It wasn't easy to consolidate one's strength when one had just broken through. It would take a long time to consolidate one's strength.
However, if one broke through two realms consecutively, it would be twice as difficult to consolidate one's strength from the previous realm.
If Kang Shin-mu broke through to level-nine Martial Emperor right away, his combat strength wouldn't increase too much. On the other hand, it would be more difficult for him to consolidate his strength in the future.
After considering this, Kang Shin-mu returned to the Dragon Martial Fortress, the office of Emperor Xi's Dragon Martial Academy. Then, he started to devour the Earth-level Divine Dragon Marrow.
After he devoured the power of the Divine Dragon Marrow and stored it in his Devouring Space, he started to devour a portion of the dragon mark's energy to improve the grade of his inherited Divine Dragon Essence.
Although continuous breakthroughs would greatly affect the speed of consolidation, Kang Shin-mu had to break through now. Only by improving the grade of his inherited Divine Dragon Essence would he be able to stand firm in the arena battles of level-nine Martial Emperor.
He had to at least reach level-six Martial Emperor!
Compared to other level-nine Martial Emperor cultivators, he was a few levels lower in terms of inherited Divine Dragon Essence and a few levels lower in terms of cultivation.
Of course, the Samsara Power that he had condensed had already surpassed those who had never killed a second Samsara Beast.
Therefore, overall, his strength wasn't weak. However, the opponents he had to face were the strongest level-nine Martial Emperor genius powerhouses from the 10 major races. Among these genius powerhouses, there would definitely be many who had condensed Samsara Power.
At least half of them would have defeated a second Samsara Beast. Under such circumstances, the advantages that Kang Shin-mu had seemed very weak. In order to defeat those top-notch opponents, Kang Shin-mu had to improve the grade of his inherited Divine Dragon Essence.
Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't be able to stand firm in the arena.
One-tenth of the Earth-level Divine Dragon Marrow's power was directly devoured by Kang Shin-mu. Then, he used this power to stimulate the Devouring talent in his body, causing all the inherited Divine Dragon Essence in his body to boil.
"Breakthrough to level-six Dragon Emperor!"
Kang Shin-mu's successive breakthroughs didn't increase his strength as much as he had imagined. The main reason was that many of his powers had settled down, and he was temporarily unable to control them.
After he broke through to the sixth level of Dragon Emperor, Kang Shin-mu made a rough estimate based on the amount of power he could now control in his body. Very quickly, he discovered that if he wanted to consolidate the majority of the increase in power he had gained this time, it would take at least a month or two!
Of course, this was not a complete consolidation, but only a large part of it. Consolidating 80% of it would take one or two months.
This was because he had made consecutive breakthroughs, causing the difficulty of consolidating his previous strength to increase. This caused some of his strength to sink deeper, making it very difficult for him to consolidate it.
"In such a short period of time, he advanced from the fourth level of the Dragon Emperor and the sixth level of the Reincarnation Tribulations Realm to the sixth level of the Dragon Emperor and the seventh level of the Reincarnation Tribulations Realm. Furthermore, he defeated the second Reincarnation Beast and refined the Reincarnation Power!"
"With my current strength, I shouldn't be too far off from an ordinary Level 9 Martial Emperor.
I just don't know what kind of improvements Su Ye has made. "
Kang Shin-mu was very curious now. He was so curious that he wanted to secretly inquire about it. Unfortunately, he suppressed his desire in the end.
No matter what level Su Ye had reached, he would know when the arena battles started. There was no need for him to go out and inquire about it now!
This would have a bad influence on him.
Kang Shin-mu really didn't want others to suspect his relationship with the Demon God Race.
Of course, the Demon God Race didn't seem to want to announce the relationship between Kang Shin-mu and Su Yi.
Regarding this, Kang Shin-mu didn't know why, but no matter what, it made sense.
Kang Shin-mu believed that this was definitely something that was beneficial to the Demon God Race.
He wondered how Su Yi was doing now.
Kang Shin-mu hadn't seen Su Yi for a long time. Unknowingly, he actually missed her a little … After all, Su Yi had some fate with him. This fate had made the two of them worry about each other.
"I still have to wait until I become stronger and explore the mid-level ruins … Only after I understand the general situation of the Chaos Battlefield can I find the people of the Demon God Race and find Su Yi!"
Kang Shin-mu thought to himself.
Now that his strength as a Dragon Warrior was rapidly increasing, his Demon God Race inheritance and Void inheritance were somewhat unable to keep up with his battle strength. Of course, his cultivation realm was useful in all aspects of inheritance.
Now that he had broken through to the seventh level of the Rebirth Tribulation Realm, his Demon God Race inheritance and Void inheritance would both increase correspondingly.
However, he had only just reached the Emperor level in these two aspects. If he wanted to improve further, he couldn't do it in a short period of time.
Kang Shin-mu didn't have the ambition to unify the Dragon God Race and the Demon God Race. Anyway, there was no hatred between the Dragon God Race and the Demon God Race, so he still had to find a way to get a chance to coexist between the Dragon God Race and the Demon God Race.
"As long as I'm strong enough and show enough talent, I'll be more useful to both races."
"The easiest way is to explore mid-level ruins!"
If he wanted to explore mid-level ruins, Kang Shin-mu's opponents would be at the ninth level of the Emperor level. If he could achieve something in this arena battle, he only needed to be in the top 16.
That way, Kang Shin-mu would be qualified to explore mid-level ruins and gain some benefits. Of course, with such strength, he wouldn't be able to dominate everything in the mid-level ruins.
If he went with Gu Xinyue, he might have to ride on her coattails.
Kang Shin-mu shook his head.
He still had to improve himself as soon as possible!
In this arena battle, there would be enough opponents. Devouring their time energy would help him consolidate his strength faster!
Kang Shin-mu thought to himself. Finally, when the ninth level of the Emperor level arena battle began, he reappeared in the spectator stands around the 16 arenas!
Jiang Shenwu, who had reappeared, had a much stronger aura than before. Many unparalleled experts, as well as many existences of the Super Mystical Dragon level, could tell at a glance that the current Jiang Shenwu was several times stronger than a day ago.
His cultivation realm had broken through by one level. It seemed that he had defeated two Reincarnation Behemoths.
