"This wave, it's a massacre."
Wang Ping watched the content of this simulation with satisfaction, nodding approvingly.
Killing Ruo Lan, exterminating the remnant soul of the Great Sage, and turning the tables on the enemies he had previously vanquished was quite enjoyable and satisfying.
While Wang Ping was in high spirits, the simulation continued.
[Next, you chose to leave the Primordial Star and go to the Purgatory Ancient Star to practice in the Sea of Fire. Moreover, there were no excessively powerful beings there, and with your Supreme Artifact, you were safe.]
[Three months later, you arrived at the Purgatory Ancient Star and found an excellent place for cultivation. However, as soon as you entered, you were attacked by a Semi-Saint. In response, you snorted disdainfully and directly obliterated the attacker, making them die in a pool of blood.]
[This shocked some cultivators on the Purgatory Ancient Star, who didn't expect you to be so powerful. Soon, news of your presence spread, and no one dared to provoke you.]
[You were quite satisfied with this situation and began to focus on your cultivation. In the blink of an eye, about a thousand years had passed. You hadn't reached the Saint realm yet, but thanks to abundant resources, you broke through to the Semi-Saint realm with ease.]
[After becoming a Semi-Saint, you faced a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation. This Heavenly Tribulation shocked many cultivators on the Purgatory Ancient Star. However, you had no fear. You stared down the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation with determination, and in the end, you successfully overcame it, stepping firmly into the Semi-Saint realm and becoming a powerful Semi-Saint.]
[In addition, your personal weapon had also been promoted to the level of a Sacred Artifact with the help of the Heavenly Tribulation. This achievement left you quite satisfied.]
[After becoming a Semi-Saint, you were filled with determination. You recalled the impending arrival of the Mo Clan Young Master in the mortal world. Allowing the Mo Clan Young Master to descend to the mortal realm might lead to the destruction of the Purple Spirit Realm.]
[Therefore, you chose to return to the Primordial Star and descend to the mortal realm. However, upon finding the Mo Clan Young Master in the mortal realm, you realized that the Supreme Artifact, the Abyssal Demon Spear, was missing. Nonetheless, you decided not to destroy the mortal realm and let it be.]
[Apparently, the Mo Clan Young Master, while arrogant and ruthless, was not inclined to casually destroy entire realms. However, you managed to obtain the Heaven-Demon Stone from him. After all, you couldn't have too many Heaven-Demon Stones, and it might help your Abyssal Demon Spear evolve once again.]
[Next, you remembered the fate of the Dao Palace, which was on the verge of destruction. You felt indebted to the Dao Palace for your past simulations and your study of the Dao Heaven Emperor's Scripture. You couldn't stand by and watch the Dao Palace be destroyed.]
[Therefore, you went to the Dao Palace and informed them of the imminent threat from powerful enemies. You hoped that the Dao Palace would relocate to protect its legacy.]
[Your words astonished the Dao Palace's Master. However, despite your cultivation of the Dao Heaven Emperor's Scripture and your status as a powerful Semi-Saint, he was naturally skeptical of an outsider like you.]
[However, after you swore by your Dao Heart, the Dao Palace's Master was moved. After all, a genius like you had no reason to play a meaningless prank by swearing by your Dao Heart.]
[In the end, the Dao Palace's Master cautiously accepted some of your advice and initiated a secret relocation of the Dao Palace's heritage. You sensed that he didn't fully trust you, but you sighed and chose not to say more.]
[Subsequently, you left the Dao Palace and headed for the Tianqing Mountain Range. Upon your arrival, you became entangled in a strange formation that you couldn't escape from, even with your Supreme Artifact. To break free, you decided to use the Fiend-Scorching Emperor Fist to attract the attention of the Chizi clan's descendants who were hiding in the Tianqing Mountain Range.]
[As expected, when you unleashed the Fiend-Scorching Emperor Fist, the formation disappeared, and you were transported to the interior of the Tianqing Mountain Range, where you encountered an elderly man. This elderly man was extremely terrifying, and you couldn't discern his aura, believing him to be a Saint or even stronger.]
