Chapter 164: 121. The origin is from Demon Luo Heavenly Authority; meeting at the Blood Pool, the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls... signifies a destined connection.
Tan Shuchang's arduous cultivation and leveling up had not ended yet. He looked down at the struggling fierce ghosts, much like Buddha smiling and holding a flower, as the Lotus Platform blossomed with radiance.
However, seeing such a divine scene, the fierce ghosts in the Blood Pool struggled even more violently.
They clearly saw how the Greedy Venerable King had perished!
Watching this scene, Tan Shuchang couldn't help but feel moved. He pressed his hand downwards and sighed lightly, "Originates from Demon Luo Heavenly Authority! Meeting you all here is a fate enhanced by the heavenly mandate."
Tan Shuchang then thought of Buddhism's "Namo Amitabha Buddha" and Taoism's "Blessed Unbounded Heavenly Venerate." He felt that he should also have a motto of his own.
Originates from Demon Luo Heavenly Authority!
All beings seeing this Blood Pool, seeing the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, seeing the Mountain of Heads... all are fated encounters!
Suddenly, a bright bloody light erupted, and his 688 years of cultivation suppressed these fierce ghosts who, no matter their power within the eerie game, be they famous, special, unknown, or utterly ordinary, had no chance to resist at that moment.
Two hundred thirty-two fierce ghosts were completely engulfed by the bloody water and then walked out a moment later, lifting the Lotus Platform beneath Tan Shuchang as high as they could with all their strength.
The ghosts howled woefully, as if shouting "Originates from Demon Luo Heavenly Authority!"
Spirit energy surged, and Tan Shuchang's cultivation experienced another breakthrough after this rigorous cultivation, reaching 700 years!
And in the instant he broke through this 700-year boundary, even though he was in the Blood Pool, he felt a blessing endowed by heaven and earth.
"Star Fate Heaven and Earth, Heaven Mysterious, Earth Yellow?"
This breakthrough reward was not a Divine Skill but a peculiar qualification. Tan Shuchang could now use his cultivation to condense his own "Star Fate Heaven and Earth." When someone attacked him, it would trigger an aura response, causing a Star Fate counterattack.
The current Star Fate counterattack was only one kind, Vital Energy Shockwave.
If someone took action around him, it created an assault wave like the surge of water, blowing them far away.
And the more cultivation power he infused into forming this "Star Fate Heaven and Earth," the more frequent and enduring the Star Fate counterattacks would be.
The range of aura sensing would naturally expand continually as well.
Even to a certain extent, quantitative change would lead to a qualitative change, elevating the Star Fate counterattack even further.
Directly evolving into a Vital Energy Star Celestial Thunder!
Although there was only one Vital Energy Star Celestial Thunder, it could explode six times. And after the six explosions, it would directly connect to Tan Shuchang's "Star Fate Heaven and Earth," evolving into a stronger Star Fate Thunder Column.
When the Star Fate Thunder Column descended, it would directly lock onto the opponent, also generating six weaker versions of Vital Energy Star Celestial Thunder, exploding eighteen times.
The weaker versions of Vital Energy Star Celestial Thunder directly explode three times.
By this point, Tan Shuchang could look at the person who attacked him and yet did not die with an approving gaze, praising them with the words, "Not many can still live after attacking me. You are quite impressive."
Of course, to reach this extent, Tan Shuchang estimated that even if he infused one thousand years of cultivation, it would probably still not be enough...
At least it would take ten thousand years of cultivation power.
And pondering over the slightly lackluster "Star Fate Heaven and Earth" at the moment, Tan Shuchang couldn't help but contemplate, and soon he understood the real purpose of this tactic: "Such means should initially be used to interfere with Dharma Realms!"
The Living Dead Yin God, Greedy Venerable King evolved their Dharma Realms, they all had a process of condensing the power of heaven and earth, and this "Star Fate Heaven and Earth" could precisely interfere with the opponent's condensation of heaven and earth power.
"To speak precisely, the divine skills bestowed upon me by heaven and earth when my cultivation power broke through the 500-year and 600-year limits were also aimed at Dharma Realms..."
Following this line of thought, Tan Shuchang carefully considered it and then realized an aspect he had previously neglected.
Every moment is as precious as gold, these Divine Skills actually ignore the obstruction of Dharma Realms.
Melting Stone Flowing Gold could be used to directly confront Dharma Realms.
After the breakthrough of 600 years of cultivation power, the two Divine Skills bestowed by heaven and earth were Five Winds Ten Rain, Equinox Sometimes. The former could regulate the vital energies of heaven and earth but could also disturb the rules of vital energies in reverse.
The latter stored vitality, slowing down his Lifespan's decay. Once this Divine Skill was used on an Immortal, it directly made their Dharma Realm unable to manifest.
Or slowed down the manifestation speed.
Because the root of an Immortal's longevity lies above their Dharma Realm.
When their Lifespan is reduced, this effect is also reflected in their Dharma Realm!
Finally, after contemplating, Tan Shuchang once again pulled up two hundred thirty-six fierce ghosts from the Blood Pool. These ghosts howled in terror, but the bloody water had already covered them, and even the Greedy Venerable King couldn't escape, let alone these ghosts.
Thus, the Lotus Platform was lifted once again, emitting sacred golden radiance, making the entire Blood Pool seem covered with a layer of sacredness, instantly refining half of the fierce ghosts.
Then, another two hundred forty fierce ghosts headed towards the summoning of the Lotus Platform.
The gold sacred radiance suddenly intensified.
And quickly, two hundred forty-four fierce ghosts, welcomed by the bloody water and in a chorus of howls, lifted the golden Lotus Platform blooming within the Blood Pool.
This marked the end of this rigorous cultivation session for Tan Shuchang.
His cultivation power had now broken through to 736 years! Although players continuously provided Tan Shuchang with an unending stream of fierce ghosts enticed by bronze knife coins, the demand for lifting the Lotus each time exceeded two hundred, meaning that in just four attempts, nearly a thousand fierce ghosts had been used up.
