Chapter 825 - 680: Targeted by the Heavenly Demon
As soon as Qin An shouted the word "breakthrough," he instantly felt the blood within his body boiling like raging fire.
The boiling blood surged throughout his body, seemingly scorching every meridian.
Meanwhile, intense pain struck.
Accompanied by the pain, Qin An couldn’t help but curl up his body to alleviate the suffering.
Although he had experienced countless battles, he still found this pain unbearable, as if his soul was being burned, rather than physical pain.
Amidst this soul-rending agony, Qin An felt that the supreme foundation he had built was connected by a bridge, bursting from within and linking to the entire heavens and earth.
And the moment his blood was intertwined with this foundation, connecting to the whole world, he felt an intangible power flowing throughout his body.
At this moment, Qin An realized he had stepped into the Manifest Saint Realm.
With a casual wave of his hand, he unexpectedly wielded the might of heaven and earth.
At the same time, Qin An felt a mysterious force sweeping through his body, lifting him to stand mid-air in the void.
Flying is a unique ability possessed only by masters of the Manifest Saint Realm, forming a chasm between them and lower realms.
With such an ability, one becomes a top master, able to borrow the Power of Heaven and Earth to soar.
Qin An breathed out deeply and then slowly descended.
After elevating his Heart Method to the Initial Mastery Level of the Manifest Saint Realm, it not only held changes but also could complement his supreme foundation, bringing stronger effects.
It can be said that with just this Heart Method alone, it’s estimated that even those at the Great Success in the Manifest Saint Realm could not match him.
Moreover, he had yet to deduce other Cultivation Techniques.
If he were to complete the deductions for all other Cultivation Techniques, he felt he might be able to advance even further.
Qin An breathed out deeply.
Next are the Blade Skill and Fist Skill.
He didn’t waste a single moment, as little time was left for him.
He must seize the opportunity to advance all his professions to the twenty-fifth level as soon as possible so that he can wholeheartedly strive for the final realm.
Just as Qin An was about to find a place to hone his proficiency in the Butcher and Blacksmith professions, suddenly, he halted.
He sensed something amiss and quickly lifted his head, gazing upward.
Above was the ceiling, but Qin An’s gaze seemed to penetrate these layers of obstructions, reaching the sky.
He felt an invisible force cloaking the heavens above, like a sharp sword pointing at him.
And he could be turned into mere flying ash under the sword’s might at any moment.
What is happening?
Qin An pressed his hand against his long sword, and his aura exploded, radiating an astounding killing intent.
But just as he prepared to fight back, the sharp aura vanished suddenly as if it had never appeared.
And the hint of a crisis he sensed also mysteriously disappeared.
Yet Qin An did not let down his guard; he carefully examined and suddenly understood the cause.
"Could it be that my breakthrough to the Manifest Saint Realm has attracted the attention of an unseen presence? And it seems to have locked onto me—could it be the Heavenly Demon lurking in the shadows?"
With a slight analysis, Qin An came up with a conjecture.
Because his earlier sensation felt as if an invisible force had locked onto him.
Should it descend, it would strike him first and kill him.
Considering the current situation, Qin An easily thought of the Heavenly Demon.
In fact, only the Heavenly Demon has that power.
Qin An sneered, "Impressive, knowing my identity as the Savior. Upon my breakthrough into the Manifest Saint Realm, it already preemptively sealed and searched for my whereabouts."
"Seems like my breakthrough into the Manifest Saint Realm is a mixed blessing."
The joy is that he indeed broke through, his power greatly enhanced, bringing substantial benefits.
The worry is that this allowed the opponent to lock onto him.
Once it truly descends into this world, it will immediately act, aiming to kill him.
Yet Qin An merely considered it without taking it seriously.
After all, the descent of the Heavenly Demon remains unknown, and to fret over such things now is merely adding burdens to himself.
Instead, he should hasten to cultivate proficiency in other professions.
Having thought it through, Qin An decided not to linger and prepared to leave the room.
But as he stepped out a few steps further, suddenly his heart jolted, and he once again lifted his head to scour the sky.
This time, another sensation emerged.
Yet the feeling was entirely different from before.
If the previous sensation was a sharp sword, directly pointing at him, ready to descend and decapitate him, then now it was a strange sense of attraction and pulling.
This sense of attraction and pulling seemed to be drawing him into another space, filled with benevolence.
Qin An didn’t understand the nature of this feeling, but he surprisingly found he couldn’t resist it.
Because this feeling was so elusive, without any tangible form, how could he possibly grasp it?
Following this, Qin An suddenly felt his consciousness rapidly blurring before his eyes.
Subsequently, he noticed his surroundings also changing, as an invisible barrier seemed to envelop the vicinity.
