Chapter 182: Chapter 141: Life and Death Profound Light, Instant Kill of the 4th Stage Peak, The Fast Path to Advancement, Intermediate Mission!_3

In an instant, the lion’s body withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its life force poured directly into Lu Sheng’s body.

[Immortal Technique Progress +5!]

[Cultivation Progress +1!]

In Lu Sheng’s eyes, subtitles appeared one after another, and at the same moment, the vast life force in his body was completely refined.

"Phew, the last task of killing a peak Tier Four cosmic creature is done!"

Lu Sheng let out a long breath of impure air.

Then, with a thought, the system panel automatically appeared.

[Realm: Golden Body (69/100)]

[Immortal Technique: (95/100) Level 2]

[Life and Death Technique: (MAX)]

[Domain of Mental Realm: (3/100) Level 3]

[Undying Technique: (5/100) Level 3]

"The cultivation progress will soon reach 70, thanks to extracting life force for my Golden Body. Otherwise, if I had to cultivate on my own, the progress wouldn’t be this fast."

"The Immortal Technique is also about to reach level three."

"I just need to kill another peak Tier Four cosmic creature to promote the Immortal Technique to level three. By then... maybe with a level three Immortal Technique and a maxed-out Life and Death Technique, I can advance my cultivation progress to 70!"

"This month has been quite fruitful!"

Lu Sheng smirked as he walked inside the Sky Pillar, ready to accept another task of killing a peak Tier Four cosmic creature to upgrade his Immortal Technique to level three.

However, as he clicked on the task center and searched for tasks involving peak Tier Four cosmic creatures, he was stunned to find...

These tasks... were gone!

Lu Sheng looked at the empty task center and fell into silence.

It was hard to find a way to quickly enhance his strength without any danger, but halfway through, or less than halfway, the path disappeared?

"Although the peak Tier Four cosmic creature tasks are gone, there are still many tasks for late, mid, or even early Tier Four creatures, but..."

"These tasks are certainly easy, but the progress is too slow. Even with late Tier Four cosmic creatures, I need to kill several to match the boost from a single peak Tier Four cosmic creature."

Lu Sheng shook his head as he looked at the hunting tasks in the task center.

"This is a bit of a headache!"

Lu Sheng rubbed his temples and glanced through the beginner tasks. After a long moment of contemplation, he closed the beginner task center and opened the intermediate task center.

Intermediate tasks are meant for Tier Five students of the Life Factions or students with strength comparable to Tier Five.

"In my current state, even without using the Giant Divine Soldier, I can be considered invincible below Tier Five. If I use the Giant Divine Soldier... I can even unleash the combat power equivalent to mid-stage Tier Five!"

A faint light flickered in Lu Sheng’s eyes.

Back in those days, Du Bai could barely unleash mid-stage Tier Five combat power by piloting the Giant Divine Soldier after reaching peak Tier Four.

But Lu Sheng... had already surpassed Du Bai.

In the Life Factions, mid-stage Tier Five combat power is considered strong among students.

"Perhaps... it’s time to try intermediate tasks."

"As long as I don’t encounter some special cosmic races, like Senior Brother Bai faced with the Space Soul Race, the risk shouldn’t be too high."

Lu Sheng thought secretly, then looked at the intermediate task center.

Compared to the beginner task center, there were fewer tasks in the intermediate task center, and each task had the words "caution advised" tagged to it.

Lu Sheng browsed through a series of intermediate tasks, and soon, one task caught his attention.

[Intermediate Task: Support Earth Dragon Star!]

[Task Information: Earth Dragon Star is facing an invasion from the Void Insect Race. Many students have been dispatched to purge the Void Insects, but unexpectedly, a Tier Five cosmic life form, the Hive Tyrant, has emerged on Earth Dragon Star. The defense line is on the brink of collapse, and students on the mission face life-threatening danger.]

[Task Requirement: Tier Five Strength! Kill the Tier Five cosmic life form, the Hive Tyrant!]

[Task Reward: 3000 credits!]

"Earth Dragon Star? Void Insect Race?"

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow as he read the task description.

Earth Dragon Star is a small planet on the front line of the Human Federation, even inferior to Tianqi Star. Frequent frontline wars have hindered its development, making it hard to spawn powerful Transcendents.

The Void Insect Race is an extremely peculiar cosmic race in the universe. This race has a pathological desire to devour all living and organic beings. After swallowing a planet, they turn it into a hatchery for their swarm.

It is clear that Earth Dragon Star has been targeted by the Void Insect Race and is transforming into a hatchery.

This race has a single consciousness known as the Hive Mind.

All Void Insects obey the Hive Mind, but the sheer number means the Hive Mind cannot control them all, hence the need for cerebrum nodes.

And this cerebrum node is the Hive Tyrant!

The Hive Tyrant is second only to the Hive Mind in status among the Void Insect Race, managing a portion of the Void Insects. As long as the Hive Tyrant is eliminated, the remaining Void Insects will be easier to deal with.

Lu Sheng rubbed his chin, speaking softly to himself.

"As for the Insect Race... their number is vast, which is troublesome for Transcendents with limited attack methods. But for me, with the Domain of Mental Realm and Life and Death Profound Light..."

"It’s more than sufficient to extract the life force from these insects easily."
