484: A wave of wealth

On the other side, Dongfang Yuqing relied on the power of "Killing, Breaking, Plundering" to charge recklessly, suppressing five flame skeletons alone and continuously eliminating them.

A quarter of an hour later, Dongfang Yuqing was the first to end the battle; all five Nine-Star Martial Venerable flame skeletons were crushed by him.

However, a dozen wounds appeared on his body, and a gash on his shoulder was so deep the bone was visible.

Yet, Dongfang Yuqing did not go to help Lu Xingchen; instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground, consumed an eighth-grade rejuvenation pill, and began to recover from his injuries.

Because he had absolute confidence in Lu Xingchen; Lu Xingchen could definitely handle five Nine-Star Martial Venerable flame skeletons.

Meanwhile, Lu Yu and the other two sat cross-legged on the ground to recover their Battle Qi.

Their Battle Qi had been completely exhausted when dealing with the previous batch of enemies.

Lu Xingchen did not disappoint Dongfang Yuqing; in just a quarter of an hour, he ended the battle without a single wound on his body.

This was all thanks to the power of the "God of Slaughter Domain," which continuously restored his vitality and blood.

After resolving all enemies, Lu Xingchen gained another 450 million experience points, and his Realm rose to Ten-Star Martial Venerable.

He opened his attribute panel.

[host: Lu Xingchen]

[Realm: Ten-Star Martial Venerable]

[Experience Points: 250 million / 1.5 billion]

[Exchange Points: 4.3 billion]

[Talents: Eagle Eye (50), Strong Strike (50), Berserk (50), Blade Edge (50), Jade Shatter (50), Devour (50), Army Breaker (50), Blade Breaker (50)]

[Profession: Eighth-Grade Alchemist (750 million / 1 billion), Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation Master (300 million / 1 billion)]

[Mount: Nether Dragon (Eighth Rank)]

It could simply be called a sudden windfall!

Not only did his Realm rise directly from Five-Star Martial Venerable to Ten-Star Martial Venerable, but he also accumulated 4.3 billion exchange points.

Immediately, he retracted the "God of Slaughter Domain," walked over to Dongfang Yuqing, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Dongfang, you really are excessively powerful! Your speed in killing enemies is even faster than mine!"

Dongfang Yuqing smiled and said, "Likewise, likewise! Xingchen, you truly deserve the title of Human Race War God. After this battle, your Realm has directly risen to Ten-Star Martial Venerable. If you combine that with your three secret techniques, I fear you could rival a Saint!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Just luck. The higher the Realm, the weaker the effect of secret techniques; it might be difficult to contend with a Saint. However, I still have other trump cards!"

Dongfang Yuqing said in a deep voice, "Needless to say, we must have entered the death gate. The greatest threat to us wasn't the third wave of attacks, but the second. Damn it, over a hundred Seven-Star Martial Venerables—that was truly terrifying!"

Lu Xingchen gave a wry smile, "I'm sorry, I chose the bridge, and I brought you into this predicament. I just hope no stronger flame skeletons appear; otherwise, I really won't be able to handle it."

Hearing this, Dongfang Yuqing's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice, "Look above!"

"You can't be serious, right?"

Lu Xingchen let out a wry smile, then looked at the spiritual energy vortex overhead.

He saw three semi-saint Realm flame skeletons flying out of the spiritual energy vortex.

"Is my luck really that bad?"

Dongfang Yuqing said in a deep voice, "The time limit for my 'Killing, Breaking, Plundering' hasn't expired yet. Xingchen, let's fight together!"

Lu Xingchen sighed lightly and said in a deep voice, "Brother Dongfang, help me hold them off and give me a chance to unleash my ultimate move!"

"Alright!"

Dongfang Yuqing nodded heavily.

Immediately, the two of them charged toward the three semi-saint Realm flame skeletons together.

Dongfang Yuqing had less than an hour left on his "Killing, Breaking, Plundering" time limit, and he continued to use a suicidal fighting style, holding off all three semi-saint Realm flame skeletons by himself.

Lu Xingchen, meanwhile, used all three secret techniques simultaneously.

"Nine Revolutions Profound Technique!"

"Word Spirit, Divine Descent Heavenly Spirit!"

"Sacred Dragon Transformation!"

Relying on these three secret techniques, his Realm rose from Ten-Star Martial Venerable to semi-saint.

The so-called semi-saint Realm meant his Battle Qi intensity was already on par with a one-star Saint, only he had not yet comprehended a Law Domain, and his control over Battle Qi was weaker than a one-star Saint.

Immediately, he activated "Chixiao Slash." After a brief charge-up, a fiery red Battle Qi Blade Edge slashed down toward a flame skeleton.

[Congratulations to the host for killing a semi-saint Realm enemy; gained 150 million experience points!]

Repeating the process, Lu Xingchen and Dongfang Yuqing joined forces to slay the three semi-saint Realm flame skeletons.

Lu Xingchen took all the kills, earning another 450 million experience points in a frenzy; becoming a Saint was in the near future.

This time, Dongfang Yuqing was beaten to a pulp again, covered in wounds from head to toe, and even had one arm severed.

Lu Xingchen handed him another phoenix nirvana pill.

This time, Dongfang Yuqing did not take it and said in a deep voice, "Xingchen, how many phoenix nirvana pills do you have in total?"

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "Three. You've already eaten one, and this is the second."

Dongfang Yuqing said in a deep voice, "Such a divine item for saving lives—by giving them to me one after another, aren't you being too wasteful?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "We are friends; there is no need to be so calculating between friends. Your 'Killing, Breaking, Plundering' time limit is almost up; if you don't recover your injuries immediately, you will die. Take it quickly!"

Hearing this, Dongfang Yuqing stopped talking and consumed the second phoenix nirvana pill.

Immediately, the two looked at the spiritual energy vortex overhead; finally, no stronger flame skeletons appeared.

Yun Li, Lu Yu, and Li Qingshan walked over to Lu Xingchen and Dongfang Yuqing.

Lu Yu patted Lu Xingchen's shoulder and gave a wry smile, "War God His Excellency, I really don't know whether to blame you or thank you. You really did bring us into the death gate, but you also went all out just now to save our lives."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Just as Brother Dongfang said, as long as our strength is sufficient, even if it is the death gate, we can pass through safely!"

Yun Li's gaze toward Lu Xingchen was filled with amazement.

"Xingchen, your Realm has broken through? And you rose five minor Realms in a row!"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Yes, I can become stronger in battle, and the more enemies there are, or the stronger they are, the faster I break through. That battle just now could be considered the most arduous battle I have ever encountered in my life!"

Li Qingshan gave Lu Xingchen a thumbs up.

"Truly worthy of being the War God His Excellency; your combat power is simply too Heaven-Defying! If it weren't for your protection, the three of us would have died long ago."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "It's only right. After all, I took Lu Yu's money. Speaking of which, since we've broken through this death gate, how do we get out?"

Dongfang Yuqing looked at the spiritual energy vortex overhead and said in a deep voice, "Since those flame skeletons could enter from this spiritual energy vortex, we can naturally rely on it to get out too!"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and chuckled, "That should be the case! Since that's the matter, let's go!"
