CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 44: TIER 3, SPIRITUAL POWER PROTECTION!

"Chirrup! Chirrup!"

As it opened its eyes, Little Purple’s big eyes darted around, and after standing up, it looked at its body from left to right. It discovered that its belly was no longer bloated, so it happily bounced in place.

This breakthrough didn’t cause much change in Little Purple’s size.

Instead, it appeared even more attractive.

Its rosy horns had grown a bit longer, and its entire body, covered in purple fur, became sleek and elegant. The purple scale armor clinging to its skin shimmered, with its color turning even deeper.

"Ding! Binding target Little Purple’s strength breakthrough, receiving tenfold return!"

At this moment, a system prompt sounded in his ear.

"This little fellow, after consuming so many Spirit Fruits of mine, finally broke through!"

Raising his eyelids, Jiang Che was overjoyed as he looked at Little Purple’s transformation.

Instantly, countless torrents of Spiritual Power surged into Jiang Che’s body, moving within to nourish his flesh, with muscles and bones writhing madly, his entire tiger-like physique radiating a holy light.

In just a few breaths, Jiang Che’s aura surged, and a terrifying pressure swept across the entire valley.

"Big brother, you’ve broken through again?"

Feeling the change, Nangong Luo turned her head to look, astonished, towards Jiang Che, who was exuding a powerful might from not far away.

"This is just too fast! Big brother’s talent..."

She thought to herself with a wry smile.

Nangong Luo couldn’t help but admire her big brother to the extreme.

Without eating Spirit Fruits or cultivating, he could still break through so quickly...

At this rate, even if I continue consuming Spirit Fruits enthusiastically, I’ll still struggle to catch up with him, and might even be left behind by a large margin!

"No, even though he is my big brother, I can’t let him leave me in the dust! There might be a chance to surpass him in the future!"

Nangong Luo’s gaze shifted, feeling both envy for her brother’s talent and a newfound competitive spirit.

As an Empress of a generation, proud and unyielding, she was not willing to lag behind others.

Moreover, big brother had given her all the Spirit Fruit resources.

If, despite this, she still lags too far behind, she would undoubtedly feel deeply ashamed.

How could she face her big brother then?

"I can feel it; I’m not far from the second tier!"

Thinking of this, Nangong Luo steeled her gaze, lowering her head to devour Spirit Fruits with intensity, refining the surging Spiritual Qi within her.

Jiang Che felt the current power within, the Spiritual Power inside him was immense, already feeling quite full.

He estimated that he was just a step away from breaking through to the third tier.

"Third sister, her competitive spirit is quite strong, huh?"

At this time, hearing Nangong Luo’s thoughts, Jiang Che paused, turning his head to glance at her playfully.

He never expected that his breakthrough would ignite third sister’s competitive desire.

But this wasn’t bad either, as striving to improve had no drawbacks.

"Third sister must work hard! Whether or not big brother can swiftly break through to the third tier depends on you."

Jiang Che silently cheered for her.

And at this very moment, another system prompt sounded.

Jiang Che’s eyes widened in astonishment.

There was more?

Could it be...

"Ding! Binding target Fang Yuan’s strength breakthrough, receiving tenfold feedback!"

"Ah, second brother! You’ve finally made your move! I’ve waited so long for you..."

Jiang Che was somewhat delighted.

During this time, he was worried that second brother had already passed away.

Unexpectedly, this fellow was still alive!

Not gone, not gone.

Boom!

This time, the system feedback channeled an enormous amount of Spiritual Power into his body, like an unending river of Spiritual Power, continuously coursing through Jiang Che’s tiger-like physique.

A series of rumbles, like the surging waves of that Spiritual Power river, emanated from Jiang Che’s physique!

The torrential external Spiritual Power merged with the existing internal Spiritual Power, forming a vast ocean of Spiritual Power.

Within the Spiritual Power ocean, a vortex suddenly appeared, devouring the surrounding Spiritual Power until the entire ocean was consumed, and the vortex transformed into a mysterious orb of light.

The orb of light was a purple-gold color, continually pulsing as if nurturing something...

Boom!

With another upgrade, Jiang Che suddenly stood up, his physique erupting with a strong aura that shot straight to the clouds, sweeping across all of Changbai Mountain, extremely terrifying and astonishing.

Nangong Luo, who was refining Spirit Fruit, was instantly startled awake.

"Big brother has... broken through again?"

Nangong Luo thought to herself, horrified.

Looking at Jiang Che, who stood unmoving, a sense of invincibility filled her heart.

In front of this big brother, she felt like nothing more than an ant he could easily crush.

Such a strong aura, is this the third tier?

Since when did breaking through become so simple?

Nangong Luo was utterly baffled.

At that moment, Jiang Che’s formidable aura had already spread across all of Changbai Mountain.

His beastly might was like a prison, terrifying to the extreme.

"Awoo..."

"Roar!"

The fierce beasts of Changbai Mountain were all filled with fear and anxiety, their legs trembling as if their very souls were quaking, emitting cries of terror.

Especially the fierce beasts in the depths of the mountain felt it the most, immediately starting to flee wildly towards the outskirts.

The fierce beasts living on the outskirts were already extremely frightened, and when faced with the powerful beasts rushing from the depths, they were petrified, their courage shattered, and they fled continuously.

In an instant, chaos engulfed all of Changbai Mountain.

Little did Jiang Che know at this moment, the commotion he had caused.

He was delightfully experimenting with the changes after reaching the third tier.

Inside, his Spiritual Power had already condensed into a purple-gold Demon Pill.

The fist-sized Demon Pill had a jade-like luster, emitting a purple-gold glow.

Boom!

Jiang Che urged the Demon Pill, consuming Spiritual Power.

Instantly, violent bolts of thunder continually surged from his body, akin to the rumbling Celestial Thunder on a rainy day, filled with a destructive aura.

Purple thunderbolts continually gathered above Jiang Che, transforming into a Thunder Pool, with endless thunder frolicking within, its deafening roars echoing through the valley.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With a mere thought, thunderbolts as thick as thighs leaped from the Thunder Pool, akin to missile strikes, incessantly bombarding the ground afar.

The might of the thunder was unmatched, with every strike blasting a deep crater into the ground, sending large swathes of charred earth flying.

"The power is so much stronger!"

Looking at those craters.

Jiang Che nodded in satisfaction, content with the power of this thunder.

With the Demon Pill condensed, the quality of his internal Spiritual Power far surpassed that from before.

With just a small expenditure of Spiritual Power, he could unleash such terrifying thunderbolts.

"Oh right, there’s also the Spiritual Power Shield!"

Jiang Che suddenly remembered that reaching the third tier allowed him to release a Spiritual Power Shield.

This was the key to withstanding human weaponry.

Instantly, streams of Spiritual Power surged from the Demon Pill, forming a purple-gold light curtain, which eventually formed an oval-shaped shield, encapsulating his entire tiger-like physique.

On the purple-gold shield, the light flowed.

Although it was just a thin layer, it was extremely sturdy and could continuously repair itself, making it difficult for ordinary attacks to breach in one go.
