Chapter 120: Finally Reached the Divine Power Realm! (Second Update)
"Finally, I'm about to breakthrough to the Divine Power Realm!"
Su Xing looked at the simulation panel and murmured softly.
Seeing the slow growth in the final few years, when his body reached its limit, Su Xing even thought he would have to wait for the next simulation to reach the Divine Power Realm.
But he finally reached the limit of ten million jin!
"Ten million jin, even the ancient Witch Tribe in the Yuanwu Realm probably couldn't achieve this level of strength, right?"
"Even the weakest Divine Power Realm cultivators probably only possess this level of strength…"
Su Xing's heart surged with inexplicable excitement.
He could feel that his efforts in the Zhenyao Pass were all for the sake of reaching this limit.
And at this moment, he had finally achieved it!
"Breakthrough to the Divine Power Realm! A bright future awaits!"
Su Xing's breathing quickened slightly as he turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.
[During a time when the situation in Zhenyao Pass was becoming increasingly dire, you chose to enter seclusion.]
[You returned to the Lingtian Blessed Land, adjusted your physical condition to its peak, and prepared some Demon Emperor blood essence and the remaining top-grade Divine Power Pills.]
[You consumed three jin of Demon Emperor blood essence in one go, feeling that the surging energy within your body was about to overflow.]
[When your body could no longer withstand this energy, you took a Divine Power Pill, preparing to break through.]
[The Divine Power Pill transformed into a warm current that flowed into your abdomen, instantly turning into violent energy. This energy was like a hammer, constantly pounding every inch of your flesh and blood.]
[The energy continued to accumulate, spreading to every corner of your flesh and blood. You felt your bones aching and groaning.]
[This was a transformation of your muscle density and bone density. An ordinary flesh and blood body couldn't withstand such tremendous power.]
[This was a more brutal and thorough enhancement than the previous Bone Forging Realm. You felt endless pain.]
[It started with your skin, your flesh, and then your bones… ultimately strengthening your internal organs.]
[Under the scouring of this energy, you felt your body's strength and life elevate at this moment.]
[The pain continued, for a day and a night. It almost caused you to give up several times, but the ten years of tempering in Zhenyao Pass had made your mind more resolute, allowing you to grit your teeth and persevere.]
[Finally, after your continuous persistence, at a certain moment, you felt your body become lighter.]
[You even thought you had successfully broken through, but immediately afterward, your body was seized by an endless feeling of hunger.]
[Since you reached the Golden Core Stage, you had been able to abstain from food. While you still had basic desires for food, you wouldn't normally feel hunger this intensely.]
[But this hunger felt so real at this moment, as if you hadn't eaten for three days and three nights. You only had one thought in your mind: eat!]
[You turned your gaze to the remaining Demon Emperor blood essence and began to devour it frantically. You ate a full five jin of Demon Emperor blood essence before you felt you couldn't eat any more.]
[Then, the energy within your body surged again. You decisively took the second Divine Power Pill… and then the energy exploded, bringing on the pain.]
[Your body was once again being scoured and transformed by this energy…]
[This cycle repeated. You no longer remembered how much beast blood essence you had consumed, probably more than you had eaten in the past month. You also no longer remembered how many Yuanwu Pills you had taken. The pain in your body had become commonplace.]
[Finally, at a certain moment, you felt a crackling sound within your body. A certain shackle within your body was successfully broken!]
[You broke through and became a Divine Power Realm cultivator!]
[But the expected surge of power did not come, because during these few days of breakthrough, your strength had actually been surging!]
[In just a few days, your strength had increased to twenty million jin!]
[Immediately afterward, your stomach growled in hunger, and you ate another five jin of Demon Emperor blood essence. But this time, there was no pain or energy explosion. You only felt that your entire body was filled with strength!]
[The surface of your body was as if bathed in sunlight, covered with a thin layer of golden veil.]
[You seemed to understand that the Divine Power Realm was not just an increase in strength, but a comprehensive enhancement of body strength! This was another powerful leap in the physical strength of body cultivation practitioners!]
[Because only a higher body strength could control such great power!]
Su Xing's face flushed as he read this.
"Finally, finally broke through!"
The Divine Power Realm, capable of rivaling Martial Emperor-level experts!
Although he had just entered the Divine Power Realm, his strength was not weaker than that of veteran Divine Power Realm experts. In that sense, he was considered quite strong among Martial Emperors!
