Sitting silently on the ground, Fang Can recalled various cultivation techniques from before the Great Cataclysm as he thought about creating his own.

God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, Six Desires Demon-Splitting Chapter, Magnetic Field Rotation, Burning Mantra, Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man, Dragonless Mental Method, Eight-Nine Profound Art...

All sorts of techniques and their corresponding effects rose up in Fang Can's mind.

But the more he visualized, the less confident Fang Can felt.

Because to visualize a corresponding technique in his mind, he not only had to ensure logical consistency but also pay a corresponding price.

However, the prices for manifesting those famous techniques were so exorbitant that Fang Can could not afford them.

Description Bar: Host's mental focus gathers, using delusion as a vessel, flesh and blood as an altar, intent as an anchor, and qi and blood as offerings to begin Visualization Manifestation. Beginning manifestation of [God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force] Manifestation progress 0.0000000...1% --Estimated time remaining: 99999999999...99 trillion years--

Looking at the content on the panel, Fang Can was not the least bit surprised.

The time and energy required to visualize and create an invincible technique out of thin air were far beyond what he, a mere mortal, could afford right now.

"In that case, what if I lower the requirements step by step?" Fang Can pondered.

He decided not to consider creating the full technique immediately, but instead to create a technique for the Mortal Shedding Body realm.

After closing his eyes and visualizing for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Fang Can looked at the Description Bar. This time, exchanging for a Mortal Shedding Body technique with the effects of the God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force would only take ninety million years.

"This is simpler. I just need to trim the effects step by step, build the framework first, and let the universe handle the rest."

Fang Can lowered his head in thought, trying to figure out how to exchange a small budget for maximum benefit.

"First is the energy issue. Every time I practice martial arts, I need to eat a massive amount of food. It would be better to change the way I absorb energy. Then there's the efficiency issue. The original eighty-eight apertures are too crude; it would be better to strengthen the entire body's cells, leaving no weak points..."

With this line of thought, he reduced his requirements from generating energy out of thin air to zero-point energy, then to dark matter, and finally weakened it to sunlight.

Lastly, there was the foundation issue. Fang Can originally wanted to deepen the transcendence into atoms, then settled for molecules, downgraded to nanometers, and only managed to succeed after downgrading to the cellular level.

Having simplified the requirements to this point, Fang Can took a deep breath and looked at the Description Bar.

Description Bar: Host's mental focus gathers, using cells as a vessel, flesh and blood as an altar, intent as an anchor, and qi and blood as offerings to begin Visualization Manifestation. Beginning manifestation of [Initial Version of Great Sun Indestructible Demon Body] Manifestation progress 0.000001% --Estimated time remaining: 594 days 6 hours--

"This is as brief as I can make it."

Fang Can sighed and accepted reality. He had cut everything that could be cut; any further, and it would be unwatchable.

It had been over fifty minutes since he swallowed the massive amount of Arsenic, and Fang Can still leaned against the windowsill, expressionless.

Before the final deadline arrived, Fang Can took a coin from his pocket and tossed it: "Will I die from the Arsenic? Heads for yes, tails for no."

Looking at the side facing up after the coin tumbled, Fang Can made up his mind.

Suddenly, the manifestation time on Fang Can's panel began to shorten drastically.

--Estimated time remaining: 296 days 5 hours--

"Hmph, has the Arsenic finally started to digest?" A hint of satisfaction appeared in Fang Can's eyes. He ignored it and sank his mind completely into further manifesting the visualization.

165 days... 57 days... 26 days... 18 days... 12 days... 5 days...

As the Arsenic—seventy or eighty times the lethal dose for a normal person—fused further with his cells, Fang Can's Extreme Misfortune Brings Prosperity and Unwavering Resolve talents were pushed to their limits, hoping to save this living nightmare of a man.

After about a few minutes, Fang Can began to experience severe gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.

At the same time, symptoms like headaches and dizziness appeared, but he ignored them all, believing them to be hallucinations before success.

But just before the death-induced life-review could appear, the heavy hand of his second talent began to exert force.

Accompanied by the stimulation of his second talent, Fang Can's cells began to exhibit a terrifying vitality, frantically resisting the negative state caused by the fusion of Arsenic and blood.

--Estimated time remaining: 2 hours 30 minutes--

Under the frantic enhancement of his talents, the Great Sun Indestructible Demon Body began to advance step by step.

But outside the room, Jiang Ning'an could no longer sit still, because she felt the originally strong and powerful heartbeat of Fang Can inside the room becoming weaker by the second, and his breathing began to grow faint and intermittent.

"He wouldn't have died in there, would he?" Jiang Ning'an was filled with worry.

She, who had always acted with composure, had been emotionally stirred by this boy countless times today; she truly had no way to deal with such a madman.

Looking at the tightly shut door, she hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not break in, choosing instead to wait silently outside.

One hour... two hours... three hours...

Time ticked away bit by bit, and the young girl's mood had plummeted to the absolute bottom.

Because the person inside had completely stopped breathing and his heart had ceased to beat; he had completely expired.

For a moment, emotions like self-reproach began to well up in the girl's heart, as she felt she had talked him to death.

Before she could continue to blame herself, a strong and powerful heartbeat suddenly reached her ears.

"Thump... thump... thump..."

Each heartbeat, stronger than the last, ignited hope in the girl's heart. Could it be that this little madman inside wasn't dead?

Under her tense gaze, the doorknob in front of her was gently turned, and a slightly lean figure slowly walked out.

Yes, he walked out, even though she had seen with her own eyes not long ago that Fang Can had broken his own legs.

Before she could continue to ponder, she was even more terrified when she saw Fang Can's face, for blood was oozing from each of his seven orifices.

"You... you didn't die?" Jiang Ning'an said, dumbfounded.

If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of her had a heartbeat, she might have thought this guy had become a vengeful spirit coming to claim her life.

"Why would I die?"

"You're bleeding from your seven orifices, and you're still able to walk—you haven't turned into a ghost, have you!"

"Bleeding from the seven orifices is one thing, and death is another; how can they be the same?" Fang Can replied, gently wiping the dried blood from his face.

As he spoke, he cast his gaze toward the panel.

Description Bar: You have successfully manifested the cultivation technique Great Sun Indestructible Demon Body Flesh Alienation: 3.85%

And what no one knew was that as the morning sunlight from outside shone into the room, Fang Can's cultivation technique began to operate automatically.

Fang Can's cells began to actively devour the sunlight from the outside world, converting the light into energy to strengthen his body.

Even if Fang Can never actively cultivated from this point on, his Flesh Alienation percentage would still rise automatically.
