True Martial World - Chapter 465: Playing to the Gallery

"I actually failed to meet the mark?"

The majestic youth muttered as if he could not accept reality. It was too great of a blow.

The Great Empress mystic realm could give out six different titles as evaluations. All the cultivators present knew the prowess of the ancient Great Empress, so no one had any hopes of obtaining the highest title, including the majestic youth.

However, he did not even obtain the lowest title of "Knight", let alone one of the higher titles like "Sage" or "Soul".

No rating was given to him because his strength was too terrible!

"Haha, your Heavenly Light Island sure got embarrassed!"

Someone mocked from within the crowd. They were rivals of the Heavenly Light Island. Although they mocked him as the majestic youth had made a fool of himself, it still made people understand that the standards of the ancient Great Empress were more exaggerated than they had imagined! noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"Let me do it!"

This time, a girl came forward. She was naturally confident enough in herself to step forward.

However, no miracle happened after she wrote her name in blood on the crystal pillar. Her evaluation was also ‘Failed to meet the mark’.

With that, everyone turned a bit dumbfounded. Those who were laughing at the majestic youth also shut up at this point.

With two people consecutively obtained such results, this made them have a deeper understanding of the difficulty that lied in the evaluation.

They were all proud children of heaven, and were the top figures in their own factions, yet when they came to the Great Empress mystic realm, they only received setbacks.

"I do not believe it. Was the martial arts culture so much stronger in ancient times?"

A black-dressed girl said with a frown. She was Panther Lady.

Next to Panther Lady stood another woman dressed in black. She looked somewhat like Panther Lady, but her body was even more voluptuous. She was also more mature than Panther Lady, as she was Panther Lady's elder sister.

"I will give it a try!"

Seeing Panther Lady's elder sister stepping forward to give it a try, everyone looked forward to it. Many of them knew this woman. Her talent was higher than that of Panther Lady, so she was definitely one of the best amongst them.

The black-dressed woman used her sharp nails to slash open her palm, writing down her name.

The ancient relic's light beams gathered towards the black-dressed woman's name. As the flow of light beamed, in the end, it did not disperse this time, and instead slowly formed a shape, before gradually forming a complex word...

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes lit up.

With the black-dressed woman's talent, there was finally an evaluation!

People stared unblinkingly. With a benchmark, they would have the ability to compare themselves to it.

"Knight!"

When the words formed in front of everyone's eyes, people turned silent. The black-dressed woman was only a Knight...

Those whose strength was inferior to the black-dressed woman momentarily lost any courage to step forward.

"Young Master Nantian, amongst everybody, you and Lin Xintong have the highest talent. If it is you, you should obtain a pretty good evaluation from the mystic realm, right?"

Someone said to Shentu Nantian.

The moment he said that, everyone's eyes immediately fell onto Shentu Nantian.

Shentu Nantian was one of the top figures in the Tian Yuan world. His evaluation would be very persuasive.

As long as they knew Shentu Nantian's evaluation, they would have a good idea over what their result would be.

Shentu Nantian slightly frowned. He too did not know what sort of results he would obtain. And at that moment, a black figured flashed. A thin youth had jumped over to the crystal pillar like a monkey as he giggled, "I'll try it first! Ha!"

People gave a closer look to see that it was the swarthy dark youth that came from unknown origins.

"That bumpkin! Is he trying to mess things up? Who does he think he is!?"

Many people cursed. This swarthy youth gave others the impression of a clown. He was even inferior to Yi Yun.

The swarthy youth turned a deaf year to the mockery of the people. As he smiled, he bit his finger and wrote down his name on the crystal pillar in a slow fashion.

His words were not neat. The strokes were all jagged, like a crab's crawl.

And the most important thing was that the words he wrote were not only ugly, no one could recognize it.

"What word is that?"

The young elites present were knowledgeable, but they still looked at each other. No one could read it.

"He could not have written it wrongly, right?"

Someone mocked.

Yi Yun narrowed his eyes. For a person to reach this point, he naturally could not have written his name wrong. This swarthy youth's identity was getting more and more intriguing.

Although the swarthy youth's words were weird, the flow of light from the crystal pillar still gathered behind the name.

Yi Yun held his breath. He was interested to know what the swarthy youth's talent was.

However, to Yi Yun's surprise, after the flow of light flashed a few seconds, it dissipated.

Evaluation results: Failed to meet the mark!

"What?"

Yi Yun was shocked. He had a feeling that this swarthy youth was no ordinary person. This was what he felt, maybe because of his sensitivity to energy.

In his mind, this swarthy youth's talent should have exceeded "Knight". He even thought that it might exceed it by more than one grade. However, the result only left Yi Yun scratching his head.

Was he mistaken?

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry… I didn't expect it to be this hard..." The dark-skinned lad scratched his head as he retreated with a silly laugh. However, he was not sad at all, and in fact said with an open mind, "I'll just treat it as throwing out a brick so as to draw pieces of jade! Ha!"

"That idiot! His head must have been kicked by a donkey!"

Some people could not bear to watch him.

"He is just playing to the gallery. There is no lack of such people. There is no need to care about him!"

"For us to participate in this expedition with this dark-skinned kid and reach this point means our evaluation is about the same. It is so disgraceful..."

A bunch of elites like them had the same strength as such a retard.

"This kind of person gets more excited the more you talk about him. Young Master Nantian, please show us what you got!"

"That's right, young master. Go up and open our eyes!" The Shentu youth from before who wanted to kill Yi Yun chimed in excitedly.

However at that moment, Shentu Nantian swept over him with a gloomy gaze.

Shentu Nantian did indeed not have much confidence in this talent’s evaluation. If it was in the past, Shentu Nantian would have been somewhat confident, but now...

Half a year ago, Yi Yun fed him the Seven Noxious Divine Yin Pill, causing a great deal of damage to his strength. Even though he had used many treasures, he had not fully recovered.

Others were improving and their cultivations were skyrocketing by the day.

Shentu Nantian however had yet to recover his strength. In the past 6 months, he had only recovered about 80%.

"I have been nourished for so long after all… Even though it is not my peak standard, I should still be much stronger than the others."

Shentu Nantian took a deep breath and walked before the crystal pillar. With two fingers, he slashed his palm and began writing his name.

His words were elegant and contained sword Qi. It was as if every stroke was carved out by a sword.

True Martial World - Chapter 464: Failed to meet the mark

No one bothered about the failures. The people in the light dome had already successfully passed the second trial, but they were not satisfied. To many amongst them, they did not want a simple pass, they wanted to see their end result.

The Great Empress mystic realm would have an results evaluation after every trial.

Passing the trial was just the minimum requirement. If a person barely passed from beginning to end, he was destined not to obtain the Great Empress' heritage, nor would he be able to enter the Great Empress vault.

"I wonder what my result will be..."

Shentu Nantian looked at the crystal pillar. It was most likely that the second trial's results would be displayed on the pillar in front of them.

Shentu Nantian was counting on the second trial’s results to turn things around!

For the first trial, Shentu Nantian was actually quite satisfied with his performance, but compared to Yi Yun, his results were a joke.

"The second trial, end of the preliminary test!"

At that moment, the cold voice echoed in the square. People were stunned. What? Preliminary test?

The mental demons trial was just a preliminary test? Then, there was another test? What would the next test be?

The Great Empress mystic realm seemed to have expected their questions as the voice carried on, "The second trial, the topic of the main test, cultivation!"

Cultivation?

The participants were confused, and at that moment, information was sent into the heads of every cultivator. They finally understood the entire process of the second trial.

