Alien Science Cultivation

An invisible wave instantly surged from Zhang Qiang's third dantian, rushing in all directions. The speed was immense, hundreds of miles, thousands of miles, tens of thousands of miles, millions of miles, tens of millions of miles... The wave remained clear, its speed undiminished, covering the planet and traversing the universe. Wherever it passed, exotic beasts, from the smallest mosquitoes to the largest beasts, knelt. In a distant land, in a dense forest, a strange being with a human body and a beast's head, twin horns on its head, a face resembling a sheep, and a translucent body, hidden in space, slowly rose. Standing in mid-air, it gazed in the direction of the wave's departure, its face filled with fear, and its voice trembling, it said, "Newborn...Biansheng Daozhu..."

In the distant sky, within a luxurious palace, a middle-aged man in a golden robe and a golden crown, imposing without even a hint of anger, also looked in the direction of the wave with a look of horror, muttering, "New Life... Heavenly Dao... This is impossible..."

In the land of eternal night, a voice of fear and unwillingness was heard: "Newborn... Ghost Lord... Hehe... What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong? Haha..."

Amidst a fiery red sky, a middle-aged man in a black robe and a black crown closed his eyes and sighed softly, "Playing with fire ultimately leads to self-destruction... The new Lord of Hell..."

Across a vast expanse of land, within a magnificent city, within an extravagant palace, a beautiful woman in black and gold sat leisurely on a golden recliner, eyes closed. Countless servants knelt by her side, and thousands of young boys and girls danced cautiously within the vast palace, all to please her. "The new... Emperor..." The woman's eyes snapped open, quickly rising to her feet, staring in horror at the ripples that passed through her. Everyone in the palace instantly fell to their knees, daring not even to breathe. "Chop them all off..." The woman's fear faded, giving way to anger. In an instant, several figures flashed, and heads fell to the ground, leaving the palace awash in blood. "Haha... If you get in my way, I'll kill you..."

"I kill all evil for the sake of the people... Why are you still not satisfied... So what if I don't become the Shura King... I want to kill... kill..." In a dark canyon, a monster covered in blood, with three heads and six arms, roared, and every roar resounded throughout the universe.

Zhang Qiang, who was sitting with his eyes closed, had blood trickling down his eyes...

"Zhang Qiang...what's wrong with you? Are you possessed? This is..."

Zhang Qiang was awakened by Chen Ying's urgent voice, and only then did he notice the blood in the corner of his eye... He was bewildered...

"Just now, after the breakthrough in my third dantian... I felt an overwhelming sense of sadness... It was so sad that it almost took my breath away... But my body isn't feeling any different... It's just that my sea of consciousness has grown a terrifying amount this time... It's doubled in size, and my spiritual awareness has reached over 2 feet... My spiritual awareness can now penetrate atoms freely, every nucleus and every electron clearly visible and controllable... Where does that sadness come from? It's so strange..." Zhang Qiang pondered, checking everything again. Still finding nothing amiss... He finally felt relieved. "It's nothing... It might be a side effect of absorbing too much beast pill..."

Zhang Qiang was serious about saying something perfunctory. After all, he couldn't explain it himself, so he couldn't tell her that he felt a wave of sadness and his eyes were bleeding! That would make him look stupid...

Although Chen Ying was puzzled, she didn't question him further. For the next two months, Zhang Qiang and Chen Ying embarked on a frantic training regime...occasionally going out to hunt exotic beasts. As Zhang Qiang advanced and Chen Ying's weapon power increased, their coordination became seamless, making their hunting operations even more effective.

During these two months, Chen Ying also successfully advanced to the rank of Jindan cultivator. Zhang Qiang's first and second dantians also swelled, reaching the state of perfect foundation building... However, Chen Ying's Jindan tribulation was somewhat strange... The first three thunder tribulations were normal, but the power of these tribulations rivaled that of a Nascent Soul tribulation. Starting with the fourth, the form of the thunder tribulation began to change. Instead of the simple thunder dragon-like lightning of the past, it now took the form of various powerful beasts. Some resembled mighty bulls, wielding the power of lightning and possessing a powerful impact. Others resembled bats, carrying the force of lightning and flashing around Chen Ying at breakneck speed, constantly attacking him... There were a total of twelve different beast-like thunder tribulations, each possessing not only the original power of lightning but also the innate magical powers of its species, truly leaving Chen Ying in a state of disarray. The fifth thunder tribulation, originally a thunder tribulation, was replaced by a demonic tribulation. After the fourth thunderbolt, the space Chen Ying occupied was instantly shrouded in darkness. Within the darkness, all manner of ferocious demons attacked her, nearly driving her into the abyss of insanity. The sixth thunderbolt was no longer simply a force of lightning; it plunged Chen Ying into a phantasmagorical realm. Within it, Chen Ying was seared by endless hellfire. The pain wasn't just physical pain; it was a soul-crushing torture, like being in the eighteenth level of hell, the flames of hell scorching her soul wantonly. Unprepared, Chen Ying nearly fainted.

The seventh was a golden giant sword, wielding an unparalleled, domineering force. It streaked towards Chen Ying from the thunderclouds at breakneck speed. Chen Ying attempted to dodge the sword's impact, but her body seemed trapped in mid-air, forcing her to bear the blow. Her entire body was instantly enveloped in armor, and with a resounding bang... Chen Ying was struck down by the giant sword, and a thousand-foot-long gully suddenly formed in the ground, a hundred feet deep... Within the gully, Chen Ying spat blood, half-knelt on the ground, staring blankly at the sky... Not only was she stunned, but Zhang Qiang was also stunned. It seemed as if the very sky had begun to shift... The path to immortal cultivation had become infinitely more difficult...

It also seems to indicate that a new era of cultivation has begun...

Just as the two were stunned, a three-headed, six-armed monster appeared beneath the dark clouds, drenched in blood. It roared angrily at Chen Ying, then used its limbs to smash down on her, sending the ground trembling... Amidst flying sand and rocks... the ground Chen Ying lay on had been pounded into a circular crater several hundred feet wide and two hundred feet deep... When the monster vanished and the dark clouds dispersed... the ground strangely returned to its original state, revealing Chen Ying, her armor deformed and her face covered in blood...

Zhang Qiang withdrew his thoughts... He quickly rushed to Chen Ying and grabbed her right hand. The spiritual energy in his dantian surged towards Chen Ying... After a moment, Chen Ying, who was half-kneeling on the ground, slowly came to her senses. She looked at Zhang Qiang with lingering fear, and then fell into his arms...
