Chapter 175

Over the next few days.

Lu Changsheng stayed indoors, staying at home to familiarize himself with various martial arts and divine abilities.

At the same time, the Exotic Beast Clone was still digging hard in the small world.

Although the situation in the outside world was becoming increasingly volatile, by virtue of his position as the General Hall Master, it did not affect him for the time being.

All miscellaneous matters were left to Ye Yiyang to lead several Deputy Hall Masters to solve.

This rare leisurely time passed in the blink of an eye for half a month.

This day, late at night.

The moon shadows were dancing, and the courtyard was silent.

Lu Changsheng lay quietly on a chair, his mind sinking slowly into the body of the pangolin.

"Zzz..."

Looking around, it was still the depths of that familiar cave.

Everywhere was filled with a faint fragrance, the surroundings were dim, and the spiritual Qi was extremely astonishing.

After these days of hard digging, a large amount of Source Crystal Stones had been discovered in this newborn small world.

Not only that, but he also discovered that the closer to the center of the world, the richer the spiritual items were.

The resources contained in a newborn world were immeasurable.

He hadn't even searched one percent of it, and next, he planned to collect with all his might.

Clang, clang, clang...

Lu Changsheng immediately waved his claws and dug crazily toward the front.

The surrounding rocks fell with a crash, and he pushed forward like an unceasing soil-drilling machine.

Half an hour later.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Lu Changsheng suddenly sensed an obstacle coming from the front.

"Could there be a situation?"

His expression moved slightly, and he hurriedly accelerated to push forward.

As the rock wall above his head was dug open by him one after another, he soon arrived under a giant stone wall.

Then he pushed aside the soil layer in front, revealing a smooth stone wall as white as jade.

Wisps of cool feeling emanated from the stone wall.

【Discovered Source Crystal Marrow】

【A crystal stone containing powerful energy, more precious than ordinary crystal stones.】

When Lu Changsheng's claws approached the jade wall, a blue prompt panel suddenly appeared above his head.

"Sure enough, there is a harvest."

"This kind of newborn world is truly extraordinary."

Lu Changsheng was happy in his heart, and then he couldn't wait to start digging.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

His claws danced rapidly in the void, and pieces of Source Crystal Marrow were dug out and placed on the cave floor.

Only the sound of Lu Changsheng's digging remained in the entire cave.

Don't know how long it had been.

The jade wall in front had been hollowed out, and a large amount of crystal stones had appeared behind him, covering the ground.

Even the spiritual Qi in the air had become much richer.

【Discovered Source Crystal Marrow; absorb?】

"Absorb."

Lu Changsheng chanted in his heart.

【Source Energy Points +100.】

【Source Energy Points +100.】

The resources in his hands were rapidly increasing, as if there were no limit.

Soon, the crystal stones on the ground were all absorbed completely.

Open the panel.

Source Energy Points: 52000.

Looking at the huge harvest in front of him, he was quite excited.

This wave directly brought him tens of thousands of resource points.

There must be quite a few more crystal marrows in this world, and if he found some more, it would be enough to make his strength surge.

However, during the digging these days, he could also often hear some beast roars, which made him feel alarmed.

These were clearly all Xiantian creatures, and their strength was extremely strong.

With this exotic beast body, he might not even be a match.

He planned to upgrade the exotic beast first, and then rapidly collect the spiritual items of the entire world.

Clearly, this was the best choice.

And as early as a few months ago, he had relied on massive resources to upgrade to the 7th Tier, reaching the Intermediate Mountain Master level.

The 8th Tier would definitely be a huge leap.

Seeing that the panel had already lit up, Lu Changsheng did not hesitate and immediately clicked on the plus sign behind the level.

As the Source Energy Points decreased by 50,000.

A powerful fluctuation descended into the depths of his mind, and his entire body began to expand violently.

The scales all over his body emitted wisps of radiance, which was extremely miraculous.

