Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Within the Soldier's Graveyard, Jun Wuxie initially endured excruciating pain, gradually acclimating his body. He completed the current stage of physical tempering in a relatively short time, merely half a day.

By constantly monitoring the impact of soldier intent on his body and enduring shorter bursts of intense pain, he maintained peak physical strength at each stage. This reinforced his belief that he couldn't afford to neglect this aspect.

After emerging, he immediately consumed a Hundred-Berry Fruit.

The fruit's pulpy juice was sweet and fragrant, leaving a lingering aroma. As it slid down his throat into his abdomen, it instantly transformed into pure energy, surging through his meridians towards his limbs and bones.

He hastily circulated the Primordial Golden Body Art to refine and absorb it.

The contained wisps of Sacred Spirit Qi shared a similar essence with the Primordial Source within the Sacred Source, both being invaluable energies for cultivators to establish a foundation in the Sacred Realm.

Its most precious effect was the wisp of mysterious power it contained.

Jun Wuxie could vaguely sense it but couldn't truly grasp that strand of energy.

"It seems this should be the Power of Fortune…"

He mused inwardly, as the Power of Fortune couldn't be controlled or guided; it automatically integrated into his body and soul.

Besides this, the Hundred-Berry Fruit also contained a special energy. After dispersing within his body, it surged along his meridians towards his limbs and bones, tempering his physical body repeatedly. Some of it integrated into his bloodline, stimulating a degree of bloodline potential, while others entered the Stellar Seas within his apertures, continuously refining the Stellar Sea Blood Qi.

He felt as if countless rivers were flowing within his body. These were the energy pathways formed by the effects of the Hundred-Berry Fruit, circulating throughout every corner of his being, bringing a warm sensation and a feeling of expansion.

As time passed, this energy gradually surged, becoming increasingly vigorous. Regardless of where it lingered in his body, it ultimately converged towards his apertures.

During this process, he could clearly sense his cultivation realm advancing at a perceptible rate, surging towards a higher domain.

His body resembled a great sun continuously radiating golden light, every inch of his skin dazzling, every pore emitting golden rays, even his hair strands were entwined with golden light.

In just two days.

The sound of energy surging within his body suddenly transformed into an earth-shattering roar.

This instantly caused his entire body to tremble violently, his mind buzzing, his golden blood qi surging, golden light piercing straight into the sky, turning the entire world into a golden realm.

His aura instantly surged several times over!

The breakthrough of a major realm, the enhancement of strength, was far from comparable to the breakthrough of a minor realm. This feeling filled his heart with a swelling confidence, making him feel that his fists could now shatter the entire Path of Trials, breaking through all the checkpoints!

This was an illusion brought about by the surge in power!

Jun Wuxie was well aware of this. He restrained his excitement and carefully sensed the changes within himself.

He was now in the early stage of the Heavenly Position in the Half-Saint Realm!

In just two days, his realm had broken through again. Every cell in his body was filled with power, and the feeling of solidity and surging blood qi was indescribable.

However, the changes in his body and the increase in his strength didn't stop there.

The moment his realm broke through, the intensity of his talent growth also broke through its shackles, instantly stepping onto the third level of the Eternal Legend, doubling his overall strength again!

This growth trend didn't stop there but continued to move forward, all the way to the peak of the third level of the Eternal Legend, and then infinitely close to the fourth level before stopping.

Jun Wuxie clearly felt that it wasn't that the intensity of his talent had run out of steam after advancing but that he had encountered a ceiling, forcibly suppressed below the fourth level, unable to continue improving due to the laws of heaven and earth!

"What a pity. In this Golden Scale Secret Realm, I can only reach the extreme peak of the third level of the Eternal Legend at most, unable to reach the fourth level. The suppression still exists, only the upper limit is slightly higher than the outside world. However, the effect of this Sacred Source is truly extraordinary. The Sacred Source refined during these days, the Primordial Source Qi within it combined with the Hundred-Berry Fruit, the effect it unleashed, if there were no suppression, would be completely sufficient to continuously advance two levels of talent growth intensity!"

Jun Wuxie sighed inwardly but quickly resigned himself to it.

What he lacked now were special secret realms. If he could find a secret realm with relatively weaker suppression and a higher upper limit in the future, he could step into the fourth level of the Eternal Legend at any time in his current state.

His accumulation of talent growth was completely sufficient, reaching the standard of the fourth level of the Eternal Legend, only he was unable to step onto that level due to the suppression.

Calming down, he began to consolidate his realm, secretly controlling and familiarizing himself with his own power, no longer dwelling on other things.

The next day, he opened his eyes, two beams of golden light shooting out, sharp and unparalleled.

After a moment, the sharpness in his eyes subsided, and his gaze became profound.

"Is there no tribulation to overcome here?"

He looked towards the sky, got up and stretched his muscles and bones. His blood qi surged slightly, and the void distorted between the movements of his arms.

"My current strength is more than ten times stronger compared to before the minor perfection of the extreme realm of the Lesser Heavenly Position!"

He carefully felt his current strength and compared it with the previous days. They were incomparable, the difference was too great!

In the extreme realm, each minor realm increases strength by one time, and each breakthrough in talent growth intensity increases strength by one time. The breakthrough of a major realm increases strength by several times.

