Firstly, upgrade the treasure.
Su Yu took out the Nine Heavens Purple Lightning Hamr, then took out a ninth-grade essence and 73 strands of the Power of Law.
First, refine the ninth-grade essence into the Nine Heavens Purple Lightning Hamr, upgrading it to a ninth-grade treasure.
Then, infuse strands of the Power of Law into the just-upgraded ninth-grade treasure, continuously enhancing its quality.
The Nine Heavens Purple Lightning Hamr, after rging with the ninth-grade essence, imdiately becos a ninth-grade gem, and after continuously infusing the Power of Law, its quality and power keep increasing.
By consuming 50 points of the Power of Law in one go, the Nine Heavens Purple Lightning Hamr is promoted to a ninth-grade treasure.
Nine Heavens Purple Lightning Hamr (Ninth-grade): Treasure, a rare item that controls the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Power.
Thunder Strike: Activate the hamr to launch a strand of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, dealing 200,000 300% magic damage bonus of thunder damage to a single target, casting range 50 kiloters, mana consumption of 3000 points, with attributes: paralysis, celestial thunder demon cleansing, thunder explosion.
Nine Heavens Thunder Kill: Using the Purple Lightning Hamr to communicate with the heavens, channel for 10 seconds before launching a 1,000,000 700% magic damage bonus of thunder strike at the target, guaranteed paralysis for 3-10 seconds, casting range 100 kiloters, mana consumption of 30,000 kiloters, cooldown 15 minutes, with attributes: paralysis, celestial thunder demon cleansing, thunder explosion.
Endless Thunder Strike: Using the Purple Lightning Hamr to communicate with the heavens, channel for 60 seconds to summon a strand of Nine Heavens Purple Lightning to strike all enemies within a 75-kiloter radius of oneself, mana consumption of 150,000, cooldown 2 hours.
Paralysis: Attribute, the Power of Celestial Thunder can paralyze the target, reducing reaction ti.
Celestial Thunder Demon Cleansing: Attribute, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Power deals 100% additional damage to demons and demon spirits, ignoring 100% resistance of demons and demon spirits.
Thunder Explosion: Thunder Strike evolves into area attack, the main target explodes into countless fine lightning chains attacking all enemies within a 500-ter radius centered on the target, dealing 50% damage, this effect can be toggled on or off freely.
"Not bad, the power has increased a lot."
Under normal circumstances, the magic damage is 560,000, surpassing the other four Five Elents Thunder Skill except Gui Water Divine Thunder; even seventh-grade defense treasures can be destroyed in one strike.
After upgrading the treasure, Su Yu turned his gaze to the Dao Foundation.
He is now at the second-layer Dao Foundation, upgrading to the third-layer requires 300 billion cultivation points and 300,000 Dao deeds.
With innate bone reduction, only 210 billion cultivation points and 255,000 Dao deeds are needed to upgrade.
Dao Foundation upgrades one layer: Qi and Blood 500,000, Mana 20,000, physique 20,000, strength 30,000, magic power 20,000, physical flight speed 5000 kiloters/hour, Qi and Blood recovery 1000 points/second, mana recovery 30 points/second.
Flying sword damage 6000, attack speed 4000, sword control speed 4000 kiloters/hour.
In addition, successfully derived three new Dao techniques, one Qi Refining Heart Skill, one Sword Formulas, one Body Refining Skill.
The Body Refining Heart Skill derived the Second Primordial Spirit technique, which can use Secret Skill to tear apart the soul, nurturing a second Primordial Spirit.
The second Primordial Spirit has two refining thods, one is to shape the flesh with one’s own blood and flesh, equivalent to a second self, starting at level 1 whiteboard, can cultivate any Dao technique, can consu cultivation points and Dao deeds to enhance cultivation, eventually reaching the sa level as the main body, and still needs to undergo Celestial Tribulation at level 100.
This refining thod has the disadvantage of initially being weak and requires massive resources, starting from zero after all.
