Chapter 386 – Mythical-Grade Red Talent, Xenomorph!

Chapter 386 – Mythical-Grade Red Talent, Xenomorph!

In the Real World, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly.

“According to the previous progression, the next part will be the fight against that alien Divine Sovereign… I hope the Heart of the Strong talent triggers smoothly!”

“I just wonder what cultivation the Heart of the Strong talent will augment this time.”

Su Xing felt a trace of anticipation as he looked toward the simulation panel.

【Year 320. The Celestial Vessel was ambushed by a massive alien assault force in the void.】

【In this battle, you performed exceptionally. The alien Divine Sovereigns were no match for you in a single exchange… Under these circumstances, an alien second-rank Divine Sovereign set its sights on you!】

【Your current Great Dao of Speed was not far from the fifth realm, and your Great Shaman Body Forging Art had been cultivated to the Fifth Layer, Minor Mastery. Your supernatural arts and techniques were quite impressive.】

【Even an early-stage Golden Immortal would find it difficult to overwhelm you.】

【You fought this alien second-rank Divine Sovereign for dozens of rounds. Though you were constantly suppressed, you never showed signs of defeat.】

【Under these circumstances, you deliberately revealed an opening, then seized the opportunity to unleash the Void Sword. With a single strike, you nearly decapitated this alien Divine Sovereign!】

【This sword strike inflicted severe wounds and filled the alien Divine Sovereign with boundless rage… At the same time, the White Emperor, fighting in the distance, revealed a flash of astonishment!】

【Under these circumstances, the alien Divine Sovereign summoned a scythe-shaped weapon and launched an all-out strike against you…】

【In the moment of crisis, the White Emperor intervened. A Protective Sword Aura shot forth, instantly slaying the alien Divine Sovereign!】

【At the same time, the alien Divine Sovereign’s attack reached you, leaving you severely wounded and on the brink of death…】

【Under these circumstances, your blood and qi surged violently throughout your body, furiously repairing your injuries. The Unkillable Cockroach talent also demonstrated its power, ensuring you would not die on the spot.】

【Thus, you had no choice but to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield and return to the Celestial Vessel to recuperate.】

【In the blink of an eye, seven days passed…】

【Seven days later, your injuries were fully healed, and simultaneously… the Great Shaman Body Forging Art had advanced considerably! Your physical strength was more than double what it had been seven days prior!】

【After recovering from your injuries, you rejoined the battlefield.】

【A few days later, the White Emperor defeated Blood Two, and the Celestial Vessel was safe once more…】

【The Celestial Vessel continued sailing toward the Celestial Secrets Realm…】

In the Real World, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly.

“This time I was severely wounded by that alien Divine Sovereign, but I didn’t lose consciousness… Although the Heart of the Strong talent still triggered, it proves that the gap between me and a Golden Immortal is shrinking!”

“My Void Sword, my strongest technique… is already capable of severely wounding a Golden Immortal!”

Su Xing estimated that his current comprehensive strength was roughly at the ‘pseudo-Golden Immortal’ level — still some distance from an early-stage Golden Immortal, but not far off.

“Once the Great Dao of Speed enters the fifth realm and the Great Shaman Body Forging Art reaches Major Mastery, it should be about right, shouldn’t it?”

“In the next simulation, perhaps I’ll be able to personally slay that alien second-rank Divine Sovereign?”

Su Xing mused for a moment, then continued:

“The Heart of the Strong effect was applied to body tempering cultivation again, so this simulation should still focus primarily on the Great Shaman Body Forging Art!”

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

【Year 330. The Celestial Vessel successfully arrived at the Celestial Secrets Realm.】

【You became an outer-pavilion Elder of the Celestial Secrets Realm. To ensure stable cultivation of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art, you began hunting alien Divine Sovereigns…】

【But drawing from previous experience, you naturally could not expose your true identity. Instead, you used disguise and breath-concealing techniques to hunt aliens within the Heavenly Secrets Domain.】

【Over the next seventy-odd years, you hunted a total of over three hundred alien third-rank Divine Sovereigns, obtaining approximately thirty thousand jin (15,000 kg) of alien blood essence.】

【Year 400. You also exchanged the contribution points earned from slaying alien Divine Sovereigns for a considerable amount of alien second-rank Divine Sovereign blood essence.】

