Chapter 39: Four-Star Dou Emperor


    In the alchemy room, Gu He closed the room''s door and set up a barrier around the alchemy room before sitting down in the middle of the room.


    Then, Gu He closed his eyes, and his consciousness slowly sank into the system space. After that, Gu He silently said, "System, begin fusing thirteen years of cultivation!"


    As his words fell, the colorless light sphere suspended in the void within the system space instantly turned into a brilliant light and shot into Gu He''s body.


    Bang!


    With the radiant light entering his body, in the next moment, Gu He felt a muffled sound within him, followed by an immensely powerful energy surging out.


    This energy was extremely domineering, rushing out from within him like a tornado, sweeping through Gu He''s limbs and bones. A piercing pain spread within his body, and Gu He''s face turned pale in an instant.


    Then, following the method he usedst time, as the energy entered his body, purple mes began to ripple within him. Compared to the energy, the purple mes were even more formidable.


    The instant they touched, the mes directly dissipated the energy. Afterward, Gu He controlled these scattered energies, guiding them into his dantian.


    As more and more energy entered his dantian, the aura emanating from Gu He''s body became increasingly profound. After a moment, the density of the battle qi in his dantian was several times stronger than before he began practicing just now.


    In just a short moment, it was equivalent to the effort of nearly half a year of intense cultivation. This sensation left Gu He immersed in it. Now, he was incredibly skilled in assimting energy.


    Coupled with the purity of this energy, he didn''t need much time to refine it. His task was to scatter this energy, then smoothly guide it into his dantian.


    "I wonder to what extent my cultivation will skyrocket after absorbing all of this energy?"


    "However, while this rapid advancement in cultivation is impressive, it can lead to the dispersion of dou qi within the body and an imbnce in the foundation. Consolidating this progress will require a considerable amount of time in the future."


    Immersed in the exhrating sensation of his cultivation skyrocketing, Gu He remained calm and absorbed and refined the energy quietly. As time slowly passed, half an hour quickly went by.


    And at this moment, when Gu He once again guided a strand of scattered energy into his dantian, the cyclone of dou qi within his body began to rotate intensely in an astonishing manner. His aura also began to surge at this moment.


    Bang! As a muffled sound echoed within Gu He''s body, an uncontroble, terrifying pressure erupted from him. This pressure swept toward his surroundings, then passed through the unique walls of the alchemy room, ultimately being blocked by the external barrier.


    Two-Star Dou Emperor! At this moment, Gu He''s cultivation had broken through to the level of a Two-Star Dou Emperor. But this wasn''t the end.


    Within Gu He''s body, there remained a significant amount of energy. The energy absorbed just now was less than a tenth of it. After the breakthrough, Gu He''s determination surged even further, and he continued to absorb the energy within his body.


    As time went on, Gu He''s cultivation continued to make breakthroughs. Bang!


    An hourter, the fearful pressure was released once more. Third Star Dou Emperor! At this point, he had reached the level of a Third Star Dou Emperor. With more and more energy surging into Gu He''s body, his aura continued to skyrocket.


    Another hour passed, and a muffled sound resounded from within Gu He''s body again. Fourth Star Dou Emperor!


    With this breakthrough, the energy within Gu He''s body was finallypletely absorbed. In the next moment, Gu He slowly opened his eyes. In his ck pupils, purple mes immediately surged forth.


    Simultaneously, an immense pressure burst out, then uncontrobly surged toward the external barrier.


    Boom! Crackling!


    Under the impact of this pressure, the external barrier suddenly appeared fragile, showing cracks. Seeing this scene, Gu He''s expression changed, and he quickly concealed his aura.


    After a few breaths, Gu He''s gaze gradually returned to calmness. "So, this is the power of a Four-Star Dou Emperor?" Gu He slowly spread his hands, feeling the immense power within him, a faint smile gracing his lips.


    This sensation of a tremendous surge in power made him feel trulyfortable. With a light grip of his right hand, the dou qi within him immediately transformed into a storm and swept onto the external barrier.


    Amidst the sound of cracking, the barrier that enveloped the alchemy room shattered with a resounding crash. In the next moment, a more solid barrier reappeared outside the pill refining chamber.


    The breakthrough concluded, yet Gu He had no intention of leaving the alchemy room. He intended to seize this opportunity to condense his own essence me.


    Rapidly recalling the contents of the Divine mes Scripture in his mind, a look of awe unconsciously crossed Gu He''s face. "The prerequisite for cultivating the Divine mes Scripture is actually to sessfully control a kind of Heavenly me. Truly deserving of being an advanced Heavenly Rank technique; this cultivation threshold is sufficient to deter most people."


    "Fortunately, I currently possess a Heavenly me." "However, the cultivation method of this Divine mes Scripture seems quite self-destructive.


    The first step is to actually introduce the controlled Heavenly me into the body, integrating it into one''s flesh, bones, and even soul. It must achieveplete fusion, rather than merely controlling the Heavenly me within the body."


    This approach made Gu He think of the original work, where Queen Medusa evolved using the method of assimting with the Green Lotus Core me. However, despite the simrity, the difference was that the Heavenly me Gu He was cultivating was already under his control.


    Even in self-destruction, it was within manageable limits, unlike Queen Medusa, who was entirely relying on luck.


    "It seems that in order to condense the innate Heavenly me, I will have to endure some torment." A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Gu He''s mouth. He slowly closed his eyes, once again reviewing the contents of the Divine mes Scripture in his mind.


    After a moment, Gu He adjusted himself to his optimal state. He took a gentle breath, preparing to start practicing the Divine mes Scripture. He decided to use the Nine Nether me to condense his innate Heavenly me. After all, the only unique me he currently controlled was the Nine Nether me.


    With his eyes half-closed, Gu He casually sat in the pill refining chamber. With a thought, the purple mes began to ripple through his limbs and bones.


    Directly following the cultivation path outlined in the Divine mes Scripture, Gu He manipted the purple mes. The surrounding dou qi gathered and collided with his flesh and bones. Strands of the purple mes even prated into his soul.


    In an instant, Gu He''s body was enveloped in purple mes. "Arghhhhhh!"


    An excruciating pain surged through Gu He''s body, spreading to every bone, every bit of flesh, and even his soul...
