Chapter 279 Sikong Zhen Breaks Through to Godhood.
"Withdraw!"
The Abyss Saint King dared not linger for even a moment, burning a large amount of his primordial power once more to tear open the void.
It transformed into a streak of black mist and fled in panic.
He didn't even dare to turn around!
He was terrified of being caught up by that golden divine sword and ending up with his clone disintegrating.
Only after the Abyss Saint King completely disappeared into the void did the God-Slaying Sword slowly float in mid-air.
Sikong Zhen gazed at the God-Slaying Sword, a hint of admiration and gratitude flashing in his eyes. He bowed respectfully in the direction of Beidou Academy.
If the dean hadn't intervened in time, he would surely be dead today.
After this battle, the power within him completely boiled over.
The bottleneck to the Divine Realm shattered instantly under the stimulation of the life-or-death crisis and the golden sword energy!
A vast aura erupted from Sikong Zhen's body.
Purple lightning shot straight into the sky, echoing the celestial canopy.
...
Just then!
A slight spatial fluctuation rippled outwards from Sikong Zhen's side.
Lu Xiao stood in mid-air, his clothes fluttering in the wind.
The God-Slaying Sword transformed into a golden streak of light and flew through the air, landing steadily in his palm.
The sacred golden light on the sword slowly faded, leaving only a faint sharpness.
Sikong Zhen bowed deeply, his tone full of respect and gratitude: "Thank you for your help, Dean. If it weren't for your timely assistance, I would have been seriously injured and unable to recover even if I hadn't died today."
The life-or-death crisis he had just faced was still fresh in his mind. The destructive power of the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd made him truly feel the terror of a super artifact.
They also realized that the dean's sword strike was a true act of saving their lives.
Lu Xiao waved his hand gently, his gaze falling on Sikong Zhen, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Sensing the surging power within Sikong Zhen's body, and the already shattered bottleneck of the Divine Realm, he said calmly.
"No need to thank me. You already possess the strength to touch the divine realm; you just lack a life-or-death ordeal."
"With your current cultivation level, being able to directly confront a god-level clone wielding a super artifact is already quite impressive!"
"If the opponent didn't have the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, you might have been able to defeat him."
His intention in having Sikong Zhen confront the Abyss Saint King was precisely to test him.
Firstly, it was to allow Sikong Zhen to digest the power of the Heavenly Curtain's reward.
Secondly, he wanted to use this god-level battle to help him break through the bottleneck that had been hindering him for many years.
In retrospect, this scheme has ultimately succeeded.
"Rest assured and break through to the next level. I will protect you here."
Lu Xiao's voice was calm, yet it carried a reassuring power.
A pale golden barrier slowly spread out around him, enveloping Sikong Zhen.
It isolated him from all external interference and also protected him from the residual power that might escape during his breakthrough.
Sikong Zhen felt a warmth in his heart and nodded emphatically.
Without saying another word, he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes.
"Boom boom boom!"
The next moment, a surge of powerful purple lightning erupted around him, the crackling lightning tearing through the air and transforming into giant lightning dragons that coiled and roared around him.
The power of thunder and lightning throughout the entire Sunset Forest was drawn in and converged wildly in his direction.
Lightning flashed across half the sky, mingling with the golden light of the heavens above.
As the power of thunder entered his body, Sikong Zhen's soul power began to circulate wildly.
The power within the meridians surged like a rushing river, crashing against the last, already shattered barrier.
"Boom!"
Moments later, a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and the earth exploded from his body.
The barrier that stood between the Limit Douluo and the God Realm was completely shattered by the surging power of thunder!
A vast and powerful divine pressure suddenly emanated from Sikong Zhen, sweeping across the entire Sunset Forest.
The thousands of spirit beasts in the forest trembled at the pressure and prostrated themselves on the ground.
They dared not make the slightest move, only instinctively revering this thunderous divine power.
With divine power coursing through his body, Sikong Zhen's aura became increasingly refined, and the nine soul rings around him shone brightly.
Immediately afterwards, a brand new spirit ring slowly condensed on his martial spirit.
It was a deep, dark, silver-purple soul ring, surrounded by layers of lightning clouds. As the lightning danced around it, it exuded a terrifying divine aura of thunder.
In conjunction with the other spirit rings, they form a divine array of ten spirit rings, creating an even greater aura of power.
"It's a success!"
After a long while, Sikong Zhen slowly withdrew the lightning around him, and his divine pressure quietly receded into his body.
He slowly opened his eyes, a flash of lightning in them.
With a raised hand, a wisp of pure divine lightning pulsed in his palm.
Feeling the surge of power within him, so different from what he had experienced before, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
There is such an insurmountable gap between the Limit Douluo and the God-level realm.
Even though he was at the peak of the Limit Douluo realm before, he was still somewhat inferior to true god-level power.
"Congratulations on successfully breaking through to the true god-level realm."
Lu Xiao's voice rang out at the right moment, with a smile on his face.
"From now on, you shall occupy a place among the god-level powerhouses of Douluo Continent."
Sikong Zhen stood up and bowed to Lu Xiao again, a faint smile on his face.
"This breakthrough was largely thanks to the Dean's guidance, and even more so to the Abyss Saint King's avatar."
"If it weren't for that life-or-death battle, I'm afraid it would have taken me a long time to break through this bottleneck in the Divine Realm."
When the Abyss Saint was mentioned, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice.
"Dean, if I encounter the Abyss Saint's clone again, I will definitely kill it to avenge today's danger and to rid the Beidou Academy of such villains."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao simply waved his hand dismissively, his tone calm.
"There's no need to rush. After this battle, the Abyss Saint King will no longer dare to easily provoke the Big Dipper Academy."
"His Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd clashed head-on with my God-Slaying Sword just now, so it must be severely damaged, its divine weapon grade has dropped, and its power has been greatly reduced. It is nothing to fear."
"Moreover, he is only an avatar, and his original essence is damaged. He would never dare to set foot in Beidou Academy again in the short term."
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden sky above suddenly shone brightly.
It was even more dazzling than when Di Tian and Sikong Zhen were listed.
"Boom boom boom!"
The sky trembled and roared, as if even heaven and earth were trembling for this newly listed person.
The conversation between the two figures came to an abrupt halt as they both looked up at the sky, a hint of anticipation flashing in their eyes.
Countless golden characters slowly solidified on the sky.
The information about the sixth place on the Fortune Ranking suddenly appeared, dazzling the entire sky of the Douluo Continent!
