149: The attribute point breaks through ten thousand!

"Why aren't these spiritual entities afraid of the flames emitted by the Fire Array?"

"This is a flame gathered from the purest fire elements between heaven and earth..."

"Didn't the intelligence say that spiritual entities fear such flames the most? Why..."

Looking at the spiritual entities approaching step by step, everyone was extremely shocked; they clearly hadn't expected to encounter this situation.

"This Aura... it's too terrifying!"

Gu Shuiyue's expression turned grim.

In her perception, each of the several spiritual entities gradually drawing near was stronger than the Beast-shaped Spiritual Entity they had encountered in the Stone Forest before.

In other words, these spiritual entities could at least unleash the strength of the Transcendent Seventh Level!

"It's that one..." Wang Yang's face turned pale as he stared intently at one of the spiritual entities.

Curious, Gu Shuiyue followed his gaze.

It was a Spiritual Entity with a dark purple ghostly glow all over its body, its appearance similar to a wolf.

Seeing this, Gu Shuiyue immediately guessed: "Is that the Spiritual Entity Senior Brother encountered before?"

Wang Yang nodded solemnly: "That's the one. Its strength is roughly at the Transcendent Seventh Level..."

Hearing this, Gu Shuiyue gasped.

"I hope they fear the Array Patterns flames and don't dare to actually attack us..."

"I hope so..." Wang Yang sighed in his heart, feeling pessimistic.

Currently, a total of five spiritual entities were walking toward them, and the strength of each one was no worse than that Wolf-shaped Spiritual Entity with a Transcendent Seventh Level cultivation.

If these spiritual entities could overcome their fear of the Array Patterns flames, then more than half of them would likely die, or they might even be completely wiped out.

"Eh, why is Junior Brother Mo still studying the city gate outer array?" Gu Shuiyue asked in surprise, glancing in Mo Fan's direction.

"Let him study it. In this situation, perhaps the city is safer. It would be good if he could break the Magic Array and enter the city," Wang Yang said.

"Mhm." Gu Shuiyue nodded and said no more.

"It's coming, it's coming! It has entered the range covered by the Array Patterns flames!"

Just then, someone cried out in terror, looking in disbelief at the Spiritual Entity slowly walking into the area covered by the Array Patterns flames.

It was a massive Humanoid Spiritual Entity, about three meters tall, with a jet-black glow all over its body, emitting a terrifyingly cold Aura.

"How... how is this possible? They seem to be adapting to the Array Patterns flames!"

Someone gasped, noticing that the other spiritual entities were also quickly converging and stepping into the range of the Array Patterns flames.

Shh shh shh!

Several powerful spiritual entities, carrying an unparalleled sense of pressure, slowly walked toward the trembling crowd.

"As Martial Artists, how can we be cowardly?!"

"The more cowardly you are! The more afraid you are! The faster you die! Fight... with me!"

At the critical moment, Wang Yang stepped forward.

He pulled out a long spear that glowed with a crimson light and slammed it fiercely into the ground.

With a crack, the ground split like a spider web, fire elements converged, and in an instant, crimson flames steamed up.

As a member of Cangyan Peak, Wang Yang's control over fire was naturally not weak; he had already comprehended the Fire-attribute Concept and could communicate with the fire elements hidden between heaven and earth.

With the enhancement of fire elements, his combat power would increase several-fold.

Feeling the domineering and peerless Aura on Wang Yang, the several spiritual entities were momentarily stunned, actually showing a hint of fear.

That was the spiritual entities' instinctive fear of fire-attribute elements.

"Fight, fight, fight! Killing one is enough to break even! Killing a pair is a huge profit!"

The others were instantly infected by Wang Yang's spirit, their bloodthirst ignited, and they immediately charged at the several spiritual entities.

After all, they were elites of Yuxu Academy and had faced demons more than once.

Once they pulled themselves together, they could unleash terrifying combat power.