[The elderly man sized you up and asked about the origin of your Fiend-Scorching Emperor Fist. You didn't hesitate and answered truthfully. You also mentioned your connection with the Dao Palace, explaining that the Dao Palace's Master had informed you about the Tianqing Mountain Range and the Chizi clan. You expressed your desire to learn the latter part of the Fiend-Scorching Emperor Scripture and offered to help the Chizi clan seek revenge.]
[The elderly man fell into silence. You had cultivated the Dao Heaven Emperor's Scripture and possessed the Time-Space Dao Body, making him more inclined to believe your connection to the Dao Palace. However, he hesitated to share the Fiend-Scorching Emperor Scripture with you.]
[In the end, he sighed and invited you to follow him. You naturally complied.]
[Soon, you noticed that there were very few Chizi clan members in the Tianqing Mountain Range, and they were mostly in a self-sealed state.]
[After the elderly man brought you to their grand hall, he revealed a shocking truth. He could teach you the Fiend-Scorching Emperor Scripture, but seeking revenge was a meaningless endeavor because their clan had indeed committed sins.]
[This revelation left you extremely surprised, and you couldn't understand why the elderly man would say such a thing.]
[In response, the elderly man chuckled self-mockingly, explaining that the rumor that their clan's ancestors had suppressed an unknown existence and plunged into the source of darkness, causing the Chizi clan's curse, was spread by the followers of their ancestors to glorify the name of the Fiend-Scorching Emperor and the survival of their clan.]
[In truth, when the darkness erupted, their ancestor, the Fiend-Scorching Emperor, did intervene and suppress the unknown existence, but instead of diving into the source of darkness, he chose to enter it voluntarily to ensure his continued existence in the world.]
[As a result, their Chizi clan incurred the wrath of the Heavenly Dao and suffered its curse, rather than a curse from the darkness.]
[Hearing this truth, you fell into silence. You had always held figures like the Fiend-Scorching Emperor and the Condemnation Emperor in high regard, and you never expected the Fiend-Scorching Emperor to willingly enter the source of darkness, becoming the source of calamity.]
[However, you seemed to recall something and expressed your doubts. If other Great Emperors had also entered the source of darkness, becoming Dark Emperors, why weren't their clans cursed?]
[Hearing your question, the Chizi clan's elderly man remained silent and admitted that he didn't know. Nevertheless, their ancestor's choice to enter the darkness was a fact.]
[Unable to get a clear answer, you buried your doubts
in your heart. Subsequently, you asked another question: why did he share these secrets with a stranger like you.]
[The elderly man sighed, explaining that their clan couldn't hold on much longer. Rather than taking these secrets to the grave, he preferred to share them to ease his conscience. Furthermore, these secrets were already known to the true top-tier powers, so there was no point in keeping them hidden.]
[You felt a mix of emotions after hearing this. You had held a favorable opinion of the Chizi clan but had never expected the truth to be so different.]
[Following this, the elderly man passed the Fiend-Scorching Emperor Scripture to you and allowed you to leave. Naturally, you had no intention of staying any longer, so you departed. After your departure, the elderly man sat down, his life coming to an end.]
[Once you left the Tianqing Mountain Range, you contemplated your next destination. Staying on the Primordial Star made no sense unless you could break through to the Saint realm. Continuing your cultivation here might attract the attention of terrifying experts.]
[As a result, you decided to leave the Primordial Star once more, this time heading for the Purgatory Ancient Star or the Vast Waves Ancient Star to cultivate. Ultimately, you chose to come to the Purgatory Ancient Star and attempt to break through to the Saint realm here, or utilize the unique environment to cultivate the Fiend-Scorching Emperor Scripture.]
[Three months later, you arrived at the Purgatory Ancient Star and began your daily cultivation. In the blink of an eye, another thousand years had passed. During this period, you successfully learned the divine abilities recorded in the Fiend-Scorching Emperor Scripture. However, breaking through to the Saint realm was still a distant goal, even with abundant resources and a Sacred Medicine.]
