Chapter 435: Strength Soars, Cleansing the Endless Abyss!
[While you were far away in the Azure Origin Realm, you learned some information through the Demonic God Realm, but you didn't have a complete understanding of the details of this war.]
[You only knew that, according to Demonic intelligence, this battle was a pyrrhic victory.]
[Although the Seventh Legion provided assistance, the Heavenly Mechanism Domain was, after all, the most powerful Immortal Domain of humanity, possessing numerous hidden experts.]
[And when humanity faced its existential crisis, countless dormant Golden Immortals and Great Ethers emerged from their slumber… ]
[But even so, humanity still lost.]
[Most of the Heavenly Mechanism Domain was occupied by the Demonics, with only the regions north of the Heavenly Mechanism World still holding on.]
[However, according to intelligence, the next wave of Demonic reinforcements was about to arrive… the entire Heavenly Mechanism Domain was on the verge of collapse!]
In the real world, Su Xing's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this.
He had expected humanity to lose, but he hadn't imagined it happening so quickly!
Less than three thousand years, and humanity was crumbling like a landslide. Even the core domain, the Heavenly Mechanism Domain, was in jeopardy, let alone the other domains.
"Moreover, the Heavenly Mechanism Domain is humanity's strongest domain… the Demonics have concentrated the vast majority of their forces…"
"Once the Heavenly Mechanism Domain is completely invaded, the other domains probably won't be able to hold out for long…"
Su Xing's expression grew serious. The time he had left… was running out!
"With the Simulator, a thousand years… advancing to the Great Luo Golden Immortal will be a piece of cake."
"But what about beyond the Great Luo Golden Immortal?"
"Even a Great Luo would struggle to survive in this chaotic era… In three thousand years, will I be able to gain a glimpse of the secrets of the Saintly Realm?"
Su Xing felt a sense of uncertainty.
Since he obtained the Simulator and embarked on the Immortal Path, it had been a little over three years.
In just three years, he had ascended from the Qi Refinement stage to the Golden Immortal. This speed was absolutely unprecedented.
But with the increase in his cultivation, Su Xing inevitably felt that cultivation was becoming more and more difficult.
"From Golden Immortal to Great Ether… it can still be measured in years."
"Talented immortals, within a million years, perhaps they could ascend to the Great Ether Golden Immortal."
"But for a Great Ether Golden Immortal to advance to Great Luo… it's incredibly difficult!"
Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly.
Throughout history, countless Great Ether Golden Immortals existed, but only a handful had managed to ascend to Great Luo, barely one percent!
"Great Ether Golden Immortals have lifespans exceeding ten million years… If they also practice life-extension techniques and consume celestial treasures… perhaps their lifespan could reach tens of millions of years…"
"While a Great Luo Golden Immortal, their lifespan is practically infinite…"
Su Xing muttered to himself.
And in this simulation, the point he was truly concerned about.
Was that in the next few thousand years, humanity would inevitably be annihilated by the Demonics!
This meant that Su Xing wouldn't be able to remain aloof. The upper limit of each simulation… was at most a few thousand years!
"Each simulation allows for a maximum of a few thousand years of cultivation… how long will it take to reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal?"
"Several years… or even several decades?"
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing murmured:
"Then what about the realm beyond that… the Saintly Realm?"
At this point, Su Xing was already unsure.
"Furthermore, the higher the realm, the more energy is required for cultivation…"
"Gathering energy and essence is also a major problem!"
Su Xing clenched his fists.
"Thinking about this now is pointless… the first priority is to enhance my strength!"
With this in mind, Su Xing turned his gaze to the Simulator panel.
This simulation was nearing its end.
[In the following period, you paid more attention to Demonic intelligence.]
[At the same time, you vaguely sensed that a tribulation seemed to be approaching you.]
[In the blink of an eye, another hundred years passed.]
[In the 2900th year, you remained safe and sound during these hundred years.]
[Until one day, you were attacked by a mysterious individual.]
[This human expert was terrifyingly strong, the two Level 1 Divine Beings protecting you couldn't even withstand a single move against him.]
[And you felt a sense of familiarity from this mysterious individual… his aura was insane, like a fallen demon!]
[Finally, before your death, you recognized this mysterious expert.]
[Qing Yunzi!]
[This was Qing Yunzi, completely corrupted by demonic influence!]
[Although he had lost his sanity, his Half-Saint cultivation was undoubtedly real!]
