629: Chapter 627 Concealing One's Strength

"A clear point in time has appeared..."

Chu Xuan murmured softly.

Before this, the System had only indicated that the World Mission would begin within 48 hours, without specifying the exact time.

But now, the specific time had emerged.

Chu Xuan lowered his eyes and continued refining life liquid.

By 5:00 PM, refining life liquid could no longer provide Chu Xuan with alchemy experience; his alchemy Rank remained at the 2nd-Rank Apprentice level.

However, at this point, Chu Xuan's mastery of refining life liquid had reached a level of pure perfection.

He was no longer restricted by the rigid requirements in the alchemy codex, and he no longer needed to constantly pay attention to the changes in Material ratios, temperature, humidity, and blending time.

With casual control, he could flexibly adjust according to the actual situation and successfully refine 1 liter of life liquid.

Furthermore, the refining time had stabilized and shortened to 2 to 3 minutes.

Before this, when Chu Xuan first refined 100 milliliters of life liquid, it still took over ten minutes; now, the quantity had increased tenfold, yet the time required had been significantly shortened.

11:00 PM.

The Materials for refining life liquid were running low.

With Chu Xuan's current alchemy level, his understanding and analysis of Material properties were basically thorough. Most of the Materials, such as gems, Ore, and black oil soil, could all be replaced by items from this world.

However, the juices of those active plants all originated from the Tianxing Mountains, and currently, this world could not find similar active plants to replace them.

"It has already filled more than 800 grids, which is about enough. As for the remaining part, I can collect some from the Cangyun World..."

"Even with just these, if they could all be brewed into high-grade life essence, there would be about 2,400 jin."

Chu Xuan looked closely and immediately discovered that there was much more pale green Qi in the Life Tree House, and more than a dozen grids of Intermediate life essence had become high-grade life essence.

As for that most special grid, according to the System prompt, only 2 to 4 natural days remained before it could be transformed into super life essence.

Putting the remaining Materials and the Elf Blood back into his Exclusive Space, Chu Xuan teleported to the surface.

More than a hundred Transcendent with Specter inside them had arrived here one after another, and they were all waiting for Chu Xuan with pained expressions.

"Chu Xuan, please, save us quickly."

"I can't hold on much longer..."

Seeing that Chu Xuan had finally appeared, everyone gathered around him as if they had seen their savior.

Chu Xuan's eyes flashed slightly.

He naturally knew that the reason the people before him had dragged it out until now was obviously because they still harbored some wishful thinking, still considering themselves members of the Resurrection Society, believing that everything they saw was a "test."

However, since these people had come at this last moment, they could still be considered to have turned back from the wrong path, and Chu Xuan didn't mind helping them again.

It didn't take long for Chu Xuan to extract and harvest all the Specter from their bodies, once again gaining several thousand points of spirituality value.

Everyone was filled with gratitude, bowing and thanking him one after another before leaving.

"There shouldn't be anyone else coming..."

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes and sent a message to Minister Liu Fumin.

Soon, the authorities issued a notice.

From this day forward, all remnants of the Resurrection Society would be defined as an anti-human organization and an enemy of all humanity. They called on all Transcendent to purge them, and would no longer accept any form of surrender or repentance.

And almost at the same time the announcement was released.

In cities everywhere, Night Watchers led armed personnel to carry out a bloody purge of the stubborn members of the Resurrection Society whose locations had long been figured out.

Chu Xuan did not pay much more attention to this.

He had already given them enough opportunities; in over two days, they should have arrived in Haicheng regardless.

Those who still hadn't arrived were either completely controlled by Specter, had met with an accident on the way, or were die-hard loyalists of the Resurrection Society.

For such people, there was no need to show mercy anymore.

Afterward, Chu Xuan began to condense Slash within his body.

As 6,000 points of spirituality value vanished, a hundred Slash instantly merged into one. Chu Xuan then consumed another 5,940 points of spirituality value to add 99 more Slash.

In an instant, Chu Xuan felt a faint sensation of being filled to the brim, as if the Slash inside his body were about to burst out at any moment. His entire aura instantly became incomparably sharp, his edge fully exposed.

Chu Xuan exhaled a gentle breath, nothing out of the ordinary, but the air emitted the sound of a sword ringing, and faint sword marks could be seen cutting through it.

At this moment, Chu Xuan had a strong urge.

He wanted to exhale all the Sword Qi in his belly in one go.

Slay the weird, execute the evil gods!

Taking a deep breath, Chu Xuan calmed his emotions. He knew this was merely an illusion brought about by the rapid increase in his own combat power.

He still needed to conceal his edge within; when he encountered injustice, he would then Slash it!

"I have an injustice right now..."

Chu Xuan's gaze turned slightly cold, and he spoke coldly: "It has been over 24 hours since Berserk was raised to the max level, but the real attribute of agility and strength haven't increased by 1 point each. Were they swallowed again?"

Almost the moment Chu Xuan said this, the Phantom Demon suddenly let out a terrified scream: "It's here! It's here!!"

Chu Xuan's expression shifted, and his consciousness instantly sank into his spirit world.

In the vast white space.

A ball of Fire of Nirvana was eerily expanding and contracting, rapidly condensing into a figure that looked 70% similar to Chu Xuan.

"Quick, quick, quick! Hurry and kill him!" The Phantom Demon shivered, as if it had been subjected to some kind of pressure, crawling on the ground, unable to move.

"Die!!"

A crazy roar rang out, and that black flame figure instantly grasped a long spear and suddenly slammed it towards the Phantom Demon.

Bang!

However, before that pitch-black figure could even get close, it was blocked by Chu Xuan.

A punch!

Just one punch.

The black flame figure was directly blasted apart and dissipated into nothingness.

Over the past few days, although Chu Xuan had not leveled up, all four of his basic attributes had improved significantly, far exceeding the growth speed of that consciousness within his body.

"It didn't die! It definitely isn't dead yet, I can feel it..."

The Phantom Demon suddenly sprang up, floated in front of Chu Xuan with a mournful face, and wailed:

"I beg you, let me leave your body. I'll just find any vessel, even if it's a pile of dung, I'll accept it."

"How could that be?" Chu Xuan said with a gentle expression and a smile on his face:

"You are my best friend, after all. I will definitely find a way to find you a suitable vessel... If I can't even do this small thing, how could I live up to the sincere friendship between us?"

The Phantom Demon immediately revealed an expression of despair.

"Just stay here for the time being. I won't let you suffer any harm, please believe me." Chu Xuan chuckled indifferently, and his consciousness returned to the outside world.

[System Prompt: 30 minutes remaining until the World Mission begins. When the countdown ends, those who have not successfully ascended in Rank will be forcibly erased!]
