power roared out from his arms!

A powerful suppressive power fell upon Tong Yan.

Tong Yan grunted, actually being knocked back!

Upon steadying himself, he looked up at Shi Sheng, his expression filled with incredulity.

Even though he had broken through to the Ancestral Realm, it was still only the Beginner Stage of the Ancestral Realm! Logically, he still shouldn’t be a match for him, right?

How could this be now?

But then, how could he know that the half step to Ancestral Realm was only a half-step away,

And that, too, was a leap across a major cultivation realm.

From Beginner Stage to Intermediate Stage were just minor realms, although still with a substantial gap, but Shi Sheng who broke through to the Ancestral Realm, was undoubtedly stronger than Tong Yan.
