238: Chapter 237 How to spend ten trillion? I'll max out the system with money!

The waves of the Sea of Blood gradually calmed, and the originally nauseating, sickly sweet smell in the air actually transformed into a fragrance called "Getting Filthy Rich" in Lin Feng's nose.

Lin Feng stood on the ruins of what was once the Blood River Main Hall, his feet treading upon a red jade floor that hadn't completely shattered. In his hand, he toyed with the storage ring that had dropped from Ancestor Blood River. However, he was in no hurry to look at the junk inside the ring. Instead, he took a deep breath and opened the attribute panel he had been dreaming of with a thought.

At that moment, the golden light almost blinded his titanium alloy dog eyes... oh, wait, his human eyes.

[Host: Lin Feng]

[Current critical hit points Balance: 1,000,000,000,000,000 points]

Like a Parkinson's patient, Lin Feng's fingers trembled as he counted the string of numbers twice.

"Units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands... hundred millions, billions... trillions..."

"One quadrillion! A whole quadrillion!!"

Lin Feng suddenly threw his head back and let out an extremely arrogant and punchable laugh. The laughter shook the remaining seawater of the Sea of Blood, causing it to tremble as if in fear of this newly-risen tycoon.

"This isn't just making a fortune; it's practically looting the Heavenly Dao's Treasury! Before, I had to scheme against others for just a few thousand critical hit points. Now, looking at this string of numbers, I actually feel... a bit empty?"

Of course, this humblebragging thought only flashed through his mind for a second. In this dog-eat-dog Immortal Realm, especially after just slaying Ancestor Blood River and offending the Seven Luminaries Immortal King behind him, saving money was a death wish. Money only became real when spent and converted into combat power; otherwise, it was just a string of numbers that could drop to zero at any time.

"System! Stop playing dead and come out to receive your guest!" Lin Feng waved his hand and roared with heroic spirit, "Today, I'm going to spend! Bring out the most expensive things in your shop!"

The System's originally cold mechanical voice actually sounded somewhat sycophantic and pleasant at this moment:

[Ding! Detected that the host's assets are off the charts. The System has automatically upgraded your service level. The VIP Supreme channel has been opened. Welcome, esteemed "Pay-to-Win Emperor" host.]

[The System shop has been updated. All items are 10% off today (although the host probably doesn't care about this small change).]

"Cut the crap, bring out the main course first!" Lin Feng's eyes sharpened as he looked at his own body.

Back in the Ancient God Ruins, he had deeply realized the benefits of a powerful Physical Body. As long as one was tough enough, even standing still could exhaust the opponent to death.

"System, level up the Eternal Undying Sutra to the max! I want this Physical Body to be so hard that even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal would chip their teeth upon seeing it!"

[Ding! Command received. Consuming 50 trillion critical hit points to deduce the Eternal Undying Sutra to the Great Perfection of the second volume, 'Undying Skin'... Confirm?]

"Confirm! And make it fast; I don't like waiting."

Boom!

As Lin Feng's words fell, a golden torrent poured from the Void Realm into the crown of his head. This was not just energy, but countless heavenly principles regarding material restructuring and rule reinforcement.

Lin Feng felt every inch of his skin and every muscle undergoing countless instances of tearing and restructuring. The pain went deep into his marrow, but he groaned with pleasure.

Dense golden runes began to emerge on his originally bronze skin. These runes intertwined to form an invisible protective layer, as if condensed from the hardest substance in the universe.

Ten minutes later, the golden light receded.

Lin Feng slowly clenched his fist, and the air in his palm was directly crushed, letting out a thunderous "pop."

He casually picked up a fragment of a top-tier Acquired Immortal Artifact left behind by Ancestor Blood River—it was a blade edge that had snapped off during the previous battle, incredibly sharp.

Without a word, Lin Feng took the fragment and slashed it across his arm.

Screech—

Amidst a shower of tooth-aching sparks, that top-tier Immortal Artifact fragment actually chipped! Yet, on Lin Feng's arm, not even a white mark was left behind.

"Nice, those 50 trillion were well spent!" Lin Feng grinned, revealing a row of bright white teeth. He then performed a shocking act—he threw the chipped Immortal Artifact fragment into his mouth and chewed it up with a "crunch."

"Hmm, crunchy and tastes like chicken. It seems the internal organs have been reinforced properly too."

After finishing with his Physical Body, Lin Feng looked at his Dantian.

A cultivation at the Golden Immortal Early Stage was clearly not enough for the upcoming high-end battles. Although he could challenge those above his level, the higher the Foundation, the higher the limit.

"System, initiate infusion! Infuse as much as possible! Don't worry about my body; I can take it!"

[Ding! Consuming 200 trillion critical hit points! Beginning forced infusion of immortal essence cultivation... Detected that the host's Law comprehension is insufficient, which may easily lead to Qi Deviation. The System is automatically consuming critical hit points to exchange for 10,000 'Law Epiphany Cards' for you...]

Is this the joy of a pay-to-win player? No Bottlenecks, only smooth sailing!

While others went into seclusion for a thousand years seeking a sliver of comprehension, Lin Feng used critical hit points to smash out a path to the heavens.

The immortal essence within Lin Feng's body seemed to undergo nuclear Fusion as his aura climbed steadily.

Golden Immortal Middle Stage... Breakthrough!

Golden Immortal Late Stage... Breakthrough!

Golden Immortal Peak... Breakthrough!