Actually, the second trial had just begun!

The preliminary test was a test on mental demons. It was to assess how the cultivators could handle their mental demons. For a warrior who wanted to climb to the peak of martial arts, it was naturally important for them to be able to withstand their mental demons.

But for a future peerless Great Emperor, mental demons were not the most important.

To become a Great Emperor, two things were essential, talent and fated luck.

Fated luck was hard to test. As for talent, it was the speed of cultivation to a large extent.

Under a normalized situation, letting every cultivator in the Great Empress mystic realm use the various resources in the mystic realm to cultivate and then compare whose strength had increased the most!

This was the real second trial!

As for the mental demons test from before, other than testing the cultivator’s handling of their mental demons, there was another point, and that was for the Great Empress mystic realm to record everyone's present strength level.

After the cultivators entered the door of light, they had faced real illusion formations which could test everyone's strength.

Even Lin Xintong had experienced battles in the illusion formations in her dreams.

"So it's a test of cultivation speed!"

"There's still such a test… Then, it will last a very long time, right?"

People never expected the Great Empress mystic realm to set up such a test which was surprising.

"Cultivation speed… that is my talent. I have never feared competing in talent."

Shentu Nantian chuckled as he was brimming with confidence. Gongsun Hong, Panther Lady and several other geniuses also had absolute confidence in their talent.

They began cultivating at an early age, and they had advanced rapidly. Their peers could never catch up with them.

At that moment, the cold voice echoed again, "Your cultivation site will be the God Advent Tower! Now, each of you will be given a talent strength rating!"

"Now, on the crystal pillar, use your blood to write your name!"

As the voice spoke, the crystal pillar suddenly flashed as the numerous crystals on the pillar began to shine from top to bottom.

Seeing the crystal pillar, a majestic youth laughed loudly, "Writing my name and get a strength ranking. Hahaha! I like that!"

He was already eager to try it.

Talent strength rating? Yi Yun rubbed his chin. He had undergone a similar test during the Jin Long Wei selection. It was done by considering the combination of one's strength and age. With the same strength, the younger person would have a higher rating.

Of course, this time the standards were completely different the Jin Long Wei selections.

The Great Empress's standards were naturally much higher.

And at that moment, the crystal pillar's sparkling lights slowly dimmed down. The rays eventually formed bloody characters on the crystal pillar.

These words were written in a complex but unsophisticated manner. It was the most ancient font in the Tian Yuan world. However, the young elites present knew how to read ancient books, so they could recognize it.

The words went from bottom upwards. They were:

"Knight"! "Grandmaster"! "Soul"! "Sage"! "Shura"! "Canonized God"!

There were a total of six words. People could vaguely understand that these were the titles of the talent ratings the ancient Great Empress used!

Clearly, the higher the titles, the higher the talent.

People looked at the top titles of "Shura" and "Canonized God" with fiery eyes.

The ancient Great Empress's titles did not have "Emperor" in it, so no one knew what the standard was. Even if there was an "Emperor" title, the "Emperor" used by the Great Empress was probably different from the current standard of Great Emperor, so there was no value as a reference.

To know one's strength, one had to write one's name down.

"I wonder what my rating would be?"

Shentu Nantian looked at the titles right at the top as his eyes exuded ambition and desire. Of course he wanted to obtain "Shura", as for "Canonized God", he too knew that it was very difficult to obtain.

What sort of figure was the ancient Great Empress? The standards she imposed were extremely elusive.

Maybe, just getting a "Sage" would be very impressive.

And at that moment, there was a person who eagerly rushed to the crystal pillar. This person was the majestic youth who had laughed loudly just now.

"Everyone, I, from the family of Song will go first! Haha!"

The majestic youth cupped his hands at his surroundings and laughed loudly as he used a dagger to cut his palm. Then, he waved his hand and he was in no way stingy with his blood as he wrote his name on the crystal pillar with his bloody palm. Every word was the size of an alms bowl. It was written very majestically!

If this was not a crystal pillar passed down from ancient times and it was made of ordinary metal, the metal would probably be pierced through with the strength he was writing his words with!

After he wrote down his name, the crystal pillar flashed. The flow of light gathered behind the youth's name, as if it was forming a word.

However… no matter how the light shined, the flow of light could not form a shape. After a while, this flow of light seemed to lose its inhibitions and then, it dissipated. Finally, there was nothing left behind the majestic youth's name.

"Oh?"

The majestic youth was stunned momentarily. He had not managed to react in time to how high his rating was.

But at that moment, the Great Empress mystic realm's cold voice echoed, "Strength grade: None! Talent rating: Failed to meet the mark!"

What!?

The Great Empress mystic realm's voice seemed to be like a bolt of lightning striking the majestic youth's body. His body went stiff for he was completely dumbfounded.

Failed to meet the mark!?

Limitless - Chapter 245: Heart Devouring Worm

"Yes, I placed it on her, since you can resolve it, don’t you know the rules of the business?" The middle aged man’s gaze fixated on Chu Yu. He frowned, "Your appearance changing techniques are good. If not for the fact that I have a connection with the Deathly Poisonous Worm, it would be difficult for me to find you."

　

Chu Yu’s heart chilled, F*ck me, this guy must be a guru on worms.

He knew that the worm would have a mystical connection with its owner.

But he had already used the techniques in the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture to rid the link between the worm and the owner.

But it was not enough.

He was slightly exasperated. The Crane Saint was a master of almost all the medicines, but he was not a master in every field.

At the very least, he was not very good with worms.

The ticking time bomb had finally exploded.

"I am not from your trade." Chu Yu said.

"The fact that you can remove my Deathly Poisonous Worm... no, the fact that you know that it was a Deathly Poisonous Worm and could find it shows that you are pretty good at this."

The middle aged man looked on mockingly, "If you tell me you’re not from the trade, do you think I’ll believe you?"

"That’s up to you." Chu Yu’s injuries were severe. This guy was quite vicious.

It was a good thing he did not use bugs, or Chu Yu would be in even more trouble.

As he thought about it, the middle aged man looked at Chu Yu mockingly, "Also, you have already been poisoned by me, if you wish to live, hand over the Deathly Poisonous Worm."

　

Chu Yu was taken aback, Have I really been poisoned?

I don’t think so?

He used the techniques in the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture to check himself out.

His heart sank.

This man was not lying!

　

He had been poisoned!

A worm no larger than a speck of dust was lying on his heart!

Chu Yu’s expression turned ugly.

If not for the techniques in the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture, he would not even know of this worm’s existence.

His opponent was incredibly powerful.

This worm must have been carried by the ray of light which penetrated his chest.

"How? Do you feel anything?"

The middle aged man did not know that Chu Yu had the ability to find out where the worm was. He wore a faint smile as he looked at Chu Yu, "Do you have no feeling of it? Actually, your pill refining skills, as well as your experience, place you amongst the very best. The fact that you could tell that the Deathly Poisonous Worm was there, find it, and control it, tells me that you have great worm control skills. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Chu Yu looked at him coldly.

The middle aged man’s smile was faint, "However, the worm that I have placed inside your body is much more powerful than the Deathly Poisonous Worm!"

　　

"Can I ask you a question?" Chu Yu suddenly asked.

In his heart, he was trying to find a way to save himself.

There were too many powerful people, each of them adept at different techniques.

　

This man was only a True Lord in here.

But his skills were definitely not that of a True Lord.

He looked at Chu Yu, "Don’t try to resolve it. Let me tell you the truth, if you want to use your internal energy to neutralize it, you will only cause yourself more pain. Try it if you don’t believe me."

