Chapter 392 – Gold Talent, Calamity Divine Physique! Source of Ten Thousand Misfortunes!
by spirapiraDirectly transforming into a Xenomorph had both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage was that Su Xing could obtain intelligence from recent years, quickly learning about the affairs of foreign races so he could formulate a response.
But the disadvantage was that it would waste a simulation opportunity, making it impossible to bring out insights and cultivation from the simulation…
“For me right now, cultivation and strength are still more important…”
“Once my energy runs low, perhaps I can simulate a few times specifically as a foreign race to obtain large amounts of intelligence…”
Su Xing mulled it over.
He had roughly six million-plus origin energy remaining, which would probably only be enough for two more simulations.
“Sigh, next up, I’ll need to find ways to acquire more origin energy again!”
“With what Earth and the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm currently provide… I’m afraid it can no longer sustain my long-term, stable cultivation…”
Su Xing made a rough estimate.
On Earth, the Tarot Society, Great Xia, and the puppet organization could provide a long-term, stable supply of origin energy.
But the total origin energy they brought in each month was only around two million.
Adding in the various metals Bai Xuan procured for Su Xing from the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, that came to roughly one million more per month.
Moreover, as Great Xia’s national treasury continued to deplete and Earth’s exotic metal dungeons were gradually mined dry,
Su Xing estimated that his future monthly origin energy would settle at around three million.
Three million origin energy was only enough for a single simulation!
And in one month’s time, Su Xing needed to simulate at least four times!
This meant that if Su Xing did nothing,
he could only guarantee enough energy for one simulation per month going forward…
“This won’t do at all!”
“I must obtain more origin energy as soon as possible. Otherwise, once I truly advance to Golden Immortal, my origin energy supply will only become even tighter!”
Su Xing sighed. He had underestimated the consumption of simulating at the Mystic Immortal realm.
If he hadn’t robbed the Advent Cult before, his origin energy would probably already be completely exhausted…
“It seems I must make a trip to other worlds!”
Su Xing murmured.
His Dao of Speed had now successfully advanced to the fifth realm, granting him terrifying escape velocity!
Traveling from Earth to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm took roughly one day.
With his Dao of Speed at the fifth realm, Su Xing now had the confidence to explore other lesser chiliocosms…
“So, it’s time to leave the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm and visit other worlds!”
Several targets quickly surfaced in Su Xing’s mind.
Near the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, there were quite a few Secret Realm treasures waiting for Su Xing to explore!
“The closest would naturally be the Black Water Realm… If I go at full speed, it should take about three days…”
“The more distant Yellow Sand Realm would require around ten days…”
“As for the Star Realm, it would take at least a month!”
After estimating, Su Xing decided to first head to the Black Water Realm and retrieve a portion of the Luotian Sect’s inheritance.
Then he would proceed to the Yellow Sand Realm and claim Yellow Sand Daoist’s inheritance…
“With these two inheritances, I should be able to convert quite a bit of origin energy, right?”
Su Xing thought to himself.
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Xing reached out and tore open a deep void passage, then piloted the Star-Moon Shuttle toward the Black Water Realm…
…
Three days later, in the Black Water Realm, at the bottom of a sea ten thousand miles deep.
Su Xing gazed at the concealment formation before him and dispersed it with a casual wave of his hand.
Entering the cave with ease, Su Xing began taking inventory of the Luotian Sect inheritance stored within.
“High-grade spirit liquid, roughly five million drops remaining…”
“Various treasures ranging from magical artifacts to immortal treasure embryos… over three thousand pieces in total!”
“Eight million high-grade spirit stones… countless materials and metals!”
“Over a hundred jade slips of Luotian Sect cultivation techniques…”
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing looked at the small black banner in his hand and smiled:
“And this most precious supreme post-celestial treasure, the Black Water Banner…”
In just three days, Su Xing had traveled from the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm to the Black Water Realm and claimed this Luotian inheritance.
“Most of the materials and techniques in this Luotian inheritance are useful. I can only select the portions I don’t need and convert those into origin energy!”
Su Xing murmured, looking at the Black Water Banner in his hand.
He naturally wouldn’t convert all the inheritance items into origin energy.
