This Twisted Three Kingdoms Game Is Brutally Insane
Chapter 254 : New Cultivation Art — Thousand Phoenixes Scorch the Prairie! The Calamity Army Sweeps Forward Unstoppably!
Shaxian had originally been a cold, lifeless Undead city.
Since many Undead buildings and facilities constantly emitted frigid Yin energy, the city remained shrouded in freezing temperatures all year round.
At this moment, however, the frost covering both the ground and the city walls was melting at astonishing speed.
The temperature throughout the entire area had risen by well over ten degrees in a very short time.
The Human forces had not yet completely occupied the city, which meant the Undead buildings inside were still functioning.
The reason such a dramatic transformation had occurred was primarily because of Hang Yu's intervention.
Hang Yu's power was simply too overwhelming.
The might of the Tyrannical Blazing Flame Saber Art was ferocious.
Empowered by the Martial Saint's Three Slashes, its destructive force had multiplied several times over.
The energy and saber aura released from those few strikes alone were enough to melt ice and snow, directly altering the environment of the entire region while allowing everyone present to witness the Lord's terrifying strength.
The Corpse Lich Lord was dead!
This terrifying existence had only barely been held back even when Jia Xu, Zhou Cang, and Wen Pin fought together.
Yet before the Lord...
he hadn't even lasted five exchanges!
The entire battle had been nothing short of complete domination.
When everyone looked at the enormous saber scar stretching nearly a hundred meters across the ground, then glanced at the city wall that had been sliced apart with a single strike, every one of them widened their eyes in utter shock.
There was no doubt about it!
Compared to when he had fought Demonic Zhang Xiu...
the Lord's strength had increased tremendously once again!
Even Jia Xu was astonished by the Lord's current power.
Although the Corpse Lich Lord Xie Ming was still somewhat inferior to Dian Wei in direct combat, the difference between them wasn't very great.
Both possessed Overlord status.
Both were at the same cultivation level.
Yet the Lord had defeated him so effortlessly.
Such strength far exceeded Jia Xu's expectations.
Even if Xie Ming had fought at full strength without any prior exhaustion, he probably could have lasted only eight or ten exchanges against the Lord.
If the Lord could defeat Xie Ming within ten exchanges...
then dealing with Demonic Dian Wei would likely take only around twenty.
This Human Lord's growth rate was simply too terrifying!
Wen Pin and the Black Tiger officers under his command were both shocked and exhilarated.
Especially the ten Black Tiger officers and all the soldiers from New Wan.
This was the first time they had ever witnessed the Lord fighting personally.
Powerful!
Too powerful!
After this battle...
their next objective would be reclaiming Old Wan.
The territory's influence would expand even further.
The Abyssal force that had terrorized Wan for over a century...
the nightmare that had shrouded everyone in fear...
had finally reached the point where it could be completely eradicated.
Every native of this land couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.
Xie Ming was dead!
The overall situation had been decided!
Only then did Hang Yu finally relax.
His strength had indeed increased significantly recently.
Besides improvements to his skills and equipment...
the greatest increase came from his Lord Talent, Heart of the Pioneer, reaching maximum level.
Otherwise,
although he still could have defeated Xie Ming,
he certainly wouldn't have crushed him so effortlessly.
Xie Ming had fought with everything he possessed.
Yet from beginning to end...
he hadn't even been given the opportunity to properly fight back.
If not for Xie Ming's exceptional survivability making him difficult to kill,
Hang Yu probably wouldn't have even needed three exchanges.
The moment Xie Ming died,
a Blue loot drop immediately appeared.
Because Hang Yu had first broken Xie Ming's transformation before nearby Calamity Army players finished him off,
the Heaven's Blessing tenfold drop rate had successfully been triggered.
【You examined the loot: Abyss Essence +3,960,000, Abyss Crystals +50,000, Xie Ming's Crown +1, Xie Ming's Scepter +1, Xie Ming's Robe +1, Xie Ming's Ring +1, Xie Ming's Necklace +1, Aptitude Spirit Orb Fragment +10, "Aptitude Spirit Orb: Eye of Purgatory" +1!】
Not only had Xie Ming dropped five top-grade Blue equipment pieces,
he had also dropped ten Spirit Orb Fragments,
along with one complete Spirit Orb.
Most importantly,
both the fragments and the completed Spirit Orb
were all Blue quality.
"Very nice."
Throughout this territorial war,
several Talent Spirit Orb materials had already dropped from Corpse Lich Territory Hero Units.
