Chapter 406: Rapid Advancement

The smile on Victor’s face grew even wider as he looked at the river water that continued to pour in.

Drink up, the more the Meat Mountain drank, the more advantageous the situation would be for Victor!

At this moment, the evaporated water vapor had already expanded Meat Mountain’s abdomen, causing it to swell horribly. However, in order to alleviate the burning sensation, it kept drinking and swallowing water. In other words, sooner or later, it would explode from the water vapor!

Such a simple principle, yet exceptionally useful.

Time passed bit by bit. Victor could clearly feel that its stomach had expanded more than twice. This was a good sign.

As long as it was a sealed space, it would sooner or later reach a critical point. As long as it continued, Victor might be able to leave.

As expected, just as Victor was thinking, a deafening explosion sounded in his ear!

It was like a hydrogen bomb exploding by Victor’s ear!

Although his body had already been tempered, it was still cracked open by the violent explosion. Fresh blood flowed out, and his entire body was like a broken porcelain doll that had been glued together.

However, fortunately, Victor was out.

He fell heavily on the ground, feeling the scent of grass from the wind blowing on his face. Victor thought that living was such a beautiful thing.

Moreover, at this moment, a large hole was opened in Meat Mountain’s abdomen, its intestines and stomach flowed out from the opening!

Seeing this scene, Victor was extremely happy!

As long as it was injured, Victor had the confidence to kill him!

So what if he was at the nascent soul realm?

With a large hole in its abdomen, Victor doubted it could still maintain a nascent soul realm strength!

With this thought in mind, Victor shouted, picked up the Flowing Smoke Sword, and flew toward Meat Mountain!

Top of its head!

This was probably the only place on the Meat Mountain that did not have any fat. Moreover, the explosion just now had also left many wounds on the Meat Mountain’s body!

Victor’s mind moved, and the qi flow guided the spiritual power to attach to the body of the sword, bursting out a nine-foot-long sword ray!

“Go to hell, beast!”

Victor jumped up, holding the sword with both hands, and pierced it into the Meat Mountain’s wounds!

Roar!

Intense pain swept over. Meat Mountain rammed into its surroundings like a madman, attempting to throw Victor down!

However, the more he resisted, the more Victor exerted strength!

When the entirety of the Flowing Smoke Sword’s blade was entered and the sharp sword ray instantly crushed the Meat Mountain’s brain, it collapsed with a loud bang!

Unfortunately, when Victor pulled out the Flowing Smoke Sword, Meat Mountain’s hard skull actually broke the Flowing Smoke Sword!

“I can only give her another one…”

After being reborn, Victor’s mood finally eased up.

“But, what exactly is this thing?”

Victor frowned and turned to look at the huge thing.

At this moment, the Meat Mountain’s huge body suddenly began to collapse. Its flesh turned into mud and its fat spread out. In the huge body, there was actually a huge Blood Source Ore!

“So that’s how it is…”

Outside the secret realm, seeing this scene, the great elder let out a sigh.

“Qi Yuan, why are you sighing? What exactly is this Meat Mountain?” Elder Bai asked.

After all, he had already led his disciples to participate in the secret realm trial five times. His disciples had also encountered the Meat Mountain more than once. There was also a time when all of them were wiped out, and not a single person came out alive.

Therefore, Elder Bai, too, abnormally loathed the Meat Mountain!

If it were not for the fact that the secret realm did not allow cultivators above the core formation realm to enter, they would have long finished off the three beast kings.

“I don’t know what exactly this Meat Mountain is, but the reason why it looks like this is most likely because it ate a large piece of Blood Source Ore by mistake.”

“The Blood Source Ore actually has such an effect?”

“That’s only natural. The Blood Source Ore isn’t something that only cultivators can use, but the problem is that the Blood Source Ore itself isn’t pure power. It must be purified and refined before it can be used. As for demonic beasts that can master this method, it can be counted on one hand. Therefore, it naturally turned out like this.”

“I see. I’ve learned something.”

Elder Bai nodded and turned around. His gaze returned to the secret realm.

At the same time, Victor discovered something unusual.

This piece of Blood Source Ore seemed to be different from the Blood Source Ore he had encountered.

In comparison, the power of this piece of Blood Source Ore was purer!

At the same time, it was also more dangerous!

“I should put it away first…”

With this thought in mind, Victor reached out his hand to touch the Blood Source Ore.

However, in the next second!

A blood-red liquid suddenly emerged from the Blood Source Ore. In the blink of an eye, it devoured Victor and turned him into a blood ball!

At the center of the blood ball, Victor only felt a majestic aura of life surging into his body. Soon, his spirit veins swelled up!

This majestic aura of life was not something that Victor’s current cultivation level could withstand, unless he rapidly improved under the watchful eyes of everyone!

However, if that happened, Victor’s cultivation level would be exposed, and even his identity might be exposed.

“I can’t care about that anymore…”

Victor had a premonition that if he did not release this aura of life, Victor’s body might explode and die!

“Suppress!”

Victor took the initiative to accept this aura of life, circulating and venting it in his body.

Though even so, Victor’s body was still on the verge of destruction, constantly shattering and recovering!

Amidst the excruciating pain, Victor broke through!

Ever since he formed his gold core, Victor had very little time to cultivate, and his progress was also very slow.

After all, Victor was different from ordinary body cultivators. Before an increase in his qi and blood power, it would be very difficult for him to make a breakthrough in his cultivation!

Yet this time, the majestic aura of life continuously washed his body, like the essence of life, engraved in his flesh and blood!

His blood boiled more and more vigorously, constantly boiling in their destination!

The pressure on Victor’s heart grew higher and higher, and the sound of his heartbeat filled Victor’s ears. At this moment, the world was quiet, and only his heartbeat could be heard!

This state continued for an entire hour, and this aura of life was finally completely refined by Victor.

The blood ball exploded, and Victor’s eyes were tightly shut as he sat cross-legged on the ground. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.

He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and a ray of blood-red light shot out from his eyes.

“I actually broke through to the intermediate stage of the core formation realm in one go… But, what is my intention?”

Victor slowly stood up. At this moment, he was naked, and his skin was like congealed fat, even paler than a woman’s.

This imposing manner naturally attracted the attention of many people, including Lian Hua and Nalan Lengling who had returned.

When they saw Victor standing in the same spot naked with the Meat Mountain’s corpse behind him, tears flowed like a fountain.

At this moment, it was no longer important whether Victor was dressed or not. Lian Hua and Nalan Lengling flew over and threw themselves into Victor’s arms.

“B*stard… next time, you can’t chase us away…” Lian Hua said in a solemn voice.