After all, that would be far too wasteful!
Converting only the unneeded materials and metals into origin energy was the wisest approach.
As for the spiritual treasures and cultivation techniques… even selling them to sects or independent cultivators and then purchasing Spirit Iron and other metals would yield at least a tenfold profit margin.
Wasn’t that much better?
And so, Su Xing spent a good while picking and choosing, selecting the metals and materials he deemed worthless or of little use. Then, with a thought—
The simulator’s Chime sounded in his ears.
【Ding, large quantity of origin energy detected. Total: 967,653 points… Absorb?】
From one cache of Luotian Sect inheritance, after setting aside what was useful, the remainder was worth only about a million origin energy.
“Sigh, it’s not exactly getting rich overnight, but a million origin energy is nothing to scoff at—it’s equivalent to one layer of the Mystic Immortal realm!”
Su Xing absorbed the origin energy but didn’t rush to leave the Black Water Realm.
Instead, a thought occurred to him:
“Come to think of it, the Black Water Realm is also a lesser world. Although there aren’t many high-level cultivators, this world might have some valuable specialty products worth seeking out!”
With that thought, Su Xing’s figure vanished from the sea floor ten thousand miles deep.
Moments later, an unremarkable middle-aged man appeared in Black Water City.
…
The Black Water Realm was ninety-nine percent covered by ocean.
Even so, the cultivators of the Black Water Realm had established their own cultivation civilization on the limited landmass available.
Among their settlements, Black Water City was the largest cultivator city in the Black Water Realm, and also the location of the Black Water Sect’s headquarters.
Su Xing strolled casually along the main street of Black Water City, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the surrounding stalls and vendors.
He appeared to be leisurely browsing, but was actually searching for anything of value.
Over the next day, Su Xing did find quite a few ores and curiosities of relatively high value.
However, none of these rare resources could be mass-produced, which left Su Xing somewhat disappointed.
That is, until he entered the largest trading house in Black Water City, where Su Xing’s attention was quickly drawn to a transparent glass bottle.
The bottle was about palm-sized and contained a black liquid that looked like cola.
But to Su Xing’s senses, this black liquid seemed rather interesting.
“Shopkeeper, how much for this bottle of black liquid?”
Su Xing picked up the black glass bottle and asked casually.
The plump, pale-skinned old man with a perfectly trimmed handlebar mustache smiled warmly upon hearing the question:
“My dear fellow Daoist, you truly have an excellent eye…”
“Our Black Water Trading House’s signature product is precisely the dark water you hold in your hand… This dark water is of extremely high quality—you won’t easily find it at other trading houses!”
Under the shopkeeper’s introduction, Su Xing quickly learned the origin of the liquid in his hand.
This water was called dark water, also known as black water.
It was a famous specialty of the Black Water Realm…
Though small in volume, each drop was incredibly heavy, weighing as much as a thousand catties!
Legend had it that this dark water was harvested from the sea floor ten thousand miles deep, nurtured by the dense water-attribute spiritual energy combined with the unique properties of the Black Water Realm itself, giving birth to this precious substance.
It was highly favored by water-attribute cultivators.
This dark water could not only serve as a material for artifact refinement… but also amplify supernatural arts and techniques, unleashing formidable power!
Su Xing looked at the dark water in his hand, recalling the Black Water Realm heretic cultivator he had encountered at the blood seedling gathering.
That heretic cultivator’s techniques must have involved this very dark water.
Su Xing glanced at the ethereal Chime before his eyes.
【Ding, substance containing a small amount of origin energy detected. Value: 4,932 origin energy points…】
A single palm-sized bottle of dark water was worth nearly five thousand origin energy!
Su Xing asked without betraying any emotion:
“Shopkeeper, how much do you charge per bottle of black water?”
Hearing Su Xing inquire about the price, the shopkeeper’s smile grew even wider as he eagerly replied:
“My dear fellow Daoist, this black water may look small… but when combined with supernatural arts, it’s comparable to mighty rivers and great lakes!”
“A single bottle of black water is only fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones. I wonder if…”
One bottle of black water was worth nearly five thousand origin energy, priced at fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones… That wasn’t expensive at all!
