The Black Ant now brings Ye Yun millions, and at times even over a hundred million, of Three-Day Stones daily!
Logically, Three-Day Stones shouldn't exist within the Heavenly Dao. Yet, it's unknown how the Black Ant managed to reach the Outer Heavens, providing Ye Yun with an inexhaustible supply of resources.
Unfortunately, aside from Three-Day Stones and Divine Blood Pills, no other items have dropped, not even experience points. However, considering the Outer Heavens is a real world, having these two items is already exceptional.
Ye Yun checked the Black Ant's attributes and status. He finally relaxed when another system prompt announced the Black Ant's killing of a god.
"It seems I must level up as soon as possible," Ye Yun said, his eyes burning with passion as he looked at the forests whizzing by beneath him.
Ding Yi's belly is growing larger, and it won't be long until she gives birth. After his child is born, his time will surely become limited.
Four hours later, Ye Yun again controlled the Golden Crow to descend. Less than a hundred meters from the ground, he activated his skill, and the Golden Crow, without looking back, carried him further into the depths.
Ten golden dragons coiled around Ye Yun, and his level finally increased again, reaching seventy-eight, bringing him one step closer to eighty.
Mount Shou, as expected, is a sacred place for leveling up. It's even faster than leveling in the Divine Realm, especially when defeating these higher-level aged beasts, as experience points increase exponentially. Ye Yun hasn't even been here for two full days, yet his level has risen by two.
Despite this, seeing Wang Chen's level of eighty-five still made Ye Yun feel uneasy. At the time, he was overjoyed that leveling up required only a hundredth of the experience others needed. Now, he was as sorrowful as he was once happy.
Repeatedly, until twenty hours later...
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for killing 600,000 Level 3 Aged Beasts, gaining 30 Jing experience points, 600 million spirit stones, and 600 Sui Geng. Pet 'Little Gold' gains 0 experience points. Talent skill cooldown reduced by 140 days."
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for obtaining 600 million points, current points 1.4 billion, ranking first on the points leaderboard."
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for obtaining the item 'Spirit of the Beast God'."
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for leveling up, current level 80, gaining 1000 free attribute points."
...
A series of system prompts exploded in Ye Yun's ears, but they also brought him immense relief. Before he could even examine the "Spirit of the Beast God," another system prompt interrupted him.
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for reaching level 80, awakening True Essence attribute. Reading player's added attribute points... Reading player's real-world strength... Reading complete. Player's success rate for awakening their own attributes is 100%. Awakening time is one minute. Please proceed to a safe area before confirming awakening? Countdown to confirmation: 1000 seconds."
...
True Essence attribute awakening! A 100% success rate! He wondered what kind of changes this awakening would bring. Would it be a new attribute, or a reinforcement of an existing one? It remained unknown.
Like Old Wang, who awakened two attributes, Gold and Wind, both highly compatible with his Sword Immortal class. But what about Ye Yun? He felt he knew almost nothing about his current class; it seemed any attribute could work, yet he felt only the Fire attribute was truly outstanding.
"Confirm awakening!"
The awakening time was only one minute, a mere blink of an eye in both the real world and the game world.
This demonstrated how much the strength in both reality and the game world had accelerated the awakening process. During his first awakening, Ye Yun had taken hours and caused a massive disturbance.
Now, Ye Yun was within the Imperial Palace, protected by the Nine Dragon Yang Void Palace, a treasure that concealed the immense fluctuations. Thus, Ye Yun had even less to worry about.
*Bang...*
Both in the game and in the real world, a deep purple flame suddenly erupted from Ye Yun's body. This was the mutated Demonic Fire that had evolved from the Ice Phosphor after his last awakening, ranking among the top ten Demonic Fires in the Cosmos.
"No way? Am I destined to be associated with fire in this life?"
Ye Yun sat cross-legged on the ninth heaven, staring blankly as the flame on his body slowly faded from dark to lighter shades, a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes. He had hoped to awaken another attribute, giving him more options for learning skills in the future.
In the game, once a player reaches level seventy, all newly learned skills have an attribute requirement. If the skill doesn't match the player's True Essence attribute, it cannot be learned. For example, if Ye Yun wanted to learn new skills in the game now, they would have to be Fire-attributed skills.
The minute passed quickly. The disturbance caused by this awakening was far less than Ye Yun expected, less than one ten-thousandth of the previous one. Within this short minute, Ye Yun did not undergo the eight physical reconstructions as before. Instead, his entire body seemed to be reinforced by some immense power, constantly strengthening.
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for completing the second attribute awakening. Player's Demonic Fire 'Ice Phosphor' has evolved into 'Samadhi,' and due to player cultivating the 'Primordial Burning Heaven Art,' Demonic Fire 'Samadhi' has automatically evolved into 'Samadhi True Fire.' Player's all Fire-attributed attack skill damage +50%."
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for completing the second attribute awakening. Player's physical strength in both game and real worlds has increased by +30%."
The two system prompts caused Ye Yun to frown. His strength had already aroused the jealousy of the heavenly powers. The Ascension Lightning Tribulation could descend at any moment. With his sudden surge in power, he wasn't sure how much longer he could remain in this universe.
This time, it wasn't influenced by in-game attribute points but directly added to Ye Yun's real-world strength. Therefore, the increase in power was substantial.
"Damn it, if people knew I was worried about being too powerful, would they beat me to death?" Ye Yun's eyes pierced through the ninth heaven, gazing into the boundless void. It seemed as if he could see a pair of sharp eyes in the upper realm intently watching his every move.
