After some contemplation, Wang Ping collected his thoughts and continued to gaze at the screen.
[In the blink of an eye, the day of the opening of the Great Saint Secret Realm arrived, and you concealed your identity to enter. This time, because Ruo Lan didn't use the Celestial Mechanism Talisman, you didn't reveal your whereabouts.]
[Inside the secret realm, you obtained the True God Star Flower, which elevated your cultivation to the Fifth Stage of the True God Realm. At the same time, you successfully obtained the Sacred Medicine and returned to the Dao Palace to continue your arduous cultivation.]
[For safety reasons, you didn't pay much attention to Lin Qinghe's thoughts this time, nor did you consider going down to the lower realm to compete for the Supreme Artifacts. This time, you wanted to quickly improve your cultivation to stand a chance against Ruo Lan, the senior transmigrator.]
[In the blink of an eye, nearly fifteen hundred years passed. During this period, you had already refined the Sacred Medicine, successfully breaking through to the level of Half-Step Divine Lord. You were well aware that if you attempted to break through to the Divine Lord level, the Supreme Being on the Far Ancient Star would sense it.]
[By then, you would undoubtedly die, with no chance of survival. On top of that, there was the threat from Ruo Lan, making the situation even more dire.]
[For this reason, you consulted the Dao Palace's Palace Master, asking if he had a way to send you to other ancient stars. This surprised the Dao Palace's Palace Master, who wondered why you wanted to go to other ancient stars.]
[However, when you displayed your cultivation, indicating that you wanted to go to a remote ancient star for a safe breakthrough, the Dao Palace's Palace Master was astonished. After all, you had only been cultivating for a short while, and you had silently raised your cultivation to the Half-Step Divine Lord level and were now aiming for the Divine Lord level.]
[Immediately, the Dao Palace's Palace Master became excited, believing that you were indeed the savior of the Dao Palace, with the potential to restore its former glory. As a result, he unhesitatingly handed over the most precious and final flying artifact in the Dao Palace to you.]
[With the flying artifact and a set of coordinates in the cosmic sky, you could travel to the target ancient star and break through there.]
[However, in the vast cosmic space, there were many dangers. Without the cultivation of a Saint, relying solely on the flying artifact and your Half-Step Divine Lord cultivation was dangerous. The Dao Palace's Palace Master hoped that you would choose to break through on some of the ancient stars closer to the Far Ancient Star, not venturing too far away.]
[After agreeing to the Dao Palace's Palace Master's request, you used the flying artifact, supplemented by a large amount of divine source energy, to travel through the cosmic sky. Your departure attracted the attention of many forces on the Far Ancient Star.]
[They were puzzled as to why someone from the Dao Palace would leave the Far Ancient Star, but they didn't think too deeply about it. However, one person noticed something unusual—Ruo Lan. Ruo Lan, who was deep within the Dao Palace, might have guessed that the transmigrator seniors from the second-generation chat group would come to hunt you down.]
[For this reason, you wanted to take the opportunity to escape and get far away from the Far Ancient Star, which was perfectly normal. Thinking of this, Ruo Lan unhesitatingly used the flying artifact to chase after you.]
[In recent years, Ruo Lan had been trying to break through to the Saint level, becoming a Saint during the End of Law Era in the Far Ancient Star.]
[However, she was not worried about facing you, a junior transmigrator, with her Half-Saint cultivation. Not to mention, she also had a Supreme Artifact with her, making her unafraid.]
[While you were flying through the cosmic sky with the flying artifact, you sensed that someone was chasing you with another flying artifact. This made you furrow your brows, realizing that Ruo Lan was catching up.]
[In other words, escaping from the Far Ancient Star was meaningless. Whether you stayed on the Far Ancient Star or escaped to another place for a breakthrough, the result was the same—you would die.]
[However, you were not ready to give up just yet. You wanted to trap Ruo Lan and see if you could find a way to survive. You found a map provided by the Dao Palace's Palace Master and located an ancient star named "Purgatory Ancient Star."]
