Peerless Empress: One Woman, One Sword, Slaying Through Myriad Realms

Having made up his mind, Ye Wuxi sat cross-legged in the cave, took out two hundred spirit stones he had plundered and placed them beside him, and then took out three Azure Nether Grasses and held them in his hand.

She now understood that her constitution was a bottomless pit; while others might break through to a higher level with just a single spiritual herb, it was like a tickle to her.

"Two hundred mid-grade spirit stones should be enough," Ye Wuxi thought, though the spiritual energy in mid-grade spirit stones was purer than that in low-grade spirit stones, but she was still not entirely confident.

After a moment's hesitation, Ye Wuxi closed his eyes and slowly began to circulate the Chaos Five Elements Technique.

The pure spiritual energy from the three spiritual herbs in her hand was instantly drained and quickly entered the sapling within her body. After the sapling absorbed a portion, it then released some of it back into her five dantian.

Time passed slowly, and the true energy vortexes within Ye Wuxi's five dantian continued to grow stronger. All the spiritual energy in the world surged into the cave like a hurricane.

The mid-grade spirit stones around Ye Wuxi also visibly disappeared.

Only when a faint light appeared on the horizon did Ye Wuxi slowly open his eyes, and the five-colored true energy swirling around him became even more condensed.

"Now that I'm at the second level of the Xuanwu realm, I shouldn't be at a disadvantage even if I face those geniuses at the same time. It's time to go out."

The spiritual energy in the Sunset Secret Realm was denser than outside. Because of the trials and the constant hunting of demonic beasts, the air was also filled with a considerable amount of deathly aura, which saved Ye Wuxi a lot of arduous cultivation.

After leaving the cave, Ye Wuxi returned to the wolf pack's territory via the same route. Encountering such a large group of demonic beasts was no easy feat, and she certainly wouldn't let these demonic cores go to waste.

She felt she could still aim for first place in this trial, as the contribution points would allow her to exchange for more elixirs and other items to quickly improve her cultivation.

In the familiar valley, a pack of Black Wind Wolves stared at Ye Wuxi with bloodshot eyes. They clearly recognized this human, but they never expected that this despicable human, who had stolen their belongings, would dare to come and provoke them.

In the valley, wolf howls rose up, startling the small birds into scattering in all directions.

"Awoo~", with a command from the level two, fourth-level demonic wolf, dozens of black wind demonic wolves charged down at Ye Wuxi like madmen, as if they wanted to tear her to pieces.

Ye Wuxi's eyes crinkled into a smile, "You've come at the perfect time!"

Immediately, the Cold Moon Sword appeared in her hand. Ignoring the five people around her, she activated all five of her dantian, unleashing the group attack "Soaring Through the Nine Heavens."

With each strike, a pack of demonic wolves fell. As the charging pack gradually perished, a flicker of fear crossed the eyes of the level two, fourth-level demonic wolves at the rear. After a moment's hesitation, they turned and tried to flee.

Ye Wuxi smiled slightly, "Trying to escape won't be that easy."

With a stomp of his foot, Ye Wuxi instantly appeared above the level two, fourth-level demonic wolf, and a dazzling sword light severed the wolf's head.

Moments later, the valley was a scene of devastation, littered with the corpses of Black Wind Demon Wolves.

Ye Wuxi touched his nose, "Extracting demon cores is quite a skill..."

Shaking his head, Ye Wuxi obediently took out the demon cores one by one, and then activated the Chaos Five Elements Technique, devouring all the remaining life force and death energy of the demon beasts.

Just as Ye Wuxi was about to leave, a handsome young man suddenly appeared in the valley.

Seeing the newcomer, Ye Wuxi was pleasantly surprised, "Brother Duan..."

Duan Hong looked you over carefully before letting out a sigh of relief. "Oh, it's Wuxi. I heard the wolves howling in the distance and thought I'd come check on you. I'm glad you're alright."

Ye Wuxi pointed to a group of shriveled corpses behind him, shrugged, and said, "They're the ones who's in trouble."

Noticing the wolves' unusual behavior, Duan Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, then he said seriously, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone..."

He remembered that Wu Xi had only broken through to the Xuanwu realm ten days ago, and he had already broken through again so quickly. The corpses scattered all over the ground were enough to prove their terrifying combat power, and these demonic beasts clearly seemed to have not absorbed any vital energy.

There were too many illogical things going on; Wuxi must be hiding something from him. However, Wuxi didn't conceal anything from him, which showed his trust in him.

Ye Wuxi smiled faintly, "Yes, I believe you."

She's willing to trust those she considers friends, but if that person betrays her trust, she naturally won't let them off easily.

Ye Wuxi turned her head and asked, "Did you run into Yu'er?"

Duan Hong shook his head, "No."

Ye Wuxi nodded. "I'm a little worried about her. Why don't we go find her? If the three of us join forces, it will be safer to venture deeper into the secret realm."

Duan Hong smiled faintly, "Alright, I was looking for you anyway, but seeing you today, I realize my worries about you were unnecessary..."

Ye Wuxi said with a smile, "Without some skills, how could you venture into the martial world?"

A hint of appreciation flashed in Duan Hong's eyes; he strongly agreed with that statement.

With Duan Hong joining them, the two were like a witch and a demon god, unstoppable. No monster they encountered escaped their grasp.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that the two finally encountered Liu Yu'er.

At this moment, Liu Yu'er looked somewhat disheveled, her breathing was weak, and there was a trace of dried blood at the corner of her mouth.

Liu Yu'er stopped when she saw the two figures, then said anxiously, "Xi'er, Duan Hong, hurry up and go."

Ye Wuxi helped her up and quickly asked, "Yu'er, what happened to you? Who hurt you?"

Liu Yu'er said, "It's Peng Hui and Yuan Xin. They've gathered several people from the Dragon Yuan Empire and are hunting down monsters and stealing the monster cores from other disciples. I managed to escape during that time, and they should be catching up soon..."

Ye Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, "They actually dared to rob you? Yu'er, don't be alarmed, we'll just wait here. I want to see who's robbing whom..."

Liu Yu'er frowned deeply, "Wu Xi, are you crazy? Those are two Xuanwu level five cultivators, and the others are at level four..."

Duan Hong said calmly, "Yu'er, don't worry, Wuxi, how about we pull off something big..."

Seeing his composure even when facing a fifth-level Xuanwu, Ye Wuxi knew that Duan Hong was probably not as simple as she thought, and might even have some secrets like hers.

"Brother Duan understands my thoughts. Since those two are such geniuses, they must have quite a few good things on them," Ye Wuxi said with a smile.

Duan Hong smiled, indicating his agreement. Hunting monsters was nowhere near as fast as robbing them!

After saying that, the two stood calmly in place, waiting for the arrival of the people from the Dragon Yuan Empire.

Liu Yu'er was puzzled and confused, "Are you two alright...?"

Duan Hong said nonchalantly, "Yu'er, just stand at the back later."

Ye Wuxi took out a Rejuvenation Pill and gave it to Liu Yu'er. "Yu'er, you should recover from your injuries first. Brother Duan is right, don't worry about what happens later."

Liu Yu'er nodded somewhat blankly, then added, "You guys better not mess this up..."
