The boulders are jagged and angular, with a surface that is as clear and translucent as glass.

Upon closer inspection, a faint white light shimmers on it, like moonlight solidified into cream, or stardust clinging to something.

Even with the naked eye, one can tell that this thing is extraordinary.

"A meteorite from outer space, so incredibly wondrous..."

Upon seeing this, a sharp glint flashed in Wei Yuan's eyes.

The moment he stepped into this place, his true energy surged and churned like boiling water poured over snow.

The true essence, which originally required a slow and meticulous process of refinement, was now being compressed layer by layer at a speed visible to the naked eye, making it even more refined and concentrated than before.

This instant of effort is comparable to ten days of arduous cultivation.

That's completely against common sense.

This made his gaze at the meteorite even more intense.

However, he did not rush forward, but stood quietly in the rain, letting the rain wash away the still embers of the lava around the giant pit.

Water and fire clashed, white smoke billowed, casting flickering light on his face.

Only after the last wisp of earth fire had died out did he take a step.

Ten zhang... nine zhang...

As the distance drew closer, Wei Yuan felt his true energy surging faster and faster within his body.

Up to five zhang (approximately 10 meters) in length.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Click!

At the same time, it felt as if some shackles within the body had been broken.

He had only recently broken through to the Grandmaster realm, yet he had jumped from the early stage to the middle stage!

Sensing the surging true energy in his dantian, the last glimmer of clarity in Wei Yuan's eyes was completely consumed by ecstasy and greed.

"This stone is mine..."

His whispers were sharp as blades, and the terrifying killing intent emanating from him seemed capable of cleaving through the rain.

"Whoever dares to covet it, I will kill them!!"

As he spoke, he continued forward.

The true energy within his body was boiling, surging and surging.

When he reached the boulder, his cultivation had broken through the barrier and reached the late stage of Grandmaster, only one step away from the perfect realm.

Wei Yuan reached out and touched the surface of the meteorite.

The touch was not the scorching heat one might imagine, but rather a bone-chilling cold that spread along the fingertips, as if freezing one's blood and energy.

He suddenly exerted force with his five fingers, unleashing a terrifying power capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, causing the ground beneath him to crack.

However, the boulder remained completely still, as stable as an ancient mountain.

The true essence poured in was like a clay ox entering the sea, completely swallowed up by the cold, deathly silence.

A strange light flashed in Wei Yuan's eyes, but he stopped trying in vain.

He immediately sat down cross-legged, pressed himself against the meteorite, and directly used the strange aura emanating from this object to circulate his qi and enter a state of cultivation.

He wanted to use this opportunity to solidify his cultivation; perhaps, he could even reach the legendary realm of a human immortal who could shatter the void.

...

The force of this falling meteorite was extremely terrifying.

Countless martial arts masters and various factions have noticed this change.

They all rushed towards this place.

Strange celestial phenomena must indicate the birth of an extraordinary treasure.

At the same time, it was tens of thousands of miles away from the State of Wei.

On the summit of a majestic mountain stood a humanoid monster a hundred feet tall, its body covered in coarse, black fur, with several tattered banners stuck in its back, fluttering in the wind.

Its appearance is ferocious like a ghost, and its body reeks of a foul stench.

It suddenly raised its head, its blood-red eyes flashing like lightning, and shot towards the distance.

"Hmm? Such a strange phenomenon, where is this Wei territory?"

Before the words were even finished, the demon's body suddenly spun around, transforming into a pitch-black hurricane that blotted out the sky, and disappeared from the spot.

……

Deep in the Black Mountains.

The place where the meteorite once stood has now been transformed into a slaughterhouse of carnage.

Limbs and severed arms lay scattered everywhere, and the bodies were torn apart, their deaths gruesome.

Among them were martial artists in long robes and elite soldiers of the Wei Kingdom clad in black standard armor.

At this moment, they lay on the ground like ripped-together dolls.