[Purgatory Ancient Star was an extremely peculiar ancient star, unsuitable for habitation and devoid of any life. It lacked the conditions for life to exist. It was filled with terrifying flames, and the fire-element energy was extremely concentrated and violent, making it a holy land for fire attribute cultivators.]
[Even in the End of Law Era when laws were no longer manifest, the law of fire would occasionally appear at specific times on Purgatory Ancient Star.]
[According to the descriptions in the map's divine texts, many factions sent their talented disciples to Purgatory Ancient Star for training. Even some Half-Saints of the fire element ventured deep into the heart of Purgatory Ancient Star, seeking to comprehend the law of fire hidden within, combined with the natural environment, to help them reach the Saint level.]
[However, this was a risky endeavor, as the Purgatory Ancient Star was an excellent place for cultivation and honing skills, but it was equally dangerous. Even a Half-Saint, let alone a Saint, could be instantly incinerated by the deep-seated flames.]
[You piloted the flying artifact and, utilizing spatial laws, warped space to increase your speed, distancing yourself from Ruo Lan. However, due to the Celestial Mechanism Talisman locking onto you, you couldn't escape Ruo Lan's grasp no matter how fast you flew.]
[Nonetheless, this action made Ruo Lan furrow her brows, not expecting you to have comprehended spatial laws. She was genuinely surprised. As a result, she became more cautious of you.]
[Several months later, you successfully entered Purgatory Ancient Star, witnessing the terrifying ancient star enveloped in crimson flames and feeling the dreadfulness of its flames.]
[Your arrival drew the attention of some cultivators on Purgatory Ancient Star, but they didn't pay too much attention. After all, it wasn't uncommon for cultivators from other ancient stars to arrive.]
[However, after you arrived and ventured deep into the sea of flames on Purgatory Ancient Star, it astonished some powerful cultivators. After all, as someone with only Half-Step Divine Lord cultivation, such actions were extremely reckless.]
[However, when they saw you guiding the flames with a perfect imitation of the Law of Fire and completely isolating the flames with
spatial laws, they were amazed. They began to think of you as a strange and powerful individual after initially dismissing you as reckless.]
[As you delved deeper into the sea of flames to cultivate, you waited for Ruo Lan to arrive. However, you didn't plan to immediately attempt breaking through to the Divine Lord level, opting to wait for her.]
[Half a month later, Ruo Lan arrived at Purgatory Ancient Star, diving directly into the sea of flames to find you and eliminate you completely.]
[However, when Ruo Lan was about to strike you down, you sneered and chose to forcefully break through to the Divine Lord level. As you initiated the breakthrough, a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation began to brew, causing Ruo Lan to quickly retreat.]
[After all, if she stayed in the Heavenly Tribulation zone, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would undoubtedly increase exponentially. If she used her Supreme Artifact, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would become strong enough to shatter Purgatory Ancient Star.]
[By then, whether it was her or the other cultivators on Purgatory Ancient Star, they would all die. Although Ruo Lan wanted to kill you, she had no intention of sacrificing herself in the process.]
[In the end, she wanted to kill you for self-preservation. If killing you meant both of you would perish, that would be foolish. As a transmigrator who had survived until now, she was not willing to engage in such a futile endeavor.]
[Seeing that Ruo Lan didn't block your actions, you turned the tables and actively charged towards her, trying to drag her into the water and use the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to kill her. Afterward, you would see if you could survive the Heavenly Tribulation using the Resurrection Talisman bug.]
[Seeing you recklessly approaching her, Ruo Lan felt her scalp tingle, cursed you as a lunatic, and immediately used her rapid-type divine ability to escape, not wanting to be drawn into the range of the Heavenly Tribulation.]
[As the Heavenly Tribulation became increasingly terrifying, you realized that you couldn't use the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to kill Ruo Lan. Instead, you had to sigh with some regret and focus on crossing the tribulation with all your might. Your Heavenly Tribulation was extremely frightening, and even you found it extremely challenging. However, your performance was still outstanding.]
