Chapter 1240: Chapter 433: Simulating 2,800 Years, The Heavenly Secrets Domain is on the Brink of Danger!

“As expected, after my strength has improved again, this Shadow Deity is no longer my match…”

Su Xing nodded slightly, not surprised at this fact.

The Dao of the Five Elements has stepped into the Sixth Realm, the True Realm of Dao!

This is Su Xing’s most powerful offensive technique at present!

Coupled with the breakthroughs in both Qi Refinement and Body Refinement Cultivation Levels, Su Xing’s overall strength has increased by at least 50%!

This also means that Su Xing’s power has truly reached the level of being among the top two in the Earth Ranking!

Su Xing recalled Tang Yi Yi’s combat performance in his mind.

After a moment, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and said:

“Currently, my strength and Tang Yi Yi’s are indeed neck and neck…”

“But Tang Yi Yi is still the second on the Earth Ranking… I wonder how far he remains from Immortal Ziling?”

Su Xing had only witnessed one battle between Immortal Ziling and Blood Three, from which he could tell that Immortal Ziling had strength close to the Taiyi Golden Immortal rank.

But back then, Su Xing’s cultivation was still shallow, so he couldn’t discern many details.

“It seems I need to find an opportunity to spar with Immortal Ziling… Only then can I see the gap between us!”

“As long as I can defeat Immortal Ziling, I can truly ascend to the number one spot on the Earth Ranking!”

Thinking of this, Su Xing felt a burning enthusiasm in his heart.

Being first on the Earth Ranking would grant him a chance to meet the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master.

Su Xing had missed such an opportunity in the past, but this time, he certainly would not miss it again!

“But this is not urgent for now. At the moment, improving my strength is still the priority!”

“However, I wonder if relying on the power of the Shadow Deity can trigger the Heart of Strong talent…”

Su Xing frowned slightly.

If Su Xing activated the “Another Shot” talent, he could absolutely kill the Shadow Deity!

This implies that, in theory, Su Xing’s strength exceeds that of the Shadow Deity.

And for the Shadow Deity to defeat him, leaving him heavily injured and unconscious, Su Xing would have to “throw the match” once.

“I wonder, can such ‘throwing the match’ trigger the Heart of Strong talent?”

“Well, let’s give it a try for now. There’s no real harm in it…”

Thinking this, Su Xing focused his gaze on the Simulation Panel.

[Your intense battle with the Shadow Deity continues.]

[In the second year of battle, the Shadow Deity gradually became familiar with your attack methods and Divine Skills, starting to counterattack during defense.]

[However, your strength is vastly different from before, and combined with the severe injuries you inflicted on the Shadow Deity earlier, you still held the upper hand.]

[You understood that continuing like this, the Shadow Deity would definitely be unable to help you trigger the Heart of Strong.]

[Thus, you deliberately underestimated the Shadow Deity during the fight and occasionally revealed flaws…]

[After multiple instances of “throwing the match,” you began to get injured, and the battle reached a balance.]

[In the third year of battle… you sensed a familiar presence approaching—it’s Tang Yi Yi!]

[Upon seeing reinforcements on the way, you boldly threw the match as planned.]

[In the end, you were severely injured by the Shadow Deity and fell unconscious…]

[Tang Yi Yi timely intervened and successfully killed the Shadow Deity!]

[…]

[Upon regaining consciousness, Tang Yi Yi was still by your side, and your injuries had mostly healed.]

[The first thing you did was check for changes in your cultivation level.]

[But to your disappointment, there was no growth in your cultivation at all…]

In reality, Su Xing saw this and frowned slightly.

“As expected, throwing the match cannot trigger the Heart of Strong?”

Su Xing regretted it somewhat, as he began to piece together the mechanism for triggering the Heart of Strong talent.

The Heart of Strong—true to its name—requires facing the strongest forces, without regret or hesitation.

Even if you ultimately fail, as long as there remains a glimmer of survival, your power will increase!

And how could a true strong person “throw the match”?

“Although the talent description doesn’t explicitly mention it, it seems that one must give their full effort and avoid holding back to trigger the Heart of Strong, which aligns more with the stance of a true strong person…”

Su Xing muttered to himself.

In a previous simulation, Su Xing had triggered the Heart of Strong without using the “Another Shot” talent.

This was because, at that time, his strength was evenly matched with the Shadow Deity.

Now, however, Su Xing’s strength exceeded the Shadow Deity’s, making the act of throwing the match too obvious!

“Sigh, what a pity… I have to start seeking a new target for triggering the Heart of Strong again!”

Su Xing lamented slightly.

Another excellent “experience bounty” had slipped away.

Next, to trigger the Heart of Strong, Su Xing would need to face enemies at the Taiyi Golden Immortal rank!

“Well then, if the Heart of Strong cannot be triggered… let’s return to cultivation!”

…

[The Heart of Strong wasn’t triggered. Though disappointed, you quickly composed yourself and resumed cultivation.]

[In the following years, you and Tang Yi Yi jointly fought against the Foreign Race, occasionally sparring and trading victories.]

[In the year 1010, you bid farewell to Tang Yi Yi and secluded yourself for cultivation.]

[This seclusion lasted nearly 300 years!]

[When the year reached 1300, you successfully emerged from seclusion.]

[Through over two centuries of intense cultivation, your cultivation level finally advanced to the late stage of Golden Immortal Fourth Weight!]

[Simultaneously, the Origin Force Tree within you had grown to a height of two zhang and three chi!]

[Your Spirit Domain had expanded to a range of 21,000 miles…]

[In this year, you learned that Foreign Races from the Eighth Heavenly Layer would descend upon this realm.]

[Faced with the siege of Taiyi Golden Immortal-ranked Foreign Races, you were no match…]

[You were unwilling to let this simulation end so easily…]

[Fortunately, you had already prepared a method to extend the simulation duration!]

In reality, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly.

In a previous simulation, Su Xing had already planned to prolong the simulation duration.

“Since the Foreign Race is formidable in the Nine Heavens Domain, I shall transform into the guise of Inferior Demon Armor… With this, I can definitely extend the simulation!”
