All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 204 Physical Ascension, Red List Bounty

Now that he had switched back to offering and possessed special forging skills, Ji Ran was no longer in a hurry.

Instead, he was pondering a question—can the idea that humans can conquer nature be realized through the soul of the Ghost Golden Sheep?
Hongwu was the foundation upon which his primordial spirit was formed. His primordial spirit also inherited the talents and skills that Hongwu possessed.

Talent is the ability to advance one's realm by fusing with a pure spiritual body.

Skills, naturally, are the power of nature to kill, the power of earth to fight dragons and snakes, and the power of man to conquer nature.

The killing intent was unleashed; he had already determined during his battle with the white-boned earth spirit that it could be triggered by the Ghost Golden Sheep.

The Earth Dance Dragon and Snake can now enlarge and materialize the primordial spirit.

However, Ji Ran sensed that this skill could not be applied to the physical body because his current body was too weak to withstand it.

If the physical body breaks through 3.99 and reaches the second-tier physical realm, that should be enough.

"Man can conquer nature"... This skill unlocks one's potential. For ordinary people, it's merely a burst of power.

But for me, it's more of a skill to unleash my life-stealing potential and permanently enhance my physical body!
However, there is a safe limit to the advancement of human determination to overcome nature—it cannot exceed the Nascent Soul realm.

Just like now, Ji Ran's physical body and primordial spirit are both at the peak of level 3. If he were to forcibly raise the level of his physical body, his primordial spirit would be unable to protect his physical body.

In short, if Ji Ran were to use "Man Will Conquer Nature" to absorb the power left behind by the stolen life within his body, his physical body might be injured and mutated!

Just like when he absorbed the power of the Mirage Scale Beast, Ji Ran grew strange armor all over his body, and his muscles became deformed and heavy.

The reason I was able to recover at that time was that my primordial spirit was superior to my physical body, and it was able to suppress the illness.

If you use it now and an error occurs, then it can't be changed.

The probability of this is extremely high, because the targets one kills are numerous and varied, and the physical strength absorbed cannot possibly be compatible with one's own body.

but……

Pfft!

Ji Ran connected with the power of the ghost golden sheep in the shrine, and his body turned into mist in front of the shrine!

This is a sign for using a shrine.

The moment Ji Ran turned into mist, everything around him vanished. Only the shrine before him remained—he had entered the illusion created by the shrine.

Ji Ran still decided to give it a try.

My primordial spirit can now control the remnant soul of Ghost Golden Sheep. If I were to use the "Man Will Conquer Heaven" technique, I wonder if I could use Ghost Golden Sheep's level 7 spirit to suppress me.

If possible, I could use Life Stealing like crazy to enhance my physical strength!
It's like opening up the path for your physical body to reach level 7!
Man can conquer heaven!

Ji Ran straightened up, took a deep breath, and suddenly unleashed his power!
Instantly!

My mind and body both exploded!

A strange power meandered through his meridians, surging continuously!
Ji Ran took out the Mind-Stabilizing Pearl again!

Increase your concentration by 50%!

This time, Ji Ran didn't make a move, but instead looked at the shrine.

creak-

The temple screen of the shrine opened, and two purple arms stretched out, then swelled!
hum!
A purple light, adorned with iridescent specks, enveloped Ji Ran like a domain!
Ji Ran's eyes lit up!
pressure!

He felt the pressure on his body!

Can!!
Having confirmed that Gui Jin Yang's primordial spirit could suppress the idea that humans can conquer nature, Ji Ran immediately drew out the Kunwu sword and began to unleash the Wind and Thunder Blade Scripture in front of the shrine!
Wind cutter!

To unleash the Wind Slash, you must mobilize all the strength in your body, engaging almost all of your muscles!
Using the power surging through his body, he continuously captured the remaining strength of the stolen life force!
A faint warmth flowed through it.

The improvement is minimal.

Ji then killed many powerful individuals, but almost all of them were demons and alchemy hunters. Their strength lay not in themselves, but in the vengeful spirits and alchemical weapons they wielded.

So they provided themselves with almost nothing.

Until, the last two breaths!

A surge of ferocious blood energy, imbued with the power of countless ferocious beasts, churned within his body like a spring!

This is a portion of the [power] gained from killing Prince Zai!
There was also a scalding aura flowing through it, which was part of his [physical functions] obtained from killing Livec!
boom!
boom! !

Ji Ran felt a surge of energy constantly surging through his heart!

Just a little bit, just a little bit close!
The last bit of Prince Zai's strength surged through his heart, like a person crashing against a blood-red gate, managing to open a crack but utterly exhausted.

Pfft!

A pair of deer antlers pierced through Ji Ran's shoulders. A tiger tail emerged from his tailbone.

Prince Zai's power originated from the shaman's devouring of wild beasts. Now that Ji Ran had fully absorbed it, it began to combine in a chaotic manner.

hum!
The spirit of the Ghost Golden Sheep suppressed the distortion, gradually eroding the abnormality.

At the same time, the power brought by Levich began to take effect! Ji Ran felt his blood start to boil!
The Prince's original power erupted once again under the heat of his blood!

boom!
The gates of the heart meridian are being pushed wider and wider!
Until it was completely pushed away!!
Boom—Bang!

Bang bang!

The next moment, Ji Ran felt his heart meridian being filled with a violent force and instantly opened up!

The body's meridians were drenched in scalding blood, and the heartbeat in the chest was like a drumbeat!
Ji Ran felt incredibly happy as his height increased to nearly 1.9 meters and a sense of confidence that he could feel in every muscle in his body!

