Chapter 633: Advanced Magic Cultivation System, Twelve Heavenly Thunder Tribulations

The Great Demonic Heaven is watching you. Congratulations, "Unnamed," on successfully ascending after enduring your tribulation and arriving at the paradise of devil cultivators—the Devil Cultivation World, Devil Refinement Realm!

You have obtained "Blood Ring - Soul Transformation." Its detailed effects have been recorded in your True Devil Token. Your current merit is zero, and you have no task vouchers. Redeemable items for the Soul Transformation stage have also been recorded in the True Devil Token.

The moment he entered the Devil Cultivation World, Wang Yu's expression changed in surprise as a vast amount of information flooded his mind.

'Holy crap, a system?'

Of course, this question lasted only an instant. He soon realized that this was the work of that True Devil Immortal, and this cultivation model, so far ahead of its time, truly astonished him.

On second thought, it wasn't that surprising. Considering the development direction of cultivation systems, the Great Demonic Heaven must be a grotto-heaven transformed by that True Devil Immortal, serving as both a training ground and a world within a world. It wasn't surprising that it could detect every being entering the Devil Cultivation World; the main thing was how advanced this concept was.

Realizing that Qing Qing was also receiving this information from the Great Demonic Heaven, and after confirming there was no immediate danger around them, Wang Yu began to examine the dark token that had descended from the sky and was now suddenly floating before him.

This was the True Devil Token!

'Nothing special.'

However... as his divine sense was injected, a vast amount of information followed. Unknown forces, intertwined in black and red, wove before him, forming a system panel.

Code Name: UnnamedLevel: Blood Ring - Soul TransformationMerit: NoneTask Vouchers: NoneModules: Task Center, Treasure Pavilion, True Immortal Wish, Friends, Map.

More functions can be unlocked by increasing your Blood Ring level!

A personal panel with five attached modules. All bestowed by the "Dao of Heaven," they remained invisible to others unless the owner wished to show them.

Wang Yu quickly began to examine them.

As the name suggested, the Task Center contained tasks issued by the Great Demonic Heaven. Completing them would earn merit rewards, and task vouchers were issued sequentially, graded A, B, C, D, and so on. For each task of a certain grade completed, a corresponding task voucher would be awarded. Both merit and vouchers were currencies for the Treasure Pavilion. Merit could be traded between cultivators, but vouchers could not.

The tasks themselves were diverse.

Grade A: Kill the "Bone Devil Evil Dragon," a peak Void Refinement stage creature refusing to leave. Reward: 50,000 merit points!

Grade A: Kill "Candle Maiden, the Malevolent God of the Underworld," an indigenous creature of the Devil Refinement Realm at the early Dao Integration stage. Reward: 50,000 merit points!

Grade A: Kill "Shadowbringer, the Immortal Devil of the Blood Lake," an indigenous creature at the early Dao Integration stage possessed by an Underworld Heavenly Demon. Reward: 50,000 merit points!

Grade A: Kill a peak Void Refinement stage extraterrestrial creature from the Battle Demon Clan. Reward: 50,000 merit points! (Hint: The Battle Demon Clan ranks 24th among the thirty-six peak demonic races and excels in physical combat!)

These perfectly matched the information Wang Yu had received about the Devil Refinement Realm. They included creatures at the early Dao Integration stage, which surpassed the cultivation limit of the Devil Refinement Realm, as well as demonic enemies and persistent scourges of the Devil Refinement Realm. All of them were purely assassination tasks. Wang Yu was not intimidated, for if they existed, it meant that in the Great Demonic Heaven's judgment, they were all completable.

After reviewing the tasks, Wang Yu opened the Treasure Pavilion. He was immediately drawn to the first highlighted exchange option.

World Tree Seed: Redeemable by Soul Transformation cultivators, it is used to open an exclusive blessed land space after breaking through to the Void Refinement stage, offering endless wonders.

Exchange price: 5 Grade A vouchers, 100,000 merit points.

