Body Tempering Cultivation Skyrockets, Millions of Spirit Liquid Drops!

Su Xing looked at this and nodded with satisfaction, murmuring:

“As expected, this Beast Taming World is an excellent place for me to obtain Legendary demonic beast blood essence!”

“Killing four or five Legendary demonic beasts per year on average — that’s not a slow pace… more than enough for refining Rebirth Pills!”

“Unfortunately, at this rate there’s no hope of slaying all the Legendary demonic beasts… I’ll just have to wait until my strength grows further before attempting that!”

Su Xing thought this to himself. His current primary goal was still to raise both his Void Shattering and Void Return stage cultivation to the Peak of his current realm.

Only then would he have the opportunity in the future to slaughter hundreds of Legendary demonic beasts in a single day.

His gaze turned to the simulation panel.

【Year Eleven: You stayed on Earth for a year. Each day, aside from taking Rebirth Pills for cultivation, you spent time with friends and family. Life was rather uneventful.】

【Year Twelve: You returned to the Beast Taming World’s Slaughter Battlefield, continuing to hunt Legendary demonic beasts on the field of battle.】

【You took Rebirth Pills daily to increase your cultivation.】

【And so, another two years passed.】

【Year Fourteen: After two years of diligent cultivation, you sensed that your strength was drawing ever closer to the Void-Breaking Realm, Third Layer!】

【Year Fifteen: One day, after completing your cultivation routine, you felt the power of your blood and qi break through to another level.】

【You became a Void-Breaking Realm, Third Layer cultivator!】

【Year Sixteen: You continued hunting Legendary demonic beasts on the battlefield as always.】

【But your years of frequent hunting had finally drawn the attention of the foreign races.】

【An Emperor-level demonic beast led several Legendary demonic beasts in a surprise ambush against you.】

【Fortunately, your combat experience was extensive, and you managed to escape into the spirit field grotto-heaven in time.】

【Afterward, an Emperor-level beast tamer came to your aid and successfully rescued you.】

【After this ordeal, you became far more cautious when hunting Legendary demonic beasts on the battlefield.】

【Fortunately, you had accumulated over a thousand Rebirth Pills over the years, and you decided to enter seclusion for a period of cultivation.】

【And so, three years slowly passed…】

【Year Nineteen: After three years of seclusion, your cultivation had surged dramatically, and you were not far from the Void-Breaking Realm, Fourth Layer.】

【But the Fourth Layer belonged to the mid-stage of the Void-Breaking Realm, and there was a small bottleneck — breaking through would not be so easy.】

【This year, your quantity of low-grade spirit liquid reached 2.9 million drops!】

【Year Twenty: Your supply of Rebirth Pills was exhausted, so you ventured once more to the Slaughter Battlefield to slay demonic beasts.】

【Over the course of a year, you killed several Legendary demonic beasts.】

【At the same time, you took Rebirth Pills daily for cultivation.】

【One day, you finally broke through the mid-stage bottleneck of the Void-Breaking Realm and became a Void-Breaking Realm, Fourth Layer cultivator!】

【After your breakthrough, you did not grow complacent. You continued spending each day on the Slaughter Battlefield killing demonic beasts and raising your cultivation.】

【The Legendary beast tamers of the Beast Taming World also noticed your formidable physical strength, but under your smooth talking, they believed this power was a gift bestowed upon you by the dragon.】

【And that red dragon you used as a Mount could only tearfully acknowledge this claim.】

【Year Twenty-One: You continued slaying Legendary demonic beasts daily and taking Void-Breaking Pills to raise your cultivation.】

【The Beast Taming World’s forces were already formidable, and with your assistance, the demonic beasts were actually pushed onto the back foot, being suppressed on the battlefield.】

【And so, several more years slowly passed.】

【Year Twenty-Four: You knew that this year, that Demon Saint of boundless power would descend upon this world.】

【Adhering to the prudent philosophy of “better my Daoist friend dies than this poor monk,” you decided to lie low for the time being and leave the Beast Taming World.】

【Before departing, you told the beast tamers that a great calamity might befall them and that they should make preparations early.】

【But they had been blinded by the favorable situation of recent years and were firmly convinced they could defeat the demonic beasts.】

【Left with no choice, you returned to Earth alone.】

【By now, your cultivation was not far from the Void-Breaking Realm, Fifth Layer. You decided to use your remaining Rebirth Pills for cultivation and break through to the Fifth Layer as soon as possible!】

【Year Twenty-Five: On an ordinary morning, you successfully broke through and became a Void-Breaking Realm, Fifth Layer cultivator!】

Seeing this, Su Xing couldn’t help but feel a trace of excitement in his eyes.

