Dragon King Hall's Legend

Chapter 1957: Rallying All Qi! Assaulting the Life and Death Realm! Failure and Retry!

"Then I’ll stake it all!"

Although he had finally reached the Peak of Void Breaking Realm, since he could still continue cultivating and there was a chance to break through, how could Mu Jinyu possibly give up just like this?

He planned to go all out in one breath and directly assault the bottleneck of the Life and Death Realm!

Once he reached the Life and Death Realm, his strength would undergo an earth‑shaking transformation.

Cultivators of the Life and Death Realm would no longer be his match; he could cleave them to death with a single slash!

Cultivators of the Creation Realm would only be a bit more troublesome.

If he went a bit more ruthless, it would be like how he could now already cleave Life and Death Realm cultivators to death—he could still forcibly slaughter them!

As for cultivators of the Chrono Light Realm, since that involved the problem of the Time Law, Mu Jinyu felt he still probably wouldn’t be able to blast them to death easily.

But at least he would have some ability to fight back.

He would no longer be like before, when facing the Patriarch of the Yaao Clan, he didn’t even have the ability to counterattack!

Gritting his teeth, Mu Jinyu shut his eyes tight and began frantically operating the Marrow Nourishment Chapter, continuously extracting the mysterious factor nurtured within his bone marrow to raise his strength!!

"Boom!!"

Mu Jinyu launched his first impact against his Life and Death Realm bottleneck!

But he failed in an instant!

It was as if he had been struck by lightning; his entire body cracked open once again, and great sprays of fresh blood burst out in all directions!

"Hm?!"

Standing to the side, Ji Wudao was also enduring tremendous pressure. Seeing Mu Jinyu’s body running with blood, he furrowed his brows, thinking Mu Jinyu was injured from being unable to withstand the gravity, and slightly withdrew some of it.

"Senior, don’t hold back, keep it like before!"

Mu Jinyu sensed something was wrong and hurriedly spoke in a weak voice, telling Ji Wudao not to ease the pressure, otherwise he feared he wouldn’t be able to assault the Life and Death Realm.

"Hm? You were just... failing in an attempt to break through to the Life and Death Realm?"

Hearing Mu Jinyu’s words and the weakness in his tone, Ji Wudao thought for a moment and guessed the reason, his brows knitting as he asked.

"Yeah, but I failed. This is my first time..."

Mu Jinyu gave a bitter smile and spoke with difficulty.

From his earliest Strength Training, to later the Divinity Transformation Realm, Void Refinement Realm, Unity Realm Stage, and even the Void Breaking Realm, he had basically never had any real concept of a bottleneck.

As long as he had reached the point where he could attempt a breakthrough, as soon as he steeled himself and charged, he could directly advance in cultivation!

But now, for the first time, he was stuck at the Peak of Void Breaking Realm, blocked by the terrifying bottleneck of the Life and Death Realm.

Mu Jinyu didn’t know what the reason was.

Was it because his potential had reached its limit and so bottlenecks finally appeared?

Or was it because during his Marrow Nourishing period he had relied multiple times on squeezing the potential of his bone marrow to break through, causing the bottleneck to become hard to break?

Or was it because today he had just broken through two Minor Realms in the Inner Realm, then taken a Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruit to break through another Minor Realm, and then relied on squeezing his bone marrow’s potential to reach the Peak of Void Breaking Realm—breaking through too fast in a single day, leaving his foundation unstable, so he couldn’t blast through the bottleneck?

Mu Jinyu wasn’t very sure what the correct answer was.

Or maybe it was all three?

"So there really is a bottleneck? Don’t get discouraged, the Life and Death Realm truly isn’t easy to break through. The main reason is that you have to comprehend the Life and Death Law and grasp the Life and Death Dual Qi—only then can you break through! Try again..."

Ji Wudao comforted him.

"Hm? Life and Death Law? Grasp the Life and Death Dual Qi?"

Hearing Ji Wudao’s words, Mu Jinyu frowned slightly and said softly, "I previously went once into the Tiangan Secret Realm. Inside I obtained quite a few Life and Death Law Fragments and refined and comprehended quite a bit. Does that work?"

