Chapter 500: Chapter 480: Cultivation Technique Perfection

All they could say was that they’d had bad luck back then, running into the Celestial Calamity Flame Dragon. It was one of the most powerful Tenth-Level Calamity Beasts.

This experience had worried all the higher-ups for some time.

Now, the appearance of the Desert Giant Lizard also proved that Tenth-Level Calamity Beasts weren’t as powerful as they had imagined.

If the Desert Giant Lizard represented the normal standard for a Tenth-Level Calamity Beast, then they could breathe a sigh of relief.

But no matter how weak, it was still a Tenth-Level Calamity Beast. Ordinary Martial Artists stood no chance against it.

After the meeting ended, everyone left with heavy hearts.

Soon, only the King of Mountains and Rivers and five others remained in the conference room.

Celestial Blade Liy Qifeng placed both hands on the table, his expression grim as he said:

"I have a feeling that the other Tenth-Level Calamity Beasts will begin to appear one after another."

"We Ninth Realm Martial Artists must also become stronger."

"After consuming the flesh and blood of the Celestial Calamity Flame Dragon, I can clearly feel my body undergoing a transformation."

"Emperor Red, Overlord, Sword Emperor, Cyan Immortal, Elder Huo—if you all can break through,"

"then our Xia Country won’t have to fear an invasion of Tenth-Level Calamity Beasts."

The King of Mountains and Rivers shook his head. "I’m already old. I can only rely on you young people."

The North River Sword King shook his head. "Elder Huo, you are one of the top five experts in Xia Country. Our country still needs you very much."

The strongest expert in Xia Country was Emperor Red, who was also the strongest in the world. He founded the Red Dome Martial Arts Dojo and the Azure Sky Martial Arts Academy.

Overlord was recognized as Xia Country’s second-strongest expert, and he founded the Obsidian Martial Arts Dojo.

The Sword Emperor and Cyan Immortal were husband and wife, and they jointly founded the Chongming Martial Arts Dojo.

These four were acknowledged as the strongest in Xia Country, while the King of Mountains and Rivers was ranked fifth. He hadn’t founded his own faction, instead joining the Red Dome Martial Arts Dojo.

The five of them were Xia Country’s most elite experts. If a Tenth-Level Calamity Beast appeared, one of them had to step up and face it.

Otherwise, there was no guarantee they could kill a Tenth-Level Calamity Beast.

It was highly likely that a Ninth Realm Martial Artist would be sacrificed.

The King of Mountains and Rivers knew this. After a few brief words, he left the conference room, entered his own Martial Arts Room, and began his Cultivation.

...

「10:00 PM, Villa 66, Imperial View Mansion District.」

Inside the Martial Arts Room, Lin Qi was looking at the endless discussions on the forums.

Every group chat he was in was discussing the Tenth-Level Calamity Beast.

Even though it was already 10:00 PM, Lin Qi could sense the worry in everyone’s tone from their messages.

He couldn’t help but worry about the future of Blue Star.

The Calamity Beast invasion was becoming more and more severe, leaving countries around the world overwhelmed.

Smaller countries were on the brink of annihilation.

In the shadows, the [Insect Race] lurked, assassinating talented individuals.

Now, a Tenth-Level Calamity Beast had appeared, and on its very first day, a Ninth Realm Martial Artist had already been sacrificed.

’I have to get stronger as quickly as possible.’

’Even if there is no Tenth Realm yet, I believe that once I break through to the Ninth Realm, my Talent will be enough to give me the Combat Power to slay a Tenth-Level Calamity Beast.’

Thinking of this, he put down his phone and took a bottle of purple liquid—Soul Water—from his safe.

GLUG~

After downing the Soul Water in one gulp, he took out the Blue Scroll, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating the Spiritual Power Technique.

To break through to the Seventh Realm Blood Exchange, his Spiritual Power had to break through first.

And with his top-level Spirit Talent, he had yet to encounter a bottleneck.

Today was the perfect time. It was time to push his Spiritual Power to the Seventh Realm.

