Chapter 538: Qiong Ji Sheng Hua Breakthrough (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Half an hour later.

"Roar~"

Seven Ninth Realm powerhouses unleashed their killing moves backward; space trembled, whipping up an energy storm that instantly melted the snowflakes in the air.

"Boom!"

The Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi let out a roar, its massive body crashing to the ground in death. The lightning power throughout its body dissipated, and blood soaked the accumulated snow like a waterfall.

"Finally won!"

The disheveled Silver-Armored Beijiang Beijiang Jianwang exhaled, his entire body exhausted.

Looking at the others, they were not faring well either.

He looked at the Overlord, Sword Emperor, and Shanhe King, sighing in his heart at the disparity in strength.

Through the battle with the Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi, one could see the gap in strength.

Someone like him, who had yet to break through, was at the bottom of the Ninth Realm martial artists.

Facing the Level 10 Calamity Beast, the Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi, he was completely helpless and unable to cause effective damage.

While the Blade Emperor and Heavenly Sword were slightly stronger, they also could not kill a Level 10 Calamity Beast.

Only those at the level of the Shanhe King and Sword Emperor could inflict massive damage.

Among them, the Overlord was the most powerful, clearly a level above the Sword Emperor.

Without the Overlord, the difficulty of killing the Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi would have been even greater.

Only after breaking through to the Ninth Realm did he realize the vastness of the Ninth Realm world.

And they had discussed privately; the Overlord revealed that he was no match for the Red Emperor at all.

The Red Emperor was in a league of his own.

The Overlord looked at the flowing blood and spoke to the Phantom Beijiang Jianwang:

"Its blood must not be wasted!"

The Phantom Beijiang Jianwang was a woman with a cold temperament and a tall figure.

She nodded, mobilizing her spiritual telekinesis to wrap around the flowing blood and suspend it in the air.

At the same time, she made the corpse of the Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi float, flying toward the Black Dragon Base.

"Boom!"

At the same time, the one-hour mark had arrived, and the three space gates began to close.

The Purple-Armored Overlord looked at the black tide of Calamity Beasts already surging toward the Black Dragon Base; any later, and the defense line would be completely breached.

"Attack!"

"The Calamity Beast tide should end now!"

"Hum hum!!"

After speaking, he swung the purple great spear in his hand, condensing hundreds of spear Gangjin, and aimed them at the Level 9 Calamity Beasts.

The five Ninth Realm martial artists beside him also moved at the same time!

They began to hunt the seven Level 9 Calamity Beasts!

Ten minutes later, with three top-tier Ninth Realm martial artists attacking, all six Level 9 Calamity Beasts, including the Platinum Evil Tiger, Earth-Shaking Dragon Elephant, Black Gold Gray Eagle, and Red Flame Bird, were killed.

As for the seventh, the Level 9 Mountain-Moving Ape, it had fled back to the other world ahead of time.

"This Mountain-Moving Ape is very strange; its strength has grown stronger again."

The Shanhe King looked at the fallen corpses of the Level 9 Calamity Beasts, a look of doubt appearing on his face.

However, this thought appeared for only a moment before dissipating.

He looked at the massive Calamity Beast tide, condensing his Gangjin into ten thousand arrows fired simultaneously, accurately targeting the high-level Calamity Beasts.

"Puff puff puff~~"

"Roar~"

Amidst the miserable roars, one after another, the Level 8 and Level 7 disaster beasts had their skulls pierced, their massive bodies collapsing with a boom.

With the Ninth Realm martial artists attacking with full force, a large number of Calamity Beasts died.

The situation began to reverse!

Black Dragon Base, 206, inside the Martial Path Room.

"Hoo hoo!!"

Accompanied by the blowing of intense wind, waves of heat radiated from Lin Qi, who was sitting cross-legged in his black-gold battle armor.

"Hum hum!!"

He suddenly opened his eyes, his chest heaving, and he spat out a mouthful of turbid air heavily.