【You then formally entered seclusion for cultivation.】

【As your cultivation improved and you smoothly entered Minor Mastery of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art, your capacity to absorb blood essence increased further.】

【You could consume approximately three jin (1.5 kg) of same-level blood essence per day! In just over thirty years, you had fully absorbed all thirty thousand jin (15,000 kg) of blood essence!】

【Year 430. After absorbing all this blood essence, your physical strength increased by approximately ten percent.】

【But as your physical body continued to grow stronger, advancing your cultivation became increasingly difficult.】

【Thirty thousand jin (15,000 kg) of blood essence would take even a true ancient Wu Clan member a very long time to fully digest.】

【Although it was only a ten percent increase in physical strength, relative to your level of cultivation, the improvement was still considerable.】

【Over the next ten years, you absorbed the second-rank Divine Sovereign blood essence, and your strength grew by another ten percent or so.】

【Year 450. Your Spirit Domain range grew to nine thousand six hundred zhang (31.97 km), drawing ever closer to the ten-thousand-zhang (33.3 km) mark.】

【Year 500. Over these decades, you continuously hunted alien Divine Sovereigns, accumulating reserves, and your physical strength grew by approximately another twenty percent…】

【Over the next hundred years, you carried on as before — aside from cultivating your Spirit Domain each day, you hunted alien Divine Sovereigns, accumulated blood essence, and enhanced your physical power.】

【Year 600. This year, your Spirit Domain grew to nine thousand nine hundred zhang (32.97 km). You were only a single step away from reaching the final ten-thousand-zhang (33.3 km) Major Mastery…】

【Thus, you temporarily devoted more attention to cultivating your Spirit Domain.】

【Year 700. Your physical power ascended another level. Under the continuous nourishment of blood essence, you drew ever closer to Major Mastery of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art, Fifth Layer!】

【That same year, your Spirit Domain finally took another step forward, entering the ten-thousand-zhang (33.3 km) level!】

【After reaching ten thousand zhang (33.3 km), you clearly sensed subtle changes occurring within your Spirit Domain…】

【It seemed that you could merge your spirit field grotto-heaven with your Spirit Domain.】

【This change left you somewhat puzzled.】

【So you entered the Luotian Mirror and consulted a vast number of Luotian Sect texts regarding Spirit Domain cultivation.】

【In the end, you arrived at only one conclusion!】

【After cultivating a Spirit Domain to a certain level, one could reverse space itself, completely assimilating a region of space as one’s own!】

【Within that space, the master of the Spirit Domain would be an absolute god!】

【The records in the texts were rather obscure. After studying them for a long time, you managed to glean some insights, but you still needed the guidance of a powerful cultivator.】

【So you sought out the White Emperor to ask about Spirit Domain matters…】

【The White Emperor, though a sword cultivator, was after all a Great Firmament Golden Immortal. His understanding of the Spirit Domain was not something a mere Mystic Immortal like you could compare to…】

In the Real World, Su Xing raised an eyebrow at this.

“Spirit Domain… it’s finally reached ten thousand zhang (33.3 km)!”

“Before, I had a premonition that something would change after the Spirit Domain reached ten thousand zhang (33.3 km)! Sure enough, that premonition has become reality!”

“Since this is personal guidance from the White Emperor himself, I can’t afford to waste it… I must comprehend as much as possible!”

With that, Su Xing silently intoned:

“Use immersive simulation, duration: one year!”

【Ding! You have successfully activated immersive simulation. Cost: 365 origin energy. Remaining origin energy: 12,849,857 points…】

As the Chime faded, Su Xing’s consciousness entered the simulated world.

…

Celestial Secrets Realm, within Celestial Secrets City.

The moment Su Xing opened his eyes, the White Emperor’s instructive voice reached his ears:

“I didn’t expect you to have achieved such remarkable cultivation in the Spirit Domain as well…”

“However, you should know that biting off more than one can chew leads to nothing… The Sword Dao alone is enough for an ordinary cultivator to toil over for a lifetime. Studying multiple Great Daos simultaneously often means never reaching the end of any of them. It’s not necessarily a good thing…”

Su Xing listened to the White Emperor’s words and wholeheartedly agreed. If not for the simulator, he too would have found it impossible to cultivate multiple Great Daos simultaneously.

