“How could this be?”

Instantly, Li Shou’s eyes popped out from their eye sockets.

To his surprise, these attacks had done absolutely nothing to Lu Xuan.

He could even see that the s.h.i.+eld of Great Aether faintly appeared around Lu Xuan’s body. Li Shou was shocked to find that Lu Xuan managed to block the attacks with just the s.h.i.+eld of Great Aether.

Naturally, a cultivator would prioritize their safety above all else. Along with defensive power items, inner armor, and the s.h.i.+eld of Great Aether, another very commonly used method was carving a 180 defensive barriers on their own bodies.

Only after breaking through all of these could one attack their real bodies.

The s.h.i.+eld of Great Aether was only a portion of a cultivator’s entire defense system, but it was surprisingly enough to block the deep-sea snapping turtle chief’s attack.

Had he not just fought with the deep-sea snapping turtle chief, he would most likely have believed that its attack was like a wax spear—flashy but completely useless.

However, he knew that the deep-sea snapping turtle chief was born with the ability to control water-attributed magic. Still, this was not a very unusual thing among the monsters in the deep sea.

However, this was the home of these water-attributed monsters. Humans definitely had no advantage here.

The water-attributed magic displayed by these water-attributed monsters had their powers increased by at least 50%. It had given him quite a headache when he fought against the deep-sea snapping turtle chief.

If it wasn’t for his own skills being stronger than the deep-sea snapping turtle chief who just broke through, he would most likely have suffered a big loss on the spot.

Upon seeing that the deep-sea snapping turtle chief’s attack had done no damage to Lu Xuan, he instantly realized the severity of the situation.

Lu Xuan’s power was beyond his imagination. When he was fighting with the deep-sea snapping turtle chief, some extraordinary transformation must have occurred in Lu Xuan.

“When the time comes, ignore everything else and kill Lu Xuan directly to avoid further complications!”

Li Shou thought of how Lu Xuan had led him by the nose during this time. Not a single thing had gone smoothly, and his face instantly darkened.

All of this had been caused by Lu Xuan!

On the opposite side, Lu Xuan, who had just resisted a barrage of water bombs, slowly opened his eyes. With only a sneer on his face, he looked at the deep-sea snapping turtle chief in front of him.

As Lu Xuan stretched out, a series of cracking and popping sounds instantly occurred all over his body. The deep-sea snapping turtle chief’s attack earlier had not posed even the slightest threat to him.

That was because he had also stepped into the Consolidation Realm!

n.o.body thought that anybody could break through into the Consolidation Realm so quickly. Even Li Shou hadn’t guessed that Lu Xuan had already stepped into the Consolidation Realm, only thinking that he had relied on certain abilities to block such an attack.

This speed was too shocking!

However, this was a common occurrence for Lu Xuan. He had the experience from his previous life, and he had already reached the peak and critical point in this life. The only thing missing was an opportunity and sufficient energy.

Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Lu Xuan could make a breakthrough.

After entering the Consolidation Realm, Lu Xuan’s three flowers merged into one and entered directly into his body, merging with him.

Right now, Lu Xuan’s condition had been preserved at its peak.

It was completely different from the previous Three Flower Realm. With Three Flowers at One’s Prominence, only when the three flowers were manifested could one completely mobilize the entire body’s aura, essence, and spirit.

Even without manifesting right now, his condition was also at its peak. It was equivalent to having manifested all the time, and the effect was even more amazing.

The three flowers had completely integrated into his body. The aura, essence, and spirit had combined and transformed into a new kind of energy.

It was mana!

From the initial Spiritual Qi to Spiritual Aether and then to mana, the process of cultivation was not just a process of constantly becoming stronger. It was also a process of transitioning life levels.

During the transition between life levels, the quality of energy that could’ve been used also increased.

At this point, it had been thoroughly reborn.

Under the resistance of the heavens, beings that have stepped into the Consolidation Realm could be considered high-dimensional beings.

The amount of power within mana was even greater than Spiritual Aether. All kinds of unimaginable powers could be displayed with it.

Unless one went to an upper-cla.s.s world, life-forms that could reach this step in medium-cla.s.s worlds were extremely rare.

Consolidation Realm life-forms were rare even in such a powerful medium-cla.s.s world like the Tempest Ocean Realm. Among human beings, there were only the Five Consolidations from the Four Great Hold Lands. Now, there was just Lu Xuan.

Among monsters, as far as Lu Xuan knew, there were many more monsters out there. Compared to the vast number of creatures in the Tempest Ocean Realm, however, they were still pitifully few; they were the cream of the crop.

It was also different from Li Shou and this deep-sea snapping turtle chief. They had only just entered the Consolidation Realm, yet they were regarded as early-stage Consolidation Realm. At this stage, the energy in their bodies still consisted of a large amount of Spiritual Aether. Only when all the Spiritual Aether had been refined and turned into mana would they finally be regarded as having entered the middle stage of the Consolidation Realm. Currently, Lin Ziyi was at the peak of this realm.

Although Li Shou was in the early stage of Consolidation Realm, he had already refined 80% to 90% of the Spiritual Aether in his body. Meanwhile, the deep-sea snapping turtle chief had only just broken through and had only refined 30% to 40% despite its best efforts.

If it didn’t have the advantage of being in a deep-sea environment, it would’ve most likely disadvantaged Li Shou.

Lu Xuan was different; his Spiritual Aether had already been completely refined into mana.

He had actually already crossed into the Consolidation Realm early in the morning, but he hadn’t made a move. Instead, he was refining his Spiritual Aether and turning it into mana.

His Spiritual Aether had been produced as a result of the combination of his born Taoism apt.i.tude and the Taixu Origin Power. The quality of his Spiritual Aether was far superior to the Spiritual Aether refined by others. It was already infinitely similar to mana. The only thing it lacked was a chance.

Additionally, he originally had dozens of times more Spiritual Aether than an ordinary cultivator, which automatically allowed him to directly cross over the early stage of the Consolidation Realm and instantly enter the middle-staged Consolidation Realm.

His fighting power had grown exponentially!

There was completely no way he could be compared to the person and beast before him.

However, neither Li Shou nor the deep-sea snapping turtle chief had realized what kind of terrifying existence they were facing. Li Shou was especially unaware that Lu Xuan’s combat power had already increased by leaps and bounds while he was fighting with the deep-sea snapping turtle chief, nor how far he had grown.

The behemoth he faced, the deep-sea snapping turtle chief, immediately realized its mistake once Lu Xuan opened his eyes. Beasts were far better at perceiving danger than ordinary humans.

It almost immediately realized that the human being in front of it was dangerous, but it didn’t know why.

Still, it had always followed its instincts. It opened its mouth wide and formed a terrifying water bomb that blasted from within its mouth towards Lu Xuan.
