385: Chapter 385 Strength Grows Wildly

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

Boom—!

In Xiao Weiqing's eyes, a large black saber suddenly appeared. Its edge was so sharp that it made even Xiao Weiqing, in his Flame True Body state, feel a stinging pain.

"Illusionary Light!"

With a flash of his figure, Xiao Weiqing appeared a kilometer away.

At the same time...

The Nirvana Warrior lightly tapped its foot on the arena floor.

In the next second...

Before Xiao Weiqing could even steady himself, he felt a crisis approaching from his left and hurriedly raised his saber to block.

Clang!

The violent sound of metal clashing exploded in the center of the arena, making Xiao Weiqing's eardrums sting and his internal organs vibrate as a mouthful of blood surged up his throat.

"Hmm?"

"This... this strength..."

Xiao Weiqing was horrified. This First-Class Nirvana Warrior had injured him with just a single strike.

Two days ago...

Although he couldn't kill a First-Class Nirvana Warrior while in his Flame True Body state, the First-Class Nirvana Warrior couldn't do anything to him either. Xiao Weiqing could use his Movement Technique to play around with it.

But now...

The change in strength was too great; its speed had increased by at least fifty percent.

Its power had also surpassed his own.

"Nirvana Warrior... is this the meaning of Nirvana?"

With every death, its strength would grow stronger.

There was no time for further thought.

The Nirvana Warrior's saber tip tilted slightly, and its entire figure vanished from the spot.

Instantly...

A black shadow appeared in front of Xiao Weiqing. The black-armored Nirvana Warrior's face was contorted and its pupils were bloodthirsty as it stared intently at Xiao Weiqing. This killing intent was very real.

The large black saber tore through the air, cleaving down fiercely.

Just then...

A flash of golden light erupted from within Xiao Weiqing.

In an instant...

A golden world nearly two hundred meters in diameter appeared on the arena.

Within the Domain...

Xiao Weiqing's figure flashed and vanished. A few strands of broken hair floated down where he had been standing, showing just how dangerous the situation had been.

Clang!

The black Nirvana Warrior's saber struck the ground directly, sending sparks flying.

Xiao Weiqing broke out in a cold sweat; he had almost been cleaved to death by that single strike.

"That was close. The speed is too fast."

"Flame Dragon!"

Suddenly...

Two lifelike golden Flame Dragons appeared on either side of the Nirvana Warrior within the Domain.

Roar!

One on the left and one on the right, the two Flame Dragons simultaneously opened their mouths to bite the Nirvana Warrior's arms while their dragon claws gripped its legs, rendering it unable to move.

"Go to hell!"

Xiao Weiqing rose high into the air. In the next second, a golden god of war appeared in mid-air, holding ten thousand calamities with both hands and suddenly cleaving down.

Boom!

This Nirvana Warrior was split in two. The powerful energy wave caused the Nirvana Warrior's body to crack apart.

"I was a bit careless."

Xiao Weiqing reflected on the battle just now. Since entering the ruins, he had defeated third class and Second-Class Nirvana Warriors without any effort.

Relying on ten thousand calamities, he had easily killed one Nirvana Warrior, and then used his Domain to slaughter the remaining nine First-Class Nirvana Warriors.

He hadn't expected the black-armored warrior, after undergoing Nirvana, to teach him a lesson.

A Domain was not omnipotent.

If someone's speed exceeded his reaction time, he would still be heavily injured or even killed.

Ultimately...

His current body was not a Divine Body. His physical strength, speed, and reactions still had limits.

"That Nirvana Warrior just now definitely had a speed exceeding two thousand meters per second," Xiao Weiqing guessed. It might even have touched upon the Ninth Realm.

Be careful, be careful, and be even more careful!

Xiao Weiqing cautioned himself internally. On Blue Star, he wouldn't dare say he was invincible, but it was almost impossible for anyone to kill him.

But in the Civilization Ruins, he was just a slightly older child; everything followed the rules of the ruins.

According to the Universe's power classification, he was only at the third stage of strength. At best, he could be considered a top-tier third-stage, but he still wasn't a fourth-stage, let alone anything higher.

"Go back and continue to Cultivate."