[As a result, many cultivators who witnessed you crossing the tribulation were greatly impressed, recognizing that you were truly a monstrous cultivator after your reincarnation and rebirth.]
[After a long time, you successfully crossed the Heavenly Tribulation. Using the Divine Platform as the foundation, you created your own internal divine realm, truly entering the realm of Divine Lord. With this breakthrough, your combat power experienced a rapid surge.]
[Simultaneously, due to this breakthrough to the Divine Lord level and the insights gained from the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, which contained the Law of Thunder and the hidden Law of Fire within the sea of flames on Purgatory Ancient Star, you felt that with some more time in seclusion, you might be able to comprehend the Laws of Thunder and Fire.]
[While you were still pondering these insights, Ruo Lan wasted no time and launched an attack on you without hesitation, channeling her Half-Saint power towards you. As someone who was just half a step away from the Saint level and had the ability to reach the Saint level during the End of Law Era, Ruo Lan had her own opportunities. She had also cultivated the Emperor's Scripture, comprehending the Law of Gold, making her formidable and not someone you could easily challenge.]
[In response, you had no intention of directly confronting her head-on. Instead, you sneered and used spatial laws and divine abilities to evade Ruo Lan's attacks. Simultaneously, you swiftly appeared behind her.]
Chapter 191: Soaring Cultivation! Counterattacking Ruo Lan!
Afterward, you directly activated the effect of the Golden Talent: Forceful Repel and launched an attack on the senior transmigrator Ruo Lan.
As you used the Golden Talent: Forceful Repel, Ruo Lan was immediately repelled and lost control of her body. This left her extremely shocked, unable to comprehend the supernatural ability you had used, which could compensate for such a significant gap in cultivation.
Seeing herself about to be blasted into the depths of the sea of fire, feeling the deadly threat of the terrifying flames, Ruo Lan didn't hesitate to summon her Supreme Artifact. She intended to protect herself and eliminate you at the same time.
Faced with the attack from the Supreme Artifact, you had no doubt that you would be killed in one strike. However, because you had previously used the Violet Talent: Substitute Puppet to bind a demonic cultivator, the damage was redirected, and the demonic cultivator died on the spot.
You took this opportunity to escape from the area. Seeing this, Ruo Lan was both shocked and furious, but she could only seethe in helplessness. She was already deeply trapped in the heart of the sea of fire.
In this region, even Saints were in danger of falling. It could be said that even with her Supreme Artifact protecting her, she couldn't last for long and needed to escape quickly.
However, it was evident that you had no intention of giving Ruo Lan a chance. From a considerable distance away, you used spatial laws and spatial divine abilities to attack Ruo Lan across space, attempting to force her into the depths of the fire domain.
Witnessing this scene, many cultivators were astonished and couldn't understand the grudge between you two. A Half-Saint, armed with a Supreme Artifact, was pursuing a cultivator who had just broken through to the Divine Lord level. They could only speculate that this was a grudge from your previous life before reincarnation.
As you continued to attack fiercely, attempting to force Ruo Lan, the senior transmigrator, into a dire situation, a Half-Saint suddenly appeared behind you without making a sound. He launched a thunderous strike at you, leaving you on the brink of death.
Facing this unexpected attack, you were extremely shocked, not expecting to be ambushed at this moment. Seeing your surprise, the attacker, a Half-Saint with sinister intentions, wore a sly smile. He suggested that it was extravagant for a Divine Lord-level cultivator to possess two Sacred Artifacts and proposed taking custody of them.
Filled with anger and the desire to resist, you had already lost your chance. The attacker struck again, killing you. After your death, the Half-Saint began searching your body. It was at this moment that you triggered the Red Talent: Death Utterance, unleashing a terrifying blow that injured the unguarded Half-Saint.
This left him utterly bewildered, unable to comprehend what had happened. He could only curse and grumble as he grabbed your two Sacred Artifacts and fled.
