The Eternal Supremacy - Chapter 47
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Ji Mo fell asleep, the Celestial Devil Power was still refining the remaining demonic Qi inside his body endlessly. The demonic Qi was truly enormous to the point that the Celestial Devil Power actually led it toward the eighth acupuncture point at his chest while he was sound asleep. This was because his body could not withstand the power anymore since he was already at his limit, thus he needed a breakthrough point, which was his eighth acupuncture point.
Only by breaking through the eighth acupuncture point would Ji Mo’s cultivation base advance, and he could refine more demonic Qi as nourishment for his flesh.
When Huo Lin’er stood up and noticed that Ji Mo’s lower body was damp, the crimson on her face was even more obvious. She caressed his forehead with her delicate hand again and wiped his sweat off as she said softly, “I hope that you won’t remember anything when you wake up and that we’ll be like how we used to be. I’m sorry…I couldn’t do it better…”
Afterward, she sat with her legs crossed beside him. She had not fully recovered her True Qi, and she needed to acquire her original cultivation base as soon as possible.
Ji Mo woke up after an unknown period of time, and the memories rushed into his head like a tide the moment he opened his eyes. Nevertheless, he only remembered what happened before he lost his mind, so he forgot everything after that. Ji Mo soon felt that his body was full of power, and the Celestial Devil Power was restless when he activated it.
“An eight-tier tempered body! How did I…When did I break through?” Utterly shocked, he immediately checked his body without bothering about anything else. There was no mistake as he had really broken through to an eight-tier tempered body in his dream, causing the Celestial Devil Power to be as fearsome as a bolt of thunder.
He knew that it was definitely due to the Giant Black Ape’s demonic core because the demonic Qi that it contained had been completely transformed into spiritual energy by the Celestial Devil Power as nourishment for his body. In fact, the power instinctively advanced to his eighth acupuncture point. The demonic core of the demonic beast in Qi Plundering Boundary was simply comparable with any spiritual medicine and was more effective than the White Pearl Spiritual Medicine.
Not long after breaking through to the seventh-tier tempered body, Ji Mo had advanced to the eighth-tier tempered body, and the sudden improvement in his power made him feel like it was all a dream.
Next, he sensed something extra in his mind.
It was a message that had never appeared before, and it wandered in Ji Mo’s mind for a short while before he remembered it like it was already a part of his memory.
“Three-Tonne Power!”
The simple words made Ji Mo feel spirited.
This was the Giant Black Ape’s talent and divine power. Back when Ji Mo had acquired the black ape’s demonic core, he noticed that its core had patterns on it which indicated that the beast possessed talent and divine power. After all, it was a demonic beast with an ancestral bloodline, so it inherited its ancestor’s divine power.
Despite that, neither did Ji Mo expect to take over the Giant Black Ape’s talent and divine power when he refined its demonic core, nor did he think that they would be so peculiar.
What was the concept of 3 tonnes? 1 tonne was equivalent to 1,000 kilograms and 2,000 catties, which meant that 3 tonnes were equivalent to 6,000 catties of power. The fact that one could produce 6,000 catties of power, which was the same as 3 tonnes of power, was definitely nature-defying. A master of the Qi Plundering Boundary would have to be wary about the Three-Tonne Power because 3 tonnes were far beyond a human body’s limit.
Regardless of what Body Tempering Art one adopted, it was impossible to temper 3 tonnes of power.
Needless to say, the residual effect of the Three-Tonne Power was significant. Each time the power was unleashed, it would last for an especially short period of time, causing one’s body to be exhausted up to a few days because the power would exceed one’s limit. If one’s body was powerful enough, one could certainly execute the Three-Tonne Power a few times, but the negative effect would naturally be increased by a few times as well, and that would be unbearable for ordinary people.
Nonetheless, that was not what excited Ji Mo. He found it unbelievable that not only could the Three-Tonne Power magnify one’s power instantly, but it could also expand a cultivator’s True Qi. In simple terms, it was a secret technique used to amplify a person’s potential but at the expense of his or her physical power.
If a cultivator of the Qi Plundering Boundary used the secret technique, one could definitely increase one’s True Qi by one or even two multipliers. Following the increment in strength, the multiplier would increase so much so that one could unleash four, five, or even ten times of magical power.
As one would expect, the higher the limit brought into play was, the more significant the negative effect was. One’s physical energy would be consumed in the beginning, followed by one’s life.
‘Is this the Giant Black Ape’s talent and divine power? It’s actually a secret art that’s so tyrannical in nature. Since the black ape inherits its ancestor’s legacy, it’s hard to imagine what kind of being its ancestor was to have studied the secret art that’s simply nature-defying. Lu Susu was very lucky to have killed the Giant Black Ape with a magical talisman. Perhaps the black ape underestimated her, or she would’ve died for sure if it used three times of its original power,’ Ji Mo thought to himself.
At the same time, he was secretly glad that he was fated to obtain the secret art.
His only concern was that a bigger price would have to be paid during the later stage of the secret art to the extent that it would require him to burn his life source. As such, he would never use it unless it was out of absolute necessity.
“Phew!”
Ji Mo exhaled deeply and sat up once he was done digesting the information. He noticed that he was still inside the cave, but Huo Lin’er was nowhere to be found. There was a jade talisman in his hand, so he figured that she had left it there for him.
“Did she leave without saying goodbye just like Lan Qingcheng did?”
When Ji Mo channeled his consciousness into the jade talisman anxiously, Huo Lin’er’s voice was instantly heard. “Little man, don’t run about when you’re awake. I’ve gone out to hunt for some wild animals because you’ve been unconscious for about six days, and you’ll starve to death soon if you don’t eat. Be good…”
“F*ck. She sounds like she’s soothing a child,” Ji Mo mumbled, but he quickly noticed that Huo Lin’er had spoken to him in a different tone. He wondered, ‘Did something really happen that night?’
Ji Mo broke out in a cold sweat upon thinking of the possibility.
He took a look at his clothes and realized that they were still on, but there was a huge patch on his pants that had dried up. Hence, he quickly checked his pants inside out, and based on his experience, he concluded why it was wet. ‘It looks like nothing actually happened that day, or else, I wouldn’t have wet my pants from the inside…
‘I probably settled it myself. Oh god, how many lives did I waste?’ Ji Mo lamented to himself.
He began having ** again.
Swoosh!
A flame appeared outside the cave as Huo Lin’er entered. She carried two hares in her hand and was enveloped in a fire shroud that was gathered from her True Qi which allowed her to go through the waterfall easily without getting wet.
“You’re awake.” She was delighted when she saw Ji Mo sitting up. She blushed a little, and a complicated expression was visible in her eyes momentarily.
“I thought you left. That night…Nothing happened, right?” Ji Mo asked after standing up slowly.
Upon hearing him, Huo Lin’er’s body trembled uncontrollably, but she quickly looked up naturally with a sweet smile on her face. “Something did happen.”
“What?! Did something happen? Then, we’re…” Ji Mo was astonished.
