122 Family Competition (5)
I wonder how many people still remember the supernatural power that propelled Gao Zhun to the pinnacle of public opinion in the Yongcheng Secret Realm—the World-Burning Heavenly Fire, which could only be unleashed by those with the Eye of Truth!
The so-called World-Burning Heavenly Fire is a supernatural technique that Xuanyuan Powang used his Eye of Illusion to release when he was in the Divine Transcending stage. It is one of the few innate supernatural abilities that can be released before the Tribulation Transcending stage.
Back then, Gao Zhun, a Golden Core cultivator, unleashed the World-Burning Heavenly Flame, which truly made a name for himself on the Immortal Spirit Continent. Moreover, the apocalyptic scene allowed the cultivators who experienced the Yongcheng Secret Realm to witness firsthand the world-destroying power of ancient cultivators.
Let's describe the supernatural power of the Burning World Heavenly Fire like this.
For cultivators, possessing a move that can instantly kill an opponent a whole realm higher than themselves is already an extraordinary thing. However, the Burning World Heavenly Fire is an area-of-effect (AOE) attack skill that can instantly kill opponents a whole realm higher than themselves over a large area.
Furthermore, because the Heavenly Flame of Burning the World contains the power of judgment, it is particularly effective against magical beasts.
Of course, such a powerful move is bound to have side effects, and these side effects are not only present, but also significant.
Without the existence of the "Nourishing Essence Technique", Gao Zhun would never have used this move casually.
Because every time she uses the World-Burning Heavenly Fire, it consumes the bloodline of the Xuanyuan clan within her body.
Once she has consumed enough energy, she will lose the ability to activate the Eye of Truth.
However, the existence of the "Nourishing Essence Technique" allows her to extract essence from other creatures to replenish the Xuanyuan clan bloodline that has been depleted in her body, so that she will not lose such an extremely useful cheat due to the issue of bloodline purity.
Therefore, the scenario that everyone expected Gao Zhun to be overwhelmed by the demonic rats did not occur. Instead, where Gao Zhun looked, golden flames descended from the sky. The dazzling golden flames that filled the entire space seemed to burn even the sky. This is the origin of the name "World-Burning Heavenly Fire".
This time, the onlookers were stunned, especially the person who initially shouted that Gao Zhun had gone crazy. At this moment, he felt a burning pain in his cheek. Only those who have experienced being slapped in the face know the taste of shame.
At this moment, everyone realized that Gao Zhun's previous laziness was entirely to give the other contestants a way out. Otherwise, if she continued to burn like that, wouldn't the Nascent Soul cultivators in the same secret realm be devastated?
Gao Zhun's ranking at this moment shows that she was originally ranked outside the top 2,000, but because of this wave of 80,000 to 90,000 points, her points instantly approached the 100,000 mark and she has entered the top 300.
If Gao Zhun knew what these people were thinking, she would definitely scoff and say, "You people are overthinking things. Moving out so late is just to let others clear out the small monsters so I can figure out where the big ones are."
Furthermore, if Nascent Soul stage cultivators are devastated, what about Spirit Division stage cultivators?!
Gao Zhun glanced at the bracelet, quite dissatisfied with the points displayed and her current ranking of 264. So she turned around and sped off towards another place with dense demonic energy.
Those outside the secret realm were stunned once again when they saw the direction Gao Zhun flew in. First it was the demon rat, and now it's the demon wolf?
The Demon Rat is a Golden Core stage magical beast. Killing one only earns 1 point, and its attack power is weak and singular. It is precisely because of its large number that it is suitable for people like Gao Zhun, who have group AoE damage skills, to farm points.
But the demon wolf is different.
As we all know, wolves are social animals, and the demon wolves are no exception. In the secret realm, although there are not as many demon wolves as demon rats, there are still 20,000 of them, but they represent a full 200,000 points!
The difference lies in the fact that the demon rat is a Golden Core stage demon beast, while the demon wolf is a Nascent Soul stage demon beast!
A difference of just one rank can mean a tenfold difference in points, but the Demon Wolf is not like the Demon Rat; the Nascent Soul stage has its own reasons for being at the Nascent Soul stage.
Of course, there is no distinction between Golden Core stage and Nascent Soul stage among magical beasts. This mainly describes the strength of these magical beasts as equivalent to the common Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Immortal Spirit Continent.
The magic rats have a single attack method, mainly physical attacks, which they use by biting.
But the demon wolves are different. Their attack methods are more diverse. Biting and clawing are just the basics. Most importantly, they have the attribute of gale, making them incredibly fast. Coupled with their brutal nature, even the fusion-stage magical beasts in the secret realm would not dare to confront this group head-on.
However, is Gao Zhun going to go and challenge him to a one-on-one fight now?
No matter how you look at it, it makes you want to start mocking me!
However, having learned from the previous experience with the Demon Rat, everyone was a little more cautious and decided to wait and see until they were certain that the opponent couldn't defeat the Demon Wolf.
Gao Zhun's subsequent performance proved that these people's caution was correct, after all, this guy himself was a bug-like existence.
Because the Demon Wolves have maxed out their Agility talent points compared to the Demon Rats, the Burning World Heavenly Fire alone might not be enough to wipe out this pack of Demon Wolves. If they fail to wipe them out, it would mean that Gao Zhun, the old driver, has failed.
Therefore, before unleashing the World-Burning Heavenly Fire, Gao Zhun first drew out the Azure Light Sword, which she had nurtured for a long time.
This sword has already begun to show its brilliance due to the improvement of its master's strength. It is just waiting for the day when it completely breaks away from the sword embryo and shows its unique form. At that time, the world will have another peerless sword!
As soon as Gao Zhun pulled his face away, the captains of the several 10,000-person squads who had been intimidated by his sword in the first round and were eliminated for various reasons felt a chill.
At the time of the competition, they didn't think too much about it, but after being eliminated, they realized that Gao Zhun's sword strike had already surpassed their understanding.
In their understanding, when sword practice yields initial results, sword energy will condense. Sword energy is the first standard for determining whether a cultivator has embarked on the path of sword cultivation. If one cannot condense sword energy within a year of practicing swordsmanship, then it is better to give up on the path of sword cultivation as soon as possible.
After sword energy comes sword aura. Sword aura is the ability to express the indomitable spirit in a swordsman's heart through the sword in hand. Moreover, depending on the type of aura, it will shape the subsequent development of sword cultivation.
After the sword momentum comes the extremely difficult-to-reach sword intent, a realm that can only be attained after achieving oneness with the sword. It is the will expressed by the cultivator through the sword after the person and the sword have reached harmony through some means. A sword intent that soars to the sky can scare away enemies with just this one point.
However, Gao Zhun's swordsmanship cannot be described by mere sword intent.
These Nascent Soul cultivators did not know what the realm of swordsmanship beyond sword intent was. Among them, there were many who had mastered sword momentum but had not yet comprehended sword intent. There was even a saying that sword cultivators who could master sword intent before the Nascent Soul stage could be called geniuses in the way of the sword.
So what is Gao Zhun, who has already mastered an even higher level?
He really is a prodigy, isn't he...?
