I Have a Cultivation Simulator

"Not a True Monarch—it's ten Tier 4 puppets!"

True Monarch Chongtian reacted instantly. Although the ten figures radiated the pressure of a True Monarch, they were distinctly different from Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

Where the ten Tier 4 puppets stood, the power of a Tier 4 grand array permeated the air, descending to blanket the area like the radiant might of heaven.

"You're actually a Tier 4 puppet grandmaster!"

True Monarch Chongtian was shocked. An ordinary Nascent Soul Stage True Monarch could also control Tier 4 puppets.

But to control them as flawlessly as you did—and ten at once—was impossible for anyone short of a puppet grandmaster.

"But how long can your soul hold out while controlling ten Tier 4 puppets at once?"

True Monarch Chongtian's thoughts raced, and he abandoned the idea of fleeing.

Isolated by the Tier 4 grand array the ten puppets had formed, it would be extremely difficult to tear through the formation in a short time unless he was willing to pay a massive price—or abandon his physical body entirely to flee with his Nascent Soul spirit body.

And that was to heavily injure you.

As long as you were severely injured, the Tier 4 puppets controlled by your divine sense would naturally be affected.

Then, the Tier 4 grand array would collapse on its own.

Even if he couldn't severely injure you, slightly tying you down would still disrupt the ten Tier 4 puppets enough to create openings in the array.

That alone would buy True Monarch Chongtian the opportunity to retreat in one piece.

"Slash!"

Having made up his mind, a terrifying fluctuation burst from True Monarch Chongtian's eyes. The power of the eighty-one Dharma swords enveloping you suddenly surged.

"Hmm?"

You allowed the eighty-one Dharma swords to strike, and without hesitation, you activated the divine ability, Qi and Blood.

Qi and Blood was unlike Eruption. The former lasted for an entire day, so there was no need to wait for a critical moment to use it.

Rumble—

With Qi and Blood applied to your body, your vitality regeneration reached a terrifying level. Without needing to worry about the cost, you directly began to burn your own qi and blood.

Burning your qi and blood naturally erupted with power far beyond your normal state. It was a standard life-risking measure for body cultivation True Monarchs.

Yet, supported by the Qi and Blood divine ability, you could use this desperate measure casually until the divine ability's duration ended.

Crimson vitality swept outward, easily suppressing the eighty-one empowered Dharma swords.

"Burning his blood already?"

True Monarch Chongtian's expression darkened. With a thought, a colossal beast fifty to sixty zhang tall appeared beside him.

This behemoth was a silver-furred giant wolf. It bore a full moon mark on its forehead, and a cold, eerie aura spread from its body.

"A Rank 4 Early Stage Peak beast king, a Silver Moon Wolf King? No, it's a mutant among Silver Moon Wolf Kings—a Golden Moon Wolf King?"

You looked at the giant wolf, whose aura was infinitely close to that of a Mid Stage True Monarch, and recognized it.

Deep within the wolf's eyes flickered a shattered golden light. It was no ordinary Silver Moon Wolf.

"Little Jin, directly burn your demonic energy and kill him."

True Monarch Chongtian commanded, looking at the giant wolf.

"Howl!"

The silver-furred giant wolf roared at the sky. Its aura skyrocketed, fully reaching the level of a Rank 4 Mid Stage beast king.

Its massive, mountain-like body charged toward you, its previously cold aura rapidly turning scorching hot.

"A mere beast dares to be so insolent!"

Withstanding the empowered eighty-one Dharma swords, you took a large stride forward. Extending your right hand, your ocean-like vitality mixed with your immense Mountain and Sea mana. With a single slap, you sent the silver-furred giant wolf flying.

"Slash! Slash! Slash!"

True Monarch Chongtian formed hand seals. His mana surged, elevating the power of the eighty-one Dharma swords once again.

Sword after sword hacked against your body, emitting sharp, ear-piercing shrieks and scattering sparks.

"I told you, these swords of yours can't even pierce my skin."