[You had no power to resist… ]
[You died… ]
[Ding, this simulation has ended!]
Looking at the text indicating the end of the simulation, Su Xing nodded slightly.
"Regardless, the objective of this simulation has been achieved…"
"As long as I have enough energy, my strength will once again undergo a massive increase!"
His gaze fell upon the reward list for this simulation.
[玄武神体 (Xuan Wu Divine Body)]: Golden Talent, priced at 10 Energy Essence.
[灵界两万一千里 (Spirit Realm 21,000 Li)]: Spirit Domain transformation, reaching the Spirit Realm level, significantly enhancing the power of divine abilities and spatial techniques within the Spirit Realm, with the Spirit Realm gradually evolving towards the real world. Priced at 300,000 Energy Essence.]
[金仙四层修为 (Golden Immortal Fourth Stage Cultivation)]: Golden Immortal Fourth Stage Late-Stage cultivation, priced at 10 million Energy Essence.]
[大巫锻体决修行成果 (Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture Cultivation Results)]: Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture Sixth Stage Minor Completion, the Vital Energy Tree within your body reaches 2 zhang 3 chi, with Vital Energy constantly replenishing itself. Priced at 6 million Energy Essence.]
Su Xing examined the rewards of this simulation, all four rewards were something he could use.
"The rewards are quite tempting, unfortunately… I don't have enough Energy Essence on hand…"
Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly. He currently had 6,848,858 Energy Essence remaining.
Close to seven million Energy Essence was enough for Su Xing to acquire three rewards, but the Golden Immortal mid-stage cultivation was still out of reach.
"Sigh… but I can't worry about that now!"
"I'll enhance my strength as much as possible!"
Without hesitation, Su Xing placed the Xuan Wu Divine Body and Spirit Realm comprehension results in the reward pool reserve area, allowing him to acquire them at a 10% energy cost increase.
"I choose to acquire…"
[Ding, congratulations on acquiring the Xuan Wu Divine Body, costing 11 Energy Essence… remaining Energy Essence 6,848,847… ]
[Ding, congratulations on acquiring the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture Cultivation Results, costing 6 million Energy Essence… remaining Energy Essence 848,858… ]
[Congratulations on acquiring the Spirit Realm 21,000 Li, costing 330,000 Energy Essence… remaining Energy Essence 518,858… ]
With three consecutive prompts, Su Xing felt his body undergo drastic changes.
First, the vital energy within Su Xing's body increased by approximately 30%.
The expansion of the Spirit Realm also meant that the Spirit Realm became significantly stronger…
In addition, the Xuan Wu Divine Body would grant Su Xing enhanced defensive capabilities.
At the same time, Su Xing discovered that his life force had undergone a subtle change.
It seemed… his lifespan had become longer!
"Xuan Wu Divine Body… possessing three times the lifespan of cultivators at the same realm?"
Su Xing nodded slightly. While the increase in lifespan wasn't particularly useful for him in the simulation.
But who wouldn't want to live longer?
Even immortals were no exception…
After adapting to the increased cultivation within his body, Su Xing pondered for a moment and estimated:
"Compared to before, my overall strength has increased by about 40%… with the biggest change being that the Five Elements Dao has entered the Sixth Realm!"
"It's a pity that I haven't acquired the Golden Immortal mid-stage cultivation… otherwise, the overall increase in strength should be around 50%!"
This massive leap in strength left Su Xing very satisfied!
It should be noted that for a Golden Immortal to enhance their overall strength by 50% was equivalent to climbing several steps!
"Then… next, it's time to properly explore the Endless Abyss!"
Su Xing took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the blood-red land and a mysterious passage ahead.
That passage led to the 401st layer of the Abyss!
Su Xing arrived at the entrance of the passage and murmured:
"Stepping into the next layer… there's no turning back!"
"If I enter the 401st layer, it will inevitably attract the attention of Crimson Moon…"
"But this action could also bring me tens of millions of Energy Essence in wealth!"
Faced with such immense wealth, it was difficult for Su Xing not to be tempted.
The only problem was that Su Xing only had five days!
Within those five days, the number of layers Su Xing could conquer would determine the amount of Energy Essence he could obtain!
And once the five days were up, Su Xing would have to retreat!
After all, it wasn't yet time to confront Crimson Moon directly!
