Chapter 98: Eternal Body Cultivation
Chapter 98: Eternal Body Cultivation
Victor suddenly froze.
His body became completely motionless as a thought flashed through his mind like a bolt of lightning.
His eyes slowly widened.
"Damn... I almost forgot."
A moment later, a smile began spreading across his face.
"I can evolve other things too."
His heartbeat accelerated as excitement surged through his entire body.
He had been so focused on evolving himself that he had completely overlooked the most obvious possibility.
His weapon.
The crimson demonic sword resting in his hand.
Victor immediately raised his head.
"System."
"If I gather ten million Evolution Points, does that mean this sword can evolve into a Grade 8 weapon?"
The World System answered without hesitation.
[Correct.]
Victor’s smile instantly widened.His thoughts raced at an unbelievable speed.
If a Grade 7 weapon could become Grade 8...
Then perhaps a Grade 8 weapon could evolve into Grade 9.
He took a deep breath to calm himself before asking another question.
"Then calculate something for me.
How many monsters currently exist across the entire planet?
And if I slaughter every single one of them...
How many Evolution Points would I obtain?"
The World System became completely silent.
Several seconds later, it replied.
[Based on the current monster population, eliminating every monster on the planet would grant approximately 10 billion Evolution Points.]
Ten million points were required merely to evolve the Demonic Sword into Grade 8.
He didn’t know if the amount would be enough to upgrade it to the grade 9 or not.
His fingers gently tightened around the crimson hilt.
This sword was different from ordinary weapons.
By continuously absorbing mana, it could become Grade 7.
Even the nearly invincible Demonic Dragons had been sliced apart like soft butter beneath its edge.
If it reached Grade 8...
Its power would increase to an entirely different realm.
And if it somehow reached Grade 9...
Victor’s eyes narrowed.
The sleeping Apocalyptic Behemoth.
That terrifying existence remained Ethereum’s greatest hidden threat.
If it awakened today, neither he nor Diana possessed enough strength to stop it.
Even working together, they would most likely lose.
But a Grade 9 weapon...
That might completely change everything.
Perhaps...
He could kill the monster before it had the chance to destroy humanity.
Just as Victor was considering the countless possibilities this opened, Nova’s gentle voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"Victor.
There are still several inheritances Master left for you as his disciple.
Would you like to see them now?"
Victor blinked.
"Oh? What else is there?"
His curiosity immediately grew.
If the sword and the cosmic vine had already reached such unbelievable standards...
Then anything given by this supremely powerful master of his would surely be good.
Nova smiled softly.
"Master personally created a Body Cultivation Technique. It contains a total of ten layers.
According to Master himself...
If someone successfully cultivates all ten layers, they will obtain an Undying Body."
Victor’s breathing slowed.
Nova continued.
"Even if such a person dies completely...
As long as even a single living cell remains...
Their body can regenerate back to its complete form."
Victor’s pupils contracted violently.
Regeneration...
From a single cell?
That was no longer regeneration. That was immortality.
Nova’s tone became slightly complicated.
"However...
Even Master himself has never reached the Tenth Layer."
Victor was genuinely shocked.
The creator of the technique never reached the final level? Then how did he know it would make someone immortal?
Sensing Victor’s thought, Nova said in a calm voice.
"Though master hasn’t reached that level, the 9th layer already made him semi immortal and it is said that he too got this technique from somewhere else and only did some modifications in it."
Only then Victor nodded in understanding.
Nova continued after that,
"Master accepted many disciples throughout countless years.
He evaluated their talent using this cultivation technique.
He once said...
If anyone could successfully cultivate to the Seventh Layer through their own abilities..."
"He would personally accept that disciple as his sole heir."
Victor frowned.
"Only the Seventh Layer?"
Nova smiled.
"Master believed reaching the Seventh Layer without assistance already proved enough talent to inherit everything he possessed."
Victor’s heart began pounding again. Becoming the sole heir of a supreme being. How awesome that would be?
"Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"
His voice carried obvious excitement.
Nova helplessly replied,
"I never had the opportunity.
The moment we returned to the surface, the World System immediately took you away.
After that...
You became occupied with one matter after another. There simply wasn’t an appropriate chance."
Victor thought about it before nodding.
She was right.
Everything had happened too quickly.
"Then give me the technique."
Nova gently waved her hand.
A beautiful ancient scroll suddenly appeared before Victor before falling directly into his hands.