You took a deep breath. Your immense Mountain and Sea mana converged to form a Heaven and Earth Net, enveloping the swords around you. Then, you reached out your right hand, and the Heaven and Earth Net contracted into a bound sack that fell into your grasp.

Bulges constantly appeared on the surface of the sack as the eighty-one Dharma swords struggled violently inside, trying to tear open the bindings woven from Mountain and Sea mana.

However, the sack was fundamentally your secret art, Heaven and Earth Net. Supported by your immense mana, those eighty-one Dharma swords wouldn't be breaking free anytime soon.

"Roar!"

At that moment, the Golden Moon Wolf King recovered and charged at you again, its nearly tangible demonic energy blotting out the sky.

You didn't even look before delivering another slap.

The Golden Moon Wolf King was sent flying backward once again, the astonishing demonic energy radiating from its body weakening at a visible rate.

Even if it had temporarily crossed the Mid Stage threshold by relying on its racial talent, it had only barely stepped into the stage. How could it possibly contend with a Rank 4 Mid Stage body cultivator like you, who was burning your qi and blood and wielding vastly enhanced strength?

Right then, a half-man-tall axe appeared without warning in front of the distant True Monarch Chongtian.

True Monarch Chongtian bit the tip of his tongue and spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the axe.

In an instant, the half-man-tall axe bloomed with a completely new, oppressive aura, as if it could cleave heaven and earth apart.

"An imitation... of the Heaven Reaching Spirit Treasure, the Heaven-Cleaving Axe?"

Your expression turned grave. You had seen True Monarch Chongtian use this giant axe a few times, but it had never displayed such terrifying might before.

Heaven Reaching Spirit Treasures were weapons that only Deity Transformation Heavenly Monarchs and higher existences could use. Among them, the Heaven-Cleaving Axe ranked at the very top in terms of offensive power.

At the dawn of the ancient era, an immortal descended to the mortal realm and used this axe to stabilize heaven and earth, thereby creating the current layout of the Human Realm's continents and endless oceans.

"I can't let him swing it!"

Although you were confident in your defense, there was no need to give True Monarch Chongtian the opportunity.

You looked at True Monarch Chongtian, your sleeves fluttering.

Buzz—

The ten Tier 4 puppets, stationed separately across a hundred-li radius, began to close in.

Driven by them, the Tier 4 grand array also began to shift. Originally geared toward suppression, it suddenly transformed into an offensive formation. Its boundless power condensed into a blade of light that slashed down at True Monarch Chongtian.

True Monarch Chongtian had originally focused all his attention on activating the giant axe before him. Suddenly faced with the array's reversal, he was caught off guard and was sent flying dozens of zhang away.

Had it not been for the dragon-scale barrier he condensed over his body at the critical moment, that single strike alone would likely have been enough to severely injure him.

"This method of reversing a grand array isn't something an array diagram can accomplish. Are you a Tier 4 array grandmaster?"

True Monarch Chongtian's face was deathly pale. With his mana churning inside him, he looked at you, his eyes filled with shock.

Only a true Tier 4 array grandmaster could reverse a Tier 4 grand array so effortlessly. Those Nascent Soul Stage True Monarchs who relied on Tier 4 array diagrams only knew the how, not the why. How could they possibly wield a Tier 4 grand array to such an extent?

True Monarch Chongtian was in disbelief. From the start of the battle until now, you had displayed two distinct skills: those of a Tier 4 puppet grandmaster and a Tier 4 array grandmaster.

Add to that your publicly known identity as a Tier 4 alchemy grandmaster, and you had mastered three different Tier 4 skills.

Yet you had only stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage three or four hundred years ago. In such a short time, how could you have mastered so many Tier 4 skills?

This is trouble...

A bad premonition suddenly welled up in True Monarch Chongtian's heart.

In a short span of time, his eighty-one Dharma swords were suppressed, his Tier 4 spirit pet was heavily injured, and his attempt to activate the giant axe with his essence blood was forcibly interrupted.

True Monarch Chongtian's most powerful combat methods were either rendered useless or thoroughly suppressed.

