Chapter 1085 Breakthrough to Second-Rank Golden Immortal
In the chaotic void, Su Mo stood with his hands behind his back. The chaotic energy surrounding him seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, trembling gently with the surging power within him, creating circles of pale golden ripples. Within these ripples, the primordial Dao patterns could be faintly seen flowing, adding a touch of holiness to the surrounding darkness.
Looking at the 821 units of Immortal True Spirits on the light screen, a burning anticipation flashed in Su Mo's eyes.
Such a piece of immortal true spirit should be able to significantly improve his cultivation.
As for the venomous curse that Ziyuan Jinxian uttered before his death, in his eyes it was nothing more than the desperate wail of a defeated beast, which did not even cause a ripple.
He had never feared the living, so why would he be afraid of a death curse? If the curse were truly effective, he would have been dead long ago, having endured countless life-and-death battles and death curses since his transmigration, leaving not even ashes behind.
The venomous intent contained within the curse had only circulated within his body for half a breath before it was keenly detected. A barely perceptible sneer appeared on Su Mo's lips, and his Primordial Immortal Power suddenly swirled within him, like an invisible millstone, instantly annihilating the curse power that had just entered his body into nothingness, leaving not even a wisp of remnant spirit.
"Let's choose to break through right here."
Su Mo surveyed his surroundings, the chaotic energy flowing beneath his eyes, sweeping across an area spanning tens of millions of eons in a fraction of a second. Confirming no one was watching, he slowly sat down cross-legged. Although this battle had lasted nearly ten million years, the surrounding immortal array remained largely undamaged. Its runes still glowed with a ghostly light, like slumbering dragons weaving together into an impenetrable barrier, sufficient to completely conceal any unusual phenomena that might arise during his breakthrough, eliminating the need for further preparations.
"Imbuing the Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Scripture."
With a low shout, Su Mo's Primordial Immortal Power surged within him, like a tsunami. He directly pushed the Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Scripture to its limit, and the syllables of the scripture exploded in his sea of consciousness, transforming into countless golden rays that merged into his limbs and bones.
[You continued cultivating the Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Scripture. After one cosmic era, you successfully refined five units of Immortal True Spirit, and your Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Body broke through to the Lesser Completion of the First Grade.]
In an instant, golden light emanated from his body, like a newly risen sun. His bones emitted a clear, melodious sound, like jade striking against jade. Faint primordial Dao patterns appeared on every inch of his skin, like a flowing totem of the Great Dao, exuding an ancient and majestic aura, as if it had existed since the beginning of the primordial world.
[Three cosmic eras later, you successfully refined 25 units of Immortal True Spirit, and your Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Body broke through to the first-grade Great Perfection.]
A boundless power surged within him, like a river bursting its banks. The chaotic energy surrounding him vanished into nothingness, revealing a crystal-clear vacuum. Fine, scale-like patterns appeared on the surface of his immortal body—marks condensed from the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos. Each pattern contained the supreme power to suppress chaos, and even the slightest movement stirred up howling gales.
[Ten cosmic eras later, you successfully refined 125 units of Immortal True Spirit, and your Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Body broke through to the Great Perfection of the First Grade.]
At this moment, Su Mo's aura was not much weaker than that of Zi Yuan Jin Xian, a second-grade perfected golden immortal. Just by sitting quietly, he caused the chaos of billions of years to tremble, and caused the immortal arrays around him to bloom with dazzling immortal light. The array patterns seemed to come alive and move around, resonating with his aura.
[After another ten cosmic eras of arduous cultivation, you have successfully refined 625 units of Immortal True Spirit, and your Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Body has broken through to the entry level of the second rank.]
......
"boom......"
The moment he broke through to the second rank, the remaining Immortal True Spirit was refined at an unimaginable speed, like a flood bursting its banks. In the blink of an eye, the remaining 666 units of Immortal True Spirit were completely depleted, leaving only a mere 41 units. An Immortal Power so immense that even a Perfected Second Rank Golden Immortal like the Purple Origin Golden Immortal felt a chill run down his spine surged into his Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Body without warning, washing over every inch of his flesh and blood, every wisp of his soul like a tsunami.
The Primordial Immortal Realm, formed by the fusion of trillions of cells in the cosmic sea, rapidly transformed and perfected under the influence of this power. The cosmic sea within the realm was constantly changing, and the laws were interwoven into a net, causing its size to increase more than tenfold. Even compared to the Profound True Immortal Realm, it was not much smaller. Streams of Primordial Rule Power, like Primordial True Dragons with distinct scales and claws, constantly traversed and roamed within the Immortal Realm, emitting deafening dragon roars that resounded deep within his soul. Countless insights into the Primordial Great Dao exploded in his sea of consciousness like a cosmic storm, causing the nascent Primordial Immortal Great Dao to grow rapidly at a visible speed. Hundreds of millions of rays of light shone from the Dao Foundation, illuminating the entire sea of consciousness as if it were daytime, and even the chaotic barrier at the edge of the sea of consciousness was tinged with gold.