Then, he looked at Chu Yu calmly and confidently, "Ask away."

In his view, he had completely control of this man.

　　

He never wanted to kill Chu Yu. He knew that Chu Yu’s pill refining skills were extraordinary!

The True Soul Pills that he refined could allow a pinnacle True Lord, stuck there for aeons, breakthrough to the Divine Lord Realm.

　　

This was proof that Chu Yu was using a saint’s technique!

　

Else, an ordinary pill refiner, even a guru, may not have such abilities.

　

He wanted Chu Yu to be his pill slave!

Chu Yu was now infected with his Heart Devouring Worm. Even a Divine Lord would obediently be his slave if infected by one of this.

They were not even in control of their own life and death!

　

Chu Yu’s injuries were too severe. He had so much trouble standing he chose to sit.

He looked at the middle aged man with indifference, "Liu Yuyan is such an ordinary girl, why did you have to use the Deathly Poisonous Worm on her? Of course, I must admit that she is pretty and talents. With the right resources, she would not be worse than any of the talents in the superior schools."

Chu Yu was breathless after saying so much, his injuries taking a toll on him.

There was always somebody better.

This was the problem he was just thinking about. Chu Yu had no fear going up against his peers in the Mirror World, even if they were one whole realm more powerful than him.

But what about the older generation? The ones above them? What about the seniors?

But he didn’t expect to be faced with this worry so quickly.

He felt like he had just f*cked a dog, how unlucky.

"Her? Ordinary girl? Pretty? Talented?"

This man replied with a string of questions, then looked coldly at Chu Yu, "Since you’re already my pill slave, I can tell you this. You’ve spoilt my plan!"

　

As he spoke, his expression darkened, "Do you think that the Deathly Poisonous Worm can only make someone sleep? Seal a saint?"

　

Chu Yu frowned, "Isn’t that it?"

"Of course not!" The middle aged man looked icily at Chu Yu, "The Deathly Poisonous Worm that I placed on her would let her sleep for a hundred years. It will extract her dreams over the century and improve my mental energy by 10 times!"

"10 times!"

"Do you know what that means?"

The middle aged man’s expression became ferocious, even thirsty.

"I finally found such a great specimen. I spent over 1000 years looking for someone like that! And who are you to destroy my plan?"

Chu Yu’s mouth twitched, "Why not just plant another one?"

"Rubbish!" The middle aged man raged, "If it was that simple, why would I go through all the trouble of finding you? Damn it, firstly, the Deathly Poisonous Worm must have never absorbed anything from other life forms. I required various superior medicines and care for 500 years to create a dream realm for the host."

"Next, the host’s body is very special and can only be attached on once! Once, do you understand? For example, when the mask on that lady is broken, it’s gone! Idiot!"

Chu Yu rolled his eyes, "You can repair it."

"Scram!"

The middle aged man threw his sleeves and smacked Chu Yu, causing Chu Yu to spit out two mouthfuls of blood.

He landed on the border of the Immortal Refining Land.

"If not for the fact that you are useful, I will shred your body right now! You can’t even begin to understand my hate and anger now!"

The middle aged man glared at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu had never heard about the fact that the Deathly Poisonous Worm could absorb someone’s dreams.

What a scary thought!

Even though he did not know Liu Yuyan’s body makeup, he knew that it must be quite extraordinary.

"I am the Worm Lord! Worm Lord, do you understand? After an entire lifetime, I finally had the opportunity to become a saint using this, yet you destroyed it! Tell me, should I kill you?" The middle aged man looked at Chu Yu, huffing and puffing, "Killing you will not quell my hatred. The only way is if you become my pill slave and refine pills for me! Forever!"

"If I feel like it, I will hit you, even if I don’t feel like it! I will torture you for life, make you beg for death. And, you will still refine pills for me!"

"How scary." Chu Yu murmured.

"Do you finally know fear?" The middle aged man laughed. His smile was even more terrifying than the darkest forests. He waved his hand, "Stop sitting there, stand up and come with me"

"Can this worm be destroyed?" Chu Yu asked suddenly.

The middle aged man laughed, "Destroyed? This is the Heart Devouring Worm! The King of the ancient world! Once it is inside your body, no matter how powerful you are, you can forget about destroying it!"

"What if you die?" Chu Yu asked.

"Then you will die too." The middle aged man smiled.

"How vicious... is there no solution at all?" Chu Yu said, visibly depressed.

"Of course there is."

The middle aged man looked at Chu Yu mockingly.

"Mm? There is?" Chu Yu’s eyes glowed with a fire of hope.

The middle aged man laughed and raised two fingers, "Two ways, one, I retrieve this worm, but that’s impossible!"

"And the second?" Chu Yu asked.

"Second, the Immortal Refining Land behind you, hahahaha, if you have the courage to enter, the Immortal Refining Land will turn you into ash! Once you enter, I will lose control of the Heart Devouring Worm. Once you die, the worm will die too."

The middle aged man looked on happily.

He had experimented with worms for countless years to become a Worm Lord!

He had countless slaves under him, none of them dared to betray him.

The Immortal Refining Land did offer a quick escape, but who would choose death over life?

　

At least, in the many years he had been cultivating, he had used worms to control all sorts of people, from the timid ones, to the passionate, courageous ones. Yet, none of them had escaped his control.

Yet this time, to the back of Chu Yu was the Immortal Refining Land. If he he dared to walk in, I would...

Hmm?

The middle aged man stared widely. He was in disbelief! The blood covered youth hanging on to the last straw of life was actually turning around and walking into the Immortal Refining Land!

F*ck me!

Does he really have the courage to die!

In that moment, he tried to retrieve the Heart Devouring Worm.

Just like he said, once Chu Yu entered the Immortal Refining Land, he would lose control of the Heart Devouring Worm!

"Come back!"

The middle aged man bellowed.

　　

Chu Yu turned and smiled at him, "You said that the Immortal Refining Land will destroy your worm."

"Are you tired of living?" The middle aged man raged.

"Nope, I’m having the time of my life now, why would I be tired of living? Even though I am bearing unimaginable stress, I still want to continue living." Chu Yu said flatly.

At this point, rays of energy were hitting Chu Yu’s body.

Chu Yu’s body was being gnawed away, bit by bit.

But Chu Yu’s expression did not change. He looked calmly at the middle aged man, "But I rather die than be controlled by you. Become your pill slave? Go f*ck yourself!"

Limitless - Chapter 244: The burden is too great

Xie Qing had temporarily lost her battle powers and her youthful admirer was also critically injured.

This was just the start!

Chu Yu’s power had stunned these people.

Their gazes towards Chu Yu became increasingly solemn.

The Celestial Fox cheered on, "Good battle, what a bunch of dogs, trash! If you’re good enough, come at me!"

　

The remaining six cultivators formed a protective circle around Xie Qing and that young cultivator.

Afterwhich, four cultivators rushed at Chu Yu and attacked without saying anything!

　　

These four attacked with their most powerful sacred arts!

The entire space around them was shaken by the battle.

These were four True Lord cultivators. Even though they were inexperienced in battle, they were still extremely powerful.

Chu Yu was under immense pressure and was injured quickly.

The area of effect was too great. Even though Chu Yu’s Racing Sacred Art was too fast for them to lock onto him, it made no difference.

Chu Yu was losing blood quickly and he could feel the armor on his body being shredded.

Thanks to his armor, he was not critically injured.

"F*ck me, they are so powerful, let’s run!"

Seeing Chu Yu injured, the Celestial Fox quickly used the Voice Transmission Technique to tell Chu Yu.

