System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Chen Xuan frowned, slaying the approaching demons with overwhelming force while rushing towards his senior brother.

"This shouldn't be the case. If all the humans and demons here are of this strength, then the hundred-person trial team probably wouldn't be able to find a hundred divine ore source stones."

While frantically using the Lightning Speed ​​Step, Chen Xuan simply put away the Jade Dragon Slash since it could no longer cause any real damage to the demon, and gripped the Divine Ore Knife tightly in one hand.

Fortunately, after slaying dozens of demons, the two finally met at the entrance of the corridor.

Looking down at the dark mass of demonic beings charging frantically, Wang Kaixuan said with lingering fear, "What's going on? If it's so difficult for us to deal with these demonic beings, what about the others? They're all doomed!"

After a moment of silence, Chen Xuan said, "According to those two high-ranking members of the God-Slaying Guard, the threat posed by the human demons to us is relatively small. They probably mean that the speed of the human demons is far slower than our speed when we are flying away. But the current situation is too exaggerated."

"Junior brother, what should we do then?" Wang Kaixuan looked at Chen Xuan with a hint of retreat and said, "No, let's look for other mines. There must be something wrong with this one."

Just now, Chen Xuan and his fellow disciple were chased and made to look bad by a group of demons. Chen Xuan had never encountered anything like this before. He shook his head and said, "No, this just shows that this place is different from others."

"The original intention of the God-Slaying Guard assessment was to select geniuses from various clans and sects in Qingtian County to join, not to harm us," Chen Xuan analyzed. "I think the human demons that other cultivators encountered were definitely not as strong as those we encountered here. In short, whether it is the quality or the quantity of the underground divine ore source stones, the mine we are in should be the best."

Just kidding. Chen Xuan's burst of power was enough to kill an ordinary Nascent Soul Daoist. Even the two haughty, disdainful, and bald armored men at the God-Slaying Guard's branch station were not a threat to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan's greatest strength lies in analyzing the current situation based on world events.

"Junior brother, you mean...?" Wang Kaixuan had raided many cultivators' graves. Based on his past experience and the rules for entering the sect, he would usually give up on any immortal abode he wasn't confident in.

But he never expected Chen Xuan to say that.

"Don't worry, senior brother. Without the Divine Ore Blade, the Supreme Technique will have limited effect on these demons." Chen Xuan hurriedly transmitted his voice as he watched the swarming demons approach. "You take charge of supporting the four directions while I go down to kill them. If I'm in danger of being surrounded by hundreds of demons, you draw them away to relieve the pressure on me."

"Isn't this too risky?" Wang Kaixuan asked hesitantly.

"The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish." Chen Xuan's gaze was as firm as a sword, and the divine ore knife he gripped tightly in his right hand was radiating a violent demonic aura.

"it is good!"

After the two agreed on their plan, Chen Xuan no longer hesitated. His lightning wings suddenly vibrated, and he used all his strength to activate his lightning-fast steps, reaching a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

"cut!"

blah-

Chen Xuan completely lost his mind, simultaneously unleashing two divine techniques, the Law of Heaven and Earth and the Lightning Speed ​​Step, in this fierce battle. If this were a cultivator with a shallow understanding of the Purple Mansion Lake, they would only be able to sustain this for a maximum of twenty breaths.

To expand his Purple Mansion Lake a second time, Chen Xuan consumed a full eleven thousand catties of primordial liquid to lay the foundation for a perfect Celestial Immortal. Only someone with a top-tier Purple Mansion capacity like Chen Xuan would dare to unleash such divine powers so recklessly.

Supernatural powers consume divine power, and secret techniques consume spiritual energy.

Moreover, this was not a simple matter of using his abilities. Chen Xuan also had to deal with attacks from all sides, fully unleashing his supernatural powers and secret techniques to fight, which consumed several times more energy than he would normally use.

"Roar--"

brush brush --

And so, Chen Xuan frantically used his supernatural powers and secret techniques, traversing back and forth in this space. Whenever a dangerous situation arose and he was surrounded, Wang Kaixuan would ride two black dragons to guide the demons, always managing to leave an opening for Chen Xuan.

Being in an underground mine pit, without the sun and moon as reference points, it was impossible to judge the time. Moreover, the slightest mistake in this battle could lead to total defeat, so Chen Xuan and Wang Kaixuan dared not be distracted by anything else.

They had only one goal in mind: to completely wipe out these monsters.

It is unknown how much time has passed. At first, Chen Xuan was often surrounded by hundreds of demons, and he was in great danger. Wang Kaixuan seized the opportunity to step in and guide him.

Gradually, as the number of demons decreased significantly, Chen Xuan's pressure also decreased, and eventually, the demons around him could no longer pose a threat to him.

Only when the last demon's neck was sliced ​​by the divine ore blade and the roars around them ceased did the two realize with astonishment that all the remaining demonized natives of this place had been killed.

"Junior brother, you...you are simply a monster! In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you have wiped out three or four hundred demons whose defenses are comparable to those of great demons?"

Wang Kaixuan was panting heavily. Although he was only responsible for supporting the overall battle, he had still managed to kill some scattered demons. Even so, the spiritual energy in his Purple Mansion Lake was almost completely depleted.

Moreover, what about Chen Xuan, who bears the main pressure?

Looking at Chen Xuan again, his figure was still six zhang tall, and the light of the magical wings on his back was not diminished, indicating that he still had energy to spare.

so horrible.

How much spiritual energy must that contain?

Hearing his senior brother's shocked praise, Chen Xuan shook his head with a wry smile. Such a frenzied battle had indeed taken a toll on him.

However, it wouldn't be enough to completely deplete the divine power and spiritual energy of the Purple Mansion Lake.

After the human and demon armies in this area were completely wiped out, the two reunited and landed on the ground, where the ruins of the ancient ancestors were located.

"Let's recover our strength first, then we can plunder." Wang Kaixuan said, sitting cross-legged and taking out an exquisite box. He then swallowed a pill that emitted a refreshing fragrance.

Chen Xuan didn't actually need to deliberately recover, because the battle just now only consumed 30-40% of the spiritual energy in his Purple Mansion.

As for divine power, it cannot be restored with elixirs; its recovery speed depends on the quality and potential of the divine or demonic body.

However, Chen Xuan did not want to discourage Wang Kaixuan too much, so he followed suit, sat cross-legged, and casually took out a pill and swallowed it.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the two opened their eyes and got up.

"Hehe, junior brother, this is the site of ancient people from hundreds of thousands of years ago! According to the records of that powerful immortal, the first group of people who came to this small world to mine were at least Nascent Soul Daoists, and those who were qualified to open cave dwellings again were all the original loose immortals."

Chen Xuan nodded in agreement: "If it weren't for the demonic energy here obscuring our divine senses, we wouldn't even need to enter. We could simply scan the area with our divine senses and know if there are any treasures here."

"Hehehe, it's more exciting to plunder mansion after mansion." Wang Kaixuan took out the golden compass again. Because the distance was close enough, this time the shortest needle on the compass began to rotate continuously, sometimes pointing to the west and sometimes to the east. Obviously, there was more than one place where treasures were hidden.

"Junior brother, now it's up to your senior brother to show his skills."

Chen Xuan smiled slightly and nodded in acknowledgment. Immediately, divine power surged around the two of them, and their relaxed nerves involuntarily tightened again.

Neither of them dared to be careless in their search for the ruins of ancient ancestors.