“However, since you’ve managed to cultivate your Spirit Domain to the ten-thousand-zhang (33.3 km) level… it shows you have some talent in this area!”

“Since that’s the case, let me offer you some guidance!”

With that, the White Emperor extended a finger toward the center of Su Xing’s brow. The next second, Su Xing felt the scenery around him shift and transform.

Immediately after, Su Xing found himself in a place of verdant mountains and crystal-clear waters, where spiritual energy was extraordinarily dense.

“This place… seems to be a grotto-heaven?” Su Xing surveyed his surroundings, silently wondering.

Then he heard the White Emperor speak:

“This is my Spirit Domain… Its range spans one hundred eighty-nine thousand six hundred li (94,800 km), roughly the size of a small world!”

“Within this Spirit Domain, I am the absolute sovereign!”

The White Emperor casually pointed upward, and from the sky came a chorus of gentle hums.

Immediately after, millions of swords materialized from thin air, hovering high above, causing Su Xing’s eyes to widen.

These swords… seemed to be the White Emperor’s sword intent?

Condensed into physical form!

Seeing the shock in Su Xing’s eyes, the White Emperor nodded with satisfaction and remarked casually:

“My talent in the Spirit Domain isn’t particularly outstanding…”

“But the Spirit Domain is nonetheless a supreme supernatural art… What matters most is the Spirit Domain’s terrifying augmentation of the Great Dao!”

“After first entering the Immortal realm, if one encounters certain fortuitous opportunities… an ordinary Immortal might also be able to establish a grotto-heaven blessed land and possess their own Immortal dwelling…”

“Compared to a conventional dwelling, this kind of portable dwelling is obviously safer and more convenient…”

After a brief pause, the White Emperor continued:

“But not every Immortal has such fortune…”

“Moreover, portable dwellings are not omnipotent… They can easily be invaded by other cultivators, among various other drawbacks.”

“However, once a Spirit Domain reaches ten thousand zhang (33.3 km)… one can attempt to transform the Spirit Domain into a Spirit Realm!”

“A Spirit Realm… spanning over a hundred thousand li (50,000 km), capable of housing countless living beings. All living beings within the Spirit Realm can become a source of power for the cultivator!”

“Furthermore, within the Spirit Realm, a cultivator’s strength is greatly amplified!”

“For instance, if I were in reality, due to certain factors… my Sword Dao might only operate at ninety percent. But within my Spirit Domain, my Sword Dao can unleash one hundred twenty percent of its power!”

The White Emperor explained at length. Su Xing was confused at first, but eventually came to understand.

In summary, a Spirit Domain could be substantialized!

And Su Xing’s spirit field grotto-heaven could also become part of his Spirit Domain!

So Su Xing voiced the question in his heart:

“Senior White Emperor, I also possess a spirit field grotto-heaven… I simply don’t know how to transform it into a Spirit Domain.”

After hearing this, the White Emperor explained:

“Feel it with your heart… Within your portable dwelling, try to make everything here part of your Spirit Domain!”

“A Spirit Domain can grow continuously!”

“If you can truly merge your Spirit Domain with reality… then in the future, you will hold a place among the Three Thousand Worlds!”

As he spoke, the White Emperor seemed to recall something:

“Once, there was a woman who walked nearly to the very end of the Spirit Domain path across the Three Thousand Worlds… The entire Greater World was her Spirit Domain!”

“Her power was so great that even I… could only admire from afar!”

…

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

When Su Xing opened his eyes again, he had returned to the Real World.

Throughout this year, Su Xing had followed the White Emperor’s guidance, cultivating his Spirit Domain and attempting to merge it with his spirit field grotto-heaven.

However, the results were minimal…

“Hah… It seems advancing the Spirit Domain further won’t be easy.”

Su Xing rubbed the center of his brow. He was intent on transforming his spirit field grotto-heaven into part of his Spirit Domain.

Doing so would further enhance Su Xing’s combat power!

More importantly… if Su Xing’s Spirit Domain continued to grow, reaching a hundred thousand zhang (333 km), or even a hundred thousand li (50,000 km)…

At that point, wouldn’t Su Xing truly possess a world of his own!

