ER – Chapter 679: Special-Grade Soul Herb
“What do you want?” The Four Way Martial Emperor admitted defeat .
In the face of absolute strength, he didn’t have a choice .
Li Fuchen responded, “I don’t want anything I just wish to exchange for some resources . ”
The four major first-rate factions already had quite a substantial amount of top-cla.s.s resources, it was most definite that the Four Way Empire’s resources would be on a higher level .
“If that is only the case, there isn’t a need to even fight . ” The Four Way Martial Emperor frowned and said .
Li Fuchen chuckled and said, “If I said that at the start, would you even bother with us?”
The Four Way Martial Emperor fell silent . It was true, if Li Fuchen immediately offered for an exchange of resources, he might not have agreed and would still have to go through a battle .
“Follow me . ”
The Four Way Martial Emperor didn’t dare to pull any tricks . Right now, his life was in Li Fuchen’s hand .
…
The Four Way Empire’s treasure vault was extremely grand . Even if all of the four major first-rate factions were combined, they might also be inferior .
The top-notch resources contained within the treasure vault didn’t disappoint Li Fuchen and Yan Qingwu .
“With these two stalks of Reversal Spirit Herb, I will be able to cultivate until the 1st rank of the Reincarnation Saint Spirit Technique . ”
It was beyond Yan Qingwu’s expectations when she found two stalks of Reversal Spirit Herb in the treasure vault .
But as compared to Li Fuchen, Yan Qingwu’s rewards were inferior .
Li Fuchen found 15 stalks of high-grade soul herbs in the treasure vault .
Apart from that, there was one stalk of special-grade soul herb .
The soul herb was sorted into four grades, low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and special-grade .
A low-grade soul herb was an earth cla.s.s low-tier herb . A mid-grade soul herb was an earth cla.s.s high-tier herb . A high-grade soul herb was a heaven cla.s.s low-tier herb . A special-grade soul herb was a heaven cla.s.s high-tier herb .
Li Fuchen had never seen a heaven cla.s.s high-tier herb .
It was said that heaven cla.s.s high-tier herbs were also useful for saints .
“I have a question . Where can I find more soul herbs in the Four Way Continent?”
After keeping the soul herbs, Li Fuchen asked the Four Way Martial Emperor .
The Four Way Martial Emperor replied honestly, “The Four Way Continent has a dangerous place called the Soul Valley . Whenever a mist appears in the Soul Valley, it means a soul herb will appear . But the Soul Valley is extremely dangerous . Once anyone goes inside too deep, they might never exit that place again . ”
“Soul Valley…” Li Fuchen took note of the name .
He was planning to take a look there when there was a chance .
“I should have ventured out earlier . ”
The Thunder Beast who had turned into a demonic dog was frowning and was rather regretful .
Within the Four Way Empire’s treasure vault, there were plenty of herbs that could strengthen demonic beast’s bloodlines .
When he was staying in the Thunder Cloud Cult previously, Duanmu Tian might tribute some top-notch resources for him to consume, but the quant.i.ty and quality of those herbs couldn’t be compared with the Four Way Empire .
Yan Qingwu said, “The Four Way Empire is only a monarch-cla.s.s faction . In the outside world, there are plenty of emperor-cla.s.s factions or even saint-cla.s.s factions . At those places, there are plenty of high-grade herbs . ”
She wasn’t just bragging when she guaranteed the Thunder Beast that he could evolve into a demonic beast ruler within ten years .
According to what she knew, there were a few resources that allowed a demonic beast to progress significantly after consumption . As long as they could find one of those resources, it would reduce the time to evolve by half .
After leaving the Four Way Empire’s capital city, the duo and the beast found a mountain range where they could cultivate in seclusion .
15%, 16%…
After consuming 15 stalks of high-grade soul herbs, Li Fuchen’s spirit soul was now 18% pale red .
“The effects of the soul herbs are getting weaker . ”
Previously, Li Fuchen only used 11 stalks of high-grade soul herbs to progress from 10% to 14% .
Right now, he actually used 15 stalks of high-grade soul herbs to only progress from 14% to 18% .
“I wonder about the effects of this special-grade soul herb . ”
Li Fuchen stuffed the special-grade soul herb into his mouth .
After a long time, Li Fuchen opened his eyes and they shot out with radiance .
