537: Refining Mr. Mercury, his strength skyrocketed!

“Damn it! I, a dignified Third Rank Mysterious Immortal, who cultivated for five thousand years, am actually going to be refined by you, a mere child! I refuse to accept this!”

“My brothers will definitely avenge me!”

“Kill, kill, kill! Hate, hate, hate!”

It wasn't long before Water Star Great Immortal was roaring and even losing his mind from the refinement.

This showed just how powerful the Fire Emperor Red Emperor Purgatory Great Barrier, this supreme divine ability, was.

Mysterious Immortals were beings who had cultivated Mysterious Power, and their physical bodies were incredibly strong.

“Hmph, I gave you a chance, but you didn’t seize it, so don’t blame me.”

Guo Feng gave Water Star Great Immortal a cold glance, snorted, and then unleashed his Immortal Power into the Great Array.

Instantly, the power of the Fire Emperor Red Emperor Purgatory Great Barrier increased by more than tenfold!

Water Star Great Immortal screamed even more intensely.

However, this didn't affect Guo Feng's state of mind in the slightest; he focused wholeheartedly on activating the formation.

One day, two days, three days…

Time passed bit by bit.

By the fifth day, Water Star Great Immortal’s Immortal Body began to disintegrate, and his Mysterious Power could no longer sustain him.

Water Star Great Immortal quickly cried out, “Fellow Daoist, give me a chance! I’ll help you gather my brothers; please don’t refine me!”

He was begging for mercy.

“Heh, it’s too late to beg for mercy now.”

Guo Feng shook his head with a cold sneer, “The chance I gave you before was simply the Great Dao leaving a sliver of hope for any living being, and I merely followed its path. I gave you the opportunity, but you didn’t seize it, so it has nothing to do with me.”

“No—my brothers possess endless immortal treasures and boundless wealth, but they are cunning as hares with three burrows; it won’t be easy for you to find them!”

Water Star Great Immortal refused to give up, continuing to persuade Guo Feng, his voice filled with infinite regret.

Guo Feng ignored him and instead increased the infusion of his magical power.

Another five days passed.

This day was already January 19th.

As one cultivated further, time indeed flew by incredibly fast.

With a rumble.

Within the Fire Emperor Red Emperor Purgatory Great Barrier, there was a roar, and Water Star Great Immortal let out his final scream. His Immortal Body and Golden Core were completely refined, transforming into the purest essence.

His soul, within the formation, continuously wailed.

Five thousand years of arduous cultivation ultimately became a fleeting dream.

“Such immense essence! If I refine it, my strength will greatly improve. What I can’t refine, I’ll store here for others!”

Guo Feng also smiled; the essence of a Third Rank Mysterious Immortal was truly terrifying.

Even with his Haotian Holy Body, he couldn't refine so much at once.

He then formed a seal and cast the Great Heavenly Devil Devouring Technique, transforming it into a vortex. Like a whale swallowing a river, he began to rapidly refine Water Star Great Immortal’s essence through the Great Heavenly Demon Devouring Array, infusing it into his body.

His Immortal Power surged madly.

One hundred Immortal Power!

Two hundred Immortal Power!

One thousand Immortal Power!

In an instant, his Immortal Power increased by one thousand Immortal Power, equivalent to the magical power of one thousand immortals who had just entered the True Immortal realm, integrating into his body.

Immediately, his magical power reached over eighteen hundred Immortal Power.

It doubled!

“Good, very good. Now that my magical power has greatly increased, I’ll raise my rank again. The three Supreme Great Daos are the most profound; if I max them out this time, my combat power will surely skyrocket!”

Thinking this, Guo Feng acted immediately. He summoned his panel and frantically raised the realms of the three Supreme Great Daos.

A moment later.

He spent a full 5 billion spirit stones to elevate the three Supreme Great Daos to the Great Perfection of the Fifth Layer of the Dao True Realm.

Instantly, the quality of his Great Five Elements Emperor Qi, Great Sumeru Light, and Great Heaven Demon Qi surged throughout his body.