Due to your Resurrection Talisman, you entered a countdown state upon your death.
Because of your death, Ruo Lan broke out of the deepest part of the sea of fire. She fixed her gaze on your falling position, setting up formations to seal off the area while relentlessly attacking. She also began monitoring your location.
Seeing Ruo Lan venting her fury on your corpse, no one dared to provoke her, and they all quickly left the area.
One hour later, you revived. At the moment of your revival, Ruo Lan had already put away her Supreme Artifact, but she still possessed formidable supernatural abilities. She immediately attempted to strike you upon your revival.
In response, you snorted and used spatial laws and spatial divine abilities to evade her attacks while gathering your strength to unleash your most potent supernatural abilities. Even though you had lost your two Sacred Artifacts, your power was still substantial.
Seeing that you did not engage in hit-and-run tactics but chose to confront her head-on, Ruo Lan sneered and began accumulating her own formidable strength, preparing to use her most powerful supernatural ability to eliminate you completely.
Shortly afterward, you initiated a teleportation first, then unleashed your most potent strike from a closer range. Meanwhile, Ruo Lan was also preparing to use her supernatural ability to strike you forcefully.
It was at this moment that you revealed a gleam in your eye and directly activated the Violet Talent: Nullification. When you used this Violet Talent, Ruo Lan's expression froze because she found herself unable to use her supernatural abilities. The accumulated power of her supernatural ability dissipated completely.
She couldn't understand why you possessed so many peculiar techniques but had to switch to a defensive stance hastily.
However, due to the rushed transition from offense to defense, her defense was undoubtedly not at its maximum, just a basic defense. In this attack, you fortuitously triggered the Violet Talent: Endless Blades' critical effect, doubling the damage.
Despite the significant gap in cultivation between you and Ruo Lan, you managed to break through her defense and inflicted substantial damage, causing her to cough up blood profusely. Even though Ruo Lan was a Half-Saint on the brink of entering the Saint realm and had comprehended the Law of Gold while cultivating the Emperor's Scripture, she was able to endure this strike without suffering severe injuries, though she appeared extremely disheveled.
Seeing this scene, you sighed inwardly, knowing that the gap in cultivation was still too vast. If your cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Divine Lord realm, the previous actions might have been enough to kill Ruo Lan, a Half-Saint.
Ruo Lan, injured by your attack, was now completely infuriated. As a powerful Half-Saint wielding a Supreme Artifact, she had been driven to such a state by you, which was somewhat embarrassing for her. As a result, Ruo Lan unleashed a secret technique, forcibly elevating her combat power to its maximum. She launched a fierce area attack towards you.
At this point, you had no way out. You could only sigh and voluntarily exit the immersive simulation.
Because you actively exited the simulation, the simulation for this round came to an end.
As the text simulation reached this point, it stopped, and various images and insights appeared in Wang Ping's mind. Finally, it settled in the midst of the fiery sea on the Purgatory Ancient Star.
"Too bad, just one move short. But it's alright; after I choose my cultivation this time and gain another layer of cultivation, it will be quite easy to kill Ruo Lan, the senior transmigrator," Wang Ping thought to himself.
Although you had almost reached the Saint realm, there was still a vast difference compared to truly becoming a Saint.
Ruo Lan, who had been injured by your attack, was now in a state of rage. As a powerful Half-Saint, she possessed a Supreme Artifact, and yet she had been beaten to this extent by you, which was somewhat humiliating for her. Consequently, Ruo Lan activated a secret technique, forcibly enhancing her combat power to the maximum. She launched a ferocious area attack towards you.
At this point, you had no way out. You could only sigh and voluntarily exit the immersive simulation.
Because you actively exited the simulation, the simulation for this round came to an end.
"Beep, reward generation successful. Host can choose two rewards from the following options:
1. Golden
Talent: Forceful Repel.
