Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses-Chapter 605 - 581: After the Battle, Advancement (Combined - 4K)_2
As a result, the people of the Corpse-Driving Sect are truly helpless against it.
’Fu Weiyi, huh...’ Lou Yi pondered in his heart, while his gaze turned to an inconspicuous large tree in Huai City, under which something buried by his clone lay hidden.
Thousands of miles away.
"Run, the monsters are coming again!"
"Spare me, don’t eat me, ah..."
"You beasts, I’ll fight you to the death!"
An ordinary border city of Zhao Kingdom had nearly turned into a living hell at this moment.
Large monsters taller than buildings, such as Tiger Demons, Bear Demons, Leopard Demons, Mouse Demons, and others, rampaged through the city, either devouring the Human Race or massacring them. The city was filled with severed limbs, scattered flesh, and pools of blood...
The roars and sinister laughs of the Demon Clan mixed with the desperate cries of the people, composing a requiem of a chaotic era.
At this moment, a shadow stood silently in one corner of the city, indifferent to the human tragedy around.
The gaze was fixed solely on a black disc suspended in mid-air.
The surface of the black disc was engraved with extremely complex golden patterns, making anyone dizzy at a glance.
Its edges emitted an eerie, flashing light, like an unfathomable vortex, sucking in all the lingering souls of the dead from the city all at once.
As the residual souls were massively absorbed, golden patterns on the surface of the disc lit up from their dark state.
The brightly lit patterns occupied more than eighty percent of the entire disc.
"Soon, very soon." A sinister smile appeared at the corner of the shadow’s mouth.
Among the bloodthirsty massacre by monsters and the people’s screams, it appeared particularly cold and chilling.
...
After Lou Yi’s return, he once again firmly occupied the top position on Zhao Kingdom’s demon-slaying list.
It can be imagined that for a long time afterwards, his position would be as stable as Mount Tai, unshaken by anyone.
The news of the Red Hero’s resurrection, charging through several cities, and overpowering several masters of the Demon Clan, also stirred great waves in Zhao Kingdom, being buzzed about by the people and repeatedly mentioned by storytellers.
"The Red Hero returned as a king, defeating the top Demon Clan of Cyan Wolf Ridge in just a few moves!"
"I heard that demon was a Bloodline at the Realm of Perfection, just a half-step away from becoming a Great Demon!"
"Wasn’t the Red Hero sacrificed? How could he still be alive to return?"
"Rumor has it that the Red Hero mastered the True Art of Nine-Life Rebirth, each death enhancing his strength. Once he dies nine times, he will be invincible under the heavens!"
Not only in Zhao Kingdom but also in several neighboring countries, and even within Cyan Wolf Ridge, a great turmoil was caused.
Any Bloodline at the Realm of Perfection holds the potential to achieve the status of a Great Demon in the future.
Growing to such a realm consumed enormous resources from the supporting forces.
The death of two Bloodline Perfection royal families is never a trivial matter in any era.
Even a giant like Cyan Wolf Ridge felt immense pain.
Furthermore, the defeat at Cyan Wolf Ridge also dealt a certain blow to its reputation within the Demon Clan.
Therefore, a recently returned member of the Wolf Clan from Abyss released harsh words, vowing to engage in a life-and-death duel with the Red Hero to reclaim the Wolf Clan’s honor.
This Wolf Demon is named Chi Leyun, rumored to be much stronger than Chi Lexuan and Chi Wuliang within the Demon Clan.
Once the news broke, it rapidly spread among the major sects in the Northern Domain of Central Continent, causing significant commotion.
...
"Chi Leyun claimed that within a fair fight, he could kill the Red Hero in three moves!"
"It’s said that Chi Leyun is the elder brother of Chi Lexuan, having honed his skills in the Abyss for a full three years, possessing unfathomable strength..."
"Surviving in the Abyss for three years? Hiss..."
Ordinary people only knew a master from the Wolf Clan challenged the Red Hero, without understanding its weight.
Only the high-level figures of several major sects understood the significance of surviving in the Abyss for three years.
Those sent to the Abyss weren’t going on a trip; they were assigned important, complex tasks, without a moment’s rest.
In the Abyss, danger lurked everywhere at all times, encountering various demons, eerie elements, and unknown terrifying entities—those slightly weaker probably couldn’t last three days.
To survive three years in the Abyss, the strength must be unmatched by ordinary Bloodline Perfection Demon Clan.