It condensed into a whirlwind, raging inside the Martial Path Room.

Lin Qi slowly stood up, his power surging out like the rushing Yellow River.

At the same time, the fatigue and weakness of his body dissipated significantly.

【You fought a life-and-death battle with a Zerg warrior, activated the Second Layer · Golden Gangjin Transformation, were forced into a desperate situation, and triggered your talent — Qiong Ji Sheng Hua. Your physical body has undergone a transformation, Qi-Blood Value +300】

【You fought with a Zerg warrior, tempering your will in a life-and-death crisis, Spiritual Power +300】

【Spiritual Power: 10050 → 10350】

【Qi-Blood Value: 8700 → 9000】

Lin Qi looked at his data and exhaled.

"I didn't expect to actually trigger the Qiong Ji Sheng Hua talent!"

"It increased my Qi-Blood Value by a full 300. It's a pity I haven't fully recovered yet, otherwise, the increase in Qi-Blood Value would have been even more."

"After 7 blood exchanges, every point of Qi-Blood Value increase is not easy; it's all about breaking other people's limits."

"With normal cultivation, wanting to break through is too difficult!"

Lin Qi picked up his phone to check the time; only one hour had passed.

He turned and left the Martial Path Room; a fragrance assailed his nostrils, and food was already prepared on the dining table.

Lin Qi picked up his rice bowl and began to feast.

20 minutes later.

Lin Qi put down the empty bowl, stood up, picked up his black-gold great spear, and took Xia Chan out again.

"Boom!!"

He rushed out quickly; by the time he approached the main gate, he could already hear the sound of artillery fire.

His recovery ability was astonishing; he had already recovered 80% of his combat power!

Hunting Calamity Beasts was completely fine.

"Roar~"

Just as he exited the gate, he saw that the three space gates had already dissipated.

"Everyone, the space gates have closed; you must hold on!"

A deep voice came from the base. Lin Qi looked at the black tide of Calamity Beasts, which had already charged to the second defense line.

"Boom!!"

Tanks and armored vehicles had already been destroyed by the Calamity Beasts.

Countless injured martial artists began to flee back to the base. Lin Qi's gaze sharpened.

"Boom!!"

In an instant, he erupted with golden light, condensing 30 spear Gangjin. Now that his Qi-Blood Value had surged and he had broken through to Stage Five Spear Technique, he could release even more spear Gangjin.

"Puff puff puff!!"

The golden spear Gangjin shot out, accurately piercing the leading Rending-Claw Apes.

In an instant, blood sprayed wildly, and the bodies of the Rending-Claw Apes and other mid-level Calamity Beasts crashed to the ground.

"It's the Golden Gangjin Spear Demon · Lin Qi!"

"We are saved!"

Some low-level martial artists shouted. With a top-tier genius like Lin Qi here, the second defense line could barely hold!

"Puff puff puff!"

Lin Qi seemed to have transformed into a ruthless killing machine, constantly waving his black-gold great spear, the golden spear Gangjin shooting out like sharp arrows.

Even if the mid- and low-level disaster beasts were hit, they were instantly pierced through, their life force extinguished.

Merit Points +100, Merit Points +50, Merit Points +300, Merit Points +800, Merit Points +100...

Lin Qi could feel his Merit Points rising crazily. He charged into the Calamity Beast herd.

He unleashed his Stage Five Spear Technique; it was faster, more powerful, smoother, and at the same time, more energy-efficient.

Under his control, a portion of the cells in his body moved crazily, and the Shanhe Domain was released.

Within a three-meter radius, a three-meter radius, like a circle with a diameter of six meters.

Calamity Beasts within this range would be suppressed.

As long as low-level Calamity Beasts were enveloped, the power of the mountain pressed down, and they instantly knelt on the ground, becoming piglets for Lin Qi to slaughter.

"Xiu xiu xiu!!"

Lin Qi continuously thrust his great spear; with his control power, he could thrust at least 500 times in one second.

