40: Advanced Immaculate

The distance was too close; Xun Xiuyuan had nowhere to dodge.

He glanced at his panel.

He was only a few hundred thousand exotic beast value away from breaking through to the Immaculate Realm.

He no longer cared about the attack above his head; his speed wasn't as fast as those in the Immaculate Realm, so running away was impossible.

Looking at the exotic beast value that was just a little short, Xun Xiuyuan unhesitatingly used Heaven Piercing Slash, draining and then restoring his vital energy.

Heaven Piercing Slash was swiftly swung horizontally. The target of this slash was not the two Immaculate Shadow Demons, but rather the surrounding wall of Shadow Demons.

Heaven Piercing Slash was a powerful move that burned vital energy, capable of cross-rank killing under normal circumstances. However, Xun Xiuyuan didn't dare to gamble that one slash could kill an Immaculate.

Facts proved that Xun Xiuyuan's choice was correct; the blade aura directly rushed into the surrounding exotic beasts.

A group of seventh-tier Shadow Demons died.

In an instant, a massive energy surged into Xun Xiuyuan's body from an unknown place, strengthening his physique, enhancing his perception, strength, speed, and so on.

He had advanced; he had reached the Immaculate Realm. He immediately felt his affinity for the power of heaven and earth increase, making it much easier to draw upon it for combat.

At this moment, the attack from the Immaculate Shadow Demon above struck Xun Xiuyuan's body. Due to Xun Xiuyuan's realm advancement, the defensive power of Copper Wall Iron Barrier rose accordingly.

The original attacks from the two Shadow Demons would have made Xun Xiuyuan vomit blood, but now they only made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Although his physical body was much stronger, his mental power had not increased. His control over the power of heaven and earth on the battlefield had not grown much.

But it was enough. Xun Xiuyuan truly no longer paid attention to the attacks above his head. His speed had greatly increased after advancing, and he once again rushed towards the surrounding seventh and eighth-tier Shadow Demons.

The two Immaculate Shadow Demons attacked frantically from above, but it was of little use. The seventh and eighth-tier Shadow Demons on the ground were already few in number under Xun Xiuyuan's frenzied attacks.

Yes, in just a moment, Xun Xiuyuan, relying on his speed advantage, frantically slaughtered the seventh-tier Shadow Demons. The remaining eighth-tier Shadow Demons had already flown away.

After attacking for a long time, the two Immaculate Shadow Demons helplessly realized that they couldn't do anything to Xun Xiuyuan. They could only let out a series of "squeaking" sounds and retreated towards the main camp.

Xun Xiuyuan did not pursue. He took out a spatial ring and collected all the Shadow Demon corpses on the ground. He could exchange them for military merits or soul stones when he returned.

This battle made Xun Xiuyuan realize that mental power was more important than realm. If his mental power reached ten thousand, he could directly sweep up all usable power of heaven and earth in this place, leaving the enemies with no power of heaven and earth to wield, thus making him invincible.

He couldn't kill those two Immaculate Shadow Demons because they controlled most of the power of heaven and earth on the battlefield. During his fight with them, the power of his blade technique became weaker and weaker.

After clearing the battlefield, Xun Xiuyuan chose a direction and flew away.

The two Immaculate Shadow Demons flew back to the main camp and immediately entered a large building in the middle of the camp, which looked like a crude, super-sized yurt.

Inside the yurt, two Shadow Demons sat at the head, looking at the two Immaculate Shadow Demons who had entered.

The two Immaculate Shadow Demons immediately reported with "squeaking" sounds. After reporting, the leader above waved his hand, and the two Immaculate Shadow Demons retreated.

The two Shadow Demons on the seats began to converse, surprisingly speaking human language.

"Mu Li, that should be the human Mu Kun-daren asked us to find. Should we report it?"

"Mu Yu, Mu Kun-daren values that human so much, he must be very important. Why don't the two of us capture him and present him to Mu Kun-daren? This way, our merit will surely be greater. We've been in the rear all this time, it's too hard to gain merit."

"What you said makes sense. You are indeed clever. I should learn from you and read more human books."

"Hahaha, I'll lend you a few later."

"Alright, good. Let's go find that human first, and bring your exotic rats."

"Hmm, I always have them with me. Don't worry, that human won't escape."

Xun Xiuyuan found a massive giant tree. The tree hole was very warm and well-hidden.

He opened his panel again.

host: Xun Xiuyuan

Age: 16

Realm: Ninth-grade Immaculate Realm (132,660,000 / 1,000,000,000)

Mental Power: 1020+

Martial Arts: Berserk Blade Technique (Consummate), Mystic Steps (Consummate), Explosive Ignition Art (This skill cannot be upgraded), Heaven Piercing Slash (This skill cannot be upgraded), Copper Wall Iron Barrier (Consummate), Blood Escape (This skill cannot be upgraded)

Equipment: Dingguang, qianyuan battle armor, wuse, hundred battle blade, illusory armor

Lottery Draws: 121

Advancing again required one billion exotic beast value. Anyway, before advancing, he needed to max out his mental power, so without much thought, he directly used thirty million exotic beast value to add thirty points to his mental power.

He left two million for emergencies. Now, burning vital energy once required five hundred thousand exotic beast value, which was very expensive.

However, the current Heaven Piercing Slash should be able to kill Immaculate. If he encountered an exotic beast that had just entered Immaculate, he estimated he could still cut them down like chopping vegetables.

He casually clicked on the lottery draw.

Ding dong!

Congratulations, host, you have received 1000 exotic beast value.

Ding dong!

Congratulations, host, you have received special item wind cloud boots x1.

Ding dong!

Congratulations, host, you have received special item void piercing needle x1.

Ding dong!

Congratulations, host, you have received 1000 exotic beast value.

He had just started and already received two special items. Xun Xiuyuan immediately grinned, because the probability of getting top-grade items from the lottery was really low.

wind cloud boots: Special item. Speed doubles when worn.

void piercing needle: Special item. Ignores defense, ignores shields, ignores armor, directly damages the enemy's physical body. Can be reused after recovery. (Each use consumes 1,000,000 exotic beast value.)

Looking at the descriptions of the two special pieces of equipment, Xun Xiuyuan's eyes lit up. One for self-preservation, one for attack, very good.

As for the exotic beast value required for use, he directly filtered it out. If he couldn't win and was about to die, would he still care about exotic beast value? He immediately put the wind cloud boots on his feet.

Seeing that the lottery draws hadn't been used up, he then remembered that he hadn't clicked "draw all" today. Could it be that clicking the lottery draw one by one would increase the probability of rare rewards appearing?

Subsequently, Xun Xiuyuan clicked over a hundred times, and not a single rare piece of equipment appeared.

It seemed that it had nothing to do with the clicking method.

Just as he was about to rest, a sudden inexplicable feeling of vexation arose in his heart. Xun Xiuyuan was startled, knowing that something must have happened.

Xun Xiuyuan quickly rushed out of the tree hole. The moment he exited the tree hole, a massive vital energy fist directly slammed into the giant tree, the attack missing Xun Xiuyuan's body by a hair's breadth.

The giant tree instantly turned into fragments, with debris scattering everywhere.

Xun Xiuyuan was impacted by the aftershock, making his speed of exiting the hole slightly faster.

"Very quick reaction, oh!" Mu Li chuckled softly.

The one who attacked was Mu Yu. Feeling Xun Xiuyuan's escape, he immediately gave chase. He had tried to ambush an Immaculate and failed, which made him feel very humiliated.

Mu Li also followed.
