Immortal Cultivation for Three Years, and You Tell Me This Is Douluo?

"Finally, Golden Core!"

Boom!

The heavens and earth trembled as the youth rose to his feet.

Streams of light flickered beneath his feet as he flew atop a shield phantom.

A moment later, he landed. The solidified core essence within his dantian stabilized, gradually calming down.

"Your Young Master finally has the ability to protect himself!"

Shen Tianyu was delighted, but his face soon filled with sorrow.

"If only I could stay here forever."

Three years ago, Shen Tianyu had transmigrated here from Blue Star.

In this world, Immortal Cultivation was widespread, and everyone longed for the Path of Longevity.

Slaughter and bloodshed were the mainstream of Immortal Cultivation.

In the flourishing Cultivation World, Golden Cores were as common as dogs, while Nascent Souls roamed everywhere.

Fortunately, as a transmigrator, Shen Tianyu had the system's protection.

Within this independent space, he had been given three years to cultivate in seclusion.

For the past three years, Shen Tianyu had cultivated without wasting a single moment.

Today, he had finally broken through to the Golden Core realm, gaining at least some fighting power.

"There's less than a day left."

The Shelter Space granted by the system was about to disappear, and Shen Tianyu would have to face the cruel world directly.

Looking at the swathes of still-unripe Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in this place, Shen Tianyu gritted his teeth.

"Forget it. I'll eat them all."

Directly swallowing unripe Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures was certainly wasteful.

But it was still less wasteful than being forcibly expelled from the Shelter Space and leaving all these treasures behind, unused by anyone.

Spiritual Power surged forth, uprooting swathes of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

As his hand opened and closed, the treasures flew before him.

"Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art!"

The cultivation technique Shen Tianyu practiced was called the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art.

This technique devoured the heavens, the earth, and all things. Everything in the world could be swallowed into the body, its origin extracted and transformed into nourishment to raise one's cultivation realm.

Even someone with terrible talent could defy fate and change their destiny through the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art.

It was precisely because of this technique that Shen Tianyu had crossed Body Tempering, Qi Refining, and Foundation Establishment in just three years, rising from an ordinary mortal to the Golden Core realm.

One Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure after another entered his stomach, and the Spiritual Energy throughout his body visibly rose.

Time passed quietly. Once Shen Tianyu had swallowed every last Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure—

The system panel opened, and its information entered his eyes.

[Name: Shen Tianyu

Realm: Early Golden Core

Cultivation Technique: Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art

Spells: Three Thousand Great Daos, God Elephant Prison Suppressing Force, Indestructible Vajra Body, Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, Origin Divine Fist, Progenitor Saint Fist, Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Divine Fist...

Magical Treasures: Nine Divine Weapons, Heavenly Emperor Sword, Four Immortal Slaying Swords, Beginningless Bell, Void Mirror...]

"After eating so much, I'm still only at the early Golden Core realm. Cultivating after leaving the Shelter Space will probably be incredibly difficult."

The moment he finished speaking, a mechanical voice rang out in his mind.

[The three-year period has ended. System protection is over. Forced departure procedure activated. Dear host, go forth and battle in the Cultivation World. Seek the Great Dao and eternal life!]

Boom!

A tremendous force erupted beneath his feet, and with a shh, Shen Tianyu was dragged away and vanished.

After a dizzying whirl, Shen Tianyu's vision returned.

Before him was a valley. Steam rose within it, and a hot spring lay at its center.

The hot spring was not large. It was oval-shaped and divided into two halves.

One half was crimson and scorching, steaming with heat.

The other was milky white and tranquil, cold to the bone.

The two utterly different spring waters were distinctly separated, neither invading the other.

"Interesting place!"

Shen Tianyu said with a smile, when he suddenly heard an angry shout from behind him.

"Who are you? How did you break in?"

Damn!

Shen Tianyu's expression changed. Was his luck really this bad?

He had just left the Shelter Space, only to barge into some big shot's territory.

System, you damn well screwed me over!

Turning stiffly around, Shen Tianyu was about to explain himself.

The youth opposite him summoned a blade of grass in his palm.

"Blue Silver Grass Entanglement!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Blue Silver Grass surged in from all around, densely binding Shen Tianyu.