"Previously, my strength allowed me to reach the 410th layer or so… but after this massive increase in strength, I can definitely reach a higher level!"
Su Xing's heart burned with desire. Without hesitation, he took a step forward, entering the 401st layer of the Abyss.
…
The blood-red land was filled with an ominous aura, the sticky feeling in the air made Su Xing furrow his brow slightly.
"The 401st layer of the Abyss… the 'malice' it brings is far greater than before!"
Su Xing took a deep breath, his divine sense spreading out like a tide, enveloping the entire layer.
Soon, within Su Xing's perception, three differently shaped Level 2 Divine Beings were slumbering.
"Hmm… these three, are they still the Crimson-Eyed Demonics?"
Su Xing enveloped the entire layer with his Spirit Realm, his figure flashing as he appeared behind one of the Demonic Divine Beings.
Then, the brilliant Five Elements Immortal Explosion Technique began to brew in Su Xing's hand.
With a gentle toss, a multicolored vortex drew a beautiful arc, brushing against the Demonic Divine Being's skin.
The next second, a terrifying wave of energy erupted.
Without any resistance… this Level 2 Divine Being instantly vaporized.
Leaving behind only the core Abyss Stone!
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction after instantly killing a Level 2 Divine Being.
"Not bad, the Five Elements Dao Sixth Realm… this is power beyond the Golden Immortal level!"
"How could mere Level 2 Divine Beings, just entering that level, withstand it?"
Su Xing sensed the depletion within his body. The Five Elements Dao comprehension had consumed less than one-fiftieth of his total, and it was slowly recovering.
The consumption of his vital energy was about one-twentieth.
Naturally, the consumption of divine abilities to kill a target at the Golden Immortal level wasn't insignificant.
However…
Su Xing took out a bottle of top-grade spirit liquid and drank it in one gulp, feeling his vital energy rapidly recover.
In a short while, he was back to his peak.
"Hmm… the consumption of vital energy can be ignored, after all, there's enough spirit liquid to replenish it!"
"But the consumption of the Five Elements Dao comprehension is something I have to pay attention to!"
Su Xing estimated that he could kill dozens of such Demonic Divine Beings in a short period of time before needing a rest.
However, besides the Five Elements Dao, Su Xing had other offensive methods.
It was just that it would take more effort to kill them, and he wouldn't be able to achieve instant kills.
"However, what's more important right now is…"
Su Xing glanced at the Abyss Stone in his hand.
Up to this point, Su Xing still didn't know the origin of these Abyss Stones.
But this didn't stop Su Xing from converting them into Energy Essence!
With a thought, Su Xing heard a prompt from the Simulator.
[Ding, detected a large amount of Energy Essence, worth 198,769… would you like to absorb it?]
Upon hearing this pleasant voice, Su Xing was shocked.
"Whoa, just one Abyss Stone is worth nearly 200,000 Energy Essence?"
"This value is several times higher than before!"
Su Xing inwardly exclaimed that it was a worthwhile endeavor.
From the 300th to 400th layers of the Abyss, a Level 3 Demonic Divine Being would at most provide a few tens of thousands of Energy Essence.
But now, in the 401st layer, a single Demonic Divine Being provided several times more!
"Not bad, the value is even higher than I expected!"
"Then, it's time to get to work!"
Knowing the value of the Abyss Stones, Su Xing was even more motivated, his figure quickly appearing beside another Demonic Divine Being.
Once again, the Five Elements Immortal Explosion Technique brutally crushed its opponent.
The Five Elements Dao Sixth Realm, combined with the essence of Yin and Yang and life and death, was enough to instantly kill enemies of this level!
…
A quarter of an hour later, Su Xing had eliminated the three Demonic Divine Beings in the 401st layer of the Abyss.
But he didn't rush into the next layer, instead, he rested for a moment.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and Su Xing felt that his vital energy had mostly recovered, and his state was back to its peak. He nodded slightly and said:
"Including the recovery time, it takes about half an hour to clear one layer?"
"This speed is truly astonishing!"
Su Xing's heart was filled with joy.
This was several times faster than his previous simulation when killing Demonic Divine Beings!
However, Su Xing knew that this was due to the advantage of the Five Elements Dao Sixth Realm.
It was equivalent to the Dao comprehension of a Great Ether Golden Immortal in the early stages, and it was a killing Dao. When facing these enemies, who were equivalent to early-stage Golden Immortals, it was naturally effortless.
