Chapter 119 – Bathed in Blood at Demon-Sealing Pass, Finally Reaching the Limit! (First Update)

Chapter 119 – Bathed in Blood at Demon-Sealing Pass, Finally Reaching the Limit! (First Update)

Seeing this, Su Xing’s heart clenched tight.

He’d broken through nine million jin!

This far exceeded Su Xing’s expectations!

At this rate, perhaps his final strength breakthrough could reach ten million jin!

“Divine Power Realm Great Perfection, one hundred thousand tons of force! Here I come!”

Su Xing clenched both fists, shouting inwardly.

What did one hundred thousand tons of force even mean?

An aircraft carrier weighed only about fifty thousand tons.

And Su Xing, with pure physical strength reaching one hundred thousand tons, could hold a Nimitz-class carrier in one hand and a Carl Vinson in the other, then leisurely fly over the Pacific Ocean.

One man destroying an entire nation—no longer a dream!

“If I can truly reach ten million jin of strength, then when I first break through to Divine Power Realm, my strength will double… that’s twenty million jin!”

“Only veteran Martial Emperor powerhouses could reach that level of strength, right?”

“Although those Martial Emperor powerhouses have skill bonuses… I also have primordial energy. With primordial energy enhancement… my strength doubles again!”

Su Xing was instantly fired up.

This meant he was about to rival Martial Emperor-stage powerhouses!

“Martial Emperor-stage powerhouses! There are only a few dozen in all of Great Xia… Across the seven nations and twelve domains of the human race, the total number of Martial Emperor-stage powerhouses is only a few hundred. By that logic, I’m about to become a top-tier powerhouse!”

Su Xing couldn’t contain his excitement.

“Perhaps… I no longer need to hide… By revealing my strength, I could fight for even more resources!?”

Su Xing silently considered the possibility of this approach…

But then he shook his head. The alien races had unfathomable methods, and once exposed, he would face endless assassination attempts.

Though the gains were great, the risks exceeded what Su Xing could bear.

“Perhaps I can try it out in the simulation first… What level has my true strength actually reached?”

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

【Year Sixteen: You continued your grueling daily training, tempering your body through the Wu Clan’s unique Body Tempering methods while conducting high-intensity strength training and consuming Demon Emperor Blood Essence.】

【Through your day-and-night efforts, although your strength growth had slowed, there was still steady room for improvement.】

【This year, your strength reached nine million one hundred thousand jin!】

【Year Seventeen: You continued your previous training regimen, but as your strength grew, breakthroughs became increasingly difficult.】

【This year your strength increased by only one hundred thousand jin, reaching nine million two hundred thousand jin.】

【Year Eighteen: You felt yourself hitting a bottleneck. In the past, your physical strength improved at a visible pace every day, but now the progress grew slower and slower—sometimes you even stagnated entirely.】

【Moreover, the high-intensity training had pushed your body to its breaking point.】

【This year, your strength increased by only eighty thousand jin, reaching nine million two hundred eighty thousand jin…】

Seeing this, Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly and murmured:

“Almost reaching the limit? Only eighty thousand jin of growth in a year… That’s not fast enough!”

“I need to find a way to accelerate my strength growth…”

Several ideas flashed through Su Xing’s mind.

Devour higher-grade demon beast flesh?

Su Xing shook his head slightly.

Setting aside whether Legendary-stage demon beast flesh could even be obtained—

Even if he got it, at the Primordial Martial Realm, consuming it would probably cause his body to explode, wouldn’t it?

“Then there’s only one method left… Through battle, gain better mastery of my strength!”

Su Xing had wanted to lay low in the Blessed Spirit Field until reaching Divine Power Realm, but his strength gains were simply too slow.

If he fought continuously on the battlefield, perhaps his latent potential could be further unleashed.

And the best place for battle… was undoubtedly Demon-Sealing Pass!

With that thought, Su Xing turned back to the simulation panel.

【Year Nineteen: You left the Blessed Spirit Field instance and returned to the real world.】

【Less than half a month after returning to the real world, you encountered three assassination attempts. Fortunately, your strength was formidable, and with Luo Shuying protecting you closely, you were unharmed.】

【You traveled to the Demon-Sealing Pass instance, preparing to improve your strength through combat.】

【Upon learning of your intentions, Luo Shuying and Great Xia’s upper echelons vehemently opposed it, because you were now a thorn in the demon race’s side, and showing your face would be far too dangerous.】

【But you were determined to go to Demon-Sealing Pass and digest your power through battle.】

【You traveled to Demon-Sealing Pass, consuming Demon Emperor Blood Essence daily while joining the battlefield.】

【Your strength was formidable. When using spiritual energy, ordinary Demon Kings could barely withstand three punches under your overwhelming force.】

【In just half a year, you had slain over a hundred Demon Kings!】

【Just as you’d anticipated, through high-intensity combat combined with Demon Emperor Blood Essence, your strength surged daily!】

【This year, your strength grew to nine million four hundred thousand jin!】

【Year Twenty: You remained a god of slaughter on the battlefield. Ordinary Demon Kings were no match for you whatsoever. Even when Demon Emperors personally attacked you, you could hold on until Luo Shuying came to your aid.】

