Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Chapter 689: Chapter 617: Greed and Recruitment (Merged Chapter) (2)

The ram-headed monster actually swallowed all the attacks into its belly!

After swallowing all the attacks.

The originally pale white fur of the ram-headed monster turned bright white, each strand standing upright.

And its aura had an imperceptible increase, seemingly having digested all the recent attacks?

Seeing this, Lin Xuan’s team was dumbfounded.

Lou Yi threw a detection skill at it.

[Name: ?Ram-headed Demon?]

[Age: 418]

[Realm: High-tier Demon General]

[Talent: Devour]

[Attribute: Yin Element]

Devour: Can devour non-material energy and convert part of it for its own use…

Seeing the talent description of the opponent, Lou Yi whispered a warning: “Don’t use magic against it, use magic treasures!”

The Five Elements Magic, after all, is composed of formless energy, easily devoured by this demon’s talent.

“Alright!”

Upon hearing this, Elder Gui and others immediately released their spiritual artifacts; flying swords, staffs, horsetail whisks, all flashing with intense spiritual light.

Now the ram-headed monster dared not open its mouth and had to physically withstand the attacks.

But it was beaten to the point of howling, its body covered with various wounds.

Thick black-red blood constantly dripping, creating pits in the ground and issuing an ’sizzling’ corrosion sound.

’Bang!’

In its fury, its demonic power surged another level.

With brute force, it shattered the Seven Stars Array set up by Ding Shiniang, finally freeing itself.

But by that time, Lin Xuan and the others had already broken through the encirclement, vanished into the large area of gray fog that concealed their sight.

“Quickly, listen for their direction!”

Seeing the prey slip away, the ram-headed monster was so furious that it was smoking all over, instructing the black monkey underling.

“In that direction!”

The third ear on the black monkey’s neck twitched slightly, immediately pointing the ram-headed monster in the correct direction.

At the same time, it leaped onto the ram-headed monster’s shoulder, playing the role of a guide.

The ram-headed monster followed the black monkey’s guidance, crazily charging forward.

A massive body over fifty zhang, every step causing earth-shattering sounds.

“You can’t escape!” the ram-headed monster hissed.

But it hadn’t run far before letting out a muffled groan.

An upward-surging crimson flame instantly enveloped it.

Though it didn’t cause much harm, it made the fur of the ram-headed monster charred black, looking quite miserable.

“Treacherous humans!” the ram-headed monster roared.

But soon after, it again stepped into another array filled with numerous hard yellow earth spikes, without breaking through but stabbing its foot bottoms until red and painful.

“Damn!” The ram-headed monster kept stepping into the opponent’s array traps one after another, feeling somewhat apprehensive.

Though these two times didn’t cause big problems, what if the opponent prepares an extremely powerful array next time?

The black monkey’s ears were very sharp, yet it didn’t have foresight and couldn’t evade those disgusting array ambushes.

After being delayed by the array and with the ram-headed monster cautious and slowing down.

Lou Yi and his people finally escaped back to the Shisu District, each breathing a sigh of relief.

Every trench patrol guest in each district has the obligation to protect members, let alone the non-human ram-headed monster.

Though powerful, it also dared not easily intrude into the human district acting recklessly.

“Luckily we listened to Liu Shu’s advice and placed those array traps, or else we might not have escaped.”

“That ram-headed monster chased us like we killed its father!”

“But Liu Shu, how could you predict the ram-headed monster’s movement trajectory?” Lin Xuan asked curiously.

Lou Yi smiled: “I’m a body cultivator, naturally have strong instincts.”

“Treating me like a child?” Lin Xuan pouted somewhat displeased but didn’t pursue further.

Lou Yi smiled bitterly in his heart.

If these teammates knew that the ram-headed monster was primarily crazed trying to capture him, what would they think?

Elsewhere, the ram-headed monster stopped the chase with a gloomy face, knowing this action had completely failed.

“You can’t escape, such powerful bloodline… I will catch you, swallow you alive!” The ram-headed monster looked at the few following subordinates, casting a gloomy light into the air, forming a projection.

