Chapter 1630: Chapter 27: Achieving Proto-Stellar!

Faced with the reality that after several attempts, Jia Yan couldn’t even step through the gate, he laughed bitterly.

Even though the gate was right before him, and he only needed to break through here to enter the stellar level gate, the seemingly close distance left Jia Yan almost in despair.

“Could it be that using too much of Senior Tian Ji’s Blood made the barriers stronger? Otherwise, why is it so difficult to overcome…”

“I’m unwilling, really unwilling. If there was a way, I would even be willing to risk my life to attempt the promotion, but now, I don’t even have that chance…”

Jia Yan knew that the extremely tough barrier before him couldn’t be shattered even if he used all his strength or even self-detonated.

This almost hopeless barrier was like the greatest cosmic joke to him.

Despite countless dangers, and even experiencing a literal rebirth from a forbidden land, seeing the dawn once again, even when he gathered the strength to charge again, he still couldn’t break through the barrier.

It was as if there was an unseen will, mocking and ridiculing him.

Jia Yan smiled bitterly, unaware that previous failures had left a negative impact. His body, due to a prior near-stagnant failure, subconsciously labeled the stellar level gate as ‘unbreakable’.

This was not about mindset, but even a genetic-level matter, making the difficulty of trying again almost the same as that faced by pseudo stellar level powerhouses, or even harder due to lack of experience.

Jia Yan didn’t understand why, he only felt bitterness.

“Enough, I still have one unfamiliar trump card, although I don’t know its effect or whether it will be beneficial or harmful. But if this card is also useless, my breakthrough attempt would still fail, so why not risk it…”

Jia Yan didn’t resist his desperate attempt, thinking that after all he had risked before, there was nothing to fear now.

And the item he had in mind.

Was precisely that other object floating beside Jia Yan, taken together with ‘Reverse Blood’ from a stellar level in a robbery.

The root that seemed like withered wood!

To be honest, Jia Yan hadn’t felt much of a special effect from this root.

Although there was strong instinctual absorption after taking it out, upon reflection, the root’s aura gradually weakened and disappeared completely, becoming almost transparent even when right before his eyes.

Yet it had peculiarities, for despite the numerous powerful energy explosions while he was on this star body attempting breakthroughs, the root seemed unaffected, calmly standing beside Jia Yan.

This scene gave Jia Yan a thread of confidence.

“Whatever, the previous devouring instinct was definitely correct, let’s treat a dead horse as if it’s alive.”

Thinking thus, Jia Yan used his Brainwave Power to pull the root close to his body.

The root was not very large, about five meters long, unsuitable for oral ingestion, so Jia Yan brought it close and covered it entirely with a layer of Condensation Fluid.

As the Condensation Fluid covered the root, there was a sound like frying, echoing from their contact point.

This scene was vaguely reminiscent of hot oil meeting water, with the two seemingly water and fire incompatible, suddenly repelling.

But Jia Yan did not give up, instead allocating some Brainwave Power to rapidly dissolve it.

Simultaneously, he had to control his body from self-detonating and launch another assault on the gate, keeping him quite busy.

Luckily, previously he was always multitasking controlling avatars, so now when he gathered all his Heart and Mind from several avatars to himself, he managed to execute multiple tasks without error.

The dissolving sound continued, and it lasted a whole ten seconds.

The longer it lingered, the more delighted Jia Yan became.

You see, his Condensation Fluid rarely encountered something so hard to devour, making the root’s resistance all the more proof of its extraordinary nature.

“Come on, keep it up!”

Jia Yan’s eyes flashed intensely once more, increasing the Brainwave Power.

After all, it was a dead object, and as Jia Yan further increased the Condensation Fluid’s strength, he heard a faint pop as something on the root’s surface seemed to shatter, then the Condensation Fluid fully spread onto the root’s surface.

At this instant, Jia Yan’s expression seemed to have seen something terrifying, suddenly freezing.

Because on the root, there appeared a hint of a powerhouse’s pressure, and this pressure was not simply ordinary stellar level!

“Beyond stellar, could it be… the Star River!”

Under the astounding waves, Jia Yan’s entire body shuddered.

Fortunately, this pressure seemed ownerless, and although its quality was formidable, its quantity was not as terrifying, being sealed within the Condensation Fluid, undetected by outside beings.

But Jia Yan felt no comfort.

