Chapter 862: Chapter 449 Stone Statue_2

He certainly couldn’t wait for ten days; the Demon World was changing every single day. With the impending descent of the Demon Abyss ahead and the Heavenly Race behind, staying in the Divine Heavenly Realm meant there were many things he couldn’t do, which severely affected the speed at which he could enhance his strength.

Without continuing the foreknowledge, he performed the Universe in the Sleeve, and an old man in a green robe with a thin figure appeared before him.

After sharing a blow from the Heavenly Race, the old man was in a terrible state. Even after five or six twelve-hour periods, he was still exhaling more than he was inhaling,

Seeing the culprit who had caused such a predicament, the old man exclaimed in shock and anger, “What on earth do you want to do? Are you not afraid of the retaliation from our Clan Elders?”

The old man tried to threaten Su Nan, whose expression remained unchanging as he said, “You will never get to see that day, for they are all dead already.”

“Dead? No! Impossible!” The old man naturally refused to believe it.

Su Nan, not bothering to engage in idle chatter, waved his hand once again, and several corpses appeared before him—they were the peak Emperor-level ancestors from the Divine Descendant and Celestial Progeny Clans!

Although these ancestors were peak Emperors and could no longer use the God and Demon Sky Devour technique to absorb them following their deaths, he could still refine their essence and blood with the Xuanhuang Refining Qi Furnace to mend the Heavenly Demon Bone Umbrella and activate the Across the Heavens Shift boat.

“Our, our ancestors!” The old man in the green robe, seeing the corpses, went stupified, his face a picture of shock, before deflating like a leaky ball.

…

Twelve hours later.

Su Nan subsequently visited the main cities of both the Celestial Progeny and Divine Descendant Clans.

With the old man in the green robe present, Su Nan didn’t need to make a move himself. Upon hearing that their ancestors had fallen, the experts from both clans had no will to resist and all submitted.

Su Nan easily entered the Treasure Vaults of both clans.

Just like in the foreknowledge, there were quite a few good items in the Treasure Vaults of both clans, including ancient scriptures, Technique Seeds, Divine Ability Seeds, and even an Ancient Treasure.

There was an abundance of ancient scriptures. Both clans’ collections added together amounted to well over a hundred volumes.

Unfortunately, although these ancient scriptures weren’t common possessions, they were also not exceedingly precious items—at least, not to Su Nan.

Six Technique Seeds and three Divine Ability Seeds.

Su Nan checked each one.

He was disappointed, for these mystical techniques and ancient scriptures, like the others, weren’t anything particularly special.

Out of the six Technique Seeds, three were for combat; however, these three techniques only had the power comparable to a single strike from an ordinary King-level powerhouse.

Of the remaining three Technique Seeds, one could be used for fleeing, one for enhancing defense, and another possessed the ability to turn invisible.

As for the three Divine Ability Seeds, they were even more useless: one could summon thunder, another could control water, and a third could turn stone into gold.

“It seems I was overthinking it,” sighed Su Nan. Despite having anticipated this outcome, seeing the seeds before him still made him shake his head.

Comparatively, there weren’t a few Divine Power Fragments—there were as many as twelve.

“With these twelve fragments, I’ll be able to elevate the third-tier Divine Ability to the fourth tier. But which one should I enhance?”

Su Nan hesitated, considering which of the Divine Abilities he had acquired he should improve.

He currently possessed four Divine Abilities: Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transmutations, Across the Heavens Shift, Universe in the Sleeve, and Mirror Flower, Water Moon, which he had just recently acquired.

In addition to those three just obtained, he still had one unused Divine Ability Seed of “Anything Goes.”

Of the four Divine Abilities, both Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transmutations and Across the Heavens Shift had been elevated to the third tier, Universe in the Sleeve to the fourth tier, and Mirror Flower, Water Moon had not been enhanced since he had only recently obtained it.

“If I continue to enhance Across the Heavens Shift, I’ll increase the number of uses and the shifting distance. Given my current realm, increasing the distance by one or two thousand kilometers or adding one or two more uses doesn’t make much sense anymore, so there’s no need to continue enhancing it.”

“Continuing to enhance Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transmutations would allow for a greater degree of utilization of the Talent in essence and blood—that’s worth considering.”

Su Nan thought about the Heavenly Race old man he had killed, who was peak Emperor-level, and was able to employ Destiny Grafting. This showed that Destiny Grafting wasn’t exclusive to Saint Level.

If he continued to enhance Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transmutations, perhaps using the essence and blood of an Emperor-level being from the Heavenly Race would allow him to perform Destiny Grafting as well.

“Universe in the Sleeve is indeed strong, but it can only deal with the Early Stage of Emperor Level for now. Even if I continue to enhance it, it might at most be useful against Middle-stage and Late-stage Emperor Grade. It’s not keeping up with my improvement, plus it requires as many as sixteen fragments to continue enhancing.”

“Mirror Flower, Water Moon is an interesting Divine Ability. I initially thought it would only help reduce part of the damage at critical moments. But being able to dodge the strike from the Heavenly Race this time shows that it’s not just the body that’s transformed from reality to illusion—perhaps even fate itself is hidden.”
