Great Strength Bull Demon Technique, Fifth Layer (Part Two)
Purple Emperor, already severely injured under the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword, and with his Asura True Body's Hundred Zhang- tall form repeatedly unleashing spatial abilities, expending enormous energy, even Zi Imperial Capital felt somewhat overwhelmed by the Space Burial within a thousand-meter radius. Now, with Zhuge Xiang frantically rushing in to attack him, adding insult to injury, Purple Emperor knew he was doomed.
Since that was the case, the Purple Emperor steeled his resolve and conceived the idea of taking everyone down with him; this was his last gamble.
Taking a deep breath, Purple Emperor ignored the powerful blow from Zhuge Xiang's Dinghai Divine Sea Calming Divine Needle and instead gripped the Void Blade he held in his mouth. The incredibly sharp blade sliced through the Void, cutting a space in the pitch-black Void. It felt as if Purple Emperor had created a new space from the Void itself.
"Space Gate! Open!" Zhuge Xiang's Sea Calming Divine Needle slammed into Purple Emperor's head. The powerful attack immediately reduced Purple Emperor's HP, causing him to bleed profusely. However, Purple Emperor ignored it and simply shouted loudly.
Within the turbulent spatial currents, a crimson, blood-red space appeared. Clearly, the Purple Emperor had torn open a Space Gate leading to the outside world. Through that Space Gate, one could see a strange, deep, and dark space. Huge skeletons, as large as mountains, remnants of soldiers filled with murderous intent, and a dense, visible Resentful Fiendish Aura —it was unclear what Space Gate the Purple Emperor had torn open, but the Baleful Qi within was terrifyingly powerful.
Once that surging, Baleful Qi is unleashed, even a powerhouse at the level of Five Emperors would find it difficult to withstand.
"The Immortal-Demon Battlefield!? He actually opened Space Gate leading to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield?" Seeing the Space Gate torn open by the Purple Emperor's resolute actions, several of the Nine Great Emperor Great Emperor suddenly stood up and exclaimed in shock.
"The Immortal-Demon Battlefield!?" Upon hearing the words of these Great Emperors, the expressions of the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain changed drastically, even though they couldn't recognize it. However, since the Great Emperor had spoken and revealed the Truth about the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, these people naturally understood that the other side of the Space Gate connected to the legendary and terrifying Immortal-Demon Battlefield.
In Ancient Times, before the Three Realms and Six Paths were separated, a terrible battle erupted between immortals and demons. That battle changed the very fabric of the Heaven and Earth, shattering mountains and rivers, and causing countless powerful beings to perish. Not only immortal and Immortal-Demon level powerhouses, but even Great Emperor level and Great Sage level perished. That battle caused the entire Heaven and Earth to collapse, and only then did the Three Realms and Six Paths come into being. However, after the division of the Three Realms and Six Paths, the Battlefield of the Immortal-Demon War became a Forbidden Ground even gods and demons feared to avoid. Countless immortals and demons perished on the Battlefield, including the remains of Great Sage level powerhouses. Over time, this gave rise to a terrifying Fiendish Aura even the powerful beings of the Demon Realm found difficult to withstand.
But now, in the battle with Zhuge Xiang, the Purple Emperor opened Space Gate to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield. Although it was just a spatial gate, the terrifying Baleful Qi that even immortals and demons feared most poured out of that Space Gate like a flood.
"Ah..." A terrifying Baleful Qi surged out like a tsunami. The already seriously injured Purple Emperor screamed in agony. Normally, Baleful Qi would not cause any harm to the human body, at most it would only affect a person's mind. However, the Baleful Qi in this Immortal-Demon Battlefield of immortals and demons, with its blood-red aura, could corrode everything in the world, whether it was the physical body or the Divine Sense.
The spatial turbulence was already difficult for Zhuge Xiang's physical body to withstand, and now, with endless Baleful Qi surging out, Zhuge Xiang was like a lone boat in a tsunami, in danger of being destroyed at any moment.
Zhuge Xiang's physical body, at the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique Fourth Layer, was originally incredibly powerful. However, at this moment, it was like a wax figure thrown into lava, rapidly melting away. In particular, the Fiendish Aura was eroding his Divine Sense, even giving Zhuge Xiang the illusion that his soul was about to be completely devoured.
"Ding! Trigger condition: You can now cultivate the Fifth Layer of the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique."
However, at that very moment, Mechanical System Prompt suddenly rang in Zhuge Xiang's mind. Upon hearing this, Zhuge Xiang was overjoyed and dared not be negligent in the slightest. He hurriedly activated the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique, using its Fiendish Aura to temper himself.
The Great Strength Bull Demon Technique is Cultivation Technique inherited from the Great Sage Pingtian the Demon Realm. The First Layer is tempered with the Daoist Samadhi True Fire, the Second Layer requires powerful striking force, the Third Layer level borrows the power of the Great Heavenly Tribulation to temper the bones, the Fourth Layer borrows the power of Liao Wufa, the Golden Body Bodhisattva and Bai Qi to forcibly cultivate, and as for the Fifth Layer, it is to temper the Divine Sense.
Originally, Zhuge Xiang had been unable to find a suitable thing to temper his Divine Sense, so his Great Strength Bull Demon Technique had remained at the Fourth Layer. Unexpectedly, the Space Gate opened by the Purple Emperor and the Fiendish Aura of the Immortal-Demon Battlefield corroded his Divine Sense, which perfectly met the conditions for him to cultivate the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique Fifth Layer.
