[You possess a sacred body, your aptitude is already at its peak, so there's no doubt you can cultivate to the level of Golden Bones!]
[Yes, above the golden bones.]
With a 500x enhancement to your inherent potential, you already possess ten times the maximum aptitude. How could you possibly stop at merely Golden Bone?
Over the next few days, your bones will change color one day at a time.
[On the first day, it was made of silvery-white iron.]
The next day, it was silver-gray steel skeleton.
On the third day, the bones were the color of white jade.
[Pale gold bone, deep gold bone, pure gold bone...red stone bone, amethyst bone, blue diamond bone...]
[Seven-Colored Light Bones!]
[Nine-Colored Glazed Bones!]
You're now embarrassed to talk to people when you walk at night because most other bones are covered by skin and flesh, but teeth are different.
Every night when it opens its mouth, it emits a dazzling, nine-colored light that shines on passersby.
[When you enter a dark alley, simply open your lips, and the eerie path will instantly transform into a vibrant, star-studded avenue!]
However, as you progress to the later stages of this realm, your bones will turn pure black again, incredibly dull, a black that reflects absolutely no light!
Once it reaches perfection, it turns from black to white again, forming a cycle.
"Indeed, even the strongest bones eventually return to being mortal." You muttered to yourself, "But this so-called mortal bone is still very different from real mortal bone."
"My mortal bones may appear ordinary, but my stats and cultivation level speak for themselves. Your mortal status is truly mortal."
[You assessed your own stats, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks, leaping hundreds of meters in a single bound, and casually shattering a boulder tens of meters high with a single blow.]
"Late stage of innate constitution."
"But stat-wise, it's still a notch weaker than the Yalong people we fought a couple of weeks ago."
"After all... the gap between lower realms is really small. Although Bone Forging is said to be the stage that improves strength the most among 'skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and membranes,' it's only twice as strong as the Tendon Forging stage."
"As for the final step, the 'eardrum,' even if you go all the way, it will only be less than a quarter better than before."
"Starting from the Flesh and Essence stage, I painstakingly improved several realms, but I'm still stuck in the Innate realm, only my combat power has increased from a few times that of a Grandmaster to dozens of times..."
To put it more clearly, the eardrum is the bulging of various tiny membranes and layers within the body, allowing one to unleash greater power without harming the body!
[Some people may strain ligaments, tear muscles, or rip skin by excessive punching or running, but tying the eardrum can increase the threshold for this kind of overload burst.]
[It will also increase physical strength a bit more. After all, cultivation is a holistic process. Although it is divided into five stages—skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and fascia—in reality, when you focus on training one part, the strength of the others is also increasing, albeit at a relatively smaller rate.]
Otherwise, after completing the tendon-strengthening exercise, one's strength would be at least three or four thousand pounds. If one's bones were still at the strength of an ordinary person, how could they withstand even the slightest movement? A slight exertion would likely break them from one's own muscles!
[The improvement in strength during the tympanic membrane stage is relatively small, but you feel that when you complete this stage, considering the "internal energy" given by the Zunyuan Dao Seal, your strength should reach the level of that sub-dragon.]
This level is considered foundational; it doesn't offer much improvement, but it takes the longest time to reach.
[You estimate it will take four to five months to complete this step and truly reach the peak of the Zero Realm.]
[Just halfway through the third month in Rimbaud City, another wave of events occurred.]
"Three months have passed, so that's two and a half months, isn't it?"
A "food plague" erupted in the ancient Mir forest, three thousand miles away.
[A "food disaster" does not refer to a disaster caused by food, but rather to a situation where a certain organism is feeding voraciously, causing an overpopulation.]
A pack of dark red monsters, resembling small mountains and with an overall appearance similar to Bogang, known as the "Kala Behemoths," formed. They gnawed on trees as they approached Lanbo City, traveling two hundred miles a day.
The Kara Behemoth is a bizarre creature that doesn't conform to any particular ecosystem. It's unknown whether it was created by some unscrupulous sorcerer or mage, but these monsters devour any organic matter in their path without restraint, refusing to stop until the entire earth is wiped out.
Besides their insatiable appetite, they also reproduce rapidly after consuming large quantities of food. The initial few Kara behemoths are nothing to worry about, but once they reach a certain size and gain influence, it will be a catastrophe!
It is said that... several thousand years ago, an exceptionally terrifying food plague struck the Sea Soul Continent.
[However, that food disaster occurred in a remote corner, sweeping across more than a million miles of land, yet no powerful figures noticed it.]
In the end, it was only through the desperate efforts of a True Self Sorcerer (Third Realm) who could transform into a Silver Moon Wolf that they were all finally killed, but he too succumbed to exhaustion and died.
[After hearing the above description of the food disaster, you fell silent: "..."]
[This kind of problem, which could be solved by simply sending out a fourth-realm expert, yet allowing the suffering of countless lives to go unaddressed, reminds me of the sea monster tide that Han Hai Ning Bo experienced years ago, although there are fundamental differences between the two.]
[The Sea Soul Continent is different from the Azure Domain. At that time, the human race in the Azure Domain had two major enemy races, and facing the highly controversial Vast Ocean Condensing Waves led by the sea demons, it was inconvenient for them to take action.]
When they send their supreme beings to deal with the sea monsters, other coastal areas, and even places where the demon and monster races are fighting, will have an excuse to intervene.
For the sake of humanity as a whole, the best solution is to let the Vast Ocean Wave People resolve the issue themselves. Or, even if the sea monsters win afterward, as long as none of them break through to the fourth realm, they won't dare to completely exterminate humanity. In short, it's better than the series of consequences caused by the Supreme's intervention.
In a situation involving three or more powerful contenders, failing to adhere to established rules will result in being squeezed by the combined forces of the other parties, leading to significant losses!
[However, this simulation didn't have this problem because the Terrans were all aggressively pushing Kuku's core abilities, adopting an unprecedentedly tough stance, completely disregarding the potential negative consequences. After all, once they became powerful, those consequences were insignificant!]
Now that the Azure Domain has become a place where the human race has absolute power, if a certain area suffers harm from other alien races and the local forces are unable to resolve the situation... then, based on the target's cultivation level, a being of the next higher cultivation level from the vicinity will be dispatched to sweep it away.