"That won’t work, it’s meaningless, because it’s not something you personally experienced and comprehended!"

Ji Wudao shook his head and said, "You must personally encounter life‑and‑death a few times, and from the great terror of the Realm of Life and Death comprehend your own Life and Death Law—only then can you break through!"

Pausing a moment, Ji Wudao said, "Seeing how young you are, it doesn’t seem like you’ve had many such encounters. How about we call it a day? When you’re more confident, we’ll come again?"

"No!"

Mu Jinyu’s dim gaze suddenly burst forth with brilliant light as he said in a deep voice, "No, I have experienced the great terror of the Realm of Life and Death. Give me a bit more time!"

"Alright!"

Seeing that Mu Jinyu still wanted to persist, Ji Wudao naturally wouldn’t refuse.

The reason he had just made that suggestion wasn’t that he himself couldn’t bear the pressure of this Advanced Gravity Training Room and wanted to persuade Mu Jinyu to leave, but that he felt Mu Jinyu really might be unable to break through, so there was no need for them to keep suffering here.

But since Mu Jinyu still wanted to persist, he would accompany him to the end!

"Thank you!"

Mu Jinyu thanked Ji Wudao, then slowly closed his eyes, murmuring in his heart, "I need to feel it from the great terror of the Realm of Life and Death!"

After that, his mind gradually calmed, and he began quietly recalling the major life‑and‑death crises he had experienced before.

Ji Wudao, thinking he was only about twenty years old yet already had such cultivation, assumed he hadn’t had many such encounters and that his cultivation must have been smooth sailing.

However, was that really the case?

No!

That was utterly wrong!

Mu Jinyu had also gone through several brushes with death, and more than once he had truly been on the verge of losing his life.

The first time, it should have been when he risked his life to save Xiang Mantang and was harmed by the woman pretending to be Xiang Yinxui!

He had almost lost his life.

If not for the subsequent change in the world’s environment and the Jade Pendant his master Mu Shao’ai had left him activating, he really wouldn’t have survived that time!

The second life‑and‑death crisis—setting aside the countless dangers and despair during the dark turmoil—should have been when the Divine Race drove their warship to attack Earth.

He, Mu Shao’ai, and Yin Li fought desperately to resist and slaughter the enemy. In the end, the Divine Dragon Blood in his body was almost drained dry by Yin Li, and he lost consciousness and fell into Xiaolin Village!

That time, he had also nearly died.

If not for the care of Ji Xiaoyun and Elder Ji, he probably wouldn’t have made it!

The third life‑and‑death crisis—setting aside all kinds of crises in the Canglan Realm, where he danced on the edge of life and death—should be the recent fatal strike from the Patriarch of the Yaao Clan, which knocked him directly unconscious. Without Ji Wudao acting in time, he would definitely have died!

This time had given him the most direct feeling of death’s arrival and his own powerlessness!

It was almost incomparable to the previous two life‑and‑death crises!

Silently, Mu Jinyu thought, constantly savoring the flavor of this Realm of Life and Death—there was fear, there was despair, there was cold...

It was truly hard to put into words!

Gradually, Mu Jinyu also sensed a hint of the flavor of the Life and Death Law.

But because his cultivation path was different, he was fundamentally unable to merge with these Life and Death Laws and use them to impact the bottleneck of the Life and Death Realm!

"In that case, how am I supposed to assault the Life and Death Realm?"

Mu Jinyu’s brows knit tightly. Then he opened his eyes and posed this question to Ji Wudao.

Ji Wudao replied, "We cultivate the Humanity Path Cultivation Path, so we can’t merge with the external Life and Death Laws. But we have our own way to break through. The human body is extremely mysterious—carefully sense your own body, comprehend the Life and Death Mood, and you’ll be able to find the Life and Death Dual Qi within you. Once you grasp it, you can break through!"

"Alright, I understand!" Hearing this, Mu Jinyu now knew how to assault the realm. He nodded, then once more closed his eyes and began searching for the Life and Death Dual Qi within his body!
