Chapter 354 The Golden Elixir is Perfect
Now covered in wounds, Su Yang calmly took a sip of the spiritual wine.
The silver-souled insects continued to wriggle on Su Yang's wound, which was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Su Yang felt the spiritual energy within her dantian gradually returning, which gave her some confidence.
As her cultivation level increased, the spiritual energy replenished by the spirit wine could no longer keep up with the rate at which she consumed it.
It seems she'll need to improve the recipe when brewing her spirit wine in the future...
Su Yang looked up at the dark clouds above that hadn't seen the ninth lightning tribulation for a long time, her eyes filled with doubt.
Why hasn't the tribulation occurred after so long?
Su Yang felt a vague unease in her heart.
Until she saw the faint black lightning flashing within the dark clouds.
Within the black lightning, an aura of annihilation, death, and destruction was revealed.
Su Yang saw no sign of life in it.
At that moment, Su Yang's pupils shrank sharply.
Black lightning tribulation?
this......
A red one just arrived, and now a black one has appeared.
Su Yang couldn't help but laugh in anger. Was he really trying to kill her?
However, in the next instant, black lightning poured down.
The thick, black lightning bolt, as thick as a bucket, completely engulfed Su Yang's body.
The black light poured down like a waterfall, instantly turning an area of a hundred miles into a desolate wasteland, even the falling snowflakes disappeared.
The black lightning lasted for a full fifteen minutes before finally subsiding.
Subsequently, the lightning tribulation gradually disappeared, and the dark clouds in the sky slowly dissipated.
Within a hundred miles of this dead zone, there was only one delicate figure lying in the center.
Su Yang's entire body turned completely charred black.
At first glance, Su Yang in the center lay on the ground like a corpse, motionless.
Only her constantly trembling fingertips proved that she was still alive.
Countless silver soul insects wriggled incessantly on Su Yang's body, healing her injuries.
The next instant, a seven-colored auspicious cloud appeared in the void.
From within the auspicious clouds, a shower of golden rain descended.
The rain fell on Su Yang, completely healing all the injuries she had sustained from the lightning tribulation.
Abundant spiritual and demonic energy flowed continuously through Su Yang's dantian and meridians.
Su Yang's skin, which was originally as red as charcoal, became incredibly fair and delicate after being nourished by the sweet rain.
Her lips were crimson red, her complexion was fair with a rosy glow, her eyebrows were arched, and her skin was like solidified cream, faintly radiating a rainbow of colors.
At this moment, Su Yang's cultivation level was steadily increasing.
Early stage of Golden Core, middle stage of Golden Core, late stage of Golden Core...
The golden elixir is complete!
Time passed, and the beautiful woman lying on the ground gradually opened her phoenix eyes, a sharp glint in them.
She casually cast a purification spell on herself, and then changed out of her tattered robes that had been struck by lightning.
Su Yang felt the demonic and spiritual power flowing smoothly within her body, and her mood improved considerably.
She looked inward at her dantian, at the Tai Chi disc floating above it, and at the richly colored golden core and demon core on it.
"Just as I expected, it's a perfect Golden Core! Even the demon core is a perfect one!" Su Yang smiled with satisfaction.
Her Tribulation of Three Nines was almost as severe as the Tribulation of Four Nines of other cultivators!
If it's not a perfect Golden Core, Su Yang is really going to vomit blood!
Suddenly, Su Yang seemed to realize that something was wrong.
Su Yang opened her eyes wide, her hands trembling, her face filled with disbelief.
"Golden Core...perfected?!"
"When did my cultivation level reach the peak of the Golden Core stage?!"
Su Yang instantly remembered the prompt on the panel.
Planting just a branch of the Fusang Divine Tree in the spirit field was enough to boost both spiritual and demonic power.
The combined spiritual power of Frostblood Soul, Orchid Ice Lotus, and other spiritual herbs enabled her to break through the Golden Core realm.
Unexpectedly, after reaching the Golden Core stage, her cultivation level suddenly rose to the peak of the Golden Core stage, almost reaching the Nascent Soul stage!
Su Yang could only manage a wry smile.
Donghuang Xihe once said that as long as she finds a way to cultivate the demonic path before breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, she will be able to fully activate her Chaos Spiritual Root and resolve her current predicament.
But now...
She's almost at the Nascent Soul stage!
