Chapter 181: Chapter 141: Life and Death Profound Light, Instant Kill of the 4th Stage Peak, The Fast Path to Advancement, Intermediate Mission!_2

Clearly, it had also discovered the existence of Lu Sheng.

"A peak fourth-level cosmic creature... its aura is strong, but I wonder how its strength measures up!"

Lu Sheng walked calmly towards the Starlight Giant Crocodile, but a glimmer of faint light instantly flashed within his body. Immediately, the Life and Death Realm expanded, instantly covering a range of a thousand meters, enveloping the Starlight Giant Crocodile within.

After elevating the Life and Death Technique to Perfection, Lu Sheng also comprehended a special ability from the perfected level of the Life and Death Technique.

It was called... the Life and Death Profound Light!

The function of the Life and Death Profound Light was somewhat similar to the Life and Death Realm. However, the former is passive, while the latter needs to be actively released by Lu Sheng.

The faint Life and Death Profound Light covered the range of the Life and Death Realm, and the body of the Starlight Giant Crocodile was also enveloped in a layer of faint mystical light.

Zzzzzz!!!

It was akin to the sound of oil dripping onto a sizzling hot iron plate. The body of the Starlight Giant Crocodile began to corrode the moment it touched the Life and Death Realm and the Life and Death Profound Light.

The body immediately started to erode.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!!"

The pain made the crocodile roar repeatedly, but before it could act, the faint mystical light, along with the Life and Death Realm, had already corroded all the flesh and blood of the crocodile.

With a miserable scream, the Starlight Giant Crocodile rushed towards Lu Sheng, intending to bite him apart. But before it could get close, its flesh and blood had already melted under the two synergistic forces.

The powerful vitality it possessed was also extracted and surged into Lu Sheng’s body.

Eventually...

The body of the Starlight Giant Crocodile turned into a pile of dry bones, drifting in the cosmos.

"Is it... dead already?"

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly, not expecting a peak fourth-level cosmic creature to withstand only a few breaths in his hands.

However, looking at the dry bones of the Starlight Giant Crocodile, Lu Sheng felt a familiar sensation.

"The body of the Starlight Giant Crocodile looks quite similar to the cosmic creature that transformed into the Ancient Temple Star. Could it be..."

Gazing at the dry bones of the Starlight Giant Crocodile, Lu Sheng vaguely guessed.

"Brother Yang Zhenyun once mentioned that the Immortal Technique, the Life and Death Technique, and the Undying Technique can advance to planet-level cultivation techniques. Now, seeing the skeleton of the Starlight Giant Crocodile so similar to the skeleton of the Ancient Temple Star beast, could it be that the seven-level creature on the Ancient Temple Star was killed by an advanced planet-level cultivation technique?"

Lu Sheng slightly raised his eyebrows, then shook his head.

"But the seventh level and planet-level cultivation techniques are still too far for me. For now, even without relying on Qingtian, I can easily slaughter a peak fourth-level cosmic creature."

"Below the fifth level... unless there’s a Transcendent who has also perfected a planet-level cultivation technique and whose Mental Realm is on par with mine, all other Transcendents are no match for me!"

Lu Sheng smiled faintly, quite satisfied with the current scene.

Then, Lu Sheng dispelled the Life and Death Realm and the Life and Death Profound Light, intending to return to Qingtian. However, he discovered that the vitality extracted from the Starlight Giant Crocodile had fed back into his Golden Body and Immortal Technique, although the increase was not very significant, Lu Sheng still noticed it.

There was even a subtitle appearing before him.

[Immortal Technique Progress +5!]

"Hmm? Could it be that the vitality extracted by the Life and Death Realm and the Life and Death Profound Light enhances the Immortal Technique and the Golden Body?"

Previously, Lu Sheng had also extracted the vitality of the Yellow Sand Beast, but as the Yellow Sand Beast was a special creature condensed from Deathly Silence Qi, its vitality was extremely weak, making it imperceptible to Lu Sheng.

But the vitality within the Starlight Giant Crocodile was extraordinarily potent.

"The vitality of just one Starlight Giant Crocodile actually increased my Immortal Technique progress by five points. This growth is quite astonishing!"

"At this rate, couldn’t I elevate the Immortal Technique to level three by killing twenty more of them?"

"Even if the growth decreases as the Immortal Technique levels up, just by continuously killing peak fourth-level cosmic creatures, I could potentially perfect the Immortal Technique with around three hundred peak fourth-level cosmic creatures!"

"Additionally, the extraction of vitality not only enhances the Immortal Technique but also effectively boosts my cultivation progress."

Savoring the feedback from extracting the vitality, Lu Sheng’s eyes brightened.

"It seems... I’ve found a way to rapidly increase the progress of the Immortal Technique and my cultivation!"

With this realization, Lu Sheng did not waste any more time. He turned and returned to Qingtian, connected to the Life Factions’ network, and navigated directly to the task retrieval page to quickly search for tasks involving the killing of peak fourth-level creatures.

Scanning the available tasks, Lu Sheng immediately accepted a dozen tasks involving the killing of peak fourth-level creatures.

Following the coordinates sent by the mission center, he piloted the Giant Divine Soldier and headed straight for the destinations.

...

A month later.

On a planet seemingly filled with magma, Lu Sheng stood in mid-air, spreading the Life and Death Realm. At this moment, the Life and Death Profound Light also enveloped the Life and Death Realm.

From within the magma under Lu Sheng’s feet, a lion bathed in flames burst out instantly, roaring deafeningly.

But before the lion could get close to Lu Sheng, the Life and Death Realm paired with the Life and Death Profound Light had already fallen upon the lion.