"After this simulation ends, I'll definitely be able to break through to the Divine Power Realm… At that time, I'll be among the strongest in humanity. Should I reveal myself and obtain more energy?"
Su Xing fell into contemplation.
It was conceivable that as long as he revealed his strength and cooperated with the Daxia higher-ups, utilizing the resources of an entire nation, his speed of gaining simulation energy would definitely increase tenfold, a hundredfold, even a thousandfold!
And this would also mean that Su Xing's strength would enter another explosive growth period!
After the Divine Power Realm, the energy required to break through to the next realm would likely increase tenfold, with each realm requiring ten million energy!
Therefore, whether it would be sufficient or not was also an important issue…
"Sigh, it's really a headache! As for whether to reveal myself or not, perhaps I can go to Zhenyao Pass first? How big is the gap between humans and the demonic races?"
Su Xing already had a plan in mind, which was to take a look in the simulator.
Thinking this, Su Xing's gaze fell upon the simulation panel.
[After breaking through to the Divine Power Realm, you returned to the real world, to Zhenyao Pass.]
[At this moment, the battle in Zhenyao Pass was raging, with the human side being completely overwhelmed by the demonic beasts. Warriors were dying on the battlefield every second.]
[You didn't say anything, silently joining the battlefield and fixing your gaze on a Demon Emperor-level behemoth.]
[When you were at the peak of the Yuanwu Realm, you could still fight against a Demon Emperor. Now that you have broken through to the Divine Power Realm, there's no reason for you to fear a Demon Emperor anymore.]
[This time, you didn't choose any Divine Power techniques. Instead, you chose to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Demon Emperor with your fists.]
[The enormous Demon Emperor, over a hundred meters tall, and you, less than two meters tall, formed a stark contrast. You were like an ant in front of it.]
[But the huge size difference didn't diminish your strength. On the contrary, it made it easier for you to dodge the Demon Emperor's attacks.]
[You punched out, twenty million jin of force carrying Yuanli smashed towards the Demon Emperor. With just one blow, the Demon Emperor was severely injured.]
[You fought the Demon Emperor for several tens of minutes before finally subduing it and taking its blood essence.]
[Although you had the upper hand on the battlefield, the human race was still at a huge disadvantage. You didn't have time to think and quickly rejoined the battlefield!]
[The opponents you chose were all Demon Emperor-level behemoths! You were once the nightmare of Demon Kings, and now you were about to become the nightmare of Demon Emperors!]
[In the following few months, you fought against Demon Emperors every day, killing one every few days. Your role on the battlefield even surpassed that of most Martial Emperor-level experts!]
[Because while Martial Emperor-level experts were strong, they didn't possess your terrifying strength and body strength!]
[As you consumed Demon Emperor blood essence every day, you felt your strength and physical strength continue to improve.]
[You consumed Divine Power Pills and Demon Emperor blood essence every day in addition to fighting, and your strength steadily increased.]
[In the twenty-sixth year, although the situation in Zhenyao Pass was still dire, it was still holding on. And you took advantage of this opportunity to rapidly increase your strength!]
[Until one day, everything changed!]
[Endless hordes of demonic beasts appeared on the horizon, stretching as far as the eye could see. Countless demonic beasts went mad, rushing towards Zhenyao Pass. One powerful demonic beast after another appeared in your field of vision.]
Su Xing took a deep breath and said:
"Use the Immersive Simulation function. Duration: one hour!"
[Ding, detected that you are using the Immersive Simulation function. Duration: 1 hour. Cost: 100,000 energy. Remaining energy: 26,034,396 points.]
Su Xing's vision shifted, and the next second he found himself in an unfamiliar place.
Dark, oppressive clouds filled the sky, with flashes of lightning and thunder rumbling in the distance.
The sounds of frantic shouts and the smell of blood filled the air.
Su Xing looked around in a daze. There were mages in robes casting spells, warriors in armor raising their large swords to clash with flying demonic beasts in the sky.
Golden lights and waves of energy emanated from the city walls from time to time.
"Sir, we can't hold on any longer! Let's retreat!"
At this time, a Heavenly King-level professional came to Su Xing's side and spoke to him.
But Su Xing remained unmoved. If they retreated, where could they go?
Leaving Zhenyao Pass, returning to the real world, it was just a matter of time anyway.
Su Xing strode to the edge of the city wall and saw the endless sea of demonic beasts on the ground in the distance.
