A Night of Desperation-Chapter 536: Experience 534 II

“By the way, if you’re idle here, you can go to the edge buffer zone and use the monsters outside for practice. The vitality here is immensely rich;the monsters are all in Immortal bodies, and you can only temporarily destroy them by killing their spiritual consciousness. But it’s only temporary;their bodies quickly regenerate new consciousness, taking over the body and reviving again.” Hei Ying mentioned.

“Understood!” Yu Hong nodded.

“Alright, you can explore any other trivial things by yourself. Quan He, let’s go. You can’t stay here for long.” Hei Ying pulled Quan He and stepped back into the green passage behind them, and the two figures disappeared in an instant.

“Be careful here. Although you can practice actual combat, the monsters outside are not as strong as those from other Star Disasters, but occasionally, some freaks show up. If you sense something wrong, retreat to the safe zone immediately!” Bai Sheng advised.

“What’s the strongest monster encountered by brother here?” Yu Hong asked about the upper limit first.

“The strongest monster encountered around here required a Nascent Soul Late Stage expert to resolve it.” Bai Sheng replied, “Compared to other Star Disasters and the wild monsters wandering at night outside, the biggest characteristic of these monsters here is their flesh and blood!”

“Flesh and blood?” Yu Hong seemed to think of something.

“Just as you thought, if the wandering monsters outside are categorized into Ordinary, Transcendent, and Immortal levels by energy level, then the monsters here are primarily strong in their physique—strength, speed, defense, growth, biological toxicity—you know the deal.” Bai Sheng said solemnly. “If you’re not careful while dealing with them, you might get injured before you have a chance to use any technique.”

“The body, huh? I understand!” Yu Hong nodded. He remembered that ordinary energy mainly involved conventional physical attacks, including most thermal weapons and heat attacks below three thousand degrees, all counted as ordinary.

Transcendent refers to attacks above three thousand degrees and many energy attacks with special properties or spiritual attacks. This stage is generally mastered during Qi Cultivation to the late Foundation Establishment stage with True Yuan characteristics.

Immortal encompasses everything with immortal nature, which can completely suppress all energies below immortal, consuming them and enhancing itself.

This is the power mastered from Golden Core to Nascent Soul.

As for the ‘infectious’ level, according to Master Yu Xuezi, this is the power trait mastered from Divinity Transformation to Ascension. The difference lies in the speed, range, and duration of infection in different realms.

A Great Cultivator in the Ascension Realm can infect an entire planet with a single drop of mana. At full power, they can destroy all areas within a Constant Star System in an instant. This terrifying spreading power is the fundamental ability for becoming a cultivator of the starry sky, leaving behind the planets.

If your mana’s infectious trait is insufficient or too slow, trying to attack an opponent in the starry sky is merely a pipedream.

Others can slap you from a few billion kilometers away, while to retaliate, you’d have to fly for a few hundred to a few thousand years…what’s the point?

As for the further fairyland, it’s where the higher level of immortal power, Unity of Heaven and Man, is mastered.

In a sense, energy level is actually a universal evaluation method used by any cultivation power system.

No matter what system you belong to, the difference in energy level generally determines the strength. Because these represent major stage differences.

“Alright then, I’ll leave first. You try it yourself.”

After explaining, Bai Sheng apparently had his affairs to attend to. He said his farewells and turned back into the passage, disappearing.

Yu Hong stood alone, glancing around.

He simply sat down cross-legged, focused on the golden crack overhead, and began cultivation with closed eyes.

Hiss…

Instantly, faint translucent smoke was drawn from the surface of the giant green grass surrounding him and entered his body.

That was the vitality of the grass.

Countless brown seeds floating in the air also released their vitality, which flowed into Yu Hong’s body.

Upon absorbing this, he immediately sensed a huge difference.

The concentration of vitality here was countless times more intense than what he’d absorbed at the Well of Life’s entrance.

After two hours, Yu Hong left through the green passage, his late-stage Foundation Establishment base completely filled with True Yuan converted from a vast amount of vitality.

While outside, it would take at least three days.

He stood at the entrance of the Life Well passage, watching the green vine passage rapidly wither, turn black, crumble, and fall to the ground.