　

Chu Yu ignored it. He maximized the potential of his Racing Sacred Art and pummeled one of the True Lord cultivators.

He looked like a man possessed!

The blood aura from his body was strong like the raging sun!

It exuded an oppressive aura.

He let the other cultivators attack him, he was locked onto this man.

The young True Lord cultivator he was chasing was going crazy.

"Why are you chasing me?"

"Because you’re weak!"

Chu Yu bellowed, attacking with both the Yin Yang Creation Fist and the Bagua Soul Refining Palm!

With the Superclass refining and combining these sacred arts, as well as the pressure of a life and death situation, these attacks were incredibly terrifying.

This True Lord was completely smashed by Chu Yu!

His body split into many parts!

Even his True Lord Nascent God was shattered!

　　

He was injured by the Bagua Soul Refining Palm, then killed by the life and death power of the Yin Yang Creation Fist!

At this point, Chu Yu was covered with blood.

He looked like a man possessed and this terrified the three remaining True Lord cultivators.

They screamed in terror, turned and ran!

They ran in the most humiliating fashion.

The two people guarding Xie Qing and the critically injured cultivator picked them up and ran away without turning back.

They retreated very quickly.

"F*ck me!"

The Celestial Fox was in awe.

"What?" It stared at Chu Yu, "I feel that your current battle power is getting closer and closer to the truly powerful talents!"

‘But I’m still not there yet huh?" Chu Yu smiled bitterly.

The Celestial Fox suddenly turned solemn and told Chu Yu, "By comparison, you have cultivated for too little time and don’t have the foundation they have. Even if you have used saint’s techniques to cultivate, you lack the time and guidance of the powerful individuals they have. You must understand that."

Then, it continued, "To be honest, your current battle power is already much better than what I expected. Even though the disciples of the superior schools are jerks, they really only lack the battle experience. To be honest, they are not weak, or at least not as weak as how I mock them."

　　

"You’re saying, I’m still alright?" Chu Yu smiled, then grit his teeth. His injuries from this battle were not light.

"What alright? You’re pretty powerful!" The Celestial Fox looked at Chu Yu, "You’ve surpassed all my expectations. In a 1v8 fight, it’s a miracle you’re able to come out victorious."

"Why do I feel like you’re comforting me?" Chu Yu glanced at the Celestial Fox.

"Is it that obvious?" The Celestial Fox felt a little guilty.

"F*ck..." Chu Yu pointed his middle finger at it.

However, the anxiety and depression he was feeling lessened.

But it was not gone.

Even though Chu Yu had took the Mirror World by storm and defeated all these talents handedly, this did not mean much.

The superior schools of the Mirror World had a new batch of students every decade or so.

Each batch will have its own set of stunning talents.

The current era was just a single batch.

What about the batch before them? Or the one before that?

They were also youthful powers!

When faced with those people, can he still smash them in this manner?

　　

What about the talents in the ancient legacies that don’t enter schools?

　　

They may be unknown, but who would dare call them weak?

Perhaps even Yan Xudong, the top cultivator of the Mirror World, would not dare antagonize them easily?

Just like what the Celestial Fox said, he may be learning a saint’s technique, but so are they. Furthermore, he lacked the guidance of teachers. Their teachers may be Divine Lords or even Legendary Emperors!

They could even be saints!

　

What kind of environment did you grow up in? What kind of environment did they grow up in?

　　

Based on resources alone, Chu Yu already lost out to them by a huge margin!

　　

The top talents must have unparalleled confidence, but they cannot blindly think that they are the best.

That’s why, Chu Yu’s heart was still filled with anxiety.

He grinded and trained like a man possessed, even the Celestial Fox was terrified.

The major problem was still that he had been cultivating for too short a period of time.

Even though the bloodline of disciples from the Village of Cultivation were extraordinary, how can someone who had been cultivating for less than 20 years every compete with those who had been cultivating for centuries, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years?

The day the Mirror World had a path into the Solar System, it would be a real catastrophe!

Chu Yu did not want this catastrophe to happen, so he trained manically.

Only after his interaction with the Celestial Fox did he begin to calm down.

This was not him giving up, or comforting himself.

He could not hold the Village of Cultivation alone.

60 million years ago, the ancestors of the Solar System had helped to beat back the enemy, 60 million years later, he believed that they will return!

　

And as long as he didn’t mess up and did what he needed to do, that would be sufficient.

Seeing Chu Yu think things through, the Celestial Fox heaved a sigh of relief.

It said, "Don’t put too much pressure on yourself."

Chu Yu nodded.

The Celestial Fox continued, "Think about it, if you were just an ordinary youth without any cultivation experience, what would you be doing?"

"Marrying many wives and have them bear me many offspring, what else can I do?" Chu Yu rolled his eyes.

Such a life was mere days away for him back in the day!

The Celestial Fox rolled its eyes and murmured, "How unambitious... but, look at yourself, isn’t that the case? As your abilities grow, your responsibility increases. Even though this is the truth, right now, you’re only able to carry a mountain but you want to carry an entire planet, isn’t it tiring?"

"Tiring..."

Chu Yu sighed and murmured, "How can it not be tiring?"

The Celestial Fox seemed to want to say something. Then, its fur straightened and it exclaimed, "Not good!"

Before the Celestial Fox alerted him, Chu Yu already felt something was amiss and lunged to the side.

Bang!

A ray of light impacted Chu Yu’s shoulder.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere!

Even his white bones were charred!

This was a sacred art!

And an incredibly powerful one at that.

Anyone who entered the Devastated World, even saints, would be suppressed to the power of True Lord.

However, his opponent’s sacred art was way too powerful.

The pain in his shoulder awakened Chu Yu and he tumbled around, dodging the second, third and fourth attacks!

In the blink of an eye, his opponent fired four attacks!

Chu Yu immediately used the Voice Transmission Technique to tell the Celestial Fox, "Run, quickly!"

"What about you?"

For some reason, the timid Celestial Fox did not cry about running.

"I’m fine, in the worst case I’ll go into the Immortal Refining Land!" Chu Yu dodged and weaved whilst using the Voice Transmission Technique, "Go quickly! Do you really want to become a scarf?"

"What are you saying? You should run too! The Immortal Refining Land is akin to death! Do you have any protective items?" The Celestial Fox’s tone was solemn.

"Yes!"

Chu Yu’s answer was certain, but he felt guilty.

He had no way of being sure that his vertical eye could survive the dangers of the Immortal Refining Land.

But with things as they were, he could not be too bothered.

"Really?"

"Stop dilly dallying, go!"

　

Just as he spoke, a ray of light penetrated his chest!

Wa!

Chu Yu vomited a mouthful of blood.

The Celestial Fox cried out, "I will be back to wait for you!"

A black ray of light flashed by and the Celestial Fox was gone.

However, the being attacking Chu Yu was not bothered about the Celestial Fox and kept attacking Chu Yu.

Clearly, this person was after Chu Yu!

"Who are you, come out!"

Blood trickled from Chu Yu’s mouth and his body was riddled with scars.

At this point, the attacks stopped.

Then, someone flew in from mid air.

This was a middle aged man in green. He stood in mid air and looked down on Chu Yu.

"Who are you?"

Chu Yu had never seen this man before.

"Little fella, you have been difficult to find." The man in green said flatly.

He was skinny but refined. His long hair rested on his shoulders as he put his hands behind his back and looked at Chu Yu coldly.

"Who are you?" Chu Yu asked.

"Handover the Deathly Poisonous Worm first!"