"Wei Yuan! Such a divine object is not something you can possess alone! Obey and retreat, and you may still save your life!"

A sharp shout broke the silence.

The speaker was a fair-skinned, beardless middle-aged man whose true energy surged like a tide, and whose robes fluttered without wind. He was clearly a top expert whose skill had reached the level of a Grandmaster.

"You want to steal my meteorite crystal?"

Wei Yuan slowly raised his head, his face stained with blood, his expression ferocious like a demon in prison, his eyes blazing with bloodlust, almost overflowing.

"Go ahead and try! Let me see just how strong this Sword Demon, who is renowned throughout the martial world, really is!"

Wei Yuan grinned, his white teeth stained with blood, looking utterly ferocious.

"Since you are determined to die, then I will grant your wish!"

Liu Canyun, known as the 'Sword Demon,' suddenly turned cold, and a murderous aura spread out as if it were a tangible thing.

He pointed his fingers like a sword, and the long sword behind him hummed as it suddenly unsheathed and appeared in his hand. With a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of azure light, his sword energy tearing through the air and emitting a piercing shriek as he aimed straight for Wei Yuan's throat.

Before the sword even arrived, its chilling sword intent had already caused countless fine marks to appear on the surrounding ground.

Faced with this earth-shattering sword strike, Wei Yuan neither dodged nor evaded, but instead stepped forward and charged!
The iron hammers in his hands, which seemed incredibly heavy, were now swung by him as light as feathers, and he smashed them fiercely against the sword light.

--clang!!!

A deafening clang of metal clashing rang out!
The moment the sword energy collided with the giant hammer, the seemingly indestructible cyan sword rainbow shattered inch by inch like glass.

Liu Canyun's expression changed drastically. He felt an irresistible, immense force coming through the sword. His hand split open instantly, and the sword almost slipped from his grasp.

He tried to change tactics and retreat, but it was too late.

Wei Yuan pressed his advantage relentlessly, his figure moving like a ghost as he pressed forward once more, unleashing his second hammer blow with the force of wind and thunder!

This hammer blow was simple and brutal, yet it was so fast that it was beyond the reach of the eye, filled with countless hammer shadows.

Liu Canyun only had time to parry with his sword.

"Oh!"

This time, it wasn't the clang of metal against metal, but a dull, teeth-grinding sound of bones cracking.

The longsword bent into an eerie arc and then flew out of my hand.

The hammer struck Liu Canyun's chest without any fancy moves.

He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, the blood spurting from his mouth drawing a tragic arc in the air.

When it crashed heavily to the ground, the chest of this renowned sword demon had completely collapsed, and all his internal organs were shattered.

His eyes were wide open, staring intently at the god-like yet demonic figure, his eyes still filled with disbelief, horror, and despair, before he finally breathed his last.

Wei Yuan dragged the still-dripping giant hammer slowly to the corpse, his voice hoarse as if iron were grinding against stone:
"Sword Demon? It's nothing but a pile of rotten flesh."

Wei Yuan's lips curled into a wide grin, revealing an undisguised sneer.

His aura suddenly erupted, like a volcanic eruption, rising uncontrollably and wildly!

The immense true energy transformed into visible ripples that spread outwards, stirring up the dust and pebbles scattered across the ground.

Lifted by this force, his body slowly floated up, his feet suddenly three feet off the ground!
"This is... the realm of immortals?"

Wei Yuan closed his eyes slightly, sensing the earth-shaking transformation within his body. His true essence surged like a river, and his flesh and blood contained unprecedented power.

Upon realizing this, his sinister grin grew even more blatant and unrestrained.

Immortal!

He lived for over a thousand years, witnessing the rise and fall of dynasties and the cycle of life.

Those who reach this level can rival an entire nation with their own strength!
"Hehe, I really didn't expect that such a rare treasure could appear in such a remote place!"

A hoarse, deep voice suddenly rang out, as if drilling directly into my mind.

"Who?!"

