Chapter 109 – Su Xing Explodes, the Giant Beast Gets Diarrhea
by spirapira【You tried consuming Demon King Blood Essence again, but helplessly discovered that after raising your cultivation to Primordial Martial Realm, Grand Perfection, the Demon Emperor’s blood essence provided even more negligible improvements.】
【Left with no choice, you requested Luo Shuying and the general guarding Demon-Sealing Pass to bring you some Demon Emperor Blood Essence.】
【Year seventeen, Luo Shuying once again brought you two hundred jin of Demon Emperor Blood Essence.】
【When she handed you the blood essence, her complexion was somewhat pale, as if she had been seriously injured.】
【You hurriedly asked about her injuries—how she was, and why she was hurt—but she merely smiled lightly and shook her head, forcing herself to leave.】
【Afterward, you learned from Lu Yuanwu that in order to obtain Demon Emperor-grade blood essence for you, Luo Shuying had personally charged into the demon army, slaying two Demon Emperors with her own hands. However, she had also been besieged by two Legendary-stage demon creatures and barely escaped, sustaining severe injuries.】
Su Xing felt somewhat moved reading this.
Killing a Demon Emperor was no easy feat, even for a Legendary-stage powerhouse.
Because demon beasts possessed far greater vitality than the human race. A Legendary-stage powerhouse could perhaps easily slay a Martial Emperor, but directly one-shotting a hundred-meter-tall Demon Emperor was extremely difficult. After all, these things were massive in size and brimming with life force—like a damn Godzilla.
Moreover, on the battlefield, a Demon Emperor wouldn’t necessarily act alone.
Trying to kill a Demon Emperor amidst an army of tens of thousands of demon beasts and then retreating unscathed was truly no simple matter. Even a Legendary-stage powerhouse could fall if they weren’t careful.
Yet Luo Shuying had been willing to risk her life for him.
Su Xing sighed and turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.
【Afterward, wanting to help Luo Shuying recover from her injuries as quickly as possible, you refined a considerable number of Healing Pills.】
【But for a Legendary-stage powerhouse, Healing Pills were virtually useless. Even supreme-grade Healing Pills could only be effective on Grandmaster-stage powerhouses and could barely treat Heavenly King-stage ones.】
【So you dug out the Separation Fire Alchemy Art again and found within it a healing elixir called the Bone Regeneration Pill. This pill was reputed to regrow broken bones and was effective even on Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation cultivators.】
【But you knew the Bone Regeneration Pill’s effect on Legendary-stage powerhouses would be limited at best and certainly not instantaneous. So you searched further and found the pinnacle among mid-grade pills—the Rejuvenation Pill. This pill could even heal injuries sustained by Void Return stage cultivators, and might produce remarkable effects for Luo Shuying.】
【Unfortunately, the primary ingredient of the Rejuvenation Pill, Dragon-Pattern Grass, was extremely hard to find, so you could only set it aside for now. On the other hand, the three ingredients for the Bone Regeneration Pill—Silver Moon Flower, century-old fleeceflower root, and Perseverance Grass—could all be found in the Advent Cult’s treasury.】
Su Xing frowned slightly at this. Healing Pills were indeed unranked recovery elixirs, but they were simple to refine with easily obtainable ingredients, and they worked quite well for the vast majority of Class Users (Gold and Master-stage).
But for those with formidable strength, their vitality was far greater. Minor injuries healed on their own, but once they sustained serious wounds, it was absolutely troublesome—recovery could take a year or even several years.
To treat these high-ranking powerhouses required medicinal ingredients containing far more life energy—typically speaking, rare natural treasures.
The mid-to-high-grade recovery potions produced in dungeons were scarce in quantity, but Su Xing was different. His alchemy could consistently produce slightly higher-grade healing elixirs.
And once he successfully developed them, humanity’s strength at Demon-Sealing Pass would absolutely increase dramatically!
Just imagine—if humanity’s Heavenly King and Martial Emperor-stage Class Users could fully recover within mere days of being injured, they could absolutely fight one against three or even more on the battlefield!
Thinking of this, Su Xing murmured:
“Looks like in future simulations, I’ll need to pay attention and try refining higher-grade pills.”
But this couldn’t be rushed. Su Xing resumed the simulation.