At the same time, his strength, aura, and spiritual power all surged wildly at an alarming rate, almost breaking through the shackles of his physical body. A pressure that could shatter the constraints of heaven and earth emanated from his body, causing the surrounding chaos to sink slightly.
Around the chaos, the primordial immortal arrays seemed to be stimulated to the extreme. Array patterns intertwined and collided, like countless chains binding together, forming an impenetrable cocoon of light. The cocoon was inscribed with runes that suppressed eternity, firmly suppressing and sealing Su Mo's ever-increasing aura and strange phenomena within. No matter how the terrifying power surged and collided within, the cocoon of light remained unmoved, not leaking even a trace of its aura, ensuring that this chaos maintained its deathly stillness.
.......
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.
Su Mo slowly opened his eyes. Two beams of primordial purple energy flashed in his eyes, like two sharp swords piercing through the chaos. Then all the brilliance disappeared, leaving only a deep calm, as if it contained the birth and death of the entire universe.
Then, he gently clenched his fist, feeling the immortal power surging within him like a mighty river—that power was more than a hundred times greater than before his breakthrough, and even the residual force flowing from his fingertips could easily tear apart the chaotic airflow, causing fine cracks to appear in the void. A satisfied smile involuntarily curved the corners of his mouth.
With his Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Body at the second-grade entry level, combined with his first-grade perfect Golden Immortal cultivation, his main body's combat power has far surpassed that of Zi Yuan Golden Immortal, a second-grade perfect Golden Immortal. Even when facing some third-grade early-stage Golden Immortals, he is confident that he can fight them head-on without being at a disadvantage.
Although the illusory bodies are slightly inferior, they are still very close to the combat power of a third-grade Golden Immortal. Once all 1800 illusory bodies are deployed and the Thousand Gods Formation is set up, the combined power will be enough to shake the heavens and the earth, and the overall combat power will not be much inferior to that of a fifth-grade Golden Immortal.
Even if they can't win, it shouldn't be a big problem for them to escape unscathed.
Suddenly, Su Mo seemed to realize something, his brows furrowing slightly, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes. It's a pity, unlike before, when breakthroughs in major realms were aided by a cheat system, allowing for direct advancement with minimal effort. If he still possessed those 625 units of Immortal True Spirit, perhaps even his cultivation could break through its shackles in one fell swoop, reaching the perfect second-grade Golden Immortal realm. At that time, his overall strength would surge dramatically, and unless a sixth-grade Golden Immortal appeared, few would be his match.
Unfortunately, there aren't that many perfect things in the world.
Moreover, after attaining immortality, both advancement in cultivation and tempering of the immortal body require the guidance of an immortal true spirit. Ordinary immortal spiritual energy is like a drop in the ocean, utterly ineffective. Even if he were willing to risk being detected for his abnormality and try to absorb the massive amount of immortal spiritual energy around him to break through, it would be a pipe dream.
However, this slight regret quickly vanished from Su Mo's eyes. Compared to other immortal golden immortals, his breakthrough speed was already like a rocket, so what more could he ask for? Just think of the Purple Origin Golden Immortals, who had proven their Dao for hundreds of thousands of cosmic eras, yet remained stuck at the first or second grade golden immortal realm, unable to make any further progress—that was true despair.
"Once my illusory body returns from the Nine Immortal Realms, I should also head to the desolate Star Abyss." Su Mo slightly turned his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through endless chaos as he looked towards the Nine Immortal Realms, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. The Nine Immortal Golden Immortals have managed treasures spanning hundreds of thousands of cosmic eras; surely there are many fine items among them.
Long before he obliterated the immortal souls of the Purple Origin Golden Immortal and others, he had already dispatched nine illusory spirit bodies to the nine immortal realms to plunder the wealth of those Golden Immortals. Although his current breakthrough mainly relies on immortal true spirits, immortal elixirs are not entirely useless to him—if he were willing to cultivate in seclusion, using elixirs in conjunction with his cultivation techniques, he could still slowly improve his cultivation. Furthermore, even if he couldn't use them himself, exchanging them for immortal true spirits might yield some good fortune.
......
Spring goes and autumn comes, cold comes and heat goes, and soon another 300,000 years have passed.
"Whoosh..."
A streak of azure light sped from the depths of chaos in the distance, tearing through the dark void and creating a series of tiny spatial ripples. Like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, its speed was so great that even a first-grade Golden Immortal could not keep up.
The azure light paused slightly before Su Mo, revealing a young, illusory figure dressed in azure robes. The figure bore a resemblance to Su Mo, though his aura was somewhat weaker. He nodded slightly to Su Mo, then, like a drop of water merging into the ocean, swiftly entered Su Mo's body, transforming into a stream of light that merged into his soul.
"The last illusory spirit body has returned, and the foundations of the nine immortal realms have been fully acquired... It's time to set off for the Void Star Abyss!"