However,
every single one had only been Green quality.
This was the first time Blue-quality materials had appeared.
Not only had Blue fragments dropped,
there was even a complete Spirit Orb.
As expected of a Lord!
These Talent materials would never end up in players' hands.
Therefore,
the instant the loot appeared,
Little Eight activated the Treasure Gathering Spirit Orb and automatically collected every Spirit Orb material.
Before the players picked up the remaining loot,
Hang Yu quickly inspected everything else.
Every equipment piece had been worn by Xie Ming himself.
Not only were they all Tier-Three Blue High-Grade equipment,
their lowest enhancement level was already +6.
Very nice indeed.
After some modifications at the Refining Workshop,
they could immediately be used by Humans.
Although the final boss of the Corpse Lich Territory had triggered the tenfold drop rate,
the players themselves hadn't actually contributed much to defeating him.
Hang Yu didn't want them developing the habit of expecting rewards without effort.
Therefore,
he took away two-thirds of the Essence,
two-thirds of the loot,
and three of the equipment pieces.
The players could only obtain the remaining Essence,
Abyss Crystals,
and two pieces of equipment.
They quickly realized
that the drop rate had been reduced.
It was probably only around three to five times the normal rate.
Even so,
the Calamity Army wasn't disappointed.
After all,
they had merely benefited from someone else's efforts.
They hadn't participated in the battle itself,
nor had they contributed meaningful damage.
A reduced drop rate was only natural.
Besides,
even after the reduction,
the Essence and Abyss Crystal rewards remained extremely generous.
More importantly,
there were still two top-tier Blue High-Grade,
highly enhanced pieces of equipment!
Their auction value
would conservatively be worth several luxury apartments!
"We struck it rich this time!"
"Thank you for your generosity, Lord!"
"Everyone, keep pushing! Let's wipe out the remaining enemies!"
"..."
Not long afterward,
the players successfully captured the Blessing Point.
【You have occupied "Shaxian City"!】
【Maximum Skill Tower construction limit +1...】
Once the Human Territory activated the Blessing Point,
many new buildings became available for construction.
At the same time,
nearly all the city's Undead facilities
completely lost their function.
The city had now become a Human city.
Naturally,
Undead creatures could no longer remain.
Otherwise,
their Yin aura would negatively affect ordinary Human citizens.
The Calamity Army immediately began clearing away the remaining enemy troops,
along with every Undead Skeleton civilian.
"We did it!"
"The occupation succeeded!"
"We've taken the city!"
"I never expected it to go so smoothly!"
"..."
As the Calamity Army celebrated around the Shaxian Blessing Point,
every player simultaneously received a notification.
【Ding! You have completed the Stage Two Mission. Abyss Essence +150,000, Contribution Points +150,000. You have obtained a "Silver Treasure Chest"!】
Everyone received their mission rewards.
Figures such as Ye Li Meng,
Black-Eyed Rui Ge,
and the other Legion Commanders,
along with elite players like Lone Boat,
Old Mad Saber Wang,
and Salted Fish Charge,
each received well over one hundred thousand Essence and Contribution Points.
The highest possible reward for this mission
was only a Silver Treasure Chest.
This meant that,
although the Calamity Army had contributed significantly during the second stage,
their accumulated military achievements
still hadn't reached an outstanding level.
"Sigh..."
"Another Silver Treasure Chest..."
"We still have a lot of room for improvement."
"Honestly, getting a few Silver evaluations isn't bad."
"They're probably only giving us this because we wiped out most of the Corpse Lich Territory's main army."
"Otherwise, judging by how important we actually were in this battle, we'd probably only deserve a Bronze evaluation."
"..."
The rewards were already generous enough to surprise everyone.
Still,
thinking about how much better they could have performed,
and how many more rewards they might have earned,
everyone felt somewhat regretful.
However...
it was precisely because of that regret
that the players would work even harder during future missions.
At that moment,
Hang Yu arrived at the Blessing Point together with Jia Xu,
Zhang Zhongjing,
and the others.
He first praised and encouraged the Calamity Army,
boosting everyone's morale,
before beginning to deal with the city itself.
There were four cities throughout the Xian Mountain region.
Among them,
Xiling and Shaxian
were clearly the largest and most important.
Because Shaxian lay closest to the Human Territory,
Xie Ming had invested enormous resources into it after the Lord War began,
constructing many more buildings and facilities.
In terms of materials and Abyss Crystal investment,
Shaxian alone
equaled the combined investment of the other three cities.