Fortunately, her cultivation level had only just reached the Golden Core stage, and she was still a long way from breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
However, she currently has a large number of spiritual herbs planted in her spiritual field, and these herbs are constantly growing under the nourishment of the spiritual field.
Therefore, even if Su Yang doesn't cultivate, the space constantly enhances her spiritual and demonic power.
Su Yang's expression turned serious.
Without further ado, we must set off for the Demon Realm now.
******
In the Northern Region, within an array formation.
A dense aura of bloodlust filled the entire formation, staining it with a blood-red hue, creating a terrifying and chilling atmosphere.
Ji Ruyan slowly stepped inside, a flash of scarlet blood light appearing in her eyes.
Amidst the dense aura of blood, a blurry black shadow suddenly appeared.
The shadowy figure gradually came into focus, revealing a handsome young man with a pale face, wearing a black cloak, who said in a cold voice:
"Your master is waiting for you."
Ji Ruyan looked at the young man and narrowed her eyes slightly.
A strange smile curved her lips, and she silently followed behind the young man.
After walking for a while, a solemn palace finally came into view.
Upon entering the hall, a man in black wearing a skull mask sat on a prayer mat in the center.
"You came?"
Ji Ruyan carefully examined the black-clad skeleton above and smiled gently.
"Ji Ruyan pays her respects to Senior."
Upon seeing Ji Ruyan in this state, Lin Xuanfeng, who was standing next to her, showed a look of astonishment.
The two insects they had found were of no concern to the evil cultivators of their Blood Fiend Alliance.
Since their Blood Fiend Alliance had dealings with the insectoid race, no matter how arrogant the two insects were, and no matter how resentful Lin Xuanfeng was, he dared not easily teach them a lesson as long as his master did not speak.
But why is the last insect they found different from the other two?
The man in black above nodded slightly. "The body you're inhabiting is quite something."
His cultivation level is at the peak of the Void Refinement stage, and he is already able to discern some things.
The person this insect infests possesses considerable luck...
However, what he didn't know was that Ji Ruyan's current luck had already been depleted by Su Yang's repeated attacks.
How could the destiny of a female protagonist be ordinary?
Ji Ruyan chuckled softly and continued:
"Senior, we are one, there is no such thing as parasitism between us."
"I, Ji Ruyan, am a member of the Zerg!"
Ji Ruyan's words surprised both the man in black and Lin Xuanfeng.
"Senior, may I take a look at the other two insects?"
The man in black nodded slightly. "Alright."
Immediately afterwards, the man in black waved his hand lightly, and two streams of bloody energy appeared before Ji Ruyan's eyes.
Two enormous eggs, exuding a chilling aura, appeared out of nowhere.
Ji Ruyan licked her lips, and then she raised her hand, unleashing two beams of black light.
The two beams of black light enveloped the two eggs.
The next moment, a violent, painful sound came from the two eggs.
"Ahhhh!"
"You want to kill us?!"
"We are insects born from the same source! We also bear the responsibility of giving birth to the insect race! You can't kill us!"
The shouts and curses emanating from the egg resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
Lin Xuanfeng frowned deeply, but when he looked up and saw that his master was not making any movement, he also calmed down.
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyan was not angry; instead, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
"Hehe, we are born from the same source, of course I won't kill you."
"After all, if I'm the only one left, wouldn't the responsibility of laying the eggs fall on me before the insect queen breaks the seal?"
"Don't worry, I will keep you, but I will completely erase your intelligence and turn you into nothing more than tools that can only lay insect eggs."
"In that case, once the insect queen breaks the seal, I'll have to put in less effort to kill you."
Of these seven insects, they will eventually kill each other, leaving only one alive.
Only one survived and evolved into the second queen.
After Ji Ruyan finished speaking, she increased the intensity of the black light again.
Half an hour later, the screams from inside the egg gradually stopped.
The constantly shimmering patterns and wriggling surface on the eggshells indicate that the two eggs are not dead.
"Pop!" "Pap!" "Pap!"
Loud applause reached Ji Ruyan's ears.
The man in black above chuckled softly.
"Haha, as expected of the first insect to be born, it is indeed much smarter than the other six."
After doing all this, Ji Ruyan looked up at the man in black without any fear.
"Thank you for your kind words, senior."
“We insects communicate with each other, so of course I know how those two treated you.”