Four or five people besieged a single Spiritual Entity.

Coupled with the suppression from the Array Patterns flames, the spiritual entities' strength could not be fully exerted.

In just a moment, the spiritual entities were beaten into submission.

"Overlord Flame Spear!"

Wang Yang shouted loudly, holding his spear as an endless crimson whirlwind rose around him.

His eyes were blood-red, and his whole body erupted with a domineering and peerless Aura, like a Chaos Demon God who could hold the sun and moon in his hands.

"Die!"

With one sweep of his spear, dozens of spear glows converged into a sheet of white light, like a sun exploding, as if it would tear heaven and earth apart.

"Awooo!"

The Wolf-shaped Spiritual Entity was struck by the spear glow, half its body exploding. It let out a miserable cry, stumbled into the Array Patterns flames, burned violently, and instantly turned into wisps of black smoke, dissipating into the world.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Seeing Wang Yang completely destroy a Spiritual Entity, the crowd's blood boiled, and they erupted with two hundred percent of their strength.

In just a few minutes, the several spiritual entities were all dead.

However, before the crowd could celebrate, their expressions changed drastically.

Not far away, another fifteen to twenty spiritual entities quietly appeared, crossing through the night and stepping into the Array Patterns flames, pressing toward the crowd.

"This—"

Everyone's faces turned pale instantly.

Dealing with a few spiritual entities was already strenuous.

Now there were nearly twenty... but soon, their expressions changed again.

Further away, many more spiritual entities were surrounding them one after another, and none of their Auras were weak.

Seeing this, everyone swallowed hard, their faces pale to the extreme.

"Did we stumble into a nest of spiritual entities?"

"W-what should we do?" Everyone looked toward Wang Yang.

At this moment, Wang Yang's hands were gripping his spear so tightly that his knuckles had turned white.

There were traces of blood at the corners of his mouth, and despair appeared on his face.

In this situation, they were likely to be completely wiped out... However, just then, the city gate suddenly burst with bursts of green light. Amidst the flickering rune markings, with a creak, the heavy city gate slowly moved, opening a crack.

Mo Fan's voice rang out:

"I have cracked the city gate Array Patterns; it might be safer inside the city.

"Of course, it could also be more dangerous.

"Those willing to take a gamble, follow me in.

"Those unwilling can stay here and continue fighting the spiritual entities.

"Think it over carefully. You have at most one minute before the city gate closes again. You decide!"

After saying that, Mo Fan's figure flashed as he rushed into the city.

Immediately following him, a red figure also quickly rushed into the city, trailing right behind Mo Fan.

It was Yang Yi.

After a moment of stunned silence, the crowd looked at the increasing number of spiritual entities, then at the rapidly closing city gate, and finally grit their teeth and rushed toward the city.

Instead of staying outside to wait for death, it was better to enter the city to seek a slim chance of survival!

No matter what demons or monsters were inside the city, in this situation, it was worth the risk!

...The city was brightly lit, as if it were day.

On both sides of the street were well-arranged houses.

Although it was as deathly silent as outside the city, with no living creatures to be seen.

But the buildings in the city didn't appear dilapidated; they looked spotless, as if someone had lived there just yesterday.

As soon as he passed through the city gate, Mo Fan sensed a dense fluctuation of Origin Qi.

"This is a paradise on earth; now I don't have to worry about being sucked dry!"

Taking a deep breath, Mo Fan multi-tasked, operating his Cultivation Technique to absorb the Origin Qi in the air while quickly moving through the streets.

His Mental Energy swept out rapidly, using his Appraisal Technique to investigate the houses one by one.

When he found something good, he would stop, rush into the house, and collect it into his system space.

Of course, his main goal was origin stones.

Sweeping through all the way, Mo Fan didn't know how many streets and alleys he had passed through, finally arriving deep within a complex maze of alleys.

He took a deep breath, and in an instant, he conceived several Array Patterns in his mind and carved them onto tangible objects like the bluestone ground, wall corners, streets, doors, windows, and stone lions.