“No wonder it is a special-grade soul herb . The effects are nearly twice of 15 stalks of high-grade soul herbs . It is actually more than twice . ”
At this moment, Li Fuchen’s spirit soul was already 25% pale red .
The powerful train of thoughts caused Li Fuchen’s mind to perform incredibly . He felt that there was almost nothing in this world that he couldn’t comprehend .
***
Three days later…
In the sky above the mountain range .
“Meteor Fall!”
Li Fuchen thrust his right hand’s middle and index fingers at one of the mountains .
Pfff!
The mountain top was first penetrated before turning into dust .
The sword move was much stronger than Li Fuchen imagined .
When he executed the sword move, everything in the vicinity of the mountain was in an almost stasis state . It only reverted to normal after the mountain was penetrated . Subsequently, the mountain top started to disintegrate and turn into dust .
However, this sword move was not completed yet . At least, it still wasn’t fast enough .
In Li Fuchen’s opinion, it would only be considered fast when it could distort time and s.p.a.ce .
***
One week later…
At Yan Qingwu’s seclusion spot .
An intent saber intent rushed into the sky .
Swish!
Yan Qingwu flew to high alt.i.tudes and cleaved down .
There was no sound and presence . Everything had been split apart, even the heaven and earth law was split apart by the saber .
Seeing this scene, the Thunder Beast felt chills down his spine .
He felt that if he received this saber move, even his demonic beast spirit would be cleaved apart and there was no chance of survival .
“I am finally able to utilize the full power of Black Saber . “
Now that the Reincarnation Saint Spirit Technique was at the 1st rank, Yan Qingwu’s true spirit was already comparable with regular Law Phase Realm emperors . It was enough for her to execute the Black Saber at full power .
Of course, it was still lacking if she wanted to execute Black Saber’s finishing move, Seek Dao .
After all, the finishing move of the Black Saber was already at the heaven cla.s.s peak-tier .
The same moment when Yan Qingwu executed the saber move, a few dozen miles away, there was a sword intent that rushed into the sky and it distorted the time and s.p.a.ce .
“Such powerful sword intent!” Yan Qingwu raised her brows and was filled with shock .
“Yan Qingwu, let’s have a spar . ” Li Fuchen flew up and stood in the air .
After over a week of comprehension, Li Fuchen finally created the heaven cla.s.s high-tier Meteor Fall . Right now, he was just lacking actual combat practice .
“Alright . ”
Yan Qingwu raised the black saber high above her head and executed the Black Saber – Set Sail at Li Fuchen .
As compared to before, Yan Qingwu used her full strength this time . In the void, qi waves were rushing at both sides .
The qi waves weren’t just air, they were obviously manifestations of energy and heaven and earth law .
Wherever the saber edge pointed, there was nothing else but saber intent . Everything else was isolated .
Li Fuchen smiled and drew the Joint-Heaven Sword before brandishing it .
The time and s.p.a.ce appeared with some distortion .
The distortion of time and s.p.a.ce took out the significance of distance and time .
At the same moment, the dazzling sword light disregarded the distorted time and s.p.a.ce . It then clashed with the opposing saber light .
The Thunder Beast was dumbfounded .
In the mountain range which stretched over 10,000 miles . Most of the mountain peaks started to float and were frozen in the sky, including the Thunder Beast .
“Thunder Armor!”
The Thunder Beast was appalled and quickly activated its innate ability to protect himself .
Tss Tss Tss!
As the blades clashed, there were black cracks that appeared . The cracks were extremely unstable and would sudden exploded moments later . After hearing a rumbling sound, the floating mountains were all turned into dust .
Pfff!
The Thunder Beast was sent flying after vomiting a mouthful of blood .
He could feel that Li Fuchen and Yan Qingwu were already intentionally avoiding him . But just the pressure from the attacks were overwhelming for him .
“What a great heaven cla.s.s high-tier sword art!” Yan Qingwu praised .
“It doesn’t has as many moves like your Black Saber . ”
Li Fuchen knew clearly that if they were just comparing saber and sword arts, he wouldn’t be a match for Yan Qingwu if the fight extended .
Of course, he didn’t make use of the sword heart’s power either . Otherwise, Yan Qingwu would be able to block his sword move so easily .