"Our Zerg race and the Blood Fiend Alliance are allies. Without the Blood Fiend Alliance's help, our Zerg race would not have developed to this point so quickly."
"You've refrained from teaching these two insects a lesson because of the Zerg, but I have no such reservations."
"Once our Zerg have completely conquered the Canglan Realm, we certainly won't treat the Blood Fiend Alliance unfairly!"
Ji Ruyan knew that for the evil cultivators of their Blood Fiend Alliance, the higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it was to advance.
Evil cultivators practice bloodthirsty energy, which is most easily countered by lightning.
Therefore, the higher the cultivation level of an evil cultivator, the more difficult it is for them to overcome the heavenly tribulation.
Furthermore, the Canglan Realm despises these evil cultivators, so cooperating with the insectoid race is their only way to survive.
"Senior, these two insects will only be tools for laying insect eggs in the future. With them around, there will be a continuous stream of insects being born."
Ji Ruyan did this partly to gain favor with the Blood Fiend Alliance, but also out of personal motives.
These two insects will then produce eggs in an unrestrained, mechanical, and continuous manner.
This reduced her stress.
In the frigid ice realm, ever since she awoke, she had been continuously producing insect eggs until the exit of the extreme realm opened.
That period was her nightmare, filled with the pain of childbirth, and especially the fact that this pain would continue endlessly!
She was driven almost crazy during that time! So she didn't want to go through it a second time.
"Senior, I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."
"If there's any news, you can let me know through these two idiots."
After Ji Ruyan finished speaking, she ignored the expressions of the man in black and Lin Xuanfeng and left the formation on her own.
She was going to the Demon Realm when the opportunity in her mind resurfaced.
This time, her opportunity lies in the Demon Realm.
And it's also a bit special...
She needs to find other opportunities to improve her strength as soon as possible.
That bitch Su Yang stole her Soul-Devouring Pearl.
She used some unknown means to sever the connection between herself and the Soul-Devouring Pearl!
Even though her soul imprint was clearly on the Soul Devouring Pearl, she couldn't sense even the slightest trace of its aura in the vast Canglan Realm.
The man in black above nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing.
After Ji Ruyan left, Lin Xuanfeng, who had been silent all along, finally asked curiously:
"Master, are we just going to let her leave like this?"
"If something happens to her, wouldn't we be missing a bug?"
The man in black shook his head.
"She is clearly only at the Golden Core stage, but I can sense a dangerous aura emanating from her."
"What?" Lin Xuanfeng asked in surprise.
Lin Xuanfeng stared in the direction Ji Ruyan had left, his pupils suddenly shrinking.
His master's cultivation was at the peak of the Void Refining stage, just one step away from breaking through to the Body Integration stage.
But the owner said he sensed a dangerous aura on that insect!
On the other side, after leaving the formation, Ji Ruyan sped towards the large teleportation array in the Northern Region.
******
The large teleportation array in the Northern Region is located in Tianxu City, the largest city in the Northern Region.
This place is incredibly valuable, and it's even rumored that there's a top-grade spiritual vein beneath the city walls.
The only large teleportation array in the Northern Region is located in Tianxu City.
Tianxu City is the largest and most developed city in the Northern Region.
All the renowned cultivation families of the Northern Region have taken root in Tianxu City.
However, the most powerful force in Tianxu City is still the Tianxu Sect.
The city lord's mansion of the Tianxu Sect is guarded by a Venerable of the Integration Realm who has reached the Perfect Integration Realm.
When Su Yang arrived outside Tianxu City, she saw crowds of people queuing up to enter the city.
Before entering the city, everyone must have their soul aura recorded on the Spirit Network checked to prevent any insectoids from infiltrating.
Above the city gate, a Nascent Soul Sovereign and several Nascent Soul True Sovereigns were stationed.
To avoid trouble, Su Yang used the Divine Concealment Bamboo to change her appearance and aura, blending into the crowd to queue for entry into the city.
The detection method is very simple. Just by releasing a wisp of one's divine soul aura into the array of Tianxu City, the identity aura of the cultivator's spiritual network can be detected.
The speed at which the cultivator's spiritual network aura was detected was also very fast. Su Yang was at the end of the long queue, and after only a quarter of an hour, it was her turn.
Su Yang entered Tianxu City smoothly, but she did not go to the teleportation array immediately. Instead, she found a guest room to stay in.
She wanted to buy some things and gather some information in Tianxu City.
