I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Chapter 2188: Chapter 977: Ascending to Saint Master, The Beginning of Ruin

A No Origin Space not far from Cangyun Divine Sea.

The commotion from Han Yi’s breakthrough grew increasingly larger, attracting more and more cultivators. He did not avoid them; on the contrary, he directly released his aura, and the phenomena it evolved seemed endless, occupying this piece of No Origin Space.

Some cultivators walked out from the Chaos Realm, observed his breakthrough, found resonance in their hearts, and achieved breakthroughs on the spot, ready to return to the Chaos Realm and ascend the Eternal Pillar to breakthrough to the Eternal Realm.

A Sealing King Level Eternal Cultivator watched closely and comprehended the Yin Yang Immortality from the Five Elements, breaking through to the Emperor Level, with golden lotuses emerging, and phenomena filling the sky.

Even Great Emperor Level Eternal Cultivators felt something, causing their thoughts to ripple.

And in the closest position to Han Yi, there were four Dominator Level cultivators.

"Daoist Han is about to breakthrough to Saint Master."

"So fast, it seems refining that Lost Saint Master has greatly enhanced him."

"It is likely because of that mysterious Five Elements Scroll that gave him a push, helping him cross the final step."

"Such fortune is beyond our envy."

"However, with a true Saint Master overseeing us, our Super Sacred Land here can be more stable, no longer fearing the Lost Tribulation."

"Indeed, but who knows what kind of scene the even more devastating Destruction Tribulation will present."

"When the time comes, we naturally will understand."

Han Yi’s breakthrough took a thousand years, which is quite short for a Saint Master. This is because his foundation was substantial and his accumulation rich, allowing him to cross into the Saint Master Realm so quickly.

For a typical Dominator, it would require a long time, thousands or even tens of thousands of Chaos Eras, to accumulate enough to break through.

In the current No Origin Space, besides Purple Light Saint Master and Star Remains Saint Master, the Dominator closest to Saint Master level is the one from Great Source Mountain.

Great Source Mountain is one of the Holy Lands in the Ten Thousand Dao Ascension Zone. In terms of strength, it should rank high and has two Dominators, with Great Source Dominator’s strength not far from a Saint Master.

After the outbreak of the Lost Tribulation, Floating City and Great Source Mountain allied together, establishing a dual Holy Land joint superpower, surviving through several invasions of Lost Cultivators by mutual support and vigilance.

A thousand years later.

Han Yi put away the Heavenly River Map, instructed a few Dominators, and left this Holy Land force.

After advancing to Saint Master, Han Yi had an insight. If he were to break through beyond a Saint Master level at a normal cultivation speed, it would not be achievable in even a hundred Chaos Eras, and it might require thousands or even tens of thousands of Chaos Eras.

According to the then White Continent’s Saint Master Bai, the Destruction Tribulation was soon to begin. The quickest might be in just ten Chaos Eras, even at a slower pace, it would arrive in thirty Chaos Eras.

Furthermore, the duration of the Destruction Tribulation wouldn’t be long, but its power would exponentially increase, not giving him much time.

Therefore, he needed to make his strength more robust in a shorter time. Even if he couldn’t breakthrough above a Saint Master level, he needed to have equivalent combat power.

Of course.

Before he left, he also left a Tao Body and ample methods to guard against potential Lost incursions. If another Lost Saint Master appeared, his Tao Body would hold them off for a time, allowing him time to return.

After leaving.

Han Yi, holding the Five Elements Map, began hunting Lost Cultivators at the borders between No Origin and the Lost, naturally targeting not ordinary Lost Cultivators but Dominator Level and even Saint Master Level Lost Cultivators.

For several hundred years, he attempted to venture into the Outer Lost Land, enduring the omnipresent Lost Will and battling with Lost Cultivators.

He found this boundless Lost Will strong, but it seemed devoid of emotion, resembling the ’Heavenly Tao’ of small worlds, merely following certain rules, without personal emotional fluctuations.

Of course, the strength of the Lost Will far surpassed the so-called ’Heavenly Tao.’ With Han Yi’s current cultivation, he could casually annihilate countless Heavenly Taos and could create and destroy Tao Principles.

Yet, the vastness of the Lost Will engulfing the Outer Realms far exceeded Han Yi’s expectations.

While traversing the Lost as a Saint Master, he couldn’t even persist to the point where the former ’Source’ reached the outer wall; he had to turn back halfway, realizing that his spirit was beginning to be affected. If he continued deeper, he might also become one of the Lost Cultivators.

Upon returning to the No Origin, it took him several hundred years to remove the influence he had received.

Then, he continued at the borders between No Origin and the Lost, holding the Five Elements Map, continuously battling Lost Cultivators. This border area was not limited to the vicinity of the Super Sacred Land where Cangyun Divine Sea is located but encompassed the Three Major Zones, including Ten Thousand Paths, Thousand Transformations, and Six Desires as his hunting grounds.

As his position continuously changed, he frequently passed through the Five Elements Land.

He observed that the Five Elements Land continually expanded over time, with the mysteries and strangeness it contained increasingly astonishing Han Yi. At least, the cold fire domain’s fire dragon whose tail he had previously severed had already grown a new tail, and its aura had long exceeded the Saint Master level, continuing to strengthen over time.

Despite this, Han Yi, taking a risk during a pass-by, infiltrated it and severed the tail and limbs of the now Saint Master-ranked fire dragon, refining these parts into the Five Elements Map.