At the same time, the Qi and blood in his body were also surging crazily, like a great river roaring.

The weak divine bloodline was also blooming with a trace of golden light, sinking slowly into the depths of his body.

【Intermediate Mountain Master level +1.】

【Intermediate Mountain Master level +1.】

As bursts of prompt sounds rang out, the Mountain Spirit level was crazily improving.

【7th Tier Intermediate Mountain Master promoted to 8th Tier Advanced Mountain Master.】

【Divine bloodline in metamorphosis.】

Not long after, this upgrade officially ended.

Lu Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp glint pierced the void.

He lowered his head to examine his whole body, seeing that his body size had clearly grown by half.

The scales all over his body were tighter, and wisps of golden stripes were spread all over, becoming increasingly magnificent.

His entire body emitted a mysterious power.

This power was clearly emitted unnaturally from his body, belonging to the hidden bloodline power.

Open the panel.

Bound Exotic Beast: Advanced Mountain Master (8th Tier)

Level: 80.

Divine Bloodline: One-tenth.

Bloodline continuing to awaken...

Apart from these changes, other divine ability skills did not change much.

Only the innate divine ability "God-Slaying" had metamorphosed to the 【Perfect】 level.

He waved his claws forcefully, and a powerful force surged through his whole body.

Even in the void, wisps of afterimages appeared, which was extremely terrifying.

After this upgrade, the strength of this Exotic Beast Clone surged.

Even facing some Xiantian powerhouses, he was not afraid in the slightest.

Lu Changsheng guessed that the 8th Tier exotic beast probably reached the Xiantian Late Stage level, and the specific combat power still needed to be verified carefully.

However, it could be determined that in this world, except for some heaven-defying Xiantian creatures, he definitely belonged to the top-tier combat power.

This made him increasingly full of confidence in his next plan.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Afterward, Lu Changsheng dug rapidly toward the front again.

Traveling along the dark tunnel, after several hours, he arrived at the northwest corner of the small world, in an underground space.

"Roar, roar, roar..."

Just at this moment, from the depths of the cave in front, a burst of beast roars suddenly came, deafening.

Immediately afterward, a white figure rushed rapidly toward Lu Changsheng, like a bolt of lightning.

In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Lu Changsheng.

Revealing a three-tailed white fox, its eyes were red, filled with killing intent.

Its aura of evil was quite astonishing, and it also emitted wisps of Xiantian Qi.

"Xiantian creature?"

Lu Changsheng's expression moved slightly.

This beast was clearly bred by the small world, containing a trace of the world's origin power.

Such creatures were heaven-endowed, and their bloodline qualifications were all top-notch.

However, because it was difficult for the other party to leave this world, it could be considered a trade-off.

"Strange intruder, die."

The white fox sent a mental fluctuation, making Lu Changsheng clearly understand the other party's meaning.

While speaking, it suddenly rushed out, carrying infinite killing intent, leaping toward Lu Changsheng's head.

Its claws, hard as iron, also extended in mid-air, emitting a sound of breaking through the air.

With this strike, it wanted to crush the brain of this hateful intruder in front of it.

"Kill."

Lu Changsheng was also not to be outdone, raising his claws and rushing up.

Clawing fiercely toward the white fox.

A huge claw shadow appeared in the cave, and the momentum was astonishing.

Boom, boom, boom...

In an instant, the two sides collided together, and the violent roaring sound rang through the entire arena.

The surrounding force cut, causing the rocks on the rock wall to crack one after another.

"Awoo..."

Under one strike, the white fox screamed, flew backward, and smashed fiercely against the stone wall. Its white fur was already stained with wisps of blood.

Clearly, it had suffered some injuries.

Its eyes were full of fear, knowing that it was not a match for this "alien" in front of it.

So it planned to turn around and run backward.

But before it could react, Lu Changsheng suddenly pressed up.

His claws were like a green dragon exploring the sky, and the momentum was increasingly fierce.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, it had no choice but to rush up with all its might.

