Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear
Chapter 587 - 554: The Last Stand of Resistance to the Three Calamities
"Pfft!"
With a mouthful of blood, Wang Wu fell to the ground. On his back, three terrifying wounds gushed blood like fountains, and the edges of the wounds cracked rapidly, resembling a landslide, turning into a bloody hole in just a few moments.
The internal tissues of the bloody hole also disintegrated and collapsed along with it.
The situation was terrifying to the extreme.
But even so, Wang Wu managed to get up with difficulty, enduring 30 million points of damage per second, calmly operating three Tier Four Foundation Establishment Arrays, effectively implementing the various disaster prevention, mitigation, and reduction measures of the three sequences...
In short, after a flurry of work, he managed to reduce this terrifying damage to 3 million points per second, and after accounting for 2.5 million points of self-healing per second, the problem wasn’t too big.
Only then did he have the time to absorb the surrounding chaotic spiritual energy to neutralize the terrifying sword energy; the entire process was controllable.
It was as if this were a business transaction.
During this period, Wang Wu also attempted to identify and see through this terrifying sword energy.
But that proved difficult, as his Spiritual Essence Revelation Divine Techniques failed for the first time.
Wang Wu smiled, dismissing it, and seriously adjusted his approach with a mindset of treating severe injuries like cooking a small fish, pulling all sorts of limits with the injuries caused by the terrifying sword energy.
Meanwhile, he continuously filtered and refined the chaotic spiritual energy.
All in all, within just ten days, not only did his injuries recover completely, but he also managed to earn 3.5 billion points of spiritual energy.
This was quite miraculous.
Of course, Wang Wu took this for granted, not considering himself particularly special. He even occasionally joked about developing a masochistic syndrome.
But there was really no choice. In this day and age, you either lie flat and let the grass grow over you, work tirelessly, or rise in revolt; are lords and statesmen born of noble blood?
A grassroots wild bear like him, with no family, no sect, and no fortune, how could he help himself? If he didn’t endure hardships, could good days just fall from the sky?
Oh, alas, he wished it were so.
Moreover, if suffering like this could profit him over 3 billion pure spiritual energy, what’s not to like?
With spiritual energy, there is a future.
This time, Wang Wu didn’t rush to seek out that terrifying sword energy for abuse but sat cross-legged, taking advantage of the chaotic spiritual energy in the area having dropped to a historic low, hurriedly operating the three sequences and the three Foundation Establishment Arrays to conduct a comprehensive inspection and repair on the foundation injuries of his Creation Immortal Body, followed by a round of Three Calamities Evolution.
With spiritual energy, he could afford to be a bit reckless now.
This inspection and repair took about fifty years to complete, as the chaotic spiritual energy in the area rose to warning levels, capable of seeping through space rifts.
Currently unsolvable.
But the good news was that Wang Wu’s progress in inspecting and repairing his Creation Immortal Body was impressive, equivalent to a major maintenance overhaul.
Of course, the cost was steep, consuming a total of 6 billion points of spiritual energy just like that.
So without saying much, Wang Wu immediately dived through the space rift into what appeared to be Daluo’s Tomb, habitually luring, instantly triggering countless terrifying sword energies slicing through the void.
Oh my, how frightening.
Even after experiencing it twice, Wang Wu could not help but tremble with fear.
He turned around and fled, like a lost dog.
And just as expected, no matter how fast he ran, it was of no use; again, three terrifying sword energies pierced his back, forming three horrific wounds...but, wait?
At that moment, Wang Wu felt something different, very faint, but indeed different.
It seemed that his Creation Immortal Body had developed a slight, no, a minuscule, weak resistance when resisting this terrifying sword energy.
Although the total amount was still pitifully small, it was excellent news.
"Could it be possible to brush out a new resistance?"
Wang Wu felt dubious, but he didn’t hesitate in his actions. Engaging divine power immortal techniques, three major sequences, three Foundation Establishment Arrays, accompanied by Three Calamities Evolution, everything progressed in an orderly manner. Once the injuries stabilized, he deeply absorbed the chaotic spiritual energy with skill that was terrifyingly adept.
Once everything settled into the right track, without hesitation, Wang Wu cast a Spiritual Essence Perception on himself.
He needed to figure out what those subtle changes meant.
Did his Immortal Body generate a new resistance?
Thus, after a long time, his Spiritual Essence Revelation did indeed yield some vague, uncertain informational data.
"Wait, it’s not a new resistance, but resistance to the Three Calamities. How could this terrifying sword energy relate to resistance to the Three Calamities?"
Wang Wu was astonished, so much so that he decisively abandoned purifying the chaotic spiritual energy, switching to counter the terrifying sword energy through the method of Three Calamities Evolution.
Then, a shocking scene emerged.
Three Calamities Evolution could indeed absorb this terrifying sword energy, albeit very slowly, almost imperceptibly, but it indeed absorbed it.
"This shouldn’t be, there’s no reason, unless the essence of this terrifying sword Qi isn’t ordinary power..."
Wang Wu mused like this and naturally continued the evolution of the Three Calamities, degrading and absorbing the terrifying sword Qi through evolution, even if the process was very long, it was worth it.