When Su Xing purchased Iron Essence to convert into origin energy, the exchange rate was roughly eight to one.
Eight high-grade spirit stones per point of origin energy.
This black water was slightly more expensive per unit, but the value ratio was still quite good.
So Su Xing said straightforwardly:
“I want to purchase ten thousand bottles of this dark water. Do you have that many?”
“How many!?” The shopkeeper’s voice suddenly spiked, nearly biting off his own tongue.
“Haha, fellow Daoist, you really do enjoy your jokes… Ten thousand bottles of dark water—are you pulling my leg?”
Su Xing didn’t bother with more words and asked directly:
“Then what’s the maximum amount of dark water you have here?”
Seeing that Su Xing’s tone was serious, the shopkeeper thought for a moment before answering:
“Give me three days, and I can gather two hundred bottles of black water. That would already be half a year’s production for all of Black Water City…”
Two hundred bottles of dark water… worth one million origin energy.
Not a lot, but not bad either.
With that in mind, Su Xing tossed down a bag of spirit stones and said:
“Here’s one million high-grade spirit stones as a deposit… I’ll come collect two hundred bottles of dark water in three days.”
With that, Su Xing left the shop.
…
Three days later, Su Xing successfully obtained two hundred bottles of dark water and converted them into approximately one million origin energy.
After finishing this, Su Xing departed from the Black Water Realm.
Su Xing chose not to establish an ongoing partnership with the Black Water City trading house.
For one, although dark water was quite valuable, its production was far too low.
In half a year’s time, it produced roughly two hundred bottles of black water… which amounted to only one million origin energy.
That efficiency was far inferior to his trades in the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm and on Earth. There was absolutely no need for Su Xing to invest effort here.
At most, he’d purchase some whenever he happened to pass through the Black Water Realm in the future.
After procuring the dark water, Su Xing piloted the Star-Moon Shuttle and headed toward the Yellow Sand Realm.
…
Ten days later, in the Yellow Sand Realm’s main city, Yellow Sand City.
Su Xing wore a plain, simple robe and a sand-shielding bamboo hat, blending in among the crowds of Yellow Sand City.
“Finally, I’ve arrived at Yellow Sand City…”
“Beneath this Yellow Sand City lies the inheritance of Yellow Sand Daoist!”
“Hundreds of millions of spirit stones… hundreds of millions of high-grade spirit liquid drops, tens of millions of supreme-grade spirit liquid drops!”
“The entire fortune of a cultivator who nearly reached the Golden Immortal realm—it’s all down there…”
Although Su Xing now possessed Golden Immortal-level strength, surpassing the Yellow Sand Daoist of old,
the inheritance still contained things Su Xing needed—whether it was the Five Elements Soil or the massive quantities of spirit stones and spirit liquid.
Without alerting anyone, Su Xing employed his movement technique and burrowed underground.
Moments later, Su Xing arrived at the Yellow Sand Palace.
This palace that concealed Yellow Sand Daoist’s wealth accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years.
With Su Xing’s current strength, the layers of trials Yellow Sand Daoist had set up were nothing more than decorations.
After claiming everything from both treasure vaults—not even sparing the spiritual soil on the ground—Su Xing left the Yellow Sand Palace.
…
Half a day later, inside the spirit field grotto-heaven, Su Xing took stock of his haul.
The inheritance left behind by Yellow Sand Daoist was vastly richer than any single cache of the Luotian inheritance!
At minimum, it was equivalent to five or six Luotian inheritance caches combined…
The high-grade spirit liquid alone numbered in the hundreds of millions of drops!
High-grade spirit stones also numbered in the hundreds of millions!
Countless rare materials and spiritual treasures…
After claiming this inheritance, Su Xing’s net worth had suddenly multiplied tenfold, if not more!
This was, in the truest sense of the word, getting rich overnight!
“Yellow Sand Daoist’s legacy really is remarkable!”
“Now, with hundreds of millions of high-grade spirit stones in hand… my wealth is on par with even a Golden Immortal’s!”
Su Xing blinked, quite satisfied.
Previously, though Su Xing had been extravagantly wealthy inside simulations, in reality he hadn’t possessed much spirit liquid or spirit stones.
