Chapter 353 - 303: Devouring Spiritual Treasures, Late-stage Void Refining

Chapter 353 -302-303: Devouring Spiritual Treasures, Late-stage Void Refining

Inside the Meditation Room, Xu Chang’an sat cross-legged.

He continuously devoured a ceaseless stream of Artifact Spirit Energy.

Surges of heat washed over his entire body.

“It’s not enough! More!”

Xu Chang’an’s Demon Sense delved into the Purple Jade Gourd, continuing to devour the Artifact Spirit.

BOOM!

Streams of Energy gathered once more.

The panel was tyrannical, devouring all things!

A long time later, Xu Chang’an slowly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing within them.

Name: Xu Chang’an

Bloodline: Thunder Flame Rat (Hong-level Bloodline)

Lifespan: 16,892,000 years

Realm: Early-stage Void Refining

Skills: Alchemy (Tier Three Middle Grade)

Energy: (8,035,173/8,000,000)

…

‘Eight million Energy! That’s enough!’

The cave residence he rented in this Demon City was not cheap. Its defensive Array and Power of Concealment and Breath Control were extremely strong.

Moreover, he had set up an additional Array outside the Meditation Room, which would minimize the disturbance from his breakthrough!

Besides, while a Void Refining Demon Race member was strong and considered a core force in a Great Realm, they were nothing special within Kongchen Demon City.

Even if he were discovered, it wouldn’t attract too much attention!

‘Break through!’

As Xu Chang’an’s Demon Sense focused, an aura surged from within him.

BOOM!

It was as if some shackle within his body had been shattered.

His aura continuously converged and transformed.

As he broke through, Xu Chang’an’s body also underwent constant changes.

Advancing from Early-stage Void Refining to Mid-stage Void Refining was just a minor realm breakthrough, but for the vast majority of the Demon Race, it was a bottleneck they might never overcome in their entire lives.

But with the help of his panel, Xu Chang’an could do it with ease.

After a long time.

‘Mid-stage Void Refining!’

Feeling the unprecedented power and immense Primordial Spirit Power coursing through him, Xu Chang’an was filled with joy.

‘My Demon Body and Spirit are comparable to the finest among Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures, and my claws and fangs have truly entered the realm of Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures! As I am now, though I’m at Mid-stage Void Refining, with a physique like this, I doubt even a Late-stage Void Refining Demon Race member could match me!’

‘Now that my Cultivation has broken through and my Primordial Spirit Power is immense, the many Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure Spirits will all become sustenance for my foundation!’

‘However, I’ve just broken through, so I still need to consolidate my Realm. The devouring can wait.’

With his mind made up, Xu Chang’an closed his eyes again to stabilize his condition.

「Three years passed in the blink of an eye!」

Thanks to the panel’s perfect breakthroughs, Xu Chang’an needed very little effort to consolidate his Cultivation.

Three years was more than enough time for him to completely solidify his Realm!

Inside the Meditation Room, a thought crossed Xu Chang’an’s mind.

Streaks of magnificent, multicolored light appeared before him.

‘Demon-Revealing Mirror, Wind-stabilizing Pearl, Yin Yang Diagram, White Jade Ruyi, Cyan Lotus Treasure Flag, Eight Trigrams Cloud Light Cloth, Earth-Departing Flame Light Bamboo, Fire Dragon Banner…’

These were all the Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures he had previously obtained—sixteen in total!

‘Next up is a massive surge in my strength!’

His Primordial Spirit Power erupted, and an ancient, bronze-colored mirror appeared in Xu Chang’an’s hand.

‘Let’s start with you!’

As his Primordial Spirit Power delved into the Demon-Revealing Mirror, he felt as if he had arrived in a vast world.

In a corner of this world, he found the location of the Demon-Revealing Mirror’s Artifact Spirit.

The Artifact Spirit of a Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure already possessed considerable Spiritual Wisdom. Although it couldn’t freely communicate with the Spiritual Treasure’s owner, it could perceive the outside world and was aware of certain things.

Xu Chang’an had not refined the Demon-Revealing Mirror, so he was naturally not its master.

The Artifact Spirit instinctively felt fear at the invasion of Xu Chang’an’s Primordial Spirit Power.

Feeling the surrounding space press down on his Primordial Spirit Power, Xu Chang’an smiled faintly.

‘This is the strong resistance from the Spiritual Treasure Spirit!’

‘If I were still at Early-stage Void Refining, I probably would have had to retreat in defeat. But now…’

“Hmph!”

“Such a paltry glow, and you dare to shine!”

His immense Primordial Spirit Power erupted with a BOOM, relentlessly invading the Demon-Revealing Mirror.

Xu Chang’an and the Artifact Spirit were like two sides warring for territory, encroaching and carving out domains.

As time passed bit by bit, Xu Chang’an’s advantage grew larger and larger.

Finally, as the Artifact Spirit’s last means of resistance was overcome by Xu Chang’an’s Primordial Spirit Power, he took complete control of the world within the Demon-Revealing Mirror.

‘Devour!’

BOOM!

The Spirituality of a Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure’s Artifact Spirit was incredibly rich, far beyond what an Ordinary Spiritual Treasure could compare to.

As Xu Chang’an devoured it, immense waves of Spiritual Energy surged into his body.

The sheer immensity of the Energy was so great that even with Xu Chang’an’s Demon Body and Spirit, he felt a faint sense of discomfort.

However, this uncomfortable feeling did not last long.

The Spiritual Energy inside his body began to be absorbed by the panel.

On the panel, the numbers surged wildly.

“50,000!”

“100,000!”

“200,000!”

“…”

Once all the Spiritual Energy within the Demon-Revealing Mirror was devoured, its Grade fell completely, and it was no longer considered a Spiritual Treasure.

Xu Chang’an had already accumulated a very considerable amount of Energy.

‘2,350,000 Energy!’

Xu Chang’an was quite pleased.

A single Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure had allowed him to accumulate 2,350,000 Energy.

By that rough estimate, sixteen Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures would bring him over thirty million Energy for his panel!

‘In that case…’

‘Continue!’

A seemingly ordinary, perfectly round pearl appeared before Xu Chang’an.

The Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure, the Wind-stabilizing Pearl!

Following the same pattern, Xu Chang’an used the same trick again. His Primordial Spirit Power erupted as he began to invade the Wind-stabilizing Pearl.

After expending a large amount of Primordial Spirit Power, Xu Chang’an finally broke through the Defense of the Wind-stabilizing Pearl’s Artifact Spirit.

‘Begin devouring!’

BOOM!

Streams of Spiritual Energy continuously entered his body.

The numbers on the panel surged.

“2,500,000!”

“2,800,000!”

“3,500,000!”