“The Rebirth Pill — truly worthy of being a pill the ancient Wu Clan used to temper the bodies of their young!”

“After my improvements, it can actually raise the cultivation of a Void Shattering realm cultivator this quickly!”

Su Xing was inwardly astonished.

The effects of the Rebirth Pill were terrifyingly impressive. In a mere twenty-odd years, it had elevated him from the First Layer of Void-Breaking all the way to the Fifth Layer!

An average of six years per breakthrough!

Such speed was virtually unheard of among Void-Breaking realm cultivators!

“It’s been twenty-five years now, and spirit liquid collection is nearly complete. The goals for this simulation have been more than met!”

“If not for the Beast Taming World providing me with such an abundant supply of Legendary demonic beast blood essence, I could never have reached this level!”

After a pause, Su Xing continued to ponder.

“However, the remaining time shouldn’t be wasted either… Demon-Sealing Pass should fall soon.”

“In these final moments, perhaps I can make one more trip to the space-time rift at the end of the Slaughter Battlefield…”

Su Xing’s gaze sharpened slightly.

Ever since his last encounter with that Slaughter Apostle, Su Xing had too many unanswered questions in his heart.

His gaze turned to the simulation panel.

【You knew that in Year Twenty-Five, those Legendary demonic beasts and Demon Emperors would inevitably descend upon Demon-Sealing Pass.】

【And with the human race’s current strength, there was no way to stop them.】

【So you prepared to enter the Slaughter Battlefield alone through Demon-Sealing Pass.】

【You prepared a sufficient supply of Tranquility Pills and other medicines in advance.】

【This year, your total spirit liquid collection reached 3.8 million drops!】

【You entered the Slaughter Battlefield, walking across the barren red earth.】

【The only thing that could guide your direction was the red moon hanging overhead.】

【Along the way, the lost demonic creatures you encountered grew stronger and stronger.】

【From Demon Kings to Demon Emperors… and finally to Legendary-stage demonic beasts…】

【The red moon before your eyes grew larger and larger, until it finally appeared the size of a millstone…】

【And as you ventured deeper into the Slaughter Battlefield, the negative emotions in your heart grew ever heavier.】

【At first you could still resist them, but eventually you had to occasionally take a Tranquility Pill to maintain your mental state.】

【Finally, after walking for what felt like an eternity…】

【A fork in the road appeared before you, but you had already lost the Human GPS talent. You couldn’t decide which path to take.】

【After hesitating, you decided to flip a coin to choose…】

【Your luck was good — you chose the correct path…】

【After walking for some time, you encountered another fork in the road…】

【You flipped the coin again… and chose the correct path once more!】

【In this manner, you passed through over ten forks in the road, deciding every single one by flipping a coin!】

【Relying on your terrifying luck, you ultimately reached the very end of the Slaughter Battlefield…】

【You saw the red moon, now so close you could almost touch it — as if you need only reach out your hand to feel its surface.】

【You knew that the white air gate leading to the unknown was nearby, so you released your divine sense to carefully probe everything within a radius of thirty thousand zhang.】

【Sure enough, you found the white air gate.】

【But at the same time, you also sensed the alien creature that called itself the Slaughter Apostle…】

Seeing this, Su Xing took a deep breath and murmured:

“Since I’ve come this far, there’s naturally no turning back…”

“This time my strength is far greater than before. Perhaps I can give it a try?”

With this thought, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

【After some hesitation, you approached the white air gate.】

【The alien-like creature attacked you… You activated your Protective Hardened Qi to shield yourself…】

【Your Protective Hardened Qi shattered instantly, and you were sent flying back a hundred meters, two of your ribs snapping.】

【You struggled to your feet. The creature before you was clearly far beyond what you could currently handle.】

【The creature calling itself the Slaughter Apostle regarded you with interest and declared that you had passed its test.】

【It asked whether you were willing to embrace the Red Moon and become an existence as powerful as itself.】

Seeing this, Su Xing’s gaze sharpened. His previous choice had been to refuse.

But what would happen if he agreed this time?

