671: Chapter 669 All Members are Traitors

Chu Xuan's strike held nothing back; the Fire of Nirvana instantly coated the long saber, giving it a cold, hard luster, faintly golden within its darkness.

With a full-power strike, speed and strength reached their peak, and a single saber thrust pierced through the throat.

Despite the surging power within Qi Mingzhen's body, it failed to erupt and, amidst countless piercing spikes, he completely lost his last shred of vitality.

His remnant body then transformed into fuel for the Fire of Nirvana, ultimately vanishing into thin air.

[You have killed Qi Mingzhen...]

[Your spirituality value +28500, your rule fragment +6]

"One truly cannot underestimate anyone..."

Chu Xuan mused in his heart.

In truth, Chu Xuan hadn't genuinely detected anything amiss with Qi Mingzhen; although there were loopholes in his words, his explanations were also very reasonable.

However, Chu Xuan was subjectively suspicious and scrutinizing, so no matter what Qi Mingzhen said, Chu Xuan would mentally put a question mark on it.

Precisely because of this, Chu Xuan never even considered actively absorbing those Luck powers himself.

"It seems that in the future, no matter what I obtain, especially items or props to be consumed or absorbed, I must first have them certified by the System. I cannot be afraid of wasting spirituality value."

Chu Xuan secretly made a decision in his heart.

[You have triggered the Talent "Strong Plunder". Do you choose to obtain the Divine Ability "Omniscient Observation"?]

--Yes.

[You have obtained the Divine Ability "Omniscient Observation (Not Initiated)"]

Chu Xuan's eyes flickered as he checked the detailed explanation of this Divine Ability, finding it largely similar to what Qi Mingzhen had just described, but with some subtle differences.

Activating this Divine Ability allows a wisp of one's consciousness to alight on a target, forming an overhead scene similar to a God's-eye view, observing the target's every word and action, as well as the surrounding environment.

However, the range is extremely small, only one meter around the target.

This might require further advancement in the Divine Ability's Cultivation progress to gradually increase the range.

In addition, there are corresponding requirements for the target's Rank and Mental Energy.

If either the target's Rank or Mental Energy exceeds the caster's by 80%, the Divine Ability will be ineffective; if it exceeds by 60%, the caster of the Divine Ability risks being discovered.

"This is indeed a decent Divine Ability..."

Chu Xuan nodded slightly.

Although Qi Mingzhen previously stated that this perception would be forcibly interrupted once the target entered a Secret Realm, it would still be effective if they regrouped in the same space.

As for its effectiveness, Chu Xuan planned to improve it next.

With a thought, Chu Xuan took out the remaining 20 soul crystals.

--Raise [Omniscient Observation] to Initiation for me.

[Cultivation has been accelerated for you, increasing "Omniscient Observation" progress...]

[You have consumed 650 spirituality value and 7 soul crystals]

[Omniscient Observation: Initiated]

[Your redeemable real attribute quota +1]

After this Divine Ability reached Initiation, the observable distance around the target reached 10-30 meters, with the specific range related to the caster's consumption.

Next, Chu Xuan followed suit, also raising the progress of [Blazing Sun Fire], which he had recently plundered from Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun, to the Initiation level. This consumed another 700 spirituality value and 5 soul crystals.

As a result, the redeemable real attribute quota reached 2 points.

Chu Xuan directly spent 2000 spirituality value to redeem them, and combined with the previous 9 remaining real attributes, he now had 11 real attributes to freely allocate.

Additionally, the rule fragments also reached 18.

The resources were already fully sufficient, so there was no need to hold back. Chu Xuan first consumed 1 rule fragment to raise his real strength attribute to 130 points.

For the last remaining 1 real attribute, Chu Xuan again consumed 1 rule fragment and added it to agility.

The upcoming third exclusive mission not only required him to lead a war but also to kill a Shengyuan Realm Martial Artist in this battle.

Thus, agility and strength were undoubtedly crucial.

After completing this, he could then consider prioritizing some Mental attributes as appropriate.

With these thoughts, Chu Xuan's main body returned, replacing his Clone, and led everyone to continue advancing towards Dongzhou Prefecture City.

All along the way, Chu Xuan sat astride his horse.

In a meditative state, Chu Xuan's injuries from the golden lightning strike he suffered when killing Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun were recovering at an even faster rate.

As night receded and the sky gradually lightened, his health points finally returned to Perfection.

Chu Xuan checked his current attribute situation.

[Name: Chu Xuan]

[Rank: LV.15]

[health points: 18600/18600]

[stamina: 120 (real attribute)]

[Strength: 130 (real attribute)]

[agility: 111 (real attribute)]

[Mental: 100 (real attribute)]

[spirituality value: 73690]

[rule fragments: 16]

[soul crystals: 10]

...

Chu Xuan closed the panel and fell into contemplation.

"With my current attributes, I should be able to steadily overpower ordinary Shengyuan Realm Martial Artists. As for those at the level of the Four Sects' Sect Masters, it's hard to say..."

Previously, when Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun advanced to Rank 17, reaching the Shengyuan Realm, his various attributes were around 75 points, with his strongest Mental attribute reaching 80 points.

Based on the deduction made when killing Zhou Fan, while such Children of Luck would have a burst of power under life-or-death pressure, forcefully consuming potential to Break through a Realm, their Realm was not yet stable, and their various attributes would be slightly weaker than normal Martial Artists of the same Realm.

After their cultivation stabilized, they should be slightly stronger.

And according to the description of the Sanyuan Qi-Guiding Art that Chu Xuan obtained, the Shengyuan Realm can reach Rank 18.

Presumably, the Sect Masters of the Four Great Sects should all be at this Rank.

The reason why there is no mention of a Martial Dao Realm corresponding to the next Rank 19 life level is probably because the Cangyun World is affected by the erosion of The Gloom, creating some kind of restraint that prevents a Breakthrough.

However, these Shengyuan Realm Martial Artists have probably been immersed in this Rank for many years, enslaving worldly treasures for sustenance, and possessing numerous Divine Abilities and secret techniques. Their true combat power cannot be estimated by ordinary reasoning.

Amidst these thoughts, Chu Xuan had already arrived outside Dongzhou City.

"It seems I arrived here earlier than the scene I saw through [Peeping Fate]," Chu Xuan looked up, seeing that the Secret Realm near the Prefecture City was only about a hundred kilometers away.

With the foot speed of these Martial Artists, even with a large troop assembly, it would only take about half an hour at most.

Through the previous summons, the Martial Artists gathered now numbered nearly 30,000.

Chu Xuan quickly scanned some of the individuals; their life levels were generally above Rank 5, and among them, nearly 200 people were Guiyuan Realm Martial Artists above Rank 10.

The Guiyuan Realm is further divided into Heaven, Earth, and Human Realms.

Among these 200 people, the majority were only at the Human Realm level, and many of them were spies planted by the Four Great Sects and the Shendao Sect demons.

As for the remaining minority, about 50 people were in the Earth Realm, and at least half of them were undercover agents.

There were also 18 in the Heaven Realm; not all of them might be undercover, but if only half were killed, there would certainly still be some who slipped through the net.

Of course, including Chu Xuan, the Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, strictly speaking, he was also an undercover agent.