Clearly revealing the morphologies of Lou Yi and several others in the void, “Remember those humans’ faces? Find out which district they’re from.”

“Understood!” The white pig demon showed a flattering smile, “Master rest assured, with their appearances, with my old pig’s network, I can surely find out their district within three days!”

…

After returning to the Shisu District, Lin Xuan’s team resumed their previous monotonous and tedious days.

Every day either searching for spiritual creatures or clearing demons.

Of course, Lou Yi enjoyed it, clearly feeling his strength growing continuously.

This time helping Lin Xuan obtain Heaven and Earth Wonders, Ding Shiniang and Lin Xuan also fulfilled their promise.

The spiritual liquid portion that belonged to them each time would be given to Lou Yi, equating to him consuming the share of three people.

This greatly accelerated the refining progress of Lou Yi’s primary acupoint, Candle Dragon Acupoint, reaching a level of one acupoint (50/600), saving three years of hard work in just a few months.

Simultaneously, energy surpassed thirty thousand points, advancing the Knowledge Storage Technique to the Realm of Perfection.

After advancing Knowledge Storage Technique to the Perfection Level, more than 99.99% of the stars of the human universe dimmed.

Lou Yi only needs to find the true divine acupoint among less than 0.01% remaining stars.

Soon he found the third divine acupoint outside Candle Dragon and Hidden Dragon: Azure Dragon.

Discovering the remaining six acupoints would just be a matter of time, Lou Yi was confident they’d all be found within a year.

Of course, solving the discovery issue of acupoints didn’t make entail shortcuts for refining them.

Besides daily sacrifices, one can only rely on the spirituality produced by spiritual creatures to speed up progress.

Wanting to entirely divine-nize the nine acupoints, he estimated it would take several decades no matter what.

This was already extreme since Lou Yi faced no bottlenecks in cultivation.

Meaning in several decades, he could stably advance to the Profound Light Level, equal to the status of a Golden Core Master.

Many top sects’ Daoists in the Central Continent would likely be extremely envious hearing this.

But Lou Yi wasn’t satisfied at all.

’How can I achieve complete mastery in the current Martial Arts Realm within eight years? Or even advance to the next realm?’

Thinking of the threat from Cyan Wolf Ridge is akin to having a thorn in his side, making him unable to relax even for a moment.

The Supreme Elder of the Corpse-Driving Sect’s lifespan is nearing its end.

If Lou Yi couldn’t advance his cultivation to Profound Light, Golden Core levels within eight years, he could only watch the sect be exterminated.

By that time, the Great Elder, Master He, Elder Bi, Rong Xuejian…

Lou Yi shook his head, filtering out the negative thoughts in his mind; now he could only do his utmost, do as much as possible.

As the team wandered constantly in the Shisu District during this period, news of Golden Evil Child Lin Xuan’s breakthrough to the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform soon spread throughout the district.

A less than ninety-year-old Fourth Layer Spirit Platform, very likely to advance to the trench patrol guest level before a hundred.

His talent and intelligence truly the top tier within the Abyss.

Many teams actively befriended Lin Xuan’s team, even discussing jointly handling powerful spiritual creatures.

Lu Yun from the Vermillion Bird Sect who previously had intentions against the team even sent thirty top-grade spirit stones as a congratulatory gift to show goodwill.

A top-grade spirit stone is equivalent to a thousand lower-grade spirit stones; an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator might not have such wealth, thirty top-grade spirit stones are indeed abundant.

“That Lu Yun, he surely knows how to remedy.” Ding Shiniang rudely accepted the spirit stones, thanked the person sent by them with a grin, but coldly sneered upon returning to the cave.

“That prick, I’ll put him in his place someday; why did you accept his spirit stones?” Lin Xuan grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Lu Yun once showed inappropriate intentions towards the team.

If his and Ding Shiniang’s strength hadn’t been strong enough, it would have meant the demise of the team at that time.

Such a great feud, can’t be compensated by mere spirit stones?

“Accepting their spirit stones doesn’t mean we can’t deal with them?” Ding Shiniang retorted.

“Uh…” Lin Xuan expressed speechlessness.