With this thought in mind, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

【You told the Slaughter Apostle that you were willing to embrace the Red Moon.】

【The Slaughter Apostle nodded with satisfaction and praised you as a sensible person.】

【It called you to its side, then began to pray toward the red moon.】

【The Slaughter Apostle’s mouth moved ceaselessly in delirious murmuring. You couldn’t understand a word of what it was saying — clearly, this was not within the scope of beast language.】

【After a moment, the red moon in the sky flickered once, and then you seemed to sense a pair of invisible hands touching you.】

【You felt the gaze of a great existence… Red light flashed before you…】

【Immediately after, the Slaughter Apostle beside you had a drastic change in expression. He dropped to his knees with a thud and began kowtowing nonstop toward the red moon in the sky, begging for forgiveness.】

【Then, sharp fingernails sliced across your neck…】

【Your head slid off accordingly, and your divine soul was crushed by the Slaughter Apostle.】

【You died!】

【Ding, your talent Die With Eyes Open has activated!】

【You saw the Slaughter Apostle open his mouth as if saying something. This time, he wasn’t speaking that strange language.】

【His eyes still carried a look of terror…】

【From reading his lips, you determined he was saying: Please, Red Moon, grant forgiveness — he did not know you were a person despised by the Slaughter Red Moon…】

【Ding, this simulation has ended!】

After the simulation ended, Su Xing furrowed his brows tightly.

“I still died… It seems whether or not I submit to the red moon’s embrace doesn’t change the outcome…”

“And there it is again! A person despised by Slaughter…”

“Why? Why does this cycle’s red moon detest and reject me?”

“Could it be because I’m a cultivator?”

Su Xing was thoroughly confused. Judging from the Slaughter Apostle’s reaction, being despised by the red moon should be an extremely rare — even extraordinary — occurrence…

Why did it happen to fall upon him of all people?

Su Xing had no way of knowing…

After brooding for a long while, Su Xing shook his head slightly and said:

“Forget it, no point dwelling on this…”

“It seems the only way to pass the Slaughter Battlefield and reach the white door is one method alone — killing that so-called Slaughter Apostle!”

“But with my current strength… I’m still quite a ways off…”

The desire to grow stronger burned ever more fiercely in Su Xing’s heart!

“Let me check this simulation’s rewards first…”

With that thought, Su Xing turned his gaze to the reward list.

【Midas Touch】: Purple talent. Price: 1,000,000 energy points.

【Twenty Years of Alchemy Experience】: After redemption, existing alchemy insights will increase by a small margin. Price: 2,000,000 energy.

【Void-Breaking Realm, Fifth Layer】: Mid-stage Void-Breaking Realm cultivation. Foundation is solid. Use one’s own great power to shatter all illusions. Physical durability greatly increased. Pure physical strength reaches two million tons! Price: 400,000,000 energy.

【Low-Grade Spirit Liquid, 3.8 Million Drops】: Price: 380,000,000 energy.

【Rebirth Pills (High-Grade) x200】: Developed by the ancient Wu Clan… Divine Power realm cultivators who take them will rapidly increase their cultivation. Void Shattering stage cultivators who take them will benefit their Body Tempering practice. Has certain side effects. Price: 400,000,000 simulation energy.

For this simulation’s reward selection, Su Xing didn’t hesitate much.

After all, the Midas Touch talent was of no use to Su Xing for now.

What he wanted was the 3.8 million drops of spirit liquid and the Void-Breaking Realm Fifth Layer cultivation!

“Cultivation plus spirit liquid… the total comes to nearly 800 million energy…”

Su Xing frowned slightly. His current energy, even at the most generous estimate, was less than 600 million…

“Even adding next week’s shipment of goods, it probably still won’t be enough to redeem them…”

“Looks like I’ll have to dip into Old Dog Zong’s inheritance for a portion…”

Su Xing nodded slightly.

Not everything in Old Dog Zong’s storage artifact was useful to Su Xing.

Besides some usable magical treasures, cultivation techniques, spirit herbs, pills… and those spirit stones and such.

A large portion consisted of things Su Xing could make use of — but then again, Old Dog Zong had been a heretical cultivator after all.

Many of his treasures involved damaging one’s foundation at the slightest provocation, or blood sacrifices of human souls…

Su Xing possessed the simulator, that heaven-defying cheat. He had absolutely no need to use things that would compromise his own future potential.

So when Su Xing had sorted through the items earlier, he had already planned to convert some of the treasures into simulation energy to recover some reserves…

With a thought, Su Xing took out a batch of treasures.

“Convert to energy!”

【Ding, detected an evil magical treasure containing partial energy. Value: 3,000,000 energy. Absorb?】

What Su Xing had taken out was none other than the Withered Bone Sword that Old Dog Zong had previously used.

