Cultivation: I Have a Skill Level Panel

Gu Yun's figure flickered and vanished, reappearing beside Li Xingyue at an astonishing speed.

He saw that Li Xingyue's clothes were tattered and torn, blood flowing from him unceasingly. He looked like a man sculpted from gore, clearly having suffered a grievous wound!

"Junior Brother, can you still move?" Gu Yun asked.

"I can't move."

"Thank you for coming to my rescue, Senior Brother. If you hadn't, I'm afraid I would have died here," Li Xingyue said with difficulty, his voice filled with gratitude.

Hearing this, Gu Yun nodded slightly. 'Indeed. If I had been even a moment later, this kid...'

With a wave of his hand, an Elixir shimmering with a faint green light appeared in his palm. He then flicked a finger, sending it straight into Li Xingyue's mouth.

"Junior Brother, take this Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill.

Your injuries should start healing quickly."

Hearing the name "Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill," Li Xingyue's eyes widened slightly.

A look of utter shock appeared on his face.

'The pill I just swallowed was actually a Profound Tier Upper Grade Elixir, the Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill!'

'A Healing Elixir of this quality would have a significant effect even on a True Martial Realm Ninth Layer expert!'

He then said gratefully to Gu Yun, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

The moment the Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill entered his body,

he could feel his shattered internal organs repairing themselves at an incredible speed.

A vast medicinal power surged through his Four Meridians and Eight Vessels.

Li Xingyue immediately endured the intense pain and began to circulate his Cultivation Technique.

Following this, his ruptured organs began to mend at an incredible pace.

The wounds on his body scabbed over, and the bleeding stopped!

At the same time, his body began to emit a faint green glow, appearing exceptionally bright in the dim surroundings!

Gu Yun's deep, dark eyes swept across the area, taking in the scene of total devastation.

Rows of buildings had collapsed into shattered husks, rubble littered the ground, and a thick haze of dust filled the air.

The ground itself had caved in, crisscrossed with fissures that resembled snarling dragons!!

At the same time, his Spiritual Sense swept out for dozens of miles, and he discovered that the residents of Chong'an City had no life auras at all.

And yet, they were standing, walking, and milling about, just as people normally would.

But every single person's face was fixed in a blissful smile, which was incredibly bizarre!!

...

「On a high mountain, extremely far from Chong'an City.」

The mountaintop was shrouded in a terrifying Demon Qi as black as ink.

A dilapidated, ancient Mountain God Temple stood on the peak, cutting an exceptionally eerie figure!!

Meanwhile,

beside the decrepit old Mountain God Temple grew an enormous ancient tree, its canopy draped with dangling vines and aerial roots.

The tree also emanated an incredibly dense and terrifying Demon Qi!!

This was a colossal Demon Tree!!

The Demon Tree had countless interwoven branches, each as thick as a barrel.

Below the branches grew a network of crisscrossing roots.

At the same time, arcane, vein-like patterns appeared on its bark.

Suddenly, a monstrous Demonic Qi erupted, instantly twisting the void. A terrifying Demonic Power radiated out invisibly, filling all who might feel it with utter horror!!

A vast, bizarre, and faintly visible face materialized in the sky above the Demon Tree!!

"Pei Hu and the others have been wiped out!"

A hoarse, muffled voice issued from the massive, bizarre face.

"It matters not!"

"It is almost time!!"

"Just a little more, and we will cross that threshold!!"

An extremely cold voice echoed from beneath the Demon Tree Body!!

"Mm! However,

that thing in the city is almost fully formed.

When the time is right, we will go and retrieve it!!"

The hoarse, grim voice came from the bizarre, massive face that had been condensed from the boundless Demon Qi above the Demon Giant Tree.

This was, shockingly, the same terrifying King Level Demon Giant Tree that Gu Yun had encountered years ago, the first time he had ever slain a Demon Fiend.

But now, after several years, this King Level Demon Fiend was on the verge of stepping into the Heaven-Reaching Tongxuan Realm!!!

...

「Chong'an City」

Demon Qi permeated the air.

The city's residents wore perpetual, bizarre smiles.

Yet they had no life aura whatsoever!

All of Chong'an City seemed to have transformed into a ghost town!!

The sky above was exceptionally dim, with dense, dark clouds pressing down as if they were about to crush the city, creating an intense, oppressive atmosphere!!

At this moment,

two figures in white robes walked down the street.

"Senior Brother!

This place is truly terrifying.

These residents...

I'm afraid not a single one of them is alive!!"

Li Xingyue, a Longsword on his back, said as his eyes swept over their surroundings.

Judging by his appearance,

after taking a precious Healing Elixir like the Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill,

although he wasn't fully healed, his injuries were undoubtedly much better!

His Cultivation had even improved slightly, reaching the level of True Martial Third Layer Peak!!

It was truly a blessing in disguise!

Gu Yun's deep, dark eyes swept over the city's residents, who moved like walking corpses.

His powerful Spiritual Sense probed for dozens of miles around them.

He had a gut feeling that this place was extremely dangerous.

Finally, he spoke slowly:

"This place... is not as simple as it seems."

In Gu Yun's eyes, these residents, devoid of any life aura, were like zombies.

The difference was that zombies would at least attack living people on sight, like frenzied predators spotting prey!!

The residents here, however, were far more bizarre. Their faces were frozen in blissful smiles that never wavered!!

Combined with the dim, gloomy surroundings, the scene was utterly macabre and genuinely terrifying!!

Suddenly,

a damaged, mysterious, and ancient Blood Stele stood in the city center.

Gu Yun and Li Xingyue saw the ancient Blood Stele once again.

Gu Yun's expression immediately darkened.

'We've been walking in circles, right back where we started.'

'It's easy to get in, but hard to get out!'

They were completely unable to fly out of the city.

It was as if an incredibly powerful Array surrounded all of Chong'an City!

"Junior Brother, I'm afraid we're trapped!"

Gu Yun said in a low voice after observing for a long while.

"Senior Brother, what do we do now?"

Li Xingyue nodded grimly and asked in a heavy tone.

"We'll take it one step at a time."

Gu Yun said calmly. Although the place was gloomy and utterly terrifying, he wasn't easily frightened.

Li Xingyue, on the other hand, was completely unafraid. With such a powerful senior brother by his side, his sense of security was soaring.

This time, the two of them headed straight for the damaged, mysterious, ancient Blood Stele in the heart of the city.

'This stele,' he thought, 'must be related to the sinister and bizarre phenomena in this place!'

...

「In the sky, not far from the Cang Mang Mountain Range.」

A man with a square face, dressed in a black Profound Robe and surrounded by a hazy glow imbued with the oppressive might of the Heaven and Earth Dao Rhythm, seemed to be teleporting through space. In a single instant, he crossed several thousand miles.

He simultaneously exuded an incredibly terrifying aura. The surrounding space simply couldn't withstand a might so infused with Dao and Technique!!

"I'm almost there!!"

"Brat,

prepare to die by my hand!!!"

After traversing space at incredible speed,

Jiang Qingfeng had traveled at top speed from the Celestial Capital Dynasty in the Northern Territory. He was now not far from the Cang Mang Mountain Range.

He carried with him a terrifying might; the mere leakage of his aura was enough to shatter the void itself.

Pitch-black rifts in the void, so dark one could not see their own hand, spewed forth terrifying astral winds, a horrifying sight to behold!!

Imbued with the Heaven and Earth Dao Rhythm and radiating a terrifying aura, Jiang Qingfeng hung in the sky like a baleful sun, pulsing with dreadful power!!
