If breaking limits were so easy, they wouldn't be called limits.

Unless one's realm cannot be broken, a Martial Cultivator will choose to break through limits.

Some geniuses also slow down their breakthrough speed voluntarily to deepen their foundation, solidifying every level.

Solidifying one's realm doesn't mean Body Refinement, but cultivating one's Cultivation Technique to the limit, elevating Spiritual Power to the limit, and raising Qi Blood to the limit, breaking through only when there's no further path.

Accumulating realm by realm, the difference between late-stage cultivators and ordinary Martial Cultivators is nothing short of worlds apart.

Lu Yu's powerful physique can contain Spiritual Power far exceeding his current realm; theoretically, he could hold tens of thousands of Spiritual Power.

However, merely increasing the amount of Spiritual Power without elevating the realm will not improve the quality of Spiritual Power.

A Qi Realm cultivator with tens of thousands of Spiritual Power is not necessarily stronger than an early Sea Realm cultivator with merely thousands of Spiritual Power.

The "quality" of Spiritual Power between the two is completely different; the latter's ten thousand liquid power can easily crush the former's gaseous power.

They are like a sponge and steel; the latter can effortlessly break the former's defense, while the former, no matter how abundant, can hardly harm the latter.

Moreover, advancing realms can increase cultivation speed; the higher the realm, the faster Spiritual Power is refined per unit time; otherwise, a Sea Realm expert couldn't restore hundreds of Spiritual Power per second.

Currently, Lu Yu's Spiritual Power cultivation can support him to elevate his realm to the fourth stage of the Qi Realm.

The 600,000 Points of realm experience was acquired by Lu Yu from his master, Li Qiuyang; even in Yunhai City, he did not miss any chance to listen to Li Qiuyang's teachings.

Li Qiuyang's realm far surpasses Lu Yu's, and every time Lu Yu listens to his teachings, he consistently gains 10% of his current realm's experience points.

In nine days, Lu Yu listened to Li Qiuyang's teachings three times, gaining 600,000 experience points.

Having accumulated 600,000 realm experience points and now possessing 500,000 free experience points, Lu Yu still needs 900,000 experience points to elevate his realm.

More than elevating the realm, Lu Yu wants to enhance Iaijutsu; the higher the rank of Iaijutsu, the more experience points required to enhance its realm.

Enhancing Iaijutsu's realm now, under the special property of self-created martial arts maintaining martial realm stability, can save substantial experience points in the future.

Lu Yu also contemplates whether to use a Dao Reflection Stone now to elevate the grade of Iaijutsu. Such high-grade items are incredibly hard to obtain.

He acquired one Dao Reflection Stone only by perishing alongside the Sword God Remnant.

If Lu Yu ever has the chance to enter the Secret Realm again and defeat the Sword God Remnant once more, there's no guarantee he'd get another Dao Reflection Stone.

After careful thought, Lu Yu chooses not to use the Dao Reflection Stone since Iaijutsu is currently only a grade four Spirit-level Martial Art.

The higher the Martial Art grade, the harder it is to elevate; the Dao Reflection Stone, such a vital resource, should be used wisely.

Lu Yu consumes nearly 300,000 experience points to elevate Iaijutsu to an incomparable realm.

[Skill Level Up!!! Iaijutsu - Celestial Collapse (As Divine Skill) → Asura Slash (Incomparable)]

Upon advancing Iaijutsu to the Incomparable realm, even its name changes; the most significant transformation is the way momentum gathers.

After advancing from Iaijutsu - Celestial Collapse to Asura Slash, Lu Yu no longer needs to consciously gather momentum; with a single determination for a fatal strike, he can double the power of Asura Slash.

This shift implies that whether Lu Yu has killing intent directly determines the power of Asura Slash.

In its normal state, Asura Slash can unleash double damage, and with killing intent, up to triple damage.

Though it seems the power is unchanged from before, achieving triple damage from Iaijutsu - Celestial Collapse required prior momentum, which isn't always possible in every battle.