Unfortunately,
almost none of it had served any purpose.
The Human offensive had simply been too overwhelming.
Now,
the Humans had occupied the city.
Unfortunately,
nearly every building and facility inside
was exclusive to the Undead race.
For Humans,
they were nothing more than useless decorations.
There was only one option.
Recycle them.
Hang Yu activated the Starsea Blessing.
【You are beginning Reverse Summoning on all buildings in Shaxian City. During the recycling process, you will obtain materials or items. Continue? Yes / No】
"Yes."
【You recycled every building within Shaxian City. Tier-One Material Essence +143,500, Tier-Two Material Essence +62,513, Tier-Three Material Essence +39,570, "Construction Blueprint: Corpse Vault" +1!】
Not bad at all!
Tier-One and Tier-Two materials weren't particularly valuable.
Yet nearly forty thousand Tier-Three materials had been obtained!
This was probably because Shaxian contained so many Tier-Three buildings.
Forty thousand Tier-Three materials
were equivalent to
four hundred thousand Tier-Two materials,
or
four million Tier-One materials!
In addition,
one blueprint had also been obtained.
【Construction Blueprint: Corpse Vault】
Tier-Two Building Blueprint.
Construction Cost:
50,000 Abyss Crystals +100,000 Tier-Two Material Essence.
This was a universal Tier-Two blueprint.
It also belonged to the Barracks-type category,
allowing the summoning of special units.
These summoned units
could neither be cultivated nor leveled.
Hang Yu still possessed an unused Tier-Three Blood Spear Barracks blueprint.
That blueprint could directly summon Tier-Three Blood Spearmen.
Such blueprints
were extremely useful for most Lords,
especially naturally weak races like Humans.
Not only could they reduce territorial losses during expansion,
they could also create powerful special armies during Lord Wars or other emergencies.
However...
Hang Yu had never particularly liked this type of building.
The blueprints,
construction costs,
and recruitment expenses
were all extremely high.
Meanwhile,
his territory already possessed the immortal Calamity Army.
There was little need to waste resources creating armies with no growth potential.
There were,
however,
exceptions.
Certain extremely rare special buildings
could summon troops that possessed growth potential.
Others,
although lacking growth potential,
could recruit unique units with valuable functions,
such as production,
logistical support,
or other useful territorial purposes.
If Hang Yu encountered those types of recruitment blueprints,
he would naturally consider constructing them.
Unfortunately,
such blueprints were exceptionally rare.
Even if they could be purchased,
their prices would be astronomical.
There were also certain recruitment buildings whose summoned units couldn't level up,
yet the buildings themselves
could continue being upgraded.
This indirectly allowed the summoned troops
to become stronger.
The Corpse Vault obtained this time
belonged to precisely that category.
As an outstanding graduate of the Lord Academy,
Hang Yu was familiar with the common universal blueprints used by every race.
Among the Undead recruitment facilities,
three were by far the most common.
They were:
Burial Grounds,
Mass Grave Hill,
and
Corpse Vault.
These three Starsea facilities respectively summoned
Skeletons,
Zombies,
and Wraiths as basic troops.
These three Undead unit types
were extremely common not only among Undead Lords,
but many Lords of other races
also acquired these universal blueprints through various channels.
Although the Corpse Vault Hang Yu had obtained was only a Tier-Two blueprint,
this series of blueprints was relatively common,
could continue being upgraded,
and therefore still possessed respectable value and potential.
According to Hang Yu's knowledge,
constructing a Tier-Two Corpse Vault
would unlock either
1,000 Level 11 Tier-Two Giant Strength Zombies,
or
5,000 Level 10 Tier-One Great Strength Zombies.
In terms of combat ability,
both Giant Strength Zombies
and Great Strength Zombies
were extremely weak.
They barely reached Elite rank,
and were painfully slow and unintelligent.
Because of this,
most Lords rarely expected them to fight.
Instead,
they were commonly used for manual labor,
such as carrying cargo,
mining,
and other physically demanding work.
In that regard,
they performed exceptionally well.
There was another function as well.
Population.
That function
was equally important.
For Lords,
population itself
was a valuable resource.
Although Lords could expand their territories by incorporating native inhabitants,
most Lords ruled so brutally
that their populations only continued shrinking.
Furthermore,
some planes simply possessed very few native inhabitants.
To solve population shortages,
many Lords purchased mass-recruitment buildings.
Although the units produced were often weak and useless,
they still counted as valid territorial population
simply by existing as territory units.
This made them an effective method of replenishing or maintaining minimum population levels.
