Chapter 428: Chapter 347: Tree Demon, Black-Scaled Giant Beast, Dao Platform 2nd Layer Heaven
’Even with cheats, it would be impossible to do this so quickly.’
’Just as I thought.’
’Cultivation really does require the backing of a major power. That’s the only way to leverage their strength, obtain vast resources, and shorten the time needed to cultivate.’
In the blink of an eye.
Another day passed in the Profound Yellow Realm.
Correspondingly.
One hundred thousand days passed in the Level 22 Beastman Mini World.
...
[Chaos Sword Dao Level 2: 220/200 Septillion (Upgradeable!) (...)]
...
[Beastman Mini World Level 22: 20/20 Septillion (Upgradeable!) (...)]
...
’Looks like they’re both ready to be upgraded.’
Xu Qing looked pleased, a smile spreading across his face. ’Whether it’s for the Chaos Sword Dao or the Beastman Mini World, I’m gaining so many Experience Points every day. It’s not just because I can absorb and refine Top-grade World Foundation Stones and Middle-grade World Foundation Stones... it’s also because my own cultivation has reached the Sixth Realm.’
’The higher my Realm, the faster I can practice my Cultivation Techniques.’
"Upgrade!"
HUM!
With a single thought.
Xu Qing’s consciousness connected to the Encyclopedia of All Things. "Upgrade the Beastman Mini World."
As expected.
The Beastman Mini World began to transform, generating an immense fluctuation. This time, the disturbance was even greater than the one from the previous upgrade.
ROAR! ROAR!
The next moment.
Xu Qing’s brow furrowed. Because the time between the two upgrades was so short, each one had caused a significant disturbance. Vast amounts of Chaos Qi had surged into the Level 22 Beastman Mini World to raise its upper limit...
And so.
The disturbances from the two upgrades compounded, attracting yet another large group of Chaos Creatures—one hundred and twenty-eight of them this time.
Among them.
A full nine were Chaos Creatures comparable to the Daoist Venerable Realm.
’They’re here again.’
Xu Qing took a deep breath. Without a moment’s hesitation, he stepped out of the Level 22 Beastman Mini World. His Chaos Dharma Aspect materialized in the Sea of Chaos—an incredibly majestic figure standing guard right before the mini world.
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!!!
All around.
The Chaos Qi surged and roiled. One by one, Chaos Creatures became visible. In total, three different types appeared this time.
They were: Shark-Turtles, Tree Demons, and Black-Scaled Giant Beasts.
Immediately.
The one hundred and twenty-eight Chaos Creatures charged the Level 22 Beastman Mini World from all directions. Xu Qing took a deep breath, and the cries of countless swords rang out.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!!
The cries of swords echoed all around.
One after another, Level 120 items and equipment appeared around Xu Qing, forming a sixteen-layered True Dao Realm that enhanced his strength and combat power.
HUM! HUM!
Simultaneously.
He was also boosted by the Heavenly Dao Power from the Level 22 Beastman Mini World.
Finally.
BOOM!
With a single thought, Xu Qing further mobilized the Power of Origin from the Grand Thousand Worlds stored inside him. With all these powers stacked together, even though he was only in the Dao Platform Realm, he had enough strength to slay a Daoist Venerable Realm being.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!!!"
CLANG!
Xu Qing charged into the fray, unleashing countless streams of Sword Qi. He didn’t use any Dao Communication Techniques, but the power of each slash was unbelievable, even surpassing ordinary Dao Communication Techniques.
Needless to say.
Xu Qing’s combat prowess was utterly terrifying.
SHINK! SHINK! SHINK!!!
ROAR!!!
Xu Qing faced the horde alone. Although these Chaos Creatures were powerful and terrifyingly large—with some even reaching a size comparable to an ordinary great world—
However.
Xu Qing cut them down one by one. Chaos Creature after Chaos Creature fell to his sword. As the fierce battles raged, Xu Qing grew more and more proficient in wielding his own power.
"Die!"
SHINK!
Xu Qing roared, his Chaos Holy Sword slashing about. With a downward strike, he slew the final Chaos Creature comparable to the Daoist Venerable Realm—the Black-Scaled Giant Beast. The terrifying Sword Aura carved a scar into the Sea of Chaos before him.
"Huuuh..."
Xu Qing let out a long breath and looked around. The corpses of the Chaos Creatures were being assimilated by the Chaos Qi, dissolving into countless wisps of energy and merging back into the Sea of Chaos.
