HPDBC Chapter 304 Sudden Wealth
Chapter 304 Sudden Wealth
"It's too late."
On a secluded island in the Sea of Turmoil, Alkaid furrowed his brows.
He had originally intended to cultivate continuously until he reached the Hollow Void Realm, but he had not anticipated the transformation from the Blazing White Golden Core to the Deep Blue Golden Core, a qualitative change, which unexpectedly wasted three months of his time, even for him.
Although the breakthrough process went smoothly without any setbacks, it resulted in a higher consumption.
This caused him, who initially only had 1.05 million Pure Yang Great Pills, to consume an additional 500,000 during the process of forming the Deep Blue Golden Core.
Now...
After completing the breakthrough, only 200,000 Pure Yang Great Pills remained.
These elixirs were clearly not enough to further stabilize and evolve his Deep Blue Golden Core to its second form.
"Ultimately, I have formed the Deep Blue Golden Core. If I were to try collapsing it into the Chaos Void now and allow the Dharma Phase to transform into True Spirit, refining void into reality, combining the illusionary and the real, transforming into a Cave Heaven, my chances wouldn't be small. I wouldn't claim a hundred percent, but seventy to eighty percent sure... Yet..."
Alkaid paused, "Since evolving the Deep Blue Golden Core to its second form, the middle stage, would increase the success rate of the breakthrough to a hundred percent, why should I take this risk?"
Feeling the core within his body that continued to condense, emitting a deep blue glow...
And because he had just broken through, the deep blue light nearly permeated his body, radiating outwards, causing the surrounding temperature to drastically increase, Alkaid took a deep breath.
Continue.
He had no intention of wasting the remaining 200,000 Pure Yang Great Pills.
With a thought, a Kunpeng Divine Beast seemed to appear within his body, consuming the Pure Yang Great Pills he had ingested with the force born from the Chaos Void.
This refining efficiency was not just a notch faster compared to that with the Blazing White Golden Core.
"Not only is the efficiency of the Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Technique more notable, the usage of the You Long Sword and the Two Realms Ruler also became easier, and the Rip the Sky with One Strike and Nine Transformations of Heavenly Movement became more handy."
Alkaid sensed the changes in his body.
He knew these were the advantages brought about by the transformation from the Blazing White Golden Core to the Deep Blue Golden Core.
The Blazing White Golden Core was merely the largest form of a stellar core.
But the Deep Blue Golden Core shattered the concept of "largest" by breaking the limitations of "quantity" and evolving into a super giant star.
The immense mass naturally had a greater impact on the surrounding environment.
If previously his use of Supreme Divine Power was akin to skillfully handling enormous force with minimal effort, now...
It was at least handling enormous force with substantial ease.
Previously, to unleash Rip the Sky with One Strike, he had to first rely on the "Void's Child" talent to sense the ripples of the void, then use the You Long Sword to drive these ripples, and finally release this Supreme Divine Technique, but now, the energy within the Deep Blue Golden Core itself was enough to stir the void, and although it couldn't be done as effortlessly as the combination of the Hollow Void and Chaos Void, it still met the standards for unleashing Supreme Divine Power...
With these thoughts in mind, Alkaid finally understood why top Immortal Sects often only allowed True Disciples to cultivate Supreme Divine Power.
For disciples at the Blazing White Golden Core Level, not to mention whether they could cultivate it, even if they managed to, unleashing it was extremely difficult.
Rather than wasting precious time on cultivating Supreme Divine Power, it was better to first form the Deep Blue Golden Core.
"However, Supreme Divine Power is virtually of no great use to me. The appeal of this power lies in its might and, most crucially, the fact that a perfected Supreme Divine Power acts like a catalyst, allowing entry into the Dao Techniques. However, I have so far only accessed thirteen Dao Techniques, which limits my options. I shall not waste my efforts on Supreme Divine Power for now; the few that I have are sufficient."
With his mind set, he continued to refine the remaining Pure Yang Great Pills using the Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Technique.
In less than half a year, the 200,000 Pure Yang Great Pills were completely refined by the Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Technique.
The Deep Blue Golden Core inside him became even more robust than before.
But...
"To let the Deep Blue Golden Core evolve to its second form, I would need approximately 2 million Pure Yang Great Pills. There's still a gap of 1.8 million elixirs."
This number was not small.
However, considering his current strength, perhaps gathering this shortfall of 1.8 million Pure Yang Great Pills would be faster than the initial 1 million needed for the transition from the Blazing White Golden Core to the Deep Blue Golden Core.
But these Mind Thoughts had no effect on the speed of Alkaid's sword.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by the second Rip the Sky with One Strike, the Crimson Gold Phoenix Body, barely regrouping into flames, was completely shattered, exploding into endless firelight, scattering in all directions.
This time, those flames could no longer burn; despite the intense heat that could scorch the heavens and boil the sea, it only lasted a moment on the surface of the sea before it faded away.
Alkaid's figure flickered, and his hands now held a Storage Treasure and a war blade.
His first Rip the Sky with One Strike, with the Heaven-Sealing Stele having sealed Xuan Shuang, hadn't managed to fatally kill him because it avoided damage overflow, which would have destroyed everything on his body.
Unexpectedly...
The Crimson Gold Phoenix Body could still undergo one Nirvana.
Fortunately, Xuan Shuang in the middle of Nirvana apparently couldn't destroy the Storage Treasure and the war blade; although it took a bit more effort, the goal of keeping the spoils was still achieved.
He examined the war blade...
"The quality is decent; it has a lot of room for modifications."
The war blade wasn't the focus though.
The focus was...
His Divine Sense scanned Xuan Shuang's Storage Treasure immediately.
Suddenly, countless Pure Yang Great Pills and numerous cultivation resources all came into view.
"Truly worthy of being a True Disciple, so wealthy! No less than one million Pure Yang Great Pills, the total value of various resources also exceeds one million Pure Yang Great Pills, plus the war blade... with just a bit of selling, the total profit will definitely exceed three million Pure Yang Great Pills."

What's called getting rich overnight.
This is called making a fortune in one go.
"True Disciple."
Alkaid muttered.
True Disciple of a top-tier sect...
Indeed has money.
No wonder everyone wants to become a True Disciple of a great sect.
However, considering that the death of any True Disciple would cause their sect to at least organize a team led by a Hollow Void Elder to investigate thoroughly, Alkaid also dared not relax.
The You Long Sword spun in the void, stirring up more void ripples, continuously accumulating power and guiding.
After a few breaths, a Rip the Sky with One Strike, multiple times stronger than the previous, thundered down, this time targeting...
Strikingly, this piece of the void.
With one strike, this Supreme Divine Power lived up to its name, tearing through the void and causing this area within tens of miles to collapse completely.
Countless Qi and particles were completely smashed into nothingness.
Terrible void ripples and energy fluctuations spread far and wide, affecting thousands of miles, tearing everything within this range to shreds.
The sea below stirred up sky-high giant waves, on a small planet it would be enough for world annihilation, continuously sweeping the surroundings.
After the shockwave gradually dissipated, one could foresee that this region would likely experience frightening meteorological changes due to these severe void alterations.
These meteorological events would be enough to erase nearly all traces.
Afterward, unless a Shattered Void Realm Supreme Elder adept at tracing and investigating Great Dao intervened, it would be very difficult for anyone to find any useful clues.
Having done all this, Alkaid didn't waste further time and once again summoned the Dragon Steed Flying Boat.
As the flying boat accelerated, quickly sweeping open the void, it soon disappeared from this battlefield.