But once Su Xing's Five Elements Dao essence was exhausted, his speed would decrease by several times.
"However, I'll kill as many as I can!"
Su Xing's figure flickered, and he entered the 402nd layer of the Abyss!
As soon as he stepped into the 402nd layer, Su Xing's heart skipped a beat.
A sense of foreboding surged into his heart, and his Auspicious Avoidance talent began to send out warnings.
"Sure enough… did you sense it?"
Su Xing frowned slightly, his gaze piercing through the blood-red earth, as if he saw a powerful being at the very bottom of the Endless Abyss slowly awakening!
"Fortunately, Crimson Moon hasn't fully resurrected, to fully awaken… it will take at least five days!"
"And these five days are my best opportunity to develop!"
With this in mind, Su Xing increased the speed at which he eliminated Demonic Divine Beings.
Another half an hour passed.
Su Xing arrived at the 403rd layer of the Abyss…
As he became more proficient with the Five Elements Immortal Explosion Technique, Su Xing systematically cleared out the Demonic Divine Beings in the Abyss.
The 404th layer…
The 405th layer…
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
The 415th layer.
Su Xing temporarily stopped eliminating the Demonic beings.
He glanced at the Energy Essence on his panel and nodded in satisfaction:
"Not bad, I've swept through fifteen layers, a total of forty-five Level 2 Divine Beings!"
"Finally… the Energy Essence has broken through ten million again!"
"Then… it's time to acquire the Golden Immortal mid-stage cultivation!"
Increasing his strength first and then continuing to explore deeper was undoubtedly the most efficient approach!
With this in mind, Su Xing silently said:
"I choose to acquire the Golden Immortal Fourth Stage Late-Stage cultivation…"
[Congratulations on acquiring the Golden Immortal Fourth Stage Late-Stage cultivation, costing 10 million Energy Essence… remaining Energy Essence 374,355… ]
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 436: Confronting Crimson Moon, Su Xing Issues a Threat!
As the prompt sounds faded, the aura surrounding Su Xing surged once more.
From the peak of Golden Immortal Third Stage, he smoothly broke through to Golden Immortal Fourth Stage.
Then, it continued to rise, reaching Golden Immortal Fourth Stage Late-Stage!
Su Xing's vital energy had become at least 30% more substantial!
Most importantly, with this breakthrough in cultivation, Su Xing's condition returned to its peak!
Even the previously depleted essence of the Five Elements Dao had fully recovered!
"Whew… sure enough, a breakthrough in cultivation, at a critical moment, can also serve as a reserve of vital energy!"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. This was one of the reasons why he waited until he had cleared dozens of layers in the Endless Abyss before extracting the cultivation boost!
Su Xing carefully experienced the increase in his strength and nodded:
"Not bad, it's about as I expected…"
"After breaking through to Golden Immortal mid-stage, my overall strength has increased by about 1.5 times…"
"Most importantly, with my enhanced vital energy, the power of the Five Elements Immortal Explosion Technique will become even more terrifying!"
With the breakthrough to Golden Immortal mid-stage, Su Xing would be even more adept at instantly killing those Level 2 Divine Beings in their initial stages.
To give an example, Dao comprehension is the fundamental source of the Five Elements Immortal Explosion Technique's power.
But to fully unleash the power of this divine ability, it needs to be supported by sufficiently strong cultivation!
"Three Thousand Worlds, Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Divine Abilities, Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Divine Abilities…"
"Currently, the power of my Five Elements Immortal Explosion Technique should be among the top-tier Heavenly Gang Divine Abilities!"
"It's a technique that could serve as a trump card for a Great Ether Golden Immortal…"
"In comparison, the Protective Sword Qi and Void Slash are slightly weaker…"
It's not that these techniques lack potential.
But at Su Xing's current level, what primarily determines the power of divine abilities and techniques is the depth of one's comprehension of the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
The Five Elements Dao has broken into the Sixth Realm first, and it also contains the essence of Yin and Yang and life and death. These techniques naturally have increased in power under Su Xing's command!
"Whew… my strength has increased further!"
"There are less than four days left… I wonder how many more layers I can conquer!"
Su Xing glanced at the passage in the distance and muttered to himself.
After entering the 400th layer, Su Xing clearly felt that the strength of these Crimson-Eyed Demonics was relatively consistent. The Demonic Divine Beings in the lower layers might be slightly stronger than those in the upper layers.