The advantage is limitless growth, essentially a second self, if the real body unfortunately perishes, the second Primordial Spirit can still live another life.
The second thod attaches the separated soul to various spiritual objects treasures, refining an avatar based on the treasure.
Its initial level depends on the quality of the treasure, the higher the quality, the higher the level. If refined based on a tenth-grade treasure, the second Primordial Spirit’s initial level is at least above 180.
If refined based on an innate immortal treasure, the second Primordial Spirit’s initial level is at least above 200, directly mastering the laws corresponding to the immortal treasure, extrely powerful.
However, although the second thod is initially strong, its growth limit is limited by the foundation.
The limit of the tenth-grade treasure cannot achieve Celestial Immortal.
There’s no problem with immortal treasures; although they also have limits, once one becos immortal, what more could they ask for?
The third second Primordial Spirit refining thod uses the body shell of a strong person for refining, for example, obtaining an Earth Immortal’s body to take over.
If one can obtain an immortal’s body for sacrifice, they imdiately gain the combat power of an immortal.
Besides the three thods above, there’s a fourth second Primordial Spirit refining thod, using innate Spirit Root or innate immortal treasures as the second Primordial Spirit. This thod not only has limitless growth like the second Primordial Spirit refined from one’s own blood and flesh but also starts at a very high initial level, incorporating the advantages of the first two thods.
Su Yu happens to have an innate immortal treasure in hand, which can refine a second Primordial Spirit initially over level 200.
However, Su Yu won’t refine it, at least not until his real body perishes will he consider the second Primordial Spirit.
The reason is simple: if the Sea-Suppressing Pearl is sacrificed to refine the second Primordial Spirit, Vast Sea will die.
After refining the second Primordial Spirit, the Sea-Suppressing Pearl will beco the body shell of the second Primordial Spirit, automatically making the second Primordial Spirit the Artifact Spirit of the Sea-Suppressing Pearl. How can Vast Sea, currently the Heavenly Dao of the Sea-Suppressing Pearl’s inner world, coexist?
A treasure cannot have two Artifact Spirits, so one has to go.
Unless a new unclaid innate immortal treasure is found.
Furthermore, if there is a second Primordial Spirit, massive resources are needed for cultivation, how much will be invested for a second Primordial Spirit over level 200?
Hence, this Dao technique is temporarily a chicken rib, unlikely to be useful at present.
Ignoring this Dao technique, Su Yu turned his gaze to the swordsmanship derived from the Ti Sword Classic—Ti Sword: Ti Stagnation.
Ti Stagnation (Dao Foundation): Sword determines target’s ti, freezing for 3-12 seconds, mana consumption 30,000, cooldown 24 hours.
To put it simply, it’s ti freeze, another divine skill.
Then, he looked at the technique derived from the Nine Extres Myriad Law Immortal Skill—Potential Overdraw (Dao Foundation).
Potential Overdraw (Dao Foundation): Overdraw potential, restore all Qi and Blood and Mana within three seconds, rapidly heal wounds and regenerate flesh, maintain half recovery speed for the next fifteen seconds, cooldown ti of 10 days.
A purely life-saving ability, nothing more to say.
It is worth ntioning that as the Dao Foundation grade improves, the effects and power of the previously derived Path Skills and Body Refining Skills will also enhance, reaching the Loose Immortal level.
After reviewing the three derived Path Skills, and resting for a while, Su Yu once again consud...350 billion cultivation points and 340,000 Dao Acts, raising the Dao Foundation to the fourth tier, equivalent to level 140.
The fourth-tier Dao Foundation did not derive any Path Skills or Swordsmanship.
The Dao Foundation increased by two tiers, consuming a total of 560 billion cultivation points and 595,000 Dao Acts, leaving 180.4 billion cultivation points and 1,380,000 Dao Acts. The cultivation points are insufficient to raise the Dao Foundation to the fifth tier.
However, he didn’t stop, instead turned his attention to other techniques.
"The Celestial Ghost Transformation Skill, this can be upgraded."
