Regarding this, Zhang Yanhang could only say that a skill like Heaven and Earth Devourer, which automatically grows in strength as long as there is enough time, is indeed extremely overpowered.

"In addition to an increase in the maximum transformation limit, this time the power effect bonus provided by the Heavenly Earth Skill has also increased, with a 100% power effect bonus added. Originally, it was only 500% in total, but now it has increased to 600%."

Zhang Yanhang remembers that during his previous strength tests, under the simultaneous bonus of the Heavenly Earth Skill and the Giant Transformation four-piece set, his single-handed strength reached approximately 330,000 tons. Now, with an additional 100% bonus, it is estimated that his single-handed strength could increase to nearly 400,000 tons.

Then, with the added support of Spiritual Energy, it would immediately reach 800,000 tons. As for double-handed strength, that would increase from over a million tons to nearly two million tons.

"Not long ago (yesterday), I was still describing my strength using millions of pounds, and now so quickly it's multiplied by a thousand times, directly starting to describe it in millions of tons. I have to say, the promotion of ranks is indeed the best way to enhance one's strength."

But for some reason, with the sudden surge in strength, Zhang Yanhang suddenly wanted to find some female monsters to kill, like female dogs, possibly because he suddenly craved dog meat hotpot. After all, he hadn't eaten it in a long time; the last time he had it was probably half a month ago.

"Speaking of which, although the Heavenly Earth Skill has been promoted to Original LV.6, the skill consumption remains marked only as slight consumption of physical strength, and there has been no change from before. However, since the range of slight consumption of physical strength is extremely wide, the specific physical strength consumption still needs to be tested to know."

But Zhang Yanhang estimated that the physical strength consumption shouldn't increase too much. At least he feels that if he were to use the Hundred Feet Dharma Body state now, it certainly wouldn't be limited to just staying transformed like Ultraman for only three minutes. No matter what, it should at least sustain for five or even ten minutes, right?

After all, after advancing to the Fourth Tier, his stamina limit has increased by more than ten times.

However, considering that the larger the body size, the more physical strength consumption might increase, the exact duration of the transformation remains uncertain, but it certainly would last longer than three minutes, and he is quite confident about that.

"The Heavenly Earth Skill has now been fully upgraded, but I still have 8,600,000 soul points left. Although directly promoting and upgrading the skill to LV.6 is certainly not enough, if it's just a simple promotion, then it's still possible."

After some thought, Zhang Yanhang decided he should first improve the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Skill. After all, although Technique Immunity has a high priority, promoting it to Origin LV.5 wouldn't bring much change. Moreover, even if it did bring some change, it still wouldn't withstand that one strike from the heavens during the fist technique execution.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang feels that, at this moment, upgrading Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil would be more useful, providing him with more accurate guidance.

After all, when a bullet is fired, even the slightest deviation could cause a great error, not to mention he is preparing to launch it from outer space. If he misses, significant errors could occur, such as hitting Greenland when initially aimed elsewhere, possibly resulting in hitting nearby Northern Europe or even the closer North America.

Therefore, upgrading Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to better avoid hitting the wrong target is indeed necessary at this time.

"In that case, let's quickly upgrade the level of the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill. Choose! Skill level up!"

Zhang Yanhang quickly began to trigger the relevant skill upgrade options.

...

October 31, Saturday, the sixth day after the Double Ninth Festival, and also the second day since Zhang Yanhang left the Ashen World, at 10:09 AM, in the Main World, Greenland, Kerisotto Icefield.

Because he merely upgraded Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil·Original LV.MAX to Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil·Origin LV.5, Zhang Yanhang completed the upgrade quickly, but he did not immediately check the skill effects of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil·Origin LV.5. Instead, he first checked the balance of his soul points.

[Soul Points: 2,051,437 (-6,553,600)]

"Just now, upgrading Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to Origin LV.5 consumed another 6,553,600 soul points, reducing my soul point balance from the original 8,605,037 soul points to 2,051,437 soul points.

First, it dropped from an eight-digit number to a seven-digit number, and now, it seems like the seven-digit number is also about to vanish. But fortunately, these 2,050,000 soul points are not much for me at the moment, and I might even struggle to spend them.

Oh, wait, if I want to upgrade the profession level of Heavenly Destiny Master, then I can spend it, but only once or twice. After all, to upgrade my current profession level of LV.34 to LV.35, I still need only 1,600,000 soul points, but if I upgrade it again, it would indeed drop from a seven-digit to a six-digit number."

Fortunately, Zhang Yanhang is not in a hurry to upgrade his profession level since he currently doesn't lack free attribute points. In fact, after his previous upgrade, he still has three free attribute points unused.

Although he previously mentioned using them to enhance his charm attribute, the charm attribute has already overflowed due to that bottle of light golden quality Enchanting Demon Essence, so there's currently no area to apply them, as he also doesn't lack main attributes.

"Previously, every time I promoted a rank, I collected thirty-six free attribute points. This time, I might gather thirty-nine free attribute points."

Of course, if his four main attributes are still vacant before promotion, Zhang Yanhang would still use these three free attribute points to fill the gaps. However, according to the current situation, it seems unlikely.

"After upgrading Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil from Original LV.MAX to Origin LV.5, besides consuming 6,550,000 soul points, I also used one Ash Source and one Legendary Essence.

As a result, I previously had eight points of Ash Source and seven points of Legendary Essence. Now, they've each been reduced by one, leaving seven Ash Source and six Legendary Essence."

Zhang Yanhang counted previously, he still needs to advance seven skills in total, but because one of them is Alchemy which consumes a lot of Ash Source, his seven points of Ash Source are not enough even for simply advancing the skills, let alone advancing ranks. So, he still needs to continue working hard.

