Chapter 367 - 367: More... more treasure hunting?
[Congratulations! Your descendant, Donna, has successfully overcome the nine-nine heavenly tribulation and ascended to the Competent Force realm!]
[Family Will +1 obtained.]
[Following the teachings of her master, Chuck, your descendant Donna has cultivated the high-level Earth-rank technique 'Five Element Body Tempering Art.' By utilizing five extreme-grade elemental treasures to reshape her physique, she has achieved the pinnacle of physical prowess within the Developing Skill realm.
Upon breaking through to the Competent Force realm, she has gained the special constitution: Supreme Overlord Body.]
[Her physical strength has reached its absolute limit, devoid of any flaws, even after ascending to the Competent Force realm. With the 'Five Element Body Tempering Art' mastered, she can unleash a surge of power several times greater than her normal physical strength through the use of magic formulas.]
Ethan could sense it.
From the moment Donna integrated the five elemental treasures, her physical strength had already surpassed that of Abbot David, the terrifying body cultivator who had once escaped a nuclear blast at its epicenter, losing only a leg as the price for his survival.
The true terror of body cultivators lay in their unparalleled physical might, their bodies impervious to most forms of attack.
The majority of Psychics focused on cultivating their psychic abilities.
If they allowed a body cultivator to get close... well, they could kiss their souls goodbye.
But Donna's terror didn't end there.
[During her tribulation, your descendant Donna consumed the seventh-grade Celestial Titan Powder, the sixth-grade Mystic Vision Elixir, the seventh-grade Boundless Strength Powder, and absorbed the essence of three hundred thousand souls. She has gained the special constitution: Thunder Forged Adamantine Body.]
[Tempered by the relentless assault of the heavenly tribulation, bolstered by potent elixirs and the life force of countless souls, her very being now crackles with the power of divine judgment. Her attacks are imbued with the might of the heavens, her defenses impenetrable, her physical strength unmatched.]
'Supreme Overlord Body,' 'Thunder Forged Adamantine Body'...
Ethan couldn't even fathom the extent of Donna's current power.
He was certain, however, that if Aiden, a Competent Force realm expert, were to face Donna in battle, he wouldn't even touch the hem of her garments.
A single strike from her would likely send him back to the crab demon's Forebearer.
And it wasn't just Donna's physical prowess that had undergone a transformation.
The Flesh and Blood Lotus Platforms behind her had also experienced a startling evolution.
[Your descendant, Donna, has ascended to the Competent Force realm. Her companion psychic artifact, the 'seventh-grade Flesh and Blood Lotus Platforms,' has absorbed a vast amount of life force from countless souls, green crabs, and the power of the heavenly tribulation. It has undergone a breakthrough, transforming into the sixth-grade Buddha-Demon Disk.]
[The Buddha-Demon power can be integrated into her being, transforming her into a Vajrapani Bodhisattva, her defenses amplified by sacred chants. It can also manifest as a Supreme Heavenly Demon, unleashing a torrent of demonic energy to obliterate her foes.]
[The fusion of Buddha-Demon power has given rise to the Divine Punishment Buddha-Demon Disk. It can summon heavenly lightning, which, when channeled through her body, further enhances her physical prowess, pushing her to the very brink of collapse.]
Ethan had witnessed Donna's terrifying transformation as she charged into the heart of the tribulation, absorbing its full might.
He couldn't help but wonder: if Donna, now empowered by the combined efforts of their entire clan, were to face Marcus, who would emerge victorious?
Both were anomalies, monsters in their own right.
"With this level of power, we can finally put our plan into action."
Ethan watched as Donna and Helen walked away from the fishing village, their backs straight, their steps filled with purpose.
A smile touched his lips.
A special event appeared on the interface.
[Divine List Plan]
[Your descendant, Julian, has learned from various Psychics during his years of service in the Radiant Sky Grotto that attaining the top spot on the Pinnacle Apprentice Ranking would garner the attention of the empire and attract the favor of numerous factions.
After careful deliberation between Olivia, Jessica, and Joseph, your family has decided to have Donna claim the title of number one Pinnacle Apprentice. This will grant her access to the Radiant Sky Grotto, allowing her to extract Julian discreetly.]
For years, Julian had been under constant surveillance, unable to advance his cultivation or practice his craft.
Even the formation disk he had used was painstakingly crafted in secret.
Olivia had even detected the presence of the Heavenly Path Venerable's avatar outside the Radiant Sky Grotto, monitoring Julian's every move.
Julian was already a sixth-grade psychic equipment crafter.
Rescuing him from the imperial capital would be a boon to the Blackwood clan.
If Donna became the number one Pinnacle Apprentice, she would have ample opportunity to infiltrate the Radiant Sky Grotto and extract Julian.
And if they failed... well, Donna's growth alone made it a worthwhile gamble.
After all, the future was a fickle mistress.
That much, the Blackwoods knew all too well.
...
Under a warm spring sun, Donna, Helen, and Benjamin set out on their journey.
Meanwhile, Drunken Fool and Aiden, tasked with protecting Adam and Alexander, ventured into the depths of the sea.
[Year 222 of the Blackwood Family]
[Your descendants, Adam and Alexander, joined a psychic expedition to seek treasure in the vast ocean. After years of
He handed over his possessions with a defeated sigh, his arms crossed as he glared at his tormentors.
"Go on, then! Kill me! I know what you're doing. But I'm done robbing others! Let's see how you steal from me now!"
The Blackwoods exchanged amused glances at the scholar's outburst.
"It seems I really can't keep exploiting one person."
William's eyes, tinged with danger, focused intently on the vulnerable spots of the Unquestioning Scholar.
Years of working together had given Marcus an uncanny ability to decipher William's thoughts.
He frowned, sending a mental message.
"William, leave him be. He may be a notorious thief, but he has never taken a life. He's more valuable to us alive."
William waved dismissively, accusing Marcus of thinking the worst of him.
"In that case," Jessica said with a sly smile, "let's pay a visit to Kyle. Neil has gathered quite the dossier on him."
