Boom!

With a bang, the aura in Chu Yunfan’s body burst out. It had increased by leaps and bounds.

The third level of the Acquired Stage!

This was a brand new cultivation level. Along with Chu Yunfan’s breakthrough, his strength had also increased by at least 50%. And he had just broken through. Once he was allowed to cultivate and consolidate it, his cultivation base would increase even further.

Upon stepping into the third-level Acquired Stage, the blood-red energy in Chu Yunfan’s body dissipated into nothingness as it had been completely absorbed by him. Although he had only absorbed a small part of it, it had helped him break through. One could only imagine how much of an increase he would have had if he had absorbed all of it.

But Chu Yunfan was not regretful. If he could not keep up with his cultivation level and comprehension, forcefully increasing his cultivation base would only slow down his growth.

Chu Yunfan was now closer to the level he needed to be for the Death Arena one year from now, but it was still not enough.

At this moment, the Demon Descends Illustration in front of Chu Yunfan was no longer as terrifying as before. From afar, it looked like just an ordinary picture scroll.

“What a pity. The will and divine thoughts of the Almighty in this illustration must have been used up. Without the Almighty’s will, this is just an ordinary picture scroll,” Chu Yunfan murmured regretfully.

However, Chu Yunfan quickly realized that not all of the Almighty’s divine thoughts had been used up. There was still a shred of divine thoughts hidden in the deepest part of the picture.

In other words, the Demon Descends Illustration had not been completely destroyed yet. It could still be restored. If that shred of divine thoughts could be restored, it would definitely surpass the power of the Innate Stage judging by the power it displayed earlier.

To Chu Yunfan, this was undoubtedly an unprecedented trump card, but it was not easy to restore the Demon Descends Illustration. Chu Yunfan could not possibly slaughter 100,000 living beings like the cult master for the sake of refining this demonic treasure.

If it was just Chu Yunfan, there was no way he would be able to achieve such a thing. However, he had the Alchemy Emperor’s memories. Among them, there was a technique called the All Heavens Refining Technique. By relying on this technique, Chu Yunfan could refine this illustration and not be harmed by this demonic treasure. He would then be able to control this illustration. However, this process would take some time.

All the energy within the Demon Descends Illustration had been absorbed by Chu Yunfan and the Godhead. If he wanted to reactivate this illustration, he would have to provide it with energy. If he could not find another source of energy, the illustration would surely suck him dry.

This demonic treasure had both advantages and disadvantages. Of course, Chu Yunfan was not about to abandon it just because it was a demonic treasure that had been refined with the lives of 100,000 living beings. That would be foolish. Although it was a demonic treasure, it still boiled down to who wielded its power. If it was in Chu Yunfan’s hands, he was confident that he would use it right.

However, if Chu Yunfan wanted to use this Demon Descends Illustration, ordinary energy was not enough. He had to use Spirit Stones formed in the Kunlun Realm to activate it.

According to Chu Yunfan’s estimation, even the initial activation of the illustration would require 100 low-grade Spirit Stones. If he wanted to restore the illustration to its peak power, he would need at least 10 times more than that.

In other words, Chu Yunfan needed to prepare thousands of low-grade spirit stones before he could use the illustration. According to the current price of Spirit Stones, Chu Yunfan would need to burn through billions to fund the restoration of the illustration.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan could only take the Demon Descends Illustration as a strategic trump card. He would refrain from using it unless faced against a behemoth on the level of the Federation Government. The illustration had a limited number of uses.

If the full power of the Demon Descends Illustration was to be released, the power would surely be comparable to that of a powerhouse who had gained divine abilities. It would cost tens of millions to hire an Acquired Stage warrior.

“Hahahahaha!” Chu Yunfan laughed. To him, it did not matter how much he had to pay. The most important thing was that he now truly had a trump card in his grasp.

‘The most important thing now is to think of a way to collect Spirit Stones,’ Chu Yunfan thought to himself. It was difficult for an ordinary person to obtain spirit stones. However, he was a student of Federation University. It would not be too difficult for him to obtain tens of thousands of spirit stones. He only needed to be able to afford them. For him, billions in Spirit Stones was still an astronomical sum of money.

“If I can’t find another, I might as well sell the basic alchemy formula. Bai Hong should have already reached the final step in his deduction. To obtain the final step of the formula, Bai Hong would definitely be willing to pay.

“However, there are many people who are willing to pay for the final step. I might not have to rely on Bai Hong,” Chu Yunfan mused. Even if he kept the formula, it would not be of much use to him.

But if Chu Yunfan handed it over, there was no doubt that the level of alchemy in the human world would soar. This was not something that could be compared with handing over one or two pill formulas.

What would follow would be explosive growth in humanity’s strength. To put it bluntly, if Chu Yunfan handed over the basic formula, it would be easy for humanity’s strength to double within twenty years.

Chu Yunfan was not against this. After all, he was also a member of humanity. However, he had to pay attention to when and how he handed it over. Whether or not he could withstand the huge storm that would follow was something that needed careful consideration.

In the end, Chu Yunfan was still too weak. If he was a little stronger and had the reputation of the Alchemy King, or even Bai Hong’s reputation and status, it would not be much of a surprise if he were to produce the basic formula.

However, Chu Yunfan had no time to ponder over this. Just as he was thinking about these things, a figure barged into the palace. It was none other than the cult master of the Blood Devourers. But compared to his previous high-spirited demeanor, the cult master was currently in a sorry state. His chest had been ripped open by a terrifying attack. He had almost been blasted into two halves. Blood flowed down his body.

How could this person be the majestic cult master of the Blood Devourers?