But overall, they were still at the initial stages of Level 2 Divine Beings.
"It seems… the strength of the Demonic Divine Beings at the bottom of the Endless Abyss doesn't increase indefinitely!"
"These Crimson-Eyed Demonics should be those who fell into slumber after that war… they should represent the Demonic heritage…"
Su Xing could feel that since the 300th layer of the Abyss, once the Crimson-Eyed Demonics were killed, they wouldn't respawn.
It makes sense. Crimson Moon might have the ability to endlessly revive lower-level Crimson-Eyed Demonics.
But for Divine Beings, even Crimson Moon couldn't endlessly resurrect them.
Otherwise, with the Crimson-Eyed Demonics' terrifying strength, the human Immortal Cultivation world would have been overthrown long ago…
"So, every time I kill a Crimson-Eyed Demonic Divine Being, the Demonics' strength is weakened a bit…"
"No wonder this would alarm Crimson Moon!"
Su Xing muttered. If it were the Crimson-Eyed Demonics from the first 300 layers, Crimson Moon probably wouldn't care so much.
"Then, let's make Crimson Moon even more distressed…"
Su Xing's lips curled into a smile as he prepared to move on to the next layer.
After advancing to Golden Immortal mid-stage, Su Xing's condition was stronger than ever.
Half an hour later, the 417th layer of the Abyss.
Su Xing maintained his clearing speed of one layer every half an hour, occasionally resting when his vital energy and Dao comprehension were excessively depleted.
…
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed!
This was the fourth day since Su Xing entered the 400th layer!
And currently, the layer Su Xing was in was…
The 460th layer of the Abyss!
In just three days, Su Xing had cleared a total of forty-five layers of the Endless Abyss!
Continuously releasing the "Five Elements Immortal Explosion Technique" for three days and three nights, even Su Xing felt exhausted.
Currently, in the empty 460th layer of the Abyss, Su Xing drank a bottle of top-grade spirit liquid. Feeling his vital energy rapidly recover, he let out a long sigh.
"Whew… continuously releasing the Five Elements Immortal Explosion Technique for three days and three nights… the essence of the Five Elements Dao is down to less than a third!"
"I need to reserve some Dao essence to deal with unexpected situations… after all, this is my most powerful offensive technique at the moment!"
Su Xing looked at the Abyss passage leading to the layer below, lost in thought.
"As I delve deeper… that malice emanating from the bottom of the Abyss is becoming increasingly terrifying!"
"If I were to leave the Endless Abyss right now… I could definitely escape unscathed!"
"But according to the simulation, Crimson Moon won't attack for another day… the difference is that I'm currently at a much deeper level!"
"I wonder if Crimson Moon will accelerate her awakening…"
Su Xing hesitated. Should he take this risk…?
But after looking at the Energy Essence on his panel, Su Xing decided to take this gamble, just this once!
"30,560,000 Energy Essence… just forty-five layers of the Endless Abyss have yielded me nearly 30 million Energy Essence in profit!"
"It's not that I'm not cautious enough… it's just that it's too good to be true!"
Su Xing sighed.
Over 30 million Energy Essence, Su Xing had obtained it in just three days!
Unprecedented efficiency, this feeling of increasing his foundation made Su Xing unable to stop!
"Now, every time I delve deeper into the Endless Abyss, I can gain nearly 800,000 Energy Essence in profit!"
"Ten layers, that's 8 million!"
"Let's take a gamble… I'll conquer ten more layers and then stop!"
"I should have enough time to conquer ten layers within a day… and then leave the Endless Abyss!"
Su Xing licked his lips, a rare glint of greed flashing in his eyes.
The bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish!
The unprecedented profits made Su Xing, even though he knew his enemy was the terrifying Crimson Moon, still have the courage to snatch food from a tiger's mouth!
Having made his decision, Su Xing acted swiftly and decisively, quickly entering the next layer of the Abyss!
The 461st layer…
Su Xing spent over half an hour clearing this layer.
With insufficient Five Elements Dao comprehension, Su Xing's speed of killing Demonic Divine Beings was significantly slower.
But, he was still crushing them with overwhelming force!
The 462nd layer of the Abyss… the 463rd layer… the 465th layer…
Finally, the 470th layer of the Abyss!
Su Xing's body was filled with terrifying fluctuations. The Mo Bing Sword, radiating a terrifying sword intent, was pulled out of a Level 2 Divine Being's heart.