He could even effortlessly contain every living being on Earth within his Spirit Domain!

“No, at that point, it could no longer be called a Spirit Domain… it would be a Spirit Realm!”

Su Xing’s eyes brimmed with intense anticipation.

“But I have plenty of time. In the simulations to come, besides advancing my cultivation, the Spirit Domain must also be a primary focus of improvement!”

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

【Year 710. After ten years of contemplating your Spirit Domain, you still had not managed to merge it with your portable dwelling.】

【But you were not anxious. Instead, you continued steadily improving your cultivation and advancing your strength…】

【In the blink of an eye, nearly another hundred years passed.】

【Year 800. A great war between the Heavenly Secrets Domain and the alien races was on the verge of erupting.】

【In this war, you concealed your identity and fought cautiously, slaying a considerable number of alien Divine Sovereigns.】

【You survived the war successfully.】

【Year 810. The decade-long war ended, and you returned to the Celestial Secrets Realm to continue cultivating the Great Shaman Body Forging Art.】

【And so, another sixty years passed.】

【Year 870. You sensed that your physical body was not far from breaking through to Major Mastery of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art, Fifth Layer…】

【But while you were out hunting aliens, Blood Two caught your trail once more!】

【Blood Two captured you and subjected you to a soul search…】

【You died!】

【Ding! This simulation has ended!】

“Hah… eight hundred seventy years of simulation. Not a bad run!”

“The most important things are the cultivation and Spirit Domain advancements from this simulation!”

“It seems that in the next simulation, my Great Shaman Body Forging Art will smoothly reach Major Mastery of the Fifth Layer!”

Su Xing’s lips curled upward as he looked at the simulation reward list.

【Rock-Earth Divine Physique】: Gold talent. Price: 10 origin energy.

【Mystic Immortal Realm, Fourth Layer】: Condense the five qi within your chest. Only through the Five Qi converging upon the origin can one ascend to the rank of Mystic Immortal! After eight hundred years of cultivation, you have barely entered mid-stage Mystic Immortal. Price: 1,000,000 origin energy.

【Spirit Domain Cultivation Results】: Ten-thousand-zhang (33.3 km) Spirit Domain, Major Mastery. Beginning the gradual transformation from Spirit Domain to Spirit Realm. With the White Emperor’s guidance, you have set foot on the proper path toward a Spirit Realm. Price: 500,000 origin energy.

【Great Shaman Body Forging Art, Fifth Layer】: An ancient Wu Clan body tempering secret art. Only a single step away from Major Mastery of the Fifth Layer. Comparable to mid-stage Mystic Immortal. Physical body capable of tearing through the void, and one’s own aura beginning to gradually form a “battle domain.” Price: 2,500,000 origin energy.

Looking at the rewards before him, Su Xing silently intoned:

“I choose to extract the Great Shaman Body Forging Art cultivation results… and the Spirit Domain Cultivation Results!”

【Ding! You have successfully extracted Spirit Domain Cultivation Results. Cost: 500,000 origin energy. Remaining origin energy: 12,349,857 points…】

【You have successfully extracted Great Shaman Body Forging Art, Minor Mastery cultivation. Cost: 2,500,000 origin energy. Remaining origin energy: 9,849,857 points…】

In the blink of an eye, another three million origin energy was spent.

Su Xing’s reserve of origin energy had shrunk by a significant margin once again.

However, the strength gained from nearly nine hundred years of arduous cultivation in this simulation was absolutely worth it!

Su Xing’s physical power surged threefold in a short span of time!

At this moment, an invisible force appeared around Su Xing’s physical body… This was different from primordial energy. It was an entirely new kind of power — the battle domain!

Having pushed his physical body to the extreme, Su Xing felt as though he could rip the sun from the sky with his bare hands!

This was no illusion. The current Su Xing could truly do it!

And that battle domain would allow Su Xing to maintain the upper hand against the alien races even when fighting in the void…

“And also, the Spirit Domain advancement!”

“Ten thousand zhang (33.3 km) Spirit Domain… I’ve finally achieved it!”

Su Xing gently closed his eyes, carefully sensing the changes in his Spirit Domain.

At this moment, Su Xing’s Spirit Domain was right at a certain critical threshold.