The two sides fought fiercely in the depths of the underground, and the entire cave was filled with dust and smoke, a mess.

As time passed, Lu Changsheng firmly suppressed this Xiantian creature.

His entire body turned into wisps of afterimages, traveling around the other party, making it difficult to escape.

A moment later.

Lu Changsheng caught a flaw in the other party, and an innate divine ability 【Soul Pain Strike】 was issued.

A distorted fluctuation suddenly appeared in the void, turning into a needle-like prick, suddenly drilling into the depths of the spirit fox's mind.

"Awoo, awoo..."

The tragic wailing sound rang through the entire arena, and the white fox began to roll crazily on the ground.

Flying sand and rolling stones were everywhere, and smoke and dust were rolling.

Take advantage of its illness to take its life.

Lu Changsheng activated the innate divine ability 【God-Slaying】 again.

The Perfect-level divine ability was released for the first time.

"Hum..."

A strange vortex suddenly appeared above his head, and a powerful suction force sucked toward the white fox.

"Zzz..."

The white fox felt that its deadline was approaching, its heart and spirit platform warned crazily, and it began to struggle violently.

However, it was still to no avail.

As Lu Changsheng increased his soul output, soon, a transparent fox soul drilled out from the white fox's mind, flying toward the vortex.

"Outsider, they will not let you go..."

In the blink of an eye, the white fox disappeared into it.

Before dying, it also issued an extremely vicious curse.

"Hum..."

Lu Changsheng felt wisps of cool feeling coming, and his own mental power rose significantly again.

"The power of innate divine abilities is truly astonishing."

His eyes were quite happy.

The two Perfect-level divine abilities combined together were enough to deal with most Xiantian creatures.

【Discovered Xiantian creature corpse; absorb?】

At this time, a crisp prompt sound rang out.

Making Lu Changsheng's expression move slightly.

"Absorb."

【Source Energy Points +15000.】

Watching the resource progress on the panel surge by a large notch made Lu Changsheng happy in his heart.

These Xiantian creatures were bred by the world, containing origin power, and could still be absorbed after being killed.

This gave him another channel to collect resources.

However, regarding the white fox's curse before dying, Lu Changsheng also had some guesses.

As an outsider, he was definitely extremely conspicuous in the newborn world.

Any Xiantian creature could accurately perceive him after meeting him, and also wanted to kill him.

This might be related to the world's will in the netherworld.

A moment later.

Lu Changsheng put away his thoughts and rushed toward the passage ahead.

A month later.

Noon, the sun was bright.

Lu Changsheng sat on a chair in the courtyard, drinking spiritual wine, his face full of contentment.

After this month of digging, he had collected a large amount of resource points again.

During this period, he had also encountered quite a few Xiantian creatures, all of which were killed one by one by relying on his two divine abilities.

The corpses were all absorbed, turning into Source Energy Points.

Open the panel.

Source Energy Points: 100800.

This was the harvest of these days.

Seeing that the plus signs behind the divine abilities were all lit up, he did not hesitate and clicked on them immediately.

As the Source Energy Points decreased by 90,000.

A magical fluctuation descended into the depths of his mind again.

It was as if a supreme powerhouse was preaching to him day and night, making his understanding of divine abilities increasingly thorough.

【After years of bitter cultivation, the Demon-Slaying God-Extinguishing Slash, Xiantian One-Qi Divine Steel, and Small Five Elements Evasion Technique have been cultivated to the Great Accomplishment realm by you.】

A moment later, bursts of crisp prompt sounds came to his ears, marking the official end of this upgrade.

After months, he had finally cultivated several divine abilities to Great Accomplishment.

Even some Xiantian Perfection powerhouses were only at the Small Accomplishment realm.

To cultivate divine abilities to Great Accomplishment, one must consume a large amount of time and spiritual items.

Some spiritual items were extremely precious and difficult to search for.

