Chapter 205

Su Xiaobai’s face was full of surprise and joy!

The moment he activated the Saint-level technique Sun and Moon Devouring Body, even though he had only just grasped the beginner level, his cultivation jumped directly from the Third-tier Martial Emperor stage to the Fifth-tier Martial Emperor stage!

Originally, Su Xiaobai had estimated: If Sun and Moon Devouring Body could push him up one rank, that would already be an incredible gain.

After all, the higher one climbed, the harder it became to advance…

Especially now, when Su Xiaobai was already at the Third-tier Martial Emperor level—

For ordinary cultivators, even hundreds of thousands of years might not be enough to break through to the Fourth-tier Martial Emperor rank!

The Martial Emperor realm was unimaginably difficult.

Take the Siwu Clan for example:

They’d existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and their most powerful cultivator only ever reached Second-tier Martial Emperor.

Even after sacrificing their entire clan in a grand ritual, they barely managed to produce a Third-tier Martial Emperor!

So—if a single Saint-level technique could grant even one rank’s worth of advancement, it was already phenomenal.

But Su Xiaobai had directly broken through to the Fifth-tier Martial Emperor realm!

Even if he’d only just stepped into that level…

It was still enough to reveal just how terrifying a Saint-level technique could be—far beyond Su Xiaobai’s previous imagination!

“Saint-level techniques… sure are insanely powerful!”

Su Xiaobai clicked his tongue in amazement.

But that made sense.

After all, this was a genuine Saint-level technique.

Any Martial Saint, if they could just grasp a Saint-level technique—even at its entry level, they might not be able to crush everyone at the same rank, but they would absolutely become top-tier existences among their peers.

And if they managed to comprehend intermediate, advanced, or even peak stages, they might even be able to defeat opponents above their level!

To a Martial Saint, a Saint-level technique was an unparalleled treasure.

Now that it had fallen into the hands of a Martial Emperor like Su Xiaobai, and had been successfully understood—

How could the benefits not be massive?

Su Xiaobai also understood well:

With his ordinary Transcendent-level cultivation base, there was bound to be a mismatch between his cultivation and the technique’s power.

He was probably only bringing out 30% of its potential at best!

Otherwise, would he have only jumped two stages?

He wouldn’t be surprised if he had leapt straight to Saint-level cultivation!

“Emperor Su!”

“Greetings to Emperor Su!”

“We pay our respects to Emperor Su!”

Just as Su Xiaobai had withdrawn the celestial phenomenon, a crowd of Martial Kings and Martial Gods hurried over and respectfully saluted him.

Though it was their first time seeing Su Xiaobai, the aura surrounding him clearly told them—

This youth, who possessed a Martial Emperor’s pressure despite only having Martial God-level cultivation, was undoubtedly the legendary figure who had wiped out the Siwu Clan and saved Earth and humanity!

“Mm.”

“You may leave.”

Su Xiaobai nodded slightly and spoke calmly.

“Yes!”

All the Martial Gods and Martial Kings retreated in unison.

But from this moment onward—

They remembered Su Xiaobai’s face.

They remembered the name “Emperor Su.”

And they would never forget that dreadful aura that had just shaken their very souls…

They had to return immediately and inform their clans:

No matter what—absolutely no one must offend Su Xiaobai, nor any faction under his banner!

“Now that Sun and Moon Devouring Body is settled, it’s time I tally up this massive haul!”

Su Xiaobai grinned wide.

After speaking with Luo Yu and returning to Earth, Su Xiaobai had first gone to find Su Ling’er—

He’d helped her with direct instillation of cultivation techniques, and even channeled cultivation energy into Xiaobailong, raising its level straight to the Sub-Transcendent stage.

Just as that was finished, and before he even had time to inventory his loot, he had already comprehended Sun and Moon Devouring Body.

So now—he finally had time to breathe.

“Tsk tsk tsk… so many spatial rings, just looking at them makes my heart flutter!”

This was by far the biggest harvest Su Xiaobai had ever made!

He had plundered the entire Siwu Clan, and an entire massive city’s worth of treasures!

Although the war between Su Xiaobai and Qi Chan had destroyed much of Zefeng Giant City— and in the process, countless spatial rings had also been shattered by the aftershocks…

Even so, Su Xiaobai now had at least ten million spatial rings lying inside his personal Qiankun Space!