As long as he took one more step forward, he could complete the tremendous transformation from quantitative change to qualitative change!

“The distance to Golden Immortal-level power… is getting closer and closer!”

“In the next simulation, perhaps I’ll be able to defeat that second-rank Divine Sovereign head-on!”

Su Xing took a deep breath and looked at his remaining two simulation attempts.

He said decisively:

“Begin simulation!”

【The 138th simulation begins. Current remaining origin energy: 9,849,857 points… Remaining simulation attempts: 1.】

【Simulation starts!】

【Drawing a gold legendary talent costs 1 point of origin energy. Draw?】

“Yes!”

【Ding, congratulations on obtaining a mythical-grade red talent, Xenomorph… Next gold talent draw probability: 80%…】

【Xenomorph】: Mythical-grade red talent. With boundless might, transform yourself. After possessing this talent, you may choose to activate “Xenomorph Mode” and become a member of the alien race. Whether in terms of life essence, power, or divine soul, you will completely become a member of the “alien race.” Even a sage would be unable to detect any flaw!

“Huh? Holy shit!”

“A mythical-grade red talent… what the hell is this?”

Su Xing’s eyes went wide. This was the second mythical-grade talent he had obtained!

No, strictly speaking, this was the first red talent Su Xing had actually drawn… After all, the previous Five Elements Holy Physique had been formed through the fusion of five gold talents.

“A five percent chance… and I actually hit it!”

Su Xing took a deep breath, calmed the excitement in his heart, then carefully read through the description of his newly drawn talent.

“The Xenomorph talent… seems like it just lets me perfectly transform into a member of the alien race!”

“I just don’t know exactly how this transformation works?”

Su Xing rubbed his chin, constantly pondering the benefits of becoming an alien…

First, by becoming an alien, the simulated future would have far more uncertainty.

The human race was weak, while the alien race had risen to prominence… If he only cultivated among the human race, or merely trained behind closed doors, he might not be able to extract useful experience from the alien race.

If Su Xing cultivated steadily, smooth as still water, perhaps achieving Great Firmament Golden Immortal wouldn’t be difficult.

At most, it would only take a hundred years or so…

But even after becoming a Great Firmament Golden Immortal, then what?

Though Great Firmament Golden Immortals were few in this world, they weren’t nonexistent.

Powerful as the White Emperor, Qingyunzi, the Luotian Ancestor… even the Celestial Secrets Pavilion Master — all of them were Great Firmament, yet weren’t they still unable to drive out the alien race and restore peace to the Three Thousand Worlds?

Su Xing considered himself to have a solid foundation, and after cultivating to Great Firmament, he wouldn’t necessarily be weaker than them!

But if this era merely gained one more Great Firmament Golden Immortal… it seemed like it wouldn’t change anything!

“But in the simulation… becoming a member of the alien race seems like it would be a new kind of attempt!”

Su Xing murmured.

Beyond that, Su Xing currently — and indeed all cultivators across the entire Three Thousand Worlds — knew very little about the alien race.

Where did they come from? And exactly how much power did they possess?

Su Xing had no way of knowing…

But if Su Xing could become a member of the alien race and infiltrate the alien leadership!

Wouldn’t that mean… he could learn far more intelligence!

Countless simulations of the future had told Su Xing…

Intelligence was what mattered most to him!

“Also, by becoming part of the alien race… perhaps I could simulate for longer? And then… I’d be able to learn more about the changes in the Three Thousand Worlds?”

Su Xing continued to ponder.

Though his current power was approaching Golden Immortal level, facing such a terrifying alien race, along with the Advent Cult lurking in the shadows…

Even a Supreme Unity Golden Immortal might not be able to guarantee their own safety.

But if Su Xing transformed into an alien form… one that even a sage couldn’t distinguish…

Then at the very least, Su Xing wouldn’t be assassinated by the Advent Cult, and perhaps he could simulate for a longer time!

“Phew… this Xenomorph talent, regardless of whether I actually use it… even just having more possibilities for the future makes it worthwhile!”

Su Xing was extremely interested in this new talent.

He just didn’t know… exactly how this talent should be used?

“This simulation… perhaps I should try out how to use this new talent!”

Su Xing thought to himself, though he wasn’t in a rush to use the Xenomorph talent just yet.