The divine ability talismans in his mind also received a great boost.

He clearly felt that if he were to fight Water Star Great Immortal again now, it would only take a few rounds to slay him.

“This is really good. While I’m at it, I’ll raise my level again. I’ll do a two hundred seventy consecutive draws to get Immortal Beans to increase my Immortal Power, and immortal treasures, either for myself or to reward others.”

Guo Feng smiled as he made his decision.

He also had to admit that Immortal Beans were a heaven-defying item.

Even though he could no longer absorb Water Star Great Immortal’s essence, he could still use Immortal Beans to increase his magical power.

These Immortal Beans could indeed be considered supreme treasures!

Thinking this, he immediately spent 270 billion spirit stones for a two hundred seventy consecutive draw.

Instantly, his spatial storage gained 200 Immortal Beans and 70 immortal treasures.

Among them, most were lower-grade immortal pills and lower grade immortal artifact, with a few middle grade immortal pills and middle grade immortal artifacts as well.

“Still no good stuff, but never mind, 70 immortal treasures are already decent.”

He wasn't too greedy and directly consumed the 200 Immortal Beans.

His Immortal Power immediately increased by another 1000 Immortal Power, reaching 2861 Immortal Power.

This was already comparable to a Mysterious Immortal!

Of course, there were huge differences in the original Immortal Rank realms because each rank was different.

True Immortals possessed True Immortal Power.

Heavenly Immortals cultivated a Heavenly Immortal Golden Core.

Mysterious Immortals comprehended the profound and abstruse realm, cultivating Mysterious Power.

With the same amount of Immortal Power, the difference in output among various ranks was not significant.

However, Guo Feng's Haotian Holy Body inherently enhanced the quality of his Immortal Power, allowing him to challenge those of higher ranks without issue.

Coupled with his numerous immortal artifacts, abundant treasures, and profound Immortal Power, he could now completely suppress a Third Rank Mysterious Immortal in two or three moves.

It could be said to be an instant kill!

“Alright, that’s about enough. Water Star Great Immortal, final step.”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and grabbed Water Star Great Immortal’s storage ring from the Purgatory Great Barrier.

With a thought, he explored it and found that Water Star Great Immortal was indeed quite poor.

His ordinary spirit stones, like semi-immortal stones, were only worth over 3 billion.

There were, however, eleven immortal stones.

Guo Feng didn't care for the other magical treasures; they were all spirit-grade, with only the lower-grade immortal artifact, the Fiery Immortal Hand, being somewhat noteworthy.

Nevertheless, something was better than nothing, so he accepted them all with a smile.

“Eh, this map is… a star map? And it’s a star map of the Immortal Realm dimension of the Pan Gu Great World?”

Just as Guo Feng was about to leave the storage ring, he suddenly felt a faint aura of the starry sky. His Immortal Sense swept over it, and he immediately discovered a faintly glowing star map.

He was shocked to see that it was a star map of the Immortal Realm dimension, although only half of it.

Because there were a total of twenty Immortal Realms in the Pangu Great World, and this star map only contained ten of them.

But it was still very good.

Moreover, Guo Feng now also knew that the Mortal Realm universe was just as Earth scientists had observed.

It was an infinitely vast space, spread out approximately on a cosmic dimension.

And above the Mortal Realm universe was the Immortal Realm dimension.

The Immortal Realm dimension was also extremely vast and closely related to the Mortal Realm dimension.

“With this star map, I’ll have great help in exploring other Immortal Realms in the future. How did this Water Star Great Immortal get it?”

Guo Feng frowned, pondered for a moment, then laughed, “Who cares? Soul search him! Great Heavenly Demon Soul-Devouring Art!”

As he spoke, he flicked his finger, and a demonic array instantly enveloped the soul left behind by Water Star Great Immortal.

This was a supreme divine ability of the Grand Devil Dao; the Heavenly Demon Heart-Devouring Talisman was derived from this supreme divine ability.

As his Great Array enveloped it, Water Star Great Immortal’s thoughts and memories were fully revealed within his Immortal Sense…
