The Lord of Ashes

After temporarily staying in the world of despair, Thain immediately devoted himself to his research.

Those free laborers were still tidying up his joint fortress group, while Gongsun Wudi took a deep breath and began to strengthen his body and practice as a warrior.

After Thain figured out the general situation of himself and others, he did not immediately invest in the exploration and research of the desperate world. He first focused on his own breakthrough experiment.

——With the combined fortress group temporarily scrapped, Thain's personal strength is actually greatly affected now.

In order to improve his ability to survive in a desperate world, or to have more confidence to explore this world, the first thing Thain needs to do is to recover from his injuries as soon as possible and improve himself.

In the late sixth level, Thain had roughly figured out the direction and completed several phased experimental studies long before he wandered into the world of despair.

Now it's time to accept the results.

Because of the special nature of this world, it is not certain that Thain's body refining process, which has not changed significantly for a long time, will usher in a new transformation.

…

The breakthrough experiment went very smoothly.

This breakthrough in the small realm is the coexistence of the Mystery of Ashes Fire, the Mystery of Mechanical Fusion, and the Mystery of Body Refining.

He had just obtained several specimens of creatures from the world of despair. During this period, they gave Thain a lot of inspiration in the field of body refining.

In fact, for magicians, every breakthrough in realm is a matter of course, and is a sign of further improvement of the truth and mysteries.

Very few magicians have the adventure of reaching the sky in one step.

Getting something for nothing is hard to come by in the magician profession.

…

Thain's experiment in advancing to the late sixth level lasted for more than two years.

As his realm gradually stabilized, the impact he suffered from the tide of endless light energy also eased significantly.

A lot.

Thanks to Thane and Gongsun Wudi, they had a lot of good stuff on hand.

Whether it is various types of potions, supplements, or rare spiritual materials, there is no shortage of them for the time being.

Many of the potions that Thain has on hand come from his mentor Lu Lianman.

Because of this, Thain always thinks of his mentor when he sees these potions and does not feel any regrets.

If it happened again, he would still choose to rescue his mentor and put her in such danger.

Because of the constant erosion and energy loss of various types of equipment, especially space props, in the world of despair, all the resources that Thain and Gongsun Wudi had on hand were concentrated into the Rubik's Cube, the space conch, and the bellyband-style space equipment.

Only in this way can losses be reduced.

Gongsun Wudi's bellyband shouldn't be very capable of storing things.

Anyway, in the end, at least two-thirds of her resources were temporarily stored here in Thane.

Thain's space conch is spacious enough, including the Rubik's Cube, and can also be used as a storage item.

…

After being successfully promoted, Thane walked out of the laboratory and glanced at Gongsun Wudi.

Several years have passed, and Gongsun Wudi seems to have gradually adapted to the special environment of the desperate world.

She took off her golden armor and changed into a gray-white ordinary martial arts uniform as her daily attire.

When Thain found her, she was performing some mysterious and slow exercises in a cave near a settlement.

This seems to be a kind of boxing technique. Gongsun Wudi's movements are very slow, and there is no threat at the moment.

But this set of boxing techniques contains something that Thain can't explain and can't explain.

Ming's special law charm.

Thain watched for a long time until Gongsun Wudi came out of his training state. Gongsun Wudi had boxed several times. A trace of sweat was reflected on his loose gray and white long clothes.

This sweat smell is very good.

"This is a boxing technique my father gave me. If you are interested, you can also practice it." After finishing the practice, Gongsun Wudi wiped the sweat from his body and said.

Thain has also been refining his body. He can naturally see that this set of boxing techniques, which contain special laws and secrets, must be of great benefit to his body refining process.

Not to mention, this is a boxing technique once pioneered by Gongsun Wudi's father, a master-level warrior.

Regarding Gongsun Wudi's kindness, Thain nodded and agreed.

Ever since the two embraced each other and survived the dangerous situation in the time and space passage, his relationship with Gongsun Wudi has made rapid progress.

It's just that neither of them broke through that layer of relationship.

Gongsun Wudi has a cold temperament and will not take the initiative to mention it. Thain has also been busy with experiments and truth exploration recently, and has not taken the initiative to deepen this relationship with Gongsun Wudi.

Anyway, the two of them don't know when they will be able to leave this world for the time being. There will be a lot of time in the future for "romance."

"You are already at the critical point of domination. In this desperate world, there is still room for improvement. It is incredible."

"But in addition to the traditional passive evolution and physical strengthening methods, I have other ways to speed up your passive evolution and physical growth." Thain said.

Gongsun Wudi raised his eyebrows, and she looked at Thain quietly.

Then Thain opened his right hand, and a dazzling blood crystal appeared in his palm.

"This thing... seems to be the flesh and blood you obtained from the devils in the deal?"

Gongsun Wudi asked.

As one of the commanders of the Divine World War, Gongsun Wudi naturally still remembers some things during the war.

Thain nodded and replied, "I did get the method to refine and extract the best blood crystals from the demons."

"But the blood crystal in front of me is the essence that I extracted from the flesh and blood of creatures in the world of despair."

"It has to be said that the physical strength of the creatures in the Despair World has reached a level that far exceeds that of normal creatures of the same level in the star realm."

"This makes the effect of the blood crystals extracted and tempered from their bodies far beyond what I originally expected." Thain said solemnly.

Not to mention that the blood crystal itself is a condensed essence, it is just the flesh and blood of those fourth and fifth level creatures, and it is also a rare tonic in the star world.

When Thain and Gongsun Wudi first came to the world of despair, they ate several wanderers one after another because of the hunger conveyed by this world.

However, in the past two years, after establishing their power, Thain and Gongsun Wudi rarely threatened the wanderers living around the settlements.

The two people's daily energy consumption is mainly based on the energy crystals or other resources they have on hand.

At this time, Thain took out the blood crystal, indicating that in addition to the traditional cultivation methods, he and Gongsun Wudi had a shortcut.

In this regard, Gongsun Wudi did not raise any objection.

Thain later said, "In addition to blood crystals, I can also refine some body refining potions. Of course, I still have some inventory left by my mentor."

"However, in the future, at least until I find a normal way out of this desperate world, I may have to try to refine the corresponding body refining potion myself." Thain said with a headache.

Thain, who was used to receiving potion gifts from his mentor, suddenly had a burden on his shoulders. Thain couldn't help but look slightly bitter when he felt that his experimental tasks were getting heavier.
