System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Chen Xuan solemnly declared that he didn't hold grudges, saying that taking a step back opens up a wider world.

Meanwhile, the higher-ups of Bureau 749, who knew that the Immortal Path had been wiped out overnight, were twitching with worry as they looked at their phone screens.

At the same time, the border soldiers who had followed Chen Xuan to the Southeast Asian power grid industrial park also clearly understood what Chen Xuan meant by those words.

Back then, when they were cleaning up the aftermath in their district, the scene of thousands of corpses strewn across the fields was enough to send chills down the spines of even the most hardened soldiers.

One man opened up four battlefields at the same time, and tens of thousands of people were killed overnight.

That's equivalent to the strength of a division?

These weren't the only ones who smiled wryly at Chen Xuan's kind expression, saying he didn't hold grudges.

The old man from Kyoto stroked his beard and looked at Chen Xuan with satisfaction, feeling that the young man not only had strength, but also the ability to restrain himself and not show his emotions.

The old celestial master of Longhu Mountain twitched at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Chen Xuan's innocent and naive appearance.

Zhong Yunlong of Yunlong Cave stroked his beard and looked at Chen Xuan with satisfaction. "This kid's mindset is too high. He's only eighteen years old. Where does he get such strategic thinking?"

After Chen Xuan's persuasive explanation, the fans in the live stream stopped insisting.

After all, traveling thousands of miles to another country where they are unfamiliar with the place and the people, if Chen Xuan were to perish and not be able to return, they would regret it terribly.

However, just before Chen Xuan ended his broadcast, his fans started leaving comments in the chat room.

He said, "I vow to cultivate the Dao diligently, and when I achieve mastery of the Dao, that will be the day my lineage perishes."

Chen Xuan merely smiled knowingly at this.

Sure enough, after Chen Xuan ended the broadcast...

The system notification arrived as expected.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing three daily missions to defy fate!]

[Congratulations, host, you have won a random reward; Extreme Path - Acquired Realm cultivation; 1000 levels!]

[Congratulations, host, you have won a random reward: 1 section of Thousand Evil Soul Wood (10,000 years old)!]

[Congratulations, host, you have won a random reward: a set of skin and bones of a thousand-year-old evil dragon!]

"Huh? I just stepped into the threshold of extreme cultivation yesterday, and I'm supposed to break through again today? This time it's the extreme innate realm?"

Upon hearing about the system's random reward, Chen Xuan was stunned and incredulous.

What he found even more unbelievable was the other two weapon-refining materials that the system had rewarded him with.

"The Thousand Evils and Ten Thousand Souls Wood?"

"According to the material attributes recorded in the Immortal Scroll of the 'General Outline of Array Refining,' each 'Thousand Evils and Myriad Souls Tree' requires the slaughter of a million living beings to nurture a sapling, and only by feeding it with the souls of these millions of living beings is there a very small chance of it conceiving. A thousand-year-old Thousand Evils and Myriad Souls Tree requires feeding with hundreds of millions of living beings, and this ten-thousand-year-old one..."

Chen Xuan gasped, "Damn it, you rewarded me with this kind of refining material? With my current refining skills, can I even refine it?"

"The skin and bones of a thousand-year-old evil dragon?"

Chen Xuan's mind raced, considering the 'Yellow Spring Bloodwood' he had obtained from the Immortal Emperor's Seal, combined with the two refining materials the system had rewarded him with that evening...

"Huh? If we do it this way, we've gathered all the main ingredients for crafting the 'Thousand Evils and Myriad Souls Banner'?"

"The General Principles of Weapon Forging - Immortal Scroll? A realm that only entry-level weapon forging masters can attempt? But I've only just begun my journey in weapon forging!"

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes in thought, and with no other choice, he chose to accept the infusion of 1000 layers of extreme cultivation.

With the direct infusion of 1000 layers of ultimate cultivation, Chen Xuan felt his cultivation level was full again, and he could break through to the Innate Realm of this lifetime's ultimate cultivation at any time.

At this moment, a system notification appeared.

[Ding! Host is reminded that starting from the Ultimate Acquired Realm, with each major breakthrough, the host must undergo a tribulation of lightning to temper the physical body. Surviving this will make the body stronger; failing to do so will result in death and the dissipation of one's cultivation!]

"Huh? I'm only at the second level of the Ultimate Path and I'm already facing tribulation?"

Although Chen Xuan was shocked, he acquiesced upon learning of the strength gained after the Extreme Path breakthrough.

It is indeed very difficult to repair, but once you break through, you become incredibly powerful.

After receiving the cultivation potion, Chen Xuan was not in a hurry to break through to the extreme realm, because he had already found a place to undergo tribulation.

Chen Xuan immediately closed the door of his residence, set up a magic array, and then returned to sit cross-legged on the futon.

After his mind had completely calmed down, Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

With three flips of his hand, three strange objects appeared in the air above Chen Xuan's palm.

The piece of crimson wood, as thick as a section of an arm and with blood-red patterns constantly flowing across its surface, filled the entire residence with a bloodthirsty aura that could drive one mad.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan had set up an array in his residence beforehand, which perfectly isolated the bloodthirsty aura of the Yellow Spring Bloodwood that had been washed by the Yellow Spring Waterfall for ten thousand years.

If the Yellow Spring Bloodwood were taken out, it would unleash an irresistible surge of bloodthirsty power.

As Chen Xuan took out the 'Thousand Evils and Myriad Souls Wood', he felt his soul tremble for a moment.

When faced with this piece of pure black wood, Chen Xuan had the illusion that his soul had been forcibly ripped out.

It should be noted that Chen Xuan's soul had already developed divine consciousness.

How powerful must such a soul be?

Yet, when he first came into close contact with the Thousand Evils and Myriad Souls Wood, he also had this illusion of being unsettled.

It is conceivable that this Thousand Evils and Myriad Souls Wood, which is ten thousand years old, is far more ferocious and terrifying than the Yellow Springs Blood Wood.

The last one, the monstrous dragon skin and skeleton, appeared incredibly docile compared to the former two.

After taking out all three types of refining materials, Chen Xuan finally shook his head.

"Just facing these three materials at the same time has already affected my mind. How can I possibly control the flames to refine them? I can't even imagine what will happen when they reject and become incompatible at the final stage of the finished product. How can I possibly suppress them with my strength?"

Chen Xuan frowned and pondered.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you think of her at such a critical moment?"

"Have you been relying on powerful figures too much lately, and developed a dependency on them?"

Chen Xuan shook his head, but in the end he couldn't help but go to the underworld.

It's not that Chen Xuan is shameless or lacks class.

Rather, he had no choice; he had reasons why he had to go.

What happened tonight is already a fait accompli.

1.26 million people, that is, 1.26 million souls.

If we don't use the finished evil weapon 'Thousand Evils and Ten Thousand Souls Banner' to upgrade it, it would be a waste of these three top-tier weapon-making materials.

Therefore, in order to enhance the power of the Thousand Evils and Myriad Souls Banner, and to have a true protective magic weapon to shield Long Xia from the great calamity of the collapsing heavens.

Chen Xuan went to beg that aloof and arrogant woman who could kill him with a single blow.

Although he wasn't sure if Biluo knew anything about weapon crafting.

She also had no idea whether Biluo would forge such a malevolent weapon for her, one born of slaughter.

But he had to go, because only by going would there be even a sliver of hope.

Chen Xuanzhen really didn't want to miss out on the principle of making the most of waste and resources.

"You killed 3500 of my soldiers and civilians. After all these years, rounding up, it's not much to charge you 1.26 million, including principal and interest."