[It was during your arduous cultivation that the Purgatory Ancient Star's Sea of Fire underwent a sudden change. The Fire Law within it erupted, and a terrifying blaze surged from within the ancient star.]
[Caught off guard, you were directly reduced to ashes by this horrifying blaze. It wasn't just you; all the cultivators on the Purgatory Ancient Star were burned to death, turned into ashes.]
[Due to your possession of a Resurrection Talisman, you entered a countdown to revival. At the moment of your resurrection, the Abyssal Demon Spear, your Supreme Artifact, protected you, preventing you from dying immediately upon revival.]
[However, you noticed a terrifying fact. The eruption of the Fire Law and the power of this horrifying blaze became increasingly intense. Even the protective barrier formed by the Abyssal Demon Spear couldn't withstand it; it was melting.]
[A sense of dread washed over you as you attempted to use spatial divine power to escape. Yet, to your horror, the space had completely distorted and was impervious to teleportation due to the eruption of the Fire Law and the ferocious flames.]
[Ultimately, you were incinerated to nothingness. Even the Abyssal Demon Spear was destroyed.]
[Due to your death, this simulation ended.]
As the text simulation concluded, Wang Ping's mind was filled with various images and insights. Finally, he found himself back within the Purgatory Ancient Star.
"What's going on? Why did the Purgatory Ancient Star suddenly erupt with such a terrifying blaze that can even incinerate a Supreme Artifact?"
Wang Ping stared at the eerie white flames with a sense of dread, his heart pounding.
This power was far too terrifying. He couldn't determine its level, but it was very likely not of the Saint realm.
"I thought the Purgatory Ancient Star would be an excellent place for cultivation, but it seems I was too optimistic. There are hidden secrets within the Purgatory Ancient Star as well. Perhaps, in the past, it wasn't a world filled with flames, and there was life above ground. Something must have happened to change it like this."
Wang Ping surveyed the Purgatory Ancient Star, his gaze flickering as he contemplated within.
As Wang Ping pondered, his consciousness suddenly shifted, and his field of view changed, returning to the real world.
Then, the voice of the system rang out.
"Ding, reward generation successful. Host can choose two items from the following:
1. Lifebound Saint Artifact.
2. Red Talent - Wind Profound Body.
3. Blue Talent - Chaos-Wielding Sorcerer.
4. Heaven-Demon Stone.
5. Semi-Saint Cultivation."
"System, I choose 1. Lifebound Saint Artifact and 5. Semi-Saint Cultivation," Wang Ping decided after looking at the reward list.
Although increasing his cultivation would consume more resources for paid simulations, Wang Ping was currently wealthy and not concerned about the cost.
After all, if he depleted his resources, he could earn more once his cultivation improved.
With low cultivation, he felt a lack of security.
Wang Ping had come to realize that he needed to quickly elevate his cultivation to the Saint realm and boost his strength to a level where he could contend with self-proclaimed Saints.
As for other matters, they could be dealt with later.
After making his choice, Wang Ping felt the presence of a Saint Artifact in his sea of consciousness.
It was his lifebound Saint Artifact.
Furthermore, Wang Ping's cultivation began to soar rapidly, and in a short time, he advanced to the Semi-Saint level, giving him a faint aura of sanctity.
However, he couldn't help but acknowledge that the system's reward for cultivation was effortless, with no visible signs of improvement.
Otherwise, it might attract the attention of that terrifying expert.
That could be dangerous.
"Let's continue the simulation." Wang Ping thought to himself, silently saying, "System, how many resources do I need for paid simulations now?"
"Ding, the host's cultivation has reached the Semi-Saint level, and the cost for simulations is 5,000 premium divine sources," the system's voice replied.
"Only 5,000 premium divine sources? Not a problem. System, initiate the simulation. Let's see what your limits are," Wang Ping said confidently.
