Chapter 1
"At last, I've attained the Golden Core stage!"
Boom!
The universe shook as the young man stood up.
Streams of light shimmered beneath him, and a shadow of a shield soared.
After a brief moment, he touched down, and the solid dan yuan in his dantian stabilized, gradually settling.
"Younger master me, I've finally acquired the ability to defend myself!"
Shen Tianyu was ecstatic, but then his expression turned sorrowful.
"If only I could remain here forever."
Three years prior, Shen Tianyu had crossed over from Blue Star.
In this realm, cultivation is widespread, and everyone aspires to the path of immortality.
Violence and bloodshed dominate the cultivation landscape.
In the thriving cultivation world, it's said that Golden Core cultivators are as numerous as dogs, and Nascent Soul cultivators are ubiquitous.
Luckily, as a transmigrator, Shen Tianyu enjoys the system's protection.
In this isolated space, he had three years to cultivate in solitude.
For three years, Shen Tianyu practiced tirelessly every moment.
Finally, today, he successfully advanced to the Golden Core stage, signifying he possesses some combat capability.
"Less than a day remains."
The protective space provided by the system is about to vanish, and Shen Tianyu will confront the harsh world directly.
Gazing at this world, filled with patches of unripe heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Shen Tianyu gritted his teeth.
"Forget it, I'll consume them all."
Although directly consuming unripe heavenly materials and earthly treasures is wasteful.
But it's preferable to being forced out of the protective space and leaving these treasures behind unused.
Spiritual power surged, and patches of heavenly materials and earthly treasures were uprooted.
With a flick of his hand, the heavenly materials and earthly treasures flew towards him.
"Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art!"
The technique Shen Tianyu practices is known as the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art.
This art devours heaven, earth, and all things; it absorbs everything in the world into the body, extracts their essence as nourishment, and utilizes it to enhance cultivation and realm.
Even those with extremely poor talent can defy the odds and alter their fate with the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art.
It is precisely by relying on this art that Shen Tianyu was able to progress from an ordinary person to surpassing the Body Forging, Qi Refining, Foundation Building stages, and reaching the Golden Core realm in three years.
One by one, the heavenly materials and earthly treasures entered his stomach, and his entire body's spiritual energy noticeably increased.
Time passed quietly, and after Shen Tianyu had consumed all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
The system panel activated, and information appeared before his eyes.
[Name: Shen Tianyu
Realm: Early Golden Core
Technique: Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art
Spells: Three Thousand Great Dao, Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, Vajra Indestructible Body, Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, Origin Divine Fist, Ancestral Saint Fist, Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Divine Fist...
Treasures: Nine Divine Weapons, Heavenly Emperor Sword, Zhuxian Four Swords, Wushi Bell, Void Mirror...]
...
"After consuming so much, I'm still only at Early Golden Core. Cultivating after leaving the protective space will be even more challenging."
As soon as he finished speaking, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
[The three-year period has concluded, system protection is terminated, forced departure program activated, dear host, proceed to the cultivation world to battle and pursue the path to immortality!]
Boom!
A tremendous force erupted from beneath his feet, swiftly pulling Shen Tianyu away.
After a moment of dizziness, Shen Tianyu's vision cleared.
What he saw was a valley, with hot air rising within it, and a hot spring at its center.
The hot spring was not large, oval-shaped, divided into two halves.
One half was bright red and boiling, with steam rising.
The other half was milky white and tranquil, icy cold to the core.
The two distinct springs were clearly separated, not encroaching upon each other.
"What a fascinating place!"
Shen Tianyu chuckled, then suddenly heard a sharp shout from behind.
"Who are you? How did you get in?"
Damn!
Shen Tianyu's expression changed, what terrible luck?
Just out of the protective space, and he stumbled into a powerful individual's domain.
System, you betrayed me!
He turned around stiffly, Shen Tianyu was about to explain.
The young man opposite had a plant sprouting in his palm.
"Blue Silver Grass Entanglement!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Blue Silver Grass from all directions surged over, tightly wrapping around Shen Tianyu.
Shen Tianyu: ???
What the heck? Blue Silver Grass Entanglement?
"This is Douluo?"
After three years of intense cultivation, without a moment's pause.
Waking early and sleeping late, diligently practicing techniques, training the body.
Enduring countless hardships, he achieved Golden Core and emerged from the mountain, and you tell me this is Douluo?
What about the promised Golden Core as common as dogs, Nascent Soul everywhere?
The bloody battles, lives like grass?
Pursuing the dao of longevity, ascending to the Immortal Emperor.
Now it's all nonsense!
System, come out here and explain!
Shen Tianyu shouted in anger, and the system interface appeared in his mind.
[Um... CPU overheated... Going for repairs, host please handle it yourself.]
Son of a bitch!
You scoundrel, you flee when trouble arises.
It feels like being toyed with by fate.
Hm?
"My spiritual power is still intact?"
Shen Tianyu was astonished, looking down at his dantian.
The Golden Core remains, the cultivation is still present.
His mind raced, and Shen Tianyu understood.
Wonderful!
As long as I can still cultivate, I can continue to elevate my realm.
Proving the dao and becoming an emperor, seeking longevity, it's not impossible.
Moreover, this is Douluo!
What kind of place is Douluo? It's the lower tier of fantasy!
Even the formidable God King Tang San is merely at half-step Blood Moving realm.
In this place, my Golden Core cultivation, isn't it unbeatable?
After this realization, Shen Tianyu's mindset shifted.
He locked eyes with Tang San and smirked coldly.
"Tell me, who are you? How did you get in?"
"Young master doesn't need to concern yourself!"
Bang!
The Blue Silver Grass Entanglement burst, scattering into a heap of weeds on the ground.
Tang San was taken aback, his expression darkening.
This person, clearly without soul power, how did he break free from my Blue Silver Grass Entanglement?
"Just you, named Tang San, right!"
