Chapter 518: The Great Trend!! (For the 500 monthly tickets this month, an additional update!)
The two aspects that most influence the power of a life-bound magical treasure are:
First, the spiritual materials used during the refinement of the magical artifact.
Generally speaking, the rarer and higher-grade the spiritual materials used, the greater the initial power of the refined artifact and the faster its power increases over time.
In this regard, Liu Yu has almost achieved perfection, and there is no room for improvement.
Second, after the magical artifact has been refined, the time spent nurturing it and whether one is willing to consume spiritual energy for its nurturing is crucial.
Most of the time, this second point is even more important than the first.
After all, for ordinary cultivators, how good can the spiritual materials really be, no matter how high their grade?
Even a magical artifact refined with top-grade spiritual materials still requires time and spiritual energy to nurture before its power can gradually increase.
Under normal circumstances, even if a magical artifact is refined with the most precious spiritual materials, its power is hard to surpass that of an artifact that has been nurtured for three to five hundred years.
The main shortcoming of the "Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear" at present is that it has been nurtured for too short a time, having been refined for less than ten years.
Even with the addition of the exceptionally rare "Golden Crow Powder," it still needs time to settle before it can unleash its true brilliance!
However, with the addition of several top-grade spiritual materials, the spear's initial power is already considerable, comparable to that of artifacts nurtured for one or two hundred years.
Yet, Liu Yu's gaze is generally aimed at higher levels, so he still feels unsatisfied.
After finishing the duel of magic, Liu Yu stored the Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear into his dantian and looked around.
He noticed that the spiritual light shining in the night sky was gradually dimming, and the incessant rumbling sounds were slowly fading away.
When golden core cultivators make a move, personally slaughtering second-tier demonic beasts is as easy as chopping vegetables.
The same goes for demon cultivators in the demonic elixir stage.
"Thank you for your rescue, revered master!"
The three death warriors, including White Tiger, approached to pay their respects.
The expressions on their faces were those of survivors after a calamity.
Although under the influence of the "Glazed Heart Confusion Technique," they prioritized Liu Yu's interests, their strong desire for survival followed closely behind.
Seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster is an instinct of all living beings.
Liu Yu nodded lightly. His actions this time were merely to protect his own property, with a certain element of showmanship involved, and there was nothing to be happy about.
Then, he began to inquire about the details of the four satellite cities being breached.
"Reporting to the revered master, the reason the satellite cities fell so quickly is that there were third-tier demon cultivators involved."
White Tiger's expression turned serious as he quickly explained the sequence of events.
For a satellite city with only second-tier city defense formations, the presence of third-tier demon cultivators is almost an unstoppable force, and being easily breached is indeed understandable.
"Third-tier demon cultivators?"
"The beast tide has just begun, and there are already third-tier demon cultivators involved?"
Liu Yu furrowed his brows, feeling that something was amiss, even sensing a somewhat aggressive pressure from the demonic beasts.
Although in the war between humans and demons, incidents of high-tier cultivators slaughtering low-tier ones are not uncommon, they usually occur in the mid to late stages.
This war is still in its very early stages; the emergence of this situation might signify something.
For instance, does it indicate that the demonic race is determined to achieve certain results?
