One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

[You comprehended a Divine Ability application in battle, combining the ”Mountain-Bearing” Divine Ability with the killing move ”Shattering Star Ripple Finger” to create an entirely new Divine Art—the ”Light Speed Fist”!]

[Yes, this is a cultivation technique.]

[As long as you record the insights and process of this application, along with the full text of ”Shattering Star Ripple Finger,” others might be able to learn it—provided they have comprehended ”Mountain-Bearing.”]

[”Shattering Star Ripple Finger” itself is sixth-grade, considered a mid-to-low-tier technique by the Real Realm’s standards.]

[But once combined with an Earth Fiend Divine Ability and transformed into a Divine Art, it jumps directly to third-grade!]

[The ”Light Speed Fist” is characterized by using super strength to generate super speed, applying that initial velocity to an energy beam excited by primordial energy, causing that energy beam to shoot at near-light speed!]

[You see, light speed is the fastest in the universe; this is part of the laws of heaven and earth.]

[Therefore, no one can react faster than this strike. The moment you see me throw the punch, it means the attack has already landed.]

[Unless one can predict it, or their own resistance can defend against it, they’ll end up like Niu Sanjiao.]

[”Sect Master! Sect Master!”] [Niu Sanjiao’s chest was pierced through, but he could still live.]

[However, under such severe injury, his divine power circulation became sluggish, and his Divine Art execution was delayed.]

[In combat at the Divine Ability level, even a moment’s distraction can decide life and death, let alone when he was in such a terrible state.]

[You charged straight in to finish him off. The Heavenly Dragon Blade, which had evolved into a Spiritual Treasure, shone with cold light that pierced the sun, unstoppable and indestructible. With one slash, you chopped off Niu Sanjiao’s head.]

[A bunch of bull-headed men watched this scene, falling into dead silence.]

[Then, all at once, they knelt down in a neat row, kowtowing in perfect unison.]

[”Spare us, Great Hero!”]

[You looked at them, with not a shred of sympathy in your eyes.]

[”Today, I’m going to teach you all a universal truth.”]

[The bull-headed men, still dazed and clueless, actually responded.]

[”Great Hero, what truth is that?”]

[”If you don’t work hard at cultivation, you’ll be brothers in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!”]

[You swept your blade horizontally, and a row of bull heads soared into the air.]

[The Ten Thousand Souls Banner blazed with golden light, illuminating heaven and earth, drawing all the dissipating souls into the banner.]

[”Whoo-hoo!! Delicious feast!!”]

[You slaughtered everyone in the Blood Iron Sect from top to bottom, letting the Ten Thousand Souls Banner feast to its heart’s content.]

[In terms of quantity, it wasn’t that many, but the quality was high!]

[Never mind Niu Sanjiao at the Extreme Terrain Realm and the experts at the Core Formation Realm—there was a whole bunch at the Qi Transformation Realm!]

[What is the Qi Transformation Realm?]

[In the Void Realm, that’s Martial King, Martial Saint, and Martial God!]

[The Ten Thousand Souls Banner couldn’t unleash many of its techniques without souls.]

[Now, that was no longer a worry.]

[You released all your clones.]

[”Start looting the corpse.”]

[The bull-headed men of the Blood Iron Sect were the type to live for the moment, carpe diem. They definitely had no real foundation.]

[Besides, the bull-headed tribe was a rather dumb race; they couldn’t figure out cultivation creations.]

[But with so many people in the sect, and them plundering and extorting everywhere, there had to be some resources inside and out.]

[You had your clones each carry two storage pouches and ransack the entire Blood Iron Sect.]

[Although resources couldn’t be taken out of the simulation, you needed them during the simulation, and there was never too much.]

[You crouched down and picked up the third lightning-bolt-shaped horn from Niu Sanjiao.]

[The moment Niu Sanjiao died, this third horn had fallen off on its own.]

[Clearly, this thing wasn’t something that grew from his body naturally; he had attached it to his head using some method.]

[”What is this?”]

[”Reverse Engineering” couldn’t produce a blueprint, meaning it wasn’t a cultivation creation—it was a natural object.]

[”Looks like a horn from some kind of exotic beast.”]

[You injected a trace of primordial energy, and the horn immediately sparked with electric light.]

[”High energy conversion rate. Just a tiny bit of primordial energy can trigger a lightning attack.”]

[This was a good item. You could keep it as a cost-effective weapon to use.]

[The surrounding locals, seeing that you had killed all the Blood Iron Sect members and Niu Sanjiao was dead, finally stopped worrying.]

[”We won! We won, we won! That Great Hero of our race won!”]

[”Incredible! He killed a powerhouse at the Extreme Terrain Realm just like that. He must be at Extreme Terrain too, or even stronger!”]

[”Could this guy be from another planet? How could there be such a strong human on Blazing Star?”]

[”Possible! I heard a few years ago, someone destroyed the Demon Sha True Lord’s physical body. Could it be him?”]

[The people’s joy didn’t last long.]

[After a while, they started looking a bit gloomy again.]

[You noticed this phenomenon and walked toward them.]

[Seeing you approach, the crowd immediately knelt down in unison, trying to show respect and gratitude.]

[You waved your hand casually, and a surge of air lifted them up, preventing anyone from kneeling.]

[The people looked at you as if there were a halo of holy light behind you.]

[You spotted the inn proprietress from before; she was also in the crowd.]

[At that moment, she looked at you, flustered and uncertain, clearly not knowing how to communicate with a strong person like you.]

[You, on the other hand, were very natural.]

[”Proprietress, I didn’t boast, did I?”]

[The proprietress waved her hands frantically.]

[”No, no, no. The moment I saw you earlier, I knew you were no ordinary person. Indeed, indeed...”]

[”The Blood Iron Sect is gone, but everyone doesn’t seem very happy.”]

[”Even without one Blood Iron Sect, another sect will come to take over this place. Those bull-headed men are inhuman, but they’re stupid. They can’t even do the math right. Every time they collect taxes, we can fool them and hold a little back for ourselves. Otherwise, this small town would have been drained dry by them long ago. But what race will the next sect be? What if they’re not so easy to fool...”]

[”Humans.”]

[”What?”]

[”The Firewood Sect will take over the Blood Iron Sect’s territory. Go back and wait for good news.”]

[After the clones finished looting, you were covered in storage pouches, clattering and clanging as you left the Blood Iron Sect.]

[You didn’t go back to the Firewood Sect. Instead, you headed to the Qiufeng Sect.]

[Arriving near the Qiufeng Sect, you had your clones spread the news that the alien human strongman who defeated the Demon Sha True Lord had arrived.]

[The Qiufeng Sect caught wind of it and immediately sent many disciples out to search everywhere.]

[In the end, of course, they found you without any trouble.]

[Back then in Xuan Nu Town, the Qiufeng Sect also had experts present, so they recognized you.]

[”The Firewood Sect has some ties with my family. The Blood Iron Sect has been annihilated by me. From now on, let the Firewood Sect manage the Blood Iron Sect’s territory.”]

[”We will certainly follow Senior’s arrangements. Furthermore, we should also exempt the Firewood Sect from taxes for a hundred years!”]

[”Not bad. You have a bright future.”]

[Afterward, the Qiufeng Sect people verified and learned that the Blood Iron Sect had indeed been wiped out by you alone, leaving not even a chicken or a dog alive.]

[Although the bull-headed tribe wasn’t strong, someone who could single-handedly level a sect wasn’t something you saw everywhere.]

[They were even more certain that you were the one who took down the Demon Sha True Lord, so of course, they carried out your instructions to the letter.]