They ranged from several meters to several tens of meters, and even several hundred meters in size.
They were frantically attacking the city wall, trying to blast a hole through the thousand-meter-high Zhenyao Pass.
Su Xing saw soldiers throwing themselves into the fray to stop those demonic beasts.
Some succeeded, while others perished.
Suddenly, Su Xing heard a terrified cry.
He followed the sound and saw a man staring blankly ahead.
Su Xing followed his gaze and saw, within his field of vision, a wave of incredibly powerful giant beasts charging towards them.
"This is not a level that Royal-level giant beasts can achieve!"
Su Xing made this judgment in an instant.
"At least Legendary-level giant beasts!"
Su Xing gasped, because these Legendary-level giant beasts were several thousand meters tall. And it wasn't one or two, or dozens… but hundreds!
Hundreds of Legendary-level behemoths, as tall as the city walls, were charging towards the walls, intent on destroying them with brute force.
"Dare to destroy my Zhenyao Pass!?"
Su Xing heard a roar from behind him. More than ten experts with golden auras around them charged towards the Legendary-level behemoths.
Su Xing instantly understood that this must be the entirety of Zhenyao Pass's defense forces.
But ten against hundreds…
The outcome was obvious!
After only a few rounds of fighting, the human side's Legendary-level experts fell into a complete disadvantage, facing a near-total annihilation.
Just as Su Xing thought that Zhenyao Pass was about to fall, a sigh echoed from within the pass.
An old man appeared out of nowhere in the high sky, launching an attack on the Legendary-level behemoths in front of him.
However, an even more desperate situation unfolded. Two humanoid figures burst out from the demonic beast army. Although they looked human, they emanated a demonic aura.
The old man immediately engaged them in battle.
Su Xing didn't even see clearly, and the old man was defeated. Hundreds of Legendary demonic beasts poured into the city.
Su Xing's vision darkened, and his consciousness returned to his original body.
[Ding, due to character death, this Immersive Simulation has ended prematurely!]
[Ding, this simulation has ended!]
Su Xing looked at the cold words in front of him, silent for a long time.
"Even beings above the Legendary level can't save this outcome…"
Su Xing took a deep breath. The strength of the demonic race was far greater than he had imagined!
Humanity, with thousands of years of inheritance, might occasionally produce one or two exceptionally powerful individuals.
But the demonic races were a force of overwhelming power!
Absolute strength, combined with sheer numbers!
"Sure enough, I was too optimistic!"
"The Divine Power Realm, perhaps it's just decent, but it's still far from enough!"
Su Xing took a deep breath and dispelled the idea of revealing his identity and rapidly obtaining energy.
Having energy was good, but he needed to be alive to spend it!
"Sigh, what's the point of thinking so much? When the time comes, there will be a way… I should focus on improving my strength first!"
Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation reward selection.
[Might of Mountains and Rivers]: Purple Talent, price 1 million energy.
[Twenty-Six Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, including some alchemy comprehension, price 600,000 energy.
[Divine Power Realm, First Stage]: Body cultivation realm, price 10 million energy!
[Ten Years of Combat Experience]: Price 1 million energy.
Looking at the four rewards in front of him, Su Xing said without hesitation:
"I choose the Purple Talent, Might of Mountains and Rivers, and the Divine Power Realm, First Stage cultivation!"
[You have successfully acquired the Purple Talent, Might of Mountains and Rivers, spending 1 million energy. Remaining energy: 25,034,396 points.]
[You have successfully acquired the Divine Power Realm, First Stage cultivation, spending 10 million energy. Remaining energy: 15,034,396 points.]
As Su Xing made his choice, two mysterious forces descended upon his body.
The next second, Su Xing felt his aura begin to surge, and his strength began to climb further.
A gentle energy enveloped Su Xing. At that moment, Su Xing's body began to strengthen.
From flesh and blood to bones, and then to internal organs…
Several minutes passed, and when the light on Su Xing's body faded,
Su Xing successfully advanced to the Divine Power Realm!
There was no pain, no discomfort.
Everything felt natural, as if it was meant to be.
Su Xing felt the surging power emanating from his body and, for a moment, excitedly clenched his fists.
"This… is the Divine Power Realm!"
"Divine Power Realm… endless Divine Power, such terrifying strength… But in Zhenyao Pass, facing those demonic beasts, it still feels so powerless…"
