Cultivating Through The Game

Blue Sea City's western suburban battlefield.

"Martial Cultivators from other directions have already been replaced several times, only he remains active on the battlefield." Observing the Martial Cultivators retreating and changing shifts in the distance, the soldier on the wall exclaimed.

"Really fierce! One person is equivalent to hundreds of incendiary bombs; is this truly a power humans can possess?"

Some soldiers stared at the golden flames burning on the battlefield, faces numb, yet still unable to believe that humans could achieve this.

Fei Yuqing glanced at Zhou Dazhi, speechless: "He's still on the battlefield, hasn't come down?"

Zhou Dazhi also nodded helplessly; Lu Yu's Spiritual Power limit was a mystery. The flames had already engulfed a quarter of the battlefield, burning for nearly an hour, yet his Spiritual Power hadn't run out.

Even a Martial Cultivator in the Core Formation Realm couldn't rapidly replenish Spiritual Power in reality or sustain for so long.

Lu Yu's panel showed experience points exceeding ten million, with tens of thousands of demons incinerated into ashes by his Celestial Falling Bright Flame, enough flying ash filling the entire western suburb.

The flying ash lifted skyward, aggregating within the weighty dark clouds, causing them to grow larger.

Maintaining a steady output of Spiritual Power, Lu Yu's Spiritual Power could endure for a long time; however, as the flames spread over the battlefield, his Spiritual Power consumption increased.

For this reason, he had twice invigorated his Martial Technique, upgrading it to the sixteenth layer, enhancing his Spiritual Power significantly, allowing Celestial Falling Bright Flame to burn on a quarter of the battlefield for more than half an hour.

Igniting a quarter of the battlefield was Lu Yu's limit; the Celestial Falling Bright Flame that extended beyond this area would soon lose Spiritual Power support and be extinguished by the demonic aura.

By now, his Spiritual Power was nearing its limit.

The Martial Technique had already been upgraded; the enhanced Spiritual Power required digestion before further upgrading, thus unable to recover Spiritual Power through upgrading.

With Spiritual Power reaching the limit, unable to channel Spiritual Qi from the Sea's Eye to replenish his own Spiritual Power, the burning range of Celestial Falling Bright Flame on the battlefield began to narrow.

The commander saw this situation and ordered the rested incendiary bomb throwing unit back to action.

Lu Yu, witnessing the retreat of golden flames and the charred ground revealed, opened the attribute panel to upgrade the Nine Transformations Diamond Body.

Consuming seven million experience points, he completed the cultivation of the first transformation of the Nine Transformations Diamond Body.

Experiencing rapid decline in experience points, Lu Yu felt a wondrous change occurring in his body, a sensation like hammers striking it, with affected areas first feeling intense pain, then an itchy, tingling sensation, eventually radiating warmth.

With seven million experience points exhausted, Lu Yu felt that his entire flesh and blood had been tempered thoroughly, his originally smooth and delicate skin now emanating a layer of golden sheen.

It seemed as though a layer of wax oil was applied over his body surface.

Running fingers over the skin shimmering with an oily glow, there was no perceptible slickness to the touch; the lustrous hue resembled the polished jade-like color.

Though the skin's color had slightly changed, the first transformation of the Nine Transformations Diamond Body indeed greatly enhanced Lu Yu's defense by thirty percent.

Lu Yu eagerly anticipated the subsequent eight transformations.

Without seeing system message prompts, Lu Yu could only observe the post-upgrade changes on his personal panel.

The realm advanced to the seventh level of the Aura Mastery Realm, Qi Blood reached 3900 points, the total Spiritual Power increased to 15200 points, with the Ice and Fire Spiritual Power each at 7600 points.

The Qi Blood increased by 100 points, pleasantly surprising Lu Yu. If this trend continued, perhaps the next time the Nine Transformations Diamond Body is upgraded would breach the minor threshold of 4000, heralding another significant enhancement in strength.

After upgrading, Lu Yu depleted all his Spiritual Power within, then exited the battlefield.

Even with his upgrades, given the depletion of Spiritual Power within, others couldn't accurately sense his realm.

Maintaining such a long-lasting Celestial Falling Bright Flame on the battlefield already made him conspicuous enough; if suddenly his realm were to abruptly enhance, he'd appear excessively conspicuous.

Silently accumulating wealth is the real strategy.

Lu Yu departed, leaving a charred battlefield behind, with the carbonized demonic flesh lying like a carpet over the ground, covering it with a thick layer of black.

The Slaughterer was trapped, reducing its own demon-transferring speed, attempting to consolidate power and transmit the second Slaughterer.

Researchers from Hua Country also, taking advantage of the diminished war intensity, collected substantial data from the demonic cavern, battlefield analysis, and various samples.

A Mediterranean white-haired researcher, observing the massive tentacle suppressed by the Ancient Nether Spear's phantom, excitedly told the adjacent commander: "I want a sample of that demon tentacle..."

The tentacle, situated in the most densely fired area of the battlefield, remained unscathed by missiles and machine cannons, even unaffected by the gold flames that burned a quarter of the battlefield.

The biologist researcher very much desired the tentacle sample for research. Although currently, there's little progress in studying demon flesh, he still wanted it.

Just as the commander was preparing to send Aura-dominating realm experts to sample, a piece of bad news arrived; the Blue Sea City underground research facility was attacked by monsters and now lost communication.

From the last transmission, it was known that the monster emerged from within the research facility.

The commander stared at the Mediterranean man and asked: "What is going on here?"