In one second, he could continuously kill over a dozen Calamity Beasts.

So, within one minute of his appearance, a large number of Calamity Beasts had already fallen.

"Lin Qi, I'm here to help you!"

Suddenly, Liu Yuanzhang, dressed in silver armor, also rushed out. Six flying knives were like silver streams of light, instantly piercing the body of an Iron-Spine Battle Bear.

"Liu Yuanzhang, you recovered so quickly?"

Lin Qi asked curiously.

Liu Yuanzhang, while controlling the flying knives, spoke:

"I don't have a 【Minor Divine Ability】, so I recover a bit faster."

Lin Qi nodded; the side effects of a 【Minor Divine Ability】 were too great, and it wouldn't be possible to recover without several hours.

With the two of them joining, the pressure on the second defense line plummeted.

Lin Qi knew that the space gates had closed, and their Black Dragon Base had already won; next, they just needed to solve all the Calamity Beasts that had rushed out.

"I'm coming too!"

As some returned to the base, other martial artists who had finished resting hurriedly returned to the battlefield.

Lin Qi had completely gone crazy with killing. Seeing a Level 7 Calamity Beast, the Steel-Bone Giant Tiger, rush out, he swung his great spear and shot out.

He left several afterimages in place.

Golden spear Gangjin shot out, tearing through the air, and quickly killed it.

One hour later, three figures rushed back from afar.

They were the Water-Marsh King, Red-Fierce King, and Beijiang Beijiang Jianwang. They hovered in the air, releasing Gangjin, and began to guard the Black Dragon Base.

"Puff puff!!"

As soon as high-level Calamity Beasts appeared, they would be instantly killed by the Ninth Realm martial artists!

Seeing this, Lin Qi also continued to go deeper, cleaning up low-level Calamity Beasts while searching for high-level ones.

In a corner of the battlefield, it was instantly submerged by Calamity Beasts, and a large number of martial artist squads were killing them.

"Boom!"

The burly Liang Tai was seen swinging his great spear, his whole body wrapped in a layer of stone armor, and he erupted with brown light.

Every spear thrust would kill a Level 6 Calamity Beast.

Liang Tai was excited in his heart; the special ability 【Heavy Earth】 was too strong.

His combat power had increased significantly, and killing Level 6 Calamity Beasts was like killing chickens.

In just over three hours, he had already killed a large number of Calamity Beasts.

It was more than the Merit Points he earned hunting for a day normally.

At this rate of killing, he would soon be able to earn a large amount of Merit Points, pay off his debts, and buy many resources for cultivation.

"Roar~"

Suddenly, several roars made his whole body tremble. He saw several massive, towering Calamity Beasts pouncing from afar.

"Not good, it's the Great-Strength Apes, and there are three of them!"

"Run quickly!"

Liang Tai's expression changed drastically. Normally, there was only one, and their Rending-Rock Squad could work together to kill it.

With three, they could only run.

"We can't run anymore!" Xiao Yu swung his battle saber and said anxiously; there were too many Calamity Beasts around.

Liang Tai gritted his teeth and said:

"Then we'll resist head-on!"

Soon, three Rending-Earth Wolves charged over, and the seven members of the Rending-Rock Squad confronted them head-on.

A moment later, the other six had suffered different injuries, and Liang Tai was also struggling to hold on.

His heart was bitter; he had finally had a turn of luck, only to unluckily encounter three Great-Strength Apes.

He only hoped that everyone could return safely this time.

"Senior Brother!"

"Puff puff puff!!"

Suddenly, golden spear Gangjin shot out from the sky, instantly piercing the three Great-Strength Apes. Blood splashed out, and their massive bodies crashed to the ground.

At the same time, a familiar voice came from beside Liang Tai.

He turned his head and saw a familiar figure.

"Junior Brother!"

Seeing Lin Qi arrive, Liang Tai showed a look of surprise.

"Junior Brother, Brother Lin Qi!"

