Chapter 814: Sealing the Mountains for a Century, Leaving Lightly
In his true form, standing at twenty-one zhang tall, Liu Yu broke through layer upon layer of defenses to arrive before the Mad Sand True Monarch, his black armor radiating a crimson spiritual light.
He gathered his strength slightly, and with a terrifying physical power, he swung his right fist with a thunderous force.
Intentional Explosive Fist!
In an instant, an immense force surged forth, unleashing a terrifying wave of power.
In the eyes of the Mad Sand True Monarch, a massive black fist glowing with red spiritual light rapidly enlarged.
However, Liu Yu was simply too fast; within this brief moment, she had no time to evade.
“Bang!”
Under this punch, the physical body of the yuan ying cultivator shattered like fragile paper, dispersing into a mist of blood in the air.
Even without refining her body, the Mad Sand True Monarch’s physique, which had undergone years of spiritual energy cleansing, was certainly not weak.
At the very least, she could withstand several hits from a magical treasure without major issues.
Yet, an attack from the same level could still deal a devastating blow to a yuan ying body!
Thus, under Liu Yu's fourth stage body refinement power, it was not surprising at all that her physical body was destroyed by a single punch.
However, just before her body was obliterated, the brilliance in the Mad Sand True Monarch's bright eyes had already dimmed rapidly.
Suddenly, minute spatial fluctuations appeared.
In a critical moment, the Mad Sand True Monarch decisively abandoned her physical body and used her yuan ying to perform the instantaneous movement technique, escaping the range of attack.
When she reappeared, she was already fifty miles away.
“Hmm?”
Sensing the spatial fluctuations, Liu Yu's heart stirred, and his cold eyes turned sharply to look.
He quickly locked onto the four-inch-sized yellow yuan ying fifty miles away.
“Whether it’s a demonic infant or a yuan ying, its effect is no less than that of some fourth stage spiritual objects.”
“Refining and consuming it through various means can effectively enhance the cultivation of fourth stage beings.”
“The effect might even far exceed that of a fourth stage spiritual elixir!”
“What if I captured it, extracted the essence of the yuan ying, and added it during alchemical pill refining?”
As he gazed at the yellow yuan ying, various thoughts flashed through Liu Yu's mind, and he felt quite tempted.
However, just as this thought arose, he sensed a tremendous horror, as if something unknown was about to descend!
In an instant, he extinguished that thought.
For reasons unknown, consuming a cultivator’s yuan ying was naturally out of the question.
Since the taboo could not be touched, this “daring” thought had to be suppressed, and it would have to be destroyed instead.
As the thoughts flashed by, while locking onto the yellow yuan ying, Liu Yu's storage bracelet glimmered.
A pale bone knife, about a zhang long, appeared before him; it was the true treasure “Bone Cleaving Sky Blade” obtained from the Bone Old Demon.
Compared to true instantaneous movement, the escape speeds of cultivators and demonic beasts, or the attack speeds of spells and divine abilities, were undoubtedly much slower.
Under normal circumstances, catching up was impossible.
In plain sight, Liu Yu couldn't conveniently use the Sword of Ruin.
Thus, this treasure with spatial attribute and extremely fast attack speed was the best choice at the moment.
“Swift!”
Under the night sky, Liu Yu made spell gestures with both hands.
A pure magical power was injected into the Bone Cleaving Sky Blade, fully unleashing the power of this treasure.
“Buzz buzz~”
Minute spatial fluctuations emerged, and the next instant, the Bone Cleaving Sky Blade vanished from its original position.
When it reappeared, it was already within five miles of the yellow yuan ying.
Locked onto by the Bone Cleaving Sky Blade, the Mad Sand True Monarch felt an intense sense of crisis in her spiritual perception, feeling as if a thorn was lodged in her back.
