The sudden change caught Luo Lie off guard.
The breakthrough that was within reach suddenly took a turn. All the energy within his body, whether flowing through his meridians or fixed in his dantian, drained completely into his left hand through his left arm, bringing with it a faint warmth.
"What's happening?"
Luo Lie was slightly shaken and immediately sat down cross-legged.
Xue Bingning, who was in perfect sync with him, instinctively waved the Divine Master's Brush, dispersing all the dragons gathered around Luo Lie back to their pure power source, retreating far away.
Xue Bingning looked on with confusion, certain that Luo Lie was not breaking through.
At this moment, Luo Lie only felt the heat in his left hand increasing, bringing a slight discomfort and an inexplicable sense of familiarity. As he looked at his left hand, the scene before his eyes shifted, and he once again saw the moment he had crossed over.
The Holy Ancestor's Dreamscape reappeared.
And it was the scene of the Holy Ancestor shattering.
Countless snow-white pellets surged into Luo Lie's body, bringing indescribable pain.
Such pain was unforgettable for Luo Lie, as if his consciousness was awake while his body was torn apart and then reassembled, a pain beyond description.
Precisely because of this, Luo Lie understood that his smooth cultivation of the Celestial Dragon-Elephant Scripture was undoubtedly due to this painful experience, which seemed to have perfectly transformed his body.
Unlike before, when the pain was too overwhelming to see, this time he could clearly observe the scene.
He saw that one-third of the shattered snow-white pellets transformed his body, one-third seemed to merge into his head, and another third actually merged into his left hand.
The transformation of his body allowed him to effortlessly cultivate the Celestial Dragon-Elephant Scripture, which no one else on the Yanhuang Continent could achieve.
As for his head, the specifics were unknown, but it was clear that the memories that naturally emerged when he wanted to cultivate were related to this, perhaps a kind of inheritance, and maybe more memories would emerge in the future.
As for his left hand, it was only now that changes occurred.
The energy of his entire body merged into his left hand, triggering its transformation, which gave Luo Lie even greater expectations.
Could it be some kind of miraculous ability?
The temperature of his left hand grew increasingly high, and the pain intensified, causing the illusion before Luo Lie to vanish, and the piercing pain felt as if his left hand was being torn apart and reassembled.
Amidst the pain, a phrase resurfaced in Luo Lie's mind.
Just like when he had to cultivate the Celestial Dragon-Elephant Scripture, this phrase was abrupt yet directly pointed to the change in his left hand.
The content was... the Left Hand of the Holy Ancestor, capable of nullifying all Divine Master spells! Huh? Luo Lie was startled by this phrase.
He had been a bit frustrated about not being able to become a Divine Master, but in the blink of an eye, he had become a nemesis of Divine Masters, an absolute nemesis, able to nullify all Divine Master spells.
Of course, Luo Lie wasn't foolish enough to think that with his current strength, he could nullify powerful Divine Masters, but since it was stated this way, he should at least be able to nullify the spells of Divine Masters of the same level.

He was in the Body Refining Realm, and the lowest corresponding level for a Divine Master was the Luminous Realm.
So, at Body Refining Level Three, he should have the complete ability to nullify spells from Divine Masters at Luminous Realm Levels Three, Four, or even Five and Six.
As he awoke from the shock, the pain in his left hand had already disappeared.
Luo Lie didn't feel anything unusual about his left hand, but the energy had been depleted.
Moments later, the energy filled his entire body again.
This was the advantage of the Celestial Dragon-Elephant Scripture, with its remarkably fast self-recovery ability.
Luo Lie looked at the scene within the Soaring Dragon Pearl's space.
All along, it was with Xue Bingning's help that he came and went.
The Soaring Dragon Pearl itself had a kind of Divine Master spell setting, difficult to enter without understanding it. However, this setting was mainly to prevent the essence within the Soaring Dragon Pearl from leaking out, not to imprison outsiders.
Luo Lie looked at his left hand, his mind stirred, and energy entered his left hand. With a casual wave.
Swish! A crack appeared in the space, and amidst the flickering light, Luo Lie's vision blurred. When he could see clearly again, he was already standing on the ground, not inside the Soaring Dragon Pearl.
Xue Bingning followed closely behind him.
"How did you do that? Although the Soaring Dragon Pearl doesn't deliberately prohibit entry and exit, forcing entry and exit without a Divine Master spell would surely damage the Soaring Dragon Pearl. But your move just now didn't damage the Soaring Dragon Pearl; it only broke the prohibitive spell."
She was quite shocked.
To know, achieving such a subtle difference wasn't something a Body Refining Realm warrior could do, not even someone in the Yin-Yang Realm.
Luo Lie looked at his left hand and, hearing Xue Bingning say that the prohibitive spell was broken, confirmed that his left hand truly was the Left Hand of the Holy Ancestor, capable of nullifying all Divine Master spells.
"Let's talk inside."
He reached out to grab Xue Bingning's left hand and jumped towards the Soaring Dragon Pearl.
With the prohibitive spell broken, there was no longer any barrier, and they entered the Soaring Dragon Pearl directly.
Xue Bingning stared at him and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Luo Lie extended his left hand, "If I say my left hand can nullify Divine Master spells, would you believe me?"
"I believe!" Xue Bingning hesitated slightly before giving her answer.
This left Luo Lie stunned, "Why?" Not to mention Divine Masters, even warriors would think someone claiming their left hand could nullify Divine Master spells must be crazy.
"No reason."
Xue Bingning said.
Luo Lie felt a warmth in his heart. This "no reason" was essentially the same as "because you are Luo Lie," meaning that Xue Bingning's trust in him was unconditional.
If it were solely because of Luo Lie, Xue Bingning wouldn't be so trusting, but it was also due to the former Young Prince Luo Lie's loyalty to Liu Hongyan, which made Xue Bingning's trust in Luo Lie beyond imagination.
Next, Xue Bingning showed a side that earned Luo Lie's admiration.
As a Divine Master, she actually restrained herself from asking why Luo Lie's left hand could nullify Divine Master spells and continued to focus on assisting Luo Lie in his cultivation.
Her actions moved Luo Lie even more, as Xue Bingning undoubtedly knew this was Luo Lie's secret. She didn't want to dig deeper and used her silence to tell Luo Lie she would keep his secret.
Such a woman was truly flawless in Luo Lie's eyes.
After his excitement subsided, Luo Lie calmed down.
He knew that no matter how powerful the Left Hand of the Holy Ancestor was, it was useless without sufficient martial strength, as it was based on the energy of martial arts.
Naturally, this made him more diligent in his martial cultivation.
The subsequent cultivation proceeded as usual.
Although this breakthrough was influenced by the Left Hand of the Holy Ancestor, it didn't cause much trouble for Tang Long's martial cultivation.
Just one day later, he once again encountered an opportunity for a breakthrough.
Without suspense, the sound of a barrier breaking echoed from within Luo Lie, and he officially completed the breakthrough, stepping into Body Refining Level Four.