"Ding, consuming 5,000 premium divine sources. Life Simulator activated, talent refresh in progress."
The system's voice echoed.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully refreshing two talents: Gold Talent - Fate Concealment; Red Talent - Song and Dance."
Gold Talent - Fate Concealment: With this talent, the host can conceal most divinations directed at themselves.
Red Talent - Song and Dance: After singing and dancing, the host's combat power will increase.
"Wow!" Wang Ping's eyes brightened as he looked at the talents he had just refreshed.
This time, he had directly refreshed a gold talent.
Moreover, it was the gold talent he had dreamed of – Fate Concealment, which could shield him from most divination techniques.
In other words, with this talent, the second-generation chat group's time travelers would no longer be able to use ordinary divination methods to find him.
If they couldn't find him, Wang Ping would be in the shadows, while they remained exposed.
In such a situation, Wang Ping could safely grow.
Once he had grown strong enough, he could deal with them as he pleased, enjoying the satisfaction of revenge!
"System, I choose the Gold Talent - Fate Concealment!" Wang Ping exclaimed.
"Ding, talent selection successful. Life Simulator begins."
The system's voice echoed, and Wang Ping felt his consciousness blur as he entered an immersive simulation.
Then, the screen appeared, and text floated into view.
[Day 1: You chose to cultivate on the Primordial Star, intending to break through to become a powerful Saint when the opportunity arises.]
[Ten years later, Ruo Lan arrived at the Primordial Star, looking for you. However, she found that her divination techniques were ineffective, leaving her suspicious and worried.]
[However, unable to locate you, you took the initiative to find Ruo Lan. With the help of your Purple Talent - Concealed Presence and a hidden technique, you launched a powerful attack, killing Ruo Lan instantly. Now, as a Semi-Saint, you have grown significantly stronger, capable of assassinating Ruo Lan with a single blow.]
[After killing Ruo Lan, you couldn't help but wonder if your current strength could rival a self-proclaimed Saint. However, although you were curious, you had no intention of provoking a Saint and engaging in a battle.]
[After killing Ruo Lan, you continued your cultivation. In the blink of an eye, over 1,500 years passed, and the Dao Palace remained in ruins.]
[Another hundred years later, Ye Chen faced trouble again. However, you considered it but ultimately decided not to intervene in this matter. After all, your primary goal in this simulation was to achieve sainthood. Without reaching that goal, you had no intention of leaving your seclusion.]
[Unexpectedly, Ye Chen was rescued by a mysterious expert and didn't die. This made you realize that Ye Chen's luck had improved since he ascended to the higher realm.]
[As for the Mo Clan Young Master, he was furious when he discovered that Ye Chen had escaped and that he couldn't locate the Abyssal Demon Spear using the divination techniques given to him by the Heavenly Calculator. This made him suspect that the Heavenly Calculator had deceived him.]
[In response, the Mo Clan Young Master decided that staying on the Primordial Star, a remote ancient star, was meaningless. He chose to return to the central ancient star region.]
[You were unaware of the Mo Clan Young Master's departure and continued your seclusion. In a blink of an eye, over 400 years passed, and a disturbance occurred on the Purgatory Ancient Star. You felt a faint opportunity to achieve sainthood.]
[Driven by this opportunity, you immersed yourself in cultivation, determined to break through the barrier of sainthood and step into the realm of Saints.]
[Three hundred years later, while you were in the midst of breaking through the Saint barrier, a terrifying shockwave occurred on the Primordial Star. An ominous dark aura suddenly descended upon the Primordial Star.]
Wang Ping gazed at the simulated content, his brows slightly furrowing, and let out a sigh.
"I hope we can get through this challenge this time. After all, I'm just a step away from reaching the Saint realm. It would be such a waste to die here. Even though I know that if I die, I'll still retain my insights, and I can achieve Saint status in the next simulation, it's still more satisfying to become a Saint in one go."
Wang Ping thought to himself, continuing to stare at the screen.
