Chapter 810
New Feature: Devouring!
That night, it was cold.
Jiang Ning stood in the backyard, his eyes bright and clearly visible in the darkness.
[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique+ (Perfect 10000/10000)
Looking at his panel, he took a deep breath, and then a thought struck him.
On the panel, the energy points bar jumped rapidly, consuming 10,000 points in an instant.
hum-
A deep, muffled whale-like sound came from within him.
The voice was powerful and ancient.
The sound came from the depths of his dantian, from his bones and muscles, and from the simultaneous vibration of every inch of his qi and blood.
It felt as if an ancient, dormant whale was awakening within my body.
next moment.
The air around me suddenly froze, then swirled wildly.
Dust and stones flew up in the courtyard, and a series of snapping sounds came from the low-lying green bamboo.
Leaves and dust mingled together and gathered toward him.
At this moment, he became the center of the cyclone, and it seemed as if he had become the center of this world.
He felt that as the suction force within his body erupted, the remaining moisture, primordial energy, and thin spiritual energy in the courtyard, even the chill of the night, all converged towards him like rivers flowing into the sea.
boom--
A series of booming sounds emanated from within his body.
The body is stretching, and the pores are opening up.
Skin, muscles, bones, and internal organs are now undergoing the scouring and tempering of immense power.
He could clearly feel his physique strengthening at a slow but steady pace.
The devouring power originating from its belly grows ever stronger, seemingly capable of encompassing mountains and seas.
After a while.
He opened his eyes.
[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique (One-time limit 38/20000) (Trait: Whale Swallow (Dark Purple))
【Whale Swallowing (Dark Purple)】: To devour all things and make them one’s own.
"Absorb all things and make them your own!"
Looking at the eight-character explanation on the panel, he seemed to be deep in thought.
Then, his gaze fell on the iron box in front of him.
After an afternoon and a night, five of the nine squares in the iron box were empty.
Less than half of the supplies remain.
Looking at one of the squares, he raised his hand and grabbed a hard, brick-like blue stone, which landed in his hand.
This is Spirit Crystal Jade.
Spirit Crystal Jade is originally a spirit crystal nurtured in spirit crystal veins.
In ancient times, these mineral veins were found all over the world, from north to south.
As the environment changed, the spirit crystal veins degenerated, and the existence of spirit crystals also changed, degenerating into a type of jade.
This jade was the spirit crystal jade he bought.
A piece of top-quality spirit crystal jade.
In ancient times, those were top-grade spirit crystals mined from spirit crystal veins.
It is the most important cultivation resource in the immortal cultivation system.
Now that it has degenerated, it no longer serves the purpose it did in that era, and its price has plummeted.
It's not expensive for him now.
Having lost its active properties, the solidified spirit crystal jade is of little practical use and value to ordinary martial artists.
But when Jiang Ning saw it during the day, he bought some.
He believed that the Black Dragon Devouring Whale Technique's ability to devour whales would allow him to absorb the energy deposited within the Spirit Crystal Jade.
He closed his five fingers and held the jade-like, cool-to-the-touch spirit crystal in his palm.
With a slight thought, the [Whale Devouring] trait, which he had just gained from the breakthrough, started to operate spontaneously.
A powerful suction force erupted from the palm of his hand.
In an instant, he felt a fine, clear stream burst forth from the spirit crystal jade in his hand, and countless strands of clear stream flowed into his body through the pores of his palm.
Wherever the clear stream flowed, he immediately felt his cell activity increase, and his muscles and bones became more resilient.
In just a short while, the spirit crystal jade became dull and lifeless at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In an instant, the turquoise color disappeared, leaving only an old gray.
He could also feel that the spirit crystal jade in his hand had completely become like an ordinary rock, with nothing special about it anymore.
"Try again!" he thought to himself.
Then he grabbed a piece of spirit crystal jade and threw it directly into his mouth.
Compared to the Yangyan Iron consumed during the day, the Lingjing Jade is undoubtedly much more straightforward.
With two crunching sounds, he bit the spirit crystal jade into pieces and then swallowed it whole.
next moment.
The suction force in the abdomen suddenly burst forth.
In the blink of an eye, the stone in his stomach disappeared, and the spirit crystal jade he had swallowed could no longer be found to have any trace of its existence.
A surge of energy erupted within him, flowing into his body to replenish the energy he had expended during his previous training.
"As expected, swallowing it whole is the only way to unleash the full potential of its swallowing ability!"
Feeling the changes within his body, he nodded secretly.
He then grabbed pieces of spirit crystal jade, kept throwing them into his mouth, chewing and swallowing them.
A moment later.