Although he was also skilled in soul attacks, considering your soul strength—capable of simultaneously controlling ten Tier 4 puppets—and his past experience exchanging blows with you, True Monarch Chongtian didn't think a soul attack would be effective.

Could it be that today, I really have to pay a tragic price just to escape?

True Monarch Chongtian's heart was filled with reluctance. He had the ambition to break through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone everywhere searching for traces of beast kings with a True Spirit Bloodline.

But paying a tragic price meant that his hopes of breaking through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage would be drastically reduced.

Unless absolutely forced to, why would True Monarch Chongtian ever be willing to do such a thing?

In the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty, he held a noble status and had already obtained the essence souls and demonic cores of four types of True Spirit Bloodline beast kings collected by the dynasty.

He only needed to acquire the last type of demonic core to concoct the Five Saints Ultimate Transformation Pill and attempt a breakthrough to the Late Nascent Soul Stage.

Outside the Tier 4 grand array, in the center of the battlefield.

Prince Zhennan of the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty struck out, clashing against the Wujian Hall Master and a Tier 4 Mid Stage Green-Eyed Golden Toad. At the same time, he glanced at the edge of the battlefield, toward the hundred-li area isolated by the Tier 4 grand array.

"Chongtian and that True Monarch Qingyuan..."

A trace of doubt surfaced in Prince Zhennan's heart. Isolated by the Tier 4 grand array, even he couldn't see what was happening inside.

"Rest assured, Prince Zhennan. I am very familiar with Brother Chongtian's methods; nothing will go wrong."

A voice drifted over. It belonged to another Mid Stage True Monarch of the immortal dynasty, True Monarch Gujing.

At this moment, True Monarch Gujing was engaged in battle with the White Emperor of the Baidi Domain, yet he also hadn't forgotten to keep an eye on the battlefield.

"True."

Prince Zhennan nodded slightly. He knew of True Monarch Chongtian's trump cards.

The man had a hidden beast king capable of bursting with Rank 4 Mid Stage battle power for a short time.

Even if faced against someone like Prince Zhennan, who was empowered by the immortal dynasty's providence, Chongtian could still retreat unscathed.

True Monarch Qingyuan? How could he possibly pose a threat to True Monarch Chongtian?

Among the clouds below, the Early Nascent Soul Stage True Monarchs fighting in a brutal melee also noticed the battle between you and True Monarch Chongtian being isolated by the grand array.

Inside the Tier 4 grand array, having gained absolute superiority, you confirmed that True Monarch Chongtian had used up almost all of his trump cards. You immediately decided to deploy your final killer move.

Buzz—

The power of the Tier 4 grand array churned. Controlled by the ten Tier 4 puppets, it suddenly caused True Monarch Chongtian to lose all sense of direction.

Whether it was his vision or his divine sense, both were restricted to a radius of a few dozen meters; anything beyond that was a hazy blur.

"Not good—"

True Monarch Chongtian was deeply alarmed and, without hesitation, he took out a black pill.

Intricate patterns covered the surface of this black pill, which exuded a certain aura of calamity. Once consumed, it could forcefully boost True Monarch Chongtian's mana and soul by several times—nearly tenfold.

Naturally, the price was also steep; it required massively overdrawing his physical body and soul's potential.

This overdraw of his body and soul's potential would cause irreversible damage to True Monarch Chongtian's chances of breaking through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage.

But right now, True Monarch Chongtian had no choice.

As the black pill slid down his throat, True Monarch Chongtian's mana and soul began to surge exponentially.

The terrifying soul aura and mana presence swept away the array's power surrounding him.

However, completely purging all of the array's power would take True Monarch Chongtian time.

While still unseen by True Monarch Chongtian, you had quietly transformed into a pitch-black, single-eyed flood dragon nearly a hundred zhang long.

A suffocating, oppressive aura brewed within the single eye on your forehead.

The Single-Eyed Flood Dragon form of the Divine Ability Transformation.

Through this transformation, you grasped the innate method of the Single-Eyed Flood Dragon: the Light of Extinction.

This innate method held incredibly terrifying power, faintly reaching the threshold of the Late Nascent Soul Stage.

