With the infusion of this spiritual energy, the spiritual Qi within Ye Chen’s body had reached a terrifying level, with his meridians flooded with dense, primordial energy.
Veins bulged like coiling dragons across Ye Chen’s face, neck, and arms. It was a harrowing sight—the result of being stretched to the limit by the influx of spiritual energy. His face was flushed a deep, vibrant red. He felt as though his meridians and bones were on the verge of rupturing under the pressure, yet the bottleneck that held him back remained completely unmoved.
Agonizing pain swept through his entire body. Fortunately, Ye Chen possessed immense willpower; he gritted his teeth and endured, but it was futile. The existing spiritual energy was simply unable to breach the blockages in his meridians to reach those as-yet-undeveloped channels. This was the crux of the struggle in breaking through. For any martial artist, every breakthrough is a trial of immense suffering, often teetering on the brink of life and death. Very few are able to break through with ease.
