Gold Core Is A Star, You Call This Cultivating Immortality?

Chapter 69: Endless Slaughter

"Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Endless sea of flowers!

On the stairway to heaven, Qi Yuan held his sword, and all the insights from burying flowers became his.

In an instant, on the entire arena, thousands of terrifying blood-red armored figures, each standing at ten meters tall, appeared.

Thousands of towering Qi Yuans, all holding swords, fixed their gaze on an enemy on the front arena.

It was a 0.5-meter-tall giant beetle, a mutated species within the beetle clan, several times larger than an ordinary beetle.

At this moment, it looked at the vast illusions in the sky, with question marks above its head.

And Qi Yuan pointed his sword at the giant beetle, saying, "As the saying goes, shoot the bird that sticks its head out first. Who let you not be low-key and be such a big fool? You are the Blue Giant of the beetle clan!"

If the 0.5-meter-tall giant beetle could speak, it would definitely say, "You're ten meters tall, and you call me a big fool at 0.5 meters tall?"

Kill.

Under the enhancement of the endless sea of flowers, the swords of thousands of Qi Yuans converged into one point and stabbed towards the giant beetle.

The giant beetle died.

After a forensic examination, its body was riddled with holes, and not a single intact piece of flesh could be found.

After Qi Yuan finished killing, he took a deep breath.

"The insights from burying flowers have deepened once again."

Today, he had experienced hundreds of battles, constantly gaining insights into the combat skills and cultivation experience of burying flowers.

"Now, I can proudly say that no one understands burying flowers better than me."

"Continue, the next battle!"

Dragging his burly body, Qi Yuan prepared to enter the next battle.

At this moment, he had reached level 97, and his strength had reached an astonishing level.

"Even Long Judgment is only level 99, reaching the peak of the Divine Domain."

Is level 100 a new realm?

But... is the Divine Domain only from level 90 to 100?

That's too short, isn't it?

Moreover, with the integration of Little Jia's Body Integration, I can display a strength of level 102 without feeling the increase in that higher realm.

In the continuous battles on the Ascension Platform, as his level increased, Qi Yuan discovered many problems.

The Heavenly Realm is from level 70 to 89.

The Divine Domain, is it really from level 90 to 99?

When he stepped from level 89 to level 90, Qi Yuan clearly felt that his strength had undergone a qualitative change.

However, when he equipped Little Jia, forcibly breaking through to level 100, the feeling of a sudden surge in strength was not very strong.

"Could it be that Dian, Long Judgment, and Yu are not the peak of the Divine Domain?" A terrifying speculation suddenly arose in Qi Yuan's mind.

But if they are not the peak of the Divine Domain, why do they feel like they are?

Could it be that there is a supremely powerful being who has changed their perception?

Or... is there a restriction on their breakthrough?

This feeling is like a person at the fifth level of Qi Refining being forcibly made to believe that the fifth level is the peak of Qi Refining.

And then, one day, they start Foundation Building.

So, what awaits him is probably a downfall.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan couldn't help but look towards the Ascension Platform and the densely packed seats above.

"Who used to watch the battles here?"

"The enemies I encounter now are already at level 80. Among the strong fighters on the Ascension Platform... what is the highest level?"

In the end, Qi Yuan dismissed these thoughts.

The battle continued, and he began to slaughter, earning experience.

......

Five Elements Prohibition.

Long Pan stood up and looked up at the sky, gazing at the ancient Qichun tree. He couldn't help but blurt out, "I can't believe that so many years have passed, and it has grown so big."

Yu also looked up at Long Pan and said, "The seed of the Qichun tree was obtained by you from the Five Elements Prohibition and offered to the heavenly gods. Perhaps this seed has absorbed all the obsessions of Princess Jiayi, which is why it has grown so big."

Thousands of years ago, the heavenly gods were defeated, and the demons from beyond the domain ravaged the human world. They fought and sacrificed together, but only by retreating to the prohibition land and relying on it could they temporarily evade the demons from beyond the domain.

And Yu was best at divination. He calculated that the day of the celestial dog eating the moon was when the demons from beyond the domain were weakest. This led to the Demon-Slaying Conference three hundred years later.

"It's a pity that the four major prohibition lands and the two major forbidden lands, ancient and mysterious as they are, even after staying in the Five Elements Prohibition for so long, and even with the fifth ancestor who can be considered the controller of the Five Elements Prohibition, we still couldn't discover the true secret hidden within the prohibition land," Long Pan sighed inexplicably.

"The master of the Yi Sect should have gone to the mortal realm, right?" Yu asked.

The mortal realm refers to the human world outside of the four major prohibition lands and the two major forbidden lands.

"Our insights and experiences either need to be precipitated through battles or we need to go to the mortal realm," Long Pan said. "Although Zang Hua has a foul mouth, he has put a lot of effort into it."