Its effects were similar to a branch of the Jianmu Tree, but the World Tree Seed's value was even greater. Because once it grew strong, it could generate more subsidiary spaces, like a major realm connected to countless minor realms. The power it provided was far more than a simple sum.

'Too bad, I can't afford it... and it's too late anyway.'

Void-Breaking Sacred Pill: Increases the chance of breaking through to the Void Refinement stage by 50%.

Exchange price: 10 Grade B vouchers, 200,000 merit points.

Its effect was straightforward. But it was clearly not intended for top-tier geniuses. Although its price appeared higher than the "World Tree Seed," it required second-tier task vouchers and a large amount of merit points for exchange. This meant it was for ordinary geniuses, not extraordinary prodigies.

Besides these crucial rare resources, the Treasure Pavilion also contained numerous resources for accelerating devil essence cultivation. These primarily fell into four categories: pills, talismans, formations, and artifacts, supplemented by items from various other arts that could be used in conjunction. For example, spiritual wine, spiritual food, and divine water of rare treasure grade. There were also many spiritual herbs with unique uses that required specific combinations, alongside methods like dual cultivation, essence harvesting, blood-consuming life-devouring, soul-devouring spirit-nourishing... far too many!

Wang Yu had only used pills to accelerate his cultivation before. If all the methods described in the Treasure Pavilion were used, as long as one's body could withstand it, the speed of devil essence cultivation would skyrocket by thousands of times, uncontrollably.

—Terrifying!

All of this, however, had to be exchanged for merit and vouchers. Improving the quality of resources in the Treasure Pavilion was simple: as a cultivator's realm broke through, the Treasure Pavilion's tier would automatically increase, or one could complete more assassination tasks. One could also unlock the eligibility to exchange for treasures of the next realm in advance. This was perhaps the greatest benefit in the Devil Refinement Realm.

After all, both ascendants and Soul Transformation stage beings from the surrounding 108,000 realms were recognized as orthodox demonic cultivators by the Great Demonic Heaven, and all possessed a True Devil Token. Theoretically, after cultivating to the Void Refinement stage, one could unlock the Dao Integration stage's Treasure Pavilion. No wonder the "Bone Devil Evil Dragon," refusing to leave, became a target for assassination.

Just these two things alone had already greatly invigorated Wang Yu. The third module, True Immortal Wish, surprised Wang Yu even more. It displayed a ranking list of the top ten devil cultivators in the Devil Refinement Realm. Anyone who departed the Devil Refinement Realm through normal promotion channels and whose name was on the list could be granted an audience with the Master of the Great Demonic Heaven and make a wish. Anything within their capability would be fulfilled, even if it meant spending a passionate night with the Master of the Great Demonic Heaven's woman. However... considering the consequences of such an act. To this day, no one had been so brazen. In short, anything within their power was possible, and even if it was beyond their power, the Master of the Great Demonic Heaven would exhaust all means to achieve it.

Such a degree of cultivation support was simply outrageous. No wonder the prodigies emerging from the Devil Cultivation World were all top-tier talents, skilled and proficient in everything from innate talent and combat techniques to strategy and social etiquette. Those who didn't pass the selection were already buried. Truly, one general's success is built upon the bones of tens of thousands. How could a being who emerged from such a process not be formidable?

The remaining modules needed no further explanation; Wang Yu was already adept at using them. In terms of adaptability and open-mindedness, he was in a league of his own.

After understanding what the True Devil Token could do, back to the levels. They were divided into: Blood Ring—Purple Ring—Gold Ring—Black Ring! The "Soul Transformation" identifier that followed only pertained to the cultivator's own realm and did not involve specific privileges.

The privilege effects were very direct. First, discounts! Blood Ring holders received nothing, Purple Ring holders enjoyed a 30% discount, Gold Ring holders a 50% discount, and Black Ring holders a 70% discount. What was the difference between this and simply picking up resources for free? These discounts were tied to personal identity; resources obtained through them could only be used personally and could not be sold or gifted. If the Great Demonic Heaven discovered any illicit use, the True Devil Token would be revoked!

