Chapter 641: Aftermath of the Battle, Spiritual Objects Acquired!
Liu Yu's expression was indifferent as he gently waved his left palm.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
In the next moment, countless strands of azure flames fell from his palm, drifting toward the various demonic beasts on the ground and in the sky.
"Roar~!"
The mournful roars of the beasts often abruptly stopped before they could fully rise.
Even a trace of the second-grade azure yang devil fire was enough to turn them to ashes in mere moments.
Their flesh and essence became fuel for the devil fire’s growth.
Facing a golden core cultivator along with a second-grade spiritual fire, the harsh reality was far too despairing for low-level demonic beasts.
Even if they fought desperately, they could not change the final outcome.
Strands of azure flames continuously waved from his palm, absorbing fuel to grow stronger, before returning from all directions to his palm.
Once Liu Yu confirmed that the area around Spiritual Martial City was temporarily safe, he did not hesitate at all, flying through without leaving any survivors!
Every demonic beast within his sight turned into fuel for the devil fire!
However, he also had many competitors.
Some clever golden core cultivators similarly wanted to seize the opportunity to hunt some demonic beasts in order to exchange for resources back in Great Qian.
After all, during their time as prisoners, all their possessions had already been stripped away.
Even after being rescued by the Zhang Clan and receiving a conditional gift of a magical artifact, they were still left with nothing.
At this time, aside from a magical artifact, they only had a storage bag and a few spiritual stones, so they had to find a way to obtain resources.
The surviving low-level demonic beasts were a very good choice, as they were overwhelmingly weak, and there was no worry of retaliation from the demonic race.
After all, they were about to leave.
"Flap!"
With a gentle flap of his black wind wings, Liu Yu swiftly moved around the vicinity of Spiritual Martial City, as countless low-level demonic beasts turned to ash at his command.
Although there were quite a few competitors, his status as the "Captain" and his previous accomplishments of destroying key nodes were well-known.
Thus, apart from those of the same level, most golden core cultivators kept their distance.
The collection of fuel, although not as quick as expected, was overall quite smooth.
After a quarter of an hour, the azure escape light paused at the east gate of Spiritual Martial City.
"Ten thousand degrees."
A fireball the size of an egg flickered in his palm, and after a slight sense, Liu Yu deduced the current growth of the azure yang devil fire.
"It has already reached the peak of the second grade; next, I need to collect a third-grade spiritual fire."
With this thought flashing through his mind, he stored the azure yang devil fire in his dantian, nodding slightly in satisfaction.
The devil fire had met the basic requirements for promotion; it could continue to absorb fuel and its power could increase significantly.
However, compared to before, it was somewhat less efficient.
It often took five degrees of fuel to achieve the previous one degree of effect, and unless it truly advanced to the third grade, its power would not see a significant increase.
With his spiritual consciousness sweeping the area around Spiritual Martial City, he found that, under the hunting of more than a dozen golden core cultivators, the low-level demonic beasts were nearly wiped out, and continuing to hunt would be futile.
Thus, Liu Yu shifted his escape light, heading directly into Spiritual Martial City, not planning to take any further action.
The demonic race had only temporarily retreated; they would not easily give up on Spiritual Martial City.
Once they amassed enough power, a counterattack could happen at any time.
He did not wish to linger too long and experience another life-and-death battle.
“The divine transformation sovereign and the yuan ying true monarch have both appeared; they have surpassed the golden core level too much, so I need to minimize contact with high-level cultivators.”
