A Night of Desperation-Chapter 562: true or false 4

Soon, the speed of these rotting human figures was tested on the bottom right corner of the camera.

Between forty to fifty times the speed of sound!

"And there’s no sound barrier... the laws of physics have completely failed..." Yu Hong put down the camera, his face grave.

Although he had anticipated encountering such high-speed opponents, it was only when they appeared before his eyes that he felt the enormous pressure closing in on him.

"No wonder my senior brothers and sisters are so fast;those who aren’t fast enough have long died at the hands of these high-speed monsters."

Yu Hong now understood why his senior brothers and sisters all took the path of the Sword Cultivator.

Only that path could deal with these high-speed monsters.

’However, I am also a Nascent Soul Cultivator now, so...’

Yu Hong checked the safety house. Although it was constantly being struck, the house remained unshaken and undamaged.

Feeling reassured, he focused his thoughts and converted his mana into the Mist Heaven Magical Power of the Qingwei Heart Technique.

Then, following the usage method of the Illusion Human Realm, he covered his entire body.

’Broken Heart.’

A complex crimson symbol appeared out of thin air in front of Yu Hong;it resembled the shape of a heart, or an ideogram similar to the word ’heart.’

’I definitely can’t keep up with their speed. My fastest is only a few times the speed of sound, and I haven’t practiced any speed-enhancing cultivation techniques, so... I can only rely on other methods to counter them.’

After spreading the Broken Heart, Yu Hong slowly walked to the window.

Bam! Bam! Bam!!

A series of continuous, huge impact sounds rang out in front of him.

At the same time, the symbol representing the Broken Heart began to glow bright red, taking effect.

This was his first time using Nascent Soul Power to execute the Qingwei Heart Technique.

Soon, the effect emerged.

Outside, five rotting human figures abruptly stopped, no longer striking.

Their whole bodies trembled, standing scattered on the ground, with their decayed faces seemingly showing expressions of pain.

At the same time, Yu Hong’s mana started to deplete significantly.

’Are they resisting?’ He immediately realized that the Mist Heaven Magical Power was taking effect, as the Broken Heart was influencing the basic components of these monsters.

He immediately intensified the mana conversion, turning a large amount of mana rapidly into Mist Heaven Magical Power.

Soon, the Mist Heaven Magical Power was more than half depleted.

The five figures outside finally came to a complete halt.

Boom!!

All the figures exploded simultaneously, turning into large clouds of black mist, disappearing without a trace.

Whoosh!

Yu Hong exhaled a long breath.

He quickly looked toward Wanxue Palace. The Black Tide and Golden Light had returned to their usual balance. It was obvious that it was just a sudden outburst of the Black Tide just now.

"Even I had so much trouble, over at Quan He’s side...."

With that, he opened the door and stepped out. As soon as he shut the door, his figure vanished from the spot.

Just as he arrived in front of Wanxue Palace, Yu Hong felt a heavy sense of oppression permeating the surroundings.

A kind of faint purple particulate matter floated in the air here.

These particles, about the size of a thumbnail, seemed to be alive, constantly wriggling and flashing.

Fortunately, all these particles were blocked by the Broken Heart. Once they got within ten centimeters of his body, they would automatically disintegrate and disappear.

The power of the Qingwei Heart Technique, boosted by Nascent Soul Power, began to show its might.

Yu Hong rushed into Wanxue Palace, heading straight for the area with the most intense energy outbursts.

But before he could reach it, a blinding silver light burst forth from that area. The silver light pierced through every wall and stone pillar, only to be blocked by Broken Heart when it reached Yu Hong, splitting and sliding past him on both sides.

In the next moment, Yu Hong felt a sharp, blade-like invisible force sweep over him, then pass by him, spreading out behind him.

"What is this!!?"

His expression changed, and he sprinted towards that area.

Ten minutes later.

Everything had settled down.

In the Frost Palace, Yu Xuezi held a wine cup, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

"It was truly thrilling this time. I was held up by that unconscious monster, Bai Sheng and Hei Ying were both attacked and almost met their demise. Fortunately, Qian Rong intervened at the crucial moment and even gifted the Meteorite Immortal Brew to Bai Sheng, helping him break through to the Divinity Transformation in one fell swoop. We at Wanxue Palace owe you a great debt!!" He raised a cup to Qian Rong.

"Uncle-Master, there’s no need to mention it. At such critical moments, Senior Brother Bai Sheng’s life was at stake. Under the influence of that illusionary realm, we couldn’t intervene either. The Meteorite Immortal Brew was just to give him a push from behind. The real effect came from Senior Brother’s own substantial foundation." Qian Rong replied modestly.

Yu Hong and Quan He listened below, finally piecing together what had happened. nol.cσm

’Senior Brother Bai Sheng consumed the Meteorite Immortal Brew and directly broke through to the Divinity Transformation Stage. At last, with the help of this Cultivation Holy Medicine, he overcame the bottleneck. The cold consciousness we felt earlier was Senior Brother’s Divine Sense condensed through his sword. And Senior Sister Qian Rong also killed a large number of invading Black Disaster Monsters during the attack.’ Quan He transmitted his thoughts.

’Did you consume the Meteorite Immortal Brew that Senior Sister Qian Rong gave us?’ Yu Hong asked.

’No.’