[Soon, a war erupted. The Saint-level experts took the lead and started slaughtering hordes of dark creatures. However, no matter how many dark creatures they killed, more of them kept emerging, sending shivers down their spines.]
[At the same time, these Saint-level experts quickly attracted the attention of dark creatures with Saint-level powers, leading to a terrifying battle. Furthermore, Half-Saints, God-Kings, and other cultivators below the Saint level also joined the battle for their lives.]
[At this moment, there was no escape. They had to fight to the death and eliminate the dark creatures to survive. Otherwise, if they were defeated, hiding anywhere would be futile, as the dark creatures would find and kill them.]
[As you watched this horrifying battle, your expression remained grave. You had no intention of joining the battle but were thinking of how to escape from the Ancient Yuan Star. However, through spatial perception, you discovered that the entire Ancient Yuan Star was shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to escape.]
[Simultaneously, you were also targeted by powerful dark creatures. These formidable dark creatures were coming at you to kill. In response, you sighed helplessly and had no choice but to engage them.]
[Soon, you eliminated these dark creatures, drawing the attention of many cultivators on the Ancient Yuan Star. They were shocked to discover such a powerful Half-Saint hidden on the Ancient Yuan Star.]
[What was even more surprising was that you practiced the Emperor's Scripture, which was undoubtedly the Dao of the Heavenly Emperor. This made them suspect that you might be a survivor of the destroyed Dao Palace. You paid no attention to the gazes of others and continued the battle, effortlessly defeating a dark creature that could rival a Half-Saint.]
[This left everyone even more astonished. Among Half-Saints, you were exceptionally powerful. Even the Saint-level ancestors who were engaged in the battle cast surprised glances your way.]
[The battle continued to intensify, with more and more powerful dark creatures appearing, putting immense pressure on the Saint-level ancestors. In the end, the number of Saint-level dark creatures exceeded those on the Ancient Yuan Star's side. If the major forces didn't use their reserves, they would have been overwhelmed.]
[Just as the horrifying battle escalated, a dark creature at the level of a Saint emerged from the darkness. Although this dark creature's strength was only equivalent to an ordinary Saint who had just entered the Saint realm, its terrifying aura still terrified cultivators below the Saint level to the extreme.]
[Because they noticed one thing: all the Saint-level ancestors were blocked, and no one could withstand this dark creature at the level of a newly advanced Saint. With their strength, if they fought this terrifying dark creature, they would likely be instantly defeated.]
[Seeing this, you furrowed your brows and understood that you couldn't just stand by. At this critical moment, you had to act. You also felt a surge of fighting spirit, intending to confront this dark creature at the level of a newly advanced Saint to test your own strength and see if you had the power to defeat a Saint-level opponent.]
[With determination, you initiated an attack against the dark creature at the level of a newly advanced Saint. You felt immense pressure while facing it. However, you remained fearless and unleashed a formidable combination of three different laws, the techniques from the Emperor's Scripture, and your incomplete version of the Spatial Dao Body, causing havoc in the battle.]
[This scene shocked many cultivators. They hadn't expected you to possess such legendary abilities and comprehend three different laws, allowing you to battle against a Saint-level opponent. Even the Saints were amazed by your strength.]
[As Saint-level experts, they understood how incredible it was for a Half-Saint to challenge a Saint-level opponent, and you seemed to be exceeding their expectations by far. Such a level of power was exceptionally rare in the upper realm.]
[While everyone was stunned, you continued your intense battle with the dark creature at the level of a newly advanced Saint, occasionally triggering critical hits with your purple talent, the Endless Blade.]
[However, you realized that it would be difficult to defeat the dark creature with your current methods. Thus, you decided to unleash a more formidable technique. You revealed the terrifying technique recorded in the sequel to the Emperor's Scripture, the Burning Heaven Nine Transformations.]
[With the power of the Burning Heaven Nine Transformations, combined with another critical hit from your purple talent, the Endless Blade, you caused an explosion that obliterated the powerful dark creature, ending its existence.]
