I can push my cultivation progress to the end

After thoroughly understanding the "Heavenly Demon Fist Sutra of Doubt," Li Hai unhesitatingly advanced it from the zeroth level to the tenth level, reaching maximum proficiency in one go.

Subsequently, in the instant he completed the cultivation of this technique,

his entire body, from head to toe, inside and out, in every aspect and part, underwent layers of astonishing transformation, leaping almost without any process to a brand new realm.

The resulting enhancements in physical strength, muscular power, vitality, and so on, were so drastic that they were beyond description, essentially exploding by a huge margin in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, Li Hai's martial will, which was originally ethereal and only resided within his mind,

instantly solidified, 'liquefied,' and converged to the point of becoming almost tangible, so tangible that it could manifest in the external reality, affecting ordinary people's five senses.

Therefore, from now on, even just his gaze, a movement, or even his silhouette would inflict a terrifying impact on those of lower realms, almost destroying their souls.

It could easily cause people's thoughts to become chaotic and create hallucinations, and in severe cases, it could even allow them to experience real burning, freezing, and hacking.

And the most important transformation and sublimation of true energy occurred simultaneously with all the above changes and was completed in sync, finally leaping from the realm of formlessness to the realm of form with substance.

Thus, Li Hai instantly advanced to become a Grandmaster of Illusion and Reality.

However, the changes reflected on his personal interface were only that the words after Orthodox Martial Arts → changed from "Army Averter" to "Grandmaster of Illusion and Reality."

And the trait entries for Strengthening Soul, Finger Claws, Iron Body, Stone Heart, Focusing Mind, Brute Strength, and Skill increased from level 3 to level 4.

Overall, the change was not significant.

In this regard, it can only be said that the gap between trait levels is too large, so large that even increasing the level by just one is like the difference between heaven and earth.

"It is done."

Li Hai slowly opened his eyes, and the divine light in his eyes flashed brightly for a moment before returning to calm.

And if any ordinary person below the Grandmaster realm, or even a Steel-grade or Army-grade martial artist, were present and saw this fleeting gaze, they would be dazed and stand there for a long time.

If Li Hai harbored malice, they would even fall into a hell of knives and flames and die miserably.

But this effect was only a slight overflow of Li Hai's powerful martial will, and only the most insignificant part of his various terrifying abilities as a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Only Li Hai, who truly stood in this realm, knew that the most important power of a Grandmaster of Illusion and Reality was not the martial will manifested in the world, nor the so-called powerful physique, nor the terrifying strength that started at tens of millions of pounds.

But rather… the ability to strike enemies from a distance of thousands of feet with energy projection.

It can be said that a Grandmaster of Illusion and Reality with this terrifying ability, even if severely injured and dying, with his physical strength and energy greatly reduced, could still instantly kill a large group of Army-grade martial artists who attacked him.

As for why Grandmasters have such great dominance over those of lower realms, it is because no matter how great their power or how strong their defense is,

as long as their brains and internal organs cannot withstand the sudden burst of tens of millions of pounds of force,

"Energy projection…"

Li Hai slowly raised his hand and spread his fingers, the divine light in his eyes flickering slightly.

In fact, after formally advancing to the realm of Grandmaster of Illusion and Reality, his mental power suddenly broke through the limitations of the five senses and could smoothly sweep and inspect in all directions.

Therefore, this vast underground palace, which has more than ten floors, each with an area of hundreds of feet, was as clear as the lines on his palm to Li Hai.

"Old Ghost Lang, I know you've been watching me, wanting to see me with no way out, completely despairing, haha, what a pity."

He raised his head and chuckled, "It's a pity that one of your words reminded me, letting me know that as long as I use the Grandmaster of Illusion and Reality's ability to project energy from the outside, I can easily break this formation.

So now, take a look, see if what I'm using… is energy projection."

With that, he suddenly clenched his five fingers into a fist.

Boom!

It was as if an invisible giant hand had descended from the sky, piercing through the earth, grabbing the hundred-foot secret chamber where Li Hai was, and then suddenly pulling it upwards, towards the ground, which was an unknown number of feet away, and 'ascended' all the way rapidly.

As for the countless red lines that tightly wrapped around the four sides of the secret chamber, they all broke and disappeared in the first instant.

And during the entire process of this secret chamber 'running' towards the surface, all the underground palace layers above it were as if they had been frantically chopped and smashed by thousands of large hammers and axe blades at the same time, collapsing, disintegrating, and turning into debris before the secret chamber came up, creating a neat and long straight tunnel out of thin air.

Then, when it penetrated the entire structure of the underground palace and faced the layers of solid rock above, this secret chamber was like an invisible drill, directly and forcefully drilling and blasting through large chunks of countless rocks and soil from bottom to top, finally flying out of the ground completely and reaching above the surface.

"How is this possible?! This is impossible!"

In the vast wasteland of the Wolf Den ruins, surrounded by a full twelve Blade Spirits and nearly a hundred Law Puppets, Lang Yunsheng, dressed in white robes, white armor, white hair, and a white beard, looked up at the gray rock secret chamber that flew out of the ground and reached a hundred feet into the air, his trembling face filled with disbelief, incredulity, and terror, he stared and roared with a distorted voice:

"You, Li Hai, you… how could you suddenly advance to the Grandmaster realm?! This, this… this is impossible!"

While roaring in shock, Lang Yunsheng wildly waved his arms and formed hand seals repeatedly, finally gritting his teeth and whispering:

"Moon Chasing Soul Shock, Escape!"

Whoosh—

In an instant, his entire person suddenly became dim, his figure flattened, narrowed into a wisp of thin crescent-shaped ghostly shadow, and suddenly and silently fled away in a hurry.

His escape speed was extremely fast, and he traversed most of the Wolf Den in the blink of an eye.

But just as Lang Yunsheng was about to escape from the stronghold and flee into the distance, Li Hai's voice suddenly appeared all around him:

"What an amazing escape technique, hey, weren't you just saying you wanted to chat with me, why are you running now?"