Deathly Poisonous Worm...

Chu Yu finally figured out who this person was.

　

He also remembered that there was someone watching him from the shadows in the Sky Dazed School.

But that feeling quickly vanished and he forgot all about it.

He never expected this man to be so determined and follow him all the way here.

How did he get in?

　

Not everyone could enter the Devastated World.

One needed special magical formations and skills.

Did he sneak in together with the 1000+ superior school people?

Chu Yu raised his head and stared coldly at this man, "You put the Deathly Poisonous Worm on Liu Yuyan?"

Limitless - Chapter 243: Sent flying with a single slap

Chu Yu glanced at the Celestial Fox, not speaking.

"You don’t believe me?" The Celestial Fox also looked at Chu Yu out of the corner of its eye and smiled, "Or is it that I have injured your ego?"

"Go f*ck yourself!" Chu Yu rolled his eyes.

"Brother, since we are from the same hometown, let me tell you this." The Celestial Fox looked secretive, "Don’t think that the top talents of the Mirror World are concentrated in the tier one schools. The best of the best don’t enter schools!"

"Sects?"

　

"Ancient Clans!" The Celestial Fox’s expression became more and more serious.

　

Then, it sighed lightly, "It has been many years since I snuck over. Because I was greedy, I entered many of the ancient clans. The best talents in those clans are the truly scary ones."

Chu Yu contemplated this for a moment, then nodded.

"Their ancestors were the top saints who had set up this world!"

The Celestial Fox continued, "As such, these talents have been cultivating with saint’s techniques since young. Furthermore, they are not like these trash, powerful but inexperienced. Those talents were thrown into the most dangerous since young to train."

The Celestial Fox looked at Chu Yu, "Do you know? There are powerful protectors with them, but unless they are about to die, their protectors will not appear next to them!"

Chu Yu sighed lightly, People who have gone through such an experience must be very scary.

"Do you understand now? Those are the truly terrifying ones!" The Celestial Fox continued, "As such, if you really want to go up against those people, your current powers are not enough! Of course, you come from our hometown and your bloodline is different. As long as you’re willing to work, your abilities will improve by leaps and bounds."

Over the next few days, Chu Yu and the Celestial Fox met many other superior school talents.

Perhaps he was agitated by the Celestial Fox, but Chu Yu began to find battles instead of waiting for battles to come to him.

He met with danger many times and was bruised and scarred. However, he did not back down.

This determination stunned even the Celestial Fox.

When facing off against one of the True Lords from a tier one school, Chu Yu nearly died whilst seriously injuring his opponent.

The terrified Celestial Fox asked Chu Yu, "Did you have to be so serious? That guy is armed to the teeth with magical equipment, is much more powerful than you, and is also a talent. Even if you want to grind, you must learn to protect your own life!"

"If I think that way every time, then I think I won’t have a future." Chu Yu said.

At this point, he and the Celestial Fox finally arrived at the Immortal Refining Land and saw eight cultivators waiting outside from afar.

Chu Yu had already gotten news of what was happening here from the other cultivators.

He could not help but admire the determination of these people.

They were still waiting for Xu Xiaoxian to come out.

At the same time, Chu Yu worried for Xu Xiaoxian. It had been so many days, was she still alive?

Even though he found out that Xu Xiaoxian had superior amulets, each amulet could only last a short period of time.

How many of such superior amulets did she have to allow her to survive so many days in the Immortal Refining Land?

　

The eight cultivators also spotted Chu Yu and the Celestial Fox.

Chu Yu wore the armor he had gotten from an unlucky True Lord talent. The armor was spotted with blood, clearly the result of an intense battle.

Chu Yu’s body exuded a strong blood aura and he did not intentionally conceal his true abilities.

He stared at the eight cultivators like a dangerous beast.

The eight cultivators guarding at the entrance looked at Chu Yu warily.

This man did not look familiar!

This was their first impression of Chu Yu.

Then, they recognized the Celestial Fox next to Chu Yu.

This animal was more despicable than Lord Thief and was a hate magnet.

All of Chu Yu’s battles in the past few days were caused by it!

When those cultivators saw the Celestial Fox, they lunged like flies to blood.

Chu Yu gradually realized that the fur of a Celestial Fox was of astronomical value in the Mirror World.

Even saints would jump at the opportunity to get their hands on one.

　

Chu Yu had learnt this from an unlucky cultivator who had set his eyes on the Celestial Fox and was subsequently killed by Chu Yu.

One of the famous female saints in the Mirror World not only had a Celestial Fox scarf, but also a Celestial Fox fur coat!

That Celestial Fox fur coat was her trademark!

She would frequently wear the Celestial Fox fur coat as her battle armor.

"That female saint is extremely beautiful, and she is considered one of the most beautiful in the entire universe."

That man had told Chu Yu.

After learning about this, the Celestial Fox’s rage could not be quelled. If it had the opportunity, it would strip the female saint and throw her on the streets.

Its hatred for her cut deep and it was nearly driven crazy on the spot.

"Celestial Fox?"

One of the better looking cultivators in his twenties frowned as he looked at the Celestial Fox with Chu Yu, deep in thought.

"It is a Celestial Fox, and these are rare. I heard that there were Celestial Foxes in the Devastated World, but that was a thing of the past. I never expected to see one today." One of the beautiful female cultivators blinked in surprise. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Then, she looked at Chu Yu and asked, "Is this your pat?"

The Celestial Fox rolled its eyes, "Do you want to buy me to make a scarf?"

The female cultivator stiffened slightly.

The Celestial Fox suddenly bellowed, "F*ck, you pieces of trash. When you see me, all you think about is my fur, and how to get it! You’re real b*stards!"

He was extremely agitated, bordering on craziness, after hearing the news prior. Seeing the eight powerful cultivators, it did not think of running at all.

　

"Are you scolding me?" The female cultivator chuckled icily, "What else can life forms like you be used to do, other than making scarfs? However, I heard that Celestial Foxes are extremely timid, so you’re quite special. But, you still can’t escape your fate of being a scarf!"

The handsome youth suddenly said, "Forget it, it’s still a superior life form, just let it go."

"Let go?" The female cultivator looked at him in disbelief, "For what? You may want to let it go, but I don’t!"

Then, she walked towards Chu Yu and the Celestial Fox.

As she walked over, "If you know your manners, scram to one side, this Celestial Fox is my scarf."

The Celestial Fox scarf was too famous in the Mirror World, it was virtually the embodiment of luxury.

When males saw the Celestial Fox, the would think about making it into a scarf and giving it to their favorite lady; when ladies saw the Celestial Fox, they thought about making it into a scarf for themselves.

　

Even though the Celestial Fox was timid, it was alert and difficult to track.

Furthermore, it had powerful escaping skills and could disappear quickly.

It was rare to see a Celestial Fox following a human around!

A few of them could not believe their eyes.

　

As such, once they saw one, almost no one would give up such a great opportunity.

"I am Xie Qing from the fourth ranked Pinnacle Star School."

The female cultivator looked at Chu Yu.

"I am Fu Qin from the foreign world!"

Chu Yu grit his teeth and smiled hypocritically.

"Fu Qin?" The female cultivator stiffened slightly. As she repeated this name, her expression was confused.

"That’s right, Fu Qin." Chu Yu snickered.

　

The female cultivator suddenly realized what was going on, Fu Qin, father? [1]

How humiliating!

"Go to hell!"

　

Xie Qing’s eyes shot out two divine lights. Those light rays formed little daggers and shot towards Chu Yu!

　

Eye Daggers!

