The pill furnace began to condense the Great Desolate Pill on its own, while Lu Ming took out more than twenty storage rings.
These twenty over storage rings were naturally obtained from the three major races.
Lu Ming checked the storage rings one by one.
He only had three targets.
One was a pill furnace, one was a Great Desolate Pill, and one was a weapon from the Taishang Immortal City.
After all, only these three things were useful to him now.
As for the other miscellaneous things, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them.
It didn't take long for them to finish checking the storage rings.
Lu Ming was slightly disappointed.
He found two pill furnaces.
He found a few weapons.
As for the Great Desolate Pill, he didn't find a single one.
Obviously, the Great Desolate Pill was a consumable item. Once others condensed it, they would refine it and use it to increase their cultivation. Naturally, there wouldn't be anything left.
As for the two pill furnaces, they were also of the lowest level. They were about the same size as the three that Lu Ming had obtained, and their diameters were only one meter.
However, it was not bad to have two more pill furnaces. Lu Ming activated the two pill furnaces and began to condense the Great Desolate Pill.
Half a day later …
"The pills are coming out!"
Lu Ming's eyes moved. The three pill furnaces from before emitted a slight buzzing sound, and then pills flew out from the exit below.
Each pill furnace had twelve pills, and they were the Great Desolate Pill.
Lu Ming grabbed at the air with his hand, and a suction force was generated, attracting the thirty-six Great Desolate Pills over, and they floated in front of Lu Ming.
The Great Desolate Pill wasn't big, only the size of a finger, but it emitted a mysterious aura.
"Let's give it a try!"
Lu Ming put away the other Great Desolate Pills, leaving only one and swallowing it.
As soon as the Great Desolate Pill entered his mouth, it immediately melted and turned into a pure energy that flowed into Lu Ming's body.
Lu Ming circulated the taboo power and absorbed this energy into every cell. In almost two breaths of time, this energy was completely refined and turned into taboo power.
Lu Ming clearly felt that his cultivation had improved a little. Although it was not much, it was very obvious.
After all, Lu Ming was now in the God Emperor Realm. The amount of energy he needed to raise his cultivation level was shockingly high. If he cultivated normally, he would need a very long time to accumulate energy.
But after refining the Great Desolate Pill, his strength had increased a little.
Even though there was still a long way to go before he could make a breakthrough, it was still no small matter.
"Looks like there's no need to refine the Great Desolation Pills one by one. What a waste of time!"
Lu Ming muttered. Then, he took out the remaining thirty-five Great Desolation Pills and swallowed them all in one go.
Not long after, he had refined all thirty-five Desolation Pills. Lu Ming could feel that his cultivation level had increased by a notch.
After refining, Lu Ming waited quietly.
Lu Ming found that the pill furnace could refine a batch of Great Desolate Pills in about half a day. A batch of Great Desolate Pills had twelve pills, so he could refine twenty-four pills a day.
With five pill furnaces, he could refine 120 pills a day.
In ten days, that would be 1,200.
This speed was already very fast.
Lu Ming waited patiently. While waiting, he also comprehended secret techniques.
He still had fifteen thousand ordinary secret techniques that he hadn't comprehended yet.
Lu Ming comprehended ordinary secret techniques very quickly. Very quickly, a secret technique of the Nine Netherworlds turned into a secret talisman and was absorbed by Lu Ming, fusing with his cells.
One after another, ordinary secret techniques turned into secret talisman and fused with his cells.
Lu Ming only stopped to collect the Desolate Elixir when the elixir was produced.
Lu Ming wasn't in a hurry to refine the Great Desolation Pills. After all, refining Great Desolation Pills was very fast. It wouldn't be too late to refine them later.
Lu Ming estimated that he would need at least ten thousand Great Desolation Pills to break through to the third layer of the God Emperor Realm.
Yes, ten thousand Great Desolation Pills.
Other people wouldn't need so much unless they were also heaven-defying geniuses. But he had a Forbidden Body. Every breakthrough required a huge amount of energy.
He might as well wait until he had ten thousand Great Desolation Pills. It wouldn't be too late to refine them later.
Just like that, three months passed. One hundred days.
One hundred days. The five cauldrons had been refining day and night. Finally, twelve thousand Great Desolation Pills were refined.
"I can start breaking through to the third layer of the God Emperor Realm!"
Lu Ming was looking forward to it. Then, he took out the twelve thousand Great Desolation Pills and took a deep breath. One by one, the Great Desolation Pills flew into his mouth.
As soon as the pills entered Lu Ming's mouth, they turned into energy and dispersed into Lu Ming's body.
Bzzz!
Lu Ming revolved his forbidden energy. Every cell in his body trembled and produced a suction force.
His sixty trillion cells were like sixty trillion black holes. They were crazily absorbing the energy of the Great Desolation Pills and then turning it into forbidden energy.
This speed was too fast.
Even though the Great Desolation Pills were very pure and easy to refine, other people's refining speed was definitely much slower than Lu Ming's.
In terms of refining, Lu Ming was much faster than other people. He could save a lot of time.
He had entered the second layer later than other people, so he had to race against time.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Each of Lu Ming's cells seemed to be breathing. The energy of the Great Desolation Pills was unceasingly being absorbed, refined and turned into forbidden energy.
Lu Ming's cultivation level was rising rapidly.
He was approaching the third layer of the God Emperor Realm at an astonishing speed.
In just one hour, Lu Ming's cultivation level had reached the peak of the second layer of the God Emperor Realm.
At that moment, all twelve thousand Great Desolation Pills had been refined by Lu Ming. Lu Ming's body had accumulated a huge amount of energy.
"Break through!"
Shouted Lu Ming. A thread of energy flowed out of each of his cells. Sixty trillion threads of energy condensed into a vast ocean and then started to attack the bottleneck of the third layer of the God Emperor Realm.
That energy was too vast. The bottleneck of the third layer of the God Emperor Realm couldn't stop Lu Ming's attack.
Lu Ming's body shook. His Qi was rising rapidly.
He had broken through to the third layer of the God Emperor Realm!
After another hour, Lu Ming's Qi gradually calmed down.
That boiling energy withdrew into each of his cells and calmed down.
However, Lu Ming knew that his strength had increased by more than ten times.
Indeed, the difference between each layer of the God Emperor Realm was more than ten times.
Lu Ming's fighting strength had also increased dramatically.
When he had been at the second layer of the God Emperor Realm, Lu Ming hadn't been able to defeat Gabbert. Gabbert had the strength of the fifth layer of the God Emperor Realm and had six stars of fighting strength. He was fifteen stars higher than an ordinary cultivator of the second layer of the God Emperor Realm.
As for Lu Ming, he only had twelve-star combat strength. There was a three-star combat strength difference between him and Gabbert.
Now, Lu Ming had broken through to the next layer of the God Emperor Realm.
The first layer of the God Emperor Realm was equivalent to three stars of fighting strength.
In other words, Lu Ming's fighting strength wasn't weaker than Gabbert's.
In addition, during the three months of studying secret techniques, Lu Ming had turned many ordinary secret techniques into secret runes and merged them into his cells. The quality of his forbidden energy had increased again.
Although his fighting strength hadn't reached thirteen stars yet, it should have surpassed Gabbert's.