This time.
Xu Qing had slain one hundred and twenty-eight Chaos Creatures but hadn’t obtained a single Stone of Chaos. This just went to show that managing to get an ordinary Low-grade Chaos Stone last time was a complete fluke.
Next.
Xu Qing scanned his surroundings. Confirming that there were no more traces or auras of Chaos Creatures, his Chaos Dharma Aspect vanished with a thought. He had returned to the Level 22 Beastman Mini World, back to the Celestial Dao Space.
...
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Beastman Mini World LV23: 0/40 Septillion (A further evolved Grand Thousand World. Its World Rank has reached the ’Ordinary Level 3’ tier...)]
...
"Good."
Xu Qing nodded slightly, quite satisfied. With the Beastman Mini World now at Level 23, another vast surge of Power of Origin from a Grand Thousand World flowed into him, which he promptly stored away inside his body.
Xu Qing could mobilize the Power of Origin from the Grand Thousand Worlds stored in his body at any time, and it could amplify his combat power.
It also had various other uses.
It was almost like a kind of omnipotent energy.
HUM!
With a thought.
Xu Qing’s figure vanished into thin air. He had temporarily left the Level 23 Beastman Mini World and returned to the Profound Yellow Realm, back to his Sword One Dojo on Shu Mountain.
Immediately after.
Xu Qing went directly to his Seclusion Chamber.
"Upgrade."
Without hesitation.
Xu Qing’s consciousness connected to the Encyclopedia of All Things. "Upgrade the Chaos Sword Dao."
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!!
Xu Qing’s consciousness roared and vibrated as the sound of countless swords rang in his ears. His consciousness was pulled into an extremely mysterious world.
Afterward.
Xu Qing’s consciousness transformed into a strange existence within this mysterious world. In the endless, vast darkness, it came face-to-face with the ’Chaos Sword Dao’.
HUM! HUM!
And so.
Xu Qing stared directly at the Sword Dao, comprehending the Sword Dao, perceiving the Dao Rhyme of the Sword Dao...
...
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Chaos Sword Dao Level 3: 20/400 Septillion (Chaos Sword Dao: Evolve Chaos with the Sword Dao, command all techniques with the Sword Dao, condense Sword Dao Rhyme, and condense the Chaos Sword Dao Platform to the Second Layer Heaven.)]
...
BOOM!
Xu Qing opened his eyes, feeling a sudden wave of enlightenment. A vast Sword Dao Rhyme surged into his body, merging into his Chaos Sword Dao’s Dao Platform.
Immediately.
Xu Qing’s Dao Platform condensed a second layer.
In this way.
Xu Qing’s cultivation rose as naturally as water flowing into a channel. Although it was just the rise of a small level, he had reached the ’Dao Platform Second Layer Heaven’.
"Dao Platform Second Layer Heaven."
Xu Qing murmured, feeling out his own power. Dao Rhythm Power spread throughout his body, covering him completely and causing his entire body to undergo a further transformation.
’In that case...’
Xu Qing’s expression turned thoughtful. ’I’ll probably have to raise the Chaos Sword Dao to Level 10 for my cultivation and Realm to reach the Dao Platform Ninth Layer Heaven. Only then will I be qualified to break through to the Dao Palace Realm.’
"I’ll just have to take it slow, then."
"At the rate I’m gaining Experience Points now, it won’t take long to raise the Chaos Sword Dao to Level 10," Xu Qing said calmly.
Sword One Dojo.
On the open grounds of the plaza.
CLANG! CLANG!
Xu Qing held the Chaos Holy Sword. He had already upgraded the Chaos Holy Sword to Level 10. Its Mighty Power had increased many times over, and it was now an extremely terrifying Dao Artifact.
It could be called a ’Miracle Dao Artifact’.
Now.
Xu Qing practiced his Chaos Sword Dao. Countless streams of Chaos Sword Qi filled the air and Dao Rhyme flowed, evolving into a Sword Realm around him that displayed his terrifying cultivation and combat prowess.
"Not bad."
HUM!
At this moment.
Xu Qing sensed a familiar aura. He quickly stopped, and looking up, he saw his master, Chen Wangu.
But.
Xu Qing saw that Chen Wangu was covered in mottled bloodstains and radiated a terrifyingly brutal aura that made his scalp tingle.
It was utterly terrifying.
