Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Chapter 462: Chapter 460: Stirring Up the Winds and Clouds

On the other side, seeing the demon army retreat, Lou Yi also calmed down and began to sort through the gains and losses of this battle.

’Right now, even though I’m only at the early stage of Martial Saint, ordinary mid-tier demon generals or mid-stage Foundation Establishment figures can be dealt with as easily as chopping fruits and vegetables.’

’However, mid-tier demon generals like the Water Demon with special bloodlines have real strength equal to ordinary high-tier demon generals. I am not their opponent yet, but at least I can protect myself now…’

After this battle, Lou Yi had a relatively clear understanding of his own strength.

And this is even when he hasn’t fully digested the gains from this battle.

Lou Yi looked at the attribute panel, which was already filled with dense notifications.

Randomly clicking on one.

’Discovered objects available for collection, choose one from the following three items:

Two hundred and sixty-seven points of energy

Slight enhancement of Wind Affinity

Talent: Swift Movement

Would you like to select?

’

Swift Movement: slightly enhances the body’s agility.

’This is obtained from the Golden Eagle Demon General.’ Lou Yi understood in his heart.

The Golden Eagle Demon General was the first demon general killed by Lou Yi in this battle.

Its cultivation was only at the initial tier of a demon general, but its speed was astonishing, routinely reaching four times the speed of sound, faster than most mid-tier demon generals.

Lou Yi naturally chose the Swift Movement talent without hesitation.

But as soon as the Swift Movement talent appeared on the attribute panel, a new prompt emerged: Spend one hundred points of energy to merge this talent with the Riding the Wind talent, would you like to proceed?

’Yes.’

In the next moment, the word Swift Movement disappeared, and the Riding the Wind talent slightly trembled.

The description did not change, but the speed increment was greater.

Lou Yi’s original speed was three times the speed of sound, but now it reached 3.3 times, an increase of ten percent.

And besides the Swift Movement talent from the Golden Eagle, the Wasp Demon also provided a similar fast speed talent.

After being engulfed by the Riding the Wind talent, Lou Yi’s speed increased again, reaching 3.5 times the speed of sound!

At Lou Yi’s current realm, every point of speed breakthrough results in a noticeable increase in strength.

At 3.5 times the speed of sound, Lou Yi was confident enough to roam freely in front of the Hill Giant and Water Demon without being captured.

Killing the Pangolin Demon gave him the Red Armor talent.

This is a talent enhancing physical strength, engulfed by a similar Petrification talent, further increasing Lou Yi’s physical strength to be closer to a top-grade spiritual artifact.

In addition, the Mirage Demon brought him a special talent: Illusions.

Illusions: can resonate mentally with others, weaving fictional scenes.

After entering the Illusions talent.

Lou Yi found that his originally Great Success Level in array initial understanding actually transformed instantly into the Perfection Level!

Illusions are also a type of array, driving Lou Yi’s array cultivation to advance rapidly to a Perfection Realm hardly ever reached in the Corpse-Driving Sect’s history.

Besides the major demon generals, Lou Yi killed an uncountable number of ordinary little demons.

Lou Yi’s energy, which reached rock bottom after breaking through Martial Saint, skyrocketed, reaching over twenty thousand.

Not to mention, since many of the little demons were Yin element creatures.

Lou Yi’s Yin Affinity increased by hundreds of times!

Feeling a coolness in his mind, Lou Yi took out the spirit measuring mirror, which he had not yet returned to Bi Yaoyao.

It looked almost like an ordinary copper mirror, with lots of rust on it.

Reflecting his face, the mirror showed an irregular stone composed of small honeycomb-like particles.

Most of the particles were dim grey, with only one corner holding inconspicuous blue color.

While the dark-colored particles in the left region represent Yin Element talent, astonishingly occupying over 20%!

’Upper Grade Spirit Root, finally.’ Lou Yi felt emotional.

Up to this day, with the aggressive push from the attribute panel and his relentless effort, he had finally become a true cultivation genius.

