Immortal Hero: I Can See the Success Rate-Chapter 55 - Advance to the Golden Core Stage!

Chapter 55: Advance to the Golden Core Stage!

Lin An had never thought that the Eastern Emperor Bell would actually undergo a mutation.

It seemed that the defensive treasure had actually devoured Lin Dong’s weapons, as well as the Sirius Battle Armor!

Lin An hadn’t expected such an outcome.

‘What’s going on? Can treasures actually devour each other?’

When Lin An saw that the golden light was enveloping his body, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of confidence. The Eastern Emperor Bell had become twice as strong after devouring the other magic treasures, so he was no longer afraid of the underworld heavenly king.

Lin An looked around the area and noticed a decent weapon lying beside the corpse of one of the Heavenly Mystery Sect disciples, so he ran over to pick it up.

Once the underworld heavenly king had killed all the Heavenly Mystery Sect disciples, Lin An was the only living disciple left in the pyramid. The monster pointed its spear at Lin An, and four sky demons brandished their weapons and charged at him.

Each of the four sky demons had combat skills comparable to a peak golden core stage disciple, but Lin An was not afraid. The Eastern Emperor Bell in his possession immediately emitted a golden light that covered the surface of Lin An’s body, providing him with a layer of invulnerability.

He immediately raised the sword he had picked up and charged at the four sky demons.

Clang!

Although Lin An was only at the peak of the foundation establishment stage, his new defensive treasure had already raised his physical abilities to the point where he was not at a disadvantage when compared to a golden core stage rival. When Lin An and the sky demon clashed, his strength prevailed, and the weapon in the demon’s claws cracked open. Abruptly, the sky demon was sent flying across the room by Lin An’s tremendous power.

As Lin An was attacking the first sky demon, a second sky demon had slashed its weapon towards his head. However, the Eastern Emperor Bell’s light repelled the knife.

In an instant, black and white ashen flames surged out of Lin An’s body and lapped towards the other two sky demons that hadn’t had the chance to attack. As the demons shrieked in pain, Lin An felt that the black flames seemed to have become a little stronger.

The connection between the black and white ashen flames was that they would always be simultaneously strong and weak. Once the black flames became stronger, half of the extra energy was transferred to the white flames.

The white flames had already shot out towards one of the sky demons. After receiving the additional power, their size increased dramatically, and they instantly froze the sky demon into an ice sculpture.

One of the characteristics of the ‘Scripture of No Beginning’ was that the more a cultivator fought, the stronger they became. After the first round of battle, Lin An felt that the power in his body had risen substantially.

He straightened up with significant force and sent the knife that had been pressed against his neck flying across the pyramid. At the same time, he swung the sword in his hand toward the sky demon at the side.

The sky demon was shocked, and just as it was about to dodge the attack, the white flames suddenly consumed it and froze it into a snowman-like sculpture.

Instantly, Lin An used his sword to cut the frozen sky demon into two halves.

In just two rounds of battle, three out of the four sky demons had perished. There was still a sky demon lying on the ground, but the underworld heavenly king looked at Lin An with a cautious gaze. It felt that the human cultivator was different from the disciples the sky demons had previously killed.

Lin An swiftly charged toward the last sky demon on the ground.

“Brat, how dare you!”

The underground heavenly king flew down from its perch and swept its demon flag towards the black flame. Its strength was comparable to that of a nascent soul stage cultivator, and although the black flame was strange and unpredictable, when faced with a natural gap in strength, it couldn’t be effective. The demon’s flag swept it away, and the black flame flew back into Lin An’s body.

After the underground heavenly king staved off the black flame, a pair of huge black wings flapped on its back, and it flew towards Lin An.

Despite the oncoming attack, Lin An remained fearless. He took a step forward and slashed his sword at the demon general.

Suddenly, mana spirit energy surged from Lin An’s sword and blasted toward the underground heavenly king.

“Humph, your petty tricks will not work!”

The demon general held up its flag, and the golden light hit it and shattered in all directions.

However, the vast power contained within the golden light had caused the underworld heavenly king’s body to stagnate.

“Demon, take my blade!”

Even though the demon general had blocked his strike, Lin An seized the opportunity to amplify his attack. He rushed forward and slashed out the long blade in his hand.

Clang!

The sword swiftly broke inch by inch on the underground heavenly king’s battle armor and disintegrated into more than ten pieces.

Abruptly, the ‘Scripture of No Beginning’ revolved within Lin An’s body, and he felt his strength increase again.

At the same time, the underworld heavenly king countered the previous attack by draping its demon flag towards Lin An.

“Morality demon sealing technique!”

Although the demon general had only used an ordinary attack, Lin An didn’t dare to be careless. He hurriedly circulated the morality demon sealing technique and then cautiously struck out his palm and held onto the demon’s flag.

He immediately felt a surge of power flowing through the flag and zapping his body, and the Eastern Emperor Bell intensified its golden light defense. However, even after he activated the morality demon sealing technique, Lin An could not resist the demon general’s power.

Fortunately, the black and white ashen flames surged out from his body and attached themselves to the demon flag. Only then did Lin An manage to block the demon general’s attack.

The underground heavenly king was greatly shocked. It immediately sensed that Lin An was more than twice as strong as before.

How had such a junior cultivator achieved a rapid increase in strength in such a short period of time? When it scanned Lin An’s aura, the demon general could tell that he wasn’t using a life-burning technique.

Suddenly, an immense force struck the demon general’s body through its flag, making it feel tremendous pressure.

The underworld heavenly king was alarmed, but it was too late for it to escape.

Ping!

The demon general’s flag tore through the middle. Lin An quickly pounced on the demon general and pushed the broken debris of the flag back into the underworld heavenly king’s flesh. Finally, he nailed the shrapnel into the pyramid’s wall and stepped back to gaze at the demon general’s dangling corpse.

Immediately, a humming sound rang out in the pyramid. Lin An raised his head and scanned the room as a relieved expression formed on his face.

He had successfully completed the trial.

In an instant, several treasures appeared at the top of the pyramid.

According to the rules, Lin An could choose three treasures from the pyramid.

After surveying his options, Lin An finally picked the treasures that pleased him the most.

The first treasure was a cultivation technique that was based on profound flame transformation. Once activated, flames would burst out and surround the user, providing a powerful advantage during attacks.

Lin An felt that he could use the technique with his black and white ashen flames to increase their explosive power.

The second treasure that Lin An chose was the mythical Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword.

It was a strange sword that continuously increased in size once it took a life or spilled blood during combat.

Lin An’s third treasure was an advancement pill.

After he chose the pill, a notification from the success rate system popped up in front of Lin An’s eyes.

[Ding! If the host swallows this pill, the success rate of advancing to the golden core stage will be 100%!]

‘Okay. I’ll choose these three items.’

Lin An picked the profound flame transformation technique, the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword, and the advancement pill.

A white light flashed across the room, and the three items wafted above the pyramid and floated towards Lin An.

He immediately took the advancement pill and swallowed it and then sat cross-legged and began to break through the foundation establishment stage.

Spiritual energy flowed through Lin An’s body, and it circulated in the regular pattern of nine small cycles and one large cycle.

After a day of meditation, Lin An suddenly absorbed all the free Heaven and Earth energy in the pyramid into his body.

“Phew!” Lin An opened his eyes. “I’ve successfully advanced to the golden gore stage!”
