Chapter 153 Breakthrough
The majestic Dao Qi gathered behind the Elder.
In the blink of an eye, Su Chen's Dao techniques became insignificant.
Indeed, in the face of absolute strength.
The type of Dao technique is not important.
Su Chen remained calm, he had already anticipated this scene.
And he made the corresponding preparations.
Suddenly, a brilliant light flashed under Su Chen's feet, and he unexpectedly began meditating within the Eight Formation Diagram.
"What is this kid trying to do?"
"Is he pretending to be weak?"
"Regardless of what he does, the result will be the same. No matter what he does, the result won't change."
The discussions continued, but some of the strong ones among them realized that Su Chen was trying to break through.
According to common sense, this was simply a suicidal method.
Breaking through in the midst of battle was already an extremely risky thing to do.
Not to mention, Su Chen's own strength had a significant gap.
The Elder was slightly stunned, what was this kid up to?
Breaking through as a cultivator above the Primordial Yang Realm was extremely risky. If one was even slightly careless, they would fall into demonic cultivation.
Therefore, when a strong cultivator at the Primordial Yang Realm broke through, there would generally be someone protecting them.
Su Chen breaking through on the battlefield was simply not putting the Elder as an opponent in his eyes.
Su Chen closed his eyes.
He had a reason for doing this.
Previously, Su Chen had already accumulated enough cultivation to break through.
The purpose was to break through while debating with the Elder.
This breakthrough would allow Su Chen to absorb the Elder's Dao techniques. With the Elder's Dao techniques, the speed of his breakthrough would be much faster.
Moreover, Su Chen was certain that the Elder would definitely not attack him during his breakthrough. This was the dignity of a strong cultivator.
Countless spiritual energy rushed towards Su Chen's dantian.
At the same time, the Elder's Dao techniques were continuously being absorbed into Su Chen's body.
In the Spirit Realm, the old man of the Tao Te Ching smiled faintly.
"This kid is quite clever."
The Elder also realized Su Chen's intention.
He smiled faintly.
"This kid is confident that I won't make a move, that's why he made this choice."
Although he saw through Su Chen's intention, the Elder really didn't attack. Instead, he continuously released his own Dao techniques, allowing Su Chen to devour and absorb them. He also wanted to see if Su Chen could truly succeed in his breakthrough.
Discussions arose, and spiritual energy appeared on Su Chen's body.
Then, the quantity and quality of that spiritual energy underwent earth-shaking changes.
Su Chen broke through!
However, the disciples around him were not just surprised by Su Chen's breakthrough, but rather, this time, Su Chen broke through and ascended two levels.
[Congratulations to the host for leveling up. Spiritual roots have been upgraded to Advanced Profound Stage.]
[Host: Su Chen]
[Current cultivation: Primordial Yang Realm Eighth Layer]
[Spiritual roots: Advanced Profound Stage]
...
Directly breaking through two realms at once, this was unheard of before, but Su Chen achieved it, and moreover, it was done in the midst of battle.
Su Chen opened his eyes, radiating with a brilliant light. His entire demeanor had changed.
The Elder chuckled.
"Kid, do you have a sect?"
"I belong to the Veiled Spirit Sect."
The elder furrowed his brow, seemingly unfamiliar with the Veiled Spirit Sect.
Then, he sighed.
"If you didn't have a sect, I would want to take you as my disciple."
Su Chen's unparalleled talent was something no expert would want to let slip by.
Su Chen smiled but did not directly respond.
"Elder, you can now go all out!"
After Su Chen finished speaking, spiritual energy emanated from his body. Then, a spiritual body appeared behind Su Chen.
However, this spiritual body was not an old man, but a giant character for the Dao.
In the next moment!
As Su Chen clasped his hands in front of him, the giant character behind him immediately shimmered with radiance. Countless Dao techniques surged out from all directions, attacking the elder.
The elder's face, full of wrinkles, turned serious. His cultivation at the fifth level of the Soul Formation realm was fully activated at this moment, treating this debate seriously.
Countless Dao techniques converged, creating an incredibly spectacular scene.
Li Zimo watched the competition attentively, his eyes unwavering. While the other disciples hoped to see Su Chen embarrassed, Li Zimo approached it with a learning attitude.
With his pure Dao heart, Li Zimo could tell that although Su Chen had made a breakthrough, he would still lose.
The disparity in strength still existed. If the elder used his full strength at the fifth level of the Soul Formation realm, Su Chen wouldn't stand a chance.
The elder lightly shouted, and his Dao techniques floated over, instantly engulfing Su Chen's Dao techniques.
The giant character behind Su Chen also showed some fluctuations.
Is this the strength of the Soul Formation realm?
Su Chen switched between two types of Dao Law Manifestation, the Eight Trigrams Formation and the Dao De Jing, their Dao techniques permeating the surroundings, attempting to resist the elder's attacks.
The elder smiled indifferently.
"Break!"
Only to see that mighty Dao technique directly break through Su Chen's defensive Dao techniques, causing Su Chen's Dao aura to dissipate.
At the same time, Su Chen's mind was slightly affected.
Su Chen's Dao techniques dispersed.
The outcome of this debate was already clear.
Su Xiaoyu's worries were put to rest. The elder was indeed a senior of the Dao Sect, with a pure temperament.
If the elder had made a move just now, Su Chen would have been directly obliterated.
But the elder didn't move.
"It's over. I knew this kid wouldn't be able to surpass the elder."
"Now he's been proven wrong."
"I told you, one shouldn't be too arrogant."
"Now let's see how this kid will still be arrogant."
However, the elder's expression was not relaxed. He knew it wasn't over yet.
Su Chen retracted his Dao techniques, his gaze fixed on the elder, his eyes determined.
Although Su Chen no longer had Dao techniques on him, the elder still felt a sense of unease.
"Elder, even though I've made a breakthrough, I still can't defeat you. You are indeed strong."
Su Chen spoke slowly.
Then, the giant character behind Su Chen reappeared.
However, this time, there were no Dao techniques on Su Chen's body.
"Now that there are no more Dao techniques, do we still need to fight?"
"I think it's just a debate, no need to go all out."
"I admit this kid's strength."
As discussions arose, Su Chen made a move.
In the eyes of everyone, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.
The entire Dao Hall's scene had transformed.