Shen Tianyu: ???

What the hell? Blue Silver Grass Entanglement?

He had cultivated painstakingly for three years, never wasting a single moment.

He rose early and slept late, diligently cultivating his techniques and tempering his body.

He had endured countless hardships and finally cultivated a Golden Core before leaving the mountain, and now they were telling him this was Douluo?

What happened to Golden Cores being as common as dogs and Nascent Souls roaming everywhere?

What happened to bloody slaughter, with lives as cheap as grass?

What happened to seeking the Dao, pursuing immortality, and ascending to become an Immortal Emperor?

It was all damn nonsense now!

System, get the hell out here and explain yourself!

Shen Tianyu angrily shouted, and the system interface popped up in his mind.

[Uh... the CPU has burned out... It's off for repairs. Host, please resolve this yourself.]

What the fuck!

The damn thing ran off first whenever trouble came.

It felt like fate itself had toyed with him.

Hm?

"Spiritual Power is still here?"

Shen Tianyu looked down at his dantian in surprise.

His Golden Core was still there. His cultivation was still there.

His mind raced, and Shen Tianyu understood.

Wonderful!

As long as he could still cultivate, he could continue raising his realm.

Proving the Dao and becoming an emperor, seeking eternal life—none of that was impossible.

Besides, this was Douluo!

What kind of place was Douluo? The gutter of fantasy worlds!

Tang San, a dignified God King, was only at the half-step Blood Moving realm.

With his Golden Core cultivation in a place like this, wouldn't he be invincible?

Having understood this, Shen Tianyu adjusted his mindset.

His eyes met Tang San's, and he curled his lips into a cold smile.

"Answer me. Who are you, and how did you break in?"

"None of your damn business, Young Master!"

Bang!

The Blue Silver Grass Entanglement exploded, turning into a pile of weeds scattered across the ground.

Tang San was startled, and his eyes darkened.

This person clearly had no Soul Power. How had he broken free from my Blue Silver Grass Entanglement?

"You're Tang San, aren't you?"

He stepped forward and slapped Tang San, sending him flying thirty meters away.

The slap carried considerable force. Under Shen Tianyu's deliberate control, half of Tang San's face swelled red.

Covering his badly swollen cheek, Tang San glared at him viciously.

This man had invited death!

"What? Not convinced?"

Shen Tianyu strode forward, swinging his arm as he charged in.

"Second Soul Skill: Parasitism!"

Blue Star Grass spread from beneath his feet, rapidly covering Shen Tianyu's entire body.

"Third Soul Skill: Spider Web Restraint!"

A spiderweb woven from Blue Silver Grass shot out instantly, binding Shen Tianyu in place.

The web was exceptionally tough and carried the venom of the Man Faced Demon Spider.

It tried to pierce Shen Tianyu's skin and inject the venom into his body.

"Trash!"

Shen Tianyu spoke disdainfully. During these three years of Immortal Cultivation, aside from striving for perfection in his techniques—

What he had valued most was tempering his fleshly body.

After consuming countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, along with the Indestructible Vajra Body he had cultivated—

Shen Tianyu's body had long since become impervious to blades and spears, immune to all poisons, as strong as vajra.

Did this tiny Blue Silver Grass dare show itself off before him?

With a slight exertion of both arms, he easily tore apart the two great Soul Skills, Parasitism and Spider Web Restraint.

"What?"

Tang San's eyes widened as he stared at Shen Tianyu in disbelief.

He was secretly astonished. This person looked about the same age as him.

He had no Soul Power fluctuations either, so how had he broken through Tang San's two great Soul Skills?

"Don't embarrass yourself before Young Master with a trash martial soul like Blue Silver Grass."

"Hmph! There are no trash martial souls, only trash Soul Masters. In the hands of me, Tang San, Blue Silver Grass is the strongest weapon."

"Bullshit!"

With a Teleportation step, Shen Tianyu backhanded him with another resounding slap.

The other half of Tang San's face swelled red as well.

Perfectly symmetrical on both sides, he now had the face of a pig.

"If it can't hurt Young Master in the slightest, what is it if not trash? Blue Silver Grass is garbage, and you, Tang San, are worse than garbage!"
