139: Taixu Thunderwood

The sky was clear, but a sandstorm swept across the land.

Pang Baiyu, from the military and responsible for surveying White Wolf City, swallowed hard, witnessing an unforgettable scene.

Sword energy flattened an area of a hundred li!

The Transcendent Realm Six-Star Demon King, the Corpse Vulture, didn't even have time to scream before it instantly evaporated and vanished.

The other two Demon Kings at the center of the Forbidden Curse were torn to shreds, letting out terrified roars and howls.

The power of the Forbidden Curse was far more than that!

Law Realm, Divine Power Realm, Xuan Gang Realm... all the fierce beasts in White Wolf City instinctively prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling, facing the Forbidden Curse.

The next second, their bodies were torn to pieces, leaving only a gleaming demon crystal.

"Is this a Forbidden Curse?"

His companion, Zhong Zhixing, looked at the demon crystals scattered everywhere.

They were unaffected; after all, the Forbidden Curse was cast by Lu Yuan, so he could naturally choose his targets.

One strike!

Three Transcendent Realm Demon Kings, plus a massive number of fierce beasts.

Lu Yuan only needed one strike to flatten White Wolf City!

Looking at Lu Yuan, who was suspended in the air holding a golden sword, the four scouts immediately realized that Lu Yuan didn't use swords.

Among the Five Great Top Academies, Modu University placed the most importance on close combat.

Pengcheng University, however, was less particular; its motto was to use all means to eliminate the opponent.

Not only did Lu Yuan not use swords, but even his grip on the sword was incorrect.

But what did it matter? Fierce beasts had no right to engage in close combat with Lu Yuan!

"Go."

Pang Baiyu decisively flew to Lu Yuan's side.

On the ravaged ground, ghost puppet soldiers were collecting demon crystals.

Before long, Nine Vipers presented a storage ring with both hands, which Lu Yuan habitually accepted.

Everything was so smooth; Pang Baiyu knew that Lu Yuan certainly wasn't doing this for the first time.

"You're out of spirit energy, right? Do you need us to escort you to the nearest supply point?"

Pang Baiyu asked.

Only those in the Transcendent Realm could use spirit energy to cast a Forbidden Curse, and after casting, their spirit energy would be instantly drained.

This was basic common sense!

Pang Baiyu didn't know where Lu Yuan got the Forbidden Curse, nor did he know where he got so much spirit energy.

However, Lu Yuan was likely in a weakened state after casting the Forbidden Curse, which was why he offered to escort him to the nearest supply point.

Out of spirit energy?

Lu Yuan casually cast an Earth Tier High-Grade Spirit Skill.

Pang Baiyu: "..."

"Amazing, we're heading back first," Pang Baiyu said, giving a thumbs up.

The fierce beasts in White Wolf City had been completely annihilated by Lu Yuan; they needed to report this situation to their superiors.

As for whether the superiors would rebuild White Wolf City and reclaim nearby cities centered on White Wolf City, that was for them to consider.

As Pang Baiyu and the other scouts left, a notification sounded in Lu Yuan's ear.

Three Transcendent Realm Demon Kings, plus Law Realm and Divine Power Realm fierce beasts, were just enough to exchange for two more Forbidden Curses!

Not in a hurry to exchange, Lu Yuan chose to go to a supply point to rest.

Having a good meal, then a shower and a wonderful night's sleep—nothing was more enjoyable than that.

The nearest supply point was 20 kilometers away; Lu Yuan, riding Feng Shi, flew according to the map marker.

Supply Point 25, a small Defensive Array was activated.

Dozens of Black War Chariots started their engines, and a guard team composed of a Law Realm squad patrolled the surroundings.

The deeper into the No Mans Land, the stronger the guard teams at the supply points, including the strength of the Defensive Arrays.

Entering the supply point with his identification, Lu Yuan found it was no different from before.

However, there were noticeably more guests, and the food on the tables was richer.

"Awesome, another plate of cold beef salad!"

A middle-aged man at Divine Ability Realm Peak raised his hand to signal.

cold beef salad, a dish that cost twenty or thirty yuan in safe cities, cost tens of thousands at the supply point.

