Temporary breakthroughs during competitions are very common in the Sect Grand Competition, and the great Cultivators who built Jade Dragon Island had already taken this situation into account.
So, seeing Lin Zhaokai about to break through in battle, Wen Xiangjie was immediately temporarily moved off the arena, and at the same time, a faint golden protective barrier rose around the competition grounds.
This protective barrier can confine the range of the tribulation clouds within the competition grounds, serving as protection for both the heavenly prodigies undergoing tribulation and the Cultivators outside the competition grounds.
However, the function of this protective barrier is limited to just that; it is impossible for it to help the competing heavenly prodigies overcome their tribulation.
Lin Zhaokai stood alone in the competition grounds.
He looked up at the gathering tribulation clouds above his head, without any worry on his face, but instead revealed a crazy smile.
Then he looked at Wen Xiangjie, who had been temporarily teleported to the resting area attached to the competition grounds, his eyes filled with hatred and murderous intent.
Once he breaks through to the Leaving Aperture Stage, relying on the ability to kill beyond his level granted by the Chaos Seed.
Wen Xiangjie, today will be your death day!
Lin Zhaokai's sinister gaze made the Little Phoenix very displeased; she stood on Wen Xiangjie's shoulder, continuously chirping and cawing, cursing very foully.
Wen Xiangjie soothingly stroked the feathers of the Little Phoenix squatting on her shoulder.
"It's alright, who said only he can break through? According to the rules of the jianghu, whoever breaks through later is the protagonist," Wen Xiangjie said with a smile.
Although the Little Phoenix didn't quite understand what Wen Xiangjie meant, she knew that Wen Xiangjie wouldn't let the three of them suffer, so she immediately became happy again, rubbing her head against Wen Xiangjie's hand, continuously acting spoiled.
Forcibly breaking through to the Leaving Aperture Stage, although aided by the Chaos Seed and various treasures snatched by unscrupulous means during this period.
However, the treasures Lin Zhaokai could get his hands on were of limited grade, and very few could be effective against the tribulation lightning of the Leaving Aperture Stage.
Therefore, Lin Zhaokai's process of overcoming the tribulation was extremely tragic.
For the first three bolts of tribulation lightning, Lin Zhaokai could still barely use the treasures in his storage belt to block them.
After three bolts of tribulation lightning, Lin Zhaokai found himself in an awkward situation with no treasures left to use, and could only brace himself, using his own flesh to endure.
The fourth bolt of tribulation lightning struck, instantly tearing Lin Zhaokai's skin and flesh, and the Cultivators watching could even hear the crisp sound of bones breaking.
"Ah ah ah!" Lin Zhaokai cried out in pain.
Fortunately, at this moment, streaks of green light flashed from Lin Zhaokai's dantian, the green light wrapped around every injured part of Lin Zhaokai, and new flesh grew wildly under the scorched wounds, forcibly healing them.
"Oh?" A Mahayana Realm mighty figure sitting beside the Spirit Beast Peak Lord exclaimed, "I felt a familiar spiritual energy fluctuation attached to the water prison that kid used earlier, so it was the Chaos Seed."
"Heh, I was wondering where this kid got the nerve to provoke my junior sister; turns out he got lucky and fused the Chaos Seed into his dantian," the Spirit Beast Peak Lord sneered.
"What a pity, Lin Zhaokai's character is lacking," another Mahayana Realm mighty figure shook his head, "If he could calm down and slowly cultivate with the power of the Chaos Seed, he might have ascended smoothly, but he insisted on exploding the Chaos Seed and forcibly breaking through to the Leaving Aperture Stage for a moment's anger, completely cutting off his future path."
"Perhaps he also knows he has no future," the Spirit Beast Peak Lord said with a grim tone.
Before all the wounds on Lin Zhaokai's body were fully healed, the fifth bolt of tribulation lightning fell again.
Each bolt of tribulation lightning inflicted more damage than the last.
Lin Zhaokai's newly healed wounds burst open again, the scorch marks were deep enough to show bone, and the pain from the newly grown tender flesh suffering severe damage was doubled.
Lin Zhaokai's screams were even more shrill than before.
If not for his intense hatred for Wen Xiangjie, Lin Zhaokai himself was unsure if he could withstand this wave of tribulation lightning.
When the last bolt of tribulation lightning fell, Lin Zhaokai was almost unrecognizable as human.
If not for the continuous green light washing over his entire body, Lin Zhaokai would probably have truly died under this last bolt of tribulation lightning.
However, continuously overdrawing the power of the Chaos Seed in this way, coupled with the fact that the Chaos Seed itself had already been detonated by Lin Zhaokai, after barely restoring Lin Zhaokai's body to a human-like state, the power of the Chaos Seed was almost completely exhausted by Lin Zhaokai.
All the Cultivators who recognized the Chaos Seed felt a wave of regret.
What a pity, a Chaos Supreme Treasure like the Chaos Seed actually fell into the hands of such a unappreciative kid; it was truly wasted.
Struggling to climb up from the ground, Lin Zhaokai felt excruciating pain all over his body, but the unprecedented sense of power filling his entire being made his eyes shine astonishingly.
Leaving Aperture Stage!
He was now also a Cultivator of the Leaving Aperture Stage!
The same cultivation level as Wen Xiangjie!
This time, Wen Xiangjie could no longer humiliate him with the difference between a "True Person" and a "True Monarch"!
Lin Zhaokai looked at Wen Xiangjie in the resting area, wanting to see a look of solemnity in her eyes, even a hint.
However, what he saw was Wen Xiangjie holding an ice-cold little drink in her left hand and snacks in her right hand, feeding the Little Phoenix and the Elf Queen.
Upon discovering that Lin Zhaokai had passed the lightning tribulation, Wen Xiangjie merely put the ice-cold little drink and snacks back into her storage ring, then clapped her hands, shaking off the food residue that had fallen into her hands.
She completely disregarded his breakthrough to the Leaving Aperture Stage.
Lin Zhaokai was now completely consumed by madness; his only obsession was to make Wen Xiangjie have no choice but to face him and be defeated by him!
After all, it was the Sect Grand Competition; even though Lin Zhaokai had just finished his Leaving Aperture Stage lightning tribulation and his injuries had not fully healed, according to the competition rules, the match had to continue after his breakthrough was complete, with no time for him to recover from his injuries.
Wen Xiangjie, accompanied by the Little Phoenix and the Elf Queen, returned to the competition grounds.
Without a word, Lin Zhaokai once again condensed a huge water sword and attacked Wen Xiangjie.
The Little Phoenix excitedly opened her mouth again and spat a mouthful of Phoenix Spiritual Fire towards Lin Zhaokai.
The Phoenix in Flames once again met the water sword.
This time, Lin Zhaokai and the Little Phoenix were of the same level, plus his spiritual power contained a trace of the Chaos Seed's power.
Although the Phoenix in Flames still successfully shattered the water sword, at the same time, the Phoenix in Flames's size also shrank by a circle.
After breaking through to the Leaving Aperture Stage, Lin Zhaokai indeed had the strength to fight Wen Xiangjie's… pet phoenix.
And the crucial factor in this was the residual Chaos Power from the Chaos Seed.
If it were an ordinary Cultivator, at the same cultivation realm, they would simply be unable to withstand the Phoenix in Flames's attacks.
But Lin Zhaokai was still not satisfied with this result.
In his imagination, after reaching the Leaving Aperture Stage, with his ability to kill beyond his level, he should have been able to easily defeat Wen Xiangjie!
