In The Breaker, the Black Origin Threshold is the highest state of the Black Origin School's art, an enormous surge of power drawn from rage that costs the user any sense of self.

The Black Origin Threshold is the furthest state the Black Origin School's teaching reaches in The Breaker, the purest form of its highest art, and the Murim speaks of it as both the greatest of the Ki circulation techniques and the worst demon art the martial world has produced.

It draws its power from emotion, and from rage above all. Entering it reverses the natural flow of Ki through the body and carries the practitioner past the line between the conscious and the unconscious mind, leaving nothing but pure fighting spirit. The strength that follows is enormous, and so is the price: those who reach the state are swallowed by animal emotion and lose any sense of who they are, unable to tell an ally from an enemy and striking at anyone who comes near. Masters and elders across the Murim covet the technique regardless.
