Golden Flower Crowning the Head, Law of Space
Fallen Soul Valley.
It is shrouded in mist all year round, with chilling winds blowing in all directions.
A man clad in Purple Flame armor sat cross-legged on a boulder, surrounded by three layers of killing formations, and holding a powerful "Immortal-Slaying Thunder" in his hand.
Zhao Fen, Late-stage Golden Immortal powerhouse from the Purple Flame Immortal Dynasty!
"Damn it! Why hasn't that kid arrived yet?"
Zhao Fen glanced at the sky, feeling somewhat anxious.
"Could that old Yan Hao's intelligence be wrong? How could a mere Heaven Immortal be so slow?"
He had been lying in ambush here for two hours, his mind on high alert.
He had made thorough preparations for this hunt. Not only had he set up the [Purple Fire Purgatory Formation], which could trap even Golden Immortal Perfection the peak of cultivation, but he had also brought his natal Dao artifact!
"Hmph! No matter when he comes, once he enters the valley, he'll be a sitting duck!"
A murderous glint flashed in Zhao Fen's eyes.
"Are you... waiting for me?"
Suddenly, a calm voice rang out behind him without warning, right next to him!
"Who?!"
Zhao Fen's hair stood on end; he was so terrified he almost crushed the Immortal-Slaying Lightning in his hand!
He turned around abruptly and saw a young man in blue standing at the core of the formation, looking at him with a mocking expression.
His prized killing formation showed absolutely no reaction!
"How... how did you get in?!" Zhao Fen was utterly horrified.
Dongfang Yueming did not answer, but simply took a step forward.
"Since you're in such a hurry, then I'll... send you on your way."
"Arrogant!"
Zhao Fen was, after all, Late-stage Golden Immortal who had experienced countless battles; his panic lasted only a moment.
"Since you're here, you're here to die!"
"Purple Fire Domain, activate!"
"Boom--!"
Endless purple flames erupted instantly, transforming into a sea of fire that threatened to engulf Dongfang Yueming!
At the same time, a crimson longsword appeared in his hand, carrying the nascent form of a blazing law, and slashed down fiercely!
"A trivial skill."
Dongfang Yueming shook his head.
He didn't even use any magical artifacts; he simply extended a finger, and at the tip of his finger, a faint yet pure silver-white sword light flickered.
[The Law of the Sword - Lower Rank (Perfection)]!
"Break."
One finger pointing!
"Laugh--!"
The vast Purple Fire Domain was easily torn apart like cloth before this wisp of sword light!
Immediately afterwards, the sword's edge collided with the crimson longsword.
"Snap!"
The sturdy, high-grade Dao artifact longsword actually shattered in two!
"What?! Laws?! You're Immortal Soldier?!"
Only now did Zhao Fen truly feel fear!
Being able to disregard his domain and shatter Dao artifacts with bare hands is definitely a sign of mastering the power of laws!
"No! I am from the Purple Flame Immortal Dynasty! I have Immortal General behind me..."
"Puff!"
Before he could finish speaking, a red dot appeared between his eyebrows.
The sword energy pierced through the brain, shattering the Primordial Spirit!
Dongfang Yueming withdrew his finger and expressionlessly grasped Zhao Fen's lingering remnant soul.
"Soul Search!"
A moment later, he casually tossed the corpse aside, a cold glint in his eyes.
"As expected, it's Operation ' Hunt the Light '... It involves Immortal General from both sides..."
"But so what?"
All he wants are resources and to become stronger!
Dongfang Yueming skillfully put away Zhao Fen's storage ring.
[Low-grade Immortal Stone: 100000!]
[Superior-grade Dao Weapon: Purple Flame Heaven-Burning Saber!]
[Cultivation Technique Jade Slip: "Purple Ultimate Heavenly Fire Art" (Golden Immortal Chapter + Immortal Soldier Chapter Fragment)!]
[Inherited Jade Slip: Superior Thunder-type Daoist Technique - [Wrath of the Nine Heavens Thunder God]!]
Upon seeing the last jade slip, Dongfang Yueming's breath caught in his throat!
