High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

"Has the Nightmare difficulty been conquered?"

"Who is it?! Which peerless prodigy is it?!"

"My God! Nobody can even beat this dungeon on Nightmare Mode! How could it be possible on Nightmare Mode?"

Immediately afterwards, that grand voice rang out again, this time directly entering Su Jie's mind, carrying a hint of inquiry:

"Challenger, you have set a new historical record. Will you leave your name on the 'Martial Arts Heroes Ranking' of the Myriad Celestial Palace, proclaiming it to the world?"

Su Jie was taken aback, then a smile appeared on his lips.

"Leave your name! I'll use my alias—Jie!"

"Confirmed! Record updated!"

As the words fell, on the stone tablet next to the huge light gate of the Ancient Trial Grounds in the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace Square, the name and record that had been ranked first and had been displayed for eight hundred years were wiped away as if by an invisible hand!

The new crimson characters, imbued with divine might, were branded at the very top of the list, radiating brilliance and instantly attracting everyone's attention:

[First Place: Zed]

[Achievement: First person to achieve a perfect clear of 'Ancient Trial Grounds - Nightmare Difficulty'!]

[Rating: SSS rank!]

[Time taken: 58 minutes and 28 seconds!]

The entire square was initially completely silent, then erupted into a deafening roar!

"A calamity?! Who is it? Which faction's prodigy?"

"My God! Not only did he clear the game, he also broke the record held by the War God Yue Wuji for eight hundred years?! And in less than an hour!"

"No one can clear Nightmare difficulty, and he cleared Nightmare difficulty directly? How is that possible?! How can someone at the Martial Aperture stage have such combat power?"

"Investigate! Find out immediately who is behind this 'robbery'!"

"Jie! This name will resound throughout the entire Heavenly Capital Province!"

At the same time, Su Jie also received the reward he deserved:

[Completion Reward (First Perfect Completion of Nightmare): Myriad Heavenly Palace Main Hall Teleportation Token x1!]

[Hidden achievement 'Defying Adversity' (Defeating 100 enemies with perfected martial arts skills while still incomplete) achieved! Bonus reward: [Immortal Martial Bone] x1!]

Looking at these two rewards, enough to drive any martial artist mad, Su Jie's smile widened even further. He had acquired two colossal treasures! Could there be anything more perfect?

Yes! Because Su Jie is about to use his cheat code!

Su Jie's mind raced, realizing that this instance was an excellent place for a breakthrough, and the outside world's turmoil was temporarily irrelevant to him. Without hesitation, he focused his mind on the task at hand.

"System, 475 million Qi and Blood have been converted into 475 points of Qi and Blood Essence!"

[Command confirmed! Consumed 475 million points of Qi and Blood, gained 475 points of Qi and Blood Essence!]

Looking at the 475 gleaming essences of qi and blood in the system, Su Jie's weary eyes suddenly lit up with astonishing brilliance. Enough! Absolutely enough!

"System! Consuming Qi and Blood Essence, I will upgrade all of my remaining 19 level-nine martial acupoints to level-ten perfection!"

[Command confirmed! Upgrading one level 9 martial acupoint to level 10 requires 25 points of Qi and Blood Essence. Upgrading 19 acupoints will require a total of 475 points. Begin upgrading...]

Om-! ! !

This shock was far more profound and immense than any before!

It was as if the singularity of the universe had exploded, or as if chaos had just begun! Within Su Jie's body, the last nineteen stagnant and incomplete acupoints were being washed away, connected, and strengthened at an unprecedented speed under the infusion of vast and pure essence of qi and blood!

Nineteen newly formed level-ten martial acupoints, like nineteen eternal and indestructible supreme stars, were fiercely lit up!

The moment the last martial acupoint completes its transformation—

Ninety-nine level-ten martial acupoints simultaneously emitted a perfectly harmonious resonance that permeated the entire process!

A boundless aura, perfect, flawless, and supreme, erupted from the depths of Su Jie's body, like an ancient dragon awakening from its slumber! The bloodstains and filth around him were shattered into nothingness by this aura, and his tattered clothes fluttered and rustled even without wind!

The sound of his blood and qi surging within him transformed from the roar of great rivers into the deep, resonant sound of a vast starry sea! Power! An endless sense of power filled every corner of his body, and his life force seemed to be elevated and leaped to a higher level in this perfect moment!

[Ninety-nine basic martial arts techniques, level ten perfected! Supreme Dao foundation achieved!]

[Basic combat power has broken through the limit! Reward: 100 basic combat power points. Current basic combat power: 10000 points!]

[Breathing Techniques Increase Blood and Qi Generation Speed ​​by 3]

[Ding! Host has achieved 'Supreme Dao Foundation'! Main quest 'Supreme Dao Foundation' complete! Reward: 1000 Martial Arts Achievement Points!]

[Rewards: 1. Unlock the core system function: [Arsenal of the Heavens]! 2. Obtain the exclusive title: [Peerless Foundation Builder]! 3. Time Realm Entry Ticket (once)!]

【Arsenal of All Heavens】: A mysterious treasure trove where martial arts achievement points can be exchanged for martial arts resources from all realms.

[Extreme Foundation Builder]: Base combat power is increased by an additional 20%.

[Time Realm Entry Ticket]: Allows you to open a "Time Realm" exclusively for the host. The time flow ratio between the realm and the outside world is 100:1. Within the realm, the host can experience one day of real time (one hundred days within the realm).

[The Martial Heart (White) has been nourished by a perfected Dao Foundation and upgraded to the Martial Heart (Green)!]

【Martial Arts Heart (Green)】: Moderately enhances mental resistance; increases control over one's own power by 100% and comprehension by 100%; once a martial meridian is formed, it does not need to be stabilized before the next one can be formed.

As expected of the strongest martial arts system in the universe, the rewards for completing the main quest are incredibly generous!

"Has my martial arts heart been betrayed?" Su Jie thought to himself. Then, he was overjoyed. He knew that the strongest martial arts system in the heavens was his true trump card for the future. In comparison, the [Immortal Martial Bone] and the exploration privileges of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace seemed "ordinary".

He quickly composed himself, preparing to leave this place of trouble that was about to unleash a massive storm. However, the storm caused by his completion of Nightmare difficulty was only just beginning to brew, and its impact was far beyond what he could fully anticipate at that moment.

The moment Su Jie chose to use the alias "Jie" to reach the top of the [Martial Arts Heroes Ranking], the news spread like wildfire through various channels to every corner of the Tianming Star Human Race at an astonishing speed.

The level of attention drawn by this news far exceeded Linjiang City, and even Tiandu Province, and has already attracted the attention of the Central Holy City.

Several powerful thoughts, as vast as stars and as unfathomable as an abyss, intertwined above the holy city. The mere unconscious pressure they emitted caused countless warriors at the general level within the city to tremble and almost kneel down.

Above the generals, there are even stronger beings. Those whose combat power exceeds 100,000 can be named a one-star war king by the Federation!

After condensing their meridians, martial artists undergo bone tempering: tempering their bones and integrating them with their martial meridians, resulting in a qualitative leap in vitality, defense, and strength!

Each successful tempering of a basic martial bone increases basic combat power by 10,000 points! If all 206 basic martial bones in the body can be tempered, combat power can increase by 2.06 million based on this level of foundation alone!

After bone tempering, one can awaken a martial spirit, perceive the world, undergo a transformation in spiritual power, and begin to interfere with reality, unleashing spiritual secret techniques.
