Night of Despair-Chapter 467 - 465 resources three

Gabriela took the listed inventory and went back, saying she would prepare and bring the items over tomorrow to exchange with Yu Hong.

It seemed that everything was going smoothly; even the White Dragon showed a very novel and interested expression.

She seemed to regard Yu Hong and the others as mysterious traveling merchants, able to buy various unheard-of items from Yu Hong.

After seeing off the White Dragon, Yu Hong and Ku Chan also took a short rest, ate something, then each went to their own cultivation.

Agrius remained motionless above the house, disguised as a sculpture, guarding the surroundings.

Inside the cultivation room.

Yu Hong sat cross-legged on the floor.

A noise-canceling array slowly emitting white light patterns around, still barely operational.

He closed his eyes, carefully sensing his current condition.

’Tai Ling Skill is my main cultivation technique, but the last incident told me that although this technique progresses quickly and is powerful, it becomes almost useless in highly isolated places. It’s not very versatile. Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Scripture suits better as the main technique to cultivate.’

He planned to switch to it as his main cultivation technique once Chaotic God Heavenly Eye reached a power close to Tai Ling Skill.

Besides needing more eyeballs, this technique does not rely on anything else.

Sitting on the black floor, Yu Hong began to assess his current strength.

’Besides Chaotic God Heavenly Eye, other abilities like Thunderbolt State also had no room for further improvement. Extreme Summoning is also an ability, but only useful in combination with Tai Ling Skill... involving Spirit Disaster is problematic. Needs careful use.’

This way, if Tai Ling Skill was used less or not at all in the later stage, his Inner Strength along with associated Fear Shadow, would be greatly affected.

Yu Hong opened his eyes, gently touched his chest, feeling the hardness of his skin and muscles.

’Without using Tai Ling Skill, without using Spirit Light Secret Skill, the only thing I can rely on is my body’s strength, and Chaotic God Heavenly Eye and Outer Eye. It seems that my strength is indeed too weak.’

He frowned slightly.

’Divinity is only used for protection, not very useful, can be ignored. Now, if I remove all Magic Skills and Source Disaster Power and only look at the physical strength, my body has been enhanced by the refining breakthrough of Tai Ling Skill, but this refinement mainly enhances resistance to Source Disaster Power’s erosion. There is not much increase in physical strength... need to plan well.’

He used to rely on his body to turn everything upside down, primarily because of the enhancement from Spirit Light Secret Skill, coupled with the protection of Tai Ling Skill’s Inner Strength, giving the misleading impression of invincible strength.

In reality, he was still that weak, ordinary person afraid of many things.

"Ah..." Yu Hong sighed.

He recalled his journey from a basic set of exercises similar to gymnastics, strengthening step by step into Thunderbolt Leg Technique, reaching the peak.

Later, however, he had to switch to the sinister path of Tai Ling Skill due to mental weakness and external crisis pressure...

"Indeed, quick success leads to the demonic path... To gain something, you must pay something... Tai Ling Skill, a shortcut that only cultivates the spirit, is fast, but has a limitation..."

"Still, the righteous path of Chaotic God Heavenly Eye from the Sky Wish Sect is more suitable."

Yu Hong thought, using his multiple times strengthened Body Running Thunder State as the base, Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Outer Eye as the trump card, and adding Divinity, Inner Strength, and Spirit Light for threefold amplification protection.

Such a framework was too fragile.

"And too complex, my energy is limited, Dao Breath Circulation can operate multiple Martial Arts Magic Skills simultaneously, but it seems the effect will be evenly distributed and slow down. It looks like I need to integrate everything and simplify the focus."

With the knowledge and experience he currently possessed, he immediately began to integrate Thunderbolt State, Chaotic God Heavenly Eye, and Divinity, three powers independent of external forces.

Inside the cultivation room.

Yu Hong’s 2.5 meters tall body, the first thing that appeared on the surface was the electric current of Divinity’s Golden Light.

The arcs continuously jumped on his body, intertwining into a golden electric net, protecting his whole body.

Crackle.

Tiny golden arcs continuously weakened the invisible external erosion.

Yu Hong observed; he couldn’t see what it was, but from the response of Divinity, there was clearly some undetectable harm continuously detrimental to him.

’The intensity and quality of Divinity are very high, coming from the Moon God Bloodline, but it can’t grow or change.’

He then turned his attention to Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Scripture.

’I can use the growable Chaotic God Heavenly Eye, integrating Divinity and Thunderbolt State...’

Several integration ideas flashed through his mind.

Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Scripture inherently had the ability to integrate all other foreign forces. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to merge other Outer Eye powers into its own eyes.

To practice external forces and Outer Eyes into one’s own eyes is the strong core of Chaotic God Heavenly Eye.

At this moment, using this technique, Yu Hong began carefully integrating the Moon God Divinity into his eyes.

Fortunately, everything went smoother than he expected.

About half an hour later, all the Moon God Bloodline’s Divinity Golden Light completely disappeared.

Instead, Yu Hong’s right eye underwent a new change.

The eye sockets surrounded by black scales, the pupils entirely filled with purple patterned arrays.

Now, in the process of integration, streaks of golden arcs continuously emerged out of nowhere, flowing into it.

The scene continued for more than ten seconds.

Finally.

Yu Hong’s body trembled.

Sizzle!

His right eye, behind the eyepatch, suddenly burst into blinding golden light.

In the surrounding air, vague prayers, hymns, and praises inexplicably sounded.