[This left everyone shocked once again. They hadn't expected you to actually slay a Saint-level opponent, even though it was a dark creature. Furthermore, your use of the Emperor-level technique raised eyebrows and stirred controversy.]
[However, at this point, no one paid much attention to these details. The battle continued. Having just defeated the formidable dark creature, you hadn't even caught your breath when another crisis emerged.]
[Five terrifying dark creatures approached you, each no weaker than the previous one, with some even stronger.]
"Darkness is indeed a perilous calamity," Wang Ping muttered as he read the simulated content. He knew that getting through this ordeal wouldn't be easy.
Weapons were just weapons, and their power was limited if not wielded effectively.
Despite its incredible strength, even an artifact as supreme as the Emperor's Scripture had its limits.
Supreme artifacts could make Saint-level experts wary, but killing a Saint-level opponent with them was still no easy task.
Against a Grand Saint, it was even more futile, as their personal strength could easily suppress a supreme artifact.
However, in a battle between two Saint-level or Grand Saint-level experts, where one had a supreme artifact and the other didn't, the situation would be different. The side with the supreme artifact had a significant advantage.
Seeing the five formidable dark creatures, you knew that continuing to rely solely on your own strength would eventually lead to your demise at their hands. You hesitated briefly, aware of the consequences of summoning the Supreme Weapon, the Abyssal Demon Spear. Nevertheless, you made the choice to retrieve it.
As soon as you summoned the Supreme Weapon, the Abyssal Demon Spear, the five dark creatures approaching you were instantly obliterated. The terrifying power of a Supreme Weapon was undeniable. This astonished all the Saint-level experts present, who had not anticipated you possessing such a precious item.
Among them, the members of the Mo family were particularly astounded, their expressions shifting constantly. After all, the Abyssal Demon Spear was the supreme artifact they had been searching for, and they hadn't found it in the lower realm. Unexpectedly, it had fallen into your hands.
However, you had already demonstrated terrifying strength, and now, with the Supreme Weapon in your possession, they dared not say much. At this moment, attacking you would be tantamount to seeking death.
Moreover, in this critical moment, unity
was essential to resist the dark creatures. Otherwise, everyone would perish.
Although other powerful individuals were somewhat coveting your Supreme Weapon, they ultimately had no intention of making a move against you. Even the strongest among them, the Zhang family's Ancestor, only cast a deep glance at you but did not take action.
Seeing this, you felt a little relieved. While you suspected that this group wouldn't attack you at this time, you still remained vigilant. After all, Supreme Weapons were extremely valuable, and there was a risk of powerful individuals attempting to ambush you and seize the Abyssal Demon Spear.
The battle continued with you wielding the Supreme Weapon, facing the relentless onslaught of dark creatures. However, a despairing situation emerged. These dark creatures seemed endless, and the powerful ones kept increasing, resulting in the mass casualties of cultivators on the Ancient Yuan Star.
Even God-Kings and Half-Saints could no longer hold their ground, and even Saints began falling.
You were also targeted by dark creatures that matched the Saint Kings in power. These beings weren't easy to deal with, and you were pursued not by one but several powerful dark creatures at the Saint King level.
"This wave of darkness is truly dangerous," Wang Ping observed the simulated content, sighing inwardly. He knew that surviving this catastrophe would be extremely challenging.
Weapons were just tools, and their effectiveness depended on how they were used. Even the most powerful weapon, like the Abyssal Demon Spear, had its limits.
The Abyssal Demon Spear, while incredibly potent, couldn't easily kill a Saint King. It was only a matter of time before it would be shattered by a Saint King's power. However, if two Saint Kings or Grand Saint-level experts were in a battle, and one had a Supreme Weapon while the other didn't, the odds would be stacked heavily in favor of the wielder of the Supreme Weapon.
As Wang Ping looked at the five formidable dark creatures approaching him, he knew that relying solely on his own strength would eventually lead to his demise at their hands. He hesitated briefly, fully aware of the consequences of summoning the Supreme Weapon, the Abyssal Demon Spear. Nevertheless, he made the choice to retrieve it.
