Chapter 636: Chapter 632: Purple Extreme Divine Light

Nanshan Collection was no place to linger, after all.

After leaving, Hong Yu deployed his Divine Demon Wings and soared high into the sky. There was a unique thrill to flying between the layers of clouds and mist.

He only descended from the sky after putting a good three thousand kilometers between himself and Nanshan Collection. By then, night had fallen. A bright moon hung in the sky, scattering its brilliant light upon the land.

It was like a pure fairy scattering a flurry of white blossoms.

Hong Yu landed on an isolated mountain peak. At its summit was a cave inhabited by a Tier Five Desolate Beast—a Cyan Eagle.

Hong Yu swiftly slew it and claimed the Cyan Eagle’s nest for himself.

SIZZLE!

Over the fire, a pair of golden-brown eagle wings released a rich aroma. Droplets of fat sizzled and popped as they hit the flames.

Hong Yu tore off a roasted wing and tossed it to Huhu, who was squatting nearby.

The little guy had already run out on his own while Hong Yu was grilling, and he was now staring pitifully at him, a large puddle of drool forming on the ground.

Watching Huhu hug a roasted wing several times its size and gnaw on it ferociously, its mouth dripping with grease, Hong Yu couldn’t help but smile. The heavy thoughts weighing on his mind lightened considerably.

He rubbed Huhu’s fluffy head. "Huhu, you’ve been with me for a few years now, haven’t you?"

"Hoo?"

Huhu looked up, blinking its jewel-like eyes.

Its black and white fur was already covered in glistening grease, which made it look exceptionally cute.

Hong Yu chuckled. "You’ve scammed quite a few treasures out of me over the years, haven’t you? How come I never see you getting any bigger?"

"Huhu!"

Huhu raised a tiny fist and shook it.

It was as if it were flexing its muscles, protesting Hong Yu’s claim that it hadn’t grown.

Hong Yu burst out laughing. "Alright, alright, it’s all gone to muscle!"

Only then did Huhu lower its head in satisfaction and resume its ferocious gnawing.

The little creature especially loved chewing the cartilage on the joints, which made a loud CRUNCH.

Hong Yu’s gaze drifted away, toward the vast sky outside the cave. The moon was bright and the stars were few. The mountain wind howled, ruffling his long hair. A hint of sorrow clouded his distant eyes. ’Yaoyao, are you doing okay over there? Have you seen Mom and Dad?’ He gently caressed the Storage Ring on his finger, his gaze hardening with resolve. ’Soon. I’ll be coming to the Desert North Wilderness to find you all soon!’

Taking a deep breath, Hong Yu began to take stock of his situation.

’Just as the Peacock King said, all the experts in the True Dragon Battlefield are looking for me right now.’

’They’re trying to take my Venerable Golden Bone.’

’And many of them don’t just want the treasure; they want me dead.’

’Venerable Xiahuang, for one. The Eastern Divine City, for another...’

’I have to increase my strength as quickly as possible to carve a path out of this. Otherwise, a premature death will likely be all that awaits me.’

’If that happens, going to the Desert North Wilderness, reuniting with my family, saving Beichen Tianshuang, killing Hai Tongtian... ’

’...it’ll all become nothing more than a dying wish!’

That was something Hong Yu could not tolerate.

’I’ve already obtained the Jade Sun Purple Light Lingzhi and the Cyan Lotus Earth Heart Fruit. The Ten Thousand Year-old Polygonum multiflorum is in the War Spirit Holy Land, but that place is located in the core region and is a Forbidden Land for the Eight Great Battle Clans. If I go to the core region with my current strength, certain death is all that awaits me.’

Hong Yu’s gaze was somber, but his mind was crystal clear. ’But without the Ten Thousand Year-old Polygonum multiflorum, I can’t refine the Nine Orifice Breaking God Pill. How can I advance to the Primordial Spirit Realm?’

Since he couldn’t advance his cultivation, his only option was to rely on external items.

He began to take inventory.

In terms of Martial Skills, the strongest he currently possessed were the Piercing Void Spear Technique, the Great Destruction Fist, and the Flying Thunder Divine Skill.

Techniques like the Thunder Fire Sky Breaking Fist had gradually been phased out as his strength grew.

