The person who had suddenly appeared was not very old, only around seventeen or eighteen. His clothes were clean and neat, and there was no astonishing aura or violent power about him. His pitch-black eyes were like a tranquil lake, without the slightest ripple. It seemed that Peak Heavenly Immortal Realm Cang Yong was nothing before him...
It was Nie Yun, who had emerged after successfully undergoing his sixth Nirvana.
This Nirvana had taken even less time—only seven days.
The first had taken ten days, the second a month, the third two months, the fourth a month, the fifth ten days, and this one seven days. It seemed that as the number of Nirvanas increased, they followed a certain pattern.
Although the time had been greatly reduced, the increase in strength had not diminished. After seven days of consolidation, Nie Yun had directly broken through repeatedly from the peak of the second level of the Immortal rank, the Immortal Body Realm, reaching the threshold between the third-level True Immortal Realm and fourth-level Heavenly Immortal Realm—half-step Heavenly Immortal Realm!
Once one reached the Immortal rank, every minor advancement required an ocean of resources. To break through an entire major realm in one go, and even go a little beyond it, had completely exceeded Nie Yun's expectations.
With the Nirvana complete, that Asura corpse had also been devoured cleanly by him, ultimately turning into flying ash.
Although this Asura had been powerful in life, it had been dead for an unknown number of years. Its corpse had already been at the end of its tether from sustaining the Killing Intent throughout the entire ruin, so it had not provided him with much energy. Of course, if it had not been so weakened, he would not have been able to devour it either.
