Chapter 679: Special-Grade Soul Herb
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-class 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 class low-tier herb. A mid-grade soul herb was an earth class high-tier herb. A high-grade soul herb was a heaven class low-tier herb. A special-grade soul herb was a heaven class high-tier herb.
Li Fuchen had never seen a heaven class high-tier herb.
It was said that heaven class 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 quantity 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-class faction. In the outside world, there are plenty of emperor-class factions or even saint-class 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 space.
***
One week later…
At Yan Qingwu’s seclusion spot.
An intent saber intent rushed into the sky.
Swish!
Yan Qingwu flew to high altitudes 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 class 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 space.
“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 class 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 space appeared with some distortion.
The distortion of time and space took out the significance of distance and time.
At the same moment, the dazzling sword light disregarded the distorted time and space. 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 class 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.