They knew that Zang Hua fought against the master of the Yi Sect in order to help the master digest his insights and experiences. This was a great drain on Zang Hua.

Because her power was accumulating, waiting for the Demon-Slaying Conference to unleash her strongest attack.

Once the power is depleted, it becomes difficult to replenish.

They were all the same, if they could avoid fighting, they would.

Of course, Long Pan couldn't avoid fighting against Tong Yi.

Otherwise, these old guys would definitely be willing to crawl out of their coffins to accompany the master of the Yi Sect as sparring partners.

"Do what you can, listen to fate. Three hundred years later, we will all come out and fight the demons together!"

......

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Qi Yuan woke up from his dream, his back covered in cold sweat, soaking his clothes, and his forehead as well.

He glanced at the wooden cat puppet on the bedside, its eyes wide open, sitting upright. The red and black paint seemed to have faded due to age.

Qi Yuan walked out of the thatched house and stood in the courtyard.

The cool moonlight fell on him, giving him a chill.

"Killing too many people, it's no wonder I have nightmares."

"I'm still too positive. It's just some lingering images."

Qi Yuan waved his hand, and a water mirror appeared in front of him.

He looked at himself in the mirror.

Extraordinarily handsome, with a hint of charm in his eyes, and a faint aura of killing.

"The aura of killing is still too strong."

"Who would believe that playing games would make me exude an aura of killing?"

After all, in the previous life's game, some people killed billions of monsters, but they didn't see anyone exuding an aura of killing.

Qi Yuan had already decided that if he couldn't refine or hide the aura of killing, he would never go out.

Even if he went out, he couldn't expose his identity.

With this in mind, Qi Yuan didn't go back to sleep. Instead, he took out the cultivation techniques he had brought out from the Black Mountain Sect and searched for techniques that could hide the aura of killing.

The Black Mountain Sect had committed many evil deeds, and some cultivators also needed to hide their killing aura, so there must be techniques of this type.

Qi Yuan searched for a long time and found three techniques that were similar to hiding the killing aura.

"The Profound Clear and Spiritual Great Technique," "The Ghost Domain Transformation Technique," and "The Concealment Technique."

Qi Yuan carefully examined them, and each of the three techniques had its own merits.

However, the first and second techniques were of a higher grade and could only be practiced by cultivators at the Foundation Building stage and above.

Qi Yuan couldn't practice them at the moment. What surprised Qi Yuan was that the second technique, "The Ghost Domain Transformation Technique," was not the main cultivation technique for cultivators, but rather a functional Taoist technique. After practicing it, there was a possibility of becoming a certain kind of existence's nourishment.

"The problems in this world are too big," Qi Yuan worried, "Even some Taoist techniques cannot be practiced indiscriminately."

He looked at the final "Concealment Formula".

This Daoist technique can be cultivated by Qi Refining cultivators.

It cannot eliminate killing intent, but rather conceals it.

Compared to the previous two methods, it is inferior, but still quite good.

[This is the Concealment Formula. If you make changes to its 145 parts, there may be unexpected results.]

Qi Yuan thought for a moment and made modifications to the Concealment Formula based on the hints he saw with his eyes.

After the modifications, he revealed a look of astonishment.

"My eyes truly understand me. The things I see are unexpectedly suitable for me!"

The newly modified Concealment Formula has completely changed its appearance.

Not only can he conceal his own killing intent, but he can also secretly unleash killing intent on others.

This makes Qi Yuan feel that if someone were to say he has a heavy killing intent and needs to eliminate demons and uphold righteousness, he can openly turn the tables.

...

"Die!"

On the Ascension stage, Qi Yuan, who had integrated with the Little Marriage Body, was facing the siege of ten Divine Domain experts.

At this point, he had already reached the tenth level of the Ten Thousand Stages.

After reaching the tenth level, the strength of the experts Qi Yuan encountered underwent a qualitative change.

The weakest among them were at the Divine Domain level.

Now, facing the siege of ten level 91 Divine Domain experts, Qi Yuan was completely fearless.

The blood in his body seemed to condense into substance, and his blood-red armor became even more enchanting.

"I have finally reached level 99."

Qi Yuan's voice also became somewhat enchanting.

He seemed to have come from hell.

With a single sword strike, the shadows of the ten Divine Domain experts were unable to resist and were slaughtered by Qi Yuan's sword.

Wearing the Little Marriage, Qi Yuan could exert the strength of level 104.

This kind of strength was not something these enemies who had just entered the Divine Domain could contend with.

Not to mention, Qi Yuan also had all the battle experience and insights of the 84 Divine Domain experts.

Now, it could be said without reservation that he understood those people better than they understood themselves.

All the battle experience and techniques had already merged into himself.

"In the upcoming battles, I should integrate all of my battle experience and techniques into myself."

"And, can't I also learn from the enemy's battle experience and techniques?"

"And there are still over 20,000 battles!"

"How many enemies?"