The second effect was the broadcasting of the latest and most current news. Without leaving one's dwelling, one could learn about all matters, big and small, in the Devil Refinement Realm.

The third benefit was even more extraordinary. Upon reaching Purple Ring privilege, one could unlock the Divine Abilities Pavilion. The Great Demonic Heaven would assess one's foundation according to True Immortal standards and simultaneously recommend the most suitable divine abilities and secret arts, providing perfect guidance for one's path.

With these three privilege benefits, as long as one possessed strength and dared to fight fearlessly, breaking out was only a matter of time.

After internalizing all the information, Qing Qing looked over, understanding. Wang Yu then murmured, "No wonder information about the Devil Refinement Realm is kept secret. With this level of cultivation support and the intense, strength-based competition, even with an extremely high death rate, countless frustrated cultivators from outside would want to join."

"Indeed..." Wang Yu nodded in agreement, but resources were not infinite. The Devil Refinement Realm could boast such ample resource reserves because more than half of the Devil Cultivation World's resources were concentrated here. Furthermore, all human cultivators from the upper realms were incorporated into the "108,000 Realms." Only upon reaching the Soul Transformation stage could they emerge. This was a clear difference from the other eight realms. Since the demonic path inherently disregarded humanity, such operations were considered normal by outsiders, who therefore wouldn't even consider participating in the Devil Refinement Realm's slaughter trials.

In fact, even in the Upper Nine Realms, Soul Transformation cultivators were considered a core force. While they couldn't act completely unrestrained, they were no longer insignificant ants; they were part of a semi-privileged class and useful to humanity as a whole. This system in the Devil Cultivation World was indeed effective. However, it consumed too many lives. The vast Immortal Expanse needed manpower everywhere: on the front lines, in cosmic sea exploration, and in resource competition with other alien races. All required powerful individuals. Relying solely on one Devil Refinement Realm was far from enough. Therefore, it was decided to let the demonic path remain true to its nature, while the other eight realms proceeded according to their own methods. Although their talent output rate was considerably lower, the sheer number of cultivators was absolutely sufficient.

"The survival trial is a task given to me by the Demonic Star Lineage. What about you? Do you want to join the Demonic Star Lineage too?"

"No rush, I need to break through my cultivation first. Please guard me."

"Alright." Hearing this, Qing Qing immediately retreated a significant distance and began to set up defenses around Wang Yu to prevent being caught off guard if a sudden battle occurred.

The True Devil Token's information revealed everything. But there was no information related to cultivation lineages. However, the map module did mark a location called Saint Ring City! It was the only pure land in the Devil Refinement Realm. The exact situation would only be known upon arrival.

For now... it was time to break through his cultivation.

With a thought, the Immortal-Locking Pagoda ceased suppressing Wang Yu's aura. Already at his peak, an ominous blue-black aura surged skyward, forming a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth. Nine Undying Nether Dragons coiled upwards, seemingly trying to challenge the heavens. In an instant, black clouds spread for a thousand miles.

The commotion of the breakthrough immediately drew the attention of numerous devil cultivators within the area.

"Heh heh heh, someone's breaking through again!"

"Such an unfamiliar aura... probably not a well-known powerhouse. If this person is heavily wounded by the lightning tribulation, it might just be my opportunity."

A cultivator licked his grayish-black lips, recognizing it as a special Yin-attributed blood aura phenomenon, and immediately harbored greedy thoughts.

"Excellent corpse material! If I want to cultivate the Corpse Integration method, this person is my chance for Dao Integration!"

Soul Transformation devil cultivators avoided it. Void Refinement devil cultivators flocked to it.

Wang Yu, far from suppressing his aura, instead unleashed it to its peak. Entering the Devil Cultivation World today, he was already prepared for a grand slaughter. He didn't forget to remind Qing Qing the Drought Demon.

"Qing Qing, check all assassination tasks below Grade A in the Task Center. If any targets approach, mark them with your divine sense."