Wei Yuan's brows furrowed sharply, his cold gaze sweeping across the surroundings like lightning, but he could not find the slightest trace.

next moment.

The sky suddenly darkened!

It wasn't dark clouds obscuring the sun, but rather an enormous shadow that completely enveloped the entire mountain.

Wei Yuan's body stiffened abruptly, and he looked up abruptly.

A gigantic claw, as large as a mountain, covered the sky, its fur as thick as a forest, its lines as ancient as ravines, carrying a suffocating aura of savagery, and it slashed down! "Patrol the mountain... Demon King!"

Wei Yuan's pupils constricted, and he was horrified and speechless.

As a member of the Great Wei royal family, he knew these secrets that ordinary people did not know from a young age.

In this world, whenever a martial artist breaks through to the Grandmaster realm, it inevitably attracts the 'Mountain Patrol Demon King' to descend and annihilate the newly promoted Human Immortal.

This is why there has never been a living immortal who has lived for a thousand years.

He had thought it was just a mythical legend, but he never expected to experience it firsthand today!

"I have become an immortal! Who can kill me?!"

The shock in his heart was instantly replaced by violence, and the immortal energy in Wei Yuan's body suddenly erupted!

He rose from the ground, his giant hammer gleaming with dark light, gathering all his life's cultivation, transforming into a massive hammer shadow that tore through the sky, fiercely meeting the heaven-covering claw!

"Break for me!!!"

boom--! ! !
There was no earth-shattering roar at the moment the hammer shadow collided with the giant claw.

There was a muffled "thud".

Like a boulder crushing an insect egg.

The hammer shadow, which had gathered the full power of Wei Yuan, the human immortal, instantly disintegrated. The giant claw, without stopping, crashed down with an irresistible force of heaven and earth!

The earth shook violently, and smoke and dust billowed into the sky.

As the dust settled, a deep claw mark was clearly visible on the flat ground, covering the entire hilltop.

In the very center of the claw print, only a blurry pool of flesh and blood remained, barely outlining the shape of a human figure.

It was none other than Wei Yuan, who had been so arrogant and domineering just moments before.

This newly ascended immortal was crushed into mincemeat before he could even catch a single claw!
After doing all this, the patrolling demon king looked down at the meteorite crystal below.

Its location was also within the range of its claw, yet it suffered no damage.

Compared to Wei Yuan, his senses were even stronger; he could clearly perceive the abnormality of his own demonic energy.

"Good baby!"

Just as it was about to reach out and grab it.

——Crack!
A crisp cracking sound, like a thunderclap from the heavens, suddenly rang out.

The seemingly indestructible meteorite crystal, which had withstood the attack of the beast's claws, now had a straight crack running from top to bottom!

From within the crack, countless rays of platinum light burst forth, as if a great sun had been forcibly imprisoned within, about to break free.

next moment,
Platinum light surged forth like a tidal wave, and a majestic figure slowly rose from the core of the light.

The instant his gaze fell upon that figure,

An indescribable and irresistible terrifying pressure, as if the entire sky had collapsed, crashed down!
This prevented them from even considering resistance.

The mountain patrol demon king, who could kill a human immortal with a single move, felt as insignificant as a firefly compared to the bright moon in the face of this aura!

It wanted to raise its head and look directly at the other, but it couldn't do it at all; every piece of flesh and bone in its body was groaning under the unbearable burden.

This person seems even more powerful than the three kings! He doesn't have the aura of those bald monks either. Could he really be an immortal?

Think of this.

It no longer cared about anything else.

"This little demon was blind and has offended you greatly. Immortal, please forgive me... please spare my life..."

The desperate pleas for mercy were abruptly cut off as soon as they began.

The mountain-patrolling demon king, which blotted out the sky, suddenly shattered into pieces without warning.

As if erased from the world by some invisible force, only a scream filled with extreme terror and pain remained, echoing for a long time in the empty mountains.

The demonic aura that filled the sky dissipated.

In place, at the meteorite site.