2. First layer of the Saint Realm cultivation.
3. Personal Divine Artifact (Epic Divine Artifact level).
4. Flying Saint Tool."
"System, I choose 1. Golden Talent: Forceful Repel and 2. First layer of the Saint Realm cultivation."
Wang Ping looked at the reward list and made the optimal choice.
Last time, he had to choose the incomplete map of the Emperor's Scripture related to the spatial attribute, so Wang Ping chose the incomplete map.
Now, with the enemy closing in, he needed to quickly improve his cultivation to break the deadlock. Wang Ping wouldn't hesitate any longer.
Although advancing in cultivation would consume more divine source, reducing the number of paid simulations and fewer talent refreshes, he currently had twenty thousand catties of low-grade divine source, which was quite sufficient. Increasing his cultivation was acceptable.
"Ding, reward selection successful."
The system's voice rang out.
Immediately afterward, Wang Ping felt a new talent and its usage method appear in his mind.
It was the Golden Talent: Forceful Repel.
Then, Wang Ping's cultivation began to steadily rise.
Fifth stage of the True God Realm!
Seventh stage of the True God Realm!
Ninth stage of the True God Realm!
Perfection of the True God Realm!
Half-Step Divine Lord Realm!
Until he finally stopped at the first stage of the Divine Lord Realm!
"The feeling of soaring in cultivation, even after experiencing it many times, is still captivating," Wang Ping thought, feeling the surging mana, his powerful physical body, and his even more robust spiritual consciousness.
"Speaking of which, if it weren't for that Half-Saint who ambushed me, I might have been able to force Ruo Lan to death in the deepest part of the Purgatory Ancient Star's sea of fire, without all this trouble. Of course, even though the chances of success in such an endeavor are very slim, it doesn't mean it's impossible. That Half-Saint really messed up my plans," Wang Ping recalled the Half-Saint who had ambushed him with displeasure.
If that Half-Saint continued to disrupt his plans in the upcoming simulations, Wang Ping wouldn't mind killing him directly, not just in the simulation but also in reality.
"System, how much low-grade divine source is required for a paid simulation now that my cultivation has reached the first stage of the Divine Lord Realm?" Wang Ping asked in his mind.
He had mentally prepared himself for significant expenditure.
"Ding, the host's cultivation has reached the first stage of the Divine Lord Realm. The amount of divine source required for a paid simulation is ten thousand catties of low-grade divine source or one hundred catties of middle-grade divine source," the system replied in its cold and unfeeling voice.
"Ten thousand catties?" Wang Ping's face twitched as he heard the figure. Although he had mentally prepared himself, this price still exceeded his expectations. This was way beyond reasonable.
Originally, Wang Ping thought it might be three thousand or five thousand catties, but it had exceeded ten thousand.
For a moment, he regretted advancing his cultivation. It seemed that maintaining a lower cultivation level for more frequent paid simulations might be more enjoyable.
Of course, this was just a fleeting thought.
With the enemy closing in, continuing to gamble and refresh for powerful talents was dangerous. He needed to increase his cultivation to ensure safety. Not to mention that without increasing his cultivation, he might not be able to break the deadlock, and the probability of death was high.
"If I'm unlucky and don't refresh any powerful talents in the following simulations, these simulations would be meaningless."
"System," Wang Ping thought, "I'll start a new free simulation for now."
"Ding, Life Simulation initiated. Free simulation begins."
The system's voice rang out, and Wang Ping felt his consciousness flicker as he entered the immersive simulation mode.
Then, the screen appeared, and text floated in.
[On the first day, you chose to go to the Daoist Palace, intending to obtain another Sacred Herb and advance your cultivation to the later stages of the Divine Lord Realm before confronting Ruo Lan.]
[When you arrived at the Daoist Palace, the Daoist Palace's Master was surprised to find that you were a powerful Divine Lord Realm cultivator with a spatial and temporal Dao Body, and you also practiced the Dao Emperor's Scripture.]