"At least 20,000 Divine Domain experts? Maybe... 200,000 Divine Domain experts?"

"I hope the Concealment Formula won't be overwhelmed."

Qi Yuan once again entered the game and continued his slaughter.

Time passed quickly.

One day in the game was equivalent to one year on the Ascension stage, and later on, one day in the game was equivalent to ten or a hundred years on the Ascension stage.

The information about what lay ahead was not revealed to Qi Yuan by the golden-armored god.

Perhaps it was because the golden-armored god didn't expect Qi Yuan to reach such a high level.

Perhaps he thought that Qi Yuan would be like the previous challengers, dying in a certain battle, staining the arena with blood, and becoming a part of the guardians.

Qi Yuan tirelessly slaughtered in the game.

He didn't know how many creatures he had killed.

Now, before him were fifty level 93 Divine Domain experts.

If it were before, Qi Yuan would quickly run away if he encountered them.

But now, he was completely fearless.

After experiencing over ten thousand battles, he had fully absorbed the combat experience of 84 Divine Domain powerhouses and assimilated the combat experience of the Guardian of the Realm. He had reached a terrifying level.

He was like a ghost dancing on the edge of a sword, wielding a blood-red sword as he weaved through dozens of Divine Domain powerhouses.

Every one of his sword strikes seemed heaven-sent.

Every attack, dodge, and release of Martial Dao Divine Ability was executed with utmost elegance, flawless to the point where even the most discerning person couldn't find any faults.

Qi Yuan's massive figure was adorned with even more dazzling armor, and the blood-red spikes on it were terrifying and chilling.

Now, he was even more demonic than the extraterrestrial demons.

As he killed his enemies with his sword, a continuous stream of experience flowed into his hands.

Qi Yuan squinted his eyes and said, "Still level 99? Can't level up to 100?"

Qi Yuan couldn't remember how many Divine Domains he had killed.

As a result, his experience bar was stuck at level 99 and couldn't increase any further.

It was as if an invisible hand had imprisoned him at level 99.

"At least the experience is still there." The only thing that made Qi Yuan feel better was that his experience was still intact.

It was just that he was unable to level up due to this imprisonment.

Once he broke through this barrier, he would be able to level up.

Qi Yuan wondered how high he would be able to level up.

At least level 110?

And there were still ten thousand more steps to climb, with even more Divine Domains within.

"This is truly my monster grinding paradise!" Qi Yuan thought for a moment and logged out of the Heavenly World.

He had killed enough, it was time to go offline.

Although Qi Yuan had experienced countless battles here, in reality, only half a month had passed.

During this half month, the water and fire energy within Qi Yuan's body had completed their transformation.

When the water energy transformed, it rained throughout the entire Divine Light Sect.

However, it might be related to Qi Yuan's own killing intent.

The color of that rain was red, like blood.

Any cultivator who was touched by that rain would have nightmares when they slept.

In their dreams, they would see a gigantic figure drenched in blood, seemingly slaughtering in all directions.

That gigantic figure emitted a terrifying aura, extremely horrifying.

This caused many ordinary disciples of the Divine Light Sect to have restless nights, and some even cried out, seeing devils in their dreams.

These words made the Foundation Building and Nascent Soul cultivators find it amusing.

What was there to be afraid of in a dream?

Moreover, hearing those disciples describe that blood-red terrifying figure as a demon god was even more amusing.

Qi Refining cultivators and ordinary mortals had limited experience, anything could be called an evil god.

Some Foundation Building and Nascent Soul cultivators who had already opened their meridians were interested in that dream. They voluntarily fell asleep, and when they saw that terrifying blood-red figure, their reactions were no weaker than those of Qi Refining disciples and ordinary mortals.

Moreover, due to their broader experiences, they understood the horror of that blood-red figure even more, causing many of them to lose their composure.

For several days, the Qi Refining disciples of the entire Divine Light Sect dared not sleep at night, practicing with panda eyes. It wasn't until five days later that everything returned to normal.

The various strange occurrences in the Divine Light Sect recently had already spread throughout the Great Shang Kingdom, attracting a lot of attention.

At this moment, Qi Yuan opened the Heavenly World chat interface, hugged Xiaojia's slender waist, changed to a comfortable position, and started chatting with Jinli.

"Ah, there are too many enemies in this Heavenly World. I have to kill every day, and I'm getting tired of it," Qi Yuan couldn't help but complain to Jinli with some negative energy.

In the past, he rarely vented negative energy.

Nowadays, after every major battle, he would chat with Jinli for a while to relieve the emotions in his heart.

Of course, even if he hadn't experienced a major battle, he had already gotten used to chatting with Jinli.

And Jinli was particularly understanding, sometimes listening, sometimes speaking.

"I feel like in another half month, I'll be able to break through the Heavenly World," Qi Yuan sent the message.

PS: There are two more chapters, they will be a bit late, everyone can read them tomorrow morning!
