I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 73, Encountering a Peak Commander

The hollow fruit melted in his mouth, and before Jiang Shang could even savor it properly, it was already swallowed, leaving only the fruity aroma in his mouth.

"It tastes a bit like strawberry!" Jiang Shang smacked his lips, savoring the flavor.

Soon, a surge of energy erupted from his stomach, continuously washing over Jiang Shang's body. Finally, streams of energy converged in his dantian and rushed towards his head.

Jiang Shang was not alarmed. He had experienced this kind of energy rush to his head before when he absorbed the spirit seed like an idiot.

All I need to do is guide this energy into the stardust of the spatial system within the spiritual universe.

When the energy of the Fallen Fruit fully entered the spiritual universe, the space-system star particles, which had been eagerly awaiting their meal, no longer suppressed themselves and rushed forward like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.

Jiang Shang, who had transformed into the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, was already quite adept at assisting in breakthroughs.

He casually gathered all the space-system planets that had already absorbed energy together, circling them end to end to form a ring.

Immediately, Jiang Shang extracted the magical energy from the lightning nebula into his hands, transforming it into streaks of azure lightning.

【Langxiao Yundao Thunder】!

This technique, known as Divine Thunder, was a method that Jiang Shang comprehended from the halo behind the head of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor during his visualization practice. This technique focuses on refining one's foundation and nurturing one's origin, making it ideal for breaking through realms.

Just then, after Jiang Shang began cultivating and meditating, the energy of each star system increased day by day, and the thick barriers he broke through became more and more solid.

This divine thunder was a lifesaver in my immediate crisis.

Jiang Shang threw the Langxiao Divine Thunder in his hand into the spiritual universe.

Instantly, the azure-blue thunderbolt transformed into a rolling thundercloud, permeating the spiritual world.

The azure-blue divine lightning contrasted sharply with the dark purple thunderclouds, and streaks of menacing lightning began to weave through the thunderclouds.

"BOOM!!"

With the support of magical energy, the Langxiao Tribulation was finally completed, and a bolt of azure lightning as thick as a bucket slammed into the space-type stardust.

At the same time, the space planet also unleashed its accumulated magical energy onto the edge of the stardust.

The hazy light curtain shrouding the space-based stardust began to tremble and shatter under the combined attack of thunder and magical energy.

A violent mental backlash crashed into Jiang Shang's mind, but the impact that had been incredibly painful at the initial stage seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.

The experience suddenly dropped from the excruciating pain of childbirth to the pain of being brutally beaten with a stick.

Although it hurts, I can now face it without flinching.

Finally, under the combined attack from within and without, the barrier surrounding the stardust shattered completely, and the space-system star particles that broke through the imprisoning barrier began to expand rapidly in the spiritual universe.

The blazing silver light, like a supernova explosion, surged unrestrainedly outward from the location of the space-system stardust, filling Jiang Shang's mental universe at top speed.

Silvery-white stars, riding on dazzling light, race through the spiritual universe, like creators in their own territory.

No longer are they just tiny specks of stardust in a corner, like fireflies; they have created a cloud-like constellation, each star brimming with brilliance, shining brightly in unison!

Stardust transformed into nebulae!

Forty-nine silvery-white stars danced and swirled within their own nebula, a dazzling sight.

Looking at the scene before him, Jiang Shang was also excited. He had reached the intermediate level of dual-elemental cultivation!

As the most prestigious space-type cultivator in the entire series, the higher their cultivation level, the more powerful they become.

Jiang Shang was already incredibly envious of the mere thought of teleportation; who wouldn't want to travel to the ends of the earth with a single step and explore the world with a single thought?

Especially the Star-Picking Great Handprint we just saw, it's clear that even the lowest level requires a high level of cultivation to activate.

My current cultivation level is still a bit lacking; when will I be able to enjoy the pie in the sky painted by the ancients?

[Shrink mountains, seize the sun and moon, manipulate the universe!]

This pie in the sky looks so tempting, it makes my mouth water!

Suddenly, a massive surge of spiritual energy surged from the spatial nebula, permeating Jiang Shang's soul.

This propelled his spiritual power forward by leaps and bounds, allowing him to advance further in the third realm of cultivation and get closer to the fourth realm.

"This feeling!" Jiang Shang opened his silvery eyes, stared at the empty space in front of him, and his gaze sharpened.

The air in front of him transformed into a solid, thick wall, standing horizontally before Jiang Shang.

Jiang Shang carefully sensed the thickness of the invisible wall and found that it was actually a meter thick!

With such a thickness, even a demon of the Great General level would have to exert considerable effort to break through it.

Just as Jiang Shang was about to experiment with space-based skills again, a deep tiger's roar came from outside the side hall.

"Roar~~~~~~~!"

The light at the entrance was gradually blocked by a huge object.

Jiang Shang looked up at the side hall's main gate and saw a huge tiger's head peering inside.

Its majestic golden fur fluttered in the dry wind, and the black, gleaming "king" character on its forehead proclaimed its domineering status. Its eyes, as big as basketballs, stared straight at Jiang Shang, who sat there.

"Holy crap, where did this tiger come from?!"

Feeling uneasy under his intense gaze, Jiang Shang felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice-cold water from head to toe in the dreary weather, his heart instantly frozen.

"Gulp~~!"

A clear sound of swallowing saliva echoed in the quiet side hall.

His body was stiff, so he could only glance to the side out of the corner of his eye and saw that the captain and the others were all sitting cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed, cultivating. On the ground were small boxes that looked like the empty fruit that Jiang Shang had taken.

It seems that after they had distributed the monarch's armor, they saw Jiang Shang eating the Empty Fruit to cultivate, so they all ate it too.

"Brothers, now is not the time to cultivate! The demons have already come knocking on our door, wake up!" Jiang Shang silently cried out in his heart. Under the terrifying pressure of the golden tiger's aura, even he, who already possessed the physique of a warrior general, was completely unable to move.

This isn't psychological suppression; it's pure hierarchical suppression!

When Jiang Shang opened his eyes, his silver eyes were already open. When he looked at the tiger demon, he could clearly see the extent of the demon's fluctuations. Those fluctuations were even larger than those of the Wind Nightmare Commander back then.

Judging solely from its aura, this demon is definitely a leader-level demon, a demon at the peak of the leader level.

The Silver Withered Demon Tree in the courtyard would probably be instantly killed by the Golden Tiger Demon in a single encounter!

It is important to know that among demons, the higher the level, the greater the difference between the smaller levels.

The incomplete Azure Dragon, a mid-level emperor, could easily kill ordinary emperors, and even sub-emperors could only be its playthings. Only the Cold-Eyed Demon God, who was also a mid-level emperor, could fight it on equal terms.

This demon, who was at the peak of his power, was three whole minor levels below the Silver Withered Demon Tree. If he wanted, he could easily kill everyone in this side hall.
