This time, he'd made a huge haul.
He'd killed more than 190 Level Nine Silver Dragons in total, gaining 250,000 experience.
The Primary Enhancement Stones had dropped four times, but unfortunately, they were completely useless to him now.
He tried using a Primary Enhancement Stone to enhance the Purple Dragon Bow, but the system displayed a message saying it couldn't be used.
Left with no choice, he put all the Primary Enhancement Stones away in his Space Ring.
Three Level 1 Gems had dropped: a Level 1 Breeze Stone, a Level 1 Moonstone, and a Level 1 Green Gem, which increased the recovery speed of his body and mental power.
He'd also gotten two Primary Experience Cards.
Garen removed the Level 1 Breeze Stone from the God-Slaying Blade, combined it into a Level 2 Breeze Stone, then socketed it back into the blade.
All the experience he'd gained from killing the Silver Dragons had gone toward his Magic Level, which had now reached Level 8.

When Garen opened his Character Panel again, he found that aside from his Magic Level increasing, the system had also secretly updated after he comprehended the Laws and Mysteries. Gemstones now enhanced all his Laws and Mysteries. It was ridiculously powerful!
What frustrated him, though, was that while High-level Profound Mysteries were powerful, the experience needed to comprehend them was astronomical. Even as a transmigrator with a cheat, he felt close to despair.
Xiao Pa told him that a group of Level 8 Tyrannosaurus Beasts was just ahead. If they continued east after that, they would gradually leave the central region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range and reach the western part of the Yulan Empire.
Tyrannosaurus Beasts were immensely strong and powerful attackers. Their thick scales also gave them formidable defenses, making them the overlords among land-dwelling herd beasts. Even ordinary Level Nine magical beasts didn't dare provoke them.
Garen had comprehended the Fire-style Profundity of Explosion. When he'd first grasped it, he'd followed that feeling and, while in a state of comprehension, could easily unleash tremendous damage. But once he left that state, his bursts of power became unstable. It wasn't so easy to reproduce that kind of damage, and he still needed to keep exploring until he could create powerful moves of his own.
The unfortunate Tyrannosaurus Beasts became Garen's test subjects.
Terrifying power erupted, and crimson energy ran rampant, blasting the herd of Tyrannosaurus Beasts to pieces.
Ding, ding, ding...
The system's experience notifications rang out one after another, but Garen paid them no heed. He was immersed in his comprehension of the Profundity of Explosion.
He didn't stop until every Tyrannosaurus Beast around him was dead.
Garen sheathed his blade and let out a breath.
"Ah, it feels like I'm just a little short. I can't unleash the same damage as before. I still need to keep working at it."
He'd quickly slaughtered more than eighty Tyrannosaurus Beasts, gaining over 50,000 experience. He could no longer hold back his Warrior Level and Magic Level, and both had risen to Level 9.
The Tyrannosaurus Beasts dropped two Primary Enhancement Stones, a Level 1 Moonstone, and a Primary Experience Card.
A Level 9 Tiger-Striped Warrior transformed into a Saint Realm warrior. Combined with his Laws and Mysteries, that made him a peak Saint Realm powerhouse after transforming.
Warrior Level: Level 9 (17,274/1,000,000 experience)
Wind-style
Laws and Mysteries: "Wind Element" (820,000/20,000,000 experience)
Fire-style

Transformation Level: Saint Realm
Magic Level: Level 9 (174/1,000,000 experience)
When Garen put the Primary Enhancement Stones, Level 1 Gems, and Primary Experience Cards into his Space Ring, the system suddenly issued a notification.
"Detected that the host has gathered 10 Primary Enhancement Stones. They can be combined into an Intermediate Enhancement Stone. Combine?"
The sudden notification left Garen stunned for a few seconds before delight washed over him.
Earlier, when the Primary Enhancement Stones couldn't enhance his equipment, he'd been about to throw them out of his Space Ring. Good thing he'd held onto them.
"Combine."
"Combination successful."
Garen took out the enhancement stone. The Intermediate Enhancement Stone looked much like the Primary ones, except its color was deeper and it was a little heavier.
He took out the God-Slaying Blade and tapped Enhance.
Enhancement successful.
God-Slaying Blade: Low-level Divine Artifact (can be upgraded). Gemstone smelting unlocked (three slots).
Garen held the God-Slaying Blade. After it evolved into a Low-level Divine Artifact, blue-green light flowed across its surface, and its interior brimmed with tangible baleful energy. A surge of power welled up within him.
Divine Artifacts were exceedingly rare on the Yulan Continent. Even peak Saint Realm powerhouses didn't have one.
"Haha, this feels great! With the God-Slaying Blade, I should be able to handle ordinary Saint Realm magical beasts now. As for peak Saint Realm powerhouses like Heidesen, I should be able to defeat them if I unleash my full power."
A little farther east, he would leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Garen climbed onto the Golden Sun Eagle's back and headed for the Rhine Empire.
At the Golden Sun Eagle's speed, they crossed the entire Yulan Empire in a day and reached the western part of the Rhine Empire.
The closer he got to home, the more he wanted to see his parents. Although he was a transmigrator, the love they'd given him since childhood was real. People had feelings, and he'd long since become part of this world.
"I wonder how my parents will react when they learn I've reached the Saint Realm. Mother is a noble mage, and Father is a Level 5 Warrior. With their strength, they should be able to live comfortably even in a big city. So why do they live in such a remote, impoverished place? I'll have to find out when I get back."
"I wonder if Father's Tiger-Striped bloodline is concentrated enough. I'll give him the Tiger Stripe Secret Manual to practice when I get back. If his bloodline isn't strong enough, I'll have to find a way to make him a Tiger-Striped Warrior."
Before nightfall, Garen told Xiao Pa to find food on his own, then flew down toward the town below.
The tiny city gradually grew larger as he descended. Fortunately, it was almost dark and visibility was poor. Otherwise, people would surely have gathered to gawk at someone flying down from the sky. Most people on the Yulan Continent still looked up to Saint Realm powerhouses.
"After spending so long in the heart of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, I'm finally back in a human city. I have to treat myself to a proper meal tonight."
Garen looked at the city before him and walked inside.
He quickly found a high-end hotel. After ordering a table full of delicious dishes, he enjoyed a hearty meal, took a hot bath, and settled into bed. Thinking that he'd be home tomorrow, he drifted off to sleep with a smile.