The light gradually faded, slowly revealing one of the figures.

He was a naked young man with cascading black hair, fair and flawless skin, and a perfect face.

Especially his eyes, which were blood-red, as if they contained an ancient, icy chill.

He gently stretched his body, his joints making a series of crisp sounds, as if a newborn god was adapting to this world.

"Finally... out."

The shadows whispered.

Before he finished speaking, a faint light flashed around him.

A pristine white robe had quietly covered his body, further accentuating his ethereal气质 (qi zhi - refined and elegant demeanor).

This person was none other than Hu Qi.

"scarlet!"

Hu Qi glanced around and his mind stirred slightly.

[Owner: Hu Qi]

[Status: Abnormal △ (Under the seal of the Void Sea's will power)]

[Levels of Life: True Spirit]

[Bloodline: Taiyu Holding a Serpent]

[Talents: Soul Devouring, Vortex of Origin, Eye of Illusion, Ring of Eternity]

[Skill: Divine Limit Heart Technique △ (True Spirit Chapter 1: Reflection Realm) Trait: Light of True Spirit]

……

[Modified value: 180 units (51%)]

The panel has changed quite a bit compared to before, the most obvious change being that it is much simpler.

The "Supernatural Powers" section has disappeared.

This is because some of the supernatural abilities mentioned are not considered supernatural abilities at all for Hu Qi, who has now reached the True Spirit level; they are merely things he can easily acquire.

In addition, the original Twisted Light in the talent section has disappeared, and it has been replaced by a talent called Vortex of Origin.

This talent is based on the Twisted Light, and is an enhanced version of the True Spirit Technique.

The Innate True Spirit Technique is the strongest skill that a True Spirit can comprehend.

This vortex of origin is extremely unpredictable.

It can truly distort and alter everything.

In addition, his other talents also increased.

For example, the Eternal Ring.

Since Hu Qi stepped into the True Spirit level, it has been completely solidified, transforming into an indestructible blood-locking barrier.

Even if he is completely annihilated, he can return from nothingness in the next instant, resurrected in full strength, without losing any of his power.

This is the fundamental reason why he was able to survive after falling into the Void Sea.

Even the will of the Void Sea could not do anything to him and could only seal him here.

Thinking of this, Hu Qi couldn't help but recall the information he had gained when he advanced to the True Spirit level.

Above the True Spirit level, there is another realm, the true ultimate, named Origin Beginning.

It is the origin of all things, transcending all rules and laws; with a single thought, it can create everything.

He is the creator of everything.

Neither the Heavenly Dao of the Mountain and Sea Realm nor the Will of the Void Sea, in essence, is a true primordial realm.

Rather, it belongs to the second realm of True Spirit.

The True Spirit level is divided into two realms.

The first is the Realm of Reflection, where the true spirit can clearly reflect the fundamental laws of the universe as if it were a clear mirror. It is no longer passively followed, but can clearly perceive and intervene to a limited extent.

To see the origin is like looking at the lines on one's palm.

This is Hu Qi's current realm, and it is also the level at which all True Spirits are located.

The second stage is the Transformation Realm, where the true spirit's own form of existence is completely transformed.

From the reflector to existence itself.

It is itself a flowing, living source, capable of nurturing and creating.

It is the world itself.

This is also the level at which the Will of the Void Sea and the Heavenly Dao of the Mountain and Sea Realm reside.

Of course, if you really compare them, they are top-tier even in the Origin Transformation Realm, and can be considered as half-step pseudo-Primordial Realm.

If I had to describe it.

The Dao Lord is equivalent to an ordinary game administrator, while the True Spirit Level First Realm, Yingyuan Realm, is the owner of the highest game privileges.

The second realm of True Spirit, the Origin Realm, is equivalent to the game itself; it can create and control everything within the game.

As for the Primal Realm, it is the creator of the game itself, the giver of its existence. The two are not the same concept at all, and do not exist in the same dimension.

And this is the true ultimate end. (End of Chapter)
