Chapter 49 — Strengthening the Foundation

Li Tianyu looked at the large collection of Rank Three permanent enhancement-type Gu worms stored inside his aperture.

These were the various instant-use expendable enhancement Gu worms he had accumulated over the years.

Some enhanced his physical body.

Some strengthened his soul.

Some increased his elemental defenses.

Others increased his elemental attack power.

There were enhancements related to numerous different paths and elements.

Now that he had reached Rank Three...

He could finally make full use of them.

Li Tianyu didn't hesitate.

He began activating them one after another.

Boom!

A strange energy entered his body.

His physical strength increased.

Another Gu worm was activated.

His bones and muscles became tougher.

Another.

His soul became stronger.

Another.

His resistance against elemental attacks increased.

Another.

His own elemental attacks became more powerful.

One after another...

The permanent enhancements accumulated.

The process continued for three days.

During those three days, Li Tianyu carefully controlled the process.

He didn't activate everything recklessly.

Each enhancement needed to properly integrate into his existing foundation.

Fortunately, his Primordial Flame Physique had already advanced to Rank Three.

His body was strong enough to withstand the effects.

Finally...

The last instant-use enhancement Gu worm was activated.

A powerful energy spread through his body.

Li Tianyu slowly opened his eyes.

He carefully sensed himself.

His foundation had undergone another substantial transformation.

His physical body was stronger.

His soul was stronger.

His resistance against various elemental attacks had increased.

His own elemental attacks had become more powerful.

His overall foundation had risen to another level.

Li Tianyu carefully assessed his current strength.

Previously, while still at Rank Two Peak Stage, he could already contend with ordinary Rank Four Gu Masters for a short period of time and escape.

Now...

His cultivation had reached Rank Three Peak Stage.

His core Gu worms were all Rank Three.

His killer moves had been upgraded.

His Primordial Flame Physique had advanced.

His permanent enhancements had accumulated.

His theft ability had become stronger.

His recovery had become faster.

His defense had become more powerful.

And his movement speed had increased.

Against a Rank Four Gu Master...

Li Tianyu now possessed the strength to fight them directly and even inflict some injuries.

Of course...

He still couldn't treat Rank Four Gu Masters carelessly.

There was still a significant difference between Rank Three and Rank Four.

His current strength allowed him to battle them.

It didn't mean he could casually defeat them.

Li Tianyu understood this clearly.

'My foundation is already sufficient.'

'The remaining permanent enhancement Gu worms should be used gradually.'

He still possessed many slow-use Rank Three permanent enhancement Gu worms.

Unlike the instant-use ones, these required time for their effects to gradually merge with his body, soul, and foundation.

Using all of them wouldn't be something that could be completed in a few days.

At his current pace...

It would probably take approximately one year to finish using them all.

Li Tianyu wasn't in a hurry.

He had already reached Rank Three Peak Stage.

His immediate combat strength had risen dramatically.

Now...

He could slowly refine his foundation and make every aspect of himself stronger.

Li Tianyu stood and looked toward the distant Central Continent.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

'One year.'

'That's enough time.'

'By then...'

'I'll be even stronger.'

He activated—

Fire Path Killer Move — Crimson Flame Soar.

Crimson flames erupted.

His figure transformed into a streak of crimson light and disappeared into the distance.

The next stage of his journey had begun.