The Level 2 Divine Being's life force quickly depleted until it vanished.
The last Abyss Stone landed in Su Xing's hand, and he casually converted it into Energy Essence!
He looked at the Simulator panel.
38,724,399 Energy Essence!
The unprecedented number gave Su Xing the confidence he needed!
He glanced at the time. There was less than two hours left until the five-day deadline.
Su Xing was pondering whether to delve into another layer.
However…
At that moment, Su Xing's expression changed. His casual demeanor instantly turned solemn.
He could feel an unprecedentedly terrifying malice fully awakening from its slumber!
At the same time, Su Xing's Auspicious Avoidance talent frantically sent out warnings!
A heart-stopping pressure enveloped Su Xing.
At the same time, it enveloped the entire Endless Abyss!
Su Xing resisted the terrifying pressure, gritting his teeth and saying:
"Sure enough, it's a bit faster than in the simulation…"
"She's a cunning old fox, Crimson Moon!"
Su Xing didn't underestimate this old opponent in the slightest.
"But I'm not the same as before!"
Su Xing's heart moved, and the Three Flowers on top of his head gathered together, briefly breaking free from the pressure.
Then, the Spatial Dao frantically bombarded the spatial fabric of the Endless Abyss.
The restrictions, slowly breaking…
A spatial passage, with great difficulty, was forced open in front of Su Xing!
The Spatial Dao, having reached the Dao's True Realm, finally broke through Crimson Moon's restrictions!
Su Xing's lips curled into a smile. Before the malice could completely descend, he turned and stepped into the spatial passage…
…
Blue Star, Daxia Country.
Su Xing appeared in a desolate mountain, looking up at the sky.
The originally azure sky was now covered by a crimson curtain of light.
The crimson gradually deepened, turning into a shocking blood-red!
A crimson moon, resembling a pupil, hung in the blood-red sky, looking incredibly eerie.
At this moment, the entire Blue Star.
The Seven Countries and Twelve Domains, all living beings, raised their heads to look at the sky without exception.
That bone-deep malice made all living beings involuntarily shiver.
Su Xing stared at the increasingly red moon, sensing that Crimson Moon's true form was rapidly descending upon Blue Star!
"While it's a bit annoying… but no matter what, it's not time to fight yet!"
"My strength… is still a bit weak…"
Su Xing could feel that Crimson Moon was very close to fully descending upon Blue Star.
Perhaps, at the very next moment!
"However… there's still enough time!"
Su Xing said, quickly casting spells. The restrictions Crimson Moon had placed on Blue Star were rapidly being torn apart.
A spatial passage leading to the boundless void completely appeared before Su Xing!
At the same time!
The crimson moon in the sky slowly opened its eyes.
A large, blood-red eyeball was fully exposed in the sky above Blue Star.
At the same time, an eerie, murmuring voice echoed in Su Xing's ear:
"Human, you've overstepped your bounds…"
"Since you've come… then stay forever!"
With these words, a terrifying, eerie crimson light shot from the crimson moon towards Su Xing on the ground.
Su Xing, who had already stepped half a foot into the spatial passage, stopped.
He gave a disdainful smile towards the crimson moon in the sky, his lips slightly parted, responding:
"Old dog, it's not time to take your life yet…"
"Next time we meet… will be your death!"
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing's lips curled into a mocking smile:
"And now… goodbye!"
With that, Su Xing completely stepped into the spatial passage, his aura vanishing from Blue Star.
He's gone, he's gone…
The prematurely awakened Crimson Moon, feeling like she had been toyed with, couldn't help but feel a surge of humiliation.
From Blue Star, Crimson Moon's endless roar of anger seemed to faintly echo:
"Human… no matter where you are… I will tear you to shreds!"
————
At the same time, in the boundless void.
Several million miles from Blue Star, in a nameless void.
Su Xing's figure suddenly appeared.
From here, one could still faintly see the silhouette of Blue Star…
Patting his chest, Su Xing couldn't help but say:
"Damn, I put on a big show this time!"
"Escaping from under Crimson Moon's nose… now the old dog Crimson Moon will be furious!"
This action of Su Xing's, on the surface, seemed pointless, only serving to provoke Crimson Moon.
But in reality, it was the result of Su Xing's careful planning.
Cleaning the Endless Abyss, provoking Crimson Moon… and then calmly escaping!