“Let’s start with a count of the Origin Stones!”

“Siwu Clan… don’t let me down now!”

Su Xiaobai swiftly unleashed his spiritual sense and scanned them.

Moments later, the tally was in—

A total of 948.6 billion low-grade Origin Stones!

So satisfying~~

Su Xiaobai felt utterly content when he saw that number.

Back when he had only 15.6 billion low-grade Origin Stones, he’d already been able to massively upgrade multiple system functions…

Now with 948.6 billion, there was no doubt— his system was about to be upgraded once again!

Of course, a mega city would never only contain just these Origin Stones.

The five major alliances had all established branch outposts within Zefeng Giant City—

The amount of wealth they held alone was likely even more staggering.

And if you counted the riches of all the lives and clans doing business in the city?

It would be even more astonishing!

But Su Xiaobai had only looted spatial rings, not ransacked the entire city.

Qi Chan’s desperate final move—the sacrificial ritual— not only annihilated the Siwu Clan, but also killed many members of other visiting clans who had been trading within Zefeng Giant City.

Surely, the Five Alliances and other races would soon come knocking!

Now that Earth’s humans were moving into Zefeng Giant City, and formally integrating into the myriad races of the Vast Domain, the less trouble—the better.

Even though Su Xiaobai had reached Fifth-tier Martial Emperor, above him still stood: Saint, Immortal, and even Emperor-level existences!

Until he achieved absolute invincibility— stability had to come first.

That’s why Su Xiaobai had left behind all the wealth that wasn’t sealed in spatial rings—as a foundation for Earth’s humanity, and also as a gesture of goodwill to other factions.

But as for the 948.6 billion Origin Stones…

He wasn’t about to be polite about that!

And what Su Xiaobai valued most wasn’t just the Origin Stones.

There were also countless rare materials and treasures inside those rings— all essential for refining, alchemy, and forging enhancements!

With these in hand, Su Xiaobai’s wealth and strength could skyrocket to new heights!

“First things first—let’s upgrade One-Click Practice!”

Now that he had the money, of course Su Xiaobai’s first move was to upgrade his One-Click Practice Space.

He was currently cultivating two techniques inside: [The Scripture of Time] – an emperor-rank time-attribute technique and [Sun and Moon Devouring Body] – the Saint-level technique

Both were incredibly beneficial to him, so he naturally had to prioritize them.

The sooner he could master them, the better!

What’s more, Su Xiaobai was about to enter the Virtual Network—

The techniques obtained there might not be as easy to master as before…

To level up faster, gain more rewards, and increase his power, the One-Click Practice Space was absolutely essential!

“Deducting 2.2 billion low-grade Origin Stones—One-Click Practice Space upgraded to level 41.”

“Space-time flow speed increased from 110 million times to 220 million times!”

“Deducting 35.2 billion low-grade Origin Stones—One-Click Practice Space upgraded to level 45.”

“Space-time flow speed increased from 1.75 billion times to 3.5 billion times!”

“Ding! One-Click Practice Space has reached Level 45.”

“New feature unlocked: [Ninefold Practice]!”

[Ninefold Practice] – allows simultaneous cultivation of nine techniques!

Once it hit level 45, Su Xiaobai immediately halted.

Even with nearly a trillion Origin Stones, he couldn’t afford to keep upgrading like this!

Just a few clicks had already cost him six to seven hundred billion!

At this rate, he’d run out before even reaching level 50!

And even if he did want to spend that much— he couldn’t afford to blow it all just on cultivation speed.

He had to save some for Auto-Hunting!

So next, Su Xiaobai decisively chose to upgrade Auto-Hunting.

“Deducting 10.1 billion—Auto-Hunting Space upgraded to level 27.”

“Number of shadows increased to 27!”

“Deducting 274.5 billion—Auto-Hunting Space upgraded to level 30.”

“Number of shadows increased to 30!”

“Ding! Auto-Hunting Space has reached Level 30.”

“New feature unlocked: [Reinforcements]!”

[Reinforcements] – Number of shadows is doubled!

What the hell?!!!

When Su Xiaobai heard the system notification, his eyeballs nearly popped out of his head!