Until that massive energy touched an invisible barrier—the threshold of "Grand Unity." A Grand Unity Golden Immortal, meaning eternal freedom across all time and space, required condensing one's own "Grand Unity Dao Fruit," transcending the Three Realms and not existing within the Five Elements.

"Stuck?" Lin Feng frowned, feeling as though his body was a balloon filled to the point of exploding.

[Ding! The host's current cultivation has reached the 'Half-step Grand Unity' limit. To Breakthrough to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, one must condense a perfect Dao Fruit; it cannot be forcibly raised, otherwise the Foundation will be unstable. It is recommended that the host seek an opportunity in the upcoming battles.]

"Fine, Half-step Grand Unity is enough. Beating a hundred of my former selves now would be like child's play." Lin Feng felt the power within him, vast as the sea; even a light stomp of his foot caused the surrounding space to tremble.

"For the remaining bulk, give me skills! How can I not have an ultimate move?"

Lin Feng thought of his signature Drawing Slash. Although this move was useful, it was still somewhat thin on the Law level.

"System, deduce 'God-Slaying One-Slash' to the limit! Fuse the 'Blood Law' fragment dropped by Ancestor Blood River just now, along with all those messy Laws I've saved up before! I want one slash to make both gods and demons kneel!"

[Ding! Consuming 300 trillion critical hit points! Performing hyper-dimensional deduction... Fusing Slaughter Law, Devouring Law, Blood Law, Law of Space...]

The commotion this time was even greater than the cultivation increase. Within Lin Feng's Sea of Consciousness, a world-creating giant seemed to be constantly swinging a blade. Each strike was accompanied by the collapse of space, the boiling of blood, and the annihilation of Souls.

Ultimately, the comprehension from those hundreds of millions of strikes converged into a single, extremely simple, and unadorned slash.

It had no fancy name, returning to simplicity.

[Congratulations host, you have comprehended the Dao-Grade Divine Ability — 'God-Slaying: Finality'. Once this blade is drawn, Karma is severed, and all Laws become void.]

"Whew..." Lin Feng exhaled a breath of turbid Qi. Looking at the remaining 440 trillion critical hit points on the panel, his nouveau riche mindset finally calmed down a bit.

Just then, he felt a tugging sensation at his pant leg.

"Jee! Boss! Jee!"

Lin Feng looked down to see a small, yellow-furred, shifty-eyed creature clinging to his leg. Its two black bean-like eyes were full of longing, and its bald tail wagged like a propeller.

It was his battle pet, Huang Fugui—a Yellow Weasel Demon possessing the Ancient Calamity Bloodline.

The Fugui watched Lin Feng's strength skyrocket, and its drool was nearly leaking as it hinted frantically, "If one becomes wealthy, let us not forget each other! Boss, you're eating meat, can't you give me a sip of soup too?"

Lin Feng looked at this Yellow Weasel Demon who had followed him through thick and thin (though mostly by hiding). Although it was usually a bit wretched and liked to fart, its toxic milk was quite useful at critical moments.

"Fine, I won't forget you. Look at that pathetic state of yours."

Lin Feng opened the pet reinforcement page and locked his gaze on an extremely high-value item.

[Chaos Ancestral Beast Bloodline Purification Fluid (Mythic Grade): Price 10 trillion critical hit points. Effect: Purifies beasts possessing a trace of Chaos Bloodline, causing them to return to their ancestral form.]

"Bought! Pour it into this Yellow Weasel Demon!" Lin Feng paid without hesitation.

A vial of medicine emitting a grey Chaos mist appeared out of thin air. Lin Feng pinched the Fugui's mouth open and poured it right in.

"Jee—Awoo!!!!"

Huang Fugui let out a scream, its yellow fur instantly standing on end like a hedgehog. Its originally small body began to twitch violently as its fur fell out, replaced by a deep dark-gold fur that seemed to absorb light.

The most shocking part was its butt.

The bald tail that represented "Calamity" became like a steel whip, with grey Calamity runes flowing upon it. And behind its butt, a large lump of flesh actually bulged out before a second tail sprouted with a "pssh"!

This new tail was transparent, and as it swayed gently, the surrounding space distorted slightly.

[Congratulations host, your battle pet 'Huang Fugui' has evolved successfully! Race advancement: Chaos Calamity Weasel. Awakened second Bloodline talent: Space Traverse (for escaping). Current Rank: Golden Immortal Late Stage (Demon King).]

"Not bad, it'll be easier to run away in the future." Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction.

Just as the master and servant were immersed in the joy of leveling up, a sudden change occurred.

The originally calm Sea of Blood suddenly began to boil without warning. The seawater turned pitch black, and countless resentful spirits shrieked miserably upon the surface.

An aura even colder and more terrifying than that of Ancestor Blood River instantly shrouded the entire world.

Within that rolling black mist, a sharp, piercing female voice seemed to drift from the Nine Nether Hell:

"Who... destroyed this seat's Blood River Traveling Palace?!! Who killed that useless trash?!!"

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the streak of crimson rapidly approaching from the horizon.

The panel updated.

[Name: Lin Feng]

[Realm: Half-step Grand Unity (Limit)]

[Physical Body: Peak Acquired Spirit Treasure Grade]

[Balance: 440 trillion points]

Lin Feng kicked Huang Fugui, who was still adapting to his new body and shaking his butt at the air, as a cold smile curled on his lips:

"Fugui, stop being vain. I just finished spending my money, and now a delivery man has already come to our door."
