The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 738 - 411: The Strength of Nine Oxen and Two Tigers (Extra)_2

However, when calculated this way, the strength Ning Xiaoxian has obtained is truly astonishing. Just the "nine oxen and two tigers" power alone added 257,000 kg to her, and together with her own strength of over 16,000 pounds, her physical power now exceeds 530,000 pounds. This figure is only slightly lower than that of Qi Zai, who, being born a Bird Demon, naturally has less strength than those of the giant strength demon species, thus having a base strength of more than 37,000 pounds. Counting in the Seven Symbols Power, it approaches a total near 300,000 Kg.

But don’t forget, if Ning Xiaoxian were to wield a Demon Skull imbued with the Power of Giant Snake, her physical power would increase fifteenfold, reaching a terrifying 79,500,000 pounds! If she were to confront the crocodile demon with the Demon Skull now, she could grind it into a patty with a single punch; no matter how thick the crocodile demon’s scale armor, not a piece of it could remain intact.

Realizing this, a soft gasp arose from the arena. It turns out that after the enhancement, apart from Changtian, Ning Xiaoxian had suddenly become the strongest one present.

The common Dragon Elephant Fruits given by Hidden Stream naturally won’t have such strong efficacy. But the soil could amplify the effect of crops by tenfold, and the power now attributed to her Demon Skull is the Power of Giant Snake, so the enhancement to her physical strength actually far exceeds a hundredfold. Now she finally understood why, every few years, at the Heavenly Residence sale event, those Heaven Rank magic artifacts could fetch astonishingly high prices. It appears that the effect of the equipment on the cultivation and assistance of cultivators and demons is so significant. This Divine Sword Demon Skull, which is carried by Yin Jiuyou’s clone, would be auctioned at the sale for at least 7 million Spirit Stones, and it would be priceless. This shows that among the four key elements of cultivation "wealth, companionship, art, and location," "wealth" is indeed the most important, a costly lesson.

Of course, if she were to imbue the Demon Skull with the Green-eyed Golden Toad’s "tear-inducing" innate ability, then her power would revert back to its original form, merely 530,000 pounds.

Every time they advance into a new realm, the demons’ strength multiplies geometrically. However, Demon Cultivation often follows a path that includes both internal and external cultivation, so the explosive increase in her external power also drove her realm to advance rapidly. She had barely processed her Divine Refining Stage when she had already stepped into the next realm, Returning to Void Stage. The arrival of a brand new realm means her muscles and bones are even stronger, her meridians wider, and her physical constitution much more robust, which, in turn, allows her to endure longer in the Demon Transformation Spring, absorbing more Divine Power with each cultivation session...

Now looking at Ning Xiaoxian’s face, she was all smiling, where could one find any trace of dejection?

"Emotions are reflected in one’s expression; you really are too naive," Changtian also said with a smile, but his words struck her hard, "Don’t celebrate too soon. This nearly eight million pounds of Divine Power is just a theoretical value for you."

Her smile stiffened. When would this guy’s habit of throwing cold water on her ever change? "What do you mean?"

"I told you quite early, didn’t I? Under normal circumstances, whether human or demon, strength is proportional to physique, which is to say, the body’s robustness. You’re clear about the reasons, right? This principle was definitely not arbitrarily concluded by our predecessors."

She reined in her smile, pondering.

Changtian continued: "The true power of your physical body, even with the nine oxen and two tigers added, is only over 300,000 Kg. This is a whole fifteen times less than the eight million pounds of Divine Power. Just now, the medicinal power of the Dragon Elephant Fruit was circulating through your body, and the goal was to expand your physique to a level that matches that over 300,000 Kg. "

She understood most of it and her face immediately fell: "Are you saying that I have this eight million pounds of Divine Power, but can’t use it?"

"Originally, the Power of Giant Snake was an innate power tailored for me. However, we have the Demon Skull, an unconventional weapon, which transferred my innate power to you, which doesn’t comply with the norm. Even with your current physical strength, you couldn’t possibly handle eight million pounds of Giant Strength. If you try to exert such a huge force against an enemy, your muscles, blood vessels, and skin might burst open from the exertion before your punch even lands, how then can you harm the enemy?" Seeing Ning Xiaoxian still looking unconvinced, he added, "When you punched the crocodile demon in the head, did you feel a severe pain in your fist?"

"...Yes." More than just severe pain, her bones had cracked, but knowing that there were people watching in the secret realm, she pretended to be composed. Later, when fighting other opponents, she purposely reduced her strength, and indeed felt much better.

"That’s because your physical power didn’t match your body’s capacity at the time. Fortunately, your actual strength was minor then, and even multiplied by fifteen, it was not shocking; your body could barely withstand it. If now you dared to exert eight million pounds of force, I’m afraid you would collapse to the ground the very next second."

Her heart sank, "If I can’t use it, then what’s the use of the Demon Skull being imbued with the Power of Giant Snake?"

He pondered before saying, "Your constitution is much stronger than that of ordinary demons, and your body flows with Divine Power, so I estimate that you can utilize the power from the Demon Skull, probably around one million pounds... Stop looking at me like that, little girl. For you at the moment, this number is already astonishing; a few days ago, your physical strength was only a little over ten thousand pounds. Really, human desires are never satisfied!" (To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com).