[As a result, the Daoist Palace's Master unhesitatingly invited you to join the Daoist Palace, seeing you as the future savior of the Daoist Palace. However, due to your low-profile nature, you chose only to become an Outer Elder of the Daoist Palace.]
[During your time as an Outer Elder, you worked hard on your cultivation and occasionally guided the disciples of the Daoist Palace. During this period, you actually discovered a promising disciple.]
[This disciple's name was Fang Xingyu. Although his aptitude and talent were quite ordinary, his understanding was astonishing. Because of this, you developed a fondness for him and took him as your disciple, teaching him the ways of cultivation.]
[You believed that as long as Fang Xingyu could obtain a treasure that greatly improved his aptitude or a technique that could bring about a transformation, his future achievements would be remarkable.]
[In that case, it would also leave the Daoist Palace with a good foundation.]
"Hmm, has the future changed again? But this time, there's a named supporting character, which is quite interesting," Wang Ping mused, rubbing his chin as he read the simulated text, giving a satisfied nod upon remembering Fang Xingyu's name.
[A decade has passed in the blink of an eye. Ruo Lan secretly arrived at the Taiyuan Ancient Star but was surprised to find that you were staying at the Daoist Palace, leaving her somewhat helpless.]
[In the blink of an eye, several decades have passed. Due to the increased difficulty of cultivation at the Divine Lord Realm, your cultivation has remained unchanged, still stuck at the first stage of the Divine Lord Realm.]
[However, this time you once again secretly entered the Great Saint's Secret Realm and obtained a Sacred Herb. This time, you easily acquired the Sacred Herb.]
[After obtaining the precious herb, you returned to the Daoist Palace to continue your diligent cultivation.]
[Three hundred years later, you used the essence of the Sacred Herb to steadily advance to the fourth stage of the Divine Lord Realm.]
[In the blink of an eye, another three hundred years passed, and your cultivation advanced further to the seventh stage of the Divine Lord Realm. However, what disappointed you was that after reaching the Divine Lord Realm, the consumption of resources increased significantly, and this Sacred Herb could only help you reach the seventh stage of the Divine Lord Realm before being exhausted.]
[Nevertheless, you were satisfied with this progress. After all, you could continuously enhance your cultivation through rewards from the Life Simulator, while the Sacred Herb could only be used once to rapidly increase your cultivation.]
[Although you reached the seventh stage of the Divine Lord Realm, you didn't immediately leave to confront Ruo Lan and send her to the Purgatory Ancient Star. Instead, you decided to consolidate your position, intending to comprehend the Laws of Thunder and Fire before proceeding.]
[In the blink of an eye, several hundred years passed. During this time, you diligently cultivated, successfully comprehended the Laws of Thunder and Fire, created your own Saint-level techniques and divine abilities, and came one step closer to creating your unique path to enlightenment.]
[Feeling that the time was ripe, you began to use a flying divine artifact and departed from the Taiyuan Ancient Star, heading towards the Purgatory Ancient Star.]
[Seeing you leave the Taiyuan Ancient Star and go beyond the domain, Ruo Lan, who had been keeping an eye on the Daoist Palace, swiftly followed you.]
[Three months later, both of you arrived at the Purgatory Ancient Star and reached the depths of the sea of fire.]
[Next, you acted as you remembered. Although you didn't go through tribulation this time, you still adjusted your position using spatial laws and abilities, combined with the Golden Talent: Forceful Repel, to push Ruo Lan into the deepest part of the sea of fire.]
[Ruo Lan never expected that your cultivation would soar to the seventh stage of the Divine Lord Realm in such a short time, and you possessed such an extraordinary ability. She could only helplessly activate her Supreme Artifact to escape from the sea of fire.]
[You executed your plan, relentlessly bombarding Ruo Lan, who was trapped in the deepest part of the sea of fire. You aimed to use the terrifying flames of the Purgatory Ancient Star to kill her completely.]
[Of course, you were on guard against the Half-Saint, Sixth, who had ambushed you previously. However, due to your adjustments in time, the Half-Saint who enjoyed ambushes was not currently on the Purgatory Ancient Star, and your displayed cultivation and combat power were high enough to deter any potential ambushers.]
