Chapter 368: Chapter 368
With a thunderous roar, it seemed as if a deep dragon chant echoed through the Demonic Ruins.
The violent tremor spread outwards in all directions, making the already chaotic Demonic Ruins even more turbulent.
[After your diligent cultivation, your "Wind Control and Shadow Form" has successfully reached the entry level.]
Panel prompts popped up.
At this moment, Wen Zhixing’s form appeared somewhat ethereal, weaving through a group of devilc beasts like a dragon. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder transformed into dragon-shaped bolts of lightning, coiling around his body! His form would occasionally become illusory, as if constantly wandering in the void. With every punch he threw, a thunderous boom sounded, followed by splashing blood as devilc beasts were struck dead with explosive headshots.
This continued for eighteen consecutive days. Including his previous time there, Wen Zhixing had now spent a total of eighteen days in the Demonic Ruins.
In this period, he had collected Fortune Fragments 90 more times.
[Gray Fortune Fragment +51.]
[White Fortune Fragment +20.]
[Blue Fortune Fragment +12.]
[Purple Fortune Fragment +7.]
[Current life-span: 970.]
Wen Zhixing chose only two Divine Abilities and one body skill from these fortune rewards. The rest, he converted into Fortune Points.
[You have acquired the body skill: Wind Control and Shadow Form, Purple Quality.]
[You have acquired the Divine Ability: Vajra Body, Blue Quality.]
[You have acquired the Divine Ability: Rebirth Illumination, Blue Quality.]
[Fortune Points +351, current Fortune Points: 410.]
His harvest over these fourteen days was considerably poorer compared to before. Thirty-six years of life-span for just these things; to be honest, it even felt somewhat like a loss. But there was no helping it, since this was, after all, the Demonic Ruins. Wen Zhixing could only collect Fortune Fragments from various wicked creatures, and since he was always on the periphery, good Fortune Fragments were scarce. Being able to gather a complete Purple Fortune was already exceptionally lucky.
[Wind Control and Shadow Form:] Purple Quality. Where there is the energy of heaven and earth, there begins the wind. Shadow follows the wind; the body moves swift as a fleeing duck, elusive and seemingly divine—thus it is called Wind Control and Shadow Form. This body skill features subtle changes in Yin and Yang, making it difficult for one’s traces and movements to be found.
[Spend 10,000 Fortune Points to upgrade to Blazing Gold Quality.]
Wen Zhixing had already mastered the rudiments of this newly acquired body skill. To put it simply, this skill allowed him to move with the wind; whether for short-range flickering and evasion or long-distance swift flight, it performed exceptionally well. When deploying this skill, his form became elusive and divine-like, performing notably well.
As for the two new Divine Abilities, one granted the Vajra Body, and the other was a restorative Divine Ability; neither was particularly useful to him. Wen Zhixing directly fed them to his Inborn Divine Ability to be devoured. It was a shame, though, that the estimated potential of the Inborn Divine Ability was still Blue Quality. It probably needed to devour a few more Divine Abilities before upgrading to Purple Quality.
Wen Zhixing had considered waiting until it matured before upgrading. But... since it could devour other Divine Abilities while gestating, this Divine Ability must have its unique aspects. It’s better to just let it devour other Divine Abilities.
On the periphery of the Demonic Ruins, there weren’t actually many devilc beasts. Wen Zhixing hadn’t managed to kill even a hundred in all these days. Fortunately, today his luck was good. He accidentally found a cave with dozens of devilc beasts inside.
After several days of training, Wen Zhixing had discovered a new method to defeat these devilc beasts. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder was extremely lethal to devilc beasts, and combined with his terrifying physical strength, the effect was almost one punch, one kill. As for body skills, Wen Zhixing had a new understanding as well: not to avoid attacks, but simply to make himself move faster. These devilc beasts were mostly no weaker than Wen Zhixing himself. But with his robust body, even if he was injured, he could quickly recover.
Soon after, the sounds inside the cave gradually ceased.
Faint electrical arcs were still flickering on the bodies of those devilc beasts. Dozens of devilc beasts had been killed by Wen Zhixing within a quarter of an hour.
Wen Zhixing stood in place, a glow radiating from his body. At this moment, he was operating the Hundred Tribulations Ancient Skill, absorbing the flesh and blood essence of these devilc beasts. Truth be told, with the Purgatory Furnace within him, Wen Zhixing could have simply devoured the corpses of these devilc beasts in one gulp. The efficiency would be high, and none of the essence from their flesh and blood would be wasted. However, he simply could not bring himself to do it. He was human. Not a monster. Thus, he could only forcefully extract the essence with his cultivation skill.

Wen Zhixing felt his body grow increasingly hot. His blood surged violently, and every cell seemed to be cheering.
[Your blood essence has reached its absorption limit; the Hundred Tribulations Ancient Skill is beginning to break through.]
[Warning: After successful breakthrough, Divine Tribulation will arrive.]
[Warning: Divine Tribulation cannot be avoided.]
Finally going to break through again... Wen Zhixing’s eyes flashed with a sharp light. Over these days, he had killed over a hundred devilc beasts from the Demonic Ruins, and each one was a Sixth Realm devilc beast. So much flesh and blood essence had just barely been enough for him to break through to the fourth level. This also highlighted how difficult it was to advance this cultivation skill; reaching a hundred levels was potentially even more difficult than completing the nine rotations of the Nine-Turns Sun Sutra. After all, the further one progressed, the more blood and flesh essence was required.
"Soul Calling Banner."
Wen Zhixing didn’t rush to face the Tribulation; instead, he summoned the Soul Calling Banner. He had already experienced three Divine Tribulations, and those mere heavenly thunders had virtually no effect on him. If the Divine Tribulation wasn’t even Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder, what was there to fear?
