However, this all-out slash was actually unable to do anything to the scarlet circular crystal. How could Wang Yi not be shocked?

Not only was Wang Yi shocked, but Venerable Ning Jing was also a little dumbfounded. Her red lips parted slightly, and she was speechless for a long time.

She had seen just how terrifying the three-colored heavenly saber was.

However, she did not expect that such a shocking slash would not be able to shatter the scarlet circular crystal.

What should he do? What should he do? What should he do?!

Wang Yi’s forehead was covered in sweat. He was also anxious at this moment. His gaze swept across the surroundings, searching for a chance to break through.

He could not help but be anxious. If he wanted to escape now, with his current strength, no one could stop him.

Even if he was in a different world, he was still very confident that he could survive. He might even be able to live a carefree life in the future.

However, if he could not destroy the World Passage, the supreme experts of this world would definitely organize a powerful martial artist invasion after they descended.

At that time, Cang City would be the first to bear the brunt and become the center of the battlefield. In a moment, millions of living beings would probably be reduced to ashes in this apocalypse.

Wang Yi’s home, family, and wife were in Cang City. These were all things that he could not bear to part with.

If Cang City was reduced to ruins in the war, Wang Yi did not think that he would be very happy to live. He would probably live in guilt and hatred all day long.

Wang Yi frowned. He had a faint premonition that his offensive power had to exceed the Connate Realm before he could shatter the scarlet circular crystal and completely close the World Passage.

Although there was no evidence to prove that his premonition was correct, Wang Yi believed in his own intuition.

A thought suddenly flashed across Wang Yi’s mind in this desperate situation.

He would make a breakthrough to the Connate Realm!

Now that Wang Yi had reached his peak state and his combat strength had reached his current limit, there was no possibility of him improving anymore.

The plan now was to pluck the Connate Phala from the Phala Space and fuse it into his body before the strongest expert of this world descended. Then, he would transcend the restrictions of life and completely break through to the Connate Realm.

However, this method was extremely dangerous. No one knew how long this large-scale breakthrough would last and if he could successfully make a breakthrough before the other party descended.

If he was still in the midst of breaking through when those supreme experts descended, that would really be lively. At that time, he would not even have the chance to escape and would directly be taught a lesson by countless experts.

Wang Yi’s gaze swept across the surging aura that was rapidly approaching the scarlet altar. A ruthless glint flashed across his eyes.

Bloody hell. He would give it his best shot!

There was a saying that wealth came from danger. One could not achieve their goal without paying any price. How could there be such a cheap thing in the world?

Wang Yi was also a decisive person. Since he had already made his decision, there was naturally no reason for him to hesitate.

He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the scarlet altar. Then, his spiritual will instantly sank into the Phala Space.

The Phala Space was boundless. He didn’t know how high or how deep it was. Meanwhile, the four poles had no boundaries.

The scarlet Connate Phala hung high in the sky, scattering billions of terrifying wisps of divine light and illuminating the space scarlet.

Wang Yi’s body trembled slightly, and his physical strength seemed to be inexplicably guided.

The 12 steps, which were completely red and tall, simply appeared in front of him and instantly extended into the sky.

The 12th step of the Heaven Ascension Stage was already on par with the Connate Phala. A crimson flower floated in the air, scattering inexplicable halos.

The enemy could descend at any moment. There was no time for Wang Yi to observe or hesitate. He took a step forward and stepped onto the last step.

Boom!

At this moment, Wang Yi’s body immediately erupted with a dazzling light. The power around him circulated on its own as if it was evolving towards a higher level or as if it was undergoing a transformation that was not for humans.

Wang Yi suddenly realized that as long as he stepped onto the Heaven Ascension Stage, his breakthrough would begin.

He could only advance on this path. He could not retreat!

If he reached the peak, but was unable to complete his evolution and transformation, and unable to pluck the Connate Phala and integrate it into his body, a great horror would descend.

Gathering his thoughts, Wang Yi stopped thinking about anything else and simply walked straight to the top.

One step!

Two steps!

Three steps!

…

The higher he went and the closer he got to the Connate Phala, the more dazzling the light on Wang Yi’s body became. The unpredictable transformation and evolution also came to an end.

By the 11th step, Wang Yi’s physical strength had already increased by 1,100 times.

Furthermore, this 1,100 times increase was based on his strength which had been increased by 99 times after his physical body achieved perfection.

His physical body seemed to have reached a certain limit. He was only one step away from stepping into the ultimate realm and completely changing the essence of life.

With the Connate Realm right in front of him, even Wang Yi couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.

After all, that was a realm that countless martial artists dreamed of. It represented invincible combat strength, a long lifespan, and even more glory and respect.

No one could refuse such temptation, and neither could Wang Yi.

He thought, “Connate Realm, here I come!”

Wang Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart and took a step forward, finally stepping onto the 12th step.

Boom!

Almost instantly, Wang Yi’s physical strength increased by 100 times again, reaching a terrifying increase of 1,200 times.

However, Wang Yi did not care about this. His attention was focused on the scarlet flower and the scarlet Connate Phala by his feet.

With a breakthrough to the Connate Realm right in front of him, Wang Yi naturally would not hesitate. He leaned over and reached out, directly holding the Connate Phala in his palm.

Swoosh!

At this moment, the scarlet flower followed Wang Yi’s actions and floated above his head.

At this moment, an idea flashed across Wang Yi’s mind. He instantly knew that the scarlet flower was actually a physical flower condensed from his physical strength.

Suddenly, Wang Yi was enlightened. He did not choose to fuse the Connate Phala into his body, but placed it directly in the physical flower.

The two seemed to be one, and the Connate Phala was perfectly embedded in the scarlet flower. The Dao Flower nurtured the Phala, and the Phala nurtured the Dao Flower.

Boom!

Just as the two fused, the Phala Space suddenly trembled. Wang Yi’s body also erupted with a dazzling light. His physical strength instantly broke through the shackles and increased by another 1,200 times.

At this moment, Venerable Ning Jing, who was in the outside world, was already dumbfounded. To Wang Yi, a long time had passed, but to her, it was only an instant.

In Venerable Ning Jing’s eyes, Wang Yi had just sat down cross-legged when his body erupted with endless power. The void and space around him distorted.

Meanwhile, in the Phala Space, Wang Yi was also dumbfounded.

The Connate Phala had indeed been plucked, and his combat strength had indeed improved greatly. However, the outcome was not as he had imagined.