"Understood!"

Tasks weren't just Grade A. Even Void Refinement cultivators who weren't at their peak were eligible to be listed. It wasn't that you wouldn't be "wanted" unless you violated rules. Rather, it depended on whether you were qualified to have the Great Demonic Heaven issue a specific assassination task for you. This was a true mark of a powerhouse!

As the Yin Five Elements Cycle was thoroughly refined, the Five Qis Seed began to condense. The unpredictable sky finally solidified. Countless lightning dragons writhed within it, bringing forth vast purple-gold divine lightning. The majestic heavenly might swiftly suppressed Wang Yu.

There were two types of Sixth-stage lightning tribulations. The one induced by body refinement was called the Twelve Capital Heaven Divine Lightning Tribulation! There were only twelve bolts of lightning, but each was terrifyingly powerful, capable of easily tearing apart the physical body of a Void Refinement cultivator. The breakthrough in body refinement would lead to an improvement in spirit refinement and the path to becoming an immortal. Wang Yu would very likely undergo two tribulations consecutively, simultaneously advancing both his cultivation paths.

The very first bolt of this lightning tribulation was "Qiang Liang Thunder Aspect," representing the Grand Dao of Thunder!

In an instant, the sky darkened, the sun and moon lost their light. The world seemed filled only with surging thunder energy. The purple-gold lightning transformed into a tiger-headed monster and roared down. Wang Yu gritted his teeth and met it without any defense, while the Thunder Emperor Armor covered his Grand Yin Nascent Soul, acting like a reckless brute.

Boom!

An explosion rang out. Wang Yu, who had just risen, was struck back into the ground. His skin was torn all over, yet not a single drop of blood flowed. The intense pain intensified, and the condensation of the Five Qis Seed within him accelerated several times. His physical body was continuously reborn amidst destruction.

"—So invigorating!!!"

The power of the Twelve Capital Heaven Divine Lightning Tribulation far exceeded expectations, but the benefits it brought were also greater. The second bolt that followed was named "Tian Hao Wind Aspect," a fusion of wind and thunder forming an eight-tailed tiger beast. It crashed down without giving Wang Yu any chance to react. The earth cracked, and the soil turned into scorched, glassy ground. Spiderweb-like wind-cut marks spread across the landscape. The fine cutting sounds were grating and unpleasant, like blades scraping tough cowhide.

The third bolt, "Gou Mang Wood Aspect," the pinnacle of Jia Wood Divine Lightning and Yi Wood Divine Lightning, struck Wang Yu to his knees, his eyes lifeless. Yet, the vitality hidden within the Wood Elemental Divine Lightning allowed him to rise again.

The fourth bolt, "Zhurong Fire Aspect."

The fifth bolt, "Renshou Metal Aspect."

The sixth bolt, "Gonggong Water Aspect"; the seventh, "Xuanming Ice Aspect"; the eighth, "Houtu Earth Aspect"; the ninth, "Xizi Lightning Aspect"; the tenth, "Shebishi Sky Aspect"...

The first ten bolts of Capital Heaven Divine Lightning passed smoothly. This was because Wang Yu's physical foundation was impossibly profound. His Time Furnace, Immortal Body, and Five Qis Seed were condensed to perfection. In fact, during these ten bolts of Capital Heaven Divine Lightning Tribulation, he continuously compensated for his own shortcomings, even strengthening his Five Qis Seed, and thereby obtaining more Primordial True Marrow. His Natal True Artifact was also undergoing the lightning tribulation's baptism, attempting to advance to a higher level. However, these last two bolts of lightning tribulation were not simple.

They were "Dijiang Space Aspect" and "Zhujiuyin Time Aspect"! The former was the Void-Rending Thunder that obliterated everything. The latter was the Time Thunder that trod upon epochs. Both bolts descended simultaneously upon Wang Yu's Immortal Body. Either it would completely collapse and plunge into darkness, or it would advance further, gaining an imperishable quality and the embryonic form of immortality!
