Chapter 49: Breaking Records, Eleven Celestial Realms

After Fang Han and the others departed, Shi Jian resumed his cultivation within Stone Village. Ever since breaking through to the Paradise realm, his cultivation speed had increased once again.

Consequently, in less than a month, his power had broken through consecutive barriers.

Within Stone Village, echoes of wind and thunder resounded, purple Qi surged, mists drifted ethereally, and countless rays of rosy light billowed.

"Roar..."

A low roar echoed out. Terrifying auras radiated from Shi Jian's entire body. Above his head, one volcanic Paradise after another opened up, and the colossal elephants within the Paradises roared fiercely.

Magma flowed within the volcanic realms, pouring into his physical body.

The vital essence of the entire Stone Village was swept clean by him alone.

"The eleventh Paradise opens..."

A wisp of purple Qi enveloped a tiny figure as it stepped out, radiating a terrifying aura.

"You've actually broken through to the eleventh Paradise. You have achieved an unprecedented feat through the ages!"

Willow Deity's voice echoed in Shi Jian's ears.

In less than a month, transforming from three Paradises to eleven—such speed would frighten people to death if word got out.

Others required a year or even several years to forge a single Paradise.

Yet Shi Jian was able to shatter barriers one after another, ascending to even higher plateaus.

More importantly, he had forged the unprecedented eleventh Paradise.

"This is all thanks to Fang Han's Yin-Yang Longevity Pill..."

Shi Jian said with a smile. Relying solely on his own innate talent, no matter how heaven-defying it was, it would have been difficult for him to forge the eleventh Paradise in just one short month.

It was primarily due to the "Yin-Yang Longevity Pill" given to him by Fang Han.

This Yin-Yang Longevity Pill was refined from three thousand eight hundred and one kinds of immortal herbs, possessing all sorts of profound mysteries and capable of extending one's life by six hundred years.

In the original narrative, Fang Han used this Yin-Yang Longevity Pill to win over other true successor disciples within the Thearch Sect, intending to form an alliance to counter Hua Tiandu.

However, now with the chat group, Fang Han naturally had no need to ally with disciples of the Thearch Sect.

Thus, he simply gifted this Yin-Yang Longevity Pill to Shi Jian.

Shi Jian accepted it without the slightest bit of politeness.

Bolstered by the medicinal efficacy of the Yin-Yang Longevity Pill, coupled with the Hell Furnace condensed from the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force after breaking through to the Paradise realm,

the combination of the two allowed Shi Jian to break through to the eleventh Paradise in just one month.

The Hell Furnace was a profound cultivation method within the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force.

Once the Hell Furnace was condensed within the body, it could refine everything and devour everything.

It could massively plunder vital essence, the origin energy of heaven and earth, and even the essence of the sun and moon, as well as the power of the stars.

All these essences were smelted through the furnace, transforming into his own primordial life source.

This primordial life source would then stimulate the colossal elephant embryos, subsequently awakening the embryos and fusing them with the Paradises...

That was why Shi Jian's cultivation speed was so terrifying.

He stomped his feet hard against the ground, and his entire body soared into the wind, a pair of demonic wings sprouting from his back.

This was precisely the supreme flying technique recorded within the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force.

At this moment, his overall strength had ushered in a massive leap forward.

In terms of cultivation, he possessed the Original True Interpretation and the Demonic Furnace to accelerate his pace.

In terms of defense, he possessed the supreme defensive technique, the Guardian of the God of the Underworld.

In terms of offense, he possessed the Spear of the God of the Underworld and the Black Emperor's Water-Emperor Fist.

In terms of movement, he possessed the Demonic Wings.

Every single one of these divine abilities could rival divine techniques of the Ten Fiends level.

At the Paradise realm, absolutely no one was a match for Shi Jian.

"Willow Deity, I wish to challenge that old Suanni. What do you think?"

He consulted the Willow Deity.

He had been longing for that old Suanni for a long time.

For one, it could be used to baptize the little guy, and afterward, it could serve to test his own strength.

Shi Jian lacked a clear understanding of his current strength; he urgently needed a powerful opponent to display his prowess.

Moreover, he planned to leave Stone Village and head to the Deer-Huting Academy right after slaying the Suanni.

The resources around Stone Village were already insufficient to support his breakthrough to the Spirit-Transforming realm.

Besides, the majority of his possessions were currently still at Deer-Huting Academy.

"Very well!"

The Willow Deity responded.

"Your strength is already sufficient to challenge that Suanni!"

That Suanni currently only possessed the strength of the Spirit-Transforming realm. With Shi Jian's complete arsenal, he was fully capable of slaying enemies across realms!

Shi Jian nodded, then turned without the slightest hesitation and flew toward the mountain ranges.

He knew the mountain range where that Suanni inhabited.

Spreading his demonic wings, Shi Jian arrived at a vast mountain range before long.

The Suanni's colossal divine physique was extremely conspicuous within the mountains.

Golden rosy light emanated from its body, rising like a miniature sun and flashing amidst the mountain forests.

Its legs, as thick as pillars, were strong and powerful, covered in golden beast fur that shone dazzlingly as if cast from pure gold.

What drew the eye most were the primal runes constantly flickering across the Suanni's body, their blinding rosy light dazzling to behold.

Fierce beasts could not be measured by size alone, but this Suanni possessed a body fully six meters in length.

The old Suanni—an ancient, terrifying creature.

However, the old Suanni was now advanced in years; although the aura emanating from its body remained formidable, it was already aged and in its twilight years.

Upon spotting an intruder in its territory, the old Suanni let out a roar.

"Roar!"

The single roar shook the mountain range, sending countless birds flying in panic.

Innumerable fierce beasts turned their gazes toward the source.

"A fine opponent..."

Shi Jian let out a hearty laugh. The Spear of the God of the Underworld condensed in his hand, and the next moment, countless underworld vortices formed as he hurled the spear forward in a single motion.

The long spear emitted a dazzling radiance, plunging into the old Suanni's body in the blink of an eye and piercing clean through it.

However, the Spear of the God of the Underworld did not pass completely through the Suanni; it penetrated only a portion of its flesh.

The Spear of the God of the Underworld thrown by Shi Jian was capable of piercing through an entire mountain peak, yet it failed to pass completely through this Suanni—one could easily imagine the terrifying resilience of this old Suanni's physical body.

"Roar!"

The old Suanni let out a roar of pain.

It was one thing for a human to invade its territory, but to actively attack it as well—who could endure this?

Golden light erupted across the old Suanni's body, scattering countless rays of brilliance until the entire forest was bathed in radiance.

Enveloped in golden light, the Suanni leaped toward Shi Jian, its fierce might overwhelming the heavens.

The roar resonated like thunder from the nine heavens, instantly causing the entire forest to tremble.

The old Suanni's speed reached the absolute extreme, transforming practically into a streak of golden lightning.

A suit of pitch-black armor suddenly appeared over Shi Jian's body—the Guardian of the God of the Underworld, the ultimate defensive art!

A flash of golden light, and the old Suanni crashed directly into the Guardian of the God of the Underworld. Its speed was simply too fast; even with Shi Jian's lightning-fast reflexes, his entire body was sent flying backward!