Each step, seemingly dangerous, was actually part of the plan.
The purpose of what Su Xing did was to make Crimson Moon awaken prematurely from her slumber!
Thus, the prematurely awakened Crimson Moon would inevitably have paid a price. When Su Xing confronted her in the future, he could slightly weaken Crimson Moon's strength!
As for being chased by Crimson Moon for offending her?
Su Xing wasn't the least bit afraid!
Over the years, haven't countless people chased after Su Xing?
But, as Su Xing said!
The next time they meet…
Crimson Moon will be the one who should be afraid!
"Well, no matter what… I won't return to Blue Star until my strength has grown to a sufficient level!"
"The next time I see Crimson Moon in reality… I should have the strength to crush her, right?"
Su Xing muttered, looking at the remaining Energy Essence on the Simulator panel, the corners of his lips curled up.
"Before leaving Blue Star… I finally had a good feast!"
Nearly 40 million Energy Essence!
After several simulations, Su Xing's strength would undoubtedly take several more leaps!
And even the top spot on the Leaderboard… was no longer out of reach!
Without lingering too long.
The distance from here to Blue Star was not far enough, Su Xing was far from being completely safe.
He quickly determined the direction in the void, the coordinates of the next void node.
Su Xing used the Spatial Dao, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished again, traveling millions of miles.
Su Xing was rushing towards the Little Qingyun World at an extremely fast speed…
…
An hour later, Little Qingyun World, White Emperor City.
After nearly two months, Su Xing returned to this Immortal Cultivation city.
Before him stood Bai Xuan, the actual leader of the Myriad Gold Pavilion, with utmost respect.
The "Immortal Ancestor" who usually acted arrogantly in White Emperor City was restrained like a child in front of Su Xing.
He respectfully handed over several storage rings, then quietly stood aside, waiting for Su Xing's instructions.
Since Su Xing had revealed some of his cultivation and given Bai Xuan a warning, Bai Xuan had become much more obedient, and even his efficiency in collecting spirit ore had improved significantly.
Su Xing exchanged all the spirit ore in the storage rings for Energy Essence, then casually dismissed him.
When only Su Xing remained in the room, he flickered and returned to his cave abode in White Emperor City.
Then, he turned and entered the Spirit Field Cave Heaven…
With a thought, he absorbed the ore from several storage rings, and Su Xing gained nearly 2 million more Energy Essence!
At this moment, Su Xing's Energy Essence reached 40,734,396!
"Over 40 million Energy Essence… it's time to start planning for the next step!"
Su Xing muttered.
At this time, Su Xing had no simulation chances left.
It would also be more than a day before the next simulation chance refreshed.
Su Xing began to think about his future plans.
Both in reality and in the simulated plans…
"Blue Star, I won't be able to return for a while!"
"For a period of time in the future, I will lose a stable source of Energy Essence…"
"But luckily, I made a fortune before leaving, so it's not a complete loss…"
Su Xing paused, then continued:
"Then, the stable ways I have left to obtain Energy Essence… are only the Little Qingyun World and the Starry World!"
"If I'm diligent and find more of the Luo Tian Sect's lost inheritances, I should be able to get quite a few more Energy Essence…"
Su Xing pondered carefully and quickly made a plan.
"Within the next month or two… I'll gather as many Luo Tian Sect inheritances as possible!"
"Then I'll take a trip to the Starry World and bring back all the Starry Stones I obtained from the Starry Assembly…"
"These Energy Essence should be enough to bring my cultivation infinitely close to Great Ether Golden Immortal!"
"But, that's probably the limit…"
Su Xing estimated that the Energy Essence needed to bring his Qi Refinement and Body Tempering cultivation to the peak of Golden Immortal and Sixth Realm would be over 100 million.
As for the 200 million Energy Essence gap needed to advance to Great Ether Golden Immortal…
Su Xing definitely wouldn't be able to obtain it in the short term.
At that time, Su Xing would have to find new channels and methods!
"At that time… I'll have to rely on the Inferior Demon persona!"
Su Xing had a plan in mind, muttering:
"An Inferior Demon at the Level 1 Divine Being level, their status among the Demonics is probably not much different from that of a Main God!"
"Moreover, the Demonics, in order to invade the Three Thousand Worlds as quickly as possible, will definitely provide a sufficient amount of blood essence to ensure my cultivation of the Inferior Demon."