Unlike high-quality barracks such as the Blood Spear Barracks,
the Corpse Vault produced rather poor-quality units.
Even if sold,
it probably wouldn't fetch a very high price.
Still,
it possessed considerable room for future upgrades.
Perhaps...
it would be better kept for personal use.
As a Tier-Three Lord,
Hang Yu already governed over more than four hundred thousand citizens.
That was already an impressive labor force.
But...
who would ever complain about having too many subjects?
Thanks to his Soul of the King Talent,
the greater the number of effective units under his rule,
the greater the enhancement he personally received.
Moreover,
although these Zombies were weak,
every one of them possessed tremendous physical strength,
worked tirelessly,
never complained,
and never grew exhausted.
They could easily perform heavy labor,
thereby improving the quality of life for his genuine Human citizens.
In that case...
he might as well keep it.
The Corpse Vault specialized in overwhelming numbers.
A Tier-Two Corpse Vault alone
unlocked five thousand Great Strength Zombies.
A Tier-Three Corpse Vault
could summon as many as twenty-five thousand.
Even if every single one spent day and night mining,
they would eventually earn back the entire cost of their own summoning.
After Hang Yu completed the Reverse Summoning,
every Undead building throughout Shaxian disappeared.
The city's Yin aura likewise vanished.
Within only a few days,
the environment would likely return to normal.
Hang Yu then rebuilt the city walls,
constructed several essential facilities,
and transferred five barracks into the city,
allowing players to safely log out and rest.
From now on,
players who died
could resurrect in Shaxian.
Those who became tired
could also safely log out there.
The city
would become the Calamity Army's newest base.
After completing the basic construction,
Hang Yu chose not to participate in the subsequent battles.
Instead,
he left everything to the Calamity Army.
"Brothers and sisters!"
"Although we've captured Shaxian City..."
"And although, with the assistance of our wise and mighty Lord, together with the flawless strategies of our brilliant Military Advisor, that Corpse Lich Lord has already been completely defeated..."
"We can already declare victory!"
"But we're still far from completely conquering the Corpse Lich Territory."
"So now is not the time to celebrate!"
Black-Eyed Rui Ge nodded.
"Exactly."
"According to our intelligence, there are still three cities and seventeen or eighteen villages remaining within the Xian Mountain region alone."
"Besides that, the Corpse Lich Territory still controls two additional regions beyond Xian Mountain."
"I estimate it'll still take at least another week or so before we've completely wiped them out and fully absorbed everything."
That was indeed the case.
The Corpse Lich Territory
wasn't small.
Simply traveling through all of it
would already consume considerable time.
Little Bell immediately objected.
"No! We can't waste time anymore!"
"There's less than four days left on the mission timer!"
"We should prioritize completing the mission first!"
Ye Li Meng nodded as well.
"Forget the other areas for now."
"The Corpse Lich Territory has already lost all momentum."
"They can't make a comeback anymore."
"Let's open the route directly to their core city first, then seize the main city as quickly as possible!"
Arthur King agreed.
"I agree."
Toasting the Moon also nodded.
"So do I."
After only a brief period of rest and regrouping inside Shaxian,
the Calamity Army reached a unanimous decision.
They would first capture the Corpse Lich Territory's main city at maximum speed.
Only afterward
would they slowly absorb the remaining Blessing Points.
After all,
the remaining territory wasn't going anywhere.
Completing the mission
was the top priority.
Meanwhile...
Hang Yu had already returned to the Luoshui Main City.
Naturally,
he observed everything the Calamity Army was doing.
Although Netherblood City possessed extremely formidable defenses,
it had lost its Lord
and lacked sufficient troops.
No matter how sturdy the city walls were,
they were meaningless.
With four full days remaining,
there was absolutely no problem for the Calamity Army to capture it.
After annexing Netherblood City's Core Blessing Point,
they could recover every building throughout the Corpse Lich Territory.
That
was the true grand prize awarded to the victor of a Lord War.
Hang Yu was quite curious
about what treasures the Corpse Lich Territory's Starsea Chest would contain.
He also wished to reclaim every building throughout the territory as quickly as possible,
obtaining enough materials for the territory's current stage of development.
For now,
however,
he could only wait patiently.
The Calamity Army had already departed.
The outcome
was no longer in doubt.
Hang Yu didn't remain idle after returning to the main city.
Thanks to recycling Shaxian City's buildings,
combined with the enormous quantity of Abyss Crystals players had contributed,
he finally possessed enough materials
to construct the Third-Order Enlightenment Tower.