Second Senior Sister Wang Zhixuan, Xiao Yu, and others also greeted him.

Liang Tai smiled bitterly:

"Junior Brother, you've saved us again!"

Lin Qi shook his head: "Senior Brother, you are too polite."

"I'll go first; Senior Brother, you all kill more Calamity Beasts."

Liang Tai nodded, watching Lin Qi's back, and turned to the others:

"Let's return to the base to rest for a while!"

Everyone nodded, then killed their way back to the base, and after resting, they would continue to resist the Calamity Beasts!

As time passed, the number of Calamity Beasts was also decreasing.

Of course, the main threat, the Level 10 Calamity Beast, the Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi, was already dead.

The other Calamity Beasts no longer posed a threat.

Television stations and online platforms across the entire Xia Guo were also updating the battlefield situation in real-time.

"According to the latest news from this station, a rare super-large Calamity Beast tide erupted at the Black Dragon Base in Beijiang Province at 9:15 AM."

"Three space gates descended, with seven Level 9 Calamity Beasts and one Level 10 Calamity Beast descending!"

"Two hours into the battle, through the efforts of our nation's many Ninth Realm martial artists, they worked together to kill the Level 10 Calamity Beast, the Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi, with the astonishing record of zero sacrifices!"

"Currently, our nation has lost 2 Eighth Realm martial artists, 3 Seventh Realm martial artists..."

Countless people across the country breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the news.

"This super-large Calamity Beast tide was truly a great victory; there were actually no Ninth Realm martial artist sacrifices."

"And only 2 Eighth Realm martial artists were sacrificed."

"The number of sacrifices in this unprecedented super-large Calamity Beast tide was actually less than imagined."

"It shows that the strength of our Xia Guo has become even stronger."

The war continued, lasting until 9 PM before it preliminarily ended.

Lin Zhen and Fang Huiyi, who were in the villa in the Yujing Haoting residential area, also received news that Lin Qi was safe.

They finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, everyone at the Sky Dome Academy in the other world also received news that Lin Qi was fine.

As the Calamity Beast tide reached its end, the atmosphere across the entire Xia Guo also became much more relaxed.

Beijiang Province, Black Dragon Base.

"Boom!!"

"Roar~"

The war was still continuing, but it was nearing its end, and the sky had completely darkened.

Artificial mini-suns illuminated the entire battlefield.

It started snowing again; snowflakes fell on the earth, and all that could be seen was a small amount of snow-white.

Countless accumulated snow melted into snow water under the baptism of artillery fire, and the martial artists' fighting also caused the snow to melt.

On the battlefield of over ten kilometers, corpses of Calamity Beasts were everywhere.

A large number of transport vehicles began to transport the corpses of Calamity Beasts back.

In one of the areas.

Lin Qi, wearing black battle armor, looked solemnly at a fallen burly figure.

This figure was Meng Wu, who had been dead for a long time by now.

Liu Yuanzhang walked to Lin Qi's side and sighed:

"We gave Meng Wu ten bottles of Life Water, but it still didn't stop his death!"

"The Level 9 Zerg warrior's attack was too ruthless; it completely cut off his life force."

Lin Qi's expression was complex; he didn't expect Meng Wu to actually attack to save him.

Even if he did nothing, no one would blame him.

In the end, he still attacked to fight the opponent to save him, even knowing he would die, he still attacked.

Clearly, he could have retreated after resisting for a moment, but he persisted for a longer time.

He could only sigh that humans are such complex creatures.

"Hoo hoo!!"

A red fighter jet landed, and staff members carried Meng Wu's corpse up.

Then the cabin door closed, going to collect other sacrificed martial artists.

Lin Qi also collected his mood and returned to the Black Dragon Base with the others.

Lin Qi also carried his fatigue, separated from the others, and returned to his Room 206.

"Boom!"

He took off his battle armor and discovered that the Eighth-Order Black Gold Battle Armor had already suffered battle damage.

