The moment he took a step, a tremendous surge of vital energy erupted from him.
The Martial Furnace within him roared to life, like an erupting snow mountain.
An ocean of vital energy soared out like an enraged dragon, coiling around Lu Mingyuan's body.
A scorching, intense presence radiated from him, piercing outwards like the rays of a blazing sun.
On the back hill of the bamboo forest, red Gang Qi clashed. Terrifying shockwaves swept out in all directions, snapping a huge swath of green bamboo in half and leaving the area in complete disarray.
'What Fourth Realm? He's suffused with Furnace Qi and has built a Martial Furnace... this is clearly the Fifth Realm, Furnace Building!'
Upon this realization, Huo Hongling immediately raised her own cultivation by another level, to the Fifth Realm, to match Lu Mingyuan.
But she soon discovered something was wrong.
'What's going on? Why can't I still beat him?'
