Within a few seconds, a Quasi-Sage Dao Vessel was turned into ashes. Only a long river of vital essence was left, which Jiang Ming devoured. He then evoked the Hongmeng Great Dao Nine Revolution Warrior Body Technique, which helped him digest the vital essence in just a moment, slightly strengthening his physique.
With his physique already at the Saint Realm, the technique was indeed viable to be able to improve his physique.
‘This method is viable!’ Jiang Ming showed his excitement on his face. Following that, he checked on the number of Quasi-Sage Dao Vessels, and he was glad that he had many of them. After all, the experts he slaughtered were either of the Quasi-Sage Realm or the Saint Realm. Hence, they had their own vault with a lot of great stuff. And this had increased his personal collection up to a terrific amount.
‘These things are really useful for me anyway.’ As Jiang Ming thought, a pile of Quas-Sage Dao Vessels appeared before him. Following that, he evoked the Heaven Swallowing Universalization Technique special ability, and began to digest and absorb all these Dao vessels in an insane manner.
At the same time, his physique was improving swiftly.
After Jiang Ming had refined 120 pieces of Quasi-Sage Weapons, his physique had reached the peak of the second mid-cycle, which was equivalent to the peak of a middle stage Saint Realm, and stopped improving further.
‘Is it because the quality of the Dao vessels doesn’t match?’ Jiang Ming stopped, pondering for a long time while deducing his current condition, and easily came out with a solution.
Since the Quasi-Sage Dao Vessels weren’t useful anymore, he changed them to Saint Weapons.
As he flipped his palm, a saber appeared. It originated from the Galaxy, his plunder when he slaughtered the 18 Supreme Experts to save Pan Wang. It was the Supreme Treasure.
Jiang Ming sandwiched the saber between his palms. As he was evoking the special ability, the saber trembled, bursting out a sharp edge that ripped apart everything, trying to escape the fate of destruction.
Jiang Ming had expected such a situation to occur, hence he remained calm and collected. He continued evoking the special ability to disturb the saber’s origin, and forcefully seized the power of creation within it.
The saber whined, but gradually quieted.
This showed how terrific the Heaven Swallowing Universalization Technique was. It not only could manipulate Dao vessels like the Infinite Vessel Manipulation Technique, it could also refine and seize its power. It was absolutely potent.
In fact, it was the upgraded version of the Infinite Vessel Manipulation Technique.
Buzz, buzz, buzz…Jiang Ming was merging all the qi of sharpness, qi of creation, boundless power of origin, supreme Dao fluctuation and the likes into his physique to be utilized as the resources for tempering his physique.
The next moment, Jiang Ming’s physique, which had reached the utmost limit of the second mid-cycle, had eventually broken its shackles, and advanced into the second late-cycle.
Jiang Ming thought his physique would advance into the utmost limit of the second late-cycle. But it stopped just after a while.
‘A Saint Weapon only makes such a little improvement?’ Jiang Ming was rather speechless. But he thought he could understand. He was, after all, seizing the qi of creation to mold himself, improve his potential, build his foundation, temper his physique all-around. Hence, the amount he needed was naturally massive.
‘Fortunately I have more than enough Saint Weapons!’ Jiang Ming calmed himself, and paid full focus into his cultivation.
The Dragon-Headed Crutch, Violet Luminance Treasured Record, Xuanhuang Sword, and the likes, all he had refined.
On this day, he opened his eyes. The power within his body surged. Just like three trillions of atomic bombs exploding, it formed a whistling torrent that destroyed everything and raged in the exclusive space.
If Jiang Ming were to be in the Infinite Battlefield, the power he released might utterly destroy the uniquely built place in an instant. The power was too strong, after all.
‘It’s the utmost limit of the second-cycle!’ Jiang Ming smiled, followed by a helpless sigh.
He was glad by the improvement, and was surprised at the great spending as well. He had spent almost all of his Saint Weapons, and had about three pieces left.