The spirit crystal jade in the iron box all went into his stomach.
At this moment, he felt that his body had been replenished from its previous depletion, and his physical condition had returned to its peak.
The body's vital energy overflows and flows everywhere.
If the pores on the whole body are not sealed, they will inevitably overflow from the pores.
After a brief period of exploration, he gained a better understanding of the characteristics of whale swallowing.
The "whale-swallowing" characteristic can be seen as an evolved version of the Black Dragon's Whale-Swallowing Skill's ability to devour whales.
Having this characteristic enhanced his original ability to "devour external objects and refine them for his own use".
This enhancement is a comprehensive improvement in both the speed of absorption and the efficiency of extraction.
The types of things that can be consumed have also been improved.
The primordial energy of heaven and earth, mineral deposits, and the precipitated spiritual essence within solidified spiritual jade can all be absorbed and transformed.
He then entered into meditation again.
Once the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique was activated, he felt the immense power of this force, far surpassing what he had experienced before his breakthrough.
He immediately stopped his practice.
He opened his eyes and clenched his fist.
crackling-
His entire body resonated with energy, and he felt his physique become stronger, with his power significantly increased compared to before.
"The Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier martial art!"
He sighed inwardly.
Before reaching perfection, the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique did have a certain effect on enhancing his physique.
But that effect was negligible compared to his original strength.
The so-called enhancement is negligible.
After achieving perfection, everything changes drastically after a breakthrough.
The strength of his physique was palpable.
The increase in strength is also extremely obvious.
Compared to before, his physique has improved by about 10%.
Although Yicheng may not seem strong.
But what level of physical fitness does he have now?
His Vajra Indestructible Body, which broke through limits five times, made him realize that his physical body could be considered a saint.
In his battle with Chen Canghai, he was unable to display the power of a first-grade Hunyuan Domain, but he easily suppressed Chen Canghai with only his physical strength.
Even a 10% improvement is an extremely exaggerated improvement.
He then glanced at the remaining resources in the box in front of him.
With surplus grain at home, he felt no anxiety whatsoever.
During the day, I bought a total of ten boxes of cultivation supplies from Wanhua Tower.
We haven't even finished one box yet.
Moreover, there are still several powerful sects within Guangning Prefecture waiting for him to wipe them out.
The Immortal Crossing Gate and the Tide-Born Pavilion were just the beginning; the spoils from subsequent raids would continue to flow to him.
The accumulated wealth of any sect with hundreds of years of history should not be underestimated.
He then glanced at the panel.
[Source Energy]: 727788
The breakthrough just now consumed 10,000 points, and now I have over 720,000 left. My gaze shifted downwards again.
[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique (One-time limit 38/20000) (Trait: Whale Swallow (Dark Purple))
After closing the panel, he immediately looked up again.
Although the sky was covered with dark clouds and the bright moon was obscured by the clouds, he could sense that it was still early.
next moment.
He calmed his mind and began to practice the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique.
As a powerful force rose from his abdomen, it was like a dragon swimming freely, no longer restrained, moving freely through his muscles, bones, flesh, and skin.
Each swim drew away a large amount of vital energy, causing his physical condition to decline.
But at the same time, he also felt that his muscles, bones, flesh, and skin were all being tempered by this force.
It is different from the Vajra Indestructible Body.
The power of the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique is all-encompassing.
Unlike the Vajra Indestructible Body, which focuses on the body surface and physical defense.
"I definitely made the right choice!" He felt a surge of excitement as he felt the feedback from his body.
When the physical body is strengthened, the essence and blood are enhanced.
When one is physically strong, both one's vital energy and spirit are also strong.
The improvement of essence, energy, and spirit increases the efficiency with which his body can gather divine power.
[Divine Power]: 11/8788
His mind was scattered, and a section of the panel flashed before his eyes.
He has now accumulated an eleventh strand of divine power, and based on his current efficiency, he can probably condense three strands of divine power per day.
According to his calculations, the condensation of 8,788 strands of divine power symbolizes his entry into the Great Perfection of the Unity Realm.
The sole sign of achieving the Unity Realm is that divine power permeates every inch of the body, every corner, leaving no blind spots.
After that, he devoted himself to the practice of the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique.
Only by achieving the Great Perfection of Unity can one truly reach the pinnacle of martial arts.
In terms of artistic achievement, he was on par with figures like Lu Zhan, the Prince of Huai'an.
Only then can he envision a realm unparalleled in a thousand years: the Martial Saint.
[Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Experience Points +178]
[Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Experience Points +175]
[Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Experience Points +181]
【.】
Compared to before the breakthrough, the efficiency of gaining experience points from the Black Dragon Devouring Whale Technique has slightly decreased.
