Chapter 748 747: Refining the Empress Battle Armor! Chu Sheng's Spiritual Nourishment

"Fire Rock Ghost Vine."

Gu Yuexi's tone held a hint of surprise.

This type of Spiritual Plant contained a dense Law of Fire.

After a Cultivator absorbed and refined it, their mastery over the Law of Fire would be greatly enhanced.

For many Cultivators who practiced the Fire Element Law, it was a treasure they could only dream of.

But Gu Yuexi didn't need it.

Her mastery of all Laws had already reached the pinnacle of perfection.

This Law of Fire was completely useless to her.

However, the Fire Rock Ghost Vine had another use that many Cultivators were unaware of.

Its vines were incredibly resilient and infused with the Law of Fire, making them suitable for strengthening magical treasures and equipment, boosting their power.

Gu Yuexi currently had three handy magical treasures.

The first was the Godslaying Ruins Sword, the personal sword of the Divine Realm expert, Lin Daosheng.

However, the more familiar she became with the sword, the more she felt that Lin Daosheng was likely more than just a Divine Realm expert.

The sword's foundation was simply too profound.

It was very likely that, just like Immortal Venerable Shi Xi, Lin Daosheng was also an expert from the Immortal Realm.

The second was the Soul-Eroding Nails.

A treasure casually refined by Immortal Venerable Shi Xi, it could now be considered returned to its rightful owner.

The power of these three Soul-Eroding Nails was unquestionable.

Not only were they effortless for Gu Yuexi to use, but she could also unleash their maximum power.

The third was the Empress Battle Armor.

A twofold boost to All Attributes and combat power was undeniably strong.

But compared to Chu Sheng's Silent Annihilation Battle Armor, it was somewhat lacking.

The Empress Battle Armor could only boost attributes twofold.

The Silent Annihilation Battle Armor, on the other hand, could boost attributes up to tenfold!

Gu Yuexi couldn't help but complain internally, 'Author, aren't you a little too biased toward the protagonist?!'

She had wanted to upgrade the power of her Empress Battle Armor for a long time.

She just hadn't come across any suitable materials.

And now, the materials had delivered themselves to her doorstep.

Faced with the overwhelming swarm of fire rock vines, Gu Yuexi simply raised a hand calmly and released her Law of Fire.

A faint layer of golden flame enveloped her.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

The sound of the fire rock vines whipping through the air whistled past, carrying a scorching heat, as if mocking Gu Yuexi's ignorance.

'I'm a Fire Element Spiritual Plant, born of heaven and earth, and you think you can fight me with the Fire Element Law?'

'What damn good will that do?!'

However, when the fire rock vines actually collided with Gu Yuexi's Law of Fire...

SIZZLE! The smell of something burning instantly filled the passageway.

The vines at the very front were immediately ignited by the golden flames and instantly burned to ash.

It was as if the Fire Rock Ghost Vine had met its natural predator.

All the vines trembled and tried to retract, their previous aggressive arrogance completely gone.

But how could Gu Yuexi possibly let her pre-selected materials for refining a magical treasure escape so easily?

"Divine Thought Cage!"

Gu Yuexi let out a low cry.

An invisible Divine Thought spread out like a tide.

It swiftly enveloped all the fire rock vines that had emerged.

No matter how the fire rock vines struggled or thrashed, they could not break through the Divine Thought Cage.

Wasting no time, Gu Yuexi immediately activated her Refining Technique.

She began to refine and melt the fire rock vines bit by bit, fusing them into her Empress Battle Armor.

In a short while, a fiery red color, like a burning flame, coated the outside of the Empress Battle Armor.

A moment later, the fiery red color gradually faded, slowly merging into the Empress Battle Armor's interior.

The surface of the Empress Battle Armor returned to its original appearance, looking no different than before.

But the Empress Battle Armor's power had increased from a twofold boost to All Attributes to a threefold boost!

"Not bad."

Gu Yuexi nodded in satisfaction.

Although the boost had only increased by a single fold, she knew that if she continued to refine it with suitable materials in the future, the power of the Empress Battle Armor would surely continue to grow.

「Meanwhile.」

Chu Sheng flew into the cold, blue-glowing passageway on the right.

He moved as if he were on a familiar path, looking like he had been here many times before.