He carefully caught it.
The scroll felt ancient beyond imagination.
Its surface was covered with mysterious golden inscriptions that seemed almost alive.
Victor slowly opened it.
At the very top were three magnificent words.
Eternal Body Cultivation.
Even the name alone radiated overwhelming confidence.
Victor immediately continued reading.
According to the introduction, the first requirement was to absorb a Grade 8 or higher bloodline through an extremely special refinement method.
That bloodline would become the body’s absolute foundation.
Only after establishing that foundation could one begin cultivating the technique.
The practitioner would continuously absorb external energy while tempering every cell, every bone, every muscle, and every drop of blood.
Each breakthrough transformed the body into an entirely new level.
The stronger the bloodline...
The higher one could theoretically climb.
A Grade 8 bloodline allowed cultivation up to the Seventh Layer.
Anything beyond that required an even more terrifying bloodline.
Victor slowly nodded.
The concept itself was simple.
The difficulty however was horrifying.
The scroll clearly stated that every breakthrough carried nearly a ninety percent chance of death.
Failure meant complete destruction.
Success required overwhelming talent.
Perfect control.
Unbreakable willpower.
Extraordinary comprehension.
And luck powerful enough to defy heaven itself.
No wonder his master valued this technique so highly.
Anyone capable of reaching the Seventh Layer alone truly deserved to inherit everything.
Victor continued reading.
His eyes became brighter with every paragraph.
The abilities described inside were enough to drive any person insane.
1st Layer: Regenerative Body: The body’s natural regeneration becomes 100 times faster than normal, allowing wounds, broken bones, and severed limbs to heal rapidly.
2nd Layer: Poisonless Body: Absolute immunity to all poisons, toxins, venoms, diseases, and harmful chemical substances. Nothing can corrupt or poison the body.
3rd Layer: Plague-Proof Body: Absolute immunity to all viruses, bacteria, fungi, prions, and parasites. The body becomes self-sterilizing, preventing any harmful organism from surviving or reproducing within it.
4th Layer: Environmental Nullification: The body instantly adapts to any environment, including absolute zero, star-core heat, crushing pressure, vacuum, and lethal radiation. External conditions can never hinder regeneration.
5th Layer: Indestructible Frame: Bones, muscles, tendons, and skin become incredibly durable. Blunt, slashing, and piercing attacks are reduced to superficial wounds before regeneration even begins.
6th Layer: Endless Stamina: The body continuously absorbs external energy or converts internal energy directly into stamina. Exhaustion becomes nearly impossible, allowing endless combat. Only in a completely energyless environment, with all internal energy depleted, can the body finally run out of stamina.
7th Layer: Soul and Mind Fortress: Complete immunity to mental attacks, fear, illusions, memory manipulation, possession, and soul attacks. The consciousness exists within every cell, allowing the mind to survive even if the brain is destroyed.
Victor slowly lowered the scroll. His breathing had become noticeably heavier.
Only seven layers...
Yet every single one sounded more unbelievable than the last.
Especially the Seventh Layer.
If his consciousness truly existed within every cell...
Then killing him would become unimaginably difficult.
He looked toward the remaining blank pages.
There was nothing else.
Apparently, the final three layers had not been included.
Victor guessed they could only be obtained after meeting his mysterious master in person.
Even so...
These seven layers alone were already priceless beyond imagination.
He unconsciously swallowed.
"This...
...is the ultimate treasure."
Then another question surfaced inside his mind.
"If reaching the Seventh Layer requires a Grade 8 bloodline...
Where would Master’s disciples obtain something that precious?"
Before Victor could even ask aloud, Nova smiled knowingly.
"I already know what you are wondering."
A crystal vial appeared inside Victor palm.
Inside flowed brilliant golden blood that emitted overwhelming life force.
"Master prepared this vial for his every disciple.
He prepared a vial containing a genuine Grade 8 bloodline.
I will personally help you establish the foundation."
Victor stared silently at the shimmering blood.
Even through the sealed vial, he could feel the terrifying pressure radiating from it.
His heart began beating wildly once again.
"Really?"
A grin slowly appeared across his face.
"Then let’s begin.
I need this body as soon as possible.
The enemies I face are becoming stronger every single day.
If my body cannot keep up...
It will eventually become my greatest weakness."
Nova smiled and gently nodded.
"Very well.Prepare yourself.
The pain...
...will be far greater than anything you have ever experienced."