[As for Ruo Lan, she was also in a miserable state. Your strength was much greater than she remembered, and the effects of your attacks were more potent.]
[In response, Ruo Lan was forced to burn her blood essence, use secret techniques to forcefully increase her strength, and maximize the power of her Supreme Artifact to break free from the terrifying sea of fire. She then launched her most ferocious attack toward you once again.]
[Faced with this terrifying attack, you didn't choose to use the Purple Talent: Damage Transfer, but instead, you decided to endure the attack with your physical body.]
[In an instant, you were reduced to ashes, with nothing left. Thanks to the Resurrection Talisman, you entered a state of revival countdown.]
[Ruo Lan continued to bombard the body, preventing you from feigning death. Due to the distance, the effect of your dying words did not trigger.]
[An hour later, you successfully revived, and by this time, Ruo Lan no longer had the strength to activate her Supreme Artifact. The Supreme Artifact once again fell into a sealed state.]
[However, Ruo Lan was still confident that she could kill you with her formidable cultivation. After all, she was a Half-Saint. Even though she had burned a lot of blood essence and her divine soul was weak, her combat power had dropped significantly. Nevertheless, she believed she could still easily kill you.]
[After your revival, she launched an attack, but you evaded it. The two of you engaged in a fierce battle within the grand formation.]
[It must be said that even in her weakened state, Ruo Lan was still strong. Despite your cultivation at the seventh stage of the Divine Lord Realm and the occasional critical hit from the Purple Talent: Endless Blades, facing her head-on was still challenging.]
[However, you remained calm and, at a crucial moment, used the Purple Talent: Nullify Divine Abilities, nullifying her divine abilities and delivering your most powerful strike.]
[Caught off guard, Ruo Lan, who was weaker than you remembered, took the blow head-on. Combined with your fortunate activation of the Purple Talent: Endless Blades' critical effect, she was directly blown apart, suffering unimaginable injuries that would be difficult to recover from.]
[With a cold smile, you started ruthlessly attacking her, going for the kill. In the midst of her screams, Ruo Lan's physical body was completely destroyed, leaving only her divine soul trying to escape. As for her sealed Supreme Artifact, it had clearly been set with some kind of secret technique and, upon Ruo Lan's demise, tore through space and disappeared.]
[You speculated that this Supreme Artifact must have been directed towards its owner's location, and it seemed that the second-generation time-travelers' chat group's senior had set up a contingency plan.]
[Although you regretted not intercepting the Supreme Artifact, you didn't pay it too much mind and continued to chase after Ruo Lan. Seeing that you were closing in, Ruo Lan became increasingly frantic, indicating that she would rather die with you than face your relentless pursuit.]
[Your expression remained cold and unmoving as you, during the pursuit, silently used the Purple Talent: Damage Transfer to bind a hapless individual.]
[Seeing that you were truly determined to eliminate her, Ruo Lan resorted to summoning a terrifying forbidden weapon. As this weapon was unleashed, a torrent of power poured forth, erupting with a force capable of severely injuring even a Saint-level figure.]
[Faced with this terrifying power, you were already on guard and used spatial abilities to evade, but you were still affected, suffering damage that could be fatal.]
[However, you had bound the unfortunate individual with the Purple Talent: Damage Transfer, so all the damage was transferred to that person. The hapless individual instantly perished, buying you some time.]
[At this point, Ruo Lan, a Half-Saint and your predecessor in time-traveling, had died at your hands. However, you were unaware that Ruo Lan lacked the resurrection method like Chu Xiao in some simulations. You continued to watch, ready to deliver a lethal blow to Ruo Lan should she revive.]
"Impressive, reaching the seventh stage of the Divine Lord Realm, coupled with numerous talents, you finally managed to kill her. Ruo Lan, the Half-Saint, proved quite challenging to deal with. Dealing with a Saint-level Ruo Lan would probably be beyond my capabilities at the Divine Lord Realm. Even at the Half-Saint level, it would be tricky. After all, the gap between a Half-Saint and a Saint is immense."
