My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 478: Chapter 320: Yuanyuan’s Difficult Labor, Yao Yao Shows Her Skills

”I’m Tier Twelve now.”

Late at night, Li Xiang was cultivating on the second-floor terrace. His Spiritual Power had grown profound, and his foundation at the Eleventh Tier had become incredibly solid—perfect and flawless. In the end, he could no longer suppress his power and broke through another tier, advancing to Tier Twelve.

However, no Lifebound Rune manifested this time. According to his experience from his past life and his conversations with Luo Feifei, an average Extraordinary Being would manifest six Inscriptions at most. Those with poorer aptitude often had fewer than six. For instance, some who were stuck at the First Tier their entire lives only had one. Others, despite being able to cultivate beyond Tier Six, were limited by their talent and only had two or three Superpower Runes.

Li Xiang, however, already had nine. What’s more, one of them was the ”Earth Pivot World Record,” a rare Great Lifebound Rune that typically only appeared at the Saint Tier. A single Inscription encompassed dozens of Earth Superpowers, which was simply absurd.

Following the breakthrough in his Realm, the Attributes of each Inscription within his Spiritual Power vortex also increased. Among them, ”Extreme Speed” rose to about Mach 14, while ”Giant Power” reached a terrifying 260,000 kilograms.

His Otherworldly Warehouse expanded again. He hadn’t even had a chance to scavenge for supplies to fill the space from the last upgrade because he was spending time with Jiang Cai’Er. And now, it had just increased eightfold again.

However, spending time with Jiang Cai’Er was, of course, more important than scavenging for supplies. The two had gotten a taste for it, and their Dual Cultivation sessions had been extremely frequent lately. So, it was only natural for him to break through again.

Li Xiang found it quite hard to adjust after they parted ways.

The reason he had returned this time was that Jiang Cai’Er had sent him away. Her school semester was starting, and she herself found his advances ”unbearable,” unable to withstand his onslaught. Li Xiang’s stamina seemed endless; he was practically inhuman.

Li Xiang left Jiang Cai’Er with plenty of Spiritual Medicine and returned home. Sure enough, on the second day after he got back, he could no longer suppress his power and broke through.

It was September, and a refreshing autumn breeze was blowing. Li Xiang reflected on the past and realized it had been almost two years since his rebirth and return home. He couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

The side length of his cubic Otherworldly Warehouse had gone from 2048 meters to 4096 meters. Its total volume had expanded to 4096m x 4096m x 4096m, totaling 68.72 cubic kilometers.

A space this vast could no longer be conveniently compared to a ship’s displacement. Even an aircraft carrier with a displacement of over one hundred thousand tons would be nothing but a small fry tossed inside.

Li Xiang pondered when he should take another trip around the world to fill up the warehouse. While scavenging for supplies, he could also search for large Bat Caves to get another wave of Achievement Points.

Of course, if he came across any wild beasts with Extraordinary potential, he would take care of them while he was at it.

The night was deep, and the bamboo sea on the back mountain churned like inky waves. A dark shadow suddenly leaped out, moving with incredible agility, and reached Li Xiang’s side in just a few bounds.

”What’s wrong, Tuantuan?” It was none other than ”Kung Fu Panda.” Tuantuan could now be considered fully grown, his body even more powerful and imposing than before.

”CHUFF, CHUFF...” Tuantuan huffed, gesturing with his paws.

Li Xiang immediately understood. ”You’re saying Yuanyuan is about to give birth?”

”HUFF, HUFF!” Tuantuan nodded eagerly.

”Come on, I’ll go with you and take a look.” As the ”patriarch” of the family, Li Xiang naturally had to be there when the household’s Divine Beast was giving birth. Besides, since they were animals and not humans, he, a man, was allowed into the ”delivery room.”

The ”delivery room” was a cave Li Xiang had specially built for Yuanyuan. At this moment, Tuantuan’s mother, Huanhuan, and Lele were all standing guard nearby, extremely anxious.

Huanhuan was also an Extraordinary Exotic Beast. It was crouched in the very back, protectively hovering over Yuanyuan, but unfortunately, it was too young and had no idea how to handle the situation.

As soon as Li Xiang arrived, the pandas all moved aside, making room for him.

The space was a little cramped. An earthy yellow light bloomed from Li Xiang, expanding the cave a bit more. It was now about as high as a Shanbei Cave House, but only about three meters deep.

His Superpower had become truly masterful. He hadn’t made any conscious movements to achieve this; it was as if the cave had silently expanded on its own the moment he entered, without a single speck of dirt falling. Furthermore, the cave walls were extremely smooth, as if they had been ”tiled.” In reality, he had used the Rock Armor Technique to apply a thick Protective Shell.

’After all,’ he thought, ’a mother is in labor here. What if all the commotion stresses Yuanyuan out?’

”Don’t panic, don’t panic, Yuanyuan. I’m here to help.” Li Xiang took a look and discovered that Yuanyuan was having a difficult birth.

The main issue was that her birth canal was too small and she was having a litter of three. On top of that, her usual diet was too rich. He had fed her too much and often secretly given her Spirit Fruits, causing the cubs to grow too large, which made a natural birth difficult.

The expert team had previously advised him to let nature take its course and minimize human intervention. They had been right. Li Xiang felt ashamed. He hadn’t listened at the time—or perhaps he had misunderstood. Spirit Fruits were not a panacea, and now, his good intentions had backfired.

On top of that, there seemed to be another serious problem: the cub closest to the birth canal was in a breech position, and its umbilical cord was wrapped around it several times.

Li Xiang soothed Yuanyuan while placing a hand on her belly to massage it. At the same time, he circulated his Spiritual Power, hoping he could ”remotely” shift the cub to correct its position and ”untangle” the umbilical cord in the process.

But he was just a guy, not an obstetrician; how could he possibly know how to do something like this? A full two or three minutes passed. He managed to correct the cub’s position, but the umbilical cord only seemed to wrap even tighter.

Sweat broke out on Li Xiang’s brow. He wondered if there was still time to rush Yuanyuan to the provincial capital to find the expert team.
