Sword Emperor

Boundless energy was surging within Sun Bing's body. After reaching the Ninth Level of the Life and Death Stage, it was as if his entire body had been enhanced. Boundless Rules of Heaven and Earth was washing over his body, and the energy ripples were getting stronger and stronger.    

    

This was especially true for Sun Bing's Heavenly Abode. Previously, it had doubled in size after breaking through to the Seventh Heavenly Layer. Now that it had broken through again, the energy it brought was twice as much as before, or even ten times as much. Adding all the accumulated energy and resources that Sun Bing had accumulated all this time, it was a huge boost to his Heavenly Abode.    

    

Currently, Sun Bing's Heavenly Passage had a radius of a hundred thousand miles. An ordinary person would never be able to surpass such a huge number in their lifetime. It was said that even the weaker saints only had their own Heavenly Passage that was only an hundred thousand miles in radius.    

    

It could be said that with just the size of the Heavenly Passage alone, Sun Bing was no different from a saint. The only difference was that there was no Holy Dao Law in the Heavenly Passage, so there was still a bit of a deficiency in it.    

    

Sun Bing's successful breakthrough this time had an unimaginable effect on his strength. One should know that Sun Bing wasn't just an ordinary cultivator. He didn't give up on the refinement of his fleshly body. He had now far surpassed the cultivators of the same realm.    

    

It could even be said that with the Black Tortoise True Body that Sun Bing had mastered, the strength of the Black Tortoise True Body was no less than that of the Half Saint. It had almost reached the limit that could only be achieved by those below the Saint realm.    

    

The Double Physical Training of the Dao Art could enhance one's strength. It was no longer a simple effect of one plus one. The power that could be unleashed from it was absolutely beyond one's imagination.    

    

However, Sun Bing wasn't too surprised. Although he had successfully broken through this time, the Genuine Dragon and essence blood had still caused some damage to him. As a result, his Qi was still a little weak. Therefore, he instantly kept his Yuan Yi and gradually calmed down the energy in his body.    

    

This time, it took him several months to stabilize his cultivation base. Only then did Sun Bing open his eyes once again. A crazy joy that couldn't be hidden flashed through his eyes.    

    

After all, at this moment, Sun Bing's cultivation base had finally stabilized. The Qi on his body was extremely deep. Only after reaching such a level could Sun Bing understand the terrifying power contained in his body.    

    

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Sun Bing's current strength was at least dozens of times stronger than when he was at the Seventh Sky of the Life and Death Stage. As long as he wanted to, he could kill Sun Bing with a single strike. Even with the 'Nirvana' secret technique, he wouldn't be able to defend against such a terrifying attack.    

    

Furthermore, with such a terrifying defense, Sun Bing could only injure him with a few forbidden techniques.    

    

At that time, Sun Bing was merely at the seventh level of the Life and Death Stage, but he was able to kill an expert of the Half Saint with ease. In that case, it was imaginable how strong Sun Bing was, even if he hadn't fought before. He must be even stronger now.    

    

However, after realizing this, Sun Bing wasn't satisfied. Although Ninth Level of the Life and Death Stage was the end point of Life and Death Stage, it was also the starting point of a higher realm.    

    

In order to successfully attain the Dao and become a Saint, one had to settle down in the Life and Death Stage. There were even some cultivators who had to settle down in this realm for over a thousand years before they could make a breakthrough. To reach that level, they weren't any weaker than the Half Saint. Furthermore, there were also some cultivators who had to settle down in the Life and Death Stage for over a thousand years before they could make a breakthrough. * Hong Long...... *    

    

At this moment, Sun Bing was deep in thought. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Calculating, it has been almost a year since I broke through to the next realm. My harvest is indeed bountiful, but I can't relax either. I still need to continue my seclusion."    

    

Ninth Level of the Life and Death Stage was a starting point for one's foundation. For others, it was even more important for Sun Bing, who cared about his foundation, to plan properly.    

    

For ordinary Ninth Level of the Life and Death Stage warriors, as long as one's Profound Meaning reached the level of Dao Initiation, they would be able to make a breakthrough. After that, they would be able to pass the test between the heaven and earth and soar into the sky, achieving sainthood.    

    

It could be said that after every Son of God reached this level, he would be able to become a saint without any illness or disaster. However, no Son of God would be able to achieve this in such a short period of time.    