Quickly, he covered the well cap.

Only then did Yu Hong notice that the sky outside had already darkened.

The surrounding forest was deep and eerie, with faint shadows beginning to flash into existence.

He was about to Instantaneously Move back to the safe house, but in the next moment, he stopped.

Having just broken through, he also wanted to test the current gap between himself and these former Wanxue Palace disciples.

Yu Hong slowly moved to the left, targeting a shadow in the forest and walking towards it.

With steps of ten meters each, he reached the opponent’s side in three steps.

Swish!

This was a typical Sword Cultivation Monster clad in a white robe, with bluish skin.

Upon seeing Yu Hong, it instantly drew its sword and thrust it forward.

Clink.

Yu Hong grabbed the sword tip single-handedly and pulled it outward.

The long sword flew out of its hand and landed in his grip.

Swipe.

The sword flashed, and the Sword Cultivation Monster tried to raise its hand to block, but to no avail.

In the next moment, its entire body was split in half, thoroughly divided into two pieces.

“Too weak!”

He continued moving further away.

Swish! Another sword flash came from the left side, moving extremely fast.

Black energy of Immortal Realm was entwined on this sword, indicating that the opponent was an expert.

Yu Hong also used the Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill, gray smoke-like Inner Strength coated the blade, and met the opponent’s strike.

Clang!!

The opponent’s long sword flew out of their hand, swept away by the huge force, and landed in the distant darkness.

The Immortal Energy started devouring the gray Inner Strength of the Chaotic God Sky Eye, but the pace was slow, not enough to exert power.

The Sword Cultivator let out a low growl and unexpectedly charged at Yu Hong.

This charge was not only entangled with Immortal Energy but also seemed to follow some pattern, clearly a Martial Art as well.

As it neared, the Sword Cultivator brought its right hand together into a sword-finger, using its hand as a sword, barely missing a stab at Yu Hong’s left eye due to its speed.

Simultaneously, a green light flew from its back, silently launching a surprise attack towards Yu Hong’s rear head.

This flying sword green light, which once made Yu Hong’s reaction impossible, was now extraordinarily clear upon seeing again.

He brandished his sword, gathering full power, and casually tapped.

Clang!

Immediately, the flying sword green light was flicked away by the sword tip.

At the same time, his right leg kicked, precisely targeting the oncoming Sword Cultivation Monster, kicking it far away.

Yu Hong finally tossed the long sword in his hand lightly.

Swish, the sword blade shot out, instantly hitting the Sword Cultivation Monster in the air’s brow, pierced through it.

Poof.

While still in mid-air, the Sword Cultivation Monster exploded into a cloud of black smoke, disappearing without a trace.

“The flying sword that was hard to respond to before is now nothing. It seems my speed has improved quite a bit.” Yu Hong clapped his hands satisfactorily.

He glanced at the other approaching Sword Cultivation Monsters around.

He thought for a second;nowadays, his most advantageous point is the various Martial Arts based on the Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill.

The Qingyuan Heavenly River Miao Technique is strong, but he didn’t actually cultivate any matching powerful martial techniques. Just trained this main method as a foundation.

Originally, he used the Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill for offense and the Qingwei Heart Technique for defense and escape;however, the Chaotic God Sky Eye hasn’t reached Perfection, and the Qingwei Heart Technique is still on hold. Hence, the entire system hasn’t fully formed yet.

Yu Hong just practiced a bit and retreated backward, not venturing further.

But just as he prepared to Instantaneously Move away,

A sharp, cold killing intent was locked on him from behind, interrupting his ability.

The space around him subtly rippled, stirred by the massive Immortal Energy accompanying the opponent’s killing intent.

Yu Hong narrowed his eyes, slowly turned around, and looked behind him.

About ten meters away behind him in the forest stood a white-robed Sword Cultivator, whose face was covered in black spots, holding a Black Sword.

The opponent’s complexion was still an iron blue color, clearly not alive. It was the same type of Sword Cultivation Monster.

However, this one was distinctly different from those before.

Yu Hong’s gaze fell on the black smoke energy at the end of the opponent’s Black Sword.