What Su Xing wanted to do right now was to first advance the Great Dao of Speed into the fifth realm as quickly as possible!

His gaze turned to the simulation panel!

【Ding, please select the enhancement target for the Plus One talent…】

“I choose to enhance the Late Bloomer talent…”

【In the spirit field grotto-heaven, you became aware that you were in a simulation.】

【You made a trip to the Celestial Secrets Pavilion and reported the matter of Red Moon…】

【Afterward, you returned to Earth and evacuated most of the human race from Earth…】

【Year 5: The Celestial Secrets Pavilion dispatched two Supreme Unity Golden Immortals to Earth to investigate.】

【Year 10: The two Supreme Unity Golden Immortals returned gravely wounded. The alien race seized this opportunity to launch a massive invasion of the Azure Origin Domain…】

【You made a trip to the Azure Cloud Sect and obtained two cups of Dao-Enlightenment Tea…】

【Over the following decades, you retrieved all of the Luotian Sect’s legacies throughout the entire Azure Origin Domain, one by one…】

【Time quickly arrived at Year 80…】

【This year, you traveled to the Nine Heavens Domain and reached the Fifth Heaven…】

In the Real World, Su Xing’s heart stirred upon seeing this, and he silently said:

“Use immersive simulation, duration seventy years!”

【Ding… Remaining origin energy: 9,824,307 points…】

Su Xing’s vision shifted and changed, and he quickly appeared within a certain Secret Realm in the Fifth Heaven.

Looking at the already-brewed Dao-Enlightenment Tea in his hands, Su Xing took a deep breath and said:

“Great Dao of Speed, it’s time to advance to the fifth realm!”

With that, Su Xing unhesitatingly drank every last drop of the Dao-Enlightenment Tea in the cup.

Feeling the tremendous enhancement to his comprehension, Su Xing utilized the Dao essence treasure and began contemplating the Great Dao of Speed.

…

In the blink of an eye, fifty years had passed!

One day, Su Xing emerged from his contemplation. Sensing the dense Dao essence surrounding his body, his eyes were filled with boundless excitement.

“The Great Dao of Speed has finally entered the fifth realm!”

Over several consecutive simulations, Su Xing had gone all-in, investing every cup of Dao-Enlightenment Tea into comprehending the Great Dao of Speed!

Now he had finally reaped the results!

The Great Dao of Speed had entered the fifth realm — the Threshold of Mastery!

“Now, in terms of escape speed, I’ve finally reached Golden Immortal level! Perhaps… even faster than an ordinary Golden Immortal!”

Su Xing’s heart stirred, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, shooting into the distance.

After carefully experiencing the increase in speed, Su Xing nodded with satisfaction.

“My speed… after entering the fifth realm, it actually doubled!”

“Now, crossing the entire Endless Sea… would probably only take about ten years?”

“Moreover, the Great Dao of Speed is also an extremely practical combat-type Great Dao! In actual battle, my power will see a tremendous boost!”

“Once the Great Shaman Body Forging Art formally reaches Major Mastery at the fifth layer… I’ll truly possess Golden Immortal-level combat power!”

Su Xing was brimming with excitement. Though it was merely a breakthrough from Perfection at the fourth layer to the fifth layer, the difference was like heaven and earth!

“The Dao-Enlightenment Tea still has four years of effect remaining, and the Inevitable Epiphany and Dao-Hearing Pill haven’t been used yet. Perhaps I can apply them to comprehending the Spirit Domain…”

“And the immersive simulation still has over twenty years left… It seems it’s time to explore the Sixth Heaven!”

Su Xing raised his head, gazing at the layers upon layers of mist above.

If before, Su Xing had only had an eighty percent chance of successfully reaching the Sixth Heaven…

Then now, with the Great Dao of Speed having successfully entered the fifth realm, he had at least a ninety-eight percent chance or higher!

As for that two percent risk… Su Xing felt it was acceptable!

“Then, let’s go to the Sixth Heaven and take a look!”

Su Xing’s heart stirred as he released his Protective Sword Aura to shield himself on all sides, then took a single step forward, crossing ten thousand li (5,000 km) in an instant.

From afar, Su Xing appeared as a streak of light, rapidly approaching the Sixth Heaven.

