I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 221 - 193: Comprehensive Enhancement (900 Yue Tickets Extra)
Jiang Yuebai’s Divine Sense moved, and the surrounding Earth Spiritual Energy instantly gathered at her brow, faster and stronger than before.
Earth Thunder!
Earth-colored lightning struck down from the sky, causing a large sand worm to explode, with the splattering arcs of electricity like a barrage of chaotic arrows, severing the waist of five surrounding sand worms.
The piercing screeches echoed through the heavens and earth, and Jiang Yuebai’s eyes flashed with delight, as one Earth Thunder previously couldn’t kill a sand worm.
Now, a single strike on the head not only shattered the sand worm into bits but the exploding aftermath of Earth Thunder could easily take the lives of the surrounding sand worms.
This improvement was not just a little; it even surpassed the normal power of the "Five Thunders Righteous Method".
"Let’s try other thunders."
Full of spirit, Jiang Yuebai stood in mid-air with her Cloud Stepping Boots, swiftly maneuvering, as bolts of thunder struck down fiercely, blasting the sand worms’ flesh and bones all around, leaving them defenseless.
Rumble!
The ground violently shook, and Jiang Yuebai saw the surrounding yellow sand swelling, dust filling the sky, as if something buried under the sand was quickly approaching from all directions in countless numbers.
"That’s not right, sand worms are the most cunning demon beasts; if they can’t win, they run, so why are they calling other sand worms over now? Are they bullying me alone?"
A piercing screech, and the yellow sand suddenly exploded!
A sand worm, larger than the others and clad in rock-like armor, soared into the sky, opening a giant abyss-like mouth filled with sharp teeth, viciously lunging at Jiang Yuebai.
Bang!
Jiang Yuebai used Sky-Breaking Flash to dodge, and the entire dune below was smashed into a massive pit, dust filling the heavens.
More and more sand worms burst out from the sand; a glance showed the vast sands were full of sand worms spiraling upwards, spraying foul poison at Jiang Yuebai like pouring rain.
"Is this the Seventh-Level Sand Worm King?"
The Sand Worm King roared in fury, streams of light gathering in its abyssal mouth, transforming into toxic green globules as it frantically spewed them at Jiang Yuebai like rapid cannon fire.
Boom, boom, boom!
Jiang Yuebai danced left and right in mid-air with her Cloud Stepping Boots, as fast as lightning, while the huge green blobs flew past her, instantly corroding the yellow sand into gloopy pits.
The Sand Worm King’s strength was approaching the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment; the commotion was too large, she had to solve it quickly.
"Blade Flow Wind Kill!"
Jiang Yuebai furrowed her brow, and a golden hurricane rose from beneath her feet in an instant, fiercely colliding like blades and soldiers, unstoppable, with the force of ten thousand jins, pushing forward.
Amidst the howling winds, the earth trembled, yellow sand flew, and the dense swarm of sand worms was shredded into powder, unable to resist.
Boom!
The hurricane crashed into the Sand Worm King’s body, streams of light flying, a piercing alien scream, as the Sand Worm King twisted in agony, its rock armor being sliced off inch by inch.
[You bloodily ravage the sand worm swarm with ’Blade Flow Wind Kill’, the brutality like a bulldozer, Blade Flow Wind Kill skill level +50]
[Congratulations, your ’Blade Flow Wind Kill’ has broken through to the Third Layer, power doubled]
Jiang Yuebai’s eyes lit up, nearly a hundred sand worms were decimated, the Sand Worm King’s rock armor shattered, its body festering yet still struggling.
Jiang Yuebai waved away the spell, took out the Condensing Light Mirror, and quickly drew a Blood Talisman by cutting her finger.
Go!
A bone-chilling cold suddenly erupted from the mirror, as the Ice Hornless Dragon within surged out violently, with its body of icy crystal swords, crashing into the struggling Sand Worm King.
Boom!
Blue chill bursts like stellar explosion, sweeping waves of aftermath.
The Sand Worm was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture, the chill frenziedly spreading, turning the entire desert into an ice field in an instant.
With a loud bang, the Sand Worm King shattered into ice debris, disappearing completely along with the Ice Hornless Dragon.
"What is that?"
Jiang Yuebai saw a fist-sized, earth-colored lotus fall from the Sand Worm King’s body, and as she aimed to draw it into her hand, the lotus scattered into yellow sand with the wind.
In the sky, a Tunneling Light was heading swiftly toward this place, Jiang Yuebai dared not delay, hurriedly collecting the Beast Soul, using Hidden Sky Robe to conceal her presence and aura, quickly fleeing.
Soon, two Foundation Establishment stage Martial Cultivators arrived at the scene, seeing the vast ice field and frozen remains within the yellow sand, looking aghast.