Once he summoned the Supreme Weapon, the Abyssal Demon Spear, the five dark creatures approaching him were instantly obliterated. The incredible power of a Supreme Weapon was undeniable. This left all the Saint-level experts present astonished, as they hadn't expected Wang Ping to possess such a precious item.
Among them, the members of the Mo family were particularly astounded, their expressions shifting constantly. After all, the Abyssal Demon Spear was the Supreme Weapon they had been searching for, and they hadn't found it in the lower realm. Unexpectedly, it had fallen into Wang Ping's hands.
However, Wang Ping had already demonstrated terrifying strength, and now, with the Supreme Weapon in his possession, they dared not say much. At this moment, attacking Wang Ping would be tantamount to seeking death.
Moreover, in this critical moment, unity was essential to resist the dark creatures. Otherwise, everyone would perish.
Although other powerful individuals were somewhat coveting Wang Ping's Supreme Weapon, they ultimately had no intention of making a move against him. Even the strongest among them, the Zhang family's Ancestor, only cast a deep glance at Wang Ping but did not take action.
Seeing this, Wang Ping felt a little relieved. While he suspected that this group wouldn't attack him at this time, he still remained vigilant. After all, Supreme Weapons were extremely valuable, and there was a risk of powerful individuals attempting to ambush him and seize the Abyssal Demon Spear.
The battle continued with Wang Ping wielding the Supreme Weapon, facing the relentless onslaught of dark creatures. However, a despairing situation emerged. These dark creatures seemed endless, and the powerful ones kept increasing, resulting in the mass casualties of cultivators on the Ancient Yuan Star.
Even God-Kings and Half-Saints could no longer hold their ground, and even Saints began falling.
Wang Ping was also targeted by dark creatures that matched the Saint Kings in power. These beings weren't easy to deal with, and he was pursued not by one but several powerful dark creatures at the Saint King level.
"This wave of darkness is truly dangerous," Wang Ping observed the simulated content, sighing inwardly. He knew that surviving this catastrophe would be extremely challenging.
In summary, the weapon is indeed powerful, but its effectiveness depends on the user's strength.
[In a surprising turn of events, while you were engaged in a fierce battle with several powerful dark creatures, the Zhang family's Half-Saint suddenly launched an attack on you. Although you were somewhat cautious, you were caught off guard due to the intense battle with the dark creatures, and he successfully ambushed you.]
[As a result, you were struck down on the spot, your life abruptly cut short. After your death, the Zhang family's Half-Saint, who possessed half-step Grand Saint cultivation, aimed to seize the Supreme Weapon, the Abyssal Demon Spear.]
[However, as he was about to claim the Abyssal Demon Spear, your red talent, the Silent Death, triggered. A devastating strike exploded, hitting him directly. Although the power gap between your cultivation levels prevented significant damage, it did push him back a considerable distance.]
[Nonetheless, this was sufficient. After being repelled by your attack, the Zhang family's Half-Saint was once again ensnared by the terrifying dark creatures, preventing him from attempting to retrieve the Abyssal Demon Spear.]
[After your death, the Abyssal Demon Spear itself fell into a state of confusion. It remembered the promises you had made to it and couldn't believe you had died.]
[However, the Abyssal Demon Spear, as a Supreme Weapon, understood the clear distinction between right and wrong. It knew that its opportunity to return to the world was because of you releasing it. Out of anger, the Abyssal Demon Spear decided to cooperate with the dark creatures in attacking the Zhang family's Half-Saint.]
[The Zhang family's Half-Saint, although no longer fearing the Abyssal Demon Spear due to his cultivation level, now faced the challenge of dealing with the formidable dark creatures, making his situation perilous. He found it frustrating, as he had never expected his plan to backfire.]
[As for the other Saint-level powerhouses on the Ancient Yuan Star, they distanced themselves from the Zhang family's Ancestor, harboring deep disdain and fear. They were afraid he might turn against them.]