Zhuge Xiang, bathed in that Fiendish Aura, his physical body melted away like a wax figure thrown into lava. However, as Zhuge Xiang the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique Fifth Layer, the strength of his physical body increased rapidly.
As one piece of flesh is dissolved, another piece of flesh will inevitably grow. Zhuge Xiang's body goes through repeated cycles of dissolution and regeneration, and the strength of his body increases rapidly.
"Everyone, let's join forces to close this Space Gate!" Countless Fiendish Aura surged forth, and if they were to spread, the consequences would be unimaginable. Several Great Emperor stood up without hesitation and said in solemn voices.
Although this Space Gate was only opened by the Purple Emperor, any of the Great Emperor present were far stronger than Purple Emperor. However, spatial abilities cannot be controlled simply by strength. Faced with this Space Gate, the Great Emperor joined forces to communicate with the will of the Asura Path, and only then were they able to slowly close it.
Zhuge Xiang's physical body was almost unrecognizable, as if it had melted away. His body was repeatedly melting and regenerating, and the pain he endured was unimaginable to ordinary people. However, Zhuge Xiang persevered. The Mechanical System Prompt made him clearly aware of his progress in cultivating the Fifth Layer of the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique. Every percentage point of progress felt like an eternity to Zhuge Xiang.
As the Space Gate slowly closed, the erosion of the Baleful Qi naturally weakened. In addition, Zhuge Xiang's progress in cultivating the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique Fifth Layer increased, causing the speed of Zhuge Xiang's physical regeneration to gradually surpass the speed of dissolution. Looking at it, Zhuge Xiang's body, which had been melting like a wax figure, was actually slowly recovering.
In fact, the Fifth Layer of the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique does not take long to cultivate, only a short period of twenty or thirty breaths. However, for Zhuge Xiang, under the inhuman pain, these mere twenty or thirty breaths felt incredibly long.
Fortunately, Zhuge Xiang finally succeeded in reaching the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique Fifth Layer. With the success of the Fifth Layer, Zhuge Xiang's Zhuge Xiang body underwent a qualitative leap, and the erosion of his body by the Baleful Qi was greatly reduced.
"Ding! Successfully mastered the Fifth Layer of the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique. HP increased by 1 million, physical attack and defense increased by 200,000, Divine Sense strength increased, and resistance to Mental Illusion attacks increased by 50%."
The Mechanical System Prompt made Zhuge Xiang ecstatic. Successfully completing the Fifth Layer of the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique had directly boosted his HP by 1 million. Moreover, his attack and defense had each increased by a full 200,000. This was almost like simultaneously gaining a powerful defensive and offensive Half-Immortal Artifact. This improvement was no small matter.
After Zhuge Xiang successfully completed the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique Fifth Layer, the Mechanical System Prompt did not end. Immediately afterwards, a continuous series of notification sounds rang out.
"Ding! You have defeated the Purple Emperor, a level above you, and gained 1.3 billion Experience Points and obtained the 'Sky-Forbidden God-Slaying Slash'."
"Ding! Level increased by 2. Current level: Great Accomplishment Stage, Second Layer".
"Ding! Mission 'Winning the Championship' completed, level +3, reward: 'Indestructible Will'".
"Ding! Current level: Fifth Layer of the Great Accomplishment Stage".
After defeating the Purple Emperor, Zhuge Xiang obtained a Skill Book. Moreover, the 1.5 billion Experience Points directly boosted his cultivation to the Third Layer level of the Great Accomplishment Stage Realm. In addition, with the reward for Winning the Championship, Zhuge Xiang's level skyrocketed to the Fifth Layer of the Great Accomplishment Stage. Furthermore, he also gained two more Skill Book in his inventory: "Sky-Forbidden God-Slaying Slash" and "Indestructible Will".
Such a bountiful harvest would have made Zhuge Xiang ecstatic under normal circumstances. However, Zhuge Xiang had no time to be happy now, because as his cultivation level reached the Great Accomplishment Stage Realm, he also faced the Immortal-Demon Tribulation Zhuge Xiang his cultivation path.
Rumble...
As Zhuge Xiang's cultivation reached the Great Accomplishment Stage, the Immortal-Demon Tribulation began. The already gloomy sky of the Asura Path resounded with an astonishing thunderclap. The terrifying and deafening thunderclap made people feel an unprecedented killing intent. This was the beginning of Zhuge Xiang's Immortal-Demon Tribulation.
The Purple Emperor's suicidal move resulted in his own death, but Zhuge Xiang survived. Several Great Emperor joined forces to close the Space Gate opened by the Purple Emperor and repaired the collapsed space of the Void Burial. The Great Emperor who presided over the Sacred War was about to announce Zhuge Xiang's victory when, at that moment, Zhuge Xiang's Immortal-Demon Tribulation was activated.
When Heaven unleashes its murderous intent, stars shift and constellations change; when Earth unleashes its murderous intent, dragons and snakes rise from the land; when man unleashes his murderous intent, Heaven and Earth are overturned...
As Zhuge Xiang's Immortal-Demon Tribulation began, the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain looked up at the sky and naturally sensed the killing intent of this Immortal-Demon Tribulation.
At this moment, they seemed to realize that Zhuge Xiang was merely Asura King who hadn't even survived the Immortal-Demon Tribulation, yet he had actually won the championship of this Sacred War. Such an achievement, while perhaps unparalleled in the future, was certainly unprecedented in the history of the Asura Path.
