Breaking Through:Arrival God level

In the outskirts of the City of Atherna, there lay a treacherous forest known to claim the lives of countless cultivators. Venturing into this forest meant certain death for those without sufficient cultivation levels. The forest was divided into three distinct areas, each harboring increasing dangers the deeper one ventured.

On the other side of the forest, a youth named Yuan Ren could be seen sitting cross-legged while a three-meter-tall beast stood guard beside him. Ever since Yuan Ren had eradicated the beasts at the outer area of the Death Forest, he could cultivate in peace without any interruptions. The forest fell into a deathly silence, occasionally broken by distant roars that no longer bothered Yuan Ren.

Taking slow, steady breaths, Yuan Ren performed intricate hand seals with both hands, appearing surprisingly calm as if he were in a deep slumber. To any observer, it would seem as though he were in a state of sleep rather than intense cultivation.

Within the forest, the previously tranquil air suddenly grew heavy as lines of white light gathered from the surroundings, surging continuously into Yuan Ren's body. Sensing the influx of God force, Yuan Ren let out a soft moan as waves of pain emanated from his body. Fortunately, Yuan Ren possessed a physical constitution stronger than that of an ordinary person, allowing him to endure the torture-like process without sustaining significant damage.

Inside his body, the refined God force continued to circulate, enveloping his soul core. Multicolored light was constantly refined into pure God force, causing the energy within Yuan Ren's body to rapidly expand and circulate at speeds comparable to that of light. However, no matter how much God force he refined, there seemed to be an endless flow of white light waiting to replenish it.

As Yuan Ren refined the energy unceasingly, his soul core greedily absorbed the God force, akin to a bottomless hole continuously drawing in energy. The never-ending suction caused Yuan Ren's mouth to twitch, feeling the strain on his soul core.

Suddenly, a voice resounded within Yuan Ren's consciousness, surprising him but quickly regaining his focus. The voice instructed him, "Ding... Absorb more energy, refine it into God force, and circulate it while allowing your soul core to absorb it."

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Ren followed the instructions. He circulated the strands of God force, feeding them to his soul core at an increased speed. His hands performed a myriad of hand seals, accelerating the circulation of God force to an imperceptible level. Then, a flood of God force surged into Yuan Ren's soul core, causing it to glow brightly with satisfaction as it voraciously absorbed the abundant energy.

With his soul core absorbing all the God force, Yuan Ren's body became enveloped in a blinding light. He continued performing hand seals to compress his soul core, the most crucial step in breaking through to the Arrival God Level. Beads of sweat dripped down his face as he faced the most challenging part of the breakthrough.

Most cultivators who attempted to compress their soul cores failed, often resulting in crippling injuries or even death. As Yuan Ren gathered and compressed the circulating God force within his soul core, waves of pain surged throughout his body, causing his mouth to twitch in agony. He attempted to suppress the pain through hand seals but to no avail. Despair loomed over him as the pain intensified with each passing minute.

"F*ck, am I going to fail here?!" Yuan Ren's mind raced with doubt as he struggled to compress his soul core.

Ding... "Do not lose focus. Try circulating the God force slowly, do not rush," the voice advised, bringing a moment of enlightenment to Yuan Ren. He slowly performed the hand seals, gradually circulating the

God force at a more controlled pace.

"1 cycle, 2 cycles, 3 cycles, 4 cycles..."

After an hour, a brilliant light illuminated the surroundings. At the center of the radiance, Yuan Ren floated, resembling a deity descending upon the mortal world. Minutes later, the intense light subsided, and the surroundings returned to their usual calm. Yuan Ren stood there, elated, shouting, "F*CK YEAH! YOUR DADDY, I, YUAN REN, ALMOST DIED! SYSTEM, I LOVE YOU!"

Yuan Ren laughed maniacally, his shouts echoing through the forest. To any onlookers, he would have appeared mad.

Looking at the beast beside him, Yuan Ren caressed its fur and asked, "Are you ready?"

The beast nodded in understanding, its gaze fixed upon Yuan Ren.

Yuan Ren seemed joyful as he hummed and sang while petting the beast's fur. However, his expression suddenly changed as a wave of excruciating pain assaulted his head.

"Arrggh!" He rolled to the ground, clutching his head and screaming in agony. The beast hurriedly approached him, growling in concern for its master's well-being.

Overwhelmed by the unbearable pain, Yuan Ren fainted. As he lost consciousness, a stream of white light flowed through his body, enveloping him as he floated.

When Yuan Ren regained awareness, he found himself in a place adorned with lush green grass and vibrant, colorful flowers.

"F*ck, am I dead?" Yuan Ren muttered, curiosity piquing as he walked around, taking in his unfamiliar surroundings.

After walking for a while, Yuan Ren discovered a nearby hut. He approached it quickly but remained on guard, suspecting that the hunchbacked, bald old man who answered the door might be a formidable expert surpassing his own strength.
