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

Ye Wuxi continued deeper into the area, encountering many more Yin Wind Wolves along the way, though most were only at the first level, third or fourth stage.

She effortlessly annihilated even the highest-level, sixth-tier opponent.

After walking about twenty more miles, two even larger wolves, their bodies shrouded in black mist, suddenly appeared and surrounded Ye Wuxi from both sides.

"Netherworld Wolf, Level 1, Ninth Level," Ye Wuxi frowned slightly.

The Netherworld Wolf is slightly more powerful and has thicker hide than the Shadow Wind Wolf, making it more difficult to deal with.

Ye Wuxi flashed to the side, using the Shadow Step technique.

The two ghost wolves growled and lunged at her simultaneously, their sharp claws reflecting a chilling light.

Ye Wuxi's eyes were icy cold. She brandished her Cold Moon Sword, unleashing a sharp aura—"Sunset Slash!"

A magnificent sword light collided with a chilling claw, and Ye Wuxi took a few steps back.

The moment its claws touched the ground, the Netherwolf sprang up again, faster than lightning, giving Ye Wuxi no time to catch his breath.

Ye Wuxi brandished his longsword, unleashing the second move, Flowing Light and Sword Shadows. A dense array of sword shadows, impenetrable as rain or wind, resembled layers of spiderwebs, sweeping overwhelmingly towards the two giant wolves.

However, the Nether Wolves possessed immense attack power and incredible speed. One of them swiftly dodged the attack and pounced straight at Ye Wuxi, seemingly intent on tearing her apart.

"Now is the time!" Ye Wuxi said calmly, a deathly intent gradually emerging in his eyes.

"A Sword of Death!" A terrifying sword aura erupted as the Frost Moon Sword, imbued with a chilling aura of death, pierced the throat of the Netherworld Wolf.

The Nether Wolf fell straight down, and another Nether Wolf, which had also been injured by the Flowing Light Sword Shadow, turned around and ran away upon seeing this scene!

Ye Wuxi was taken aback. A demonic beast of this level wasn't very intelligent, yet it had run away. But it was still a ninth-level demonic beast, worth quite a bit of money.

Quickly escaping from the demon core on the ground, Ye Wuxi stomped her foot and chased after the fleeing creature.

The ghost wolf fled all the way and soon reached a small valley, where it disappeared into a cave.

Ye Wuxi stopped in front of the cave and hesitated for a moment.

This cave should be the den of two ghost wolves; there shouldn't be any other dangers besides the ghost wolves.

Ye Wuxi gritted her teeth and rushed inside.

Fortunately, upon entering the cave, Ye Wuxi found only a wounded Netherworld Wolf lying on the ground, nothing else.

"Ok?"

Just then, Ye Wuxi noticed a plant growing in a crevice not far from the Netherworld Wolf, with a pale purple fruit nestled among five green leaves.

"This is……?"

A look of joy flashed in Ye Wuxi's eyes.

For a martial artist at the ninth level of the Spirit Martial Realm, a Mystic Fruit is a true treasure. A single Mystic Fruit can allow a martial artist at the ninth level of the Spirit Martial Realm to directly step into the Mystic Martial Realm.

However, judging from the color of this fruit, it is only about 80% ripe, not fully ripe yet.

However, this should be enough for her, a fourth-level Spirit Martial Realm cultivator. It's far superior to the Spirit Gathering Pill. As for the fact that she, at only the fourth level of Spirit Martial Realm, shouldn't be able to consume it, she overlooked that.

"Just kidding, five dantians, what can't she take? She's just afraid the medicine isn't potent enough!"

No wonder the Netherwolf chose this cave as its lair; it's probably because of this mysterious fruit.

The wounded Netherworld Wolf, seeing Ye Wuxi appear in the cave, roared and lunged at the Xuan Fruit.

"not good……"

Ye Wuxi was shocked. If the Netherworld Wolf were to devour the Mystic Fruit, she would be in deep trouble.

With a sudden stomp of his foot, Ye Wuxi flashed past in an instant, appearing before the Netherworld Wolf.

"The Sword of Death"

By circulating the Five Elements True Qi to its limit, the sword's power erupted without reservation.

A chilling sword light pierced the throat of the Netherwolf.

Blood splattered, and the Netherworld Wolf collapsed. Ye Wuxi breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the still intact Xuan Fruit.

After putting away the demon core, she walked to the side and picked the mystic fruit without hesitation.

Ye Wuxi sat cross-legged, focusing his consciousness into his dantian.

She threatened the dark seed, "You're not allowed to steal the medicinal power this time, or I'll make you pay!"

"Do you think it's easy for me to level up?"

"Please, stop causing trouble."

She muttered to herself for a while, assuming the seed had understood, and without further hesitation, swallowed the mysterious fruit in one gulp.

The moment the Xuan Fruit entered his mouth, it transformed into a powerful medicinal force that raged through Ye Wuxi's body.

Ye Wuxi quickly held her breath and focused her mind, guiding the medicinal power to flow through her meridians and transform into true qi.

Just as it was about to converge in the dantian, a sudden change occurred.

An unknown force once again absorbed the immense medicinal power into the seed, and it instantly became still.

"Damn it... you son of a bitch!" Ye Wuxi didn't like swearing, but after coming to this world, she really wanted to swear.

What kind of mess is this?! Having such a terrible thing inside her is enough to make her want to cry. Aside from giving her a cultivation technique with unknown follow-up possibilities, it hasn't provided her with any other benefits whatsoever.

Well, after all that, my cultivation level hasn't increased at all!

Ye Wuxi rested her chin on her hand and sighed heavily. "Relying on heaven, earth, or yourself is the only way. In my opinion, forget about any spiritual medicines or elixirs!"

After calming down, Ye Wuxi sat cross-legged again and pondered for a moment.

With her eyes closed and her energy flowing, she could easily sense the five elements in the world, confirming that she indeed possessed a five-element constitution. However, she felt that the Chaos Five Elements Technique wasn't limited to absorbing only the five elemental energies.

The power of the Five Elements is the foundation for all things, the basic force that constitutes the world. It should be omnipresent. All things possess a spirit, and the Five Elements are mutually generative. According to her, absorbing any kind of spiritual energy, such as the flowers and grass around her, could be transformed into the power of the Five Elements.

She came out this time to verify something.

Ye Wuxi closed his eyes slightly, circulated the Chaos Five Elements Technique, and entered a state of complete absorption in the universe.

Anyone present would be astonished, for from afar, Ye Wuxi appeared to have merged into the very fabric of heaven and earth.

Around her, invisible whirlwinds slowly appeared, spreading out in all directions.

Unlike in the past when spiritual energy gathered at the top of the head and then descended...

Ye Wuxi gradually sensed a real and heavy aura emanating from underground, flowing into his body and finally converging into his earth-attribute dantian.

At the same time, the life force and death energy dissipating from the dead Netherwolf nearby were also drawn into the mysterious seed, and then nourished the five dantian.

……

Ye Wuxi's body seemed to become a point, and all the energy within a radius of several miles, including flowers, trees, life force, and death energy... all kinds of energy, silently surged towards her.

In a frenzy, as Ye Wuxi absorbed the energy, this area slowly fell into an energy vacuum, and then began to tear at the power from even further away to fill it in.

All of this happened silently. Deep within the Xuan Yin Mountains, an old man lying on a large tree, dressed in tattered clothes and holding a wine jug, suddenly opened his eyes.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he looked towards the outer edge of the mountain range with an inscrutable expression.

The location they were looking at was precisely where Ye Wuxi was.

"In this kind of place... a remarkable person has appeared..."

They disappeared in the blink of an eye