　

This was a powerful sacred art!

　

Chu Yu punched towards the light from Xie Qing’s eyes!

Yin Yang Creation Fist!

This punch shattered the daggers that shot out from Xie Qing’s eyes!

Xie Qing howled, blood flowing from her beautiful eyes.

The spectators were all in shock, not believing what they saw unfold before their eyes.

The best talent from the 4th ranked school!

The Eye Daggers were Xie Qing’s finisher, and they were almost guaranteed to kill!

They had initially thought that Xie Qing was overdoing it, Was it necessary to use this technique against a Supreme Realm cultivator?

But now, they were all in shock.

How can a Supreme Realm cultivator be so ferocious?

　

Xie Qing kept retreating. The attack had injured her eyes.

The power of life and death encapsulated by the Yin Yang Creation Fist had awed her.

The Celestial Fox screamed, "Kill this b*tch!"

Chu Yu extended his hands and he used the Racing Sacred Art to move about, turning into a phantom instantly.

He closed in on Xie Qing.

Xie Qing’s armor glowed and a few of her magical equipment activated instantly, flying towards Chu Yu!

Chu Yu changed from his fists to his palm, the Bagua Soul Refining Palm sent Xie Qing flying.

She fell to the ground, dead to the world.

Two men rushed over to protect Xie Qing.

Then, the group stared coldly at Chu Yu.

"You have gotten yourself into deep sh*t!" That handsome youth’s gaze was icy as he glared at Chu Yu.

"Attack him together, kill him." Another youth said solemnly, his gaze towards Chu Yu filled with rage.

He was an admirer of Xie Qing. Seeing Xie Qing hurt infuriated him.

He immediately used a sacred art to attack Chu Yu.

A roaring river emptied above Chu Yu.

The water turned into ice, and a glacier came down on Chu Yu.

Chu Yu’s blood aura reached a maximum and he punched.

　

Boom!

The glacier shattered.

But it formed countless sharp ice picks. Even though they were ice, they were incredibly strong and sharp.

Countless ice picks formed a whirlpool in the air and rushed towards Chu Yu.

He’s definitely dead.

Everyone thought the same way.

Anyone trapped in this youth’s sacred art, even if they were talents in the same realm, would be seriously injured.

　　

However, they were in disbelief when they saw Chu Yu appear behind this youth.

"Care..."

Even before they could warn this youth, Chu Yu attacked, his palm contacting this youth’s back.

This attack was completely silent!

But it was incredibly powerful!

It was almost as if a mountain impacted this youth.

His armor glowed glaringly, but it dimmed down almost instantly.

This youth was sent flying dozens of miles away and landed on a barren stone mountain.

The mountain crumbled instantly!

Such a powerful cultivator, one of the top talents in the Mirror World was sent flying so easily!

[1] Fu Qin sounds like the term for father in Mandarin

Limitless - Chapter 242: More despicable than Lord Thief

Chu Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry. This fella kept running its mouth, but it had absolutely no courage!

Even though he was not close to the Celestial Fox, they had escaped the Stone Statue’s world together. He could not just stand idly by as it was killed and turned into a scarf.　

"Did you all ask me?"

Chu Yu glanced at them.

There were five of them and Chu Yu used his vertical eye to see their cultivation levels.

Two of them were True Lords, the other three were at the pinnacle of the Supreme Realm!

Chu Yu felt more confident, even if he couldn’t beat them, he could escape.

　

"Ask you?" That beautiful girl laughed coldly, "Who are you?"

"What is your relationship to this Celestial Fox? If you don’t want trouble for yourself, scram." The young True Lord cultivator looked coldly at Chu Yu.

The few of them came from tier two schools and were extremely familiar with the talents of the tier one schools.

Since they did not recognize Chu Yu’s ordinary appearance, he was clearly from a tier three school.

A tier three school student must be tired of living for him to be this arrogant in the face of them.

The Celestial Fox used the Voice Transmission Technique, "Brother, let’s run!’

"..." Chu Yu ignored it.

He looked at the five of them, "You can all attack together!"

As he spoke, Chu Yu let some of his aura leak and the five of them immediately judged his cultivation level.

"Do we need all five of us to defeat a Supreme Realm cultivator like you?" That young True Lord laughed and used a sacred art to attack Chu Yu.

A thousand fingertip sized red daggers filled the air.

"Heavenly Shroud of Flames!"

This True Lord cultivator bellowed and the thousand red daggers flew towards Chu Yu.

They blocked out the sky!

This scene was completely terrifying!

Each one of the daggers were of a terrifying temperature.

Their tips were immensely sharp.

Chu Yu’s eyes went cold and he fired off a wave of Yin Yang Creation Fist!

Kaboom!

Balls of fire exploded in mid air!

That was the light that resulted from the red daggers exploding.

Chu Yu used the Racing Sacred Art and closed the distance on this young True Lord like a phantom.

His fist turned into a palm!

He slapped this True Lord squarely in the face.

Bagua Soul Refining Palm!

Using this technique to slap someone was quite the low blow.

This young True Lord did not expect Chu Yu to be this fast. He also did not expect that a Supreme Realm cultivator would be this terrifying.

In his anxiety, he raised his arm to try and block the slap from Chu Yu.

Kacha!

His arm was shattered by Chu Yu’s slap!

Chu Yu once again changed from slaps to fists and rained blows down on this True Lord’s chest.

Sh*t!

This young True Lord’s armor burst with light and it blocked most of the energy from Chu Yu’s punch.

However, the residual energy was still enough to make the True Lord vomit blood.

At this point, the other True Lord cultivator, as well as the three Supreme Realm cultivators, lunged at Chu Yu.

What a pity!

Chu Yu thought to himself.

The talents of the Mirror World really have too much treasure.

Such armor had extremely powerful protective power. If he did not have such great armor, Chu Yu’s punches would have knocked holes in his chest.

Even if he would not die, Chu Yu could completely ruin him.

　

Chu Yu used the Racing Sacred Art to dodge away from the charging group.

At this point, the Celestial Fox kept screaming to the side, "Kill them! Play them! F*ck, how dare they treat me as a scarf, they must be tired of living!"

The people surrounding Chu Yu were speechless, enraged by the Celestial Fox’s words.

What a lowdown Celestial Fox!

The True Lord who was injured by Chu Yu did not lose all his battle power, however, he could not bring his full power to bear either.

The other four were incredibly powerful. They lacked experience, but they were not weak.

Anyone capable of becoming a talent in a tier two school was not merely just talented.

Chu Yu used the Racing Sacred Art to weave in between the four of them, using them to train his Yin Yang Creation Fist and Bagua Soul Refining Palm.

Every now and then, he would use the Five Elements Sacred Technique.

He did not seem disadvantaged, despite being outnumbered.

The Celestial Fox squatted some distance away as it laughed on happily, "A bunch of pulp, I’ll give it to you. If you have the abilities, come and get me! I don’t even need to hit you, I will make you kneel without even laying a finger on you!’

"Damn it, I really want to kill that fox, how despicable!" One of the young Supreme Realm cultivators raged.

However, this distraction caused him to be hit by Chu Yu’s slap, injuring his soul.

　

He flew a few hundred meters away, crashed, and did not get up.

"Aiyoyo, arrogant huh? I’ll let you be arrogant!" The Celestial Fox turned into a black ray of light and rushed over. It raised its front paws and sprang into action on this comatose cultivator.

Smack smack smack smack!

One slap after another.

"Act some more!"

"Go against me more!’

"F*ck me, if I don’t teach you a lesson, you will never know how strong I am."

