Chapter 222
222 Chapter 221-exploration progress
The Lu family had made some progress in the development of the secret realm ‘beyond the starry sky’, but there were no particularly critical changes.
In fact, Li Yanling had participated in the two operations that had progressed the fastest.
She had stayed with the Lu family for a year.
Originally, she had only planned to stay for two months. Later, after the ancient site’s Secret realm was upgraded, she decided to simply stay a little longer, extending it to an entire year.
The ancient secret realm opened once every half a year, and even if she entered, she could only follow this rule and come out once every half a year.
Thus, the first time she came out, she personally led the team, mingchao, chaoxi, and three or four foundation building cultivators from the Lu clan. They entered the group of palaces outside the starry sky and directly fought their way in from the entrance.
Of course, Lu Qing was also there to ensure their safety.
In fact, Lu Qing was always present whenever the Lu clan organized a team to explore, explore, and kill the star Palace guards. Although he had already confirmed that these Star Palace guards were brainless and didn’t have their own command system, as long as he didn’t provoke a large group of them, he didn’t have to worry about all the monsters coming out at the same time.
However, no matter what, this was merely an observation that Lu Qing had made and a conclusion from his experience. Who knew if there would be any accidents?
Given the clan’s current situation, Lu Qing’s liver would ache if he lost a foundation building cultivator, let alone chaoxi and mingchao, his two biological children, and an initial enlightenment cultivator.
Furthermore, even if there were no rioters, Lu Qing was the most impressive Scout in the world. If he followed the team, he would be able to ensure the safety of the team.
As for the battle situation, it was basically a crushing defeat.
Ordinary Star Palace guards were only at the 2nd rank. Even if their combat power was quite strong among the second-rank because of their own characteristics, under the leadership of one Jindan and two Qiming, they were no different from chickens and dogs.
But after all, within the star Palace, other than the ordinary guards at the 2nd stage, there was still a leader at the 3rd stage.
There were actually quite a number of stage three leaders. In some places, there were even two or four of them gathered together, and they often brought a large number of stage two guards.
This was very troublesome.
If they fought directly, they would probably suffer losses.
In the first exploration that Li Yanling had participated in, they had only tried to kill a single rank 3 star Palace guard.
But even so, it wasn’t a smooth battle.
Li Yanling did not participate in the battle immediately. Chaoxi and Ming Chao went first. As a golden core cultivator, Li Yanling was holding the fort at the side.
After the fight, the strength displayed by the star Palace guard was equivalent to the middle-grade of the third level, stronger than the two of them.
Moreover, it had more tricks up its sleeve than a Tier 2 monster. It could control multiple Starlight weapons at the same time, and it had the ability to switch positions, weapons, and flash within short distances.
The siblings, Lu chaoxi and Lu mingchao, had been suppressed the moment they started fighting.
Li Yanling, who had been holding the rear, quickly couldn’t hold back and wanted to attack in case her husband and ninth sister were injured.
However, it was not her turn to make a move in the end.
No matter what, chaoxi and mingchao were children that Lu Qing had invested a lot of effort into raising. Even though the two of them had not grown up for a long time and there was a gap in their strength, chaoxi’s lightning technique and mingchao’s mysterious Void Spirit root were both very powerful techniques.
When the two of them went all out, the effect was quite fierce.
At that time, Ming Chao had directly activated void walk and stuck to the Guard’s face. He had used his extremely sharp ice to chisel a hole in the Guard’s face and poured his spiritual energy into it.
Of course, the Tier 3 guards wouldn’t be as easy to deal with as the Tier 2 guards. The star power in its body gushed out and suppressed the wound. At the same time, the star radiance weapons around it that were under its control were all recalled and slashed toward Lu mingchao.
Ming Chao didn’t back down and directly opened the Zhu wave Ling shield.
This was a tough fight.
If she was alone, she would definitely suffer a great loss.
She clearly couldn’t quickly finish off this stage three monster, and her defensive magical equipment wouldn’t be able to withstand the other party’s full attacks for long.
However, she didn’t expect that this attack would succeed. In essence, this was still to create an opportunity for her brother to attack.
Chaoxi didn’t waste any time.
He immediately circulated his spiritual energy with all his might. As Thunder rumbled, he used the most powerful move of the godly sword lightning-controlling true spell, the profound heavenly lightning sword slash, with all his might.
Black, blue, and golden lightning intertwined around the pitch-black black Lightning sword, and with an ear-piercing sound, it blasted straight towards the star Palace guard. It was as if it didn’t care about anything else and wanted to kill this monster and its little sister at the same time.
The Tier 3 guard did not have time to defend himself. His strength was being pulled away by Lu mingchao. He had also retracted his weapon to attack mingchao. He did not have anything to block Lu chaoxi’s attack.
In fact, it only had time to turn its head and watch the sword light coming at it.
Mingchao, on the other hand, had no intention of dying with it. When the sword light bloomed, she activated void walk and jumped away.
Chao Xi was still a third-level initial enlightenment cultivator. His amplification magic weapon, the mighty command, and his full-powered attack were enough to cause fatal damage to the star Palace guard, who was not in good condition and had not put up an effective defense.
After the lightning subsided, the rank three star Palace guard was still alive. However, half of his head and a small part of his body had been sliced off. The rest of his incomplete body was also covered in lightning and had traces of being struck. The divine colors of the stars that should have been brilliant and dazzling had become extremely dim.
This guy could still move and control his weapon, trying to counterattack. But it was clear that its power had been greatly weakened. The Starlight weapons that had been summoned had become weak and powerless.
After a few more attacks, that guy was completely unable to move.
From his body, he had collected five stage three Starlight weapons.
After this battle, Li Yanling didn’t bother to look at the 3rd rank Star Palace guards and personally took action.
He had killed at least four of them in one go.
After this operation, she had cultivated in the ancient secret realm for half a year before coming back. This time, she first used up the 10 days of time to increase the effects of her cultivation. After resting for half a month, she once again set off with her team and killed seven third rank Star Palace guards.
If not for these two waves of rather generous profits, Mingjie would not have had the chance to create a stage three weapon in the future.
In addition, the weapon was named ‘flux star sword’ and given to Chao He.
After completing the ‘flux star sword’, Ming Jie and the others were still researching the third step Starlight weapons. They were trying to purify and transform the power within.
The demonic core of a third-tier demonic beast could be used to refine the foundation building elixir. As a type of demonic creature, the soul beads of the level three white ghouls could not be directly used to refine the foundation building elixir. However, after refining, purifying, and transforming, three of them could be used to refine a furnace of foundation building elixir.
If that was the case, could he extract and convert the strength of the stage three guards he had killed in outer space to research a way to refine the foundation building pill?