The spatial fluctuations caused by the Immortal Energy there far exceeded those of the previous Sword Cultivation Monsters.

It gave him the impression of having a bit of his senior sister Hei Ying’s aura.

Calming his mind, Yu Hong quietly watched the opponent.

The surrounding was silent, death still.

Though the Well of Life was just beside them, the green mist released from its crevices wasn’t approaching due to being tainted by the black smoke energy escaping from the Sword Cultivation Monster, swiftly vanishing.

Yu Hong squinted;his Tai Ling Skill’s Inner Strength belonged to the Immortal Level, but since Tai Ling Skill was sealed, his Qingyuan Heavenly River Miao Method True Qi still belonged to Transcendent Energy Level, making a pure power struggle impossible for him to win.

So, he had to rely on other Secret Techniques, methods….

Traits and rare skills were his keys to victory.

With a thought, Yu Hong took the initiative.

His right eye’s eye-patch was instantly pierced by a ray of purple light.

The purple light encircled colorful dots of light and shot forward with lightning speed, as fast as a bolt of lightning, targeting the opponent’s forehead.

This was the Eye of Destruction ability. It was also his first time using the Immortal General Heavenly Eye after evolving from the Outer Eye.

Unlike others, the superpower of the Outer Eye was a unique ability method belonging solely to itself, uninfluenced by the Qingyuan Heavenly River Miao Technique. It solely depended on Yu Hong’s Spirit.

In other words, even if his power disappeared now, the Eye of Transmission and the Eye of Destruction from the Outer Eye could still be used.

That’s why it’s called the innate superpower.

It’s just that Yu Hong used a Black Mark to attach it to the Outer Eye, making it supposedly innate.

Puff!

The purple light was extremely fast;even the opponent couldn’t dodge it, getting hit on the spot.

Yet, the purple light only made a small dent in the Sword Cultivator’s forehead, soon blocked by the subsequent surging black mist.

The Sword Cultivator retreated two steps, the Black Sword in his hand vanished silently, and his arm transformed into nothingness along with it.

This was due to such rapid speed, causing a bizarre scenario where the visual couldn’t keep up.

This moment, Yu Hong was intensely shaken. His eyesight now was no ordinary cultivator’s, and despite his powerful eyesight, he couldn’t clearly see the opponent’s sword-drawing speed.

It had evidently surpassed his maximum handling capacity by far.

Immediately, he swiftly retreated.

At this time, the Water Instrument Ball bestowed by his master suddenly emitted a touch of blue light. Subtle runes flashed by.

Clang!

A pitch-black sword blade materialized in front of Yu Hong out of thin air.

Clutched by the Sword Cultivator, it was firmly blocked by a thin blue light.

Seizing this gap, Yu Hong quickly retreated, gaining distance. Sensing the Sword Cultivator across paused inexplicably, he hastily triggered Instantaneous Movement in his mind.

Swish!

The next second, he was at the doorstep of the safe house, quickly pushing the door open and entering.

“Impressive!!” He hadn’t expected that the life-saving Water Instrument Ball given by his master would eventually be activated.

The Water Instrument Ball is renowned for being able to teleport someone back at any time, anywhere, and also serves the temporary life-saving function.

This is also the fundamental reason Yu Hong dared to be a bit rash.

Reviewing the previous combat scenario.

He was more eager for the completion of Qingwei Heart Technique;currently, his method is merely exchanging injuries to win. Against higher levels, he is easily defeated.

“Still too weak, although, that Black Sword….I haven’t seen it around before, should be one of the stronger monster Sword Cultivators. I could ask my master about it later. Immortal Realm’s power, at the minimum, is the Golden Core Realm. I, being in the Foundation Establishment Stage, was battling a Golden Core-level monster, truly a bit

He used to read novels where geniuses could fight higher levels, but experiencing it personally, leveling up? Easier said than done.

‘The realm is still crucial… breakthroughs, continuous breakthroughs!’ He was about to acquire the three traits of Mortal Martial. Furthermore, the Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill, after Outer Eye evolution, had also given an enhancement in overall body and aptitude.

Now is the perfect time to make another enhancement surge.