Upper Grade Spirit Roots were rare, with only two people among hundreds of disciples at his time, namely You Qingyi and the now-deceased Wang Wenbai, showing how scarce they were.

And for those with Upper Grade Spirit Roots, the hope to break through Foundation Establishment is several times higher than that of ordinary people.

Lou Yi looked at the attribute panel, where the prompt behind Profound Yin Technique indicated that his Qi Cultivation proficiency reached three points a day.

At this rate, in less than a month, he could advance to the Qi Cultivation Fifth Level.

Even the subsequent Qi Cultivation Sixth Level wouldn’t take more than a year.

However, there are differences among Upper Grade Spirit Roots, not to mention the rarer-than-ever Seen Super Grade Spirit Roots above, with nearly no bottleneck in breaking through Foundation Establishment.

The Corpse-Driving Sect at the time encountered one, but was hijacked by the Red Sun Sect halfway.

’Keep killing Yin element monsters and see when I’ll reach the Super Grade Spirit Root level.’ Lou Yi thought to himself.

Qi Cultivation is his weakness, but it doesn’t mean it cannot be strengthened.

If he could break through to Foundation Establishment Level in the future, he would be a dual cultivation of martial arts and magic, with strength at a higher level.

In the following days, Lou Yi continued to ambush around the outskirts of Huai City.

Every time the demon clan tried to besiege the city.

He would release the high-tier martial arts skill Celestial Eagle Transformation in the demon clan’s rear, then flee, and release it again elsewhere, completely random, without pattern.

The two great experts, Hill Giant and Water Demon, developed an unprecedented intent to kill Lou Yi.

But their speed was insufficient, leaving them helpless against Lou Yi.

Other demon generals, each possessed a fear of Lou Yi, daring not to approach easily.

The many previous corpses of their kind relentlessly reminded them that those below the level of mid-tier demon generals were merely providing food for Lou Yi.

The demon army’s multiple attacks on the city were easily thwarted by Lou Yi alone.

Even later, the demon clan couldn’t even rest peacefully while stationed, repeatedly attacked by Lou Yi, leading to many little demons dying in their dreams.

The demon clan began a massive rout, unable to be stopped even by Hill Giant and Water Demon.

Let alone besieging a city, maintaining sufficient troop numbers became difficult.

“Though the Red Hero deserves death, we can’t restrict him, we need reinforcements,” the Hill Giant’s voice thundered.

As confident and powerful as it was, it had to admit it was helpless against Lou Yi.

“Let the three-headed lion clan chief come over, only it can capture the Red Hero!” the Water Demon suggested.

And upon hearing the name of the three-headed lion clan, all demon generals showed joyful expressions.

The three-headed lion clan, with noble ancient sacred clan bloodline, stands out in the demon clan in same-tier combat power, even rivaling elite of wolf clan in Cyan Wolf Ridge.

Importantly, the three-headed lion clan possesses astonishing speed, compensating for the shortcomings of Hill Giant and Water Demon.

“With the help of the three-headed lion clan, Red Hero will surely die!” A cruel voice emerged among the demon generals.

“Reach out to other clans, with Red Hero alive, we can never progress forward!”

“The next meeting will be his death date!”

In Zhao Kingdom, somewhere in the desert, the secret underground camp of the Yellow Springs Sect.

A sound filled with anger rose here as well.

“We must kill the Red Hero! Without killing him, those fools in the demon clan won’t make any progress!”

“Red Hero is elusive, what can be done?”

“Then ask the Fortuneteller to come forward.”

“Would the Fortuneteller agree? He always refrains from participating in these matters…”

“Rest assured, I have a way, he can’t refuse.”

“Good, if the Fortuneteller can make a move, Red Hero’s so-called stealth attacks would be a joke!!”

Constantly thwarting the demon clan and Yellow Springs Sect’s schemes, Lou Yi truly became a thorn in their side, an irritant in their flesh.

An overwhelming, unseen powerful undercurrent surged towards Lou Yi.