Then, his Primordial Weapons...

It was difficult to upgrade the Fire Cloud Divine Armor. Only by finding true Phoenix True Flame or a top-grade fire attribute ore could he restore it to its peak condition.

The Feathered Flying Knife had decent destructive power, and when paired with the Flying Thunder Divine Skill, it could often produce unexpected results.

However, surprise attacks with flying sabers were ultimately just a trick.

If an opponent had strong Battle Armor or wasn’t afraid of that trace of Phoenix True Flame, the Feathered Flying Knife’s lethality would be drastically reduced.

This was why Hong Yu didn’t use the flying sabers often.

That made upgrading the Godslaying Spear an urgent priority.

Fortunately, with the Unsealing Stone gifted by the Xishang King, upgrading the Godslaying Spear would be easy. He just needed to refine it slightly.

But that clearly wasn’t enough!

’The Wind and Thunder Beast Technique is a Secret Technique passed down by the Fire Cloud Venerable. If I can successfully cultivate it, my strength will see a significant boost. Unfortunately, I haven’t heard of any place where I can absorb Wind Fiends and thunder-fire. I’ll have to rely on chance.’

Hong Yu muttered to himself, his thoughts finally landing on his Pupil Techniques.

’I have the Thunder Emperor’s Divine Eyes and the Ice Blue Star Eyes. Right now, the only technique for my Ice Blue Star Eyes with any real power is the Pupil Technique: Sky-covering, but it’s much weaker against experts at the Primordial Spirit Realm Level. My use of the Thunder Emperor’s Divine Eyes is limited to crude thunder attacks, which is obviously far from enough!’

Hong Yu had personally experienced the power of the Thunder Emperor’s Divine Eyes.

He was well aware of how astounding Pupil Techniques could be; he had just been too busy with other matters to focus on them.

Now that his cultivation was stalled, improving his Pupil Techniques was on the agenda.

Beyond that, Hong Yu had another trump card—the Luo Rune Seal!

He still didn’t know how to use the Life and Death Seal or the Death Rune Seal, but he had some leads on how to upgrade and use the Luo Rune Seal.

Recalling the scene of the Luo Rune Seal erupting in the War God Arena that day, Hong Yu still felt a chill run down his spine.

At this thought, a sharp glint flashed in Hong Yu’s eyes. ’Alright, first I’ll break the Fourth Layer Seal on the Godslaying Spear. Then, I’ll hunt Desolate Beasts to upgrade the Luo Rune Seal. It has a full eighteen thousand stars on it; I wonder what will happen when they’re all lit up. After that, I have to find a Secret Technique for my Pupil Techniques.’

He sent his spiritual consciousness into the Profound Celestial Tower.

Hong Yu asked Little One.

The little guy was spitting out mist to form a mirror image, drooling at the sight of Huhu devouring the roasted wing with gusto.

After learning why Hong Yu had come, he readily gave him two Pupil Technique Secret Techniques. As for the price...

Starting today, Hong Yu was reduced to being a certain idiot’s personal chef, tasked with providing a month’s worth of delicacies!

The two Pupil Technique Secret Techniques were called *Illusory Spirit Celestial Eyes* and *Purple Extreme Divine Light*, the latter of which was specifically for the Thunder Emperor’s Divine Eyes.

The *Illusory Spirit Celestial Eyes* was for creating illusions.

It required Hong Yu to refine a spirit liquid to aid his cultivation; it was essentially an upgraded version of the Pupil Technique: Sky-covering.

Additionally, *Illusory Spirit Celestial Eyes* could also enhance abilities like ’Peeping Essence’.

It was a comprehensive upgrade for his Spiritual Eyes.

Hong Yu happened to have all the necessary medicinal ingredients. After all, he had killed many experts and plundered their Storage Rings, not to mention the numerous treasures from the Hundred Victory War God’s prize pool.

He summoned the Nine Dragon Celestial Cauldron, tossed the ingredients inside, and let it begin the refining process.

Then, he opened *Purple Extreme Divine Light*.

This *Purple Extreme Divine Light* technique had a total of three layers: the First Layer, ’Extinction Divine Light’; the Second Layer, ’Annihilation Divine Light’; and the Third Layer, ’Purple Extreme Divine Light’!