Even the spirit stones and spirit liquid he’d earned from selling intelligence and gathering resources in the Spirit Clan ancestral grounds had mostly been spent purchasing various resources and converting them into origin energy.
But now, having successively claimed two inheritances, his reserves and wealth had grown enormously!
In the real world, Su Xing now had much more room to maneuver and could acquire even more origin energy!
“Tsk tsk, when it comes down to it, this is all thanks to the improvement in my escape speed!”
“With the Dao of Speed at the fifth realm, my travel speed has multiplied several times over… Otherwise, a single trip to the Yellow Sand Realm would have taken three months—I absolutely wouldn’t have been able to spare the time…”
If Su Xing wished, he could even make another trip to the Star Realm and acquire enough Star Stones there to convert into origin energy!
But traveling to the Star Realm required over a month, and after presenting the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method, it would likely take the Star Realm tribes considerable time to gather the Star Stones as well.
“Still, the unneeded items from Yellow Sand Daoist’s inheritance are quite valuable in their own right!”
Su Xing converted some of the resources from Yellow Sand Daoist’s inheritance into origin energy, gaining another explosive increase of two million!
Now, Su Xing’s total origin energy had finally broken through ten million once again!
From the time Su Xing departed the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm for the Yellow Sand Realm, roughly twenty-some days had passed in total.
At this moment, Su Xing still had three simulation attempts remaining!
“By my calculations, it’s about time for a new simulation!”
Su Xing murmured, his gaze falling upon the simulation panel.
“Three simulations will definitely allow my strength to climb another major level!”
On June 8th of New Era 2026, Su Xing began a new round of simulation.
“Begin simulation!”
“Begin simulation!”
【141st simulation initiated. Current remaining origin energy: 10,224,192 points… Remaining simulation attempts: 2.】
【Simulation begins!】
【Drawing a gold legendary talent costs 1 origin energy point. Draw?】
“Yes!”
【Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained Calamity Divine Physique… Probability of drawing a gold talent next time: 80%…】
【Calamity Divine Physique】: Gold talent. One of the Hundred Great Divine Physiques. With this physique, you become a walking source of calamity in the mortal world—everything that comes into contact with you will suffer misfortune because of you. (Warning: This talent is extremely terrifying and has exceeded the scope of gold talents. Please use with caution!)
“Holy crap, this talent…”
The moment he saw this new talent, Su Xing bared his teeth.
Calamity Divine Physique!
This damn thing was rumored to be a terrifying physique capable of destroying an entire lesser chiliocosm through sheer personal misfortune alone!
Legend had it that tens of thousands of years ago, a Calamity Divine Physique had once appeared.
That Calamity Divine Physique had merely been at Spirit Transformation cultivation, yet it unleashed such terrifying misfortune that an entire world was ultimately brought to ruin!
It was a gold talent, and the description that followed had already made clear just how terrifying this misfortune talent was!
Su Xing’s previous “I Can’t Be the Only Unlucky One” had already been extremely terrifying—let alone a gold-tier misfortune ability?
“Damn it, looks like this time I’ll have no choice but to transform into a Xenomorph…”
Su Xing felt a headache coming on.
If he maintained his human race form, forget about cultivating… Su Xing would likely single-handedly affect the entire human race’s karmic fortune!
“Sigh, let’s just see how terrifying this Misfortune Talent really is.”
Su Xing’s gaze turned to the simulation panel.