The body ascends the steps!

At this moment, my physical strength is 4.07!

It has fully entered the second stage.

Pure physical advancement!
Ji Ran raised his hand, clenched his fist, and his muscles, like twisted ropes, slowly tensed and tightened, binding together as if they were intertwined with his bones!
The muscle strength and power are terrifying!
If my muscles before were like a limp towel soaked in water, then now they're like a towel wrung dry and twisted tightly together!

I can easily control all my muscles, and the efficiency of my physical body is several times greater than before!
Ji Ran felt that he could now withstand bullets without any problem. At the same time, his blood temperature had stabilized at around forty degrees Celsius, a result of Livech's skill improvement.

I underestimated the second tier.

The physical strength I possess now would probably be enough to smash my previous self to pieces!

If the spiritual barrier were to erupt as well, Ji Ran was confident that he would not be weak even among true Level 4 cultivators. Ji Ran sat down, adjusted his breathing slightly, and prepared to leave.

Back in reality, he needed answers to his questions, and also needed to ask the organization some questions about cultivation.

The captain previously mentioned that he had found a master for him, so even if he wasn't in the country, it would be good to ask him about cultivation.

I have two vague ideas about the future direction of my battles, and I need to find a wise senior to enlighten me.

Once the path is determined, you can proceed with your forging and improvement!
At the same time, he wanted to visit the Jia Chen Boat Tower. But he couldn't do it in his black-clad appearance; he had to enter the tower in his true form, Ji Ran.

Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous.

The image of the person carrying the niche is linked to the image of the True Lord of the Shrine.

Ji Ran's figure flickered again, and his figure materialized in the mist in front of the shrine.

"Ok?"

At that moment, Ji Ran saw four or five wisps of mist appear around his shrine and immediately smiled.

The forging function has been discovered.

"Hurry, hurry! It's right outside the boathouse!"

call!
Beside Ji Ran, a traveler, having just materialized, excitedly held up a Han sword and exclaimed, "Captain, bring men quickly! My extraordinary treasure, the Dragon-Piercing Sword, has been successfully forged three times!"

"I'm not kidding you, come quick! The forging function of this shrine is amazing!"

"This is fucking terrible!"

A cloud of mist gathered nearby, and a person held up a ring in their hand, their face almost crazed!

"Get rich, get rich!"

"Infinite Enchantment, Infinite Enchantment!"

"Damn it! Let's get to the neighborhood right now!"

"From now on, the prices of ordinary and rare-grade jewelry will skyrocket!!"

Whoosh!
The traveler immediately sprang into action and ran towards the street!

Ok?
Are low-level accessories really that valuable?

Ji Ran was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something.

That [Enchanting] seems to be a function that can transfer equipment skills.

Low-level accessories can be enchanted infinitely; if you fail, you can undo the process!
If you use it too many times and consume too much, just switch to a different accessory and keep going! It's definitely a great opportunity to make a quick buck!
However, Ji Ran was not in a hurry. On his Traveler's Mirror, both the Southern Han and Tianjin worlds were 100% complete!

They've refreshed the inventory with tons of common equipment and accessories. I just haven't been interested in them and haven't wasted my spirit essence buying them.

Besides, if it's a large amount of traveler equipment, where can it be more than the official equipment?
With your own spiritual essence and A-level merit, picking some low-level equipment with good skills is very easy.

"return."

[Zhuoxian +1 Return Point: Select your return location (Apartment, Yashan Base (not selectable), Ice City Headquarters).]

Zhuo Xian can choose between two recent return points, but the Yashan base is already two points away and cannot be chosen.

"Ice City General Bureau, Office."

[Returning to the real world, the bracelet will be connected to big data. Please choose: 1. Delete the intelligence image of this world. 2. Keep the image. The bracelet will pay rewards based on the information.]

"delete."

A feeling of surreal reality washed over him, and Ji Ran reappeared in the office of the Ice City General Bureau.

On the table lay a black metal plate the size of a soybean. This was an earpiece made using cosmic technology.

Su Su had previously told her that she would assign a dedicated liaison officer to her.

All real-world operations and inquiries can be coordinated with the Yashan base. The entire logistics department will provide intelligence and information support to the action team, on standby 24 hours a day.

Ji Ran picked up the headset, touched it gently, and it adhered to her earlobe.

Ding Dong!

A clear musical sound suddenly connected directly with the sound of cicadas!
A golden eye pattern appeared on the round disc of the black headset, much like the eye on the clairvoyant bracelet.

The next moment, a familiar female voice rang out—

"Boss, you're back!?"

"Yes."

The one speaking was Ning Yan.

brush-

Ji Ran stood up, drew back the curtains, and looked out the window. The sky was clear and bright; it had just snowed lightly yesterday, leaving everything covered in a pristine white glow.

A small snowman was also built in the yard.

"I'll come find you right away! Captain Xie and the others aren't here right now; they went to Beijing these past few days."

"Boss, you need to be careful lately."

"how?"

"The Hidden God Society's Level 3 peak members, consisting of two men and one woman, are active in Ice City, searching for your whereabouts."

"Sister Su said you're on the Hidden Gods Society's bounty list."

"Oh?"

Ji Ran looked at the clear snow scene and smiled. What a good thing!

"Could you help me find out what kind of merit it is to kill a level 3 peak member of the Hidden God Society?"

Da da da!
"Uh? Okay...okay!"

The footsteps that had reached the door paused, then turned back with a "tap tap tap".
