Chapter 343: Chapter 294: Refining Void Realm, The Meaning of Dao Companions

The mountain was far sturdier than Xu Chang’an had expected.

Still, with his current abilities, he could probably blast open a small cave-dwelling if he went all out.

But that would cause a huge commotion. ’The risk is too great, and it isn’t necessary!’

In the end, Xu Chang’an found a natural pile of massive boulders.

He set up multiple layers of Array Restrictions around the area, then turned his attention to his status panel.

Name: Xu Chang’an

Bloodline: Thunder Flame Rat (Hong-level Bloodline)

Lifespan: 1,189,200 years

Realm: Early-stage Divinity Transformation

Skills: Alchemy (Tier Three Middle Grade)

Energy: (16,867,285/1,500,000)

...

After arriving in the Great Realm, the lifespan displayed on Xu Chang’an’s panel had undergone a world-shaking change.

It had gone from the previous 11,892 years to 1,189,200 years!

Furthermore...

’Over 16.8 million Energy!’

Xu Chang’an’s heart burned with excitement as he stared at the Energy value on his panel.

Back in the Cangyu World, he had been unable to break through due to the world’s rules.

But now that he was in a Great Realm, he could achieve successive breakthroughs with the help of his panel.

Without hesitation, Xu Chang’an focused his mind.

’Break through!’

BOOM!

An aura shot up from around Xu Chang’an, spreading out from him as the center.

This breakthrough, unlike his breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation Realm in the Cangyu World, didn’t cause any celestial phenomena.

The Spiritual Qi in the Great Realm was a hundred times denser than in Cangyu. There was no need to absorb it in a vortex; the ambient Qi was more than enough to supply the breakthrough within the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Additionally, the pressure in the Great Realm was hundreds of times greater, causing the aura from Xu Chang’an’s breakthrough to be contained within the Array Restriction, preventing it from spreading further.

With the dense and sufficient supply of Spiritual Qi in the Great Realm, there was no need to draw in Qi from a wide area like before. As a result, Xu Chang’an’s breakthrough speed was extremely fast!

’Mid-stage Divinity Transformation!’

’I still have over 15.36 million Energy! It takes three million Energy Points to break through to Late-stage Divinity Transformation!’

’Continue!’

BOOM!

His aura changed again as Spiritual Qi surged wildly!

The concealment of the Array and the pressure of the Great Realm kept the breakthrough’s aura from spreading outward.

After half an hour, the aura around Xu Chang’an stabilized.

’Late-stage Divinity Transformation!’

’It costs five million Energy Points to break into the Void Refining Realm! And I still have over 12.36 million Energy Points!’

’Continue!’

BOOM!

An aura far surpassing the previous two breakthroughs suddenly erupted!

Even under the immense pressure of the Great Realm, it broke through the cover of the Array Restriction and spread outward.

Fortunately, it only covered a range of a few miles and wasn’t as terrifying as one might imagine.

Even so, if any powerful members of the Demon Race were nearby, this small disturbance would be enough to attract their attention.

Breaking from the Divinity Transformation Realm to the Void Refining Realm was a breakthrough into a new Great Realm of cultivation.

After stepping into the Void Refining Realm, the Primordial Spirit would become much more solid, unlike how it was in the Divinity Transformation stage.

The Primordial Spirit of a Void Refining Realm cultivator was no longer just a decoration used for buffs or bursts of Primordial Spirit Power. It could now truly participate in battle.

A battle between Primordial Spirits!

Although there were still significant limitations, it undoubtedly provided more techniques and terrifying combat power.

Previously, a Defensive Spiritual Treasure only needed to account for attacks on the Magic and physical levels.

But with the involvement of the Primordial Spirit, one also had to consider attacks on the spiritual level.

Furthermore, for a member of the Void Refining Demon Race, their Primordial Spirit Power would completely replace their Demon Power as the conventional means of driving Spiritual Treasures.

Advancing from Divinity Transformation to Refining Void required passing through three great passes.

The Primordial Spirit Pass, the Thunder Tribulation Pass, and the Heart Demon Pass!

The Primordial Spirit transforms and solidifies!

Thunderbolts temper the Primordial Spirit!

The Heart Demon strengthens the Dao Heart!

Xu Chang’an’s Dao Heart was exceptionally firm, and with the help of his panel, the three passes didn’t pose much of an obstacle.

During the Heart Demon Pass, however, he once again experienced countless cycles of reincarnation.

The worlds he experienced this time were even more bizarre and numerous.

There were iron birds that flew in the sky and iron shells that moved on the ground like Mechanical Puppets.

Bizarre creatures ran rampant, while Great Cultivators suppressed the heavens and the earth.

The Yin Department was in chaos and ghosts filled the mortal realm, so a Great Power rebuilt the cycle of reincarnation.

In one story after another, Xu Chang’an took on different roles, experiencing event after event.

What felt like ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand years, was in reality less than a single day.

Xu Chang’an slowly opened his eyes, feeling the power within himself.

Name: Xu Chang’an

Bloodline: Thunder Flame Rat (Hong-level Bloodline)

Lifespan: 11,892,000 years

Realm: Early-stage Void Refining

Skills: Alchemy (Tier Three Middle Grade)

Energy: (7,367,285/8,000,000)

...

’A lifespan of over ten million years! This isn’t just the hope of Longevity anymore, this is true Longevity!’

’A lifespan this long could rival that of some worlds with weak foundations!’

’My physical strength is comparable to an ordinary Upper-Grade Spiritual Treasure, and my claws and fangs are close to a Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure! This kind of combat power...’

’This Tier Three Alchemy Skill is completely falling behind my current Cultivation. The gap is too wide! I have a Tier Seven Alchemy Inheritance now, so I should study it diligently when I get the chance. With my current cultivation foundation and solidified Primordial Spirit, mastering the fundamentals of Basic Pill Art should allow me to grasp everything else with ease!’

Xu Chang’an continued to assess the changes within himself.

With limited information, he didn’t know his exact combat strength, but he was sure it far surpassed that of an ordinary Early-stage Void Refining cultivator.

He had acquired some Magic in the Secret Realm before, which he could now start practicing.

After assessing the changes, Xu Chang’an tried to devour the Artifact Spirit of an Upper-Grade Spiritual Treasure.

He tried twice and found that he was still unable to devour the Artifact Spirit of an Upper-Grade Spiritual Treasure at the Early-stage of the Void Refining Realm.

To do so, he would likely need to reach the Mid-stage of the Void Refining Realm.

’Breaking through to Mid-stage Void Refining requires eight million Energy Points! With my current Energy accumulation, I’m still short by over six hundred thousand! That’s about the amount of Energy provided by the Artifact Spirits of two Ordinary Spiritual Treasures!’
