Chapter 507 - 255: Thunderous Vajra Spell, Rare Treasure Embryo

"It must be related to the original host possessed by the Star Evil. The essence of this Star Evil closely resembles the Thunderstruck Earth-Splitting Ox." With his wealth of experience, Lao Xiuyuan judged the key to why the Foundation Establishment Array was shattered by that Star Evil in one blow.

"Thunderstruck Earth-Splitting Ox?" Liou Yuan repeated Lao Xiuyuan’s words, quickly recalling information about the Thunderstruck Earth-Splitting Ox in his mind.

This demon beast is quite renowned among Foundation Establishment demon beasts, entirely due to its Thunderstruck Horn, which has a natural suppressing effect on arrays and some defensive measures.

However, Liou Yuan, having read extensively, knew that although the Thunderstruck Earth-Splitting Ox could suppress array barriers, it shouldn’t reach a level where it can shatter them in one blow.

"It must be that when the Star Evil was parasitic, the Thunderstruck Horn underwent some kind of peculiar transformation." Liou Yuan speculated quietly.

"This transformation is somewhat similar to the birth conditions of Wonders."

This conjecture caused a strange premonition to rise in Liou Yuan’s heart.

"No way, such good luck, encountering a Calamity-level Star Evil bearing a Wonder as soon as I leave the mountain gate?"

Of course, all this was Liou Yuan’s speculation. The birth conditions of Wonders are extremely harsh, especially Foundation Establishment Wonders, which are hardly seen within a century.

So as soon as this thought rose, Liou Yuan shook his head and dismissed it from his mind.

"Clearly, I’m overthinking it."

Mulling it over, Liou Yuan pointed to the chaotic city below and asked Lao Xiuyuan and Wei Miaomeng.

"Shall we take action?"

After the Foundation Establishment Array was broken, one could see that Star Evils below were already flooding into the city like a tide, flattening houses wherever they went. The citizens’ terrified screams and cries blended with the roars of the demons.

Cultivators in the city were fighting the demons with blood, turning this once prosperous city into an Asura Battlefield.

In this process.

Buzz! A wave of Foundation Establishment fluctuation rose from the depths of the city.

A figure of a middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivator in a purple robe emerged and battled at one spot with the Rhino Star Evil that had entered the city, attempting to fend off the Rhino Star Evil.

Liou Yuan saw that the Jiuli State Foundation Establishment cultivator was only at the Early-stage Foundation Establishment, nowhere near being a match for the Rhino Star Evil.

As soon as his figure landed in front of the Rhino Star Evil, the magic he cast was shattered by the Rhino Star Evil’s horn.

A flash of red light shimmered on the Thunderstruck Horn, not only failing to injure the Rhino Star Evil but, conversely, sending the Foundation Establishment cultivator flying, embedding his body into the city wall.

According to this trend, within half an hour, the entire city will be slaughtered empty.

"We Five Extremes Mountain cultivators eliminate demons and defend the truth; how can we stand idly by?" Lao Xiuyuan responded to Liou Yuan with action. As his words fell, he shot down toward the city below.

Accompanied by the casting of his Wind Acupoint Skill, a wind blade over a hundred yards tall took shape, slashing toward the Rhino Star Evil that was about to chase the city’s Foundation Establishment defender.

Leaving Liou Yuan and Wei Miaomeng facing each other in the void.

"I was thinking it’d be better to have less trouble than more, yet Mr. Lao went ahead and fought." Wei Miaomeng shook her head, having spent over a decade in Shoushan Tower and seen many disciples’ lives and deaths.

Deeply understanding that in executing tasks, surviving means not meddling.

However, now that Lao Xiuyuan had already gone down there, the three of them had the responsibility of the Nightmare Demon Palace lurking task, clearly unable to let Lao Xiuyuan encounter any mishaps.

Though complaining, Wei Miaomeng responsibly turned to Liou Yuan and exclaimed helplessly, "Let’s go together, Liou Yuan Brother, the three of us together can even handle a Late-stage Foundation Establishment."

"Exactly what I intended!" Liou Yuan nodded lightly.

But of course, before acting, he didn’t forget to stealthily activate the Fixed Star Compass within his body.

"Just worrying that after reaching the Nightmare Demon Palace, I won’t find a Calamity-level Star Evil to kill. Perfect, I’ll deal with it on the way."

Buzz! The Fixed Star Compass activated and quickly locked onto the Rhino Star Evil engaged in fierce battle within the city with Lao Xiuyuan.

The strength and realm of the latter were completely probed by the Fixed Star Compass.

[Detected Star Evil Aura]

[Danger Level: 1st Rank Class D]

[Slay the Alien Star Evil, and obtain a Wonder Embryo: Thunderstruck Horn]

"Wonder Embryo?" Liou Yuan had previously doubted whether the Thunderstruck Earth-Splitting Ox carried a Wonder.

The Fixed Star Compass actually provided the reward of a Wonder Embryo.

But clearly, the Wonder Embryo is not a Wonder; Liou Yuan hadn’t heard of such a concept before.

Yet whether it’s a Wonder or a Wonder Embryo, Liou Yuan already had reason to act.

"A 1st Rank Class D strength indicates this Calamity-level Star Evil is roughly at Mid-stage Foundation Establishment strength; the three of us can definitely kill it."

This was one of the purposes behind Liou Yuan’s use of the Fixed Star Compass, to preview the strength of this Star Evil and assess the risk.

A danger level of 1st Rank Class D means it’s worth taking the risk.

"Kill!" Liou Yuan uttered the word "kill" which exploded like thunder in the night sky.

Boom! Then Liou Yuan stepped forward in the void, causing the space beneath his feet to emit a rumbling sound.

In the process, his body burst forth with dazzling golden light, with the True Essence in his Celestial Spirit Qi Mansion raging.

Afraid his identity would be exposed, he didn’t use the Cold Abyss Jade to perform swordsmanship, but directly relied on the Geng Metal Body Refining Skill to confront the enemy.

Now fully activating the Celestial Spirit Qi Mansion, he felt an endless stream of power flowing into his limbs and every bone; in this moment he felt capable of moving mountains.

’Whoosh!’ Liou Yuan clenched his fists, his body transformed into a golden meteor in the void, dragging a long golden trajectory before crashing into the Rhino Demon Beast’s mountainous flesh.

’Boom!’ The entire city’s ground was groaning.
