1017 A Different Way of Using War to Cultivate War
Liu Yan chose to directly activate his Fire Elemental Domain.
A substantial amount of fire attribute elemental powers condensed, forming a circle of Fire Elemental Domain around Liu Yan.
To conserve energy, Liu Yan intentionally reduced the range.
Originally, Liu Yan’s Fire Elemental Domain had a maximum reach of a hundred meters in radius, but now he deliberately shrank it to only ten meters in radius.
This reduction significantly minimized the area, thus reducing the energy consumption for Liu Yan.
However, the diminished size did not translate to reduced power.
The incoming Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were instantly obliterated by Liu Yan’s Fire Elemental Domain.
Observing the intense and fearsome Fire Elemental Domain, the subsequent Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers hesitated to approach.
Since the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers inherently feared fire attribute elemental powers, confronting Liu Yan’s overwhelming fire attribute elemental powers, their trepidation was palpable, rendering them helpless.
Meanwhile, Liu Yan remained comfortable within the Fire Elemental Domain.
He stowed away his S-grade weapon, the Flying Cloud Mystic Bow, and temporarily ceased the battle.
Liu Yan’s strategy involved utilizing the Fire Elemental Domain to rest and recuperate, thereby rejuvenating his stamina and energy.
Though maintaining the Fire Elemental Domain required energy, Liu Yan limited its scope. Given his advanced mastery over fire attributes and elemental powers, he could maintain a scaled-down version of the Fire Elemental Domain. This configuration consumed energy at a gradual pace.
Liu Yan then employed specific methods to swiftly regain his energy. By doing so, he could wholly restore his stamina and energy, surpassing the expended resources.
Liu Yan sat down comfortably on the spot with a relaxed expression.
Despite the multitude of imminent dangers posed by the abundant Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, Liu Yan appeared completely unfazed. He sat as if he were in the comfort of his own home, impervious to the threats around him.
All of this stemmed from Liu Yan’s unwavering confidence in the Fire Elemental Domain. He firmly believed that these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were powerless to breach the defenses of the Fire Elemental Domain.
Thus, though there seemed to be numerous formidable Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers fixated on Liu Yan, in reality, they posed no genuine danger to him. Liu Yan need not pay them any attention.
With his newfound calmness, Liu Yan began extracting the corpses of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers one by one, initiating a process known as Divine Extraction.
Liu Yan’s method of swiftly restoring his stamina and energy involved utilizing Divine Extraction on the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower corpses.
As he engaged in Divine Extraction, Liu Yan experienced boosts in combat experience and attribute values. Consequently, his stamina and energy levels increased as well.
This was especially true when his amassed combat experience facilitated advancements in levels. Such achievements enabled Liu Yan to experience a substantial recovery of his stamina and energy.
Liu Yan let out a sigh, acknowledging that facing these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers necessitated his adoption of this method to restore his stamina and energy.
In situations involving ordinary beast hordes, Liu Yan could entirely leverage his SS-grade skill, Endless Blood, to draw on the abundant blood present on the battlefield. This would result in instantaneous recovery of his expended stamina and energy.
However, in the present circumstances, these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers belonged to a unique category of demonic plants, and as such, they lacked blood. Consequently, Liu Yan could not employ his SS-grade skill, Endless Blood, by drawing on the blood spilled on the battlefield.
At this juncture, Liu Yan utilized his SSS-grade talent, Divine Extraction, on the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower corpses.
A cascade of milky-white light descended upon the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower corpses.
Although this milky-white radiance exuded an exceedingly divine aura, its interaction with the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower corpses led to their rapid withering, ultimately reducing them to ashes.
In front of Liu Yan, a series of notifications emerged.
[Divine Extraction of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower (B-grade potential, 8-star combat strength) successful. Congratulations, you have gained: +3 Combat Experience, +1 Strength, +1 Constitution, +78 Spirit!]
[Divine Extraction of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower (A-grade potential, 14-star combat strength) successful. Congratulations, you have gained: +4231 Combat Experience, +134 Constitution, +341 Speed, +1341 Spirit!]
[Divine Extraction of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower (B-grade potential, 6-star combat strength) successful. Congratulations, you have gained: +2 Combat Experience, +1 Strength, +1 Constitution, +67 Spirit!]
[Divine Extraction of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower (A-grade potential, 14-star combat strength) successful. Congratulations, you have gained: +4512 Combat Experience, +234 Constitution, +241 Speed, +1522 Spirit!]
…
A stream of notifications unfolded before Liu Yan. His combat experience soared, his attributes surged, and his power grew. Simultaneously, the significant energy and stamina he had consumed rapidly replenished.
Liu Yan’s reaction to the notifications was not one of surprise, as they closely aligned with his expectations.
The Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers with lower combat strength provided comparatively modest advancements. Whether it was the growth in combat experience or the elevation of specific attributes, the changes were relatively slight.
This trend persisted because these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers fell under the special category of spiritual monster plants. Consequently, the low-level ordinary Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers still contributed commendably to enhancing Liu Yan’s spiritual power.
Though individual lower-level Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers only marginally increased Liu Yan’s spiritual power, when viewed collectively and considering their substantial numbers, they yielded a significant overall boost.
As for these high-level 14-star combat strength Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, the improvements they brought to Liu Yan in all aspects were undoubtedly quite substantial.
Whether in terms of combat experience or attribute values, especially in the spiritual attribute, they provided Liu Yan with impressive enhancements.
In just half a day, the number of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers that Liu Yan had slain had already reached an astonishing tens of thousands.
Liu Yan might have left behind the corpses of ordinary Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers to save time, but he made sure not to miss the corpses of the elite Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers with a 14-star combat strength.
With the assistance of these numerous Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower corpses, Liu Yan’s power was rapidly advancing. The stamina and energy he expended were also replenishing swiftly.
Liu Yan couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing. Having dealt with such a multitude of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, he was now using their remains to boost his strength and recover.
After his strength had increased and his stamina and energy had been restored, he could continue hunting down the remaining Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.
It was almost as if he was taking from the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers and then using them to his advantage.
Looking at it this way, he was essentially cultivating war through battles.
Liu Yan couldn’t help but chuckle wryly. He couldn’t use his tremendously powerful SS-grade skill, Endless Blood, to its full extent, yet he had developed a unique method of cultivating war through battles!
Extracting the corpses of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers one by one with Divine Extraction required quite a bit of time.
By the time the sky began to lighten, Liu Yan had finally completed the Divine Extraction of the last Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower.
Thanks to the improved speed of the SSS-grade talent, Divine Extraction, he managed to complete the extraction much faster than he would have previously. If it had been his previous speed, he wouldn’t have been able to fully extract the corpses of so many Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers in just one night.
Before Liu Yan, the final prompt appeared.
[Your combat experience is sufficient, and your level has increased. You have reached Level 87!]
Counting the combat experience gained during the day and the advancements made during the night, Liu Yan had leveled up three times consecutively, progressing from Level 84 to Level 87.
Liu Yan quickly checked his updated attributes panel.
[Liu Yan]
[Level: 87 (1000/87000)]
[Class: Law Warlock (Third transition, initial activation state)]
[Combat power star level: 19 (late stage)]
[HP: 17,000/17,000]
[MP: 17,000/17,000]
[Strength (Attack): 132,421]
[Vitality (Defense): 134,342]
[Agility (Speed): 105,233]
[Spirit (Mana): 143,939]
[Adaptability (Magic Resistance): 86,513]
[Luck (probability): 89]
After looking at his attribute panel, Liu Yan couldn’t help but feel satisfied.
Although the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers had offered relatively limited enhancements to Liu Yan’s attributes other than his spiritual attributes, his innate talent was remarkable. Upon leveling up, he naturally experienced substantial improvements.
By now, Liu Yan’s agility attribute had also broken the threshold of 100,000.
Yet the most significant enhancement was undeniably the increase in his spiritual attribute’s power.
In the beginning, this attribute had been Liu Yan’s weakest point, but now it had become his strongest. His MP had even caught up with his health bar. This rate of growth was so exceptional that even Liu Yan himself couldn’t help but feel it was almost unreal.
And all of this was owed to the multitude of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.
At this point, Liu Yan lifted his gaze toward the Fire Elemental Domain that was still in place. Outside of it lay numerous Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, maintaining their vigilant stance.
Even the weakest among them possessed a 14-star battle strength, making them incredibly formidable opponents.
These Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were unable to break through the formidable Fire Elemental Domain. Consequently, they could only encircle Liu Yan and the Fire Elemental Domain, waiting for the moment when Liu Yan’s energy was depleted and he could no longer sustain the fire attribute elemental powers. Then, they would attack together, seeking to eliminate Liu Yan in one fell swoop.
However, what this multitude of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers was unaware of was that throughout this night, Liu Yan, who had remained within the Fire Elemental Domain, not only greatly enhanced his strength through the Divine Extraction of numerous Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower corpses but had also fully replenished his energy and stamina.
At this point, despite not having slept throughout the night, Liu Yan felt no fatigue. On the contrary, he was brimming with energy, sensing immense strength coursing through him, eager to unleash his power.
Liu Yan looked toward the mass of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers outside the Fire Elemental Domain and grinned. “You’ve all been waiting for me, haven’t you? Well, here I come!”
With that, Liu Yan directly dispelled the small Fire Elemental Domain he had maintained throughout the night.