【This year on the battlefield, you were targeted for assassination thirty times. Soldiers within the army turned their blades on you, and multiple Demon Emperors tried to encircle and eliminate you, but you survived every attempt.】

【The most perilous time, a Legendary-stage demon beast personally attacked you, but you retreated into the Blessed Spirit Field just in time, narrowly escaping with your life.】

【Over the course of a year, you slew hundreds of Demon Kings, your entire body drenched in blood, your combat instincts sharpening rapidly.】

【This year, your strength grew to nine million five hundred fifty thousand jin!】

【Year Twenty-One: Gradually, the Demon King-level beasts came to know your terror. They no longer wished to fight you, fleeing at the mere sight of you from afar.】

【Left with no choice, you could only set your sights on Demon Emperor-level powerhouses!】

【With your strength, when wielding the Blackice sword, you could already contend with Demon Emperors in battle. Though you were at a disadvantage most of the time, your life was never truly in danger.】

【Over the course of a year, you fought over a hundred battles against Demon Emperor-level beasts, your combat awareness improving dramatically.】

【This year, you were injured many times, but you endured each wound. Your strength surged to nine million seven hundred thousand jin!】

【Year Twenty-Two: As your strength grew, you felt yourself touching upon some kind of limit. You had the urge to break through to Divine Power Realm immediately!】

【Because you knew that the moment you broke through to Divine Power Realm, you would instantly possess strength rivaling a Demon Emperor!】

【But you forcibly suppressed that urge, because the closer you pushed to the limit in Primordial Martial Realm, the higher your future achievements would be!】

【This year, your strength grew to nine million eight hundred thousand jin!】

【Year Twenty-Three: The human race’s situation at Demon-Sealing Pass grew increasingly dire. Through endless battles, human powerhouses suffered mounting losses, yet demon beasts seemed inexhaustible—Demon Kings and Demon Emperors kept appearing on the battlefield without end.】

【Under the overwhelming disparity in strength, the human race could only hunker down behind Demon-Sealing Pass’s walls, unable to sortie beyond the city.】

【But your performance remained extraordinary. You fought Demon Emperors daily, and on the battlefield, your contribution was nearly equivalent to a Martial Emperor-stage powerhouse.】

【This year, your strength grew to nine million eight hundred eighty thousand jin!】

【Year Twenty-Four: The high-intensity fighting continued relentlessly. Every day you opened your eyes to kill demon beasts. When hungry, you ate Demon Emperor Blood Essence. The number of demon beasts that had died by your hand was beyond counting.】

【You finally understood the horror of Demon-Sealing Pass, and felt the despair of its soldiers—because no matter how many demon beasts you killed each day, there were always more. They were endless.】

【With your strength alone, you slew hundreds of demon beasts a day, yet compared to the total number on the battlefield, it was but a drop in the ocean.】

【The only thing that gave you hope was that your strength was still growing, gradually approaching a certain limit.】

【This year, your strength grew to nine million nine hundred sixty thousand jin!】

Seeing this, Su Xing’s expression grew complicated.

Through the cold text before him, he seemed to see the helplessness of Demon-Sealing Pass’s soldiers, and felt his own powerlessness.

Even as a Primordial Martial Realm powerhouse, even rivaling a Martial Emperor… what he could do on this battlefield was still limited.

Only by becoming the strongest could he suppress everything!

Only then could he rescue the human race from thousands of years of oppression by the alien races.

Only then could he prevent that apocalypse decades in the future…

Su Xing’s drive to become stronger wasn’t for anyone else—it was simply so he could survive better.

“At least there’s hope in sight!”

“As long as I can push to the limit in this simulation and break through to Divine Power Realm! That alone would be a solid step forward!”

Su Xing clenched his fist to bolster his resolve, then turned to the simulation panel.

【Year Twenty-Five: You had lost track of how many days you’d been at Demon-Sealing Pass. All you knew were the endless demon beasts beyond the walls, and the wounded comrades each day.】

【Yesterday, Luo Shuying was injured again while saving you. But against a powerhouse of that level, you still felt a deep sense of helplessness.】

【Now the only thing sustaining you was your ever-climbing strength, pushing ever closer to that limit!】

【A few months passed, and your strength increased by another twenty thousand jin. The target of ten million jin was drawing closer and closer…】

【But the human forces at Demon-Sealing Pass were dwindling. More and more soldiers fell in battle. You didn’t know how much longer they could hold—five years, three years… or perhaps even less?】

【You fought ceaselessly, desperate to reach the ten-million-jin limit sooner!】

【Several more months passed. Your strength had reached nine million nine hundred ninety thousand jin, but growth had become nearly imperceptible.】

【Perhaps a few hundred jin of growth per day, or even less…】

【This feeling of approaching the limit yet seeing no end—you could only carry on through sheer willpower.】

【Finally, one day, while locked in a desperate battle against a Demon Emperor, you unleashed the most powerful sword strike of your entire life!】

【You felt a certain shackle within your body finally shatter!】

【You fought the Demon Emperor for hours, finally grievously wounding it with a single sword strike before ultimately taking its head.】

【You extracted the Demon Emperor’s blood essence and swallowed it in great gulps, heedless of the bitter, acrid taste.】

【A premonition rose in your heart—it was time to break through to Divine Power Realm!】
