This is a cultivation game, but its operation is terrible.

[You have killed a disciple of the Demon Palace. You have broken through to the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage and can no longer gain cultivation points. Please break through to the Golden Core stage as soon as possible.]

They've stopped giving cultivation points and permanent damage increases, so there's absolutely no hope of winning when you start fighting.

"Roar!"

"How dare a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator force his way into my Ghost-Faced Demon Palace!"

"Great Mighty Heavenly Demon Palm!"

Familiar opening remarks, familiar magic skills, familiar BOSS.

But I am not the same person I used to be!

Jiang Liu's lips curled into a smirk, and the moment a palm of overwhelming demonic energy struck, his figure vanished from the spot.

"The stars and constellations shift!"

He instantly teleported a hundred meters away, and when he reappeared, he was standing in front of a three-meter-tall black skeleton!

"Earthly Dipper Cauldron, emerge!"

Jiang Liu did not use Meteor Fall, but instead summoned the Earthly Fiery Cauldron he had just obtained.

He switched his main weapon in his palm, and a huge cauldron, about 1.2 meters in length, width and height, appeared in his right hand.

The Di Gang Ding is a deep bronze color with mountain and river patterns engraved on its surface. The moment you hold it, you can feel the solid and heavy feeling emanating from the cauldron.

"Black Skull, take this!"

Jiang Liu, without the slightest shame, shouted, lightly stepped on the ground with one foot and leaped up, his long arm swung out with a whistling sound, and swung the Earthly Cauldron hard towards the black skull's head!

duang!

A dull metallic clang followed, and Jiang Liu felt as if he had crashed into an indestructible meteorite, the shockwave making his hand slightly numb.

Looking at the black skull again, its skull was smashed.

The 13,000-jin Earthly Fiery Cauldron slammed into the Black Skull's head. The Black Skull's entire upper body was tilted to one side by the force of the impact, and he staggered back several steps. Small pieces of his skull shattered, and black bone fragments flew everywhere.

Even top-grade Xuan weapons are still unable to inflict fatal damage on Golden Core stage monsters...

Jiang Liu was slightly disappointed to see that his attack had not seriously injured the Black Skull. If it were the Mountain and River Cauldron after it had been combined with the Heavenly Gang Cauldron, this blow would probably have smashed the Black Skull's head into powder.

What a pity.

Although not seriously injured, the black skull was clearly stunned by the impact, standing there blankly, touching the broken piece of his skull, his eyes burning with ghostly fire, revealing how furious he was at that moment.

"Eight Extremes..."

"You think this is turn-based combat? You think I'm waiting for you to make a move?"

Before the black skeleton could react, Jiang Liu's body flashed with five-colored light as he swung the Earthly Fiery Cauldron down again.

"Five Elements Spirit Ascension Technique!"

"Unrivaled in battle!"

He used the Earthly Fiery Cauldron as a hammer, swinging it up and down, smashing the black skull with each blow until its bones shattered and bone fragments flew everywhere.

Thinking back to his tragic experience of being killed dozens of times by the Black Skull, he couldn't help but feel a surge of violence rushing to his brain. His hands moved faster and faster, and his expression became more and more excited.

You tormented me a month ago, and I'll torment you a month from now!

This is what gamers are like—someone you can never afford to mess with!

Watching the Black Skull being brutally beaten by him, Jiang Liu felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. He had spent a month spending money on in-game purchases, wasn't this the moment he was after?

Beat up the Black Skull!

This was so awesome!

I'm going to smash your three-meter-long bone stick into pieces!

"Great Mighty Heavenly Demon Palm!"

"The stars and constellations shift!"

"Wing Chun!"

"Eat my whole pot!"

The black skull's fist collided violently with Jiang Liu's Earthly Fiery Cauldron, unleashing an extremely powerful shockwave that swept across a radius of a hundred meters, causing the mountain walls to tremble slightly.

Click.

The sound of bones cracking rang out, and the black skull's fist bones shattered suddenly, leaving only a lone right arm bone.

The Earthly Cauldron only shook violently, but remained completely unharmed!

This is gaming equipment, how could you possibly break it?

Jiang Liu chuckled. Perhaps game equipment could be destroyed, but it would never be destroyed by a mere piece of trash in the early stages of the Golden Core realm!

