Time flowed like a white horse galloping past a crevice; several months vanished in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Xiao Fan stood silently high above the heavens, his black robes snapping in the wind.
Looking back on these past few months, his heart was filled with deep emotion.
Thanks to the constant "energy" provided by Little Doctor Fairy, Yun Yun, Medusa, and the entire Demon Division, his strength had already climbed to the level of a five-star Dou Zong.
Majestic Dou Qi surged within him like a raging sea, galloping wildly through his body.
As for why he had come alone to the high skies above this desert today, the reason was simple.
Just moments ago, the system notification had rung clearly in his mind: his Bragging Points had finally broken through the one-million mark.
Finally...
The corners of Xiao Fan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile of satisfaction.
All of this was thanks to his cute and capable maid, Qing Lin.
Qing Lin worked tirelessly every day, weaving through the Snake-Person Tribe to spread exaggerated tales of his, Great Emperor Xiao Fan's, exploits.
And he only needed to lounge comfortably at home to cultivate, easily reaping massive amounts of Bragging Points.
This feeling of gaining points without the slightest effort was simply marvelous.
As expected of my maid! She truly is capable!
"System..."
Xiao Fan called out softly.
In an instant, the surrounding space rippled slightly, and a system interface radiating a mysterious light appeared before his eyes. "Purchase Beginningless Scripture..."
A profound look flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes, and he issued the command without hesitation.
[Ding! Beginningless Scripture purchased successfully!]
As the system's cold notification faded, golden scriptures manifested around his body.
In a heartbeat, the heavens and earth lost their color; wind and clouds churned in turmoil.
The sky, previously as blue as a gemstone, was instantly swallowed by rolling black clouds.
These clouds, like ancient behemoths, piled up in layer upon layer, exuding a bone-chilling pressure.
Within the clouds, lightning snakes danced wildly. Thick bolts of lightning, like giant axes splitting the heavens, struck fiercely at the earth, illuminating the entire Tagor Desert in flickering light.
Xiao Fan's figure appeared exceptionally striking amidst this chaotic world. He sat cross-legged in mid-air, his posture as straight as a pine.
The crimson-gold scriptures seemed to possess a life of their own; they emerged slowly from his body, crawled along his skin, and eventually covered his entire frame.
Feeling the power of the Beginningless Scripture, Xiao Fan's lips curled upward.
The Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus he possessed was, in itself, a rare physique, one in a billion.
This physique had been endowed with powerful innate advantages since birth. Now, merging with the Beginningless Scripture, it was like a tiger gaining wings; once comprehended, it began to dig deep into the potential of the Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus.
Nourished by the power of the Beginningless Scripture, Xiao Fan's physical body began to undergo a transformative metamorphosis.
His flesh and blood were like reforged steel, every inch of muscle containing the power to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth.
His bones became as crystalline as jade, emitting a faint luster.
At this moment, even if faced with the sharpest of divine weapons, he could withstand them with his bare body, remaining completely unscathed.
Furthermore...
The uniqueness of the Beginningless Scripture lay not only in its ability to improve a cultivator's strength in every aspect, but also in the Dao patterns and laws it contained—the deepest understanding and insights of Great Emperor Beginningless regarding the Great Dao of heaven and earth.
In battle, he only needed to circulate the scripture slightly to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, unleashing terrifying strength far beyond that of cultivators at the same level.
Compared to ordinary techniques that leaned solely toward attack or defense, it was comprehensive and profound, covering every aspect of a cultivator's advancement, application of power, and perception of the Great Dao.
Ordinary techniques often only assisted a cultivator in one specific area, but the Beginningless Scripture allowed a cultivator to achieve a qualitative leap in every dimension.
No wonder this world doesn't allow it...
It was simply too powerful... this kind of technique!
Xiao Fan looked up at the increasingly violent lightning tribulation in the sky, his eyes devoid of any fear or panic.
After all, the Beginningless Scripture he had obtained was one of the top-tier scriptures in the Shrouding the Heavens world; its level far exceeded the so-called Heaven-tier techniques of this world.
It was only natural that the appearance of such a powerful technique would trigger such a terrifying lightning tribulation.
BOOM!!!
A dazzling blue light struck down fiercely.
But Xiao Fan remained like an ancient deity, floating silently in the void, completely ignoring the world-ending tribulation above his head.
He closed his eyes, immersing himself heart and soul in the comprehension of the Beginningless Scripture.
His aura, like a surging tide, grew increasingly vigorous.
His cultivation, previously stabilized at five-star Dou Zong, now began to climb slowly. The speed of that ascent was staggering.
Five-star Dou Zong... six-star Dou Zong... seven-star Dou Zong!
"So that is how it is... this is the Dao..."
Xiao Fan whispered softly. Though his voice was faint, it echoed for a long time within this space ravaged by thunder.
However, his words seemed to have angered the heavens.
In an instant, a bolt of ultimate lightning, as if traversing the constraints of time and space, struck toward Xiao Fan with unparalleled speed. The power of this lightning was enough to reduce a massive mountain to dust in a heartbeat.
Yet, just as the lightning was about to strike Xiao Fan, a thin layer of scriptures suddenly emerged around his body.
These scriptures shimmered with golden light, like ancient divine incantations, exuding a sacred and inviolable aura.
The seemingly fragile scriptures were, at this moment, incredibly resilient, steadily blocking the terrifying bolt of lightning.
The lightning and the scriptures collided, producing a deafening roar as countless ripples of energy spread outward, whipping up a sky-obscuring sandstorm in the desert below.
Xiao Fan bathed in this lightning, as if he had merged into one with heaven and earth.
Amidst the ravages and baptism of the lightning, he felt as though he had seen through the operating laws of all things in the universe, understanding everything in the world with perfect clarity.
Deep in the desert below, Medusa stood quietly, gazing up at the scene in the sky that resembled the descent of a god.
Her stunningly beautiful face was filled with shock and awe.
Her eyes shimmered with a brilliant, shifting light.
My Lord is so powerful...
Medusa sighed softly in her heart.
A sense of submission to the strong, stemming from her very instincts, made her body tremble slightly.
She unconsciously licked her slender, soft tongue across her lips, a hint of a different emotion flickering in her eyes.
Medusa understood in her heart that she must cling tightly to her Lord's side; only then would she be able to rise to greatness in the future...
In the Gama Empire, a land situated on the Northwest Continent, the once-calm sky was suddenly shattered by several figures tearing through the air.
Ten Soul Hall Protectors descended from thin air. The black-robed protectors were tall and imposing, and beneath their dark cloaks, pairs of deep, hollow eyes glinted with cold light... They observed the land beneath their feet...
