204: Mysterious space, continuous improvement

The young man's body instantly vanished into thin air after his demise.

The other physical objects he carried fell to the ground.

Among them were a powerful Cultivation Technique, highly ranked Immortal herbs, several ancient maps, and many things you couldn't understand.

Regardless of their usefulness, you collected them all.

Afterward, you turned your gaze to Su Mingyue.

You didn't know what had happened to her.

But at this moment, Su Mingyue had already lost her vitality; her entire body was like an unconscious husk, with only the tentacles still wriggling.

After much deliberation, you ultimately decided to completely eradicate her, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Several hours later.

You returned to the Black Gorge Demon Territory.

You began to examine what you had gained from this trip.

First was the Cultivation Technique obtained from the young man.

This item was named the Dao-Attainment Cultivation.

It was perfectly balanced, without any particular strengths.

But its greatest use was that it could be cultivated to the Dao Transformation Realm.

You silently memorized this Cultivation Technique.

You planned to switch to this Cultivation Technique once the Hidden Edge Art could no longer be cultivated further.

The other items on the young man, however, left you somewhat baffled.

Aside from the extremely high-quality Immortal herbs, you couldn't discern the origin of any of the other items, whether they were maps, stone coffins, or those strangely shaped objects.

So, after consuming and refining the Immortal herbs, you gave the maps to your many Immortal Emperor Cultivators, asking them to see if they could find the direction indicated by the maps.

In the 70,005th year.

After refining all the Immortal herbs, your cultivation successfully reached the fifth layer of the True Immortal Emperor Realm.

At the same time, you also sensed that the young man's identity was not simple.

Because improving in the True Immortal Emperor Realm was simply too difficult.

Cultivators who reached this Realm could only advance one minor Realm after tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years; it was very difficult to improve through external forces.

And you were the same; after reaching the True Immortal Emperor Realm, even if you refined all the Immortal herbs in the entire Five Regions, it would be impossible to advance a single Realm.

Yet, the few Immortal herbs he carried with him were more potent than the accumulated resources of the entire Five Regions. How terrifying was that?

"When my cultivation is high enough in the future, I must perform soul-searching on this person…"

You silently kept this matter in mind.

In the 70,300th year.

The flames of war in the Western Foothills Realm Cluster had already swept across the entire world.

The various races constantly fought over resources, quickly falling into a situation where all suffered heavy losses.

You knew, the time had come!

But just as you were about to make a move on the races with the most Luck, a new force arrived from another part of the Western Foothills Realm Cluster.

Their strength was far greater than that of a single Domain; in just a few months, they plundered a considerable amount of Luck, forcing the previously warring foreign Cultivators to unite and jointly resist them.

Upon learning this news, you had no choice but to abandon your original plan and continue to remain dormant in the Black Gorge Demon Territory.

In the 70,400th year.

The resources of the entire Black Gorge Demon Territory had been almost completely overdrawn by you.

To continue plundering resources, you set your sights on the Blood Swamp Demon Territory, not far from the Black Gorge Demon Territory.

This place had three Heavenly Emperor Cultivators, making it much stronger than the Black Gorge Demon Territory.

However, none of their Realms had surpassed the fifth layer of the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

So, to you, they were no different from ants.

Without hesitation, you immediately descended upon the Blood Swamp Demon Territory.

Relying on Overcoming to Subdue, you quickly eliminated the high-level foreign races here.

And your many Cultivators took advantage of the situation to enslave the low-level foreign races here.

In the 70,600th year.

"Revered Master, I discovered a spatial passage in the Earth's crust of the Blood Swamp Demon Territory that is identical to the one in the Black Gorge Demon Territory!"

Hmm? Again?

Your heart skipped a beat, and you immediately followed Ding Jia to that spatial passage.

You saw that both its geographical location and structural form were identical to those in the Black Gorge Demon Territory.

And the contents within… would probably also be the same as in the Black Gorge Demon Territory.

After a moment of consideration, you ultimately chose to step inside.

Although you knew that this might consume a Fatal Strike.

However, killing those strange people would also bring you considerable rewards.

And this kind of reward was tangible, capable of bringing you an increase in cultivation.

And as long as your cultivation was high enough, then even facing all the Cultivators in the Western Foothills Realm Cluster, you would have nothing to fear.

You traveled through this space.

Although there was no guidance from the Year Wheel Gift this time, you still successfully found the palace by memory.

And in the center of this palace was still a stone coffin!

"It really is exactly the same."

You murmured to yourself.

Then, as you stepped forward to open the stone coffin, you simultaneously released your Divine Sense, probing everything around you.

"Thump!"

"Whoosh!"

The moment a sound was heard, you immediately unleashed a Fatal Strike!

The golden light rapidly expanded against the wind, piercing through layers of the Void Realm and directly striking the approaching person!

"Who's there?!"

A loud shout came from afar.

It was only then that you clearly saw the true appearance of the newcomer.

He was dressed in white robes, wielded an Immortal sword, and was enveloped by wisps of Dao rhyme.

And upon seeing the Fatal Strike, he immediately unleashed a sword strike from a distance!

Terrifying power tore through the Void Realm, annihilating all things.

An extreme aura of death, accompanied by a sharp sword light, collided with the Fatal Strike!

"Boom!"

The terrifying explosion tore apart all the surrounding space, revealing dense spatial turbulence.

At the epicenter of the collision, the sword light and the Fatal Strike were still entangled.

They emitted a series of muffled grunts and shattering sounds.

It was only after several breaths that silence returned.

And the final result was as always.

The Fatal Strike ultimately crossed through layers of obstacles and directly plunged into the head of the white-robed Sword Cultivator!

The white-robed Sword Cultivator fell to the ground.

Like the strange young man before him, his entire body slowly dissipated, leaving only the other physical objects he carried.

You picked up these items and then raised your hand to open the stone coffin in the palace.

Inside was also a female Cultivator.

She had two wings on her back, horns on her head, and a very long black tail behind her, clearly not a Human Race Cultivator.

Unlike Su Mingyue, this foreign female Cultivator still had vitality, but her expression was vacant, staring blankly at you.