How dare you clash with my Xuanqi Heavy Cauldron with your fist?

Commendable courage, but utterly useless!

duangduangduang!

Jiang Liu leaped up and swung the Earthly Fiery Cauldron, smashing it wildly against the black skull.

The sound, the visual effects, the explosive close combat!

No wonder so many people like playing warriors, it's really fun!

As if venting a destructive urge suppressed deep within his heart, Jiang Liu used nothing but the Earthly Fiery Cauldron to suppress people.

However, it must be said that although the Black Skull was being brutally beaten by Jiang Liu, it still managed to fight back from time to time, forcing Jiang Liu to use the Star Shift technique every now and then.

Moreover, its bones were incredibly hard; it took Jiang Liu several minutes to smash the black bones to pieces.

[You have killed the Black Skull. You have reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and can no longer gain cultivation points.]

"Hoohoohoo."

Jiang Liu breathed heavily, feeling dizzy and lightheaded as he looked at the pile of ashes on the ground, with a pain in his lower abdomen.

I think I've got a stitch...

Using the Earthly Fiery Cauldron for a powerful hammer attack is quite satisfying, but it's not very elegant.

It's quite funny that he, at 1.8 meters tall, has to jump around to hit a 3-meter-tall black skull.

This is because there are no outsiders. If there were outsiders, his idol image would collapse.

"Can it explode?"

Jiang Liu took a couple of breaths and went over to pick up the items dropped by the black skull.

You have obtained 50 Spirit Stones, 10 Ghostly Green Stones, 10 Demonic Wood, and 1 Black Skull Jade.

No blueprints dropped, but it doesn't matter. We can kill them now anyway. Next time, I'll drag Yi Luoluo over and let her loot the corpse. She'll definitely get them after a few more looting sessions.

After defeating the Black Skull and regaining his footing, Jiang Liu, brimming with triumph and high spirits, charged into the depths of the Demon Palace.

Go all out!

Jumping into the depths of the demon palace, one is greeted by fifty or sixty small monsters.

There's no need to hesitate; switch from Earthly Fiery Cauldron to Meteor Fall.

"Meteor Shower!"

"Five Spirit Sword Formation!"

"Seven-Colored Flying Flower Jade!"

"Five elements in one line!"

He unleashed several game items in one go, one top-tier item after another, like pebbles thrown into a lake, creating huge waves in the depths of the Demon Palace.

Meteorites are flying.

The Five Elements Sword Formation, which had evolved into a low-grade mystical technique, first appeared as five wandering dragons rampaging through the depths.

The Seven-Colored Flying Flower Jade, also used for the first time, unleashed its effect. Seven petals of different colors surrounded Jiang Liu's body, and the petals, like blades, automatically cut into the flesh of the surrounding enemies.

With the addition of the Five Elements Line, the number of monsters deep within the Demon Palace was reduced by more than half in an instant, and they were about to be completely cleared out.

[You have killed an elite disciple of the Demon Palace; you have broken through to...]

[You have killed an elite disciple of the Demon Palace, triggering the Battle Saint Body effect, permanently increasing damage by 0.01%]

good good!

It has to be a deep-level monster. Even if I can't get the cultivation points, at least I can stack up a permanent damage increase, so there's some hope when I kill it.

Just at this moment, a roar came from deep inside.

"How dare you! A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to force his way into my Ghost-Faced Demon Palace!"

"How dare you! A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to injure a disciple of my Ghost-Faced Demon Palace!"

"Arrogant! You mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dare to defy me, the King!"

"Void Demon-Slaying Sword!"

As always, the opening scene is as described, and the boss battle is triggered!

I've been waiting for you!

Jiang Liu felt a surge of excitement, his eyes widened, and he stared intently straight ahead.

Swish!

A two-meter-long demonic shadow slashed out from the void ahead, hurtling towards Jiang Liu at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

The first time he came to the depths of the Demon Palace, he died before he could even see the BOSS's attack methods.

This time, he saw it!

"So it was cut out from space..."

Jiang Liu suddenly realized what was happening, and before the demonic shadow could strike him, he vanished from the spot.

Time flies!

Spatial skills, as if everyone has them.