"This blood essence… is all Energy Essence in disguise!"
Su Xing's lips curled into a faint smile.
As long as he reveals his identity as an Inferior Demon Divine Being to the Demonics, Su Xing would definitely be able to obtain a sufficient amount of Energy Essence in the short term!
Enough for his main body to advance to the Great Ether Golden Immortal realm!
"This method, both strengthens myself and weakens the Demonics' strength, it's excellent!"
"However, the only thing to pay attention to is… the Inferior Demon's strength cannot increase too obviously… and during that period, I won't be able to appear in my main body form."
"Therefore, I must enhance the Inferior Demon persona's strength to Level 1 Divine Being, and once it's no longer able to increase explosively in the short term, I can execute the plan!"
Su Xing calculated that within the next two months, he would be able to enhance the Inferior Demon persona's strength to the Divine Being level!
"For the next period of time, this is the plan for reality…"
"As for the simulations, I'll continue to enhance my strength!"
"Just waiting for a chance to accumulate and then erupt!"
Su Xing thought so.
Having a plan in mind, Su Xing set a route for his void journey.
This route started from the Little Qingyun World and aimed for the Starry World!
If he traveled in a straight line, Su Xing could travel between the two worlds in less than three days.
But Su Xing decided to take a slight detour.
With the Little Qingyun World and the Starry World as his core, he would collect all the hidden secret realms with Luo Tian inheritances around them.
Su Xing calculated that in two months, he would be able to collect about ten Luo Tian Sect inheritances!
By then, Su Xing's Energy Essence and foundation would be further strengthened!
"Since I've made my decision, let's set off!"
Su Xing said, taking a step forward and vanishing into the void with his physical body.
With Su Xing's current physical body and mastery of the Spatial Dao, the Starry Moon Shuttle's travel speed was completely inferior to Su Xing's main body.
However, the consumption of traveling through the void for a long time was still not insignificant.
Therefore, Su Xing would occasionally ride the Starry Moon Shuttle, taking the opportunity to recover his vital energy and comprehension.
…
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed!
At this moment, Azure Origin Realm, in a medium-sized world called Ruyi World.
Su Xing had collected the sixth Luo Tian inheritance and decided to see if there were any valuable energy materials in this world to purchase.
As he searched, Su Xing actually discovered that in Ruyi World, a magical fruit called the Ruyi Fruit contained a considerable amount of energy.
This fruit was very magical. After consuming a small fruit, a dream as real as reality would be born.
The dream was so real that even immortals would find it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Many cultivators regarded this fruit as a "source of joy."
A small Ruyi Fruit could allow cultivators to have a fleeting dream, doing whatever they wanted in the dream, satisfying their seven emotions and six desires.
Some cultivators also used the Ruyi Fruit to refine their mental state, seeking opportunities within the dream.
The Ruyi Fruit, therefore, gained its name!
As for Su Xing, the usefulness of this Ruyi Fruit was more for making a profit from the difference in energy.
One Ruyi Fruit was worth a hundred top-grade spirit stones and contained about fifty Energy Essence!
If Su Xing directly exchanged top-grade spirit stones for Energy Essence, a hundred top-grade spirit stones would only exchange for ten Energy Essence.
Therefore, although the Ruyi Fruit's cost-effectiveness was not as good as iron essence, it was still not bad.
Moreover, the number of Ruyi Fruits was quite considerable!
Many trading houses would come to Ruyi World to purchase large quantities of Ruyi Fruits, in order to sell them at a high price in other worlds.
And Su Xing, spending tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones, purchased 100,000 Ruyi Fruits!
This was equivalent to the entire Ruyi World's annual output!
And 100,000 Ruyi Fruits brought Su Xing a profit of nearly 5 million Energy Essence!
"Spirit stones are useless, Energy Essence… is extremely useful!"
Su Xing turned and entered the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, muttering to himself.
He looked at the Simulator panel. At this moment, Su Xing's Energy Essence was 52,067,689!
The useless resources from the six Luo Tian Sect inheritances, plus one trade, had brought Su Xing a profit of over 10 million Energy Essence.
For this, Su Xing had spent nearly a month!
Thinking of this, Su Xing already missed the days when he was madly earning Energy Essence in the Endless Abyss!
"Sigh… but this is enough!"
"I've accumulated five simulation chances… then it's time to start a new round of simulations!"
Su Xing murmured:
"Begin simulation!"