【In the Yellow Sand Realm, within the spirit field grotto-heaven, you become aware that you are in a simulation.】
【You leave the Yellow Sand Palace and arrive in Yellow Sand City, preparing to leave this realm.】
【Just then, in the distance beyond the city walls, a terrifying sandstorm suddenly erupts, rising tens of thousands of meters high…】
【This sandstorm is a catastrophic disaster that occurs only once every thousand years in the Yellow Sand Realm. The fierce gales it contains—let alone ordinary people—even immortals would find impossible to resist!】
【Under this terrifying disaster, the cultivators of Yellow Sand City desperately fight to hold it back, but ultimately suffer devastating casualties…】
【You fly tens of thousands of meters above in the sky, the corners of your mouth twitching. In the end, you choose to leave this realm.】
【After leaving the Yellow Sand Realm, you head to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】
【You don’t dare linger in the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, and quickly pass along information about Red Moon…】
【Next, you prepare to return to Earth to relocate the human race…】
【However, the moment you enter Earth, you sense a terrifying aura fixing its gaze upon you!】
【It’s Red Moon…】
【Without the slightest hesitation, you leave Earth and flee into the void…】
【You pilot the Star-Moon Shuttle toward the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】
【In the past, your luck was always good, and your voyages went smoothly.】
【But this time, on your return journey, you encounter no fewer than three Strange Voidbeasts…】
【You make contact with the Azure Cloud Sect and conduct a trade with Qingyunzi…】
【After obtaining Dao-Enlightenment Tea, you waste no time and immediately head for the Nine Heavens Domain…】
【Year 10: You remain in the Nine Heavens Domain cultivating, and your cultivation shows slight improvement.】
【Year 15: The Secret Realm you are staying in is invaded by ferocious beasts. You battle the beasts and ultimately destroy the Secret Realm, forcing you to find a new location for secluded cultivation…】
【Year 20: You suffer another ferocious beast invasion…】
【Year 30…】
【Year 50: Consecutive periods of secluded cultivation disrupted by ferocious beasts have drastically slowed your cultivation speed. Your cultivation remains far from Mystic Immortal Fifth Layer mid-stage…】
【Over the next thirty years, you encounter several attacks within the Fifth Heaven’s Secret Realms.】
【At your most unlucky, you even encounter a ferocious beast at the Golden Immortal realm. You battle it for several years before barely managing to slay it…】
【But fortunately, your cultivation is formidable, and you manage to survive.】
【Year 80: You find a relatively safe Secret Realm for secluded cultivation, preparing to comprehend the Great Dao…】
In the Real World, Su Xing couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth as he read this.
This simulation really was unlucky.
Not only did he encounter so many beast attacks in the void, but even the Yellow Sand Realm suffered misfortune because of Su Xing.
And in the Nine Heavens Domain, his secluded cultivation was interrupted multiple times by demonic beasts…
This was something Su Xing had never encountered before.
“Sigh, at least there’s no danger to my life… This is probably the effect after being moderated by the Heaven-Sent Fortune talent…”
“Otherwise, with just this Calamity Divine Physique alone, I wouldn’t have been able to take a single step in this simulation!”
After a pause, Su Xing continued:
“This simulation… trying to improve my cultivation significantly is probably unrealistic…”
“If I joined the Celestial Secrets Pavilion, I’d only be bringing disaster upon them…”
“Being able to bring back Great Dao insights would already be good enough…”
Su Xing had already decided: after bringing back Great Dao insights, he would transform into a foreign race and carry this misfortune right into the midst of the alien races!
Just thinking about it was rather thrilling!
With that thought, Su Xing silently intoned:
“Use immersive simulation, duration: seventy years…”
【Ding! You have spent 25,550 origin energy points. Remaining origin energy: 10,198,642 points…】
As the Chime faded, Su Xing’s consciousness entered the simulated world.
For this simulation, Su Xing once again focused on comprehending the Five Elements Dao!
…
Soon, seventy years of immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to reality.
Rubbing the spot between his brows, Su Xing’s eyes carried a trace of weariness.
“This immersive simulation… was truly unlucky!”
Su Xing was somewhat speechless.
In a mere seventy years, Su Xing had suffered no fewer than ten ferocious beast attacks.
Over those seventy years, Su Xing had changed Secret Realms more than ten times.
He had barely managed to consume all three cups of Dao-Enlightenment Tea…
As for finding Secret Realms and treasures?
Forget it—he couldn’t find any at all!
And this was in the sparsely populated Nine Heavens Domain…
If he appeared in human race territory, Su Xing couldn’t even imagine how much danger he’d encounter!
“Given my current situation… I probably can’t go to the Heavenly Secrets Domain!”
Su Xing shook his head slightly.
Reaching the Heavenly Secrets Domain required passing through the Endless Sea.
Even though Su Xing possessed Golden Immortal-level strength, if he encountered danger in the Endless Sea, the odds would likely be against him.