WHOOSH!!

His will activated the Sixth-Level Calamity Beasts within the Blue Scroll, and a golden beam of light instantly shot into his consciousness.

ROAR~

AWOO~

One Sixth-Level Calamity Beast after another filled every corner, and over a thousand of them converged into a calamitous tsunami.

AWOO~

Lin Qi instantly visualized the Sixth-Level Calamity Beasts and transformed himself into a Golden Giant Wolf, its body the size of a small hill and covered in golden fur.

He controlled its body as a cool sensation transformed into a stream of golden power that flowed endlessly into it.

The aura of the Golden Giant Wolf grew stronger and stronger.

The Soul Water was taking effect, making Lin Qi’s consciousness feel exceptionally active.

With the appearance of the Golden Giant Wolf, the battle was about to erupt.

BANG! BANG!!

The Golden Giant Wolf was the first to attack, lunging forward like a ball of golden fire, its eyes filled with killing intent.

It struck decisively, without a hint of hesitation, swiping out with a paw the size of a steel plate.

Its sharp claws, like spikes honed countless times, pierced the air and viciously tore through the neck of the nearest Iron-Backed War Bear.

Although they were all products of visualization, they still followed the physical rules of reality.

Once its neck was pierced, it would die.

But the wolf itself was different. As the Iron-Backed War Bear swiped at it in its death throes, a large chunk of fur and flesh was torn away.

Then, it healed instantly and continued fighting, the pain vanishing in a flash.

In this fierce battle, it possessed a super-strong Healing Ability and limitless stamina.

Faced with a thousand Sixth-Level Calamity Beasts, a real Golden Giant Wolf would have been devoured in an instant.

But in the void of his Consciousness Space, it was a different story. It could take on all one thousand of them.

Lin Qi threw himself completely into the mental confrontation. His mind churned and clashed, tempering his formless Spiritual Power.

The gray, misty mass that represented his Spiritual Power was still expanding, and it had begun to slowly rotate.

Just like a rotating planet, whereas before it had been completely still.

Now, having expanded to a certain point, it began to change. As it rotated on its own, its volume continued to swell.

It was like an inflating balloon, growing larger and larger with no limit in sight.

Lin Qi found this change to be normal.

The Spiritual Power Technique, the Thousand Calamities Atlas, recorded that when a Martial Artist’s Spiritual Power was on the verge of breaking through to the Seventh Realm, the gray, misty mass representing it would continue to expand.

The Consciousness Space was boundless, with no end in sight.

Even the most powerful [Spirit] Adepts could never hope to fill their Consciousness Space with their Spiritual Power.

AWOO~

The Golden Giant Wolf continued its slaughter of the other Calamity Beasts. With every Sixth-Level Calamity Beast it killed, Lin Qi felt his Spiritual Power increase by a small amount.

[You have consumed Soul Water, cultivated the Spiritual Power Technique "Thousand Calamities Atlas," and battled a thousand Sixth-Level Calamity Beasts. Spiritual Power +1, Spiritual Power +0.5, Spiritual Power +1, Spiritual Power +0.5]

...

After an hour, Lin Qi could feel that his Spiritual Power had improved tremendously.

But it wasn’t enough. The fierce slaughter in his Consciousness Space raged on.

It was like grinding an inkstone—a slow and steady process. It would only end when he had killed all the Sixth-Level Calamity Beasts.

AWOO~

Lin Qi steeled his resolve, and as the Golden Giant Wolf, he went on a frenzied killing spree.

One Sixth-Level Calamity Beast after another fell.

500... 600... 700... 800...

Before he knew it, only the last 100 remained.

Lin Qi was starting to feel exhausted, but strands of power continued to flow into his Spirit.

The Soul Water was still taking effect.

But soon, its effects were completely depleted.

Only 20 Sixth-Level Calamity Beasts were left.

’Almost there!’

Lin Qi clenched his jaw, his eyes shut tight. Beads of sweat the size of beans formed on his forehead and dripped to the floor.
