[Sword Embryo Heart Fusion Successful.]

[To the Host, if you fuse the Immortal-grade Golden Elixir Breakthrough Pill with your current late Foundation Establishment strength, its efficacy will be greatly reduced.]

"What do you mean by that?"

Su Jue asked.

[The Immortal-grade Golden Elixir Breakthrough Pill, as the name suggests, can only exert its full efficacy when you are at the peak of Foundation Establishment, breaking through to the Golden Elixir stage.]

 

[If the Host consumes the pill with late-stage strength, it is very likely that you will stop at the peak of Foundation Establishment.]

"So, you're saying this pill can only be consumed when I'm breaking through to the Golden Elixir stage to achieve its maximum effect?"

Su Jue asked curiously.

[Correct, Host. Once you reach the peak of Foundation Establishment, this Immortal-grade Golden Elixir Breakthrough Pill will help you form your pill without obstacles.]

"I see, thank you, System. Don't worry, I'm not in a rush. I'll wait."

Su Jue smiled.

He could feel that he wasn't far from reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment, maybe just three months away, and then he could become an eighteen-year-old Golden Elixir!

An eighteen-year-old Golden Elixir, if he remembered correctly, was unprecedented in history.

If he could form his pill at eighteen, he would be renowned throughout history and famous across the Central Continent!

[You're welcome, Host. Now extracting the Heaven-Slaying Sword for you!]

Su Jue rubbed his hands together in anticipation and said, "Heaven-Slaying Sword, with such a domineering name, what kind of heaven-grade material could it be?"

A flash of white light.

Su Jue's eyes, filled with anticipation, suddenly turned bewildered.

This Heaven-Slaying Sword was actually just a wooden sword?!

The wooden sword looked utterly ordinary, with no fancy patterns. The only special thing was the words "Heaven-Slaying" engraved on the sword hilt.

"System, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Su Jue asked incredulously.

[No mistake, Host. This is indeed the genuine Heaven-Slaying Sword!]

"You're telling me this thing can slay the heavens?"

Su Jue's mouth twitched as he waved the seemingly ordinary wooden sword.

[Yes, Host!]

"I'll take your word for it, after all, there's no reason for you to deceive me."

Su Jue remained calm. He didn't truly believe the wooden sword was ordinary; it just initially caught him off guard.

Perhaps the wooden sword had some special mechanism to awaken, maybe it was a divine sword.

Su Jue tried several methods.

Whether injecting spiritual power, burning it with fire, dousing it with water, or even confessing to it with tender words, it remained unresponsive.

It was still just an ordinary wooden sword.

"Alright, you're tough. I won't give up. I'll figure you out sooner or later."

After exhausting himself, Su Jue stared intently at the wooden sword and stored it in his storage ring.

There's plenty of time, no rush, take it slow.

"System, extract the Dharma Form, Fearless Before Gods and Demons!"

Su Jue looked at the last reward and instructed.

[Yes, Host! Please prepare yourself!]

"What preparation?" Su Jue asked curiously.

As soon as the System's voice fell, Su Jue felt a dizzying sensation.

***

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar place!

Rather than a place, it was more like hell!

Blood light soared to the sky, endless blood-colored mist swirling around.

The stench of blood was nauseating, and scarlet blood gathered into rivers.

Occasionally, lava bubbled, and a vast ravine lay ahead, one misstep leading to an abyss.

The ground shook violently, and faint demonic roars echoed from deep underground.

The earth glowed red like a heated iron block.

All the massive stone pillars and rock walls shimmered with terrifying blood light.

The sky was devoid of sun and moon, dim and dark.

"Damn, this is intense!"

Su Jue was dumbfounded, staring incredulously at his surroundings.

He took a deep breath, the surroundings felt incredibly real, as if he were truly in hell.

A sense of death enveloped him, a feeling he was all too familiar with.

But Su Jue didn't panic; the System wouldn't harm him.

Moreover, he realized his physical body wasn't present in this world, and the lava underfoot had no heat.

He was merely a consciousness in this hell world!

So it couldn't harm him.

The next moment, the ground trembled, and lava erupted continuously.

Suddenly, a dazzling light shot from the horizon!

Su Jue was nearly blinded, shielding his eyes with his hand.

A colossal figure broke through the void!

With each step the giant took, the ground quaked!

From a distance, the giant stood a thousand feet tall, a massive divine ring rotating behind him, emitting radiant divine light!

His entire body shimmered with dazzling Dao patterns, robust and bare-chested.

His left eye blazed with a scorching sun, while his right eye was bright and pure, a bright moon revolving within!

On the giant's left side, it was blood-red, filled with the aura of hell, like the ground beneath Su Jue's feet.

The right side emitted a pure, holy divine light, like a brilliant moon, full of divine sanctity!

"What kind of monster is this? Sun and moon in its eyes?"

Su Jue's breath hitched, his worldview overturned.

How powerful must one be to hold the sun and moon in their eyes!

The sun's side was a demon, an embodiment of hell, while the moon's side was a saint, an embodiment of divinity!

Suddenly, the giant seemed to notice Su Jue, its sun and moon eyes turning towards him.

Just a glance, and Su Jue's head throbbed painfully, as if it were about to explode.

Unable to bear it, Su Jue clutched his head, feeling as if his consciousness body would burst and die here!

The next second, Su Jue was back in his room at the mansion.

"Huff... huff... huff!"

Su Jue panted heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead, his entire body drenched.

"What was that?"

Su Jue recalled the towering, terrifying figure of the sun and moon giant, unable to fathom what kind of monster it was.

Just one glance, spanning countless eras, countless days and nights, countless dimensions, nearly took his life!

The words "overwhelming" couldn't even begin to describe its power!

[That is your Dharma Form, Host!]

"My Dharma Form?"

Su Jue calmed himself, furrowing his brows.

His Dharma Form?

Why was there no memory or method of operation in his mind??

[Yes, Host, you can only summon your Dharma Form once you reach the Golden Elixir stage.]

 

[The burden of the Dharma Form is not something you can bear right now.]

 

[At that time, you only need a thought to summon the Dharma Form!]

"System, are you saying that monster is my Dharma Form?"

Su Jue didn't find it exciting; that monster was too terrifying, a double-edged sword if not controlled properly.

[Rest assured, Host, what you can summon now is just an abbreviated version.]

 

[When you can truly summon the original, your strength will be enough to control it.]

"That's good."

Su Jue sighed in relief, as long as it didn't backfire.

Just one glance nearly killed him; it was terrifying.

But if it could truly be used by him, it would be an immensely terrifying power!

As for controlling it?

Su Jue really didn't know how strong he needed to be.

It was completely beyond his understanding!
