"It's too late."
On a secluded island in the Sea of Turmoil, Alkaid furrowed his brows.
He had originally intended to cultivate continuously until he reached the Hollow Void Realm, but he had not anticipated the transformation from the Blazing White Golden Core to the Deep Blue Golden Core, a qualitative change, which unexpectedly wasted three months of his ti, even for him.
Although the breakthrough process went smoothly without any setbacks, it resulted in a higher consumption.
This caused him, who initially only had 1.05 million Pure Yang Great Pills, to consu an additional 500,000 during the process of forming the Deep Blue Golden Core.
Now...
After completing the breakthrough, only 200,000 Pure Yang Great Pills remained.
These elixirs were clearly not enough to further stabilize and evolve his Deep Blue Golden Core to its second form.
"Ultimately, I have ford the Deep Blue Golden Core. If I were to try collapsing it into the Chaos Void now and allow the Dharma Phase to transform into True Spirit, refining void into reality, combining the illusionary and the real, transforming into a Cave Heaven, my chances wouldn't be small. I wouldn't claim a hundred percent, but seventy to eighty percent sure... Yet..."
Alkaid paused, "Since evolving the Deep Blue Golden Core to its second form, the middle stage, would increase the success rate of the breakthrough to a hundred percent, why should I take this risk?"
Feeling the core within his body that continued to condense, emitting a deep blue glow...
And because he had just broken through, the deep blue light nearly perated his body, radiating outwards, causing the surrounding temperature to drastically increase, Alkaid took a deep breath.
Continue.
He had no intention of wasting the remaining 200,000 Pure Yang Great Pills.
With a thought, a Kunpeng Divine Beast seed to appear within his body, consuming the Pure Yang Great Pills he had ingested with the force born from the Chaos Void.
This refining efficiency was not just a notch faster compared to that with the Blazing White Golden Core.
"Not only is the efficiency of the Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Technique more notable, the usage of the You Long Sword and the Two Realms Ruler also beca easier, and the Rip the Sky with One Strike and Nine Transformations of Heavenly Movent beca more handy."
Alkaid sensed the changes in his body.
He knew these were the advantages brought about by the transformation from the Blazing White Golden Core to the Deep Blue Golden Core.
The Blazing White Golden Core was rely the largest form of a stellar core.
But the Deep Blue Golden Core shattered the concept of "largest" by breaking the limitations of "quantity" and evolving into a super giant star.
The imnse mass naturally had a greater impact on the surrounding environnt.
If previously his use of Supre Divine Power was akin to skillfully handling enormous force with minimal effort, now...
It was at least handling enormous force with substantial ease.
Previously, to unleash Rip the Sky with One Strike, he had to first rely on the "Void's Child" talent to sense the ripples of the void, then use the You Long Sword to drive these ripples, and finally release this Supre Divine Technique, but now, the energy within the Deep Blue Golden Core itself was enough to stir the void, and although it couldn't be done as effortlessly as the combination of the Hollow Void and Chaos Void, it still t the standards for unleashing Supre Divine Power...
With these thoughts in mind, Alkaid finally understood why top Immortal Sects often only allowed True Disciples to cultivate Supre Divine Power.
For disciples at the Blazing White Golden Core Level, not to ntion whether they could cultivate it, even if they managed to, unleashing it was extrely difficult.
Rather than wasting precious ti on cultivating Supre Divine Power, it was better to first form the Deep Blue Golden Core.
"However, Supre Divine Power is virtually of no great use to . The appeal of this power lies in its might and, most crucially, the fact that a perfected Supre Divine Power acts like a catalyst, allowing entry into the Dao Techniques. However, I have so far only accessed thirteen Dao Techniques, which limits my options. I shall not waste my efforts on Supre Divine Power for now; the few that I have are sufficient."
With his mind set, he continued to refine the remaining Pure Yang Great Pills using the Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Technique.
In less than half a year, the 200,000 Pure Yang Great Pills were completely refined by the Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Technique.
The Deep Blue Golden Core inside him beca even more robust than before.
But...
"To let the Deep Blue Golden Core evolve to its second form, I would need approximately 2 million Pure Yang Great Pills. There's still a gap of 1.8 million elixirs."
This number was not small.
However, considering his current strength, perhaps gathering this shortfall of 1.8 million Pure Yang Great Pills would be faster than the initial 1 million needed for the transition from the Blazing White Golden Core to the Deep Blue Golden Core.
He took another look at the You Long Sword in his hand.
During this period of cultivation, he also incorporated materials like the Flowing Void Crystal from the Xi Family into this flying sword using the Spirit Nurturing Art and Treasure Refining Art, making the essence of this flying sword even more profound.
He was fifty percent confident the You Long Sword could "Enter the Way" successfully.
However, since this flying sword was his only handy weapon, it was not convenient to try entering the way with it now.
It could wait until he acquired a replacent flying sword.
At that mont, his figure moved and he flew directly out of the underwater cave abode that had almost been destroyed due to the overflow of power during the breakthrough.
As he left, the cave abode, no longer maintained by his repairs, imdiately collapsed, causing the small island of about a mile in radius to also collapse and vanish completely into the vast, boundless sea.
Once out of the cave, Alkaid did not imdiately leave but fully stimulated his Divine Sense, scanning the surroundings several tis to ensure no other cultivators were present. Then, with a flip of his hand, the Heaven-Sealing Stele appeared in his grasp.
Within the Heaven-Sealing Stele, the figure of Xuan Shuang, a True Disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, was vividly alive.
