23: No. 1 on the Peak List

Seeing the Tier 2 Low Grade demon, the demon heart, Li Ye’s eyes immediately grew tense.

How could his luck be so bad?

Just thinking about it, what kind of low probability is it to encounter a Foundation Establishment Stage demon when everyone is in the early Qi Refining stage?

However, Li Ye was not unable to defeat it; he had the Profound Rank High Grade Spiritual Artifact, Xuan Tian Sword.

There was no need to even think about it; the Profound Rank High Grade Xuan Tian Sword could directly break through the demon’s defenses.

It’s just that…

What he needed to be careful of was that the opponent also had means to instantly kill him!

The demon heart charged over!

Li Ye shouted loudly:

“You all return to the Immortal Cave first; I will handle this demon!”

The two women, one demon, and one beast were stunned for a moment; they could sense the immense strength of the demon heart!

However, at this moment, Yan Xiaoji took the lead!

She whimpered, then directly came to Li Ye’s side, indicating that she wanted to fight alongside him!

As a servant, Yan Xiaoji couldn't possibly watch her master die!

Li Ye was slightly taken aback.

And Ermi was not to be outdone; she quickly came to Li Ye’s side, meowing a few times.

She indicated that she also wanted to fight alongside her master, Li Ye.

Bai Jie and Lin Qiuyao exchanged glances, their eyes also filled with determination, unwilling to retreat.

They had been living very comfortably these days, eating well during the day and sleeping soundly at night.

If it weren't for Li Ye, they couldn't imagine how they would survive.

Especially Bai Jie, she had endured the hardship of drinking her own urine.

Now that she was living a happy life, she cherished it greatly.

Although Li Ye was lustful and sometimes domineering, he was indeed good to Bai Jie.

Seeing the girls wanting to fight alongside him, Li Ye didn’t act coy.

Instead, he felt a little touched.

“Qiu Yao, take this Profound Rank Spiritual Artifact pickaxe; all your weapons can damage that demon heart, but be careful, you can’t let him hurt you!”

Lin Qiuyao and Bai Jie nodded; the demon heart had already charged to within thirty meters of Li Ye.

Li Ye immediately used the Wood Thorn Technique!

Four or five Wood Thorn thorns pierced towards the demon heart’s body; this was the most Wood Thorn Li Ye had ever used.

This was already the limit for the入門 (Entry Level).

If he wanted to increase the number and hardness of the Wood Thorn, he would need to achieve Minor Achievement in the Wood Thorn Technique and improve his proficiency.

However, this seemed to be completely useless.

The Wood Thorn were directly flattened by the demon heart.

The demon heart’s eyes were filled with madness; at this moment, it had only one thought: to devour all those hateful humans.

“I’ll go first!”

Li Ye’s Xuan Tian Sword directly stabbed towards the demon heart.

Whoosh…

Instantly, the Xuan Tian Sword pierced a huge gash into the demon heart.

One could only say it truly lived up to being a Profound Rank High Grade Spiritual Artifact.

But inevitably, the demon heart quickly threw a punch at Li Ye.

Li Ye was directly sent flying!

His HP dropped by 600!

One punch almost killed Li Ye; this was a Foundation Establishment Stage demon heart!

Yan Xiaoji was furious, spewing flames from her mouth, and raging fire burned on the demon heart’s body.

Lin Qiuyao, Bai Jie, and Ermi also stepped forward to attack.

Li Ye quickly swallowed several Blood Stasis Removing Pills, and his HP slowly recovered.

Just as the demon heart was about to retaliate, in the sky, the Barren Ancient Star’s sun rose, and sunlight enveloped the land.

The killing intent in the demon heart’s eyes instantly diminished by more than half.

Its body froze for a moment.

It was only a few minutes from six o’clock.

At this moment, Li Ye quickly stepped forward, leaped into the air, raised the Xuan Tian Sword, and plunged it directly into the demon heart’s head!

The demon heart’s body crashed to the ground!

“Obtained Tier 2 Low Grade demon meat × 50”

“Obtained demon heart Bloodline × 1

demon heart Bloodline: The user can obtain the demon heart’s Bloodline, gaining powerful strength, but it will dilute their own Bloodline. Use with caution!”

“Obtained demon heart × 1”

“Obtained demon heart bones × 50”

…

A series of notification sounds rang out,

proving that Li Ye and his companions had killed the demon heart!

He panted, looking at the girls.

Their eyes were all filled with the pleasure of surviving a disaster.

And also, with admiration for Li Ye.

Li Ye’s single strike to kill the demon heart just now was too cool.

Although it was very likely due to the extraordinary Xuan Tian Sword, they couldn't help but drool and desire the first milk tea of autumn ♡

Bai Jie and Lin Qiuyao exchanged sweet glances, their eyes filled with endless shyness and anticipation for the future.