…

After an unknown amount of time, an invisible wall of energy appeared before Su Xing.

“After crossing this barrier, I should be able to reach the Sixth Heaven…”

Su Xing attempted to approach the invisible energy wall, but felt an external force pushing him away.

After several consecutive attempts, Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly.

“This barrier… it seems somewhat similar to the scene when I first entered the Primordial Void Realm… Perhaps sufficient force is needed to break through this energy wall?”

Su Xing thought it over. His strongest strike right now should be the “Void Sword” — the technique he had comprehended after observing the White Emperor’s sword strike!

Only that single sword could barely be considered Golden Immortal realm in power!

“Then, let’s give it a try!”

Su Xing took a deep breath as sword intent continuously gathered throughout his entire body.

Finally, that silver sword strike — a thousand li (500 km) of sword aura — slashed toward the energy wall barrier before him!

As the sword was unleashed, this heaven-destroying, earth-shattering offensive collided with the energy wall, yet seemed to be suppressed by half.

On the transparent energy wall, ripples spread outward like waves across water.

Just as Su Xing was puzzled, a temporary passage — just wide enough for one person — appeared before him.

Seeing this passage, Su Xing understood immediately.

“So that’s how it is. One must unleash Golden Immortal-level power… to enter the Sixth Heaven?”

“That’s certainly different from before…”

Su Xing nodded slightly. Seeing that the passage was about to close, he stepped through without hesitation.

…

Passing through the invisible energy wall, Su Xing felt as though he had entered an entirely new world!

What met his eyes was no longer layers of mist.

Nor was it one Secret Realm after another waiting to be explored…

This was a ruined battlefield!

Ruins and rubble lay everywhere!

In the distance, mountains a hundred thousand zhang (333 km) tall had toppled… Dried-up rivers, a thousand zhang (3.33 km) wide, formed cracked fissures across the ground.

In the sky, there was no sun!

Yet somehow, everything here was clearly visible…

This place was saturated with the aura of slaughter and war, yet devoid of life — like an absolute dead zone…

And those enormous bones — half buried in the earth, but the portion still exposed above ground was as massive as a mountain, striking awe into the heart.

Su Xing gazed upon the Sixth Heaven’s landscape, silent for a long time, before finally speaking:

“This place… it really is an ancient battlefield, isn’t it?”

“So only those at Golden Immortal realm and above can enter the Sixth Heaven and learn the true secrets of the Nine Heavens Domain?”

Su Xing looked at everything around him. The post-war devastation sent chills through his heart.

What kind of immense power had clashed to produce such a scene?

Just as Su Xing was pondering, his divine sense suddenly detected two auras rapidly approaching.

They seemed to be two Golden Immortal cultivators!

Su Xing’s expression shifted slightly. He didn’t know the newcomers’ intentions, but they had presumably sensed a newcomer’s entry.

“There’s no need to meet these Golden Immortals just yet…”

Su Xing shook his head and decided to explore the Sixth Heaven on his own.

With that thought, Su Xing transformed into a streak of light and fled into the distance at full speed.

Along the way, the scenery of the Sixth Heaven remained just as staggering!

That great battle — who knows how long ago it had occurred…

Yet time seemed to have frozen.

Everything here appeared exactly as it had looked shortly after the war ended.

…

Su Xing wandered the Sixth Heaven for a full twenty years!

Twenty entire years!

And yet, even with Su Xing’s speed, he still hadn’t finished exploring it…

He didn’t even know just how vast the Sixth Heaven truly was…

“Phew… this Sixth Heaven doesn’t seem to contain any treasures or Secret Realms…”

Su Xing shook his head slightly.

If the first five heavens were filled with danger and opportunity…

Then the Sixth Heaven was like a barren world left in the aftermath of war, waiting to be developed.

There was even spiritual energy here!

But… there was no cultivation civilization!

“The Sixth Heaven… doesn’t seem worth exploring for now. Later, when the opportunity arises, perhaps I can ask the White Emperor about the Nine Heavens Domain?”

Su Xing mused thoughtfully.

“The immersive simulation is about to end…”

“But the new Xenomorph talent still hasn’t been used. Perhaps I should experiment with it a bit…”

With that thought, Su Xing attempted to activate his new talent…
