Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

First, the Black Wind Demon Lord was burned to death by black fire, and then the Azure Mountain Demon Lord was captured and his fate was unknown. At this moment, the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord's mind was in utter turmoil, and he even felt a sense of fear towards that stone door.

I can't go there, I absolutely can't go there. I don't want to die without knowing why.

So the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord leaped up and quickly left the battlefield, heading towards the capital of the Heavenly Extinction Kingdom.

He wanted to bring back everything that had happened that day, so that everyone could be warned.

Now that the stone gate, whose destination is unknown, has appeared, the situation in Yaotuo Prefecture is likely to undergo a huge change. The Shang Dynasty is very likely to send a large army to invade Yaotuo Prefecture.

The Tianjue Kingdom must be prepared to deal with any crisis.

……

At the other end of the teleportation array, after the Azure Mountain Demon Lord, no other demon appeared. Ning Xiu, who had been waiting for a long time, sighed: "It seems that the dragon is afraid and dares not come over. Otherwise, it would be very satisfying to capture it, skin it, pull out its tendons, and remove its horns."

"This matter can wait until the Demon Subduing Division arrives. Lord Ning, your important task is about to begin. Have you thought it through regarding the position of Protector-General of Yaotuo Prefecture?" Peng Futian asked seriously.

Ning Xiu, as a rising star of the Great Shang Dynasty, is naturally very important. In the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty, there are also several more powerful old Demon-Subduing Guards who are studying the mysterious stone tablet. If there is a shortage of people, they can be temporarily mobilized to fill the gaps.

It's not necessarily true that Ning Xiu needs to be the Protector-General of Yaotuo Prefecture. You should know that before today, the Great Shang had no contact with Yaotuo Prefecture and knew very little about it.

They were completely in the dark about the situation in Yaotuo Prefecture.

"Rest assured, Lord Peng, my mind is made up. I will guard Yaotuo Prefecture. Please rest assured. In fact, given time, I, Ning Xiu, will surely reclaim this lost homeland for the Great Shang Dynasty and fulfill the lifelong wishes of those deceased predecessors of the Demon Subduing Division." Ning Xiu agreed firmly.

"Good, good, good!" Peng Futian's eyes were filled with satisfaction. The Great Shang needed people like Ning Xiu, the more the better.

Only in this way can the Great Shang Dynasty one day completely reclaim the entirety of the thirty-six provinces, restore it to its most prosperous state, and allow those humans who have lived in the outer regions for many years and endured hardship to return home and reunite with their kin.

Before the Demon Subduing Division's army arrived, Ning Xiu sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to check his proficiency panel.

I remember when I killed the Black Wind Demon Lord, a special notification sounded, granting me +1 Breakthrough Point. I didn't get this when I killed the Wind and Thunder Sparrow Lords.

What does this mean? Ning Xiu was very curious for a moment.

Chapter 160 [160] Ning Xiu's Saintly Ability Displayed

[Aura Observation and Fortune Telling Technique: Level 1 (1/2000)] (+)

【Burning Sun Taiyao Scripture: Twentieth Level (Complete)】(+)

[Heavenly King Vajra Skill. Black Heavenly Pagoda Supreme Body: Thirteenth Level (0/14000)] (+)

[Heavenly Might Divine Spear: Beginner (0/2000)] (+)

[Forging Talent: Excellent (10/100)]

General Proficiency: 1000258

Breakthrough Points: 1

...

Upon opening his proficiency panel, Ning Xiu noticed several changes.

For example, below the general proficiency level, a new term has been added: Breakthrough Points.

Although there is only one breakthrough point at the moment, it is a dazzling gold color, which is much more eye-catching than the five white words "General Proficiency".

The Burning Sun Supreme Scripture, which had already reached perfection and could no longer be improved or transformed into supernatural powers, suddenly had a plus sign appear again after the words.

However, this plus sign is also dazzlingly golden, and you can tell at a glance that the effect of clicking it will be absolutely different from the past.

Ning Xiu didn't hesitate and immediately reached out and tapped.

Firstly, he wanted to see what the breakthrough point was for, and secondly, among all the cultivation techniques Ning Xiu currently possessed, only the Burning Sun Taiyao Scripture could utilize this breakthrough point.

The moment Ning Xiu chose to use the Breakthrough Point, a sudden enlightenment derived from the Burning Sun Taiyao Scripture emerged in his mind.

The cultivation method that he had already memorized perfectly began to change constantly, evolving into a completely new technique based on the Burning Sun Supreme Scripture.

The Heavenly Scripture of Burning!

A surge of fire erupted from Ning Xiu's eyes, shooting straight up into the heavens, turning the entire sky a fiery red, with flames burning the clouds and scorching the earth.

"This!" Peng Futian was extremely shocked by the sudden strange phenomenon that had occurred on Ning Xiu's body.

Unaware of what had happened to Ning Xiu, Peng Futian suddenly sensed a terrifying aura emanating from him.

This aura was extremely profound, making it impossible for anyone to fathom.

In such a short time, has the strength and realm of this person in front of me undergone a huge change again?

Peng Futian's eyes shone brightly, eager to see if Ning Xiu had any new surprises for him.

The Burning Heaven Scripture uses the Great Sun as a visualization object, allowing one to extract the true flames of the Great Sun into their body and cultivate the Burning Heaven Emperor Body. Upon completion, one can carry the blazing sun on their back, causing mountains and rivers to turn brown and seas to dry up wherever they go.

Ning Xiu never expected that using the Burning Sun Supreme Scripture, which was a breakthrough point, would produce such a huge change.

With the Heaven-Burning Scripture, given time, ordinary Dragon-Elephant Realm cultivators would be no match for him and would only be crushed.