The First-Layer Extinction Divine Light allowed him to channel his Thunder Emperor’s Divine Eyes to shoot out a red divine light.

This divine light could ignore physical defenses.

It directly assaulted the soul, and accompanied by Thunder Power, it was a true soul-killer.

However, the Extinction Divine Light wasn’t a major threat to Primordial Spirit Realm experts.

The Second-Layer Annihilation Divine Light unleashed a black divine light. At this level, the Annihilation Divine Light could cause the soul of an ordinary Primordial Spirit Realm expert to collapse, and its power was five times that of the Extinction Divine Light.

As for the final Purple Extreme Divine Light...

It was the ultimate state of the *Purple Extreme Divine Light* Pupil Technique. It shot out a purple divine light, and even a Yin Yang Realm expert would suffer a terrible fate if struck by it.

The only catch was that this Pupil Technique required absorbing the Power of Extreme Light.

The Sun and Moon Light were both forms of this extreme light.

Hong Yu immediately began to cultivate it. He continued for a full three double-hours before his Thunder Emperor’s Divine Eyes began to feel sore and numb.

With the Thunder Emperor’s Divine Eyes as his foundation, he had already reached the level of the First-Layer Extinction Divine Light by the second double-hour.

As for the Second-Layer Annihilation Divine Light, that would require more time.

But Hong Yu was in no rush.

The Spirit Liquid for cultivating *Illusory Spirit Celestial Eyes* had just finished refining. Hong Yu took it out, placed it in a jade bottle, and then tossed the Godslaying Spear and the Unsealing Stone into the Nine Dragon Celestial Cauldron.

The current Nine Dragon Celestial Cauldron could now confidently handle any refining job below the Seventh Grade.

Although the Godslaying Spear was already Sixth Grade Advanced and would definitely reach the Seventh Grade after this upgrade, the process only involved refining the Unsealing Stone into it to break a seal. The Nine Dragon Celestial Cauldron could still handle it.

He then dripped the Spirit Liquid into his eyes and began cultivating *Illusory Spirit Celestial Eyes*!

HISS!

The moment the Spirit Liquid entered his eyes, Hong Yu’s entire body convulsed.

His eyeballs burned as if they were being seared by a raging fire.

The pain was excruciating.

Fortunately, Hong Yu’s willpower was astonishing. After enduring five double-hours of his eyeballs feeling like they were on fire, he finally completed the cultivation of *Illusory Spirit Celestial Eyes*.

When he opened his eyes, a silver light flowed through his pupils.

As he glanced around, Hong Yu discovered that his vision had become even more astounding.

He could clearly see a mosquito sucking blood on the back of a Desolate Beast ten thousand meters away.

"Excellent! Worthy of the name *Illusory Spirit Celestial Eyes*. It’s truly amazing!" Hong Yu was ecstatic.

At the same time, the Nine Dragon Celestial Cauldron trembled. With a HUM, the Godslaying Spear shot out.

It landed in front of Hong Yu.

"Hmm? The Fourth Layer Seal is broken, and it’s already reached the Seventh Grade Middle Level? The special effect is... Piercing? It ignores armor defenses below the Seventh Grade?" Hong Yu’s eyes widened in excitement.

Ignoring armor defenses below the Seventh Grade was a terrifying boost to the Godslaying Spear’s destructive power!

Wielding the Godslaying Spear, Hong Yu’s combat power increased by at least another thirty percent.

Now that both his Godslaying Spear and Pupil Techniques had been improved, Hong Yu began working on upgrading the Luo Rune Seal. The method for this was, naturally, to hunt Desolate Beasts.

By this time, day had broken.

Using his *Illusory Spirit Celestial Eyes*, Hong Yu located a valley tens of thousands of meters away that seemed to be teeming with Desolate Beasts. He recalled the soundly sleeping little beast to the space inside the tower, then took flight and headed toward the valley.

「An hour later...」

In that valley, over a hundred Desolate Beasts had been slain by Hong Yu.

Just as he was about to leave, he subconsciously scanned the area with his *Illusory Spirit Celestial Eyes* and made an unexpected discovery...