But the middle-aged man was very satisfied.

When the supply point was a Prosperous business, a plate of cold beef salad cost as much as 100,000 yuan.

After the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce took over, it only cost tens of thousands.

The price difference was clear at a glance, for Practitioners who lived by hunting fierce beasts on the edge of a knife.

They were very rich, as this line of work was too dangerous.

They might be alive today, but tomorrow they could die at the hands of fierce beasts.

Being able to eat a good meal at an affordable price was their dream.

"Hello, sir, what can I get for you?"

The front desk staff asked with a smile.

Lu Yuan didn't speak, scanning the new services offered by the supply point.

Recycling demon crystals and demon cores, with a 1% service fee, and also recycling specific fierce beast corpses.

This was the purpose of the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce; they disdained making money from high room rates and food, instead adopting another more lucrative recycling business.

Taking out his black gold membership card, Lu Yuan handed it over.

After verifying the authenticity of the black gold membership card, the staff looked at Lu Yuan with awe.

"A top room, braised pork, steamed pork with rice flour, stir-fried pork, shredded potatoes with green peppers, stir-fried bok choy..."

Lu Yuan glanced at the menu.

"And four bowls of rice, delivered to my room in half an hour."

"Alright, honored Black Gold Member 001." The staff quickly memorized Lu Yuan's order and had another colleague lead Lu Yuan to the Heaven-rank room.

The moment he walked up the stairs, guests on the first floor all looked at Lu Yuan.

Some recognized Lu Yuan, others marveled at who this person was, with such a lavish order of seven or eight dishes for one meal.

Even though the prices at the supply point had dropped significantly after the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce took over, ordering two or three dishes was still considered luxurious.

After eating his fill and drinking, Lu Yuan lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

By the time he woke up, it was already late at night; the first-floor hall was still packed with guests, some even sleeping on the floor.

Compared to the constant tension and danger outside, a good night's sleep at the supply point was incredibly refreshing.

"Damn, you scared the hell out of me!"

As Lu Yuan unhurriedly ate his lobster noodles, a burly man cursed.

Excessive fright had left his face pale, his pants heavily soaked, and a smell of urine permeated the air.

"Bro, what did you encounter that scared you so much you wet your pants?"

"Hahaha, he's over two meters tall and a Divine Power Realm Six-Star Practitioner, how can he be so timid!"

The guests burst into laughter.

However, the next sentence from the burly man froze their smiles.

"I encountered a Demon King; it was less than a meter away from me at the time!"

"Holy crap!"

"Huh?"

Exclamations of surprise rang out one after another, and everyone looked at the burly man, praising him repeatedly.

"Amazing, to escape from the hands of a Demon King!"

"Don't talk about you, anyone would wet their pants!"

"Bro, how did you survive?"

At this, the burly man scratched his head.

"That Demon King didn't intend to kill me; it ran wildly towards the northwest, muttering, 'Mine, the grand void thunder wood is mine!'"

grand void thunder wood?

Lu Yuan put down his chopsticks, listening to the burly man's words.

"Coincidentally, I met demons this afternoon; they weren't Wind Attribute Practitioners but could fly, and they were also rushing towards the southwest."

"I was terrified then; those were demons, and they rarely appear in the No Mans Land!"

Lu Yuan silently collected the information provided by these Practitioners.

The grand void thunder wood, a top-grade heaven and earth spirit treasure, had two effects when consumed.

First, 100% awakening of the Thunder Attribute.

Second, a chance to be immune to Thunder Attribute Spirit Skills!

The key was the second effect.

Immunity to Thunder Attribute Spirit Skills was too tempting, meaning he could walk sideways when encountering Thunder Attribute Practitioners in the future!

Unlike high-grade heaven and earth spirit treasures, top-grade heaven and earth spirit treasures developed consciousness and had the ability to think independently.

In other words, they were no different from fierce beasts that had gained sentience.

Southwest direction?

Lu Yuan walked out of the supply point.

At this moment, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the southwest, where strong individuals from the Human, Demon, and Monster races gathered.

They all desired to obtain this top-grade heaven and earth spirit treasure!
