Chapter 227: Chapter 159: Fifth Level of the Thousand Flames Art, Time to Trade with the Military (5000)
[After getting the jade fragment and the cultivation technique, you quickly located the ancient tomb’s ruins.]
[But just like last time, you did not recklessly charge into the ancient tomb’s ruins.]
[Instead, you decided to settle down within the Immortal Martial Era Instance.]
[On regular days, you continued to collect spiritual liquid, preparing for your next breakthrough simulation. At the same time, you didn’t neglect your cultivation, deepening your understanding of Origin Force and the Thousand Flames Art.]
[In the twenty-first year, your quantity of spiritual liquid broke through to one million three hundred thousand drops.]
[In the same year, your divine sense detected a familiar presence.]
[You quickly locked onto your target. Although the person disguised themselves and concealed their breath, with the divine sense imprints of the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique, you confirmed it was the Damned Zong!]
[You decisively launched a sneak attack on the Damned Zong. As expected, he had pre-emptively sensed the danger.]
[You engaged in an intense battle, with the ground tilting and the mountains shattering.]
[You and the Damned Zong fought for over a hundred rounds. The Damned Zong was firmly suppressed by you.]
[He was shocked at your strength and, realizing he couldn’t defeat you, prepared to flee.]
[Since you didn’t have the talent “Even something small can be cute,” no matter how you mocked, the Damned Zong desperately tried to escape.]
[But your mastery of Origin Force had reached the third external release level, making your strength far more formidable than before.]
[Even though the Damned Zong’s escape techniques far surpassed yours, you still managed to kill him after a half-month chase.]
[You killed the Damned Zong without hesitation, destroying his primordial spirit.]
[The Damned Zong destroyed his storage magical artifacts before dying, leaving you with nothing.]
[You weren’t particularly disappointed by this. Chasing and killing the Damned Zong was partly for revenge and partly to gauge your strength level.]
[Indeed, after Origin Force could be externally released, your strength greatly increased, making it easy to kill the Damned Zong, though escape techniques were still your weakness.]
Su Xing nodded slightly, inwardly acknowledging.
“Indeed, although I am now a Divinity Transformation cultivator, my proficiency in escape techniques is still quite lacking…”
Ordinary Divinity Transformation Great Perfection cultivators, if they mastered a decent escape technique, would have no problem traveling twenty thousand li a day even without dense spiritual power.
Though Su Xing could also achieve aerial flight, it relied purely on his ample internal spiritual power. While his speed was not slow, he could only travel ten thousand li a day.
However, Su Xing’s spiritual power was not infinite, requiring rest after long periods of travel using spiritual power.
As for Body Refinement Cultivation Level… though Su Xing reached the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm, his physical body was strong.
However, body cultivation arts and techniques never excelled in flight.
If Su Xing relied solely on his Divine Strength Realm cultivation level to travel, he would have to run on two legs, incomparable to others’ flying speed.
However, after reaching the Broken Void Realm, body cultivators could levitate solely with their physical bodies, achieving flight without relying on spiritual power, significantly increasing their escape speed.
“From this perspective… it’s time to learn an escape technique.”
Su Xing stroked his chin thoughtfully.
“The Damned Zong’s divine skill, Shrinking the Earth to an Inch, is quite a decent minor divine skill… More advanced escape techniques include Crossing Space and even the Art of Transformation into Rainbow…”
Whether for escaping or pursuing enemies, escape techniques were not to be underestimated.
Su Xing secretly included learning an escape technique into his plans and then looked at the simulation panel.
[After killing the Damned Zong, you resumed your cultivation and collecting spiritual liquid according to plan.]
[In the twenty-second year, you collected another sixty thousand drops of spiritual liquid.]
[However, the breakthrough to the late stage of Divinity Transformation Realm troubled you immensely, as it felt almost impossible.]
[Despite your diligent daily cultivation, absorbing spiritual energy felt like a drop in the ocean, slowly accumulating.]
[In the twenty-third year, the quantity of your collected spiritual liquid reached one million four hundred thirty thousand drops, close to your goal.]
[In the twenty-fourth year, you finally reached your goal of accumulating one million five hundred thousand drops of spiritual liquid.]
[You evenly distributed the one million five hundred thousand drops of spiritual liquid into one hundred fifty small jade bottles, feeling very satisfied.]
[At the beginning of the twenty-fifth year, your cultivation level remained stuck at the eighth tier of Divinity Transformation Stage, though you were close to the ninth tier.]
[Knowing time was running out, you decided to explore the ancient tomb’s ruins one more time before the end of the world arrived!]
[You arrived at the familiar mountain and shattered the giant rock protected by a formation.]
[You entered the ancient tomb’s ruins.]
[The arrangements within the ancient tomb were the same as in your previous simulation.]
[You passed through the narrow passageway and soon encountered the Living Dead Puppet, comparable to the Broken Void Realm.]
[The Living Dead Puppet launched an unhesitating attack on you.]
[You quickly responded, swiftly activating Origin Force, forming an invisible Origin Force armor on your body.]
[Holding the Ink Ice Spirit Sword, with Origin Force entwined around it, you retaliated against the Living Dead Puppet.]
[The battle was imminent, with explosive sounds reverberating, and the strong destructive force caused the protective formation on the stone walls to pulse continuously.]
[You and the Living Dead Puppet fiercely battled for hundreds of rounds. The extreme destructiveness of your Origin Force successfully damaged the Living Dead Puppet.]
[However, the puppet had neither pain nor blood, with black fluid flowing from the wounds you left on it.]
[The wounds began to eerily regenerate, and the Living Dead Puppet’s offensive never diminished.]
[You persisted for over another hundred rounds until you finally felt your internal Origin Force depleting.]
[This puppet surpassed you in body strength, regeneration, and even endurance.]