Each improvement is not based on the initial foundation but on the current foundation.

Just say breaking through to the initial stage of the Middle Heavenly Position, at that time he was already many times stronger than when he was at the minor perfection of the extreme realm of the Lesser Heavenly Position.

And the talent growth from the second level of the Eternal Legend all the way forward, advancing to the extreme peak of the third level of the Eternal Legend, is more than doubled based on the strength he possessed in the early stage of the Middle Heavenly Position.

This makes him now completely at a different level of strength compared to a few days ago!

"You give me an even more unfathomable feeling."

Yue Chenyu stared at his tall figure, a touch of fascination flashing across her cold eyes.

"You are also very strong, don't underestimate yourself."

Jun Wuxie activated the Primordial True Eye and looked at her.

Yue Chenyu didn't resist but instead opened herself up for him to peer into.

"You have also advanced to the third level of the Eternal Legend, the initial stage of the Middle Heavenly Position, and your physical body is several times stronger than before."

He peered into her state.

Yue Chenyu slowly shook her head, her cold voice coming from her charming red lips: "I never underestimate myself. I know my position and strength, more clearly than anyone else. I can boast that I am no weaker than anyone in front of all my peers, but only when facing you do I have no capital to be proud of. Not to mention that your absolute power is stronger than mine, even your secret techniques and divine powers are stronger than mine, and your physical strength is unmatched by any of our generation. No one can match your ability to sustain high-intensity battles."

"If you praise me like this, I will be proud."

The corners of Jun Wuxie's mouth curled up slightly, and he turned to look at the thirty-eighth level. For a moment, his heart surged, and he said: "It's time to continue breaking through the levels. I don't know what the final fiftieth level is like. I'm looking forward to it!"

His voice was very calm, but Yue Chenyu heard a strong confidence in his calm tone.

She got up and walked forward with him side by side.

The tough barrier instantly collapsed into a huge hole under his golden fist.

They passed through the broken barrier and stepped onto the stairs leading to the thirty-eighth level.

In the center of the thirty-eighth level platform, there were two statues.

Those were two leaders in the middle stage of the Middle Heavenly Position, at the first level of the Eternal Legend.

"As I expected, this pattern should continue until the forty-fifth level. Under the Despair Mode, the difficulty will become more and more perverted! I have to say, this is indeed despairing, but it doesn't include us."

When facing the level leaders again, Jun Wuxie no longer felt the pressure he used to feel. His confidence deeply infected Yue Chenyu, and she inexplicably felt that as long as this man was there, all difficulties would become smooth, and the greatest storms would eventually subside.

They entered the platform, and the light of order lit up, condensing a line of words in the void in front of them.

As with the previous level, it was a difficulty mode selection.

Jun Wuxie chose the Despair Mode difficulty without hesitation.

He now understood the meaning of the numbers in parentheses after those modes.

The number after the difficulty mode represents the number of guards summoned by the leader.

Despair Mode has a nine after it, so the number of guards summoned is nine, which is very likely the number of guards summoned by a single leader.

Nightmare Mode before Despair Mode has a seven after it, so the number of guards summoned by the leader is seven.

The difficulty of the Normal, Hard, and Hell modes is relatively low. Starting from the Abyss Mode, the difficulty increases in leaps and bounds. The number of guards summoned by the leader jumps directly from three in Hell Mode to five in Abyss Mode, and the number summoned in each subsequent mode increases by two.

"Challengers Jun Wuxie and Yue Chenyu, you have chosen the Despair Mode difficulty for the thirty-eighth level. Good luck to you!"

The voice of order rang out in the sky.

At the same time, throughout the entire Golden Scale Secret Realm, the voice of order rang out on all the Paths of Trials.

"Jun Wuxie and Yue Chenyu of the Immortal Execution Dynasty have activated the Despair Mode difficulty for the thirty-eighth level. They are the only challengers to have passed the Despair Mode, and they are also the challengers who have continuously chosen the Despair Mode. May the other challengers take them as an example!"

Instantly, all the Paths of Trials exploded!

Everyone looked towards the sky above, the expressions on their faces varying.

Some were excited and shouted, raising their arms and cheering; some pupils contracted, and their expressions were solemn; some had cold smiles on their faces, so jealous that their mentality was unbalanced.

"Relying on the Soldier Talisman bestowed by the Soldier Saint to cheat, what an example, it's really laughable! The Soldier Talisman will eventually run out, and then they will be exposed!"

"Continuously choosing Despair Mode? That Jun is too arrogant, really thinking he is omnipotent. Is he trying to attract public attention? I don't think he will be able to pass this level!"

"Hmph, it's still the same sentence, after all, it's just making wedding clothes for us. Everything he does, struggles hard, and risks his life to obtain will eventually fall into our hands. I can't wait to see what his unwilling expression will be like then, hahahaha!"

The people under the four Supreme Sovereigns mocked each other on their respective paths of trials.

That Jun Wuxie has been stealing the spotlight. Along the way, they've heard enough of the Order's announcements. Now, every time they hear it, they tremble with anger!

No one wants to see their rival achieve accomplishments that crush them at every stage and in every level.

This feeling is very uncomfortable. The more they compare, the more they feel like they are nothing in front of him.