Countless voices overlapped around the right eye, forming a translucent blurry circular ring.

Swoosh!

The ring sharply contracted, completely sinking into the depths of the right eye.

Everything quieted down.

Yu Hong, somewhat exhausted, let out a breath.

"Finally done... Divinity integrated and peeled into the Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Scripture system."

With his Inner Strength of Chaotic God Heavenly Eye continuously flowing in his body, now much thicker than before, he felt much more relieved.

Divinity had always been helpful to him.

Now that the fusion and digestion are completed, he surprisingly felt a wonderful sense of ease both physically and mentally.

Upon thinking of the countless voices he had just heard, Yu Hong was contemplative.

’Divinity is useful, but it’s better to focus on purity when concentrating power.’

Next, comes the Thunderbolt Leg Technique.

As soon as he experienced the state of Thunderbolt, Yu Hong’s brow furrowed.

’The Thunderbolt State relies entirely on the explosive use of the Tai Ling Skill’s Inner Strength; this isn’t a characteristic, but a special state inherent to the cultivation technique... Thus, Thunderbolt State is arguably an auxiliary form of the Tai Ling Skill.’

Yu Hong remembered that the Thunderbolt Leg Technique had gradually integrated into the Tai Ling Skill.

But he was reluctant to give it up just like that; after all, Thunderbolt State had been his trump card since his weakest moments, helping him through difficulties.

As a result, he immediately began trying to isolate the aspect of the Thunderbolt Leg Technique from the Tai Ling Skill.

This isolation was not difficult.

Because Tai Ling Skill still included, rather than transformed.

Observing closely, what Black Mark called fusion was merely using the Source Disaster Radiation to amplify and mix all other powers.

Source Disaster Radiation transcends all other powers; it’s like light, giving Inner Strength a coat of differently colored light. The two are not at the same level of existence—one is like light, radiation, and the other is a liquid Inner Strength that can be distinctly felt.

How can light and water merge? When illuminated, the water takes on the color of the light.

However, when the light is shifted away, everything reverts to its original state; the two can never truly merge completely.

After completing this step, together with his cultivation foundations, he could perform tests for comparison and identification.

So... over an hour later...

Pure white threads of Inner Strength began to appear on Yu Hong’s body.

This represented the purified initial Inner Strength of the Thunderbolt Leg Technique, stripped of Source Disaster Radiation contamination.

Moments later, these white lines of Inner Strength, driven by the Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Scripture, gradually converged toward Yu Hong’s right eye.

Hiss!

Lines of white Inner Strength swiftly infiltrated his right eye.

Each thread entering the right eye represented a weakening of Thunderbolt State.

As time passed, once the forty-second line of Inner Strength flowed in, everything quieted down.

No more threads of Inner Strength appeared on Yu Hong’s body.

The Thunderbolt State also declared its complete disappearance.

This once fundamental cultivation technique left Yu Hong with nothing but a robust body.

Replacing this was an even more massive and purer Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Inner Strength circulating within Yu Hong.

Simultaneously.

A faint white light shadow emerged around Yu Hong’s body.

The shadow slowly took shape from nothing.

It resembled a sculpture being carved from stone.

After over three hours.

A silhouette next to Yu Hong finally had a contour.

It turned out to be a strong, majestic white tiger with black stripes.

The giant tiger shadow lingered for a few moments before slowly fading.

At this point, both the Divinity and Thunderbolt State had disappeared from Yu Hong’s body, replaced by a vastly increased volume of Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Inner Strength.

He stood up, moved his limbs and found that his physique had decreased substantially.

He also seemed to have resumed his original height of about 2.2 or 2.3 meters.

"This is much purer now," Yu Hong felt the much clearer and cleaner energy environment inside his body.

Now, he had only two Inner Strengths inside him.

One was Tai Ling Skill, and the other was Chaotic God Heavenly Eye.

Other manifestations like Heavenly River enveloping the summoning, Spirit Light Secret Technique, etc., were actually core abilities of Tai Ling Skill based on Light Disaster and Spiritual Disaster.

Just like the base abilities of the Outer Eye and right eye from the Chaotic God Heavenly Eye side.

Thinking this, Yu Hong tried only operating the Chaotic God Inner Strength.

Hum!

A layer of white light automatically appeared on his body surface.

Simple and plain.

’It has a protective effect on the body, just don’t know how effective it is. It must be more powerful than my self-made Thunderbolt Leg Technique since, after all, it’s a grand technique of the Sky Wish Sect.’

He thought for a moment, then went to a corner of the basement to search.

Soon, he found a small black alloy box.

The box was rectangle, secured with a wedge lock, very sturdy.

Yu Hong carefully opened it.

Click.

Inside, there were stacks of secret texts, small books, and papers.

These were all various cultivation techniques he had enhanced using Black Mark.

Yu Hong rummaged through them and quickly pulled out a previously transcribed book of the Thunderbolt Leg Technique.

Flipping through a few pages, he found the origin of Thunderbolt Leg Technique.

’...a youth who encountered the calamity of sect destruction, endured hardships, learned from a master, and ultimately created the Thunderbolt Leg on his own. Hmm, indeed, it’s not very sophisticated.’

Gently touching the martial arts technique he had previously relied on, Yu Hong considered taking it out, simplifying it into a general version for public use, and using it as a merchandise trade.

He then closed the box again.

Now that the integration was finished, he felt a bit itchy to try out what level the Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Scripture had reached.

But since the safe house of the Black Spirit was small and didn’t provide space to practice comfortably.