The prerequisites for constructing a Third-Order Enlightenment Tower were:
One Second-Order Enlightenment Tower,
one Third-Order Enlightenment Tower Blueprint,
200,000 Abyss Crystals,
and
50,000 Tier-Three Materials.
Even among Tier-Three buildings,
this construction cost
was extraordinarily expensive.
However,
the Enlightenment Tower was invaluable for territorial development
and the cultivation of top-tier combatants.
After advancing,
its functions would improve tenfold.
No matter how costly,
it was absolutely worthwhile.
Without the slightest hesitation,
Hang Yu consumed the blueprint and materials.
The territory's sole Enlightenment Tower immediately shone brilliantly.
Although its outward appearance barely changed,
everyone could clearly sense
that the aura surrounding it had become vastly more powerful.
"Finally."
"It's complete."
The Third-Order Enlightenment Tower
possessed functions far superior to those of the Second-Order version.
For example,
it could now synthesize Purple-quality skills and cultivation arts.
The Second-Order Enlightenment Tower
could already synthesize skills into cultivation arts.
However,
it lacked the ability to fuse different cultivation arts together.
The Third-Order Enlightenment Tower
could not only create Purple-quality skills,
but could also merge cultivation arts of Blue quality or below.
This not only made creating higher-level cultivation arts possible,
it also dramatically improved efficiency.
This
was the enhancement brought by advancing a building.
It was incredibly powerful.
Hang Yu pondered,
"Nothing else requires my immediate attention."
"My territory currently has more Essence than I can spend."
"I might as well test the Third-Order Enlightenment Tower's new functions."
With that thought,
he approached the newly advanced tower.
Hang Yu initiated another Enlightenment session.
He possessed countless skills.
The possible combinations for synthesis
numbered in the hundreds or even thousands.
This time, however,
he had no intention of comprehending new skills.
Instead,
he chose Tyrannical Blazing Flame Saber Art
and
Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear Technique
as the foundation.
That's right.
The Tyrannical Blazing Flame Saber Art
was a Blue-quality cultivation art.
The Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear Technique
was likewise Blue quality.
Hang Yu intended to use the Third-Order Enlightenment Tower
to merge the two cultivation arts themselves.
The cost would be astonishing.
But success
would produce extraordinary rewards.
【Ding! You are comprehending and merging "Tyrannical Blazing Flame Saber Art" and "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear Technique." This Enlightenment will consume 520,000 Essence!】
A single attempt...
cost over five hundred thousand Essence!
Even Hang Yu couldn't help being startled.
Then again,
this was Enlightenment at the cultivation art level.
Each cultivation art contained over a dozen different techniques.
The Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear Technique alone possessed eighteen forms.
The Tyrannical Blazing Flame Saber Art
could likewise be divided into over a dozen different moves.
If every one of those techniques were freely recombined,
hundreds of possible combinations would emerge.
Even half a month
wouldn't be enough to test them all.
Such an enormous cost
was perfectly reasonable.
Hang Yu didn't hesitate.
After all,
there weren't many things he had in abundance.
Essence,
however,
was one of them.
He spent the Essence.
Cleared his mind.
And officially began his Enlightenment.
Within his body,
countless tiny figures suddenly split apart.
Like fireworks,
tens of thousands of miniature selves scattered across endless space.
Some wielded sabers.
Others carried spears.
They clashed endlessly.
Closer inspection revealed
that they were using the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear Technique
and the Tyrannical Blazing Flame Saber Art.
Their battle itself
represented the process of dismantling,
combining,
and fusing the two cultivation arts.
In the blink of an eye,
those countless miniature figures
had already exchanged hundreds of thousands,
even millions,
of moves.
An endless torrent of insights flooded Hang Yu's mind.
Yet,
when the final miniature figure disappeared,
no true breakthrough occurred.
"A bit difficult."
"But not a problem."
Fusing two cultivation arts
really wasn't easy.
Rather than becoming discouraged,
Hang Yu's fighting spirit only grew stronger.
He continued pouring in Essence.
【Essence -520,000!】
【Essence -520,000!】
【Essence -520,000!】
【...】
【Enlightenment Failed!】
Hang Yu had already failed over ten consecutive attempts.
His Essence expenditure
had already exceeded six million.
Yet his expression remained completely calm.
Six million?
Who are you looking down on?
Another ten failures passed.
The total cost
had already reached 12.48 million Essence.