The adaptability to even transform into a monster and blend in with wild creatures is amazing, definitely worth focusing on.
The experience required for the Refined Level Transformation Skill is far less than for the Qi Refining Heart Skill. Su Yu glanced at the remaining cultivation points and Dao Acts, and began to upgrade swiftly.
billion cultivation points and 17,000 Dao Acts, raised to Dao Foundation level ten.
billion cultivation points and 24,000 Dao Acts, raised to Dao Foundation level twenty.
billion.....
In one go, consud 140 billion cultivation points and 220,000 Dao Acts, upgrading the Celestial Ghost Transformation Skill to level 150.
Celestial Ghost Transformation Skill (Refined): Level 150, Dao Foundation technique, can transform into a Celestial Ghost.
The Celestial Ghost excels in the Five Elents Flying Escape Skill, seamlessly adapting, with imnse power, Qi and Blood 2,500,000, Mana 250,000, physique 35,000, strength 55,000, speed 25,000 km/h.
Abilities: Body of Celestial Ghost, virtual-real conversion, adaptable change, Five Elents Thunder Skill, Five Elents Escape Skill, Five Elents Forbidden Skill, Five Elents Divine Gang, embodying the Five Elents.
Level 150 new derived ability: Embody the Five Elents, able to transform into the power of the Five Elents.
Su Yu’s form flickered into a Celestial Ghost, shaking his head as he examined himself, then shifted into a Fire Cloud dispersing.
Shortly after, transford from fire into a cloud of Yi Wood energy, then alternately changed into Geng tal energy, Gui Water elite.
After so contemplation, the Gui Water elite directly turned into a pool of water spilling on the ground.
After a while, reassembled into a stone, a tree, and so on.
Continuing this constant transformation, he played around for nearly an hour before reverting to human form.
"So amazing, this Transformation Skill was worth the upgrade."
In the sea, transforming into a pool of water and blending in, unless one surpassed him by a major realm, who could find him?
With this, all upgrades were completed.
Su Yu erged from the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, transford into a wisp of light smoke, and dived into the sea, swiftly flying southward.
At this mont, the Red Tide had more than a dozen days left before it ended, but his journey through the Red Tide was already concluded. He had to return to the human territory while the top experts among the Horned Demon people were occupied.
Everything proceeded smoothly. The stealth capability of the Celestial Ghost transformation was overwhelmingly strong, and the everywhere present Red Tide, being neutral, did not intercept him. It took nearly a week to traverse the Horned Demon territory to the Southeast Sea Region.
In one breath, he dashed out of the Red Tide, imdiately activated the Innate Water Escape Skill, and concealed himself in the sea, reaching South Sea Turtle Island in less than a day.
"Finally back."
Once back on Turtle Island, Su Yu proactively requested the Grand Void Mirror to reflect on himself, confirming that he had captured two Horned Demon Earth Immortals alive, successfully obtaining four major achievents, plus the previously rewarded four major achievents, holding 8 major achievents.
And an incredibly exaggerated 5.82 million rits, ranking first on the current human and Horned Demon local conflict rit leaderboard, over 2 million more than the second place.
However, this wave of conflict was not yet over; for now, it was just a temporary first place.
Having breached two Horned Demon cities, with millions of Horned Demons perishing because of him, confirming that two Earth Immortals had fallen, he had already been listed on the Horned Demons’ must-kill bounty list, aning it’s probable that he cannot return for the next five years, rendering him unable to accumulate more rits.
So whether he can secure first place in the end really depends on how others perform.
Retrieving the major achievents, Su Yu headed straight for the Turtle Island comrcial district, directly finding the military-affiliated chamber of comrce, and sold off the resources he had gained this wave.
He retained only about two million worth of supplies, mainly common alchemy and artifact refining materials, selling the rest, in total for 3.6 million gold, which was much less than expected.
But that’s normal, with such a large batch, you can’t expect retail prices.
3.6 million in cash is already a lot.
Combined with on-hand funds, he now had a total of 3.71 million gold, and about 2 million gold worth of materials.