“Everyone did great. Later, we’ll have a good meal, get some sleep, and rest.”

Li Ye looked at everyone and said.

He had already considered all the girls his women.

Bai Jie and Lin Qiuyao, needless to say, were already women with a substantial relationship.

Ermi had high talent and a good Bloodline; she could grow to the Nascent Soul Realm, and perhaps transform into human form in the future.

According to Ermi’s intimate behavior of licking Li Ye’s face with her tongue, it’s possible that after Ermi transforms, she will also cling to Li Ye for Dual Cultivation.

As for Yan Xiaoji~

Forget it, Yan Xiaoji just forget it.

Li Ye looked at Yan Xiaoji’s slightly distorted features and her explosive demeanor, but her figure was quite good; perhaps it would be the same with the lights off.

Bai Jie, Lin Qiuyao, Ermi: “You’re really hungry…”

…

After a few minutes of rest, several messages arrived.

“The first week’s Blood Moon Peak Competition has ended. The rankings are now announced.”

“Global announcement congratulating the top three in the rankings.”

“Congratulations to Eternal Night for 4658 points, ranking first on the Peak Leaderboard.

Obtained a cultivation increase of two Minor Achievements in Realm.

Obtained Profound Rank High Grade Divine Ability, Yin Wind Swordplay.

Obtained Foundation Establishment Pill Pill Formula × 1”

“Congratulations to Solomon for 3749 points, ranking second on the Peak Leaderboard.

Obtained a cultivation increase of two Minor Achievements in Realm.

Obtained Profound Rank Medium Grade Divine Ability, Golden Geng Sword Art.”

“Congratulations to Buddha Dragon Child for 3612 points, ranking third on the Peak Leaderboard.

Obtained a cultivation increase of two Minor Achievements in Realm.

Obtained Profound Rank Medium Grade Divine Ability, Earth Dragon Art.”

“When did this Buddha Dragon Child appear?”

Li Ye was very puzzled.

As the notification sounds ended, Li Ye’s cultivation directly reached Qi Refining Layer Nine, which meant that in the second week of this Wasteland, there was a high possibility of Foundation Establishment Cultivators appearing.

But of course, this would definitely be a very small portion.

Most Cultivators would probably find even survival very difficult.

Li Ye’s rewards were abundant, but unfortunately, the rewarded Divine Ability was directly comprehended and not presented in the form of a blank book. If it were in that form, he could have let Bai Jie and the others learn it and then sell it.

Just like the Wood Thorn from before, Li Ye learned it directly.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Li Ye’s exclusive System began to give out rewards.

Because Lin Qiuyao’s loyalty increased, there were many rewards, and he could draw three.

“Survival Day 8.”

“Reward 1: Lin Qiuyao’s bedsheets that haven’t been washed in three years.”

“Reward 2: Wasteland Common Language (Rare)”

“Reward 3: Valley Avoidance Pill Pill Formula.”

“Reward 4: One square meter of Spiritual Field.”

“Reward 5: Wood Thorn Technique proficiency from Entry Level to Minor Achievement.”

Li Ye looked at them, automatically ignoring Reward 1.

The items in Reward 1 were always just to take up space; if this appeared in a novel, Li Ye would definitely curse the dog author who suppressed the protagonist to death.

He was defeated.

Li Ye didn’t know what this common language in Reward 2 was; could it be that he could communicate with these original resident?

If so, perhaps he could choose it.

The Pill Formula also needed to be chosen; to advance to a First Grade Spirit Dan Master, he needed to learn five First Grade Medicinal Pill Pill Formulas.

Currently, Li Ye only knew Wash Marrow Pill, Blood Stasis Removing Pill, Bone Growth Pill, and Mind Gathering Pill.

So, if he chose the Pill Formula for the First Grade Medicinal Pill, Valley Avoidance Pill, he would be able to Breakthrough to a First Grade Spirit Dan Master.

And a Second Grade Spirit Dan Master was key to refining Foundation Establishment Pill.

He needed to first reach First Grade Spirit Dan Master before he could Breakthrough to Second Grade Spirit Dan Master.

Li Ye chose the Spiritual Field among the last four or five rewards.

No other reason, he now had better alternative Divine Ability.

The general attribute Yin Wind Swordplay and Fire Dragon Art were both very high attack methods.

The main reason was also that the Spiritual Field he himself created had problems; the wheat and tomatoes he planted had no effect at all, of course, it might also be because there wasn't enough time.

But thinking about it, it was too idealistic to be able to create a Spiritual Field by just sprinkling some Spirit Stone.

“I choose Rewards 2, 3, and 4.”