’Neither did I.’ Yu Hong nodded. There was no need to say more;the two shared a mutual understanding.

Watching Qian Rong speak eloquently at the table, Yu Hong squinted his eyes and lowered his head to pour himself a drink.

Meteorite Immortal Brew....

Soon, the enhancement and repair of the Black Mark will be completed in just a few days. Then we will know whether this thing is genuine, and if Senior Sister Qian Rong is really...

Calculating the time internally, Yu Hong maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, occasionally responding to his master’s concerns about him.

He didn’t hide the effects of the Qingwei Heart Technique, openly shared it, causing a slight surprise among everyone. After all, even Yu Xuezi had not practiced this cultivation technique before. This was the first time anyone had seen its specific effects.

After a gathering, mechanical servants began to tidy up the place, and everyone returned to their residences as agreed to start patrolling for the next period.

After Bai Sheng broke through to the Divinity Transformation Stage, he was full of vigor, with his whole demeanor completely transformed. He proactively took on the main tasks, patrolled the surface of the mining planet every day, full of energy, showing off his eagerness.

Occasionally, he would run over to Yu Hong’s safe house, pretending to patrol, but actually wanting to see Yu Hong’s reaction to his breakthrough.

Having been stuck for so many years and suddenly breaking through, Yu Hong could understand his senior brother’s enthusiasm. He also demonstrated a supportive attitude, expressing shock and amazement at the Divinity Transformation Stage’s divine sense.

For four consecutive days, no matter where he went, he could feel his senior brother’s vast divine sense covering the entire mining planet, comprehensively aware of everything.

On the fifth day, everyone finally couldn’t stand it. Master Yu Xuezi also unleashed her vast divine sense, giving Bai Sheng a heavy blow.

Only then did the situation calm down.

At this moment, Yu Hong’s heavy defense belt finally reached the point of repair completion.

Inside the safe house.

Yu Hong watched the countdown timer hit zero with a final click.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ignoring the defense belt that started emitting blue light, he quickly took out the Meteorite Immortal Brew given by Qian Rong and placed his palm on top of it.

’Enhance the Meteorite Immortal Brew, direction: strengthen the effect of breaking through minor realms.’

Instantly, the black line on the back of his hand flashed and flowed into the jade token.

’Do you want to enhance the Meteorite Immortal Brew?’

The prompt from the Black Mark appeared directly.

’It really is genuine!?’ Yu Hong’s expression stirred slightly as he withdrew his hand. The Holy Medicine given by Qian Rong could indeed break through minor realms!

But then, he seemed to think of something and reached out again.

’Enhance the Meteorite Immortal Brew, direction: increase the Source Disaster poison within.’

The black line flashed again, quickly providing feedback.

’No basic function, unable to enhance.’

Yu Hong felt relieved and continued.

Next was enhancing the hidden Controlling Creatures technique, which also did not exist.

Relying on this special method of identification, he evaluated dozens of different directions in one go, finally confirming that the Meteorite Immortal Brew was genuine.

Moreover, its effect had no side effects, no aftereffects, extremely potent. Truly worthy of being a breakthrough Holy Medicine!

This also seemed to prove that Senior Sister Qian Rong might genuinely be from their sect, not a disguise infiltrated by the Source Disaster.

Most of Yu Hong’s wariness was lifted after receiving the confirmation from the Black Mark.

A few days later, news of Senior Sister Hei Ying breaking through to the Divinity Transformation stage also arrived.

She too broke through after consuming the Meteorite Immortal Brew given by Qian Rong.

This made Yu Hong increasingly certain that Qian Rong was trustworthy.

Several times afterward, he saw Qian Rong battling Black Disaster Monsters more fiercely than his senior brothers.

One strike would clear a large area.

Everything seemed to be progressing in a positive direction, but.... the defense belt was repaired, yet the Corrupt Traveler senior still hadn’t shown up.

This cast a faint ominous shadow over Yu Hong’s heart.

At the edge of the Mineral Star System, near an earth-yellow planet.

In space, a pitch-black vortex was continuously spinning at high speed, drawing in all nearby material and energy, absorbing them.

At the core of the vortex, on a floating massive black island.

Feng Xuezi raised one hand, a complex white light symbol shining in the center of his palm. The symbol released an invisible force field, enveloping the slender-armed monster standing motionless in front of him.

The monster was covered in purple-red cracks, as if purple flames were ready to burst out from within at any moment.

Both Feng Xuezi and the monster stood in a standoff, seemingly engaged in an unknown level of confrontation.

External observers could not perceive this.

Not far away, the Corrupt Traveler quietly observed, with an invisible force field behind him forming a wall, firmly blocking the massive black vortex from entering this area.

"How long has it been? I can sense the defense belt’s energy;Zheng Rou really didn’t let me down, he’s repaired it!" A rare smile appeared on the Corrupt Traveler’s face. His extended confrontation with the Child of the Mother Tree had nearly drained most of his power.

The repair of the defense belt was indeed good news for him.

"I can handle this alone. Go back for now. I can hold out for the time being. If I wasn’t worried about destroying the mining planet, I could seal him myself! Quickly activate the defense belt, then we can all breathe a sigh of relief!" Feng Xuezi’s voice sounded in his mind.

"I will return as quickly as possible!" replied the Corrupt Traveler seriously.

In the next moment, his figure flickered and disappeared in an instant.