However, its conditions were extremely restrictive, requiring ten breaths of preparation time.

But with the coordination of ten puppets to buy those ten breaths for you, it naturally wasn't difficult.

True Monarch Chongtian's soul power and mana swept out madly, finally clearing away the array power that had blinded his senses.

Yet, what greeted True Monarch Chongtian was a grayish, hazy Light of Extinction.

Time seemed to grind to a halt as True Monarch Chongtian stared at the fleeting, grayish Light of Extinction.

Before True Monarch Chongtian could even react, the Light of Extinction descended upon him.

The power of extinction, capable of obliterating everything, easily pierced through True Monarch Chongtian's mana barrier.

Dragon scales materialized across True Monarch Chongtian's skin, but they too were pierced by the Light of Extinction.

In that split second, True Monarch Chongtian knew he had to make a sacrifice.

Boom—

True Monarch Chongtian's physical body violently exploded. The terrifying aura produced by a Mid Nascent Soul Stage True Monarch detonating his own flesh constantly canceled out the Light of Extinction.

At that moment, True Monarch Chongtian's Nascent Soul spirit body silently slipped out, bringing along his storage ring and numerous precious treasures, and fled outward without hesitation.

The Nascent Soul spirit body was not a physical entity. It tore through the grand array at a speed that nearly warped space itself.

Buzz—

A suffocating soul attack caught up to him. True Monarch Chongtian's Nascent Soul spirit body let out a muffled groan, its aura suddenly plunging, but it ultimately managed to block the attack.

"He indeed has unique methods when it comes to soul defense."

Witnessing this scene, you sighed inwardly. For that soul attack, you had layered on the Divine Ability Eruption, pushing your soul strength past the threshold of the Late Nascent Soul Stage.

Even so, you still failed to make True Monarch Chongtian's Nascent Soul spirit body stay.

Whoosh—

True Monarch Chongtian's Nascent Soul spirit body distorted everything around it, tearing open the grand array and rushing toward the center of the battlefield.

However, just a few hundred li outside the grand array, a shocking suction force erupted from below.

A burly figure transformed into a black hole, and a formless restraining force blanketed a radius of hundreds of li.

It was none other than Dachun, who had long been lying in ambush.

True Monarch Chongtian's Nascent Soul spirit body had already been heavily wounded by your Late Nascent Soul Stage divine sense attack. When he suddenly encountered Dachun's body cultivation divine ability, Flesh Black Hole, he inevitably stalled for an instant.

And in that brief instant, your next soul attack descended.

"No—"

True Monarch Chongtian's face filled with terror. He turned to look at you, who was also walking out of the grand array, and shrieked, "True Monarch Qingyuan, you cannot kill me! If you kill me, the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty will not let you off!"

Your expression remained calm, and your soul attack did not pause in the slightest.

Long before you set up the plan to kill True Monarch Chongtian, you knew that slaying this Mid Stage True Monarch would invite the revenge of the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty.

True Monarch Chongtian held a very high status in the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to acquire the essence souls and demonic cores of four different True Spirit Bloodline beast kings from the dynasty.

Yet, the Five Saints Ultimate Transformation Pill pertained to your path of the Dao. At the Nascent Soul level, crucial resources were exceedingly limited. If you wanted to travel further, you had to fight for them.

Buzz.

Wave after wave of soul attacks crashed down. True Monarch Chongtian's Nascent Soul spirit body was on the verge of collapsing before you finally grabbed it with one hand and sealed it inside a jade box.

Whoosh...

The instant you captured True Monarch Chongtian's Nascent Soul spirit body, an unseen sense of crisis crashed down upon you. From the distant territory of the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty, a certain existence cast their gaze in this direction.

A sensation of blood surging to the heart, unique to a Tier 4 divination grandmaster, let you know that you had thoroughly offended the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty to the death, leaving no room for compromise.

"Sigh..."

You sighed. The feud with the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty was now completely set in stone.

"Killing one is still killing; killing ten is also killing..."

You looked at the many dazed True Monarchs of the immortal dynasty in the distance, a cold killing intent surging in your eyes.