[Aura Observation and Fortune Telling Technique: Level 1 (1/2000)] (+)

[Burning Heaven Scripture: First Level (0/5) Breakthrough Points, (0/100) Years]

[Heavenly King Vajra Skill. Black Heavenly Pagoda Supreme Body: Thirteenth Level (0/14000)] (+)

[Seven Steps to Catch the Cicada: Eighth Floor (2897/6000)] (+)

[Heavenly Might Divine Spear: Beginner (0/2000)] (+)

[Forging Talent: Excellent (10/100)]

General Proficiency: 1200258

Breakthrough Points: 0

……

"Upgrading to the first level of the Burning Heaven Scripture actually requires five Breakthrough Points, or over a hundred years of cultivation!" Ning Xiu exclaimed in surprise.

Others may not know, but he knows very well how difficult it is to obtain a breakthrough point; it comes at the cost of death for someone at the Dragon Elephant Upper Realm.

Moreover, Ning Xiu doesn't gain breakthrough points for every death of a Dragon Elephant Upper Realm cultivator; the appearance of this item is based on probability.

When Ning Xiu killed Feng and Que Er Que Gong, he did not gain even a single breakthrough point. Based on this calculation, on average, it would take three Dragon Elephant Kings to generate one breakthrough point.

The difficulty is visibly immense.

The other requirement for improving the Heavenly Burning Scripture is not particularly difficult, but the process is too troublesome, taking 100 years. By then, Ning Xiu doesn't even know what realm he will be at.

"Never mind that for now. I've actually accumulated 1.2 million general proficiency points. Today I can upgrade all my cultivation techniques to perfection. This trip has really made me rich."

Looking at the more than one million general proficiency points, Ning Xiu was secretly delighted. This was the first time he had ever broken through the seven-figure mark in the long time he had acquired general proficiency points.

The Black Wind Demon Lord and the Wind and Thunder Sparrow Lords deserve great credit for this. Without their sacrifice, Ning Xiu would not have been able to amass such a huge sum of money in just a few days.

The Black Heaven Floating Pagoda Supreme Body played a significant role in helping him break through to the first rank.

As a cultivation technique that was once on par with the Burning Sun Supreme Scripture, Ning Xiu's first choice after gaining sufficient general proficiency was naturally to use it on the Black Heaven Floating Pagoda Supreme Body.

Fourteenth floor...

Fifteenth floor...

After advancing two levels in succession, Ning Xiu immediately felt the same pain in his ribs that he had experienced before when he was trapped underground in the Evil Barbarian City.

Looking down, sure enough, two more fleshy growths had quietly appeared under his ribs, throbbing and pulsating.

"Judging from this, it seems like he's going to grow another pair of arms," ​​Ning Xiu thought to himself.

Having gone through that experience once, Ning Xiu is now quite skilled. If he were to use all six arms at once, combined with the fifth level of Ascension Force and the Burning Heaven Scripture, Ning Xiu's strength would increase several times over.

"Lord Peng, I need your protection for me. I might be about to break through to the next level," Ning Xiu said, turning to Peng Futian.

Peng Futian was slightly surprised and cautious upon hearing this. What breakthrough was Ning Xiu referring to, and in what aspect?

You haven't just reached the Upper Dragon-Elephant Realm, and you're already about to step into the next realm?

Peng Futian clutched his chest, trying to calm himself down. If such a thing really happened, he would find it hard to accept.

Having spent seventy years in the Dragon-Elephant Realm, he knew very well how difficult it would be to break through to the next realm.

If Ning Xiuzhen could break through two realms in a row, he wouldn't just be the future hope of the Great Shang Dynasty, but the pillar that would help the Great Shang expand its territory and return to its glorious era of hundreds of years ago.

*Pfft! Pfft!*

Ning Xiu's two lumps under his ribs suddenly twitched, and he gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain within his body.

Soon after, two brand new arms slowly emerged from Ning Xiu's body.

With all six arms extended, this is the true form of Daikokuten!

The star of destiny, Ning Xiu, hanging in the sky, simultaneously emitted a powerful light, reflecting off Ning Xiu on the ground.

At this moment, all 365 deep black lines on Ning Xiu's body opened up, unleashing a powerful suction force that drew everything around him into the interior.

"Lord Peng, get out of here quickly!" Ning Xiu sensed something was wrong and hurriedly called out.

Without any hesitation, Peng Futian turned around and left. Although he didn't know what had happened, the cracks and black lines on Ning Xiu's body made him feel a sense of death.

In other words, even with his strength, staying by Ning Xiu's side would likely still put him in danger.

"Is Ning Xiu's Saintly Form about to be activated?!" Peng Futian couldn't help but wonder, glancing back from time to time at the strange phenomenon on Ning Xiu's body in the distance.

But he also found it extremely unbelievable that it had taken him a full forty years to go from the ordinary Dragon Elephant realm to the awakened Saint realm.

Ning Xiu has only been a Dragon Elephant Upper Realm cultivator for a short time, and he's already about to awaken a Saintly Aspect?

In an instant, Peng Futian seemed to have aged several years, and he had to admit that in this world, talent is greater than all effort.

Those with talent can save themselves dozens of times the effort of others at the same level.

If it weren't for the Holy Minister, Ning Xiu would probably have thought he was going to die if he saw 365 cracks appearing on his body.

These cracks kept contracting, like gaping maws of an abyss, spitting out powerful suction that turned the surrounding rocks into dust and sucked them in.

But Ning Xiu could clearly feel that these rocks did not enter his body, but went to another place.

The 365 black lines on his body represent 365 mysterious places.

"What does this mean?" Ning Xiu was puzzled, but since he couldn't move his body, he couldn't solve his doubts.
