Systemless Villain-Chapter 33: Extraordinary Breakthrough

The figure of a dark shadow carried Long Tian. Its face and body were not visible, shrouded only by an eerie abyss of blackness. Two terrifying horns and a sinister grin plastered on its face sent chills down one's spine.

"What a fine young man. Good talent and what is this? A starry Dantian? Finally, after 10,000 years!" Its voice reverberated, a horrific echo accompanying it.

It reached into Long Tian's chest, passing through him as though he were merely a shadow.

"Ohh, I can feel it. Extraordinary talent, he is destined to be one of the strongest in the future. But alas, your future is now mine," it grinned.

With that, it slowly evaporated into a mirage, entering Long Tian's ears and nostrils.

Meanwhile, the jade pendant held by Ling Han glowed, and Shen Yulan emerged from it, entering the devil's chasm in pursuit of Long Tian.

"What? What is that?!" Long Shan exclaimed in shock.

An odd female figure emerged from the pendant. It seemed ghostlike.

"Stay calm, she is an ally. She might help young master Long," Ling Han reassured him.

"Is that so? Well, that's a relief," Long Shan nodded.

***********

Meanwhile, the figure of the dark shadow had fully entered Long Tian's body. But at this moment, Shen Yulan had arrived, intending to stop it.

As she prepared to use her mental power, she halted as Long Tian's eyes opened, his pupils turning a sinister blackish-red.

Shen Yulan chose to observe the unfolding events.

In front of her, Long Tian stood, examining his own body; he looked as if he had awoken after a thousand-year slumber.

"I feel... alive!" He exclaimed, stretching his arms wide.

The next moment, a dense dark Reiki, emanating from the depth of the abyss, flowed into his body.

Along with it, his spiritual energy surged rapidly.

A dazzling light shot up, reaching the mouth of the abyss. Ling Han, Long Shan, and Mo Yuegang could see it.

"Ling Han, isn't this... the sign of someone breaking through their Cultivation Realm?" Long Shan questioned, his voice filled with surprise.

"You're right, young master must be making a breakthrough," Ling Han confirmed, said earnestly.

Somehow, he felt a sense of relief and happiness. He had damaged Long Tian's Dantian the day before, and even though Long Tian had reassured him that his cultivation base could be recovered, he remained deeply concerned.

But now, everything was proven; Long Tian's cultivation base was soaring.

And at this moment, the dazzling light surged again, this time brighter and more potent.

"That must be the Qi foundation realm. The last time I checked, young master Long was at the peak level, he should be breaking out," Long Shan noted.

But shortly after, the dazzling light surged again, this time with even greater intensity.

That surge of light... it was a sign of someone breaking through to the Flowing Qi realm!

"He's broken through to the Flowing Qi realm!" Ling Han announced, his voice tinged with jubilation.

"Hahaha, marvelous. The Long family is indeed blessed!" Long Shan also expressed his joy.

While they both celebrated Long Tian's achievements, Mo Yuegang remained unfazed.

The legend said that the abyss contained vast amounts of Reiki, and if its seal were to be opened, the Reiki would spread throughout the sect's area, undoubtedly bestowing blessings.

But if Long Tian absorbed it all, it was clearly not a good thing.

The three of them remained there, waiting for Long Tian to return.

But not long after, the surge of dazzling light occurred again, this time golden in hue.

Everyone fell silent, the atmosphere instantly turning quiet. That light, it was the sign of someone breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm!

"Young master Long, has he broken through to the Nascent Soul realm?" Ling Han stuttered, disbelief tinging his voice.

Long Shan's face was also filled with disbelief and surprise, "Eighteen years old and reaching the Nascent Soul realm... I can't believe it."

Mo Yuegang was equally stunned. Unexpectedly, Long Tian had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. Even he took 40 years to reach the Nascent Soul realm, and now his age exceeded 200 years.

Despite absorbing pure demon blood, Long Tian was able to absorb such vast amounts of Reiki in a short span of time. Rapidly reaching the Nascent Soul realm was undeniably attributable to his extraordinary talent.

He suddenly felt a mixture of fear and excitement. Not too long ago, he had nearly harmed Long Tian, and he was unsure if Long Tian held a grudge.

Provoking Long Tian was clearly unwise. With his talent, he would undoubtedly become a key figure and a powerful presence in the future. Moreover, he would certainly be greatly protected by all members of the Long family.

But on the other hand, Long Tian had demon blood coursing through his veins, and it was linked to the Heavenly Demon Sect. Long Tian would undoubtedly need assistance with his demon blood, and he, Mo Yuegang, would inevitably be involved.

From this point forward, he resolved to work hard to forge a good relationship with Long Tian.

At this moment, he looked towards the Demon Abyss and could still sense the presence of Reiki. If Long Tian could break through another realm, he would truly be at a loss for words. The world would be shaken.

************

Meanwhile, Ning Yuan and Qin Chen had arrived at the gates of the Wudang Sect.

Qin Chen didn't have any contacts or phone numbers for Han Yuan. Coming here might be a bit risky, but it was worth a shot.

They both stepped out of the car and were immediately stopped by two guards.

"You two can't enter," one of the guards stated firmly.

"We wish to see Han Yuan, one of the elders of the Wudang Sect," Ning Yuan responded.

"Elder Han? Do you have an appointment? Elder Han usually provides a letter to arrange meetings, do you have it?" The guard inquired.

"I don't have it. After all, I am Ning Yuan, a member of the Ning family. Besides, Qin Chen..." Ning Yuan's voice trailed off as she looked back. Qin Chen was suddenly clutching his chest and appeared to be in pain.

She quickly helped him stand.

"Qin Chen, are you okay?" She asked worriedly.

"My heart! It feels like it's going to explode!" Qin Chen managed to utter amidst his agony.

Ning Yuan's hands failed to support him, and he fell to the ground, writhing in pain from his heart.

This sensation was akin to the one he experienced when he was struck by lightning. However, this time, it centered around his heart.

Ning Yuan became very concerned. She didn't know what was happening to Qin Chen, but she could guess that it might be because of his wounded Dantian.

She quickly glared at the guards and yelled, "You, call Elder Han, this is urgent!"

The guards still seemed hesitant about whether to call Elder Han or not. Suddenly, a figure dressed in white descended from the sky.

Both guards immediately bowed in respect, "Master Shi."

It was Shi Huang.

"Take him inside," Shi Huang instructed.

Without any further hesitation, the two guards carried Qin Chen into the sect.