As for the Legendary Essence, there's no need to worry too much, since advancing a skill only requires one point. Excluding rank advancement, just advancing skills alone is manageable.

After checking the balance of Soul points, Zhang Yanhang quickly opened the skill effects of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil·Origin LV.5 and began to examine them.

[Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil·Origin LV.5 (Passive/Active)]

[Passive Effect: Neural Reflex Speed +50.0%]

[Active Effect: Determine the position of enemies within the Perception Range and predict their next attack to a certain extent. The current Perception Range is 5000+100(+50)×100[Intelligence]=15000 meters (+5000 meters). No cooldown, consumes a small amount of Physical Strength.]

[Additional Attribute: Skillful — You can now proficiently control Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil. You will be able to freely adjust the coverage range of perception and fully outline the enemy within the Perception Range.]

[Additional Attribute: Mastery — You have become highly skilled in controlling Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil; the penetration power of perception is enhanced, allowing you to perceive colors within the Perception Range through concentrated focus.]

[Additional Attribute: Specialization — After a long period of effort, you have honed the control of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to a level that can be described as specialized; the penetration power of perception is further enhanced along with the anti-interference ability, making your perception more detailed.]

[Additional Attribute: Expert — After long-term effort, your mastery of the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill can be deemed expert-level. Prolonged research has allowed you to gradually master methods of observing vibration, and you have acquired new understanding of perceptive colors and penetration power.]

"Wow! As expected of Origin-level Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill, the Intelligence Conversion Coefficient suddenly increased from the original fifty points to a hundred points, doubling significantly with a fifty-point increase on the Intelligence Conversion Coefficient."

Precisely because he knew that just slightly advancing the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill would yield massive growth, Zhang Yanhang wanted to use the remaining eight million Soul points to enhance his Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill.

"Now with the Intelligence Conversion Coefficient increased to one hundred points, combined with my one hundred points of Intelligence, it immediately provides me with a detection range of ten thousand meters, plus the five thousand meters of base Perception Range provided by the skill itself, making my maximum detection range directly increase by five thousand meters from the original ten thousand meters to fifteen thousand meters."

But in reality, because Zhang Yanhang also obtained a 45% Skill Range Bonus from the Dark Purple Quality Tarot Card Set, his actual Perception Range now is 21750 meters, having increased 7250 meters compared to the previous 14500 meters of Perception Range.

"From an actual detection range standpoint, the former detection range of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil was able to cover 165 square kilometers, and now it can cover a full 372 square kilometers! More than double the previous amount, an increase of 207 square kilometers in coverage area in one go."

In other words, my current scanning range can almost scan the entire Demonized Swamp at once, considering the Demonized Swamp removes those big rivers, it only amounts to less than 400 square kilometers."

After Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil expanded its coverage area to 372 square kilometers, Zhang Yanhang's small goal of simultaneously scanning the three districts within the city was finally accomplished, since the entire three districts combined only amount to 192 square kilometers, he can practically scan two of those city third districts simultaneously now.

Zhang Yanhang had previously anticipated that simply advancing the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill would likely cause the scanning area to spill over, and now it turns out his estimation was indeed correct.

"The Lao Mountain District next to the city's three districts only has 396 square kilometers, and I can almost scan the entire Lao Mountain District at one time now, missing just 24 kilometers. With an additional 13 million Soul points, advancing the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill to Origin LV.6 should effortlessly wrap this up."

Once the Lao Mountain District scanning tiny target is completed, Zhang Yanhang's next small goal will be simultaneous scanning of both the city's three districts and the Lao Mountain District, which would require 588 square kilometers of coverage area.

Mere advancement of the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill to Origin LV.6 would probably be difficult to accomplish, with the anticipated need for Tarot Card Quality upgrades and subsequent Skill Coverage Range Bonus to meet this small goal.

"And as things stand now, I can only scan half of the Lao Mountain District while simultaneously scanning the city's three districts."

Though Zhang Yanhang was not interested in the daily activities of the white-bearded priest at Lao Mountain Taoist Temple, being unable to do it and choosing not to do it are two completely different matters. Considering that one day he might experience a change in taste and wonder what this white-bearded priest, an Empire Elder-level Awakened involved with the Imperial Elder Council, usually does.

After all, as someone involved in writing the Limitless Universe Skill, it's reasonable to have curiosity about the daily life of an Empire Elder-level Awakened, isn't it? Well, maybe.

But frankly, as a fellow Fifth Tier Awakened, Zhang Yanhang preferred the idea of scanning the daily activities of the group leader during his usual idle times.

Considering the choice between a pretty girl and an old codger isn't an arduous dilemma.

Speaking of writing cultivation techniques, Zhang Yanhang suddenly recalled a certain issue, "Since the highest among Empire Awakeners is only up to the Sixth Tier, and my advancement speed far exceeds that of ordinary Awakeners, what if when I want to advance to the Seventh Tier, the Seventh Tier Limitless Universe Skill hasn't even been written yet?"

Zhang Yanhang believes this scenario is very likely, nearly certain to happen.

"But considering I've never needed to learn the cultivation technique to enhance my previous Limitless Universe Skill, perhaps the subsequent Sixth Tier and even Seventh Tier Limitless Universe Skill's Multiple Choice can also appear out of nowhere?"

Zhang Yanhang feels the probability of this happening is indeed considerable, though his current rank's strength might not allow for much success in such matters, but once his rank advances and the intensity of his Multiple Choice ability gains more, the completion of such things should become not too challenging, as the Multiple Choice excels at creating something from nothing.