Although he was suppressed by the Dao Artifact, he was not dead, and could still slightly perceive the outside world.
During his ti as a Blazing White Golden Core, Alkaid could not fully kill this bearer of the Deep Blue True Inheritance.
But now...
The You Long Sword transford into a beam of golden light, shooting towards the heavens, and under the terrifying energy of the Deep Blue Golden Core, it instantly swept away the spatial ripples, creating a virtual tsunami vastly more powerful than any Blazing White Golden Core could.
Having prepared the force of the virtual tsunami to its zenith, and driven by the Jianfeng, it directly blasted towards the location of the Heaven-Sealing Stele.
It was also at this ti that Alkaid activated the Heaven-Sealing Stele.
The suppressing force of the void instantly converged.
Imprisoned within, Xuan Shuang violently struggled and broke free.
The mont he appeared, he imdiately stimulated the Crimson Gold Phoenix Body to its limit.
"Alkaid, I am a True Disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, if you kill , the Heavenly Dao Sect..."
Unfortunately, his words had no influence on Alkaid's will whatsoever.
His Divine Sense didn't even get the chance to fully transmit the information, as the You Long Sword, ready and poised, had already blasted its Rip the Sky with One Strike might on his not fully deployed Crimson Gold Phoenix Body.
"Boom!"
Firelight exploded.
Endless flas and radiance burst forth from the body of this True Disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
This True Disciple's Divine Phoenix Body was like a warship struck head-on by particles at the speed of light, instantly shattered.
"Alkaid!"
His body was destroyed, but Xuan Shuang surprisingly didn't die on the spot, instead, he let out an angry roar.
The shattered Crimson Gold Phoenix Body burned intensely as it transford from a body into flas, and these dispersing flas began to regroup, undergoing Nirvana Rebirth!
It was as if it was about to reform its Divine Body.
"Hmm!?"
Alkaid furrowed his brows.
The power of the Heaven-Sealing Stele was stirred once more.
Formless ripples sealed the Crimson Gold Phoenix Body just as it was about to undergo Nirvana rebirth.
At the sa ti, the You Long Sword turned into a golden light, driving the void ripples like a ship pushing through the sea, swiftly condensing the void ripples into one, forming a second Rip the Sky with One Strike.
By the ti the power of the Heaven-Sealing Stele dispersed again, Xuan Shuang, not yet finished with Nirvana, was struck again by the power of Rip the Sky with One Strike.
"Spare my life..."
Faintly, it seed that the unwilling plea of this True Disciple was heard.
But these Mind Thoughts had no effect on the speed of Alkaid's sword.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by the second Rip the Sky with One Strike, the Crimson Gold Phoenix Body, barely regrouping into flas, was completely shattered, exploding into endless firelight, scattering in all directions.
This ti, those flas could no longer burn; despite the intense heat that could scorch the heavens and boil the sea, it only lasted a mont on the surface of the sea before it faded away.
Alkaid's figure flickered, and his hands now held a Storage Treasure and a war blade.
His first Rip the Sky with One Strike, with the Heaven-Sealing Stele having sealed Xuan Shuang, hadn't managed to fatally kill him because it avoided damage overflow, which would have destroyed everything on his body.
Unexpectedly...
The Crimson Gold Phoenix Body could still undergo one Nirvana.
Fortunately, Xuan Shuang in the middle of Nirvana apparently couldn't destroy the Storage Treasure and the war blade; although it took a bit more effort, the goal of keeping the spoils was still achieved.
He examined the war blade...
"The quality is decent; it has a lot of room for modifications."
The war blade wasn't the focus though.
The focus was...
His Divine Sense scanned Xuan Shuang's Storage Treasure imdiately.
Suddenly, countless Pure Yang Great Pills and nurous cultivation resources all ca into view.
"Truly worthy of being a True Disciple, so wealthy! No less than one million Pure Yang Great Pills, the total value of various resources also exceeds one million Pure Yang Great Pills, plus the war blade... with just a bit of selling, the total profit will definitely exceed three million Pure Yang Great Pills."
What's called getting rich overnight.
This is called making a fortune in one go.
"True Disciple."
Alkaid muttered.
True Disciple of a top-tier sect...
Indeed has money.
No wonder everyone wants to beco a True Disciple of a great sect.
However, considering that the death of any True Disciple would cause their sect to at least organize a team led by a Hollow Void Elder to investigate thoroughly, Alkaid also dared not relax.
The You Long Sword spun in the void, stirring up more void ripples, continuously accumulating power and guiding.
After a few breaths, a Rip the Sky with One Strike, multiple tis stronger than the previous, thundered down, this ti targeting...
Strikingly, this piece of the void.
With one strike, this Supre Divine Power lived up to its na, tearing through the void and causing this area within tens of miles to collapse completely.
Countless Qi and particles were completely smashed into nothingness.
Terrible void ripples and energy fluctuations spread far and wide, affecting thousands of miles, tearing everything within this range to shreds.
The sea below stirred up sky-high giant waves, on a small planet it would be enough for world annihilation, continuously sweeping the surroundings.
After the shockwave gradually dissipated, one could foresee that this region would likely experience frightening teorological changes due to these severe void alterations.
These teorological events would be enough to erase nearly all traces.
Afterward, unless a Shattered Void Realm Supre Elder adept at tracing and investigating Great Dao intervened, it would be very difficult for anyone to find any useful clues.
Having done all this, Alkaid didn't waste further ti and once again summoned the Dragon Steed Flying Boat.
As the flying boat accelerated, quickly sweeping open the void, it soon disappeared from this battlefield.