In truth, he had simply activated his Chaos True Sight upon entering the Land of Burial.

Chaos True Sight and his other area-of-effect Skills had their ranges significantly reduced by the suppression of the Spirit Realm's Heavenly Dao Laws.

But this Land of Burial wasn't very large.

His Full-Level Chaos True Sight could basically see most of the area clearly.

This included the two forking paths and the massive palace where they converged at the end.

The reason Chu Sheng chose the right path was not only because the left passageway was easier for Gu Yuexi to traverse, but also because the right passageway contained something he wanted—Void Soul Beasts.

From the day of their birth, Void Soul Beasts possessed only a Divine Soul and no physical body.

Physical Attacks were completely ineffective; only Divine Soul Attacks could harm them.

Their Divine Soul strength was at least at the level of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

A Cultivator at or above the Divinity Transformation Realm could kill them with ease.

But for Cultivators below the Divinity Transformation Realm, their Divine Souls were generally weaker than a Void Soul Beast's, and their physical Attacks were useless. They stood no chance against them.

Encountering one was a death sentence.

And the Cultivators who had entered this time had a peak Realm of Half-Step Divinity Transformation, with most being at the Profound Understanding Realm.

They had no hope of survival on this path unless they possessed a Divine Artifact that could defend against Divine Soul Attacks.

But those who entered were basically all Loose Cultivators.

With no backing and no resources, how could a Profound Understanding Realm Loose Cultivator possibly possess a powerful Divine Artifact?

Let alone one of the rarest types: a Divine Artifact that defends against Divine Soul Attacks.

The result was what Chu Sheng was seeing now: nearly all the Cultivators who had entered had become corpses on the ground.

Upon Chu Sheng's arrival, there was no shouting, no sneak attack. The Void Soul Beasts immediately swarmed him.

Over a hundred translucent Soul Bodies floated in the air, letting out sharp screeches as they directly launched a Divine Soul assault on Chu Sheng.

An invisible wave of Divine Soul power surged toward Chu Sheng like a tide.

'Ancient Calming God Spell! Activate!'

Chu Sheng recited silently in his mind, and a ring-like golden Divine Soul Barrier instantly unfolded.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

A series of invisible collisions rang out.

The Divine Soul Attacks launched by the Void Soul Beasts slammed squarely into the Ancient Calming God Spell.

Then, they were reflected right back, completely unchanged.

Before the Void Soul Beasts could even react, they were struck by their own reflected Attacks.

They had never imagined that they would one day be on the receiving end of their own Attacks.

Caught completely off guard, they were sent reeling by their own Divine Soul Attacks.

Seizing the opportunity, Chu Sheng's thoughts shifted, and he immediately summoned over a hundred Soul-Collecting Butterflies from his Chaos Nest.

The Soul-Collecting Butterflies' Soul Devourer Skill, which specialized in absorbing an enemy's Divine Soul, was the perfect natural counter to the Void Soul Beasts.

More than a hundred purple Soul-Collecting Butterflies flapped their wings and charged forward.

Like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, they bit down on the disoriented Void Soul Beasts.

The Void Soul Beasts' Divine Souls were already unstable from the reflected Attacks, leaving them powerless to resist.

In just a short while, all the Void Soul Beasts had their Divine Souls drained until they were depleted, turning them into mindless husks with completely transparent Soul Bodies.

Without a Divine Soul and without a physical form, the Void Soul Beasts could only float stupidly in place, waiting to dissipate and die completely.

The Soul-Collecting Butterflies returned, laden with their spoils.

This wave of absorbed Divine Souls not only replenished the Divine Soul Honey Brew that Chu Sheng had consumed to advance his Realm last night,

but also left a surplus of Divine Soul Honey Brew to be stored in the Chaos Nest.

This was the main reason he had deliberately chosen the right passageway—purely to stock up on "Spiritual Nourishment."

Of course, there was another reason.

If Gu Yuexi, who had not yet advanced to the Divinity Transformation Realm, had taken this path, she would have had a great deal of trouble encountering a swarm of Void Soul Beasts and could have easily suffered a loss.

Recalling all the Soul-Collecting Butterflies, Chu Sheng didn't linger and continued flying deeper into the passageway.

There, a big guy was waiting for him.