[Time passed, and an hour went by in the blink of an eye. During this hour, the cultivators on the Ancient Yuan Star suffered massive casualties. Ordinary practitioners were slaughtered, turning the entire Ancient Yuan Star into a hellish realm.]
[Even Saint-level cultivators struggled to hold on and faced massive casualties. The Zhang family's Ancestor, despite defeating the dark creatures and temporarily sealing the Abyssal Demon Spear, found himself in a dire state.]
[It was at this moment that you were resurrected. Upon your return, you witnessed the wretched state of the Zhang family's Ancestor. You harbored deep resentment towards him and charged at him without hesitation, knowing that today was a day of reckoning.]
[Upon seeing you resurrected and charging at him, the Zhang family's Ancestor was both shocked and enraged. He hadn't expected you to possess such a means of resurrection. However, he also considered you to be seeking death. Although his condition was poor, killing a Half-Saint like you would be a simple task.]
[Yet, something unexpected happened. As you charged towards him, you broke through a barrier at any cost, triggering a heavenly tribulation.]
[With your Saint-level heavenly tribulation, a terrifying aura engulfed the entire Ancient Yuan Star, dispersing some of the darkness.]
[Simultaneously, because your heavenly tribulation covered this area, the already dreadful Saint-level heavenly tribulation became even more terrifying. After all, heavenly tribulations couldn't be interrupted, and the more cultivators within the range, the stronger the heavenly tribulation's power would become, reaching a terrifying level where even those at the Grand Saint level would face death.]
[Seeing you approaching with the heavenly tribulation, the Zhang family's Ancestor's scalp tingled. He attempted to escape, but it was too late. Whether it was him or the dark creatures, they were all locked onto by the heavenly tribulation.]
[In the end, the horrifying heavenly tribulation erupted, and both you and the Zhang family's Ancestor, along with other dark creatures, perished within its onslaught. Under such a heavenly tribulation, lives were simply too insufficient.]
[With your death, this simulation comes to an end.]
As the textual simulation reached this point, it came to a halt, and Wang Ping's mind was filled with various images and insights. Finally, his consciousness reappeared above the Ancient Yuan Star, witnessing the scene of the devastating heavenly tribulation shattering everything.
"I did die after all. But this time, forcefully achieving the Saint level, I wonder if it will affect the rewards in the simulation."
Wang Ping watched the scene, contemplating silently.
If the rewards were merely limited to the Water Saint level, he might feel a bit disappointed.
Well, maybe not disappointed, as he had the option to decline.
However, if he couldn't even select the nearing breakthrough to Half-Saint cultivation, that would be quite frustrating.
Just as Wang Ping was deep in thought, his consciousness suddenly blinked, and he returned to the real world.
Then, the system's voice resounded.
"Ding, reward generation successful. Host can choose two of the following rewards:
1. Saint-level cultivation (without transcending the heavenly tribulation, incomplete Dao foundation).
2. Half-Saint cultivation (approaching a breakthrough).
3. Golden talent - Clairvoyant Shielding.
4. Red talent - Melodic Dance."
"System, I choose option 2. Half-Saint cultivation (approaching a breakthrough) and option 3. Golden talent - Clairvoyant Shielding."
With a glance at the rewards, Wang Ping made his choices without hesitation.
As Wang Ping made his selections, he felt his cultivation advance significantly once more, and the moment of transcending to the Saint level, achieving a complete transformation in body, mana, and soul, drew near.
At this point, Wang Ping was only a short time away from a perfect breakthrough, ready to face the tribulation.
Following that, Wang Ping sensed additional information flooding into his mind.
It was the Golden talent - Clairvoyant Shielding, which allowed him to selectively shield himself from the prying eyes of fate, a highly valuable ability.
"Not bad, not bad."
Wang Ping nodded in satisfaction, intending to continue with the simulation.
A day without becoming a Saint meant he would never give up!
