Logically, as one progresses, it should beco more difficult to increase in strength.
Especially for those who are Heroic Spirits, slaying these General Tier and King Tier monsters shouldn’t yield much Experience Points.
But why does Chu Xiu’s growth in strength seem to be much, much faster than mine?
Is this reasonable!
Jiang Miaoyin couldn’t help but say, "Senior, how co it seems like you beco much stronger every ti you co out of seclusion, do Heroic Spirit Awakened upgrade that fast?" Jiang Miaoyin couldn’t help asking.
"You’re overthinking," Chu Xiu said without looking back, "I’ve already mastered these Skills a long ti ago, it’s just that I hadn’t encountered a worthy opponent to use them on before."
Jiang Miaoyin let out an "oh," and then felt sothing was off. If Chu Xiu had these Divine Techniques long ago, why didn’t he just smash the Domain deep within the Soul Hall before? Why slowly wear it down with the Ghostly Legion?
However, this doubt was fleeting. She quickly beca excited and stepped forward to help Chu Xiu tidy up.
Jiang Miaoyin wasn’t concerned about others’ secrets; she only cared that there was a share of the Extrely Yin Water for herself among this scattered loot!
The two moved quickly, and not long after, they had collected all the Extrely Yin Water, and Chu Xiu’s Ghostly Legion evolved once again.
In seven days, four more Ghost Generals were born!
But just as Chu Xiu was about to continue hunting, he suddenly heard a low hum coming from the distance.
His expression changed, and he pulled Jiang Miaoyin over: "It’s coming again."
Jiang Miaoyin imdiately understood, perceptively scanned their surroundings with her Spiritual Sense, and then pointed in one direction. The two flew three to four kiloters, seeing an indented gap in the rock wall at a hundred-ter height, they skillfully drilled in, extinguished their Protective Oil Lamp, and then concealed all their auras.
Although they had no Artifacts, the dense Yin Qi imdiately began to erode their bodies, but as King Tier, resisting for a short ti was not a big problem.
The low hum grew louder, gradually turning into a horn sound like that of an ancient battlefield. Chu Xiu felt the ground around him tremble.
A giant shadow enveloped them, and Chu Xiu looked up to see a colossal entity, so large its full outline was almost impossible to discern, flying overhead. Its body nearly filled the space between the mountain structures. From the elevated vantage point on the hundred-ter-high rock wall, they could see only a part of its side flank.
It was that terrifying Ghost from last ti!
During this period, Chu Xiu and Jiang Miaoyin discovered that this Ghost patrolled its domain like a monarch, almost making a round within the Inner Layer Area every day.
And at this ti, all Ghosts would hide themselves to avoid being discovered.
The two had seen with their own eyes, two King Tier Ghosts being destroyed as their Soul Bodies were devoured in one gulp for causing too much commotion while fighting over a Spirit Grass.
Moreover, just as previously reported, this giant creature, like other Leaders, also had its own subordinates.
"Senior, is such a terrifying creature really not a [Heroic Spirit]?" Jiang Miaoyin looked fearful.
"No," Chu Xiu shook his head, "Such a massive form could only possibly be sustained in a Blessed Land where the Yin Qi is unbelievably dense. If placed in the Outer World, it would probably deplete most of itself in just a few years."
"However... in this Blessed Land, even if it’s not a Heroic Spirit, it’s akin to one."
Jiang Miaoyin caught on to Chu Xiu’s undertone, which was that Chu Xiu didn’t seem confident he could defeat such an incomprehensibly large Ghost.
But that was normal. Jiang Miaoyin thought of the Heroic Spirits she was familiar with and realized that none of them dared to claim they could surpass this Overlord in that place.
Even more so, without understanding what special tricks this Kunpeng-like terror had, survival itself might not be guaranteed.
In fact, Chu Xiu was also pondering.
"Many of the Ghosts in this Inner Layer Area have been eaten by that big guy. If it were killed, it would definitely drop a treasure trove of good things! It might even be higher than all the other Ghosts combined!"
"The enormous Soul Body, who knows to what level it could elevate my Ghostly Legion!"
The saying ’When a whale falls, all things thrive’ truly describes this situation, right?
But the problem is... how to do it?
Directly killing it is definitely impossible. Although Chu Xiu’s Demon Energy Soldiers are indeed very powerful, against a creature of this size, they might be no different than a bug bite.
Long-range attrition won’t work either; its breath in and out releases vast amounts of Yin Qi. Relying on the traits of the [Extrely Yin Body], the body’s regenerative ability would also be extrely terrifying.
"Woo-woo—"
Just as Chu Xiu was contemplating, the dull horn sound ca again, and he slled a stench as pitch-black rain began to fall from the sky in front of him.
"Senior, this creature has started ’excreting’ again. These raindrops seem to be the impurities in the Yin Qi. Heavens, so much, how much Yin Qi does this guy absorb in a day?"
Jiang Miaoyin couldn’t help but marvel.
Thanks to the unique nature of the Hundred Demons lting Furnace World where the sun sheds Yin Qi, and the world’s Yin Qi descends, such a creature could be sustained.
In the Land of Extre Yin of an ordinary world, the Yin Qi inside would probably be depleted in less than a month by this creature.
But they were not overly worried. They had seen this scene three or four tis; the big guy roams the Inner Layer Area, randomly unleashing, each ti its Soul Body becos purer with excretion, continuously strengthening through this cycle.
They just needed to wait for it to leave; it wouldn’t return to this region for a while, giving Chu Xiu and Jiang Miaoyin so Free Exploration ti.
But just at this mont, amidst the dull buzzing sound, a subtle noise rang out, like the friction sound of tal colliding.