The massive waves, completely blocked by him, meant he alone had to bear this incredibly terrifying pressure!

Jia Yan exclaimed a mouthful of blood, under this wave, like a small boat in a tempest, nearly meeting death.

The formidable momentum still rampaged within him, potentially tearing apart his already exhausted body in the next moment, then returning to the root.

Jia Yan was truly in dire straits, not being able to handle the promotion barrier, now facing an additional terrifying pressure wreaking havoc within.

Suddenly, a jolt ran through Jia Yan’s mind.

“Root’s other effects aside, just this shocking aura I can utilize!”

In this moment, it was as if his mind opened, thinking of a possibility.

Though the possibility was slim, scarcely any hope for things to go his way, Jia Yan had no choice but to try now!

Using this terrifying momentum surging inside him to break through the barrier!

Although Jia Yan knew well that this power didn’t belong to him, and even the so-called barrier might not actually be a barrier, but some chains of his genetic makeup, which external forces might not be able to break.

But at this moment, he no longer cared about such things!

At once, he concentrated all his mind, maneuvering his Brainwave Power.

He almost exhausted his Brainwave Power to lead the way, directing the terrifying momentum from the root straight to the “barrier” he could feel.

Now, it remained to be seen if this barrier recognized the momentum and could help him smash it open.

Just as Jia Yan was full of anticipation, yet almost didn’t believe this momentum could help him…

This terrible momentum, surprisingly without any obstruction, slammed directly against the barrier.

“It can, it actually can!?”

In that instant, Jia Yan was deeply shaken.

Then a surge of ecstasy filled his heart, he no longer cared for any rationale, and in a split second, he made the most correct decision.

That was to summon all the last power his body could muster, and collide fiercely with that momentum toward the Stellar Rank barrier…

With all his might, with all his thoughts, with everything he had, he charged!

Boom boom boom boom!!

In that instant, the Spirit Listening Pavilion Star Body, that had already been earthshaking, shook completely, and countless tall buildings collapsed entirely.

And the volcano underground, at last, erupted uncontrollably, magma mixed with countless rocks surged out, turning the entire land into a sea of fire.

Yet in this sea of fire, Jia Yan remained unmoved.

He was completely immersed in madness.

“Charge, charge, charge!”

The momentum within him seemed to set its sights on the terrifying barrier in front, not caring for Jia Yan’s presence, but focusing wholly on attacking the barrier with full force.

And Jia Yan cooperated wholeheartedly, using all his power to hit the barrier.

However, the Stellar Rank barrier, true to its name, did not shatter in one strike despite the nearly earth-quaking impact.

But even though it didn’t break in one strike, Jia Yan was wildly ecstatic to see that the barrier was already wobbling, even showing tiny cracks upon it.

This discovery drove Jia Yan into further frenzy.

Just when the terrifying momentum was about to dissipate completely due to the collision, Jia Yan gathered his last bit of strength…

Two nearly exhausted forces crashed fiercely upon the Stellar Rank gate.

Finally, before Jia Yan, the incredibly hard gate broke into a crevice like a giant standing between heaven and earth.

Then, the fissure extended from the point of impact, spreading around.

In less than a second, this crevice spread across the entire barrier.

Crack, crack, crack, crack…

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…

Under Jia Yan’s tearful gaze of surprise and joy, this barrier completely collapsed!

At the same time, that terrifying momentum spent the last of its strength and vanished completely.

However, Jia Yan was different; at the moment the barrier finally crumbled, he felt an overwhelming surge of power rushing from the once tightly guarded backside of the barrier, instantly spreading throughout his body.

This was the power gained after breaking through the barrier.

Jia Yan, at this moment, couldn’t help but burst into a thunderous laughter.

It was laughter of delight, or perhaps a laughter of fulfilled wish.

Breaking open the barrier was the greatest danger in advancing to the Stellar Rank. Now he had broken through the barrier, and although he hadn’t entirely reached the Stellar Rank, the dangers ahead were no longer so great.

He had already set a foot into the Stellar realm.

Or perhaps, he was at the Quasi-stellar Level!

Jia Yan laughed, although his body was broken and continuous, endless pain persisted, his laughter couldn’t be stopped.

The laughter seemed to be both laughing and crying; no one knew how much blood and tears Jia Yan had paid to reach this point.

Endless torment, endless effort; today he had finally reached this step!
