I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 273: Chapter 136: Saintess, Divine Illusion

A single drop of essence blood was enough for a Martial Artist below the True Qi Realm to break through.

It was truly Treasure Blood!

This was also why Demons and Monsters loved to eat Martial Artists.

To a Martial Artist, Demons and Monsters were high-grade materials for alchemy and artifact refining.

Likewise, to Demons and Monsters, the flesh and blood of a Martial Artist—tender, firm, and brimming with immense energy—was a top-tier resource.

It had both an excellent texture and abundant energy.

To Demons and Monsters, human flesh was the ultimate delicacy.

Although he had yet to master the Prison-Suppression Golden Body, his Flesh Body’s defense in its normal state was already comparable to that of the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt when it formed its Profound Armor.

He had essentially become impervious to fire and water, and invulnerable to blades and swords.

His Flesh Body could even withstand a direct blow from a Magical Treasure.

The Dragon Elephant Prison-Suppression Force did more than simply increase his strength.

Forming a single Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo would cause his Flesh Body to ascend to a new level.

It was a complete sublimation and transformation, both inside and out.

"Huuuh..."

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Fang Xing slowly rose to his feet.

The Demon King-level Divine Beast Essence had given him a significant boost. In addition to the improvements to his Dragon Elephant Prison-Suppression Force, his True Qi Cultivation had also risen.

It was progressing toward the state of Primordial Unity.

This would take time.

The speed of the process depended on one’s innate talent.

The greater one’s talent, the faster they could achieve the Primordial state.

Suppressing the aura around him, Fang Xing summoned his status panel.

Name: Fang Xing

Cultivation: True Qi Perfection!

Enhancement Level: Five-Star (25%)

Enhancement Points: 963,750.

’I have less than a million left...’

Fang Xing stared at the Enhancement Points on the panel, lost in thought.

’Nearly a million Enhancement Points seems like a lot, but at my current rate of progress, even that much would be insufficient for a major breakthrough.’

’In terms of cultivation, breaking through from True Qi Perfection to the True Gang Realm requires not only personal enlightenment but also a vast amount of resources.’

’Divine True Origin is the most effective resource for enhancing my True Qi.’

’As for my martial arts, aside from the Dragon Elephant Prison-Suppression Force, improving my other techniques—the Red Fire Divine Skill, the Life-taking Slash, and the Refining Divine Technique—will depend almost entirely on my own comprehension and cultivation.’

Each had a different path to improvement. The Red Fire Divine Skill, for instance, could be advanced using the Li Fire Divine Pill.

The Life-taking Slash, on the other hand, grew stronger by absorbing Life-taking Qi from the more he killed.

His Heart of Slaughter was already on the verge of a breakthrough. During the hunt in Jade Capital, he had slain top-tier Fierce Beasts and absorbed a great deal of high-quality Slaughter Qi.

He was only one final step away from attaining the Red Heart of Slaughter.

Once he took that step, the power of his Life-taking Demon Saber would grow exponentially.

It would unleash an even more terrifying power.

To this day, Fang Xing had never fully unleashed his Extreme One Slash.

It was essentially his life-saving trump card.

Unleashing the Extreme One Slash could boost his attack power by more than tenfold. However, even with his current strength, he could only manage a single strike.

If that single slash failed to kill his enemy, his only other option would be to flee.

’As for cultivating the Refining Divine Technique... the greatest advantage of this Celestial Extreme Divine Soul Secret Method is its ability to grow by plundering the Divine Soul Power of others. Simply relying on normal cultivation is incredibly slow!’

Fang Xing had considered trying it during the grand hunt, but he ultimately decided against it to avoid drawing unwanted attention.

After all, plundering and devouring the Divine Soul Power of others was no different from the methods of the Demon Dao.

If he were to use it, he would have to do so in secret.

After all, he was far from being invincible.

Forget being invincible; he was still a long way from even dominating a single region.

After reviewing his martial arts, he realized he had more or less reached a plateau.

The only technique with the potential for a major breakthrough was the Life-taking Slash.

However, advancing this Celestial Extreme Secret Technique Divine Skill required high-quality Life-taking Qi.

It seemed he was only a single step away, but taking that step required him to slay a being at the level of True Qi Perfection or a top-notch Great Demon and absorb their Life-taking Qi to break through this Profound Gate.

’I’ll take it slow. It’s best to let things happen naturally. I can’t be too hasty.’

After steadying his mind, Fang Xing stepped out of the training room.

He rinsed himself off, changed into a clean set of profound black martial attire, and was just about to head to the Observatory when a sound transmission from Zhang Xuan arrived.

Hearing Zhang Xuan’s message about having something to discuss, Fang Xing knew what it was about.

’He probably has a mission for me.’

After sending a reply, Fang Xing put away the Sound Transmission Bell and left.

Walking through the white snow, he soon arrived at the Observatory.

"Lord Fang!"

"Greetings, my lord!"

"Mm."

Many people greeted Fang Xing along the way. Although he didn’t recognize them, he offered a polite nod in return.

"Congratulations, my lord!"

A voice called out. Fang Xing turned to see Zhou Yu approaching him with a wide grin.

Fang Xing looked at the beaming Zhou Yu, a little surprised. "Brother Zhou, what are you congratulating me for?"

"My lord, you’ve made a name for yourself again! Take a look!"

As if by magic, Zhou Yu produced a copy of the Jianghu Daily and handed it to Fang Xing.

At his words, Fang Xing’s brow furrowed. He took the Jianghu Daily and scanned it.

The front page was dedicated to the latest rankings on the Hidden Dragon List.

The rankings from first to one-hundredth place were all clearly displayed.

His rank had jumped from one hundredth to ninety-fifth.

He had climbed a full five spots in one go.

He had even surpassed some Martial Artists from the True Gang Realm.

"To jump five ranks at once... congratulations on your progress, my lord."

Zhou Yu said with a grin, looking at Fang Xing.

"..."

’Climbing five ranks seems impressive, but to me, this list is utterly useless.’