Though the Withered Bone Sword was a decent magical treasure, Su Xing already had the superior Blackice origin artifact, making it virtually useless to him.

And there were many more useless items like this.

“Confirm absorption!”

Su Xing intoned silently, then proceeded to convert these useless items into energy one by one.

【Ding, detected items containing partial energy. Value: 5,300,000 energy. Absorb?】

【Ding, detected items containing partial energy. Value: 2,700,000 energy. Absorb?】

【Ding…】

A continuous string of notifications rang in Su Xing’s ears.

Su Xing didn’t choose to convert all the useless items into energy. Instead, he converted roughly 300 million simulation energy’s worth first.

“Not bad. Converting these useless items into energy is truly maximizing their value!”

Su Xing nodded with satisfaction, then had a thought — he wanted to see how much all the items in Old Dog Zong’s storage bag were worth in total.

【Ding, detected items containing large amounts of energy. Total value: 1,200,000,000 energy… Convert?】

“No!”

Su Xing refused decisively.

“So that means, counting the 300 million from before, the total value of everything in the storage bag is roughly around 1.5 billion energy…”

“Hiss~ If I were to bring all that out through the simulator, it would cost at least 15 billion!”

“Tsk tsk… Can’t afford that exchange, truly can’t afford it!”

The corner of Su Xing’s mouth curved upward, quite satisfied with the inheritance Old Dog Zong had left him.

There were simply too many items in Old Dog Zong’s storage bag, and they were far too disorganized. Thousands of years of accumulation — Su Xing couldn’t even count them all.

Of the items worth 1.5 billion energy, at least half were things useless to Su Xing.

But the remaining items — their value to Su Xing was no less than 10 billion energy!

Especially for filling the gaps in Su Xing’s cultivation world needs, they would be tremendously useful…

“Tsk tsk, once I’ve fully digested this batch of Old Dog Zong’s treasures, my comprehension of cultivation will definitely improve dramatically!”

Su Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Su Xing prepared to claim this simulation’s rewards.

“I choose to redeem the Void-Breaking Realm cultivation and the spirit liquid!”

【You have successfully brought out 3,800,000 drops of spirit liquid. Cost: 380,000,000 energy. Remaining energy: 523,330,000 points.】

【You have successfully brought out Void-Breaking Realm, Fifth Layer cultivation. Cost: 400,000,000 energy. Remaining energy: 123,330,000 points.】

As the simulator’s Chime faded, a mysterious force descended into Su Xing’s body.

Feeling the surging, roiling blood energy and aura within himself, Su Xing hurriedly closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and began regulating his breathing.

Immediately after, the aura on Su Xing’s body began to skyrocket!

Void-Breaking Realm, First Layer… Void-Breaking Realm, Third Layer… Void-Breaking Realm, Fourth Layer…

Finally — Void-Breaking Realm, Fifth Layer!

The entire breakthrough process was as smooth as flowing water. Su Xing felt his strength and physical durability rapidly increasing.

A quarter of an hour later, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and stood up, a sharp gleam flashing through his gaze.

“Physical durability… raw physical power — both have increased roughly fourfold compared to before!”

“Even without borrowing origin energy, I can reach two million tons of Great Force!”

A trace of excitement flickered in Su Xing’s eyes as he murmured:

“Although both my Void-Breaking and Void Return stages are at mid-tier… with my current strength, even facing late-stage or Peak Legendary powerhouses, I shouldn’t be at a disadvantage, right?”

The corner of Su Xing’s mouth curled upward.

Before, his greatest asset was defense — the defense comparable to mid-stage Void-Breaking that his Protective Hardened Qi provided!

But now, Su Xing’s offensive power and combat capabilities had caught up as well.

Fighting a late-stage Legendary opponent wouldn’t be much of a problem!

As long as the enemy wasn’t an Emperor-level powerhouse, they essentially posed no threat to Su Xing’s life…

“Truly terrifying power!”

Su Xing looked at his own fists, his heart shaken beyond words.

Such a terrifying surge in power caused Su Xing’s confidence to swell in an instant.

With a thought, Su Xing wrapped origin energy around both fists, then launched a punch straight into the air!

Where Su Xing’s fist wind passed, the surrounding space itself showed subtle distortions!

This wasn’t because Su Xing had mastered some grand Dao of space — it was purely physical strength combined with origin energy, producing a slight influence on space itself!

“Hiss… Ten thousand mighty forces gathered in one body, using pure strength to affect space… Is this the true power of a Void-Breaking Realm cultivator?”
