922 Chapter 922 Heavenly Tower (3)
As soon as the old man’s voice faded, a translucent beam of light shot up from the southernmost part of the ‘City of Immortals’, extending all the way towards the sky!
This beam of light was extremely thin and was barely visible from Shun Long’s location, and yet without a doubt it was there. Although Shun Long wasn’t certain about it, if he had to guess, then that light was most likely related to the ‘Heavenly Tower’ that the old man had just mentioned.
For now, though, Shun Long had already put that matter at the back of his mind and was instead focused on his imminent breakthrough. At this point, the energy in his body was practically overflowing after consuming dozens of the golden skeleton’s pills, causing his muscles to brim with power.
With his eyes closed, he allowed the remnant streams of energy inside him to travel through his meridians, before his muscles, bones, tendons, and blood, all greedily absorbed them like a group of voracious beasts!
At this point, Shun Long’s body resembled an insatiable black hole. It didn’t matter how much energy he absorbed, his body would devour it all without fail!
Finally, half a day later, he could faintly feel something inside him break. It was like an invisible barrier had just been shattered, before a tremendous burst of power surged within him.
At that moment, Liu Mei and the others who were standing guard around the mountain all turned their gazes towards Shun Long, only to end up witnessing an unbelievable scene taking place.
Shun Long was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, and yet spatial rifts had already started to appear everywhere around him. The surrounding space had inexplicably started to shatter, thoroughly obliterating everything the spatial rifts touched!
Even the tip of the mountain that Shun Long was standing on was ground to dust mere moments later, unable to handle the destructive power of those rifts.
”This!? Is this really the power of a sixth-stage body refiner? Just how strong did brother Shun get…?” The distant Bai Longtian couldn’t help but mutter in a low voice as he stared at Shun Long’s seated figure in astonishment.
Others may not fully understand the source of his shock, but as a peak sixth-stage body refiner, Bai Longtian was well aware of what this scene in front of him truly meant!
Just the residual power of Shun Long’s breakthrough had caused the space around him to shatter, and had even ended up destroying a big chunk of the mountain he was standing on just now. Then… just how strong would his physical body be if Shun Long actually exerted his full power?
Bai Longtian didn’t know, but he had a feeling that even a horde of peak rank 6 magic beasts may not be able to stop the current Shun Long.
In the central continent, it was common knowledge that Dao King realm cultivators were able to eradicate entire cities from existence with a single powerful strike. Although that was a bit of an exaggeration, reality wasn’t that far off from it either.

As for sixth-stage body refiners, although their physical bodies were much more durable, and their abilities were even more suited towards close combat than qi refiners, they couldn’t quite achieve the same destructive effects in their attacks!
This was the difference between body refiners and qi refiners after all. The first possessed extremely sturdy bodies that were suited for close combat and could regenerate from almost any wounds they received, while the latter could harness the qi around them and could learn countless mystical martial skills, including ones that were capable of razing an entire city to the ground… provided that this city wasn’t protected by any powerful formations of course!

This was the difference between body refiners and qi refiners after all.

However, Bai Longtian had a feeling that the current Shun Long could most likely achieve similar effects and bring down an entire city on his own, using just the might of his physical body… or at least that was the feeling he got after looking at those terrifying space rifts and the scene of mass destruction they had caused.
A few moments later, Shun Long finally opened his eyes and took a deep breath, before he turned his attention towards Liu Mei and the others who were still waiting for him.
Almost at the same time, the half-a-dozen spatial rifts around him all vanished, allowing his surroundings to quickly return back to normal… well, normal if one excluded the half-destroyed mountain range he was standing on that was now on the verge of collapse!
Luckily, there were no magic beasts in the vicinity around them, or a scene of carnage may have very well followed as well.
With a solemn look on his face, Jiang Chen took a step forward and approached Shun Long, before he said with a conflicted look in his eyes
”Every time you breakthrough I feel like I get left further and further behind. No matter how hard I try, I can never seem to catch up in the end! Haa… it’s alright, you can just ignore my rant.” freewebnøvel.com
For the first time since he started cultivating, even a genius like Jiang Chen actually felt inferior to someone else.
On one hand, Jiang Chen truly felt happy in his heart. After all, Shun Long was the person he had decided to follow, and he treated him both as a leader and a friend, so the stronger Shun Long was getting, the happier Jiang Chen got as well.
On the other hand however, Jiang Chen considered Shun Long and Bai Longtian his rivals as well. Naturally, seeing one of them become so unreasonably strong -to the point where Jiang Chen didn’t even feel like he had a chance fighting against right now- was also a bit disheartening.
Of course, it wasn’t that Shun Long was completely unbeatable. But Jiang Chen could instinctively tell, that after his most recent breakthrough, he would only have a fighting chance if he truly went all-out… barring the use of his bloodline power of course… while Shun Long relied solely on the power of his physical body to fight him and didn’t use the slightest bit of his qi! Otherwise, it would just be a one-sided beatdown instead.
With how powerful Shun Long’s ‘Dao of Time’ was, to have such an overwhelmingly strong physique on top of that made him truly a peerless monster! Jiang Chen couldn’t fathom how any other Dao King in the ‘City of Immortals’ could possibly fight Shun Long on equal grounds anymore. What kind of monster would that person have to be?
Ultimately, comparison was truly the thief of joy!
