Chapter 352 - Consecutive Breakthrough
The incorporeal golden-white flower was in full bloom, giving off a sacred and righteous aura. It wasn't that huge and was just like a speck of dust compared to the humongous God Exterminating Divine Eye. However, the said divine entity was now looking at the tiny incorporeal flower with a confused look.
"What's happening? Why did this guy suddenly stop?" Jiu Shen watched the scene with interest. He knew that the Divine Ascension Flower was an extinct celestial plant, but he had no idea about the extent of its power.
Suddenly, the huge bloody eyeball blinked a few times and displayed a look of dread. Bloodied veins popped out around the pupil, making it look even more horrifying.
Jiu Shen who was looking curiously at the divine entity could see it trembling in dread. "So even such an entity is scared of the Divine Ascension Flower..."
After a moment, the God Exterminating Divine Eye shifted its gaze towards Jiu Shen. It revealed a look of hesitation as if contemplating something. Not long later, the divine entity went back inside the rift in space and disappeared along with the bolts of lightning. The Spirit World regained its calmness after the huge eyeball was gone and only the incorporeal golden-white flower was left hovering in midair.
Jiu Shen saw the flower move towards him. He did not evade the flower since he sensed no malice from it. It then went inside his dantian and exploded into tiny bits of divine light.
"What pure energy!" Jiu Shen hurriedly absorbed the energy left behind by the flower and refined it in his dantian.
Early stage Origin God Realm!
Mid stage Origin God Realm!
Jiu Shen was shocked at his sudden breakthrough. He did not even have to face his tribulation lightning and just broke through without even breaking a sweat! Such a thing was unheard of even in the Primordial God Realm!
It was common knowledge that one would have to face their tribulation lightning to breakthrough to the next major realm. However, Jiu Shen broke through just like that!
"It was just one petal. What would happen if I consume the whole flower?" Jiu Shen muttered to himself.
After that shocking moment, Jiu Shen took out the two Fruits of Cultivation and popped them into his mouth.
Crunch. Crunch.
Late stage Origin God Realm!
Peak stage Origin God Realm!
"I never thought that cultivating could be this easy." Jiu Shen shook his head with a wry smile. He clenched his fists and felt the huge increase in his power. At this moment, he was confident that he could squash the so-called 'His Majesty' with just one finger!
"Time to go back. By now, Aren should have brought those humans to the store..." Jiu Shen muttered as he communicated with the system.
"System, summon the entrance."
A door appeared and Jiu Shen pushed it open.

The general and his men were gobsmacked as they stared at the valuable spiritual plants outside the lotus building. They could sense the abundant true essence exuding from the spiritual plants. This alone was enough to tell them that these spiritual plants were precious.
"General, look! That is a Nascent-rank spiritual plant, the Dark Begonia Wyvern Flower! Consuming that rare herb would make a 9th-rank Saint increase his chance of breaking through to the Nascent God Realm by seventy-five percent! And look at that carnivorous spiritual plant right there! That is a Malignant Bladed Cactus! That thing is also a Nascent-rank spiritual plant! But how could such precious spiritual plants grow this abundantly in the soil of Morlon City? Even a wild grass could not survive the harsh environment of this place..." A soldier adjusted the rim of his broken glasses as he pointed at the spiritual plants with an incredulous look on his face.
"You think I can't identify the value of these spiritual plants? Shut up and don't make me lose face!" The general felt slightly embarrassed when he saw how his subordinates were acting, but he could not blame them since even he was tempted to take a stalk or two among those rare herbs!
Aren chuckled in his heart when he saw this scene, but he maintained a calm expression as he led them inside the lotus building.
When Aren pushed the door open, the human soldiers saw three country-toppling beauties dressed in beautiful dresses of different colors. The ladies were sizing them up curiously as they entered the lotus building. The battle-hardened soldiers could not help but feel their hearts beating wildly when they felt the scrutinizing gazes of the three ladies.
Just then, a deep and horrifying voice suddenly sounded behind them. The general and his men turned their gazes and saw a huge bulky demon wearing a butler's uniform. And when they identified the demon, their expressions turned into dread as they exclaimed. "Demon Lord Burlock!"
The general was gripped with fear as he stared at the hulking demon. He put his remaining hand on the hilt of his sword, but before he could pull his weapon, he felt a soft pat on his shoulder.
"Take it easy. Burlock is one of us." The general turned his head and saw Aren's reassuring smile. He removed his hand from his weapon, but he was still looking at Burlock with a wary expression.
Looking at the scared humans, Burlock raised his hands innocently and said crooked smile. "Don't worry, I've already sworn allegiance to Wine Master Jiu Shen. At this moment, that old Demon Ancestor Jun might already be thinking of ways on how to dispose of me."
"I apologize for our disrespectful actions, Demon Lord Burlock. We've been fighting with Demon Lord Zorzoch's men, so we are kind of anxious at the moment." The general bowed his head apologetically.
Burlock shook his head and walked away. "I just hope that His Majesty won't come here soon..."
"Let's wait for my master. He will make arrangements for you guys once he arrives.." Aren said to them before he went back to guard the entrance of the lotus building.
