Breaking Through the Fusion Realm

After comforting Xu Siya, Qin Hao prepared to begin his breakthrough. Once his cultivation advanced to the Body Integration Realm, his Mortal Tribulation would finally be complete.

Qin Hao closed his eyes, and the long-dormant power within him began to awaken. The spiritual energy in his body, like a bursting dam, madly crashed against the final bottleneck.

A golden pattern lit up between his eyebrows, a sign of the awakening of his Innate Dao Body. Immediately after, he opened his eyes. His pupils split into two; one eye saw through the past and future, while the other perceived the origin of all things.

His heart began to beat, every thump echoing like heavenly drums and thunder. The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart amplified his perception several times over.

The reincarnation power of the Nine Reincarnations Supreme Body flowed through his bones, causing them to crackle. His blood boiled as the Nirvana Divine Fire burned within his veins, and the immortal will of the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body merged into every cell.

In his dantian, the energies of Yin and Yang intertwined into a Taiji diagram. The Yin-Yang Divine Body perfectly fused all opposing forces in the world.

The world changed colors. Above Northern Profound City, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. These were not ordinary clouds, but clouds formed entirely of spiritual energy.

Worldly spiritual energy, dense to the extreme, gathered into clouds that covered the sky for tens of thousands of miles. Lightning flashed within the clouds, but this was no tribulation lightning; it was as if the heavens and the earth were cheering for the birth of a supreme existence.

Break!

Qin Hao shouted softly as his body slowly rose into the air. The moment his feet left the ground, the riverbank beneath him cracked. It was not crushed by his footsteps, but rather it could not withstand the aura radiating from his body.

So powerful! Xu Siya looked up, staring blankly at Qin Hao. She had seen many cultivators break through, but she had never witnessed a scene like this. When others underwent tribulations, it was the heavens and earth testing the cultivator.

However, Qin Hao's breakthrough gave her the illusion that the heavens and earth were making way for him.

Qin Hao raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and grabbed fiercely. In the next second, the spiritual energy clouds within tens of thousands of miles vibrated simultaneously. Countless pillars of spiritual light cascaded from the clouds, converging onto his body.

Opening his arms, Qin Hao allowed the countless pillars of spiritual light to pour into his body. As the spiritual energy entered, his aura continuously climbed. With him at the center, the entire Northern Profound City was enveloped in a massive spiritual energy vortex.

Witnessing this, Xu Siya's mind trembled.

Is this really a breakthrough? Why does it feel like the heavens and earth are crowning him?

Suddenly, the spiritual energy vortex contracted violently. All the spiritual energy, all the light, and all the pressure retracted into Qin Hao's body in an instant.

The world fell dead silent. Qin Hao hovered in midair, motionless. No aura leaked from him; he looked just like an ordinary mortal. However, anyone who had personally witnessed his breakthrough knew deeply that this was not ordinariness, but a return to the natural state.

After a good while, Qin Hao slowly opened his eyes. They were as calm as a deep pool of water. The dual pupils had been hidden away, and his eyes now looked like a pair of ordinary eyes.

Yet, the moment Xu Siya met his gaze, she felt as if her soul had been touched by something. It was not a prying gaze or an oppressive force, but simply a feeling that in front of Qin Hao, no secret could be hidden and any disguise would be seen through.

Did you break through? Xu Siya asked cautiously.

Qin Hao glanced at her and nodded with a smile. That is right, the Body Integration Realm. Only upon reaching the Body Integration Realm can one truly be called an immortal cultivator.

The biggest difference between the Body Integration Realm and the Void Refinement Realm was that at this stage, one could wield the power of laws.

Qin Hao looked up toward the distant horizon. There was a mountain about thirty miles away from him, a thousand zhang tall and spanning a hundred miles in circumference.

He raised his fist. Without using any spiritual energy, he threw an ordinary punch, simply attaching the Law of Force to it.

As the punch was thrown, there was no gust of wind, no flash of light, and no flashy visual effects. Xu Siya did not even sense any fluctuation of power; she merely saw Qin Hao pull his fist back.

Then, in the next second, that bluestone mountain thirty miles away vanished.

It did not collapse or shatter; it simply disappeared.

What... what kind of method is this? Xu Siya's eyes widened. She stared at Qin Hao, her eyes full of disbelief.

Qin Hao retracted his fist and looked down at his hand as if confirming something, then replied, The Law of Force.

The Law of Force? The Law of Force can do something like this? You just erased an entire mountain.

Qin Hao reached out and lightly flicked Xu Siya's forehead. My punch just now was not aimed at the mountain's physical body. Have you ever wondered why a mountain can stand there?

Xu Siya was stunned by the question. Why can it stand there? Because it is a mountain.

Hearing this, Qin Hao chuckled. Haha, that is incorrect. A mountain can stand there because there are countless forces maintaining it—gravity, the supporting force of the earth, and the intermolecular forces between the rock molecules.

All these forces reach an equilibrium, allowing the mountain to stand firmly. My punch, imbued with the Law of Force, was aimed at these interacting forces.

By breaking the balance of these forces, they instantly dissipated. Visually, it looks as if it suddenly disappeared, but in reality, they are still there.

Xu Siya nodded, half-understanding. Qin Hao smiled gently. It is fine if you do not understand. I will teach you slowly in the future.

Xu Siya fully understood this sentence. She smiled softly, stepping forward to wrap her arms around his. Okay.

Compared to Xu Siya's partial understanding, a stormy sea was raging in the heart of Qin Zhongtian, who was not far away.

Qin Zhongtian had never heard of intermolecular forces, but he knew that matter was composed of various minute, microscopic substances that could not be captured by the naked eye.

Only after becoming an Immortal did he sense that microscopic world for the first time. It was only after reaching the Golden Immortal realm that he had the sudden inspiration of whether he could manipulate this microscopic world.

Yet Qin Hao, at the Body Integration Realm, had already achieved what he could only do at the Golden Immortal realm.

Qin Zhongtian revealed a bitter smile. Comparing oneself to others is truly maddening. Especially when comparing oneself to a monster like Little Uncle. He has made me realize just how worthless hard work is in the face of true talent.

Thank goodness he belongs to our Qin family. If such a monster belonged to a hostile faction, I would not even dare to imagine...

Just picturing what would happen if Qin Hao were an enemy made Qin Zhongtian shudder involuntarily.

He took one last look at Qin Hao's back, and then his entire being merged into the void.

Qin Hao, who was busy flirting, was completely unaware that his own backyard was currently on fire—and it was not the kind of fire that ordinary water could extinguish.