Relying on his Great Accomplishment-level evasion technique, Lu Changsheng's speed would definitely not lose to some ordinary Grandmasters.

After this breakthrough, his own safety surged again.

Afterward, he verified the breakthrough-level blade technique and body-protecting steel Qi again.

Swish, swish, swish...

As Lu Changsheng waved his blade, the entire courtyard was filled with endless blade beams, and the aura was extremely terrifying.

The pure white steel Qi around his body flickered, smooth as one, emitting a sense of being as immovable as a mountain.

After he broke through to the Xiantian Late Stage, plus the metamorphosis of his divine abilities, his overall strength was more than several times stronger.

In the netherworld, Lu Changsheng seemed to have touched the threshold of a Grandmaster.

This point was particularly terrifying.

One must know that he was only at the Xiantian Late Stage, and he had touched that "barrier."

If he broke through a few more times, wouldn't he be able to kill a Grandmaster as a Xiantian? This was definitely not a fantasy.

This was the huge amplification brought by a perfect breakthrough.

A Heavenly Pride who cultivates the invincible path, there is only one in each generation, and the combat power is naturally heaven-defying.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng leaped up and fled toward the void in front.

He saw a white radiance traveling through the thick mist, as fast as a thunderbolt.

Lu Changsheng fled wantonly between the vast heaven and earth, fleeing all the way along the northwest direction.

Soon, he was out of Qingning Prefecture City.

He activated the Small Five Elements Evasion Technique to the limit, and his speed could completely rival a Grandmaster.

I am afraid that even some Xiantian powerhouses underground would find it difficult to discover his traces.

These days, Lu Changsheng often heard rumors that demons were rampant on the border, and now that he could protect himself by relying on his speed, he planned to go and see for himself.

Flying all the way, until more than ten days later.

Lu Changsheng finally arrived at the border of the Great Zhou, in the northwest.

Relying on Source Energy Points, he didn't have to worry about running out of true Qi, and after flying continuously for more than ten days, he finally arrived at the border.

Looking at the somewhat illusory membrane in front of him, Lu Changsheng's expression moved slightly.

This layer of membrane seemed to be transformed by the Great Zhou's Qi Luck, and he could clearly feel a sense of affinity.

Clearly, this place was the true border of the Great Zhou.

Relying on the massive human Qi Luck, they could barely block the large-scale invasion of demons.

"Shoo..."

His evasion light flashed, and he flew out directly.

Looking around, he saw that within a radius of dozens of miles, it was an endless desert.

Everywhere was filled with rolling yellow sand, very ancient and desolate.

Lu Changsheng set up his evasion light and traveled through the rolling clouds and smoke.

After traveling for several hours, he gradually saw some mountain ranges and greenery.

At the same time, from a small mountain range in front, an extremely evil aura came.

However, the aura was not strong, only around the Xiantian Mid Stage.

At the foot of the mountain, it was covered with piles of skeletons.

There were also a large number of men and women with little clothing, carrying a basket and walking slowly, their faces full of pain.

In the baskets, there were actually quite a few human corpses, and drops of fresh blood were still flowing, which was extremely creepy.

"Father, are we born to be eaten by evil demons?"

A haggard-looking young girl had dull eyes.

"These are all our own kind; they make us kill each other to take pleasure in it."

Since she could remember, she had witnessed countless times demons eating humans.

The humans on this Yunya Mountain had long been domesticated, and their final fate was to become food.

The old man beside the girl also had empty eyes: "These days have lasted for hundreds of years; legend has it that in the far east, there is a powerful human kingdom that can resist demons."

"Unfortunately, this place has fallen for many years, and no one has come to save us; we can only become the blood food of demons."

The people behind were also indifferent and speechless, clearly having long been desperate in their hearts.

Having witnessed countless predecessors being eaten alive, they no longer held any extravagant hopes.

They only hoped for less pain when they died.