"It's actually... a high-grade lightning-based Dao technique?!"
With a probe of divine sense, the information became clear instantly.
This [Wrath of the Nine Heavens Thunder God] is a fusion of the [Mid-Grade Ancient Chaos Ten Thousand Lightning Scripture], the [Mid-Grade Nine Heavens Divine Lightning Invocation], and another mid-grade thunder technique!
"I've searched high and low, but I haven't found it anywhere!"
"Absorb! Enter!"
[Ding! Progress of "Origin Immortal Art: Golden Immortal Chapter" deduction: 84%...100%!]
[Ding! Progress of "Origin Immortal Art: Immortal Soldier Chapter": 0%...16%!]
[Ding! You have learned a superior-grade Daoist technique—[Wrath of the Nine Heavens Thunder God]!]
Dongfang Yueming clenched his fist, feeling the surging Law of Thunder within his body.
"The Golden Immortal chapter Perfection, and a superior-grade Dao technique has been obtained..."
"Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts; the ancients were right."
Of course, Zhao Fen's death meant that he had also completely severed ties with the Purple Flame Immortal Dynasty, but this only made him more at ease.
He calmed himself down and focused his attention on the system panel.
He had already mastered the mid-grade Dao techniques [Ancient Chaos Ten Thousand Lightning Scripture] and [Nine Heavens Divine Lightning Invocation]. If he Point Allocation the remaining mid-grade technique, he could perfectly fuse them into a high-grade thunder-based Dao technique!
"Point Allocation!"
With a thought, the remaining Immortal Points began to burn.
[Ding! Consumed 950 Immortal Points x3, three core superior-grade lightning techniques Perfection!]
[Ding! Consumed 190 Immortal Points x9, Nine Gates Auxiliary Mid-Grade Thunder Technique Perfection!]
[Ding! Consumed 38 Immortal Points x 27, Perfection in 27 basic low-grade thunder techniques!]
Boom!
Within the Sea of Consciousness, thunder roared!
Three thunder runes, representing the pinnacle of mid-grade Daoist techniques, were forcibly collided and fused under the system's immense power.
The originally raging thunder became as gentle as water at this moment, and then transformed into a purple-gold river of thunder, surging endlessly in the Sea of Consciousness.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Daoist techniques successfully fused!]
[Obtained a superior-grade Daoist technique - [Wrath of the Nine Heavens Thunder God]!]
"Call--"
Dongfang Yueming exhaled a breath of stale air, and lightning flashed in his eyes.
"A superior-grade Dao technique, corresponding to the offensive methods of the Golden Immortal Realm. With Thunder, we'll be even stronger against enemies!"
Having laid the groundwork, let's get down to business.
He glanced at his somewhat depleted Immortal Points balance and, without hesitation, took out the mountain of Immortal Stones.
"Recycle!"
[Ding! 100,000 low-grade immortal stones have been recycled, and 100,000 Immortal Points have been gained!]
[Ding! 5000 mid-grade immortal stones have been recycled, gaining 500,000 Immortal Points!]
[Current balance of Immortal Points currency: 920,503!]
Seeing that the number was about to break the million mark, Dongfang Yueming felt much more at ease.
"Golden Immortal... break!"
[Cultivation Technique: Origin Immortal Art - Golden Immortal Chapter (0/54000, Not Yet Entry)]
"Point Allocation!"
[Ding! Consumed 54,000 Immortal Points, advanced to the Golden Immortal First Stage!]
"Buzz--!!!"
At this moment, a dramatic change occurred within Dongfang Yueming's [Chaos Immortal Abode]!
In the center of the immortal palace, the Immortal Seed that had already taken root and sprouted trembled violently under the infusion of endless immortal power.
The tender green buds instantly sprouted branches and leaves, growing into a towering tree!
At the very top of the precious tree, a dazzling golden bud slowly bloomed!
"Flowers bloom in an instant, but gold endures forever!"
A mysterious and profound aura instantly cleansed Dongfang Yueming's physical body and soul.
He felt an indescribable leap in the essence of his life. It was as if what was once fragile Liuli had transformed into indestructible gold!
