Chapter 1159: Chapter 1159: Refining the Essence of Fire
Meng Yuanqi must be killed.
Shi Hao never considered himself a tolerant person, especially towards those who want to kill him.
If you want to kill me, then I’ll kill you. It’s only fair.
However, the problem now is that Meng Yuanqi has already stepped into the Silver Spirit Immortal level, and with each step forward his combat power increases by at least tenfold.
When he cultivates his Silver Spirit Immortal to halfway through the first star, his combat power will definitely crush him, even if he uses the Power Talisman Soldier, it will be useless. And this time... in such a place, it may take only two months, at most three months.
If Shi Hao were given enough resources, he does not believe that his progress would be slower than Meng Yuanqi’s. However, the Fire Element in this first layer has almost been resolved, how could Shi Hao continue to maintain a rapid increase in cultivation?
"Do I have to go to the second layer now?" muttered Shi Hao.
With his current strength, he might be able to kill the weakest Fire Element in the second layer region, but doing so would be very inefficient, making rapid cultivation uplift in a short time impossible.
"Got it!"
Shi Hao took out the Essence of Fire, now relying on this item.
The Purple Gold Rat said that each drop of essence is equivalent to an Elemental Core, thus the energy contained within is extremely amazing.
To advance his cultivation rapidly in a short time, he can only rely on this.
Other Copper Armored Immortals almost certainly can’t refine this thing, even if it is used for refining, it’s necessary to dilute it sufficiently; otherwise, its explosive power is too violent, and if it detonates, it’s a suicidal act.
However, Shi Hao possesses the Stone Mill, he doesn’t worry the least.
Why not let the Black Hole devour it?
Simply put, if the Black Hole devours it, most of it goes to replenish the Little Star Universe’s energy and rules, with only a small portion gifting to Shi Hao. But using the Stone Mill for refinement, it’s all his.
Mainly, the number of Core of Fire Elements devoured by the Black Hole is enough, almost all the bronze-level Flame Rules filled up the Little Star Universe, so there’s no need to let the Black Hole devour again.
He knocked a corner off the Crystal Stone, immediately sensing a powerful heat gush out that almost singes his eyebrows.
What terrifying flames.
This Essence of Fire is surely not named in vain.
Ordinary Copper Armored Immortals, even if nine stars, wouldn’t dare consume it, merely touching it would render them scared.
This is a mighty weapon indeed.
Shi Hao grinned and took a drop, only the size of a soybean, and as soon as it was out, flames boiled into various forms like tigers, wolves, and leopards, roaring and attacking him but were easily suppressed by Shi Hao.
At the level of Copper Armored Immortals, aside from a few descendants of Immortal Kings, there’s no one who could withstand a single move against him.
Even those descendant of Immortal Venerables, Shi Hao is unafraid, at most it’s a question of how many moves to defeat them.
He consumed the drop of fire, immediately feeling his throat burning as if igniting, but his skin and muscle tempered to resemble Immortal Gold, along with the mighty strength of the Nine Deaths Divine Technique, are sufficient to resist the fiery might.
However, after the Essence of Fire reaches the stomach, problems arise.
— His stomach has yet to be tempered, only protected by the Nine Deaths Divine Technique.
He wrapped it with rules, preventing the fiery might from manifesting, escorting it straight to the Dantian’s millstone location.
"Once the internal organs are fully refined to Immortal Gold, I’ll be practically indestructible, fearing nothing." Shi Hao muttered.
At this time, the Stone Mill gently rotates, as Shi Hao expected, it easily crushes the Essence of Fire, extracts the essence within, transforms it into the purest energy, irrespective of it being fire or frost attribute.
This energy is vast, and it took Shi Hao a long time to fully absorb it.
This is a great fortune for Shi Hao.
— The denser the energy is, the more these Essences of Fire can elevate his cultivation to a higher state.
No wonder the Purple Gold Rat said he found a treasure. Indeed, don’t underestimate the small amount of Essence of Fire, its real significance is equivalent to tens of thousands of Elemental Cores.
Shi Hao walks and refines simultaneously, the Stone Mill’s operation requires little intervention from him, allowing him to search for new Fire Element gathering spots while refining the Essence of Fire, without interference.
Here, there are still some sparse gatherings of Fire Elements, five days of searching led Shi Hao to discover one, soon clearing the place.
A dozen more days, and his gallbladder has been fully tempered into Immortal Gold Transformation.
After accumulating for a few days, Shi Hao surged to the Nine Stars.
Looking back, from stepping into Immortal Level to reaching Nine Stars, how much time has passed?
Less than ten years!
Who can compare?
No exaggeration, even Woo Yueyi’s daughter of the Immortal King can’t match him—despite having numerous Cultivation Resources than him, after visiting the fallen Summit of the Stars, Shi Hao knew the Immortal King’s foundation was beyond his imagination.
The third organ to be tempered is obviously the stomach.
With a strong stomach, he dares to consume anything.
He continues refining the Essence of Fire, his cultivation advancing steadily.
Meanwhile, he keeps seeking out Fire Element gathering grounds, walking with two legs for faster and steadier progress.
Due to the Fire Elements here being almost wiped out, most people have retreated—unless qualified to push into Silver Spirit Immortal, naturally moving into the second area.
Thus, Shi Hao encounters no obstructions, as this place stands empty, scarcely meeting anyone.
A month later, Shi Hao completes the tempering of the third organ, achieving the Peak of Nine Stars.
Currently, he doesn’t have much Essence of Fire left.
Theoretically, he can already aim to breakthrough into Silver Spirit Immortal.
If he succeeds in becoming a Silver Spirit Immortal, his combat power will skyrocket tremendously, once again able to defeat adversaries like Meng Yuanqi.
However, Shi Hao has grander ambitions.
Defeating Meng Yuanqi?
Can this be his ultimate goal?
At most, it’s just a minor episode in his journey of growth, not worthy of sacrificing for.
If he aims to break through to the Silver Spirit Immortal now, the trajectory of his cultivation will be set, and unrefined organs will never be tempered, forming a lifelong weakness.
Of course, almost all Immortals have this kind of weakness, and it’s not critically significant, because to assault the internal organs, it must first pass through barriers of skin, flesh, bones, blood, etc.
Once skin, flesh, bones, and such are refined to resemble Immortal Gold, the defense is already impressive.
The organs being concealed within the body, are very well protected.
But for someone like Shi Hao who seeks ultimate perfection, stopping here is unwilling.
What’s more, he plans to aim for Ten Stars, Eleven Stars, intending to complete a full body tempering, achieving the true limit.
