Open up and break into another world

Black Tortoise Soul: Upon reaching Great Accomplishment, it grants powerful soul defense comparable to the divine beast Black Tortoise, greatly enhancing mental defenses; furthermore, it allows the user to use mental energy to form a layer of "Tortoise Shell Defense" on the body surface, enhancing physical defense. This is the first layer, "Instant Mastery Edition," priced at two hundred Tier 2 Enhancement Points.

White Tiger Head: Upon reaching Great Accomplishment, it grants powerful soul attack comparable to the divine beast White Tiger, greatly enhancing mental attack power; it also provides a certain bonus to agility and speed. This is the first layer, "Instant Mastery Edition," priced at two hundred Tier 2 Enhancement Points.

Xu Ming studied the first layer of "Sacred Beast Body" for a long time, finally making a painful decision: "I'll buy them!"

Xu Ming had already experienced the power of the "Kirin Arm"; he believed that the other four parts of this Heaven-Rank secret skill would not disappoint him!

As long as he learned the first layer of "Sacred Beast Body," his physical strength, physical defense, mental attack, mental defense, recovery, speed, and agility would all be comprehensively improved, equivalent to his cultivation directly advancing a level.

Moreover, as a Heaven-Rank secret skill, "Sacred Beast Body" not only significantly improves strength now but also has strong potential for development.

Of course, the main thing is that "Sacred Beast Body" is cost-effective! The entire first layer adds up to only one thousand Tier 2 Enhancement Points, completely within Xu Ming's affordability.

"Buy!"

After buying Azure Dragon Body, White Tiger Head, Vermilion Bird Blood, and Black Tortoise Soul, Xu Ming felt as if a lot of information had been forcibly stuffed into his brain, all about the application of the secret skills.

Immediately afterward, the first thing Xu Ming felt was that the mental energy in his mind suddenly expanded greatly, and his thoughts became incredibly sharp and clear; even the world seemed to slow down in his eyes.

Then, Xu Ming realized that his physical body had also been enhanced.

The blood in his body had a kind of hot, boiling sensation—Xu Ming knew that this was because a trace of the "Vermilion Bird Bathing in Flames" concept had been integrated into his blood.

Powerful physical body!

Powerful mental energy!

Powerful recovery!

With these alone, even if Xu Ming didn't use the cheat, he would be able to fight beyond his level!

"I really want to find someone to slap in the face to test the power of the Sacred Beast Body!" Xu Ming rubbed his fists and palms.

However, it was the middle of the night, and there was obviously no place to find someone to slap in the face. Xu Ming had no choice but to calm down his restless fighting desire and continue to browse the Divine Artifact Shop in peace.

"Eh? Mental Secret Skill?"

Seeing the Mental Secret Skill category, Xu Ming suddenly thought that although he now possessed powerful mental energy, his methods of using mental energy seemed to be very crude!

What was the point of having powerful mental energy if he didn't know how to use it? Wouldn't that be a waste of natural resources?

Finally, Xu Ming chose a Profound-Rank secret skill called "Storm" from the Mental Secret Skills.

"Um, I've even learned a mental secret skill, so shouldn't I also get a set of spear techniques?"

Xu Ming had never learned any powerful spear techniques.

This led to the fact that even if he activated Perfect Battle, he could only use some basic moves from spear techniques—perfection was indeed flawless, but it couldn't unleash any killer moves.

If Xu Ming was only at the Outer Training or Inner Training level, then not learning spear techniques wouldn't matter. Because spear techniques at the Outer Training and Inner Training levels are just some basic spear techniques; whether Xu Ming learns them or not, the difference in strength after activating Perfect Battle wouldn't be significant.

For example, with "Explosive Spear Technique," Profound Energy would erupt from the spearhead, inflicting terrifying damage; another example is "Line of Sky," where the spear thrust would be attached with a special penetrating effect—and if Xu Ming hadn't learned these special spear techniques, then even if he activated Perfect Battle, he obviously wouldn't be able to use them.

"I have to get a set of spear techniques too!"

Xu Ming originally wanted to buy the first layer of a Heaven-Rank spear technique, but after looking around, Heaven-Rank spear techniques didn't seem to suit him very well; in the end, he had no choice but to choose a more suitable Profound-Rank spear technique—"Ripple Spear."

After slightly picking a few treasures, Xu Ming finally focused his attention on the Realm category.

"Harmony of Man and Nature..."

One thousand Enhancement Points is a bit expensive!

However, the concept of realm is ethereal and illusory. If he relied on his own slow comprehension, he wouldn't know when he would be able to comprehend it...

Xu Ming gritted his teeth: "I'll buy it!"

One thousand Tier 2 Enhancement Points were spent.

Immediately, Xu Ming felt as if he had melted into the heavens and earth.

Originally, even if Xu Ming activated Perfect Battle, he would only vaguely feel a sense of intimacy from the heavens, earth, and nature. Although it was incomparably intimate, it had no other substantial effect other than the disappearance of air resistance.

But now!

Xu Ming had completely melted into the heavens, earth, and nature. His every move was assisted and enhanced by the power of nature.

Realm, for him, was no longer just exquisite moves and actions, but real power!

Xu Ming carefully felt it for a while.

It was as if no matter what he wanted to do, the heavens and earth would help him.

If he wanted to walk, he only needed to lift his foot, and an invisible force would make his steps incomparably light.

If he wanted to punch, his fist would be wrapped in a layer of natural force, greatly increasing its power.

In short, no matter what he wanted to do, the heavens and earth would subtly give him strength!

"So... this is the feeling of the Harmony of Man and Nature, communicating with the heavens, earth, and nature!" Xu Ming secretly marveled, "It's indeed powerful! No wonder Gu Hanmo was able to match the Late Stage of the Innate Realm with his Middle Stage of the Innate Realm cultivation, relying on the Harmony of Man and Nature!"

"But... I wonder if there is an even stronger realm above the Harmony of Man and Nature?"

After a round of buying, buying, buying, the four thousand Tier 2 Enhancement Points on Xu Ming's body suddenly shrank to one thousand...

"It's easy to spend money, but hard to earn it!"

This remaining one thousand Enhancement Points, Xu Ming had to save a little; because for the time being, Xu Ming hadn't figured out how to earn Enhancement Points.

But fortunately, Xu Ming didn't have much pressure at the moment, so he didn't need to rush to earn Enhancement Points.

"Let's get a good night's sleep first!"

With his strength soaring, Xu Ming was in a good mood and prepared to get a good night's sleep.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Xu Ming remembered that he had forgotten something.

"Dao Demon Orb!"

Xu Ming took out this inconspicuous black strange orb, recalling the information he had detected: the Harmony of Man and Nature realm can absorb and use it, with great benefits, but also with considerable risks.

Great benefits?

Considerable risks?

"Little Cheat, help me investigate in detail again!"

The investigation function is actually divided into several levels. The more detailed the information detected, the more Enhancement Points are consumed.

"This in-depth investigation will consume thirty Tier 2 Enhancement Points. Do you want to investigate?"

Thirty Tier 2 Enhancement Points, converted into gold, is three million taels, which is really expensive!

"Investigate!"

Without determining what the "great benefits" and "considerable risks" were, Xu Ming wouldn't dare to use it casually.

"Investigation complete! Dao Demon Orb: A special treasure produced in the Dao Seeking Demon Realm. The host can absorb and use it now. After absorption, you will obtain 'Demonic Qi', with no risk during absorption!"

No risk!?

Xu Ming was stunned.

Wasn't it said that there would be considerable risks? If there's no risk, why did I need you to investigate in detail!
