Cultivation: I Have a Skill Level Panel

Next,

Gu Yun erupted with unprecedented speed, streaking toward the distant horizon like a thunderbolt.

"Still not dead?!"

"Not dead, and you still dare to run?"

Gu Beichen immediately transformed into a streak of fire, his entire being like a meteor as he fiercely pursued Gu Yun.

From time to time, he would form hand seals, unleashing hundreds of terrifying fireballs that scorched space itself as they shot violently toward Gu Yun. But Gu Yun, with his thunderously swift, dragon-like movements, dodged every one.

Seen from a distance, it looked as if a figure of lightning in front was constantly flickering to evade the terrifying attacks from the meteor-like figure of fire behind it.

"Damn it!"

"This guy is a damn leech! He’s so persistent!"

"I swear, one day I’ll hunt him to the ends of the earth! I’ll blast him into ashes!"

Gu Yun cursed aloud as he glanced back at the relentlessly pursuing Gu Beichen.

Even though he had dodged most of the fireballs, he was still burned by the flames. The injuries weren’t severe, but they left him in a wretched state.

His robes were tattered, his body covered in wounds. He looked absolutely miserable.

"WHOOSH!"

All of a sudden, several more terrifying fireballs shot toward Gu Yun in a pincer attack.

Quick as lightning, Gu Yun instantly moved over a thousand feet, leaving only an afterimage in his place.

"BOOM!"

The afterimage was instantly annihilated by the colliding fireballs. A terrifying power erupted from the impact, seeming to incinerate the very void around it.

A powerful storm of True Yuan swept out in all directions, kicking up terrifying waves and tsunamis in the sea below!

Gu Yun dodged several more attacks at extreme speed before transforming into a streak of lightning and bolting into the distance. Behind him, Gu Beichen pursued like a meteor, showing no sign of giving up the chase.

Gu Yun didn’t dare relax for a second. His thunderous speed grew faster and faster, and with a single whoosh, he could cross thousands of feet.

When faced with a life-or-death crisis, a person’s full potential is completely unleashed.

[While fleeing for your life, you have used Three Thousand Thunder Flashes without reservation. Your body moves like startling thunder, swift as lightning. Three Thousand Thunder Flashes Skill Level +20%]

[While fleeing for your life, you have wholeheartedly used Three Thousand Thunder Flashes. Your body moves like startling thunder, swift as lightning. Three Thousand Thunder Flashes Skill Level +25%]

...

[In your life-or-death escape, you have used Three Thousand Thunder Flashes with your whole heart and soul, deepening your understanding of the technique. Three Thousand Thunder Flashes has broken through to the Perfection Realm!]

Suddenly, like a thunderbolt tearing through the sky, Gu Yun crossed tens of thousands of feet in an instant. His figure streaked across the heavens and vanished in a flash.

The distance between them grew wider and wider.

’Damn it, how can he be so fast!?’

Gu Beichen was shocked to see Gu Yun’s speed suddenly surge, the distance between them growing ever wider.

’I’m a True Martial Realm Eighth Layer expert! And I can’t even catch up to some kid at the True Martial Realm Fourth Layer? No one would believe it if I told them.’

Time slowly passed.

Gu Beichen came to a stop, hovering in the void. His profound gaze was fixed in the direction Gu Yun had fled, his expression utterly foul—so grim it was practically dripping with malice.

’Damn it all! He actually got away!’

Gu Beichen’s expression flickered uncertainly. ’If I had known, I would’ve just obliterated him instantly. If I hadn’t underestimated him, if I hadn’t held back my full power at the start...’

’How could I have let that brat escape?’

Then, his expression turned ugly once more. ’Now... how am I going to explain this to my master?’

’Sigh! I guess I’ll just put off telling him for now.’

’If I ever run into that kid again, he’s dead! I’ll kill him for sure!’

...

「Several days later.」

Gu Yun successfully escaped his pursuer and returned directly to the Profound Celestial Sect’s encampment on Starlight Island.

Gu Yun sat cross-legged within a Spiritual Energy Chamber dense with Spiritual Qi, his expression dark.

He thought back on the long chase, hunted by that bastard from the Ancient Nether Sect. He’d been pushed to his absolute limit, forced to flee like a beaten dog.

"Fucking hell, you better hope I don’t run into you again!"

Fortunately,

it wasn’t a total loss. The Technique he’d awakened from his Wind and Thunder Tribulation, Three Thousand Thunder Flashes, had reached the Perfection Realm. His speed had surged so dramatically that not even a True Martial Realm Eighth Layer expert could catch him.

"HUUFF..."

’First, heal. Then, cultivate.’

He still hadn’t used the extremely precious Purple Nether Glaze Fruit he’d obtained from Gu Yuan.

With this in mind, Gu Yun consumed a Lotus Dew Condensation Pill, sat down cross-legged, and began circulating his Cultivation Technique to recuperate.

While Gu Yun was healing,

the war with the Sea Race on the outside grew more and more intense.

On a medium-sized battlefield somewhere in the Lantai Sea Region, a fierce battle was unfolding. An area spanning hundreds of miles had been transformed into a giant meat grinder.

Corpses littered the ground, rivers of blood flowed, and the stench of gore filled the air.

Tens of thousands of cultivators from the Human Race and the Sea Race were locked in a deadly struggle on an island thousands of miles wide.

The prolonged, interwoven clashes of Spiritual Qi and True Yuan had completely flattened the once-lush forest of ancient, towering trees. Splintered and shattered trunks lay scattered across the desolate ground.

Cultivators from both the Human and Sea Races converged to battle on the island and in the surrounding waters. Bursts of Spiritual Qi and True Yuan exploded like brilliant fireworks, and terrifying attacks rained down from the sky.

The victorious lived, the defeated died.

In a corner of the fierce battlefield,

a True Martial Realm cultivator suddenly formed a series of hand signs, creating a profound Seal. Majestic True Yuan began to circulate, causing the very space around him to tremble.

An invisible power instantly permeated an area hundreds of feet in radius. The ground began to bulge, and countless vibrant green bamboo shoots erupted from the soil.

Like an army of long spears and sharp swords, they pierced the air, hurtling violently toward the Sea Race cultivators ahead!

...

「Half a month later.」

Gu Yun sat cross-legged in the Spiritual Energy Chamber. Thanks to several Healing Elixirs, his injuries had fully recovered, and his overall cultivation state had improved considerably.

With a wave of his hand, Gu Yun retrieved a palm-sized Jade Box from his Storage Ring. Inside was a Spirit Fruit that shimmered with a purple, ethereal light.

As the Jade Box opened, a faint, mysterious fragrance wafted through the air. A single whiff felt like it could loosen the bottleneck of one’s Realm and sublimate the spirit!

This was none other than the extremely precious Profound Tier Spiritual Medicine he had obtained from Gu Yuan: the Purple Nether Glaze Fruit.

’The fight with Gu Beichen proved I’m still too weak. If I were stronger, how could I have let him run so rampant!’

At this thought,

Gu Yun no longer hesitated. After bringing his body to its peak state, he placed the Purple Nether Glaze Fruit directly into his mouth.

The fruit melted the instant it entered his mouth, transforming into a searing torrent like molten lava.

It flowed down his throat toward his Dantian, the scorching heat feeling as if it would burn right through his gullet.

But to Gu Yun’s formidable Physique,

it was merely a scalding sensation.

Gu Yun circulated the Nine Tribulations Thunder Gang Decision, focusing all his effort on refining the majestic medicinal power of the Purple Nether Glaze Fruit that was now surging through his body!
