Chapter 505: Chapter 500 Post-apocalyptic Rebirth_2

Ye Xuan knew that these were all illusions produced by physical exhaustion, and no matter what, he could not pass out because once he did, he might never wake up again. Biting his own tongue to stay conscious, Ye Xuan stopped in a clearing.

Shaking his head, Ye Xuan felt his spirit had become much slower, and at this time, even an ordinary Martial Venerate expert could easily defeat him.

"My cultivation is still too low. In these ruins, there are too many who can kill me."

Ye Xuan sat down cross-legged on the ground and began to heal his injuries with the power of his cultivation. His previous thoughts were too naive; the people here don’t care about your cultivation level — in their eyes, there is only treasure. They would do anything for it, casting aside any semblance of dignity, even if it meant the Saint Heirs from the Daluo Heavenly Palace would resort to any means to kill him.

To survive and leave this place, or to thrive and not be taken lightly by others, he had only one option: to improve his strength.

Just like Xue Lingzi, whose strength was formidable, even if he was alone, others from different forces still dared not provoke him, treating him with respect.

But now, Ye Xuan’s only thought was to heal first. If he didn’t heal, no matter how tough he was, he wouldn’t survive another day. After recovering from his injuries, it wouldn’t be too late to give his all to overcome the next challenge.

This grudge from the arrow shot, he must avenge, just not now.

Ye Xuan took several pills from the Qiankun Ring and quickly swallowed them, then began to slowly refine them.

...

At this time, in another part of the passage of the Evil Dragon Temple, Xue Lingzi had also shaken off his pursuers. It had taken him quite an effort to finally lose Lord Wind and Shangguan Hong.

"I wonder how Junior Brother Ye Xuan is doing."

Having successfully escaped, Xue Lingzi couldn’t help but worry about Ye Xuan’s situation. He himself, bold and skilled, didn’t fear much, but Ye Xuan had not yet grown strong, and his power was only average. Facing the Golden Raging Saint, who knew what the outcome would be.

"Forget it, worrying is useless. Junior Brother Ye Xuan has many secrets, and he probably won’t fall so easily."

Xue Lingzi shook his head; he didn’t believe the Golden Raging Saint could kill Ye Xuan. As long as the latter survived, there would still be a chance for a reunion.

...

On one side of the passageway, after who knows how long, Ye Xuan finally woke up from his drowsy state.

By this time, three days had passed since he first started healing in this place.

"It’s been three days already."

Ye Xuan began to inspect the injuries within his body, and to his slight surprise, the previously disastrous injuries had already recovered by nearly fifty percent. This was all thanks to the plentiful supply of healing pills he had brought with him. Fortunately, he was well-prepared, or else he wouldn’t have been able to recover so quickly.

"It seems that it will take more than three days to fully recover. However, at this rate, it should be no problem to recover over eighty percent of my strength in two days."

Ye Xuan’s mouth curved into a slight smile as the recovery of his cultivation was going smoother than he had imagined. This way, although it would delay him a little, he wasn’t too worried that it would affect the progress of his exploration, considering the complicated terrain of the Evil Dragon Temple. He couldn’t be troubled by that.

It might even be good to let those outside run into some dead ends.

Two days later.

Ye Xuan’s strength had recovered to nearly ninety percent. Next, he planned to use what he gained from these ruins to fully push towards the realm of Second Grade Martial Venerate.

Ye Xuan’s breakthrough to First Grade Martial Venerable had not been long ago, and it wasn’t easy to achieve another advancement in a short period of time, yet with two Dragon Saliva Fruits and five Evil Dragon Crystals at his disposal, his attempt to break into the Second Grade Martial Venerate Realm was more than sufficient.

Although cultivation was not the definitive factor in strength, it was at least the main component. In most cases, cultivation limited the storage and purity of True Yuan, hence a breakthrough would bring immense benefits.

Ye Xuan took out a Dragon Saliva Fruit and several other medicinal herbs from his Qiankun Ring, then crushed the fruit and herbs into a pulp, mixing their juices before finally swallowing the mixture.