With 200,000 experience points remaining, since the pursuers haven't arrived yet, Lu Yu purchases the pre-selected martial art from the store to merge with Iaijutsu.

Sky Splitting Slash, a grade four Martial Art, worth 2.6 million points.

Sky Splitting Slash shares the same martial philosophy with Iaijutsu, yet it's a wind attribute Martial Art.

Without the wind attribute Spiritual Power, Sky Splitting Slash can't unleash its full power, but Lu Yu doesn't mind; Sky Splitting Slash is meant for fusion.

[Detected player learning martial art—Sky Splitting Slash, loading Sky Splitting Slash martial art template 1%...2%...]

[Congrats, player has learned a new skill—Sky Splitting Slash (Novice), requires 5000 experience points to elevate to the next realm]

Compared to the first enhancement of the Blade Technique, which required 2000 experience points, it's substantially more.

But for Lu Yu at present, it's not many experience points; Lu Yu directly elevates Sky Splitting Slash to the minimum realm necessary for fusion—Peak Pinnacle.

Consuming 5000 experience points to ascend to Minor Conception, then 10,000 experience points to enter Mastery, consuming another 20,000 to Perfection, and further 60,000 to Peak Pinnacle.

A total expense of 95,000 experience points for Lu Yu.

[Fuse martial art—Sky Splitting Slash (Peak Pinnacle), requires consuming 100,000 experience points, proceed with fusion?]

[Consumed 100,000 experience points, martial art fusion successful!!!]

[Martial Art Grade Up!!! Asura Slash (Spirit-grade Four) → Asura Slash (Spirit-grade Five)]

[Since Asura Slash is a player self-created skill, the martial realm remains "Incomparable."]

After Asura Slash advances to a five-grade level, it can deal 2.5 times damage, executing a fatal strike for four times damage; the power of the five-grade Spirit-level Asura Slash can still escalate.

The limit of a four-grade martial art is doubling the power, resulting in damage twice the explosive Spiritual Power.

This requires cultivating martial art to Peak Pinnacle to achieve.

Before reaching Peak Pinnacle, every martial realm enhancement escalates its power until the extreme potential of the martial art is reached.

Not every martial art can reach the extreme power represented by its grade; most martial arts achieving extreme power are premium among their grade.

Sky Splitting Slash is a premium wind attribute martial art among four-grade levels.

Up until now, Lu Yu has nearly exhausted all his experience points, but his strength has significantly elevated.

He exits the room with Hai Wei and looks "above."

From Yunhai City's perspective, Lu Yu is gazing at the seabed.

In the seabed, at the edge of the Secret Realm, there are many meteors rushing here—sea tribes moving at high speed with Spiritual Power propulsion.

Four hours have passed, and the tribes holding the oceanic artifact have sensed Hai Wei's location.

Although the Secret Realm blocks most of the power, the sea tribes can vaguely ascertain the area where Hai Wei is located, knowing she is in the underwater ruins opposite Yunhai City.

Led by the persistent Swordfish Commander, a small portion of the sea tribes detaches from the main force and swims toward the underwater ruins.

Four hours later, the barrier of Yunhai City long broken, yet the sea hasn't engulfed Yunhai City.

When the barrier broke, Yunhai City's counteroffensive power had already gathered, thwarting the sea tribes' attempt to flood Yunhai City and use it as the main battlefield.

Players have noticed the sea tribes' movements; though the squad led by the Swordfish Commander is a minor part of the massive sea tribe force, those observant still noticed.

Some players, avoiding distractions from the brutal main battlefield of Yunhai City, sneak into the underwater ruin's Secret Realm; others see the sea tribes' maneuvers and also dive into the underwater ruin Secret Realm.

While underwater combat against sea tribes is disadvantageous, it's far preferable to the harsh front-line battlefield.

The main battlefield's sea has already stained red and blue—red is human blood, blue is sea tribe blood.

A new battlefield is about to form within the underwater ruins.