Thinking of this, many cultivators couldn’t help but feel worried about the Red Hero’s situation.
Lou Yi, of course, heard about this, but he dismissed it as the demon’s nonsense and couldn’t care less.
Having just slain a bunch of monsters, he was busy sorting the spoils.
A pile of dead Demon Generals and minor demons increased Lou Yi’s energy by several thousand points, along with more than a dozen talents, mostly in strength and defense.
However, there were also two distinct ones.
’Discovered collectible items, choose one of three:
energy points
Slight enhancement in Yin Affinity
Talent: Stealth
Do you choose to collect?
’
’Discovered items available for collection, please select one of the following three options:
points of energy
Slight enhancement in Gold Affinity
Talent: Lunar Howl
Do you want to select?
’
The Stealth Talent comes from the Nether Shadow Wolf, while the Lunar Howl Talent originates from the Young Wolf Lord Chi Lechuan of the Howling Moon Sky Wolf Clan.
Stealth: The body can absorb, reflect, and refract light to blend into the surroundings as much as possible.
Stealth (Not Initiated 0/10)→Stealth (Initiated 0/30+1 Shadow Moss)
As Lou Yi advances in the Stealth Talent.
He senses a surge of energy from heaven and earth entering his skin, transforming its surface and giving him a tingling, pleasant sensation.
"Stealth."
When Lou Yi activates this newly acquired talent, his skin undergoes subtle and peculiar changes.
Instantly, his entire being becomes dim.
Or rather, it is not the color of his skin that changes, but the surrounding light is absorbed by him, creating different visual effects.
As the light shining on him is absorbed, reflected, or refracted.
His figure fades considerably, giving a feeling of melting into the void.
’This ability is somewhat similar to the Disguise Talent but involves more physical changes and is far from the complex mechanism of the Disguise Talent.’
This thought just flashes through Lou Yi’s mind when he sees the Disguise Talent on the Attribute Panel flicker.
Instantly, he understands its implication.
The Stealth Talent can merge with the Disguise Talent, but since he hasn’t gathered three talents, it cannot be realized yet.
Next, he looks at the Lunar Howl Talent.
Lunar Howl (Not Initiated 0/10)→Lunar Howl (Initiated 0/30+1 True Soul Stone)
Another fiery surge of energy from heaven and earth enters his body.
This time, it transforms Lou Yi’s throat and lungs, conducting special enhancements.
After the transformation is complete, Lou Yi opens his throat.
"Howl!"
A visible moon-white sound wave spreads out.
It crushes the surrounding trees and rocks into powder.
The power is lesser further away, but many birds fall stiffly from the treetops, clearly their Divine Souls have been dispersed.
’Its power is not as formidable as the martial art Raging Tide, but with further enhancement, that might not be the case.’
’It’s always good to have various means to face opponents; the more the better.’
After collecting several talents, Lou Yi’s strength is further enhanced.
His Basic Strength is nearly six million catties, compared to the previous five million, an increase of about twenty percent.
His Basic Speed has increased from five times the speed of sound to six times; if he uses Body into Sword, surpassing ten times is effortless.
Body Hardness is Lou Yi’s greatest strength.
Previously, he clashed with a full-blood Shadow Wolf, managing to break its claws, and now that he’s enhanced, who knows to what extent he has reached.
At the same time, this encounter with a full-blooded demon also gives him a clearer understanding of his current strength.
By purely using martial arts and talents, he can now effortlessly suppress a full-blooded or Extreme Foundation Establishment.
As for the rumored more powerful bloodline-morphed Demon Clan, or Golden Core seeds building a spiritual platform.
Because he hasn’t fought them yet, Lou Yi is not too sure.
But he is confident that if he uses the Grandmaster Domain, he can definitely give them a fight.
After digesting the other gains.
A palm-sized piece of gray, broken tortoise shell glowing with faint spiritual light appears in Lou Yi’s hand.
This is the Thousand-Year Tortoise Shell that his avatar previously requested from Chen Changqing, buried under an inconspicuous big tree in the city.
After Lou Yi’s return, he retrieves it.
In the Attribute Panel, he sees a faint + sign appearing behind the Divination Talent, and he feels a little excited.
Talents also have different levels.
Without a doubt, the Divination Talent is one of his most important and powerful talents at the moment.
He imagines a force pressing on the + sign behind the Divination Talent:
Divination (Initiated 0/500+1 Thousand-Year Tortoise Shell)→Divination (Proficient 0/3000+1 Time Grass)
...