【You managed to find several hundred stalks of Silver Moon Flower and Perseverance Grass among the medicinal ingredients brought out from the Advent Cult. As for century-old fleeceflower root, Great Xia still had plenty of it.】
【After confirming you had the basic refining ingredients, you didn’t immediately refine pills. Instead, you continued steadily improving your cultivation.】
【Year eighteen, your Body Tempering cultivation remained stuck at Primordial Martial Realm, Grand Perfection without breaking through, but your physical strength had increased by nearly ten percent compared to when you first entered Grand Perfection. You were pleasantly surprised, understanding this was the result of two years of consuming Demon Emperor Blood Essence. The higher-grade energy essence was gradually enhancing your constitution.】
【This also made you realize something—that even within the same realm, differences in talent and foundation could lead to vastly different levels of strength. So you did everything possible to make yourself stronger within your current realm.】
【Year nineteen, you continued diligently tempering your body and consuming Demon Emperor Blood Essence daily. The two hundred jin Luo Shuying had brought you was now finished, but the battles at Demon-Sealing Pass had intensified over the years. Both human Martial Emperors and Demon Emperors had fallen, giving you access to sufficient blood essence.】
【Drawing on your previous experience breaking through Body Tempering realms, you understood that to advance steadily from Primordial Martial Realm to Divine Power Realm, you had to push your physical strength as high as possible. So while diligently cultivating Qi Refinement, you focused even more on improving your Primordial Martial Realm cultivation.】
【Year twenty, your physical strength improved further. Compared to when you first entered Primordial Martial Realm, Grand Perfection, your strength and physical durability had increased by nearly twenty percent. As your body grew stronger, you found you could consume more Demon Emperor Blood Essence each day. You swallowed over half a jin of Demon Emperor blood flesh daily, and your power remained in a period of steady growth.】
【That same year, your Qi Refinement cultivation broke through. You became a sixth-layer Nascent Soul cultivator!】
【Year twenty-one, your good brother Yu Yan died in battle at Demon-Sealing Pass. Your heart was filled with sorrow, but you knew this grief would likely persist, because as the day of the apocalypse drew closer, more of your friends and loved ones would die at Demon-Sealing Pass—until the day the giant beast descended, and everyone perished in its maw.】
【So you trained even harder, desperately raising your cultivation. You feared that day’s arrival, and even more, you feared watching the people you loved die before your eyes.】
【Year twenty-two, your physical strength continued to grow, and your Qi Refinement cultivation drew ever closer to the seventh layer of the Nascent Soul stage.】
【In previous years, you had tried refining Divine Power Pills daily, hoping to trigger your Spontaneous Epiphany talent. But without a doubt, you failed. The goddess of fortune did not stand on your side. However, you believed that as long as you kept trying earnestly in every simulation, good luck would eventually come.】
【Year twenty-three, your physical attributes continued to improve steadily, though the rate had slowed considerably compared to when you first broke through to Primordial Martial Realm, Grand Perfection. You knew that every stage and realm had its limits, and you were perhaps approaching that ceiling.】
【Year twenty-four, your cultivation finally broke through. You successfully stepped into the late Nascent Soul stage, becoming a seventh-layer Nascent Soul cultivator!】
【Year twenty-five, humanity suffered a devastating defeat at Demon-Sealing Pass. Hundreds of thousands of Great Xia soldiers perished in that battle. Demon-Sealing Pass fell entirely, and humanity stood on the brink of annihilation.】
【You hadn’t expected the apocalypse to erupt in the same year again. You had originally thought it would come later, yet Demon-Sealing Pass still fell in year twenty-five. You realized that time had perhaps reached a critical threshold, and to delay the apocalypse any further, you would need to make even more changes.】
【With the fall of Demon-Sealing Pass, the giant beast descended upon the real world.】
【That sky-blotting beast swallowed all of Great Xia in a single gulp. You were devoured into the beast’s belly.】
【You died!】
【Your talent Human Nuclear Bomb activated!】
【At the moment of your explosion, your entire body vaporized on the spot. Your talent Die With Eyes Open failed to activate%】
【BOOM! A Human Nuclear Bomb equivalent to ten thousand Tsar Bombas detonated inside the giant beast’s stomach. This tremendous energy… gave the beast diarrhea for several days…】
【Ding, this simulation has ended!】
Su Xing stared blankly at this scene.
“What the hell—ten thousand Tsar Bombas, and it only gave that beast diarrhea for a few days?”
“Just what level of existence is this giant beast? Could it really be god-tier? Or even higher?”
Su Xing’s expression turned grim. Nuclear weapons represented the absolute pinnacle of Earth’s technological destructive power.
Even Martial Emperor-stage powerhouses could merely ignore nuclear radiation at best; they wouldn’t dare claim they could stand at ground zero of a nuclear detonation and emerge unscathed.
And yet ten thousand Tsar Bombas couldn’t even seriously injure the beast—merely gave it an upset stomach?
Thinking this, Su Xing understood more clearly than ever the enormity of the road ahead.
Su Xing’s dao heart nearly wavered. After recognizing the vast gulf between them and their enemy, did resistance even have any meaning?
But some force within Su Xing’s heart spurred him on—an unyielding, indomitable conviction. The determination in his eyes hardened once more.
“I have the simulation—a bug-like ability to preview the future. I can absolutely drive out the giant beast! If once isn’t enough, then twice. If twice isn’t enough, then ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times!”
“My strength keeps growing while the alien race’s power stays the same. As the gap narrows, victory will ultimately belong to all of humanity!”
Su Xing clenched his fists.
With his fighting spirit renewed, Su Xing began reviewing this simulation.
This had been a simulation that lasted until the apocalypse. Su Xing had lived long enough.
Over such a long span of time, he had essentially achieved his goals.
His physical cultivation had reached Primordial Martial Realm, Grand Perfection, just one step away from breaking through to Divine Power Realm!
And his Qi Refinement cultivation had reached the seventh layer of the Nascent Soul stage. Perhaps with just one more run, Su Xing could become a Nascent Soul Stage, Grand Perfection cultivator.
So his next objective was to attempt breaking through to Divine Power Realm.
The bad news was that the Divine Power Pill still hadn’t been successfully refined, but Su Xing would keep trying.
“Beyond that, refining higher-grade healing pills also needs to be put on the agenda…”
Su Xing rubbed the space between his brows, then turned his gaze to the reward selection on the simulation panel.
