Nascent Soul Overlord Combat Power, First Hearing of the Dark Soul Society

[Three years later, you spent 300 high-grade Spirit Stones to purchase resources and cultivated a simplified divine ability, Gale Force Speed.]

[Your speed greatly increased.]

[Seven years later, you spent 500 high-grade Spirit Stones to purchase resources and cultivated a simplified divine ability, Blazing Sun Spirit Body.]

[Your physical body's strength greatly improved.]

[Ten years later, you spent 450 high-grade Spirit Stones to purchase resources and cultivated a simplified divine ability, Sky Swallowing Bright Sun Sword.]

[Your burst attack power greatly increased.]

[Your strength has improved to a great extent.]

[You assessed your own strength, reaching the realm of a Nascent Soul Overlord in all aspects.]

"A Nascent Soul Overlord? Isn't that almost the same as True Monarch Mingyang?"

"Is the simulated Su Yang this strong? He's only at the second level of Nascent Soul."

Outside the simulation, Su Yang himself was shocked.

In the cultivation world, having the combat power of an Overlord at the second level of Nascent Soul was as absurd as a primary school student in his past life getting the top score on the college entrance exam.

For a normal Nascent Soul True Monarch to achieve Overlord combat power, at least three requirements must be met: 1. Condense a Nascent Soul of mid-grade quality or higher. 2. Cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage. 3. Master various divine abilities such as burst attack, speed, and physical body enhancement.

Note that these must be true divine abilities, not the simplified divine abilities cultivated by the simulated Su Yang.

Only then can one be considered to possess normal Nascent Soul Overlord combat power.

And the simulated Su Yang? Not only did he only cultivate simplified divine abilities, but his cultivation was also only at the second level of Nascent Soul, yet he directly reached the level of a Nascent Soul Overlord.

It was no wonder Su Yang himself found it absurd.

However, upon closer thought, everything had its reasons.

The most important factor was naturally the transcendent foundation laid by condensing the Supreme Golden Core.

Although its brilliance did not continue after breaking through to Nascent Soul, the original foundation did not disappear directly. Instead, it transformed into underlying strength.

This made the simulated Su Yang stronger than a normal Nascent Soul True Monarch who cultivated a top-tier Nascent Soul, in terms of magic power quality, soul quality, and physical body strength.

Furthermore, it was also related to the Bright Flame Qi.

Yes, that simplified divine ability.

Theoretically, it would not provide much of an increase to a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

However, when the simulated Su Yang cultivated it, he used the Skyfall Fire, the accompanying spirit fire of his own physique, for cultivation.

This made the Bright Flame Qi particularly compatible with him.

Its amplification effect on him could be compared to that of a normal amplification-type divine ability.

The combination of these two factors created the simulated Su Yang with Overlord combat power.

"The simulated Su Yang currently possesses the strength of a Nascent Soul Overlord. When his cultivation reaches the peak of Nascent Soul and he cultivates a few more true divine abilities, won't he be able to contend with a Deity Transformation Venerable?"

"Then what if he cultivates top-tier divine abilities? Will he have a chance to defeat or even kill an ordinary Deity Transformation cultivator!"

Nascent Soul killing Deity Transformation!

What a niche phrase.

Su Yang pondered for a moment and felt that the simulated Su Yang had a very promising future.

The simulation continued.

[You ventured into the Nascent Soul Heavenly Sword Path.]

[The final guardian's combat power was also that of a Nascent Soul Overlord.]

[After a fierce battle, you defeated him.]

[You passed the Nascent Soul Heavenly Sword Path.]

[You obtained a large amount of Sect Contribution.]

[Bell chimes rang within the Heavenly Sword Path, celebrating the birth of another Nascent Soul Overlord in the sect.]

[Several peak masters, hall masters, and many elders appeared on the outskirts of the Heavenly Sword Path formation.]

[They saw you emerge from the Heavenly Sword Path.]