Such an expense
would seriously injure any ordinary Tier-Three Lord.
Yet Hang Yu remained completely unmoved.
At his territory's current stage of development,
ten million Essence
was barely worth mentioning.
However,
after twenty-four failures,
his inspiration and understanding
continued accumulating.
He could clearly feel
that success was drawing ever closer.
These two cultivation arts
could definitely be fused!
"Again!"
Twenty-fifth attempt.
Failure.
Twenty-sixth attempt.
Failure.
...
Twenty-ninth attempt.
Still failure.
Yet Hang Yu's eyes
only shone brighter.
Success
was only a single step away.
The thirtieth attempt began.
The instant Enlightenment started,
countless miniature saber-wielders and spear-wielders erupted once more.
Within an extremely short period,
they again exchanged hundreds of thousands,
even millions,
of techniques.
Finally...
a completely new change appeared.
Some of the miniature figures
successfully merged together.
At the same time,
an entirely new cultivation art,
along with completely new insights,
began rapidly forming within his Sea of Consciousness.
This cultivation art
perfectly merged saber techniques
and spear techniques into one.
It possessed both the explosive ferocity of the Tyrannical Blazing Flame Saber Art
and the graceful agility of the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear Technique.
The strengths of the two Blue cultivation arts
had perfectly complemented one another.
【Ding! Enlightenment successful! You have comprehended "Thousand Phoenixes Scorch the Prairie"!】
"It worked!"
Hang Yu couldn't help feeling delighted.
He immediately checked its information.
————
【Thousand Phoenixes Scorch the Prairie】
Blue-quality Cultivation Art.
Current Skill Level: 5.
Permanent Agility +560.
Permanent Strength +540.
After activating the cultivation art,
consumes 1,000 Mana per minute.
Weapon Attack +300.
Fire-attribute Skill Damage +300.
Damage Reduction +300.
Attack Speed +350.
Movement Speed +180.
Agility +180.
Cooldown of all lower-tier skills -70%.
Mana Consumption of all skills -50%.
Effects of all lower-tier skills +40%.
————
"Still Blue quality? It's still just a little short."
Hang Yu felt slightly disappointed.
He had hoped to get lucky.
Apparently, Purple-quality cultivation arts weren't that easy to obtain.
Then again...
although it was still Blue quality,
Thousand Phoenixes Scorch the Prairie was already extremely close to Purple quality.
After comprehending it, the cultivation art automatically reached Level 5.
Even though it was only Level 5, its permanent attribute bonuses already equaled the combined maximum bonuses of both original cultivation arts.
More importantly, its effects were absurdly powerful.
Once Hang Yu activated Thousand Phoenixes Scorch the Prairie, both the Tyrannical Blazing Flame Saber Art
and the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear Technique would simultaneously receive massive enhancements.
The Tyrannical Blazing Flame Saber Art became more agile and versatile.
Meanwhile, the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear Technique
gained explosive increases in destructive power.
Without hesitation, Hang Yu spent another 4.5 million Essence.
He immediately raised the cultivation art to maximum level.
Its permanent Agility bonus increased to 1,450.
Its permanent Strength bonus rose to 1,200.
The cultivation art's overall effects and power also received substantial improvements.
"Excellent."
"Very good."
"It may not have reached Purple quality, but it's more than enough to greatly increase my strength."
Hang Yu was very satisfied with this Enlightenment.
He truly wanted to find a worthy opponent to test its power.
Unfortunately... finding someone capable of giving him a proper fight was no easy matter.
Every opponent he encountered now
was simply too weak.
Even Dian Wei inside Old Wan City
probably wouldn't satisfy him anymore.
This… was the loneliness of invincibility.
"Little Eight, how much time did this Enlightenment session consume altogether?"
"Reporting to Master, a total of seventy-five hours."
"So... three days."
Hang Yu wasn't surprised.
Cultivation Art-level skills were exceptionally complicated.
Besides, it had taken thirty separate Enlightenment attempts before finally succeeding.
Leaving the Enlightenment Tower, Hang Yu returned to the Lord's Hall.
He began reviewing the territory logs to understand recent developments.
At that very moment, Little Eight suddenly spoke again.
"The Calamity Army has breached Netherblood City!"
Hang Yu's spirits immediately lifted.
The Calamity Army's morale was soaring, their advance unstoppable.
Without its Lord, Netherblood City clearly couldn't withstand many assaults.
Everything was progressing remarkably smoothly.
Truly, double happiness had arrived.
It was finally time to receive the rewards of this war.