Previously, with Heaven-Sent Fortune blessing him, he wouldn’t encounter Strange Voidbeasts comparable to Supreme Unity Golden Immortals—but this time, that was no longer guaranteed.
“Looks like I need to find a safe place… and prepare to transform into a Xenomorph!”
Su Xing mulled it over. Transforming into a Xenomorph and wreaking havoc among the alien races was the better choice.
His gaze turned to the simulation panel.
【Year 150: After more than seventy years of secluded cultivation, your comprehension of the Five Elements Dao advances further, barely reaching the fourth realm Major Mastery…】
【You gather the blood essences you previously collected and head to a lesser chiliocosm currently under invasion by alien races.】
【Year 160: You arrive at the Linlan Realm. This lesser chiliocosm has already been more than half overrun by alien races. Following its original trajectory, the alien races would completely conquer this realm.】
【You find a safe cave dwelling, set up restrictive formations, and prepare to transform into a Xenomorph…】
In the Real World, Su Xing pondered this for a moment.
“I wonder if the Calamity Divine Physique talent can carry over to the Xenomorph body…”
“The flame demon and Shadow Tribe seem to have five fixed talents. Now, only the Lesser Demon remains untested!”
Compared to the previous two races, Su Xing had great expectations for the Lesser Demon.
After all, the race’s description clearly stated that while its starting point was extremely weak, its potential ceiling was very high!
Furthermore, since Su Xing wanted to carry the Calamity Divine Physique over, he naturally had to try this last Xenomorph race.
As for being weak in the early stages…
Su Xing had come well-prepared for this simulation. He had blood essences ranging from Bronze-stage all the way to Divine Sovereign-level—more than enough for the Lesser Demon to break through!
With that thought, Su Xing attempted to transform into a Lesser Demon.
Immediately, a series of notifications flashed across the panel.
【Ding! Detected that you are transforming into a Lesser Demon Tribe Xenomorph…】
【Clearing strength… Temporarily restructuring divine soul and physical body…】
【Ding! Detected that most of your original talents are incompatible. Converting applicable talents to match this body…】
【Your talent Late Bloomer: partial abilities retained…】
【Your talent Unkillable Cockroach: partial abilities retained…】
【Talent Heaven-Sent Fortune: partial abilities retained…】
【Your talent Heaven Devourer is extremely compatible with the Lesser Demon Tribe. An unknown transformation has occurred, and the talent’s power has been further enhanced…】
【Your talent Calamity Divine Physique is extremely compatible with the Lesser Demon Tribe. The talent’s power has been retained to the maximum degree…】
【The Lesser Demon Tribe—born of baseness. Within their weak bodies lies terrifying misfortune and potential, waiting for you to unearth…】
One notification after another appeared before Su Xing’s eyes.
Su Xing scanned them and an intrigued expression crossed his face.
“Late Bloomer, Cockroach, and Heaven-Sent Fortune talents were all retained… but I never expected the Lesser Demon Tribe to be so compatible with both Heaven Devourer and Calamity Divine Physique!”
Su Xing pondered for a moment.
The Lesser Demon Tribe had extremely weak initial strength, but their potential for growth through devouring was immense—so the enhancement of the Heaven Devourer talent wasn’t surprising.
But the Calamity Divine Physique talent…
“Well, among the myriad races of the alien realm, the Lesser Demon is truly the weakest of them all… Being reborn into the Lesser Demon Tribe really does count as bad luck!”
Su Xing nodded, accepting this setting.
“So next, I need to raise my strength and find a way to infiltrate the alien army…”
His previous two Xenomorph transformations had both taken place in the Heavenly Secrets Domain.
Su Xing was still very interested in the future developments of the Azure Origin Domain.
His gaze turned to the simulation panel.