Wang Ping looked at the content of this text simulation, filled with astonishment.
The battle this time had been particularly perilous, involving various calculations and talent combinations. It cost you two lives to finally kill her, making it a brutal encounter.
"However, did Ruo Lan, my senior in time-traveling, really not have a resurrection method? It seems that Chu Xiao's resurrection method, like I acquired, wasn't available to every member of the second-generation time-travelers' chat group. Apparently, even in reality, when she was killed by me, she didn't have it."
Wang Ping recalled the content of the text simulation, his eyes gleaming with understanding.
Then, he gathered his thoughts and continued to gaze at the screen.
"Is it time to make another choice? This time, the choice is quite clear; I have to escape, or I'll die."
Wang Ping thought to himself.
In a pure text simulation, Wang Ping naturally didn't know that Ruo Lan had died, but in his immersive simulation state, since he had learned of Ruo Lan's death, there was no need to continue attacking or waiting for her. It was time to escape.
After all, there were many powerful cultivators on the Purgatory Ancient Star, including some Half-Saints. If these people decided to act against him, even with all his trump cards, he might not be able to fend them off.
"System, continue fast-forwarding."
After making his decision, Wang Ping spoke up.
[After learning of Ruo Lan's death, you quickly retreated while searching Ruo Lan's body. Due to your understanding of spatial laws, other cultivators were unable to catch up to you and were left behind.]
[At this point, although many cultivators were surprised that a powerful Half-Saint like Ruo Lan had been killed by you, considering your possession of the Time and Space Dao Body and your comprehension of spatial laws, the Laws of Thunder, Laws of Fire, and your cultivation of the Emperor of Dao's Techniques, they found it somewhat acceptable.]
[After all, achieving the comprehension of three laws while having Divine Lord Realm cultivation in the Last Epoch was already incredibly abnormal. Even with the Time and Space Dao Body, this was not an easy feat.]
[Of course, although many cultivators were amazed, some of them began to speculate about your identity and had different thoughts.]
[Seeing this situation, you decided to].
The text simulation paused here, and in Wang Ping's mind, various images and insights emerged.
Finally, his perspective shifted back to the Purgatory Ancient Star.
"Do I need to make another choice? This time, it's quite clear that I need to make a run for it; otherwise, I'm done for," Wang Ping thought with a flicker of determination.
In a purely text-based simulation, Wang Ping naturally didn't know if Ruo Lan had truly died. However, in his state of immersion, now that he had learned of Ruo Lan's death, there was no need to continue to attack or lie in wait. It was time to escape.
After all, there were many formidable cultivators on the Purgatory Ancient Star, including Half-Saints. If they decided to target him, even with all his hidden cards, he might not be able to hold them off.
"System, continue fast-forwarding," Wang Ping said.
"You became aware of Ruo Lan's death and immediately looted her body before fleeing. Thanks to your mastery of spatial laws, the other cultivators were unable to catch up to you, and you managed to escape successfully.
However, at this point, you knew that the Daoist Palace was about to face a calamity. Given your revealed identity, power, and physical condition, returning to the Taiyuan Ancient Star would be a death sentence. After some contemplation, you decided to go to other Ancient Stars to cultivate discreetly, avoiding the limelight.
You checked the star map and realized that reaching the central ancient star region of the vast universe was impossible. Even with a flying artifact, the distance to the central ancient star region was immense and dangerous, as it would expose you to various deadly risks.
In the end, you settled on your next destination: the Canglan Ancient Star. While this ancient star was similarly remote like the Taiyuan Ancient Star, it was much more powerful and had produced an Emperor according to historical records.
Based on historical records, Canglan Emperor was born on the Canglan Ancient Star 1.5 million years ago and achieved enlightenment on the same star one million years ago, entering the Emperor Realm!
