Chapter 365 Ancient Demon Soul
After succeeding, Shen Rugo didn't stop. She pushed off with her feet and ran wildly towards another exit of the valley without looking back, her speed so fast that she was left as a blur.
"You wretch! Put down the pills!"
The Crimson Fairy was the first to notice, and her eyebrows furrowed in anger. Her red ribbons, like venomous snakes, pursued her relentlessly.
"Stop her!"
The Hundred Insect Monster roared and commanded everyone to block the way.
But Shen Rugo ran too fast, with three speed talismans affixed to her legs. Not to mention these Foundation Establishment cultivators, even Golden Core cultivators couldn't catch up with her.
In a few leaps and bounds, Shen Rugo's figure disappeared into the mist of the valley.
After running for a hundred miles in one breath and confirming that no one was chasing her, Shen Rugo found a cave to hide in.
She gazed with delight at the three round, plump pills, shimmering with golden light, feeling the immense yet gentle spiritual energy they contained; her mouth almost watered.
Without hesitation, she swallowed one.
The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, transforming into a warm current that surged into her limbs and bones. A massive amount of pure spiritual energy erupted, frantically cleansing her meridians.
If it were an ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivator, even one at the Great Perfection stage, they would be instantly burst apart.
But Shen Rugo's meridians and dantian were already wider and stronger than imagined.
She activated the Five Elements Nine Revolutions Divine Skill, absorbing it with all her might.
Although it was just a small pill, it formed a surging torrent of magical power within her entire body's meridians, continuously pouring into her dantian.
This pill actually reached the sixth-grade superior level.
Don't say that Shen Rugo doesn't have the ability to refine them now; even if she did, she wouldn't have these rare and precious materials.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Rugo opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.
"I don't know what this pill is called, but the energy it contains is truly terrifying. It truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient elixir!"
She felt a significant increase in spiritual power within her body and was overjoyed.
Making elixirs is not just about knowing the formula and the method; more importantly, it requires the right raw materials.
Clearly, the raw materials for this elixir are extremely precious, and are absolutely among the rarest materials in the world.
It would be impossible to gather all of them in the entire Tianyuan Great World outside.
"Your Highness, let's continue and see if we can break through to the peak of the seventeenth level of Qi Refining!"
Just as Shen Rugo was savoring the taste of the pill, Zhao Cai's voice rang out.
"Alright, alright, you damn nagging devil, I know what to do!"
This time, Shen Rugo didn't stand on ceremony and swallowed the remaining two pills.
As expected, she was not disappointed. After swallowing the two pills, she reached the peak of the seventeenth level of Qi Refining, which is the Great Perfection. The next stage is either Foundation Establishment or the eighteenth level of Qi Refining.
Now, Shen Rugo no longer rejects the seventeenth and eighteenth levels of Qi Refining. Just as Zhao Cai said, although she is now in the Qi Refining realm instead of the Foundation Establishment realm, cultivators in the late or even peak stages of Foundation Establishment are no match for her.
Don't accuse her of using tricks; even in a one-on-one contest of strength, she wouldn't lose to any Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"Keep looting!"
After stabilizing her cultivation level, Shen Rugo shouted and rushed out of the cave, continuing to rush forward under Zhao Cai's guidance.
With Zhao Cai's keen senses, Shen Rugo arrived at a secluded valley. If it weren't for Zhao Cai's clues, she would never have been able to find this place.
As soon as she entered, Shen Rugo's eyes widened.
This place turned out to be a desolate ancient battlefield.
The sky was gray, the earth was scorched black, and it was covered with bottomless cracks and huge skeletons.
The air was thick with lingering resentment and a chilling residual energy, making one feel uneasy.
"How could there be an ancient battlefield in this secret realm? And this skeleton is so huge, far exceeding the size of an ordinary person?"
Although the place felt eerie to Shen Rugo, as if countless wronged souls were wandering around, her intuition told her that there was definitely something good inside.
But after searching around, they found nothing.
"It seems the good stuff is either buried underground, or..."
Her gaze fell upon the enormous, mountain-like remains of immortals and demons.
Just as she approached a black skeleton that resembled a dragon but was not quite, another change occurred!
A plume of black smoke suddenly burst out of the skull's eye sockets, transforming into a hideous demonic soul clad in tattered armor!
This demonic soul possesses a powerful aura, far surpassing the Foundation Establishment stage; it is clearly a remnant soul at the Golden Core level!
"Hehehe! Fresh souls! After all these years, blood food has finally been delivered to our door again!"
The demonic soul let out a piercing shriek, filled with endless resentment and greed, and pounced on Shen Rugo.
Its greatest strength lies in soul attacks, devouring the will of living beings.
Shen Rugo was startled and instinctively tried to run, but the demonic soul was too fast and was already upon her!
"Oh no, oh no, this is terrible! Zhao Cai, come to my rescue!"
Shen Rugo had never encountered anything like this before, and she panicked for a moment. At the crucial moment, she shouted "Zhao Cai" (meaning "bring good fortune").
Even she herself didn't realize that she was becoming more and more dependent on the lucky charm, and she always thought of it at crucial moments.
Ignoring her screams, the demonic soul grinned and transformed into a streak of black light, directly piercing into Shen Rugo's brow and rushing towards her sea of consciousness, the place where her soul's origin resided.
It seemed as if it had already tasted the sweetness of that soul.
However, the next second, the demonic soul found itself not in the fragile space of memories it had imagined, a space where it could freely wreak havoc.
Instead, they stumbled into a vast, indestructible, solid continent!
There are no floating thoughts, no flowing memories, no fragile emotional ripples here, only a boundless, gray "land" composed of extremely condensed spiritual consciousness, hard, heavy, and lifeless!
The demon soul was stunned.
It charged, tore, and roared wildly in this solid sea of consciousness, trying to find a crack, a fluctuation of consciousness, but all its efforts were in vain.
Its soul power attack was like a mud ox entering the sea, failing to even stir up a ripple. Instead, due to the constant collisions, its own soul body began to become unstable.
"What... what is this Soul Sea? What exactly are you?!"
The demonic soul let out a terrified scream.
It had never encountered such a situation before. Even the physical cultivation giants of ancient times could not have such a solid sea of consciousness!
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"
Zhao Cai was also caught off guard by this scene and screamed in fright.
After all, before that demonic soul dissipated, its strength level was far above Shen Rugo's. If it were to devour Shen Rugo's soul, it wouldn't even be able to cry anymore.
Faced with this kind of soul power attack, it could only watch helplessly, unable to offer any assistance.
Meanwhile, Shen Rugo, in her anxiety, felt a cool sensation between her brows and felt a little dizzy, but the feeling quickly subsided.
Under her inner vision, she "saw" the black shadow that was bumping around in her sea of consciousness like a headless fly. Only then did she realize that it was trying to attack her soul. It seemed that its soul was not very strong and was trapped in her sea of souls!
Shen Rugo looked at the demonic soul that was running around like a headless fly and screaming in panic, and sneered, "I say, you ugly monster, you barged in without even saying hello, how rude of you!"