And his black-gold great spear also had dulling on it.

The Eighth-Order Zerg warriors, their arms were blades, and their sharpness was no weaker than Eighth-Order weapons.

"Xia Chan, order 2000 kilograms of Calamity Beast flesh and start cooking!"

After Lin Qi gave the instruction, he entered the bathroom to take a shower.

After the shower, he wore martial arts clothes and sat cross-legged, using his phone to open the War Home.

After a day of killing today, he was also very curious about how many Merit Points he had now.

【Name: Golden Gangjin Spear Demon · Lin Qi (Black Dragon Base)】

【Realm: Seventh Realm Blood Exchange】

【Merit Points: 6.936 million】

【Base Ranking: 20 → 1】

【Total Ranking: 60 → 3】

Lin Qi looked at the nearly 7 million Merit Points, his eyes widening instantly.

"So many Merit Points?"

Lin Qi felt a shock in his heart; this was a super huge sum of money.

He calculated secretly; in one day, he hunted five Level 8 Calamity Beasts, harvesting about 3 million Merit Points.

The remaining Level 7 Calamity Beasts, plus mid- and low-level Calamity Beasts, were nearly 1 million Merit Points.

But where did the 3 million Merit Points come from?

Could it be the Zerg warriors?

He killed a total of six Zerg warriors, one for 500,000 Merit Points, which was just about 3 million Merit Points.

Lin Qi nodded secretly, intending to ask his grand-teacher, the Shanhe King, tomorrow.

Then he looked at the ranking again.

Now at the Black Dragon Base, he was the number one on the Seventh Realm leaderboard.

On the total leaderboard, he was ranked 3rd, with only Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing ahead of him.

Thinking of this, Lin Qi exhaled and adjusted his mindset.

A moment later, he came to the living room, received 2000 kilograms of Level 9 Calamity Beast flesh, and let Xia Chan cook it.

Half an hour later, Lin Qi looked at the roasted flesh and began to feast.

One hour later.

Lin Qi exhaled, feeling that he was full.

His consumption today was huge; he had eaten a full 2000 kilograms of Level 9 Calamity Beast flesh.

After eating, he didn't need to rest; he entered the Martial Path Room, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate to recover his body's fatigue.

Black Dragon Base, the largest conference room.

Nine figures sat inside, and they were still wearing battle armor at this time.

Their bodies still radiated a rich killing intent.

The Purple-Armored Overlord spoke slowly:

"This super-large Calamity Beast tide is a great victory for our Black Dragon Base in decades!"

"Not only was there not a single Ninth Realm martial artist sacrificed, but the number of sacrifices of martial artists of other realms also decreased significantly!"

When the Overlord said this, everyone also showed smiles.

The rugged-faced Red-Fierce King laughed loudly:

"The Zerg didn't take action this time; it's really a strange thing?"

Other Ninth Realm martial artists also showed doubtful expressions.

"Cough cough!"

The Shanhe King coughed and then spoke:

"I have one thing to say!"

"The Zerg did take action, but their assassination target changed to Lin Qi!"

"This time they dispatched one commander and 11 Level 8 Zerg warriors, all to assassinate Lin Qi!"

"Lin Qi almost died!"

Once these words were spoken, the expressions of the other Ninth Realm martial artists changed instantly.

The Shanhe King also projected a set of data.

The Sword Emperor was surprised after reading it: "What a big move!"

The Beijiang Beijiang Jianwang snorted coldly:

"The Zerg are courting death!"

Other Ninth Realm martial artists also felt angry.

"The Zerg must be cleaned up; they actually dared to take action against our genius."

"They must be uprooted!"

"To settle the outside, one must first settle the inside; the Zerg must be dealt with!"

Several Ninth Realm martial artists spoke one after another.

The Shanhe King nodded: "At tomorrow's Star-Gazing Palace meeting, all Ninth Realm martial artists must be mobilized to carry out a cleanup of the Zerg."