Mo Fan's figure moved rapidly, and the Array Patterns vanished one by one as they were placed, echoing each other to outline a mysterious Magic Array.

With a whoosh, Mo Fan flashed into an old courtyard, sat down, and began to count his spoils... Meanwhile.

Wearing a red dress and looking cold, Yang Yi carefully searched the streets one by one.

"Strange, I had a lock on that guy's figure before, how did he disappear in the blink of an eye?"

Yang Yi frowned.

She had tracked Mo Fan all the way here for the sake of hunting him.

In her view, she had to kill Mo Fan within the Secret Realm, otherwise there would be endless trouble.

An enemy who could unleash Transcendent combat power while only having a Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivation was simply too terrifying.

With such an enemy around, she couldn't even sleep peacefully.

In fact, back at the city gate, she had wanted to eliminate Mo Fan and Gu Shuiyue regardless of the cost.

Unfortunately, she found that Gu Shuiyue's strength wasn't as severely damaged as she thought.

Furthermore, Mo Fan had directly confronted her, and since she couldn't gauge his true depth for a moment, she could only temporarily suppress the killing intent in her heart.

When she saw Mo Fan be the first to rush through the city gate, Yang Yi knew her opportunity had come.

"He must be nearby. Look more carefully!"

Yang Yi was unwilling to give up and continued to search with focused attention, not letting any corner go... Inside the courtyard, Mo Fan peacefully checked his system space.

Although time was tight and he could only set up some deceptive Magic Arrays with little killing power.

It could still stall for some time, preventing Yang Yi from finding this place for a while.

Mo Fan's mental perception was powerful, so he had naturally noticed that Yang Yi had been following him.

He had intentionally led her here.

"The harvest is decent." Glancing at his system space, Mo Fan smiled.

After spending nearly an hour sweeping through street after street, he had gained quite a bit.

Focusing slightly, Mo Fan took out a palm-sized piece of translucent white jade from the system space.

This thing was called a Jade Slip, and it served the purpose of recording information.

And within this Jade Slip, a Martial Skill named "Wind Riding" was recorded.

This was a top-tier movement technique. Besides greatly increasing speed and agility, when cultivated to the limit, one could even ride the wind; even if one's cultivation hadn't reached Heaven's Mandate, they could fly through the air and soar freely in the sky.

Glancing at the Jade Slip, Mo Fan put it back.

In the current situation, there was no rush to Cultivate Wind Riding.

Focusing his mind, Mo Fan cast an Appraisal Technique on the small pile of origin stones in the system space.

Immediately, the azure virtual panel flashed, and a prompt box sounded.

[Discovered low grade origin stone * 111. Can be absorbed and converted into attribute points. Absorb?]

Mo Fan didn't hesitate and immediately chose to absorb.

In an instant, the origin stones vanished, the azure virtual panel flashed, and Mo Fan's attribute panel automatically popped up.

[Name: Mo Fan]

[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Second Level (+)]

[Cultivation Technique: Innate Art - Foundation Establishment Chapter, Breath Concealment Art, Sword Nurturing Art (Beginner), Purple Jade Turns to Smoke (Second Layer)]

[Martial Skill: Vajra Fist - Foundation Establishment Chapter, Golden Body Art (Second Layer)]

[...] (Click to expand/collapse)

[Available attribute points: 14800]

"Finally surpassed ten thousand!" Mo Fan was delighted.

"How many times can I upgrade with this?"

Taking a deep breath, Mo Fan began to add points to level up.

"As long as my cultivation can reach above the Foundation Establishment Seventh Level, I can easily kill Yang Yi in return!"

(PS: I'm a bit stuck today, so this chapter's word count is a bit low. My state hasn't been great these past two days, the plot isn't exciting, and subscriptions have dropped quite a bit. I'll finish this dungeon as quickly as possible. My apologies—)