This young True Lord was thoroughly enraged. He vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Even Chu Yu felt that this Celestial Fox was too despicable. It was even more despicable than Lord Thief!

Bang!

The True Lord cultivator continued to fight with Chu Yu, the clash of fists echoing out.

Then, he paled and retreated.

He was a whole cultivation realm higher, but he had lose in pure strength.

He could not believe it.

Such powerful cultivators could only be found in the tier one schools.

And they were the very best in the tier one schools!

Could it be that this man... came from a tier one school?

This True Lord cultivator did not dare to go head on against Chu Yu anymore, he felt like his fist was about to shatter.

He began to signal to the others to retreat and attack Chu Yu with sacred arts.

Why would Chu Yu give them such a chance?

He was best at close combat!

The Yin Yang Creation Fist and the Bagua Soul Refining Palm were all close combat sacred arts.

The Five Elements Sacred Technique was more long range, but Chu Yu was not as adept at it.

As such, seeing the people activate their magical equipment and use their sacred art, Chu Yu laughed coldly and charged towards this True Lord cultivator, attacking him manically.

His speed was too quick and the other two Supreme Realm cultivators could not keep up.

Bang bang bang!

Chu Yu’s rapid punches caused this True Lord cultivator to vomit blood.

The glow of this True Lord’s armor dimmed with each blow.

One of the Supreme Realm cultivators tried a sneak attack and a sacred art impacted Chu Yu’s left shoulder.

Blood trickled from the wound.

He had used a jade green blade for his sneak attack.

It was the length of a finger, silent, but lethal.

However, at the most critical moment, Chu Yu dodged away and the blade only grazed his shoulder.

He did not make a sound. He used the Racing Sacred Art to turn around and punch!

　　

A terrifying wave of energy, stretching hundreds of meters, impacted the body of this Supreme Realm cultivator.

The glow from his armor virtually disappeared and this young Supreme Realm cultivator spat out a huge mouthful of blood as he flew into the distance.

A black light blinked in front of their eyes!

The throat of this Supreme Realm cultivator was torn open!

Blood sprayed everywhere!

　

The beautiful girl grit her teeth, "Junior!"

The contented voice of the Celestial Fox could be heard, "Didn’t you just have your eyes on me, do you know the meaning of death now? Weakling!’

As it spoke, it attacked and tore open the abdomen of this pinnacle Supreme Realm cultivator.

It then chopped the escaping Nascent Soul in half!

Then, it opened its mouth and sucked, swallowing the Nascent Soul of this cultivator.

It said contentedly, "Not bad, extremely nourishing!"

　

It’s claws were extremely sharp and its battle power was not as weak as predicted.

Even though it looked like it was taking advantage of an injured cultivator, the body of a pinnacle Supreme Realm cultivator was not so easily torn apart.

Yet, in the face of its claws, it was like a piece of paper!

The lady looked like she was about to go crazy. She had never expected that her junior would die here.

At this point, the injured True Lord attacked the Celestial Fox with another sacred art.

That was a light ray made from pure energy. It had gargantuan penetrating powers as it flew straight at the Celestial Fox.

This was quite the sudden attack and it looked like it was going to connect.

Kaboom!

A light screen appeared in front of the Celestial Fox.　

The light was reflected backwards the moment it hit the screen.

　

At that point, the young True Lord was scared out of his wits and jumped for cover.

The reflected light brushed past his body and tore a hole in his armor!

"Immature!"

The Celestial Fox laughed icily, "Do you think I’m easily bullied?"

　

Bang!

Chu Yu once again used the Yin Yang Creation Fist to send this True Lord flying.

　

The remaining pinnacle Supreme Realm lady did not hesitate and she turned and ran!

An icy voice came from afar, "I remember you all, don’t think about leaving this world alive!’’　

"Who doesn’t know how to brag?" The Celestial Fox laughed icily.

Both True Lords were injured.

Of the three pinnacle Supreme Realm cultivators, one escaped, one was unconscious, and the last was killed by the Celestial Fox, even losing his Nascent Soul.

No one would have predicted this outcome.

Chu Yu frowned and glanced at the Celestial Fox. He used the Voice Transmission Technique, "Little fella, you’re more of a demon than me."

"They want to use my skin to make scarfs, eat my meat and drink my blood, am I not supposed to retaliate? I am not Mother Theresa." The Celestial Fox rolled its eyes.

"Mother Theresa?" Chu Yu squinted and looked at the Celestial Fox, "Where are you from?"

"Aiya, I have revealed it." The Celestial Fox blinked, but replied quickly. It chuckled as it looked at Chu Yu, "You nearly got me there, I never expected that we are from the same hometown."

Chu Yu looked at the Celestial Fox speechlessly. His lips twitched, Who is from the same hometown as you.

However, even though that term existed in the Mirror World, it was not used that way.

This was only used this way on Earth.

As such, Chu Yu began to doubt the origins of the Celestial Fox.

"Hush, brother, I won’t betray you, but don’t betray me either. I snuck over here."

The Celestial Fox blinked at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu nodded, "Deal."

Then, he brought the Celestial Fox along as they walked towards the Immortal Refining Land.

Even though the two True Lords were not willing to see it happen, they did not try to stop them.

　

Chu Yu would be hard pressed to kill them, but they were definitely no match for Chu Yu!

Along the way, the Celestial Fox asked, "You’re quite powerful. Even though those fellas were jerks, they are not weak. I never expected you to be able to defeat five of them."

"Now you know how powerful I am?" Chu Yu grit his teeth.

"Come on, that’s because you haven’t seen true power! I could defeat the five of them with a single paw!"

The Celestial Fox said unabashedly.

Limitless - Chapter 241: Heavenly Tree

After setting up the area, Xu Xiaoxian approached the medicine slowly.

This was an extremely green, almost jade like plant. It was over a foot high and had no leaves, only branches.

　　

Three red berries hung from the branches.

The berries were about the size of a longan, and were bright red and fragrant

"That is the Heavenly Red Fruit!"

Some of the talents with better eyesight exclaimed when they saw the medicine on the plant Xu Xiaoxian was approaching.

"Heavenly Red Fruit?" There were people who had never heard of such a fruit.

"That medicine is known as the Heavenly Tree. It is a legendary medicine and it is said that a single branch can extend the lifespan of a saint!"

Everyone looked on enviously, their breathing hastening.

Something that could extend the lifespan of a saint...

Saints supposedly never died and could always turn back the clock.

But even the most powerful cultivators would meet various problems.

Else, saints would not enter the Devastated World and be swallowed by the four strange occurrences.

Furthermore, whether saints needed to extend their lifespan was on thing, the ability to extend the lifespan of a saint was something completely different!

This meant that this medicine was incredibly powerful!

The Heavenly Tree is no big deal. The key here is the fruit that it bears. It only bears fruit once every 100,000 years and will not bear more than five fruits. This fruit has an incredible effect. After eating it, one may be able to breakthrough by a whole realm, or it could refine your bodily makeup, or even impart in you a sacred art so powerful it goes against Heaven’s Will!"

This student was someone with much experience in pill refining.

Everyone was jealous just hearing it.

There were people praying fervently as they saw Xu Xiaoxian close in on the Heavenly Tree.

"Please don’t let her get it, please don’t let her get it!"

　

Indeed.

As Xu Xiaoxian got nearer, the Heavenly Tree got up and sprinted away!

　

To be exact, its millions of roots sprang into life as it sprinted!

"Hahaha, she wants to get medicine even though she’s about to die? How naive!"

"I suddenly feel quite happy!"