Xiao Weiqing felt an even greater urgency to activate his Divine Body.

...

Inside the hall.

Lou Xiaoxing paced back and forth at the entrance.

"Lou Xiaoxing, you look so nervous."

"How can I not be nervous? Xiao Weiqing has been in there for a while this time. I'm afraid things aren't going smoothly." Lou Xiaoxing's concern was justified. Whether it was for his share of nirvana stones or because they were teammates, he didn't want anything to happen to Xiao Weiqing.

Yin Wenzheng nodded slightly. He also didn't want anything to happen to Xiao Weiqing. Even if they couldn't challenge First-Class Nirvana Warriors from now on, he could accept it. They could still kill Second-Class Nirvana Warriors, not to mention third class ones.

They had only been in the No. 9 Civilization Ruins for a few days, but their gains far exceeded their previous experiences.

The Vermilion Bird Empire would get eighty percent of these gains, so Yin Wenzheng had nothing to be dissatisfied about.

"The light is green."

Tian Zhenzhen said.

Sure enough.

The third door opened.

Xiao Weiqing walked out from inside, dragging the two halves of the black Nirvana Warrior.

"Are you okay?" Lou Xiaoxing looked Xiao Weiqing up and down and asked.

"I'm fine."

"That's good. Was there any change with the First-Class Nirvana Warrior?"

Seeing that Xiao Weiqing had only killed one Nirvana Warrior, the three of them guessed there must be a reason and all wanted to know about the changes inside.

Xiao Weiqing thought for a few seconds to organize his words and said, "This Nirvana Warrior is the one I killed the day before yesterday. I couldn't challenge it yesterday. It seems that once a First-Class Nirvana Warrior is killed, there's a one-day wait before it can be challenged again."

"In other words, the nine Nirvana Warriors you killed yesterday can only be challenged tomorrow. Is that right?"

"Most likely," Xiao Weiqing nodded.

"What about its strength? Has it changed?" Lou Xiaoxing asked the question he cared about most.

Xiao Weiqing's expression became serious. "Yes."

"It's become stronger. I estimate its strength increased by fifty percent."

"How much?"

"Fifty percent?!!" Lou Xiaoxing exclaimed.

Yin Wenzheng and Tian Zhenzhen were equally shocked, doubting if they had heard correctly. First-Class Nirvana Warriors were already difficult for them to match, and now their strength had increased? More frighteningly, it had increased by fifty percent.

The two of them had thought that if there were enough time, they could activate their Divine Bodies and enter the Eighth Realm before the ruins closed; then, it wouldn't be impossible to fight a First-Class Nirvana Warrior.

But now...

If it was really as Xiao Weiqing said and the First-Class Nirvana Warrior's strength had increased by fifty percent, they felt they would have to be tired of living to even think about challenging one.

Xiao Weiqing sighed. "That's right, fifty percent, at the very least. Even for me, it's quite difficult to deal with."

Even with ten thousand calamities, without using his Domain, Xiao Weiqing didn't dare say he could kill a current First-Class Nirvana Warrior. Getting injured was highly probable.

Unlike the bodies of the Nirvana Warriors, Xiao Weiqing didn't have a Divine Body. Any injury he sustained wouldn't be minor and could very well be fatal.

Hearing this...

Lou Xiaoxing was completely stunned. Fifty percent—what kind of concept was that? He estimated that even if he entered the Eighth Realm, he might not necessarily win.

Then...

Xiao Weiqing added, "After being killed, the First-Class Nirvana Warrior's strength increased by fifty percent. I just don't know if this Nirvana Warrior's strength will change again the day after tomorrow. If its strength keeps increasing, then the First-Class Nirvana Warriors will be impossible to challenge, and we won't be able to get any more first-grade nirvana stones."

first-grade nirvana stones were Xiao Weiqing's goal. Given the current situation, he had a premonition that the First-Class Nirvana Warrior's strength would likely continue to increase the day after tomorrow.

"It's very possible," Yin Wenzheng nodded.

"You guys go challenge the third class and Second-Class Nirvana Warriors. Find me when you're finished."

Xiao Weiqing placed the Nirvana Warrior's body into the machine and returned to his room.