However, the increasing chaotic Spiritual Qi interfered with him, so he had to purify the chaotic Spiritual Qi first.
Then use the evolution of the Three Calamities to degrade and absorb the terrifying sword Qi. After toiling like this for nearly a hundred years, the harvest was still meager.
But it didn’t matter, continue.
Wang Wu, following the cycle of purifying chaotic Spiritual Qi twice and degrading and absorbing sword Qi once, with each cycle lasting fifty years, continued this incessantly, for over a thousand years.
He purified nearly six hundred billion points of Spiritual Qi before his evolution of the Three Calamities finally degraded and absorbed a tiny wisp of that terrifying sword Qi.
Then, his Resistance to the Three Calamities all changed to 9999.1, each increasing by 0.1 resistance.
It really made Wang Wu feel eerie and helpless.
Fortunately, even though the resistance increased by only 0.1%, the effect was still very noticeable. Wang Wu could now withstand four terrifying sword Qi.
These four terrifying sword Qi could deal about 40 million points of damage per second.
But his comprehensive defense value and immunity value could increase by 10 million points.
With such defense, who could be his match under the Half-step Daluo?
For a moment, Wang Wu became even more curious about the origins of that terrifying sword Qi, but unfortunately, his Spirit Essence Perception could not penetrate it.
So he could only continue.
While filtering chaotic Spiritual Qi, and filtering terrifying sword Qi, oh, he also had to find time to awaken the Frost Monarch.
But for some reason, perhaps due to lack of exposure to Yin and Yang Qi, or other unknown reasons, even though Wang Wu returned her four Spirit Pills and even helped reconstruct her Creation Immortal Body, Frost Monarch still couldn’t awaken, only capable of being a sleeping beauty...
Until some time later, Wang Wu suddenly heard a very weak voice coming from Frost Monarch.
It was from that mother-in-law, hidden in Frost Monarch’s last Creation Spirit Pill.
Wang Wu hurriedly released it.
"Are you alright, the Frost Monarch has been unresponsive in her slumber, has something happened?"
"Ah, you ungrateful brat, you finally woke up, you were in a coma for 30,000 years, my poor daughter, don’t know what the cost was to awaken you, it’s unknown if she can ever wake up again."
"What? I was in a coma for 30,000 years!"
Wang Wu was shocked, he hadn’t felt much before, he just thought he had been severely injured, and thought he lost 30,000 years of Shou, not thinking further.
It turned out, it wasn’t that he lost 30,000 years of Shou, but that time had passed for 30,000 years.
Damn it!
"Sigh, what a disaster, not even knowing what happened, anyway, you suffered serious injuries, buried underground, my daughter couldn’t do anything, but supply you daily with Divine Thought, 30,000 years, to awaken you, those four clowns of yours fell into slumber, my daughter did too, leaving only this old body to watch over you, in fact, this old body is almost exhausted, not knowing how long I’ve slept, hmm, what is this place, it feels a bit off?"
"This is the shattered Cultivation Realm, because Tianshu Divine Monarch forcibly tried to impact Daluo, leading five Daluo to intercept him, resulting in him detonating himself in anger and destroying the Cultivation Realm."
"Self-detonate? Are you joking, a Half-step Daluo couldn’t destroy the Cultivation Realm even if he self-detonated a hundred times!"
"I’m not joking, because it also involved the suppressive force of those five Daluo, and Tianshu Divine Monarch himself had proven Yin and Yang, nearing Daluo, equivalent to the power of six, which is how the Cultivation Realm was destroyed in one go, but I don’t know more, I only woke up less than two thousand years ago." Wang Wu briefly explained.
"I see, then this old body is relieved, as long as you’re not dead, as long as my daughter is not dead, who cares about the Cultivation Realm, but now you’d better abandon the path to proving Daluo, those Daluo dare to openly obstruct others from advancing to Daluo, truly they have no shame."
"Ah, Tianshu Divine Monarch can actually self-prove Yin and Yang, he’s indeed extraordinarily talented, reaching this step is really a pity."
"In conclusion, this serves as a lesson, you must learn from it, aim for a Half-step Daluo in the future, and if you can find Qingxue later, let her cover you, what first cut is the sharpest sword upon reaching the shore, I won’t allow it..."
The Mother-in-law said, her breath grew more tenuous.
"No longer possible, this old body too must fall into slumber, take good care of yourself, no need to worry about us, in the future if you muster a few thousand jars of Drunken Immortal Wine, we’ll naturally awaken..."
The voice gradually faded, and well, they all fell into slumber.
It seems that Frost Monarch and the four clowns, along with this Mother-in-law, were utterly exhausted trying to wake him.
But it’s alright, next he’ll continue cultivating his Resistance to the Three Calamities.
One thousand years to increase by 0.1, ten thousand years will be enough to max it out!
He’s very excited, finally able to max it out, if nothing unexpected happens.
Next Wang Wu really devoted himself wholeheartedly, the effects even more evident.
Even though he hasn’t yet understood the logic behind it, as long as he cultivates an additional 0.1, he can resist one more terrifying sword Qi.
A complete positive feedback loop.
