C567 – Upgrade Completed

A beam of light emanated from the young man’s eyes, as if he had traversed through time and space, witnessing ancient times.

The dog’s body tensed up. Its master’s strength had once again increased, and it feared that he was now close to reaching the true overlord realm.

Having already experienced his master’s incredible power, what astonished the dog more was Zhang Xuan’s strength.

Like its master, Zhang Xuan had transcended the limitations of cultivation base; their true might couldn’t be gauged.

The dog’s heart brimmed with even more killing intent upon seeing the illusory figure.

His master had mentioned the possibility of three rulers emerging in this era. Unless something unexpected occurred, Yin Tianzi was almost certain to become one.

As for Master, being on par with Yin Tianzi’s expertise made it highly likely for him to become a ruler too. The aura Master exuded just now confirmed this.

In other words, if he desired to become a ruler, he would have to compete with others for the remaining spot.

Currently, Zhang Xuan and the Qilin presented the greatest potential for becoming the ruler. Hence, he needed to seize an opportunity to eliminate both Zhang Xuan and the Qilin.

He would crush any obstacle in his path, even if it meant going against his own master.

The dog shot a quick glance at the young man, anticipating the day his master would break through to the next realm. The one who achieved the breakthrough would become the strongest, but also the weakest. At that moment, he would strike.

However, it felt like a wrong notion. After all, the time spent with his master had been joyful. Yet, as years passed and time’s influence lingered, the bond between them gradually faded.

The dog looked at the young man, realizing there wasn’t much time left. Zhang Xuan’s strength had been advancing too rapidly.

Delaying further, he feared that Zhang Xuan would have already broken through when his chance arose.

His frustration grew as Zhang Xuan’s daughter foiled his plan.

The youth cast a sidelong glance at the dog, intensifying the disdain in the depths of his eyes.

There was nothing wrong with aspiring to break through to the Sovereign Realm. A life without ambition was an incomplete life.

However, killing off competitors solely for his own breakthrough indicated cowardly behavior. This dog had truly changed.

The youth didn’t pay too much attention to the dog. It wasn’t worth his focus. What surprised him was Zhang Xuan’s appearance.

This person truly deserved the title of the beloved child of the new world. His cultivation speed was unbelievably fast.

The word ‘luck’ might be vague and intangible, and he had never seen himself as a destined son, but destiny was an undeniable force.

“The great calamity is coming!”

The impending wind and rain filled the young man’s face with concern.

“Zhang Xuan, you’re still too weak. You must grow quickly. That way, things will get more interesting.”

As he spoke, the young man gazed at the ethereal figure in the Void, which was gradually fading away.

Glancing at it briefly, he casually settled back into the deck chair.

The dog glanced at the young man, uncertainty flashing in its eyes. Finally, it gritted its teeth and transformed into a black-clothed man, tearing apart the fabric of space and departing.

The young man glanced in the direction where the dog had vanished, saying, “Tengu, as a brother who has lived for hundreds of millions of years, I’ll give you a chance. It’s all up to you. Succeed, and I’ll help you become the ruler. Otherwise…”

……

“Buzz!”

The Void quivered slightly, seemingly under the pressure of an imposing force.

Zhang Xuan silently comprehended the changes in his body. In this moment, he felt like a newborn baby, every part of him at complete ease.

With a flick of his hand, a Great Dao manifested before him, stretching over a thousand meters in length and ten thousand meters in width. Above the Great Dao, a faint star sparkled in the sky, casting a peculiar aura over the space.

Zhang Xuan approached Luhuang, who had suffered serious injuries. Swiftly, Zhang Xuan began acupuncture using a golden needle and prepared medicinal concoctions.

Outside, the commotion grew louder, yet they showed no intention of barging in. Zhang Xuan welcomed their hesitation.

In this moment, Luhuang couldn’t move even if he wanted to. Otherwise, he would have fled long ago.

A fragrant scent of medicine wafted out. When the Death Monarch outside the valley caught a whiff of it, he paused for a moment, then widened his eyes and sniffed the air.

“Bang!”

There was an expert whose strength was on the verge of breaking through. Surprisingly, after catching a whiff of this fragrance, he actually made a breakthrough.

The eyes of everyone around turned a fiery red, and their gazes greedily fixed on the valley.

Something precious must be inside, capable of granting them a breakthrough!

Their breaths grew agitated, yet they were also aware of the presence of a tremendously powerful expert within the valley.

A few Ghost Monarchs floated restlessly back and forth at the valley entrance.

Inside the valley.

Zhang Xuan sensed the commotion at the entrance and knew that those beings couldn’t hold themselves back any longer.

Luckily, the medicine was finally ready!

The moment he uncorked the medicine jar, an incredibly rich fragrance wafted out. The alluring essence of Taoist Charms ignited the avarice of those beings at the valley entrance.

“Roar!”

With a mighty roar, a bone dragon couldn’t hold back any longer and charged into the valley.

It craved the delicious scent of something to eat!

Zhang Xuan fed the delicacy to Luhuang. Observing Luhuang’s visible and rapid recovery from his injuries, Zhang Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

His confidence in his medical skills was unwavering.

“Roar!”

Hearing the beast’s roar, Zhang Xuan glanced at Luhuang. It seemed he would have to wait a little longer before leaving.

As he reached the outside of the wooden house, a group of skeletons rushed in. Each one was a skeleton, emitting a putrid odor, yet a peculiar golden light also emanated from them, creating an eerie sight.

“Void Divine Thunder!”

Raising his hand, Zhang Xuan summoned countless bolts of lightning from the sky, causing a series of explosive sounds.

Across from him, the skeleton ranks shattered one by one due to the relentless lightning, even those at a distance were mostly affected, perilously close to being obliterated.

Some of those with apparent Spiritual Wisdom turned and fled in silence upon witnessing the destruction.

However, many others continued their charge towards Zhang Xuan.

“Void folding!”

“Void Thunder!”

These two supernatural powers alternated in activation, reminding Zhang Xuan of his past experiences playing online games.

“If only I had experience in fighting monsters!”

Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but think.

“‘Ding… system upgrade completed!'”

“Boom!”

He raised his hand, and a bolt of lightning struck down, obliterating a skeleton.

“‘Ding… you have killed Bone Dragon, Great Dao + 0.5 meters!'”

“‘Ding… you have killed Bone Dragon, Great Dao + 1 meter!'”

“‘Ding…'”

Hearing the system voice, Zhang Xuan was left dumbfounded.

“Roar!”

Most of the skeletons had already been defeated. Although their Spiritual Wisdom was extremely low, they regained their senses at that moment and roared menacingly at Zhang Xuan before turning to flee.

“You want to run?”

These were all part of the experience!

Zhang Xuan had finally recaptured the feeling of playing online games.