But in his view, efficiency remains high.
Of all his current unique skills, this is the most cost-effective to invest time in.
The next day.
Jiang Ning opened his eyes.
The weather was slightly chilly, and the air was icy cold.
He looked out the window; the fine snow was falling, and everything was already a pale white.
Then, he put on his thin training clothes, pushed open the door, and walked out of the room.
Outside the house, fine snow had fallen on the stone bricks, forming a shallow layer of snow.
The snow layer was shallow, and you could still see the bluish-brown stone bricks underneath.
A cold wind blew in through the open door into the room.
The moment the wind brushed against him, he could feel the chill carried by it.
"The changes in the celestial phenomena are so great and so drastic that it is most likely a man-made natural disaster!" Looking at the gloomy sky above and the fine snow falling from the sky.
Jiang Ning muttered to himself.
Then, he shook his head helplessly.
Even now, he cannot change large-scale celestial phenomena and climate.
All that can be done is to alter local weather patterns.
With the Four Seasons Reincarnation Sutra, he can reverse the seasons in a local area.
However, it cannot have a large-scale impact.
He shook his head and walked toward the well.
He came to the well and brought up a bucket of water.
Despite the cold weather, the well water was still steaming.
Like wisps of smoke floating on the water.
After rinsing his mouth and washing his face with the warm well water, he headed towards the backyard.
It was still early, and he didn't want to disturb Ji Mingyue's sleep.
We arrived at the backyard.
He stopped and stood in the thin layer of snow.
His gaze fell on the panel.
[Divine Power]: 12/8788
Compared to last night, the divine power has increased once again.
"At my current efficiency, it would take me about twenty years to reach the Great Perfection of the Unity Realm."
A thought flashed through his mind, and his gaze followed it downwards.
[Source Energy]: 783772
Compared to yesterday, the energy points have surged again.
The number of energy points increased by tens of thousands.
[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique (One-time limit 1837/20000) (Trait: Whale Swallow (Dark Purple))
His gaze swept over the panel, and then he closed it.
The accumulation of over 1,800 experience points was the result of his hard work last night.
Then, he once again focused his gaze and began to circulate the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique.
A powerful force rose from his abdomen, flowing through his body like a dragon, passing through his muscles, bones, flesh, skin, internal organs, and bones.
Wherever the powerful force passes, the body slowly strengthens, and the cells become more active and stronger.
This is a tempering process, and also an evolution.
at the same time.
His body became the center of a vortex, with the falling snow converging towards him.
The moisture, the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and the thin spiritual energy in the courtyard all converged on him like rivers flowing into the sea, accompanied by snowflakes.
As these energies approached him, they were all absorbed into his abdomen.
Replenish his supplies and restore his condition.
But compared to his current energy expenditure, this replenishment is undoubtedly a drop in the ocean.
One hour later.
The sky brightened from its hazy state.
The falling snowflakes became even larger.
The ground was covered in a blanket of white, and the brownish-blue stone bricks beneath the snow layer were no longer visible.
call--
With a series of drumming sounds coming from his abdomen, he slowly opened his eyes and then exhaled a breath of stale air.
His breath turned into mist, the white mist as sharp as swords.
It pierced through the air for three zhang, stirring up wind and snow.
He then opened the iron box and began to use the resources to restore his condition.
With the added benefit of its swallowing ability.
The speed of devouring and refining increased several times over.
He also observed a significant improvement in resource utilization.
After recovering, he went to the kitchen to start cooking porridge.
Ji Mingyue usually arranges and manages all aspects of their daily lives, including food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.
So he took the initiative to take over breakfast.
After cooking the porridge, he went inside to light the charcoal fire.
The temperature dropped sharply, but it had no effect on him, who was already immune to heat and cold.
But he knew that Ji Mingyue's martial arts were mediocre and she couldn't be as immune to heat and cold as he was.
Only after completing these two tasks did he return to continue practicing his skills.
Time flows gently, like a calm stream.
Two days later in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the snow in the courtyard is ten centimeters thick.
After two consecutive days of overcast skies, the weather is beginning to clear up.
[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique+ (Breaking the limit by 20000/20000 in one go) (Trait: Whale Swallow (Dark Purple))
After two days of continuous accumulation and diligent practice, coupled with the assistance of resources, the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique has once again reached its full potential.
The next breakthrough will only require a small amount of 20,000 energy points.
[Source Energy]: 987633
His gaze swept over the Energy Points column.
After days of accumulation, the energy points are just a few drops away from reaching the million mark. (End of Chapter)
