BXBX NOVEL Chapter 125 - 125
There was debris everywhere that painted a chaotic chain of destruction but the scattered motions still have not halted at all. Not for one moment.
The walls were ripped apart and even the pristine carpeted floors and ceiling above were sucked into an irresistible external force that could never be explained by the simple cognition of mortal faculties alone.
Amidst this dynamic advent of change, our op protagonist was not panicked at all. Far from that in fact.
"Fuck me! This shit is so cool!" Clark exclaimed in excitement.
At first, he was alarmed when the unannounced explosion of spiritual energy began but all of sudden, everything turned into slow motion in the next instant that followed.
He even had the absurd notion that he could totally wait for a trillion years and the outburst of power around him would still not conclude to finish even after the passage of those long unholy years.
If this had not come to be, he would have no other choice but to escape with Lai Peng, Wan Fei, Ning Xi, the two maidservants, and of course Tang Xinyue in tow.
But since this surprising thing happened, running away now was definitely not within Clark\'s immediate concerns. He was of course not negligent with the lives of his people.
With one scan of his spiritual sense alone, he ascertained that it was only his room that suffered this kind of attack tonight.
"Care to tell me what\'s this all about, Nancy?" Clark sought for guidance from his system cheat as usual.
"Affirmative, host. Cultivation starts in Mortal Shedding Realm where one can master his body to its fullest potential.
Next is the Foundation Establishment Realm where one can make use of the elements in nature.
The third is of course the Golden Core Realm that enables a cultivator to store unbelievable amounts of power inside his dantian.
This could serve as a separate fuel and source of energy for both cultivators and magical beasts alike who have reached this part in cultivation. And then comes the fourth realm.
Cultivators can begin to acquire Dao Mastery at the 1st Stage of Aspirant Realm and they will only grow stronger in influencing their respective skill set with time and with each successive big jump in cultivation realms.
In the end, the average power stat for True Immortals that has already reached the Peak at the 10th Stage of True Immortal Realm, is only at the 1,000,000,000 power stat.
Hypothetically, this would already mean that one has mastered every single Dao in existence within the confines of this Mortal Realm.
This is why in your case, having 4 billion of power stat, could only mean that you have gained insight and enlightenment 4 times that of the possible number allowed in this realm."
Nancy explained patiently.
"Are you sure you\'re not sick or something, Nancy? How could a body, an armor, a weapon and a spear secret art technique combined equate to me learning all Daos like getting the ultimate package in a gacha game?
That\'s just too incredible!" Clark almost did not believe the system.
"The system is running perfectly fine, host. You should try on meditating to summon forth the Myriad Daos in order to verify if the system is telling you lies or not."
Nancy sounded hurt upon hearing Clark\'s doubts and hesitation.
"I\'m just kidding, Nancy. You know how I love to be a funny clown sometimes. For me, you are the best system cheat ever! And no one could take your place in my heart!"
Clark sent some praises towards the system in order to placate Nancy in the end.
It was of course not a good idea to antagonize someone that spelled his doom or survival in this xianxia world.
"HAHAHA! And here I thought that I only have the punching power that could match Saitama himself. Never did I expect that I would get an even bigger boon than that."
Clark laughed out loud and he did not even care for his audience to hear him.
With how slow they were moving, he doubted that they would get to hear his message after spending a trillion years of wait in this place.
And so with a hopeful attitude, Clark chose to believe the system once more like the countless times he already did in the past.
"Now let\'s see how this is done." Our good gamer muttered and began collecting every specific Dao unto his arsenal.
Sword Dao!
Space!
Time!
Whip!
Flame!
Life!
Death!
Metal!
Wood!
Wind!
Lightning!
Snow!
Illusions!
Seal!
Formations!
Slaughter!
.
..
...
It only took approximately 10 minutes for Clark to master every known Dao Mastery in existence. At this point of time, everything around him felt so familiar.
Even the composition of the whole universe seemed no longer alien to him at all.
There was a ridiculous idea that sprang to his mind wherein it told him that creating something similar to this Mortal Realm was pretty much doable for him at the moment.
Not that he entertained this silly thought at all. Our bored gamer was much wiser to fall for that crazy scheme.
"Let\'s check how stronger i\'ve become since my transformation." Clark took his Mythical Weapon from his inventory and held the cold spear in his left hand.
"Show me my stats, Nancy." Clark ordered the system.
"Affirmative, host."

"WTF! Why did my power stat not increase, Nancy?!" Clark was shocked with what he had seen before him.
He had expected for it to skyrocket to at least 10 to 20 times but upon witnessing the stagnant numbers on the screen and the clear green texts that accompanied the character status sheet, disappointment was a rather great understatement to what he was feeling right now.
"You are bound by the system, host. You can only get power through it and you are also limited by it in a sense." Nancy replied.
"Translation: I am nothing with the system." Clark whispered and he smiled sadly upon realizing this eternal truth again.
He could feel the anger inside him bubble to the surface and could only shake his head in lament.
"It seems like even in my current staggering power, I\'m still shackled to the baser emotions in my heart." Our crestfallen protagonist tried something else afterwards.
\'And my spiritual sense remains only at the same pitiful 70 meter range.\' And he was even more upset in what he found. Still, he did not let this conclusion stop him from experimenting at all.
"He raised his spear and carelessly pointed in a random direction."
"BREAK!" Spacetime shattered and bridged the gap of several light years away unto the distant and far away stars in the cosmos.
Clark took his time to search for a deserted dying planet with no life whatsoever.
He of course asked the system to scan the planet for any lifeforms before confirming that it was indeed as lifeless as it appeared.
After getting the answer he wanted, Clark did not waste anymore time and attacked the planet with every power that he could muster.
In normal cases, this single strike alone would have already pulverized that heavenly body into oblivion. Alas, what happened next was none of the expected outcome.
"Pffft!" The breakage of space slowly returned to heal itself and not before fully showing the unscathed surface of a static dead rock in the middle of nowhere.
"Sad. This is just too sad." Clark sighed for the umpteenth time. He mulled for some possible course of actions for a few minutes before asking the system once more.
"Since i can now use Void Travel to seek out other realms, can i return to my home world Earth?" Our hopeful protagonist asked.
With his recently acquired knowledge about the Dao of Space, it was now so easy for him to journey anywhere he wanted.
He did not even have to use his fake teleportation using his Blood Twin anymore.
"Negative, host. You could try finding your original world but the system assures you that the journey would only be in vain for you.
My master would not allow you to go back to your home world without you reaching first the apex of strength in this Mortal Realm." Nancy answered.
"I see. That just sucks for me then." Clark unconsciously rubbed his cleanly shaven face like the many times he has already done in his lifetime as Lu Chen.
He paused for a moment or two before he realized something else entirely. And he was certainly not fond of how this knowledge has brought nothing but further worries in his soul.
"Tell me, Nancy... with how overpowered i am today, how can the Elder God still get some enjoyment at my expense?" Clark whispered softly.
"The system thinks that you already know the answer to that particular question, host." Nancy responded indirectly for a change.
"Yeah and that\'s exactly what i feared. Thank you, Nancy." Clark took a deep breath and motioned with his left hand.
He opened his palm and time began to rewound itself until the instant before the explosion took place.
Our bored gamer was not taking any chances for his visitors to learn something from his audible banters with Nancy earlier even if there was only little chance for that happening in the first place.
The four True Immortals that were with Clark in the room were left unaware of this technique ever happening but the same could not be said to the one who created this extreme devastation in the first place.
"The Dao of Time?" An old voice whispered in the void.
"BOOM!" A moment later, a deafening explosion ensued for the second time inside our bored gamer\'s private room.
