"Ding! Host currently has a total of twenty million kill points and six hundred million faith points!"
"Ding! Alert host, the main quest has been completed. Host can use faith points to upgrade the Luck Nine Cauldrons!"
"Ding! Proceed with upgrade?"
"Proceed!"
Yang Hao took a deep breath. Months of hard work by the Great Han had finally paid off!
"Ding! Successfully deducted four hundred million faith points!"
"Ding! Alert host, remaining faith points: two hundred million!"
"Pfft!"
Yang Hao almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Four hundred million! In the blink of an eye, he was penniless again. However, thankfully, he still had two more "small goals"!
"Ding! Luck Nine Cauldrons successfully upgraded to Level Eight!"
*Buzzzz!!*
The immense consumption of faith points was far greater than before. Within Yang Hao's primordial spirit, it was as if golden dragons were swimming, emitting muffled roars!
"Boom!"
A beam of golden light shot out from his body and instantly pierced the tip of the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Tower!
"Boom!"
Above the royal palace of Chang'an City, a colossal pillar of golden light shot straight into the heavens, piercing the clouds. Ripples of golden light began to spread, and in an instant, the clouds above the palace transformed into a golden ocean, expanding outwards in circles, appearing like a golden canopy that obscured the sun and shielded the earth!
As the golden ocean churned, the nine ancient and majestic bronze cauldrons on the ancestral temple altar of the royal palace emitted wisps of golden light, each one swallowing and expelling boundless brilliance!!
"Clang~~"
"Clang~~"
"Clang~~"
.......
After absorbing the immense faith points from the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Tower, the Nine Cauldrons boomed, and waves of potent vital energy radiated outwards from them, covering the entire territory of the Great Han.
The Nine Cauldrons, like descending deities, emitted a faint halo, encompassing mountains and rivers, the sun and moon, the stars, all living beings, and the vastness of the cosmos!!
The golden silhouette of the colossal bronze cauldrons stood in the void above the southwestern region. With each booming resonance, vital energy poured like a torrential downpour from the golden ocean onto the Great Han's territory.
"What is that?"
In the newly designated territory of Beihan Prefecture, Fan Lingyue, the Empress of Weiyang, who had departed from the imperial capital of the Weiyang Dynasty and was en route to Chang'an, looked up at the golden bronze cauldrons in the void. The intensely pure vital energy, unlike anything she had ever seen, cascaded down like a mighty river. Upon touching her, her cultivation realm subtly shifted.
"That is our dynasty's Luck Nine Cauldrons, suppressing the fortune of our nation!"
Zhou Yuji said calmly. Following the King's orders, Qi Jiguang and Cen Peng had led their armies to garrison the border. Qi Jiguang had instructed him to accompany Empress Fan Lingyue of Weiyang to Chang'an to meet King Yang Hao of Han!
"Luck Nine Cauldrons!"
Empress Fan Lingyue of Weiyang gazed at the bronze cauldrons, which seemed like divine artifacts, ethereal and immeasurable!
"Great Han!!"
Empress Fan Lingyue of Weiyang murmured softly. These divine-like bronze cauldrons, like deities, shaped the entire southwestern region. She found it hard to comprehend how these bronze cauldrons could unleash vital energy potent enough to nurture the vast territories and countless beings of the southwestern region!
Great Han!
Immeasurable!
The booming sounds that resonated in all directions propelled the golden ocean to completely envelop the entire southwestern region. Carrying potent vital energy, it spread across countless miles of mountains and rivers. The dense golden vital energy permeated the earth, and upon touching all things, it instantly dissipated, merging into the void. The vital energy in the void also doubled.
"Hummm~~"
"Roar!"
......
The ten-thousand-zhang-long Luck Five-Clawed Golden Dragon joyfully traversed the vast expanse of the southwestern region, surveying the newly incorporated lands of the Great Han!
"Hahaha!"
"I've broken through!"
"I've broken through!"
Countless human martial artists shattered their own barriers. This initial wave of vital energy absorption was the most concentrated and purest. In the southwestern region, countless humans, demonic beasts, and even trees frantically devoured the vital energy in the void.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Luck Nine Cauldrons have been successfully upgraded to Level Eight, and the realm seal has been lifted!"
"With the Luck Nine Cauldrons reaching Level Eight, it's finally time to break through!"
Within the sleeping chambers, Yang Hao opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and looking at the golden light filling the hall, he exhaled deeply. His gaze was sharp and filled with anticipation!
Through his own efforts, he had already reached the peak of the Heavenly Martial realm. With one hundred and fifty million faith points remaining, he wondered to what extent his cultivation would advance!
He closed his eyes slightly, and nine golden dragons shot out from his body, circling him and emitting roars!
After about half an hour, his vital energy reached its peak, and muffled dragon roars echoed throughout the hall.
"System, use faith points to advance my realm!"
"Ding! Successfully deducted two hundred million faith points!"
"Ding! Alert host, faith points have been entirely consumed!"
"Roar!"
The nine dragons roared furiously. Yang Hao's eyes suddenly opened, his vital energy surging, and dense golden light enveloped his entire body.
"Rumble!!"
It was as if divine thunder struck within him. His blood boiled, flowing rapidly through his meridians like a rushing river. Terrifying auras erupted!
"Roar!"
The ten-thousand-zhang Five-Clawed Golden Dragon in the void returned to the royal palace of Chang'an City and hovered above Yang Hao's sleeping chambers, glaring at the heavens!
"Hoo!"
The breakthrough was imminent!
The Reincarnation Xuanhuang Tower emanated profound sounds, and countless golden streams of light instantly seeped into Yang Hao's body. His crimson blood rapidly transformed into golden liquid. Where the golden blood flowed, it was like rushing rivers, surging in all directions!
As the golden blood coursed through every part of Yang Hao's body, his white bones gradually began to emit golden light!
"Boom!"
The moment the golden skeletal structure formed, it was as if divine thunder exploded within him. Layers of what seemed like primordial spirits departing their bodies repeatedly flickered between Yang Hao's physical form and the void!
"Thump~~"
"Thump~~"
"Thump~~"
......
Yang Hao felt his heart pounding. With each beat, the turbulent golden blood gradually stabilized!
Following that, his realm rapidly advanced!
Heaven Merging First Level!
Heaven Merging Second Level!
Heaven Merging Third Level!
.......
Heaven Transformation Eighth Level!
Heaven Transformation Ninth Level!
"Boom!"
Thunder struck again. Yang Hao's complexion suddenly turned pale, and the vital energy of the entire Chang'an City poured madly towards the location of Yang Hao's sleeping chambers!
Li Si, Changsun Wuji... and the other heroes, gazing towards the royal palace, all wore smiles!
"Absorb!"
Yang Hao roared, and the dense golden light filling the hall was instantly swallowed by him!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully stepping into the Heaven Piercing First Level!"
Heaven Piercing!
Yang Hao felt the vast vital energy within him. With a lift of his hand, he could hold back rivers and break through mountains!
Upon entering the Heaven Piercing realm, one gains a lifespan of five thousand years!
