With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal

"Today marks the 14th day of the fourth round of competition, and the rankings have mostly stabilized. I estimate it will end in just one or two days at most."

Commentator Wang Yang stated.

"The top ten contestants advancing are largely settled, although it’s a pity for those Tier Four contestants who couldn’t make it into the top ten. This World Youth Championship has been incredibly fierce, with more Tier Four experts under 30 than ever before."

In the previous World Youth Championship, Liu Jiangyuan from the Northern United University’s Tiangang List was able to secure sixth place with his Third Great Limit strength.

Just four years have gone by.

But Xie Canglan, whose strength is no less than Liu Jiangyuan’s, could barely hold onto 20th place, illustrating the brutality of this year’s championship.

Yet this is a good thing, proving that the world’s cultivation is progressing rapidly.

Especially in the East, where Qi Blood Martial Arts cultivation is flourishing.

In his room, Meng Chuan emerged from his training and nodded slightly at the official live broadcast on the screen.

At its core, it can be explained with a Taoist phrase—

It is: ’When the Primordial Energies of All Heavens wane, Martial Arts flourish!’

All this is due to the birth of more Seven-Limit Great Saints, bringing richer heavenly energy, and the more widespread martial arts foundational education in Great Chu.

The number of young Tier Four contestants in the West also far exceeds before, benefiting from the increasingly mature path of evolutionary techniques.

Of course, the most crucial reason is certainly the pressure from cosmic invaders.

"In times of crisis, character emerges; in chaos, heroes appear."

"As the tower tilts, it reveals its strength; as lands tremble, the talents stabilize the nation!"

The competition and mutual honing among many talents also inspire people worldwide.

Uniting global forces to prepare against the impending extraterrestrial invaders.

Only by continuously breaking through limits can we strive for a chance of survival for civilization in this battle of life and death.

"For a weak cosmic civilization, this speed of development is already rapid. Being able to contact high-level planets and Dao Realm under Shanghao’s shield, Blue Star is undoubtedly much luckier than most small planets without Divine-level powerhouses."

Meng Chuan mused to himself.

Looking at the cosmos, he couldn’t help but quietly acknowledge how much Blue Star had already accomplished.

...

The 15th day of the fourth round of competition.

Meng Chuan took some simple supplements, glanced at the top ten on the generational list, saw no changes, and then immersed himself back into his cultivation in the banner.

Ever since his Tao Heart controlled the Destruction Divine Power and swallowed ’Soul Devouring,’ about a week had passed.

He had been digesting all along, and only recently did his panel show some changes, prompting him to check immediately.

"The changes must be significant..."

Introspection within himself, focusing his vision on the panel, the edges emitted an unusual sheen he had never seen before.

The uniqueness wasn’t in the color, but in the feeling it gave Meng Chuan, slightly different from the Limit Breaking Traits he gained from martial practice before.

Without overthinking, Meng Chuan looked at the "Core Techniques" section on the panel.

With a thought, the evolving "Tao Heart Breeds Demon" gradually became clearer in his vision.

"Indeed, the changes are significant..."

With just one glance, Meng Chuan centered his Heart Spirit, focusing his sight:

"Laws of the End’s Returning Void, All Techniques Extinct: Level 11 (69%) Awaiting Limit Break"

"Limit-Breaking Traits: ?"

"Skill Completion (70%)"

"Lower Rank Soul Devouring (10%) → (12%): The Puppeteer of Souls, can initially touch upon the soul fragments and remnants of dissipating life, allowing perception, collection, and even limited guidance."

"..."

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Meng Chuan closed his eyes in contemplation, digesting the massive changes brought about by "Tao Heart Breeds Demon."

The first and most obvious change was the alteration of the technique’s name after the Destruction Divine Power completely ’contained’ Soul Devouring.

"The End’s Returning Void, All Techniques Extinct, this is the Law’s true invocation of ’Destruction’ Divine Power. Its manifestation on the panel signifies that this technique has finally... entered the right path?"

Meng Chuan was uncertain, but it didn’t really matter.

With the shift of intent, he could change the "Cultivation Technique Name" as he pleased without any hindrance.

Then, his vision lingered over the expanded information on "Soul Devouring."

Simultaneously, he channeled a trace of Soul-Devouring Divine Power, now fused with Destruction, to feel it together.

...

Under the dark red sky, vast shadows flew.

With a single thought, Meng Chuan stirred the wellspring, divine power flowing like a stream, the deep red-black hue swirling throughout his body, washing his physical meridians.

This process no longer had the prior friction or obstruction.

Evidently, the divine power had completely assimilated into him, becoming a weapon under Meng Chuan’s control.

Hissing...

Numerous pores around his body emitted a soft popping sound of foaming being burnt, as dark red seeped from his pores, moving with his intent, soon enveloping the area within a hundred yards like mist.

At a thought, it transformed into a magnetic field surrounding him, and again, into a mighty Demon Dragon, its face molded exactly like that of the Dragon Demon, vivid and lifelike...

Grasping the divine power, a hint of dark light flickered in his eyes

An inkling of Destruction’s intent emerged, yet was thoroughly suppressed.

"Maintaining this divine power indeed ties to the spirit... when assimilated as a weapon, it still consumes my Heart Intent Power, the true essence of Martial Arts."

Meng Chuan slowly rose, arms gently swinging, manipulating the divine power with Martial Essence Intent, his movements slow, gradually pushing, the red mist-formed Demon Dragon soaring and darting.

After just a stick of incense time, Meng Chuan felt his Heart Intent greatly depleted, for with his current Spiritual Power, the consumption in manipulating divine power was so massive...

It seemed as though it was merely the mind controlling divine power, the actions were extremely subtle.

Yet the feedback in Meng Chuan’s perception was like walking with a mountain, persisting another twenty minutes, Meng Chuan felt his Heart Intent Power halved, and immediately ceased.

"Phew... No wonder it’s comparable to the Dao’s famed Law, the fusion usage indeed consumes tremendously."

It’s no surprise that Arthur was ridiculously drained after unleashing his big moves, likely because the consumption of the Law’s ultimate moves is even more massive...