[They were all greatly shocked.]

[Who could have imagined that you, having only recently broken through to Nascent Soul, would possess Nascent Soul Overlord combat power?]

[In terms of strength, you have already reached the same level as them, or even a higher one.]

[True Monarch Mingyang laughed and patted your shoulder: It seems the title of True Monarch Sun Sword will belong to you in the future.]

[You did not show any humility and nodded directly: I will take it.]

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, you returned to your residence and continued your diligent cultivation.

At 205 years old, during a cultivation session, your Fire Intent reached minor completion.

At 210 years old, your first spell broke through to major completion.

At 216 years old, you broke through to the third layer of Nascent Soul.

At 233 years old, your alchemy reached the intermediate stage of the fourth grade.

At 253 years old, all your fourth-grade sword techniques broke through to major completion.

At 256 years old, all your elemental spells reached minor completion.

At 260 years old, you were stuck at the bottleneck between the third and fourth layers of Nascent Soul, unable to break through for a long time.

You knew this was due to the limitations of your talent, which was insufficient to support a rapid breakthrough.

Please choose...

1. Hardship cultivation (Breakthrough possible in 52 years.) 2. Consume a Fourth-grade Peak Barrier Breaking Pill (80% chance of direct breakthrough.) 3. Travel the world (Potential for rapid breakthrough, or being stuck at the bottleneck.)

"Choose two."

Su Yang made his decision quickly.

While a Fourth-grade Peak Barrier Breaking Pill was precious to other Nascent Soul True Monarchs, to the simulated Su Yang, whose wealth was not inferior to that of a Venerable, it was but the tip of a tiny tip.

You spent one-tenth of your Sect Contribution to exchange for a Fourth-grade Peak Barrier Breaking Pill from the sect.

You consumed the Fourth-grade Peak Barrier Breaking Pill.

Your cultivation reached the fourth layer of Nascent Soul.

You continued your hardship cultivation.

At 266 years old, your first fourth-grade Origin Body Refining Technique reached minor completion.

At 277 years old, the Ancient Yuan Dan Venerable expressed a desire to visit Minghuang Island again.

You calculated briefly and realized his daughter had only a few years left before her lifespan reached its limit.

Unable to bear the thought of your teacher not seeing his daughter one last time, you agreed.

With your current strength, you could cross the sea to Minghuang Island alone, but it would still be slower than a sea vessel.

You chose to travel by sea.

Three months later, a sea vessel departed from Qixia Island for Minghuang Island.

You left your Nascent Soul clone at Tianjian Sect and boarded the sea vessel.

At 288 years old, you arrived at Minghuang Island once more.

You noticed that the once dilapidated pier had been repaired, and its spiritual veins had even reached the high-grade fifth tier.

You inquired about the Strange Lifeform from over a decade ago from a Nascent Soul True Monarch working at the pier.

He told you that the Strange Lifeform was still periodically invading the coastal towns of Minghuang Island.

As a result, over the past 100 years, the number of seaside towns had significantly decreased.

Only a few important locations remained, and this pier was one of them.

You asked with some confusion, "Then how do you ensure safety? You can't possibly have Void Returning Kings guarding here permanently."

The pier True Monarch replied, "That's not necessary."

The remaining few locations were all equipped with Sixth-grade Grand Arrays, and were guarded by peak Deity Transformation Venerables wielding Sixth-grade Spiritual Treasures.

The combination of the two was sufficient to delay or even resist a Sixth-grade Strange Lifeform.

As long as Void Returning Kings could arrive, everything would be fine.

You indicated that you understood.

However, you still had some doubts.

You continued to seek his guidance.

"A Sixth-grade Strange Lifeform is indeed powerful, but with such frequent attacks, wouldn't Void Returning Kings have already dealt with it?"

The pier True Monarch's face turned angry upon hearing this question.

He told you that all of this was because of the Dark Soul Society.
