The poison jet shooting toward Life Throat was shredded into dust the instant it touched the Evil Wind Tornado.
The underground ant-nest-like structural barriers were even more fragile than paper, Shattering in an instant. Massive numbers of Sand Erosion were directly sucked out of the sand layer and thrown into the wind pillar.
Life Throat’s fingertip traced across the air in front of him, using spiritual power to communicate with the Natural Elents and issue new commands.
The wind pillar suddenly accelerated its rotation.
In the originally pitch‑black airflow, countless black Wind Blades erged, almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, each one carrying a Sharpness capable of slicing through Energy.
More than three hundred Sand Erosion lizards let out shrill screams inside the Tornado. They tried to bombard the wind wall with their tail stingers, only to have half their tails sliced off by the rebounding Wind Blades.
The Energy crystals on their shells flashed nonstop, trying to absorb the Energy of the wind pillar, but all they got in return was the agonizing pain of having those crystals violently ripped off.
The scene inside the wind pillar was like Purgatory.
The smaller Sand Erosion lizards were ground into at paste the instant they touched the Wind Blades. Even the slightly larger ones couldn’t last more than a few seconds; shell and flesh were peeled away layer by layer, ultimately turning into scarlet mist that flew toward Life Throat.
The Clan King used the last of its strength to spit out highly corrosive venom, but it vanished the mont it touched the core of the Wind Eye.
Life Throat hovered at the top of the Tornado, his robes snapping in the howling gale.
He looked down at the scene of Destruction he had created with his own hands, yet his expression was utterly calm.
Every ti a cluster of scarlet mist rged into his body, a trace of enjoynt would flicker in his eyes.
Under his spiritual power Control, the wind pillar moved with precision; all the flying flesh and blood was constrained within the pillar’s range, not a single droplet of blood splashing onto the sand outside.
Just then, a sand Tornado that had ford in the distance happened to sweep over, but when it got within a hundred ters of Life Throat, it was shattered into scattered airflow by the Evil Wind Tornado.
Not long after, the three hundred Sand Erosion lizards below, along with their Clan King, were completely shredded into Energy mist.
Life Throat slowly brought his arms together, and the wind pillar imdiately contracted, coiling back around his body like a living thing.
With the battle over, Life Throat lifted his head to gaze into the depths of the Gobi, where an even stronger fluctuation of Qi-Blood was calling to him.
The black Evil Wind beneath his feet suddenly converged, propelling his figure into a streak of black lightning that pierced through the rolling yellow sand, leaving only the gradually fading roar of the wind behind him.
Flying along, Life Throat felt thoroughly at ease.
He was already a player now. Even if a God Realm powerhouse suddenly appeared, he wouldn’t feel the slightest fear.
He’d even dare to flip them the bird like the other players.
After becoming a player, his bottom line had long since been locked in.
In the words of the forum players: "An hour from now, I’ll still be a tough bastard."
While Flying, he called out the function panel and touched the "Newbie Level Ranking" with his consciousness.
Instantly, the event ranking list unfolded in his mind.
[Newbie Level Ranking]:
Ti remaining: 9 days 2 hours 38 minutes.
First place: Rebel Throat (Combined Soul Level: 32.3847% Level)
Second place: Had Another Hungry Dream (Combined Soul Level: 13.2737% Level)
Third place: No Sleep Only Grind (Combined Soul Level: 13.1823% Level)
...
His Combined Soul Level had already left the other players far behind.
That naturally included his own clansn.
He could see quite a few in‑ga nas on the list that, with high probability, belonged to his clan.
And the thod that allowed him to level up so quickly ca from a deeper‑level use of spiritual power.
Before entering the ga, he had gone through many Player Guides.
He discovered that players were still using their abilities at a very basic level, like wielding a Star Destroyer Cannon just to trade blows as if it were a cold weapon.
Aside from directly using Rule characteristics, it was like this in almost every respect.
Take, for example, the transford use of spiritual power.
Magic Stream players all treated spiritual power as nothing more than a mana bar, used to activate Life Soul Characteristics.
That was like only knowing how to pull the trigger on a high‑pressure water gun, without ever adjusting the shape of the water flow.
The only one who’d shown a bit of insight was a player with the ID "Back From Rebirth Still Can’t Win," who proposed using spiritual power transford into Telekinesis.
This was an advanced usage of spiritual power.
By externalizing spiritual power, you could finely Control it to coat all matter, effectively learning to shape high‑pressure water into a water Sword to cut through tal.
But in essence, it was still a straightforward, rough mode.
The correct way to use it should be to let spiritual power achieve Resonance with Heaven and Earth, driving the Natural Elents of the Monster World to gather.
That way, you’d both save on spiritual power consumption in battle and amplify the power of any Elent you manifested with it.
The Evil Wind he used was precisely an Elental Energy naturally generated by spiritual power Resonance.
And the Life Soul embedded in a player’s body was, in essence, a Primordial Monster, part of the Monster World’s frawork. What it granted the player was pure, flawless Qi-Blood and spiritual power that could easily achieve perfect Resonance with the Heaven and Earth Elents of the Monster World.
His process of using spiritual power to generate Evil Wind was incomparably smooth; he only needed a single thought.
This smoothness even surpassed that of his other body in the Demigod Realm.
With the help of the Evil Wind, he could turn himself into a "Group Damage Mage" with area‑of‑effect capabilities, effortlessly slaughtering low-level Monsters in this region to grow stronger.
But that alone still wasn’t enough.
He wanted to Hunt even stronger Monsters to help him grow faster.
There would be many situations later where he would need to use sacrificial power.
First was the Rule unsealing in his backpack, to be made into a Special Life Soul, which would require an expenditure of 1.15 million sacrificial power.
Next were the basic expenditures for opening Star Vein Slots, Cultivation of Combat Skills, purchasing Life Souls, and expanding backpack capacity, and so on.