"Is this the corpse of a Seventh-Level Sand Worm King? Aren’t the beasts from No Return Sea all driven out by the Sha Clan’s Old Ancestor using secret techniques? How could a Seventh-Level Demon Beast appear?"
"According to the battle traces here, it should be a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment expert, so savage, wonder if it’s someone from my Martial Sect or Buddhist Sect, if it’s the latter, that would be bad."
"Better report back quickly, I feel something’s off with the No Return Sea’s atmosphere."
The two left swiftly.
Jiang Yuebai cautiously moved forward, only stopping to rest once she confirmed safety.
Swallowing a Soul Condensing Pill to slowly recover Divine Sense, Jiang Yuebai took out the Condensing Light Mirror, suddenly thinking of a way to quickly activate Talisman Treasures.
With her current ability, fully activating Talisman Treasures takes about ten breaths, but with blood-formed talismans in Condensing Light Mirror, it takes only one or two breaths.
So she could completely pre-seal spells in the Condensing Light Mirror, releasing them when needed.
"I wonder how many spells Condensing Light Mirror can seal, how much power decreases on release? Can the spells of Golden Core Masters be sealed?"
Jiang Yuebai looked towards the western rolling dunes; the journey to Prajna Temple ruins was two or three days away, she could gradually try to verify it.
Westward journey.
Jiang Yuebai walked and paused, hunting demon beasts, avoiding Buddhist Sect’s patrol squads.
Acting alone, she was a smaller target, even encountering Buddhist Sect’s outposts, in such a vast desert, simply bypassing them ensured passage.
Only, each time she detoured, she would encounter numerous battle-ready demon beasts, including Seventh-Level Beast Kings, as if they too were guards.
On the later two Seventh-Level Beast Kings she slew, she also saw the earth-colored lotus, and once she got close, on it she sensed a powerful spirituality akin to Primordial Essence. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Unfortunately, she couldn’t catch it, the lotus just scattered into yellow sand.
It reminded Jiang Yuebai of the Fake Elixir Stage Scorpion King controlled by Ruosheng.
Aside from this minor episode, Jiang Yuebai nearly figured out the situation with the Condensing Light Mirror.
Spells within Talisman Treasures, Condensing Light Mirror could only store one, releasing it weakens the power from full to about nine-tenths, effect isn’t particularly large.
Ordinary spells, in battle, Condensing Light Mirror can block three, then needs a quarter of an hour’s rest to continue blocking others.
To some degree, Jiang Yuebai feels it’s due to her inadequate strength, thus Condensing Light Mirror requires rest to accumulate; perhaps as her cultivation improves, the mirror may in combat block more spells.
As for Golden Core Stage spells, whether Condensing Light Mirror can block or seal them, Jiang Yuebai feels it might, she just couldn’t find anyone to help test it.
This night, with stars sparse, Jiang Yuebai sat behind a dune, activated Protection Array for cultivation.
The Earth Spiritual Energy and Fire Spiritual Energy within the Quicksand Domain were exceptionally abundant, this half-year she’s fought frequently, as a Fire Evil Spiritual Body, her cultivation technique’s progress far exceeded before, described as advancing leaps and bounds isn’t exaggerated.
[Congratulations, you successfully crafted the ’Flame Armor’ Rune, Fire Refining Sky Secret Scripture breakthrough to the Third Layer.]
Jiang Yuebai opened her eyes, with a move of Divine Thought, her body was immediately cloaked in dark red flames, shaped like armor, blazing fiercely.
Requiring only scant Fire Spiritual Energy to maintain without dissipating, it could withstand spells and artifacts breaking through during battle.
When fully activated, defensive power doubled, the Earth Evil Fire atop could even injure enemies.
"Such a practical defensive rune, when ’Fire Refining Sky Secret Scripture’ breaks through to the Fourth Layer, my cultivation will be Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment; it’s been less than two years since achieving Foundation Establishment, spiritual body cultivation is indeed fast!"
As the Golden Crow rises, the world bathed in sunrise glow.
Jiang Yuebai retracted the Protection Array, stood up, stretching her muscles; if her direction was correct, she could reach the Prajna Temple ruins today.
Just about to depart, the surrounding yellow sand began to tremble, Jiang Yuebai immediately on full alert.
Soon, a Fake Elixir Stage Scorpion King with only one claw emerged from the nearby sand, not approaching Jiang Yuebai.
Its highly raised scorpion tail pointed to its back, then pointed twice towards the direction of Prajna Temple.
Jiang Yuebai frowned, "Do you mean to lead me to Prajna Temple? Is this... Ruosheng’s intent?"