The Dragon Saliva Fruit was an extremely precious treasure of heaven and earth; consuming it alone could not fully unleash its medicinal effects. It had to be used in conjunction with other herbs to maximize its efficacy; otherwise, much of its potency would be wasted, which would undoubtedly be a reckless squandering of precious resources.

As the juice from the Dragon Saliva Fruit and other herbs entered his stomach, an immediate warm sensation flooded Ye Xuan’s Dantian, and a layer of blue light emerged around his body, making him resemble a blue sculpture.

The potent effect of the Dragon Saliva Fruit spread rapidly, and as it mingled with Ye Xuan’s True Yuan, forming a Circulation, it continuously infused into the True Yuan. The robust medicinal strength of the Dragon Saliva Fruit first hastened the healing of Ye Xuan’s wounds and, after such regeneration, not only did the strength of his body significantly increase, but his mental will also grew stronger than before. His soul power made substantial progress, reaching the level of the Mid Heavenly Realm.

"The Dragon Saliva Fruit truly lives up to its reputation as a celestial treasure, for its effects are indeed potent."

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but sigh as he felt the benefits of the Dragon Saliva Fruit, then took out an Evil Dragon Crystal and began to absorb its power to aid in his cultivation.

With his cultivation, a single Dragon Saliva Fruit would have been enough, but because Ye Xuan practiced the Hidden Dragon Skill, which required True Yuan of very high purity, one Dragon Saliva Fruit could not meet the need. He had to rely on the Evil Dragon Crystal to make up for the shortage of energy.

The energy within the Evil Dragon Crystal contained a hint of formidable malicious will, which could cause chronic erosion of a person’s mental and spiritual will. However, Ye Xuan was protected by his Sword Intent and his soul power was strong; it was sufficient to protect his soul from erosion. Even if all else failed, he still had his Martial Arts Primordial Spirit, and even the strongest will of the Evil Dragon posed no threat to it.

Thus, as time passed, the aura emanating from Ye Xuan grew stronger by the day. This was a process of quantitative change, but such change was bound to eventually cause a powerful qualitative transformation...

...

At this moment, in the deepest reaches of the Evil Dragon Temple, four figures gathered together; they were the "Inner Sect Four Demons," including Xue Lingzi and Fei Yue.

After Leng Wusheng had purged the malicious will, he had regained consciousness. Now, the four of them were reunited and discussing their next move.

"Eldest brother, are you saying that Ye Xuan might have fallen victim to Daluo Heavenly Palace’s treachery?"

Leng Wusheng furrowed his brows, seemingly incredulous as he looked at Xue Lingzi. It was hard for him to believe this; he knew Ye Xuan had saved him, and he had yet to repay Ye Xuan’s kindness. How could the other man have died?

"Mm, now that all of you have appeared and there’s still no news of Ye Xuan, he is likely to have encountered trouble," Xue Lingzi was also skeptical, but Ye Xuan had been missing for so many days, which made him suspect something might have happened to Ye Xuan.

"Damn it, those scumbags from Daluo Heavenly Palace actually dared to make a move on Ye Xuan. Big brother, what are you planning to do? Shall we go settle the score with Daluo Heavenly Palace now?" Leng Wusheng spoke through gritted teeth.

"I think we should first find out what happened to Ye Xuan. I don’t believe he would fall so easily," Fei Yue said, slowly lifting her head.

"That’s right, we’re outnumbered; even if we go to settle a score with Daluo Heavenly Palace now, we wouldn’t gain much advantage. At least under the current circumstances, we need to be wary of the Gentleman Sect’s people. Let’s try to find Ye Xuan first," Xue Lingzi also shook his head, finding that confronting Daluo Heavenly Palace was not a wise decision. Even if they intended to avenge Ye Xuan, it was not the right time. They had to wait for the right opportunity.

...

Time ticked away, and finally, Ye Xuan’s cultivation reached a critical moment. He could feel the Sword Martial Soul in his Dantian undergoing transformation, and his True Yuan also showed signs of qualitative change. It was like an undercurrent beneath a calm sea, ready to unleash tremendous potential and whip up raging waves at any moment.

Buzz!

The Sword Martial Soul suddenly trembled, emitting dazzling brilliance, and then abruptly, its size inflated, as its aura surged dramatically.