"This is hilarious, superior medicine does indeed have spirit and can run so fast!’

"I can’t take this anymore, my stomach is aching from laughing... oh!" As this last person laughed, he suddenly felt that something was amiss.

Before the Heavenly Tree could get far, it seemed to hit a wall. With a bang, it rebounded backwards.

At this point, Xu Xiaoxian turned to look at the crowd outside and smiled mockingly.

Then, powerful magical formations began revealing themselves within the Immortal Refining Land.

　

Even though they hadn’t shown their full prowess, this tree clearly had nowhere to run too!

　

"Little baby, come to sister."

Xu Xiaoxian smiled at this Heavenly Tree.

The Heavenly Tree looked like a frightened child as it desperately tried to escape.

However, it was completely surrounded and had no room for retreat!

　

In the end, it was forced into a corner by Xu Xiaoxian.

Xu Xiaoxian’s gaze was ferocious, "Are you being disobedient? Not listening to orders? I will chop you up into a million pieces and feed you to the dogs!"

Everyone outside was stunned as they saw the amulet on top of Xu Xiaoxian’s head burn down to 1/3 of its original size.

Even these people who hated her so deeply could not help but feel conflicted. At the same time, they were curious, Why isn’t she worried?

The Heavenly Tree in the Immortal Refining Land was a superior medicine with an elementary spirit and exuded an aura of fear.

"Do you finally know fear? Are you still going to run? Do you think I will eat you?" Xu Xiaoxian questioned.

Everyone watching thought to themselves, Isn’t that exactly what you want to do?

Xu Xiaoxian did not care about the others thought. She extended her hand and plucked off the three red fruits from its branches. Then, she took out a storage magical equipment and said, "Go on in, else, I will chop you into a million pieces and feed you to the dogs!"

This Heavenly Tree shivered and wobbled into the magical equipment.

Outside, all the talents of the superior schools were stunned by what the saw.

Just like that?

They could not believe their eyes.

Is it really that easy to get superior medicine from the Immortal Refining Land?

What kind of technique was this?

How unbelievable!

The medicine is now willing to follow her after she trapped it and threatened it?

Those who knew about magical formations were in aghast.

Even though spiritual medicine were not extremely strong offensively, they had some of the best escape skills.

Many of the best medicine could even escape from powerful Legendary Emperors!

Yet this demonic girl had managed to use a magical formation to trap the Heavenly Tree.

However, someone else mentioned that this place was the Immortal Refining Land, and even as medicine which has lived here for their whole lives, they would not dare run about willfully.

There were definitely places they were scared of.

No matter what, they were quite unhappy that Xu Xiaoxian, who they had forced into a corner, had gained such a powerful medicine.

"We will just block this place, she can forget about coming out alive!"

"If she comes out, that medicine will be ours!"

At this point, Xu Xiaoxian continued to walk towards the depths of the Immortal Refining Land, and even casually waved back at them.

　

"What are you so arrogant about? You’re clearly about to die."

"Demon, the amulet on your head is about to time out!"

"What a pity... that medicine..."

They watched as Xu Xiaoxian disappeared into the distance, the amulet on her head burning away.

At this point, yet another ancient amulet appeared on her head.

　

All of the spectators were stupefied.

After a long pause.

"F*ck me! She still has more!"

"How can she have more of such powerful protective amulets? This is ridiculous..."

"Amulets refined by an amulet saint are so hard to come by I would hesitate so long before using one. Yet, she uses them so willfully?"

　

"When your life is at stake, who cares about wastage? The question here is, how come she still has more?"

All of them were stunned. Never in their wildest dreams did they expect her to have so many protective amulets.

They had planned on waiting for the amulet to expire so that she would obediently exit and they could steal the medicine from her.

Yet, what had happened?

They looked at each other.

　

"Do we continue waiting here?"

"I don’t think there’s much of a point..."

"No way, I don’t believe that she has many more of those amulets, she’ll have to come out sometime soon!"

"Exactly, she killed so many of us, we cannot let her off!"

The differences in their opinions began to show.

Not many of them were related to those who died. Seeing as Xu Xiaoxian had more amulets, they didn’t want to wait any longer. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

They did not want to come to the four strange occurrences.

They would much rather go to someplace else and find opportunities meant for them.

Finally, only eight people continued to stay on.

　

They claimed that they wanted to avenge the fallen.

　

In fact, everyone knew that revenge was just an excuse.

　

These people were really after the medicine the demonic girl possessed!

　　...…

Chu Yu brought the Celestial Fox on his journey.

The Celestial Fox boasted to Chu Yu, "I have walked all of the four strange occurrences."

"And then you got trapped by the ancient divine stone statue?" Chu Yu mocked.

The Celestial Fox rolled its eyes, "That was an accident."

"Haha." Chu Yu laughed coldly.

"Really, do you want to go take a look at the other three? They are really fun." The Celestial Fox tempted, "The Immortal Refining Land, the Dead Sea, and the Heavenly Mountains... these are all great places!"

"Do I look stupid to you?" Chu Yu looked at the Celestial Fox speechlessly.

The Celestial Fox shook its head, "I can tell that you are an extremely smart person. If you were stupid, no one would be considered smart. Of course, you’re still slightly worse than me."

The Celestial Fox kept tempting Chu Yu to explore the other three strange occurrences but Chu Yu ignored it.

The two of them walked towards the Immortal Refining Land. They had no plans to enter that land, but there was a palace complex in that direction that the Celestial Fox had been to.

Even though many of the rooms had been ransacked, "There are a few rooms that are only accessible by certain bloodlines. It is not dangerous, even if you don’t qualify, nothing untoward will happen to you." The Celestial Fox said sincerely.

Chu Yu decided to go check it out.

However, before they reached the palace, they ran into many people.

At this point, Chu Yu had taken on an ordinary appearance, one that could not be picked out in a crowd.

The people that he met initially ignored him, engrossed in their own conversation.

Even though it was just snippets, Chu Yu managed to glean information of Xu Xiaoxian from them.

"Demonic girl killing people, bloodbath, her magical formation skills are powerful. She has a lot of ancient amulets and can get medicine from the Immortal Refining Land..."

　

Chu Yu linked the news together and pieced together the information on Xu Xiaoxian.

He could not help but worry about Xu Xiaoxian. She had stumbled into the Immortal Refining Land, a place where even saints had died!

When Chu Yu met his fourth group of people, someone finally took notice of the Celestial Fox next to him.

"Come over quickly, what thing is that?" Someone hollered, pointing at the Celestial Fox.

"You’re a thing, your entire family are things!" The Celestial Fox raged, its foreleg pointing at the person.

"Celestial Fox!" Someone said solemnly, then gasped, "I had heard about Celestial Foxes some time back, I never expected that it was true!"

"Is this thing really a Celestial Fox?" Some of them said in disbelief.

"Your grandad is a Celestial Fox! F*ck, what things are you anyways?" The Celestial Fox hid behind Chu Yu and raged.

"Hahahaha, I never expected that I would be rewarded so handsomely on this expedition!" One of the young True Lords said in excitement, "The Celestial Fox’s hide is exquisite, and with some refining from an armor master, it can be a truly superior magical equipment!’

"We have so many people, how do we split?" A lively girl asked.

She looked at the starry eyes of the Celestial Fox and imagined a Celestial Fox scarf.

"Split your sister! B*tch!" The Celestial Fox fumed.

It used the Voice Transmission Technique to tell Chu Yu, "We can’t hold them, I’m going to run, this gang is vicious, they want to make me into a scarf!"