    

After all, a Saint who had successfully broken through could only be considered the weakest among the Saints. No matter how talented and proud you were before, you would eventually become extremely weak. You would only be able to find a sense of existence in front of the weak.    

    

Only those ordinary cultivators who were at the Ninth Level of the Life and Death Stage, who would occasionally flash a ray of spiritual light with their Profound Meaning, would make such a decision. However, such a person was only one in ten thousand amongst the Ninth Level of the Life and Death Stage cultivators.    

    

As for the remaining Life and Death Stage Cultivator, most of them would never be able to reach the Dao Initiation realm in their entire lives. When faced with a crisis or when they did not have much lifespan left, they would try their best to enter the Dao Initiation realm.    

    

The chances of breaking through using this method was too slim. There were tens of thousands of Ninth Level of the Life and Death Stage warriors, and the chances of breaking through were extremely slim. Only one person could successfully transcend the heavenly might and transform into the weakest saint.    

    

As for the remaining cultivators who couldn't pass the test of the Heavens and Earth, they either died in the boundless heavenly might or turned into the Half Saint, with no hope of breaking through for the rest of their lives.    

    

Such a test could be said to be incomparably cruel. One had to know that anyone who could reach the Life and Death Stage could be considered as a heaven's pride expert, let alone those who could reach the level 9 and kill countless people. In the end, only a one in a billion chance of attaining the Dao and becoming a Saint could be achieved.    

    

If he wanted to become stronger and have a higher chance of breaking through, he would need to fortify his foundation in the Ninth Level of the Life and Death Stage. The more profound he comprehended, the higher the chance of him breaking through.    

    

Generally speaking, if two Profound Meanings were to break through to the perfection, the success rate would be one thousandth. If three of them were to break through, the success rate would be one hundredth of the success rate. If four of them were to break through to the perfection, the success rate would be one tenth of the success rate.    

    

However, there were still countless cultivators who were unable to do so. In the end, they could only try their best when their lives were limited.    

    

However, Holy Son and Son of God from the sect had other choices. These geniuses were usually extraordinary, and they wouldn't want to be wiped out by the masses. In that case, they would be able to accumulate more resources during this period of time.    

    

They could gradually comprehend the profound meaning, allowing them to successfully transform into the Dao Initiation realm. Generally speaking, before one breaks through to the next realm, the more Profound Meanings one has, the stronger one would become after becoming a Saint. Once one breaks through to the next realm, one would have the terrifying strength to crush any ordinary Saint.    

    

Because of this reason, there will always be countless geniuses who have stopped at the Ninth Level of the Life and Death Stage. When one has reached this level of cultivation, one will have a lifespan of at least a few thousand years. If one has a lot of wealth, one can even reach the level of ten thousand years with the help of the spiritual medicine.    

    

Therefore, in order to fight for a stronger strength, every cultivator wouldn't care about staying at the Ninth Level of the Life and Death Stage for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. They could even reach the point where they couldn't continue to comprehend the Profound Meaning, which was why they had no choice but to break through.    

    

However, once a Profound Meaning entered the Dao, it would allow you to break through to the Saint realm safely. It would be very difficult for the two sects to face the Heavenly Tribulation, because it was already a taboo in the world.    

    

It was as if they were stealing the power of the world. Therefore, one naturally had to face the cruelest test test. The more profound one entered the Dao, the more powerful one would become in the future. However, the test one had to face would also become more and more cruel. There were very few people who could pass it.    

    

Since ancient times, the majority of Son of God had broken through the two Profound Meanings, because with the help of the sect, it wasn't that difficult for him to pass the tribulation.    

    

It was rare for Son of God to break through to the next realm. Since ancient times, only a few thousand people had succeeded in breaking through to the next realm.    

    

There were less than a hundred people who had broken through to the next level. Every one of them had a great reputation in history. Unless they fell, they would definitely be able to break through to the Holy King. There were very few people who could break through to the next realm. There were only two of them.    

    

However, according to the information Sun Bing had obtained from the Inheritance Academy, each of these three people could be said to be peerless. Wherever they went, they would be unstoppable, and they could even challenge those who were at the same realm as them.    

    

According to the rumors, only the first generation Sword Sovereign, the half-monarch, was able to break through to the next level of the Profound Meaning. Those who were at the next level of the Profound Meaning would no longer exist. It wasn't just because of the terrifying heavenly might, but also because the time spent to comprehend the Profound Meaning was too much.