【Year 151: In the Linlan Realm, a lowly Lesser Demon is born.】
【This weak Lesser Demon is you!】
【A newborn Lesser Demon is extremely weak, not even comparable to a seven or eight-year-old child.】
【But fortunately, you prepared sufficient blood essences in advance. You begin devouring blood essences…】
【The Lesser Demon is pitch-black all over, standing no more than three chi (99.9 cm) tall, yet its appetite and digestive capacity are astonishingly terrifying!】
【And with the Heaven Devourer talent’s enhancement, you become the most unique Lesser Demon—capable of easily digesting blood essences two or three ranks above your own…】
【In one month, you devour several hundred jin of Bronze-stage blood essence and advance to a Bronze-stage Lesser Demon.】
【Three months later, you devour a thousand jin (500 kg) of Silver-stage blood essence and advance to a Silver-stage Lesser Demon…】
【…】
【Year 155: After several years of feeding, with the Heaven Devourer’s enhancement, you successfully become a Grandmaster-stage Lesser Demon!】
【A Grandmaster-stage Lesser Demon is already a one-in-ten-thousand elite among the Lesser Demon Tribe…】
【But as it happens, despite being a Grandmaster-stage Lesser Demon, you possess not a single innate talent. In terms of combat power, you’re not even a match for some Master-stage Class Users.】
【Having the realm but not the strength is clearly unacceptable…】
【So you rely on your own comprehension ability and begin trying to develop new talents.】
【In the blink of an eye, five years pass…】
【Year 160: Through your tireless efforts, you successfully comprehend your first talent—Petrified Skin!】
【You discover that the Lesser Demon Tribe, despite being extremely weak and lacking innate talents… possesses extraordinary malleability and can comprehend any type of talent!】
【The comprehension of the Petrified Skin talent grants you formidable defense and survivability.】
【Year 165: Having devoured even more blood essences, you finally advance to a Heavenly King-stage Lesser Demon!】
【Year 167: You devour blood essences too quickly and nearly choke to death… But fortunately, with great luck you discover a hidden dark water spring in the cave dwelling. You frantically gulp down several mouthfuls and barely cling to life…】
In the Real World, Su Xing’s mouth twitched at this.
A mighty Heavenly King-stage Lesser Demon—its strength shouldn’t be considered weak by any measure, right?
Among the Lesser Demon Tribe, it would at the very least be a powerhouse that dominated an entire region…
And it nearly choked to death from eating meat too fast?
“Damn… this Calamity Divine Physique talent really is unlucky!”
Su Xing grumbled for a bit.
But this Xenomorph simulation also revealed the Lesser Demon Tribe’s advantages to Su Xing.
“The Lesser Demon Tribe may be somewhat weak in combat power, with a low starting point… but their rate of strength improvement doesn’t seem slow at all. It’s even faster than the Flame Demon Race…”
“Most crucially, alien races typically only have a single talent—like the Flame Demon Tribe’s affinity for fire… or the Shadow Tribe’s affinity for space and speed…”
“But the Lesser Demon seems capable of developing in all directions!”
Su Xing stroked his chin. If the Lesser Demon Tribe could be raised to a high realm, it might have tremendous potential.
However, among the alien races, despite the Lesser Demon Tribe’s large numbers, they were all cannon fodder.
Those who could cultivate to the Heavenly King level were one in ten thousand…
As for a Lesser Demon achieving godhood—Su Xing had never encountered that!
“Perhaps I’ll become the first Lesser Demon to set foot in the divine temple?”
A hint of anticipation stirred in Su Xing’s heart.
After all, the Xenomorph’s strength could be saved directly without costing origin energy.
Every simulation was pure profit. Su Xing felt absolutely no pressure.
“But after reaching Heavenly King-level strength, shouldn’t I be able to explore the Linlan Realm?”
Su Xing considered for a moment, then turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
【Year 170: After breaking through to the Heavenly King level, you decide to leave this cave dwelling where you’ve lived for decades and go see the outside world…】
【Because you cannot use storage artifacts, you can only hide most of your blood essences in the cave dwelling, planning to return and devour them when you have time.】
【A few months after leaving the cave dwelling, you encounter a small alien squad.】
【The captain of this alien squad is an Emperor-level Twin-Horned Demon.】
【Clearly, he is quite interested in a Lesser Demon that managed to advance to the Heavenly King level…】
【And so, he takes you into his squad.】
【Seven days later, this alien squad is jointly slain by passing Body Integration cultivators…】
【And you, because you had an upset stomach and went to relieve yourself in the wilderness, narrowly escape the disaster…】
