Su Xiao sat atop the Lord's Train, watching the embers continuously drift upward into the sky. Although he had won this battle, he had gained a deeper understanding: after advancing to the supreme level, his accumulation at that level was still insufficient.
This kind of accumulation, built up through time and battle, clearly could not be achieved by piling up resources. Everything had its advantages and disadvantages, and the same was true of technique grandmasters. While gaining T0-tier combat strength among those of the same rank in the later stages, he had also lost the possibility of growing limitlessly stronger simply by piling up resources.
However, nothing in the world was absolute. Su Xiao now had an opportunity—the "Promotion Ritual" corresponding to the level above grandmaster. It was not the highest tier. By paying 120,000 ounces of Space-Time Power to activate it, he could fuse and transform three "Grandmaster-level Technique Abilities" that had reached Lv.95, obtaining a "technique-type" ability that surpassed the "grandmaster level" and belonged exclusively to Su Xiao.
This was his only chance to catch up with such accumulations built through time, but it also required an astronomical amount of resources.
Blade Technique Grandmaster and Melee Grandmaster were easy enough. Both had already passed the Lv.95 threshold. Though the resources required afterward were terrifying, they could at least be obtained. Blood Spear Grandmaster required "Blood Origin." There was only one way to obtain it: kill the "Ferocious Beast, Fei," and he had to kill it personally.
The only good news was that one "Ferocious Beast, Fei" still existed in the entire Astral Realm, located deep within the Ancient Battlefield.
This time, after returning, Su Xiao had to go to the Ancient Battlefield and fight that "Ferocious Beast, Fei" to the death.
