Chapter 276: Pay-to-Win, Activate!
How much spiritual power is contained in three hundred million top-grade spiritual stones?
No one knows.
Because no one is bored enough to calculate such a thing.
But without a doubt, that’s a terrifying amount, horrifying enough to surpass most people’s imaginations.
Because the total spiritual stones used in most cultivators’ lives wouldn’t even add up to three hundred million.
So, when Young Master Sang heard Nian Nian say that they could create cultivation using spiritual power, he began to imagine what he would conjure up.
He was feeling a bit excited.
“But there’s another problem.”
Young Master Sang suddenly hesitated: “Those three hundred million spiritual stones are company funds. As a leader, isn’t it a bit wrong to embezzle company funds?”
“Isn’t it usually the leaders who embezzle funds?”
Young Master Sang: “?”
“What I mean,” Nian Nian coughed lightly, “is that you’re about to die, so don’t worry about the company funds at this point.”
“First, make an IOU for your little wives, and pay it back slowly later.”
That makes sense.
If I get caught by this old man now, I’m going to lose that money anyway.
I might as well swallow it directly.
“Alright, let’s get started.” Young Master Sang rubbed his hands, looking at Nian Nian.
Nian Nian also pursed her lips, gracefully waved her jade hand, and Young Master Sang’s storage bag flew from his waist, instantly causing spiritual stones to burst forth like a waterfall.
Similarly, as soon as the spiritual stones flew out of the storage bag, they melted around Young Master Sang like snow, dissipating into thick spiritual mist.
Young Master Sang closed his eyes and began to imagine his cultivation soaring.
As he shut his eyes, the surrounding spiritual mist began to flow into him like a river rushing to the sea.
Under the divine power of the Earth Store Immortal Jade, the vast spiritual power crashed wildly, washing and reshaping every pore, meridian, organ, and spirit sea in his body.
In an instant, a pain that felt like being torn apart made Young Master Sang grunt.
“Although it might hurt a bit, you have to endure it.”
Nian Nian gently patted his hair, a tinge of concern on her face: “Just hold on for a little while longer.”
“…I’m fine.”
Young Master Sang was sweating profusely, but still grinned.
“I’ve gotten used to pain.”
Nian Nian bit her lip, silent.
Time passed slowly, the terrifying spiritual energy vortex continued to surge into Young Master Sang, and those three hundred million spiritual stones seemed endless, still flooding out.
Nian Nian also watched as Young Master Sang’s aura became increasingly blurred, murmuring to herself:
“Let me see.”
“Spending three hundred million can get you to what level.”

Li Shanyan raised his hand, pointing towards the immobile Young Master Sang, who looked like a lamb awaiting slaughter.
He released a pressure but didn’t use force, carefully afraid he might accidentally crush this foundation-level cultivator.
But just as his hand hovered in the air.
A sudden change occurred!
“Eh?” Li Shanyan squinted.
Just moments ago, Young Master Sang had been shivering like a little kitten. Suddenly, his internal aura became bizarre and indistinguishable.
At the same time, his link to him was unexpectedly broken.
What’s going on? Li Shanyan stared at Young Master Sang in confusion, only to see Young Master Sang regain his freedom.
He slowly raised his hand, his fingertip lightly tapping his brow.
A fierce, devilish mask slowly extended, plunging the sky into boundless darkness.
As the mask mode activated, Young Master Sang’s figure suddenly appeared incredibly ethereal in Li Shanyan’s eyes.
An inexplicable sense of intimidation and fear arose in Li Shanyan’s heart.
It felt as if a voice was endlessly whispering deep within his soul:
…Reverence him.
…Fear him.
…Submit to him.
Although Li Shanyan didn’t know what kind of technique this was, he understood that had it not been himself but another weaker Great Ascension being, they would probably be greatly affected.
This feeling of fear and pressure, to some extent, would influence one’s mindset, making their attacks three points weaker.
“…Interesting.”
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Li Shanyan’s aged and murky eyes. He kept his hand steady, pointing directly at Young Master Sang.
But this time.
As he pointed, the space trembled and twisted, as if it was bearing unbearable pressure.
This time, he didn’t hold back.
He seriously pointed at Young Master Sang with the strength of the Great Ascension.
That seemingly ordinary finger exuded an oppressive force that felt as heavy as a mountain, slowly pressing towards Young Master Sang.
On Young Master Sang’s side, he finally opened his eyes.
The spiritual power from the three hundred million top-grade spiritual stones was nearing its end, and the massive vortex of spiritual energy was finally showing signs of exhaustion.
The surging spiritual force continued to flow into Young Master Sang, deepening and enriching his aura like an immense sea.
Finally, once the last bit of spiritual energy was absorbed into his body.
In that moment, Young Master Sang felt an unprecedented fullness and tranquility.
“……I’ve kept you waiting.”
He raised his head, glancing at Li Shanyan.
Then he also raised his hand and slowly clenched his fist.
The Dream Jun Sword, like flowing gold, instantly enveloped Young Master Sang’s fist, transforming into a radiant gauntlet.
This was the ability unlocked after recovering the Earth Store Immortal Iron. The Earth Store Immortal Iron could transform into anything, changing into whatever Young Master Sang desired.
This was also Young Master Sang’s first time using this ability.
“Let me show you the cash power of a pay-to-win player.”
“How unreasonable it really is.” Young Master Sang slowly grinned.
Beneath the mask, his smile was fierce like a devil, his clenched right fist brimming with power.
Then, like a cannonball, he charged towards that withered and skeletal hand.
……
In that instant of their fists colliding, the world seemed to fall silent.
Then, in the next moment.
“BOOM!!!”
A storm that swept through mountains erupted at the point where their fists met, an unimaginable spiritual power storm, accompanied by terrifying spatial rifts, instantly reduced everything within ten miles to ashes.
The entire space seemed to tremble under their clash.
Time stretched on.
Li Shanyan retracted his hand, looking thoughtfully at the dust on his fingertip.
“…I didn’t expect my old eyes to misjudge.”
“Though it’s only the early stage of Great Ascension, it is indeed genuine Great Ascension.”
“It seems the rumors of possession and rebirth are indeed true,” he smiled at Young Master Sang.
Opposite him, Young Master Sang, with a green face and fangs, exuded an ominous and terrifying aura, the dark clouds absorbing all light, the only thing illuminated being the eerie green lantern in front of him, flickering ominously.
“Possession or not, it doesn’t matter.”
Young Master Sang slowly grinned: “I am who I am. The head of the Demon Cultivators’ Punishment Department, Young Master Sang.”
Likewise.
He is also the Demon Cultivator Lord of the Punishment Department, feared and dreaded by the world.