Lifespan, resilience, physical strength... all aspects skyrocket!
"This is... Golden Immortal!"
Dongfang Yueming clenched his fist, Xukong in his palm emitted a crackling sound as if it could not bear the weight.
Breaking through to the Golden Immortal not only brought an increase in power, but also a completely new understanding of the laws.
"Thunder, swordsmanship, space, Vitality..."
Countless threads of laws became clear before his eyes.
"I have thunder and sword to attack me, but what I lack most right now... is speed, and the means to control space!"
He turned his gaze to the already Perfection superior movement technique—[The Horizon Within Reach].
"Sudden enlightenment!"
The [Innate Supreme Dao Bone] trembled slightly, emitting the profound sounds of the Great Dao.
That Dao technique, [The Horizon Within Reach], instantly disintegrated in his Sea of Consciousness, turning into countless spatial fragments, which then rearranged and recombine, ultimately condensing into a... silver-white rune that exuded profound spatial fluctuations!
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have comprehended the Law - [Law of Space - Lower Level]!]
[Rule Panel Updated:]
Sword Law - Lower Level (Perfection)
Law of Space - Lower Level (0/10000, Entry)
"Space is king, time is supreme."
A fervent glint flashed in Dongfang Yueming's eyes, "With the Law of Space, where in this vast world can't we go?"
"Point Allocation! Max it out!"
[Ding! 10,000 Immortal Points consumed, Law of Space (Lower Level) - Entry!]
[Ding! Consumed 20,000 Immortal Points, Law of Space (Lower Grade) -- Minor Accomplishment!]
[Ding! 40,000 Immortal Points consumed, Law of Space (Lower Grade) -- Major Accomplishment!]
[Ding! 80,000 Immortal Points consumed, Law of Space (Lower Grade) - Perfection!]
"Buzz--!"
The moment the Law of Space Perfection, Dongfang Yueming's figure suddenly became blurry.
He didn't move, but the space around him rippled like water. He seemed not to exist in this space, yet he seemed to be everywhere.
One step forward, and you're millions of kilometers away; one step back, and you're back where you started.
"Shrink the Earth to an Inch is just a technique; right now, I'm in... folded space!"
After sensing the change in strength, Dongfang Yueming looked at the remaining Immortal Points.
[Immortal Points: 716503]
"Continue to improve your cultivation!"
In the Golden Immortal Realm, each level of advancement requires a massive amount of resources.
[Ding! 54,000 Immortal Points consumed, Golden Immortal Second Stage!]
[Ding! 54,000 Immortal Points consumed, Golden Immortal Third Stage!]
[Ding! 81,000 Immortal Points consumed, Golden Immortal Fourth Stage!]
[Ding! 81,000 Immortal Points consumed, Golden Immortal Fifth Stage!]
[Ding! 81,000 Immortal Points consumed, Golden Immortal Sixth Stage!]
[Ding! 135,000 Immortal Points consumed, Golden Immortal Seventh Stage!]
"Boom--!"
At this moment, within the immortal abode within Dongfang Yueming's body, the Law Treasure Tree had grown into a towering giant, its golden flowers in full bloom, radiating an aura of eternal immortality.
Late-stage Golden Immortal!
But at that moment...
[Current Balance: 230503]
Dongfang Yueming stopped, his brows furrowing slightly.
"To advance to the Golden Immortal Ninth Stage, or even to its Perfection, this amount of Immortal Points is far from enough."
"And..."
He accessed the subsequent chapters of "The Origin Immortal Art".
[Next Realm: Immortal Soldier Realm (Requires tempering the physical body with the laws to forge an ' Immortal Immortal Body ')]
[Core Material: Tier 1 Immortal Gold!]
"Immortal Gold..."
The Dongfang Yueming murmured to itself.
The Golden Immortal cultivates "Qi" and "Spirit," imbuing life with a golden quality; while the Immortal Soldier Realm aims to completely integrate this "golden quality" into one's flesh and blood, transforming the body into a humanoid weapon!
"Shall we go and visit those so-called 'immortal gold mines'?"
