Chapter 104: Re-entering Ten Across Mountains
Yun Ye reignited the flames, clearing dark injuries and poison, further adjusting his condition.
Unfortunately, the lost lifespan could not be restored.
Yun Ye entered the twelfth challenge.
“Ancient unparalleled genius, Thunder True Feather—Essence unlocked.”
The words and sounds in this challenge were somewhat intermittent.
Thunder True Feather was the same.
He emerged much more slowly than in previous challenges, and his figure occasionally flickered with instability.
Not understanding the situation, Yun Ye decided to take the initiative and focus his mind.
Essence mode!
“Essence of Fire!”
“Chaos!”
The world turned red, creating a realm unique to Yun Ye.
While it was rough, merely thin red air lingering, it was indeed a realm.
“Essence Great Thunder Heaven!”
Thunder True Feather materialized, entering Essence mode to engage Yun Ye in battle.
His Essence was suppressed by Chaos, unable to draw upon external energy, relying solely on his own power. Even so, his terrifying combat strength allowed him to endure and not be instantly defeated by Yun Ye.
However, Yun Ye’s Essence was only a half-finished product, capable of lasting a maximum of three seconds before exploding.
“What a guy, truly impressive… Is this what a genius looks like?”
Yun Ye had never faced such a troublesome opponent; even his Essence seemed ineffective and could not fully activate.
After pondering for a moment, Yun Ye tried again several times, but without exception, he failed each time.
“It seems a half-finished Essence really can’t win. I need to extend the duration to at least ten seconds.”
Yun Ye left Zhu Village, heading straight for Ten Across Mountains.
Nine Bone Spirit Grass.
This was a top-tier Spiritual Herb that, once consumed, would immediately grant the Nine Bone spiritual body. To surpass Thunder True Feather, this herb was his only hope!
Moreover, the timing was right—one team’s emotions should have "naturally" settled down, making it the perfect time for him to enact his revenge.
…
Ten Across Mountains.
Yun Ye thought one team’s emotions “should have” calmed down, but that was merely the outcome he needed; he didn’t care about the reality.
However, the actual situation was clearly the opposite.
Let alone ordinary Black Armor fighters like Shi Baiyan, even Li Fahxing, who possessed Captain level strength, was unable to keep his mind at ease, fearing another annihilating force might emerge and take him down on the spot.
Cultivating strength without cultivating the heart—this was likely what was happening.
Li Fahxing actually felt that something was strange and wondered if this type of attack could only be used once.
But the more he knew, the more he thought, and the more he feared the uncertainty.
Yes, theoretically, there could be such a situation.
But what if?
What if the opponent could use it a second time?
Reaching Li Fahxing’s high position meant that risking his life was not an option; that was something only the lower-class should do, and it didn’t apply to him.
Even if there was just a slight possibility, Li Fahxing would not take the gamble. So, whether he remained calm or not at that moment, he would only make one decision: to retreat, to step back!
However, retreating did not mean Li Fahxing did nothing; he was also angry, frustrated.
So…
“Have we sent someone to watch the Cracking Wind Narrow? Do we want to see if it was an ambush by ‘people’?”
From the perspective of the Eye of Invisible Light, Yun Ye observed the spiritual reactions of three individuals from a great distance.
They were all from the same team of Black Armored Spiritual Law, ordered to lie in wait here.
And they were positioned far apart to prevent being eliminated at the same time.
“If I kill them now, with the life tokens, Li Fahxing will immediately know what happened here.”
“But, would Li Fahxing dare to come?”
Yun Ye felt somewhat dismissive.
He didn’t even need to gamble; he could directly confirm the outcome—this was the nature of these aristocratic family members.
Moreover, if Li Fahxing dared to come, Yun Ye would ensure he had no chance to return!
The times were different now!
“Three Mystical True Fire Spiritual Bow!”
Yun Ye conjured the large bow, nocking a fiery arrow, aiming at the area where the three were.
If it were the old him, it would indeed have been difficult to hit from such a distance.
But the Three Mystical True Fire was far stronger than a single Extreme Flame, and with the new attribute boost, killing enemies at mid-range was no longer a problem.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Three arrows shot out quickly.
The three had no resistance and were instantly pierced through, nailed to the spot.
With Yun Ye’s precise control, the Three Mystical True Fire only burned their bodies, preserving the Spiritual Herbs.
After collecting the Spiritual Herbs, Yun Ye ascended the mountain through the front entrance this time.
And just as Yun Ye expected,
After realizing the life tokens had shattered, Li Fahxing truly did not take action, even actively moving away from Cracking Wind Mountain.
“Three people died at the same time; there must be some terrifying beast lurking… It’s impossible to obtain the Nine Bone Spirit Grass; that is certain death!”
Li Fahxing murmured to himself as he completely distanced himself from Cracking Wind Mountain, deciding not to take any further action.
In the Crescent Moon Secret Realm, there were only two forces: the Spiritual Law of Baishi Town and the monsters in the secret realm.
With Tong Yuan and six of his teammates continuously dying, it was clear that Baishi Town’s forces could not have achieved this alone.
Among the five Captains, only Ji Ming’e could overpower Tong Yuan, and she was the only one who might have a way to counter the Spirit Law chains… but killing Tong Yuan in such a situation was impossible.
Moreover, she had no reason to do so.
The monsters were surely Great Disaster monsters.
A Great Disaster monster was guarding the Top-tier Spiritual Herb, not allowing them to take it, and there might even be several of them balancing each other out, which was why they hadn’t appeared.
However, monsters were not human; they had cultivation methods that allowed them to fully unleash the power of the Nine Bone Spirit Grass.
But a Top-tier Spiritual Herb alone should not be enough to attract a Great Disaster.
Could it be because of that special Wind Tree?
Li Fahxing left with confusion, not daring to investigate further.
…
Yun Ye approached Cracking Wind Mountain again, and the feeling was completely different.
This time he did not forcefully confront the Cracking Wind.
He felt completely relaxed.
His strength was at its peak.
Gazing at the towering tree that connected heaven and earth with the Cracking Wind, a hint of awe filled Yun Ye’s eyes.
The life form of the Wind Tree was undoubtedly miraculous, born from countless coincidences.
Unfortunately, no matter how miraculous it was, Yun Ye would not show mercy at this moment.
“Celestial Phenomenon, reveal your moment!”
Yun Ye activated the Celestial Phenomenon.
With his current strength, he was confident he could defeat the Wind Tree, but it would likely take a lot of time.
Therefore, he directly activated the Celestial Phenomenon!
The Celestial Phenomenon unfolded dramatically.
Unlike last time, Yun Ye this time infused his own spirit energy into the control.
The reason magic artifacts require incantations is mainly because there is no spirit energy connection between the artifact and the user.
In other words, a single release of the artifact does not consume the owner’s power.
Only the second release requires connecting spirit energy for control.
Earlier, Yun Ye had been overwhelmed by the poison from the herbs, so he relied entirely on the inherent power of the Celestial Phenomenon to aim and attack. In the end, he even left Tong Yuan with two feet left.
Now, he needed to deal with the Wind Tree while not harming the Nine Bone Spirit Grass, so accuracy was crucial.
“Halo Fire!”
Yun Ye’s method of positioning was simple: Extreme Flame · Eye of Light.
Halo Fire could only create light, but it was excellent for guidance and could strike from an extremely long distance.
As a beam of light fell upon the trunk of the Wind Tree, a Spirit-Breaking Bullet shot out.