‘Is it a loss?’ As Jiang Ming thought of it, he shook his head instantly. After all, he couldn’t evoke many pieces of Saint Weapons simultaneously. Only the power he had within himself, was the fundamental improvement.
‘I wonder if I can advance into the third cycle?’ As Jiang Ming pondered, he continued his cultivation.
He first polished and precipitated his power to the extent that he could completely control it before he began comprehending the content of the third cycle.
Time passed by quickly as the sun and moon took their turns. No, there wasn’t any sun nor moon in the exclusive space.
Jiang Ming had been cultivating for a long time, but he couldn’t advance into the third cycle regardless.
‘Now I’ve two choices, one is to continue seizing the qi of creation of King Weapons, while the second one is to absorb the power of creation from the Chaotic World Tree.’
Other than the two, Jiang Ming would have to slowly temper his physique, in addition to a lengthy cultivation, before he could see the potential to break the shackles for further advancement. Of course, it was even possible that the shackles would be there eternally, and he could no longer improve his physique.
Jiang Ming was rather hesitant. After all, he had only three pieces of King Saint Weapons, namely the Heaven Shattering Spear, Chaos Emerald Bead, and Chaos Golden Pagoda.
‘The Chaos Golden Pagoda is broken, hence I shall use it to try out!’ Jiang Ming eventually decided. He thought it would be worth it even if he had to spend all the three pieces if they would help him breakthrough. He was only afraid that he couldn’t break through even after he used up all the three pieces.
Nevertheless, since Jiang Ming had decided, he no longer was hesitating.
Jiang Ming adjusted his condition to his best self, took out a glob of the Chaotic World Tree’s Heart Resin, and swallowed it before he started melting the Chaos Golden Pagoda.
Because this supreme King Saint Weapon had been refined earlier, it didn’t resist much.
The melting speed this time was very slow. If it was counted according to the time, he had spent 1,000 years before he managed to completely digest the Chaos Golden Tower. Moreover, this was the speed of him utilizing the power of his King Soul. It was too difficult to digest a King Saint Weapon.
In this period of time, the World Tree’s resin had cleared his physique into an incomparably transparent way. The 480 million pores all over his body were spewing divine brilliance, and a dazzling divine luminance hanging. Jiang Ming looked like a supreme Saint herb as he was radiating luminance, and his power raging.
The blood flow within Jiang Ming was like a river of meteorites that traversed the endless starry sky in the big universe. The occasional heart beat could shatter the world. The power was too terrifying, after all.
The physique of Jiang Ming had reached an utmost limit, and was at the edge of transformation, and the last moment before the sublimation.
Jiang Ming evoked the Hongmeng Great Dao Nine Revolution Warrior Body Technique in a berserk manner along with him digesting the power of the Chaos Golden Tower. In addition to the promotion of his King Soul, the shackles in his body, and the supreme confinement, abruptly exploded at this moment.
Boundless torrent raged out from within Jiang Ming, transformed his blood and marrow, reorganized his muscles and bones, and trembled his viscera.
His body suddenly swelled, reaching a height of 30 million feet.
It was fortunate that the exclusive cultivation space could change according to needs.
His massive body was like the demonic god in ancient times. In fact, even the demonic god was incomparable to him.
Jiang Ming’s might was still soaring at fast speed, reaching an unpredictable level. His vast aura seemed to have existed since ancient times, and his ancient charm was far older than the world. Taking a glance at his long lasting aura, and eternal Dao fluctuation, it seemed like the Chaos, the light, the future, the great Dao, the source of all, as well as the end of all.
It truly felt like Jiang Ming was the Dao, and the Dao was Jiang Ming.
The soaring aura gradually became gentle, and stopped eventually.
‘This is too strong!’ Jiang Ming returned to his true self. As he clenched his fist, he felt he could burst the entire Honggu Great Chiliocosm with a fist.
It was not delusional but an absolute confidence.
“Alas, it’s the King Saint physique! To think that I’ve advanced to this level!” Jiang Ming couldn’t help but lament.
