Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 539 Ultimate Sublimation—Breakthrough (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
half an hour later

"roar~"

Seven ninth-realm experts unleashed their killing moves backward, causing the space to tremble and creating an energy storm that instantly melted the snowflakes in the air.

"bang"

The Thunder Prison Lion roared in fury, its massive body crashing to the ground and dying. The lightning power within it dissipated, and its blood cascaded down, soaking the snow like a waterfall.

“Finally won!”

The disheveled, silver-armored Northern River Sword King let out a breath, utterly exhausted.

Looking at the others, they were also feeling bad at this moment.

He looked at the three—Overlord, Sword Emperor, and Mountain and River King—and sighed at the difference in their strength.

The difference in strength can be seen from the battle with the Thunder Prison Lion.

Even someone like me who hasn't broken through to the next level is still at the bottom of the list of ninth-realm martial artists.

Faced with the level 10 calamity beast, Thunder Prison Lion, they were completely helpless and unable to inflict any effective damage.

While Dao Huang and Tian Jian were slightly stronger, they were still unable to kill the level 10 calamity beast.

Only those at the level of Mountain and River King and Sword Emperor can inflict massive damage.

Among them, the Overlord is the most powerful, clearly a level stronger than the Sword Emperor.

Without the Overlord, killing the Thunder Prison Lion would be even more difficult.

He didn't realize the vastness of the Ninth Realm until he broke through to the Ninth Realm.

They discussed it privately, and the Overlord revealed that he was no match for the Crimson Emperor.

The Crimson Emperor is in a class of unparalleled power.

Looking at the flowing blood, the Overlord addressed the Illusion Sword King:

"We can't waste its blood!"

The Sword Queen was a woman with a stern demeanor and a tall, graceful figure.

She nodded, then used her mental power to envelop the flowing blood and levitate it.

At the same time, the corpse of the Thunder Prison Lion was levitated and flew towards the Black Dragon Base.

"Boom!"

Meanwhile, an hour had passed, and the three spatial gates began to close.

The Purple-Armored Overlord watched as the dark, surging tide of calamity beasts surged toward the Black Dragon Base. Any later, and the defenses would be completely breached.

"Go ahead!"

"The monster horde should end soon!"

"Buzz!!"

After speaking, he swung the purple spear in his hand, condensing hundreds of spear beams, and shot them at the level nine calamity beast.

The five ninth-realm martial artists beside them also made their move at the same time!

Begin hunting down the seven level-nine calamity beasts!

Ten minutes later, three top-tier ninth-realm warriors made their move, and all six level-nine calamity beasts, including the Platinum Fiend Tiger, the Earth-Shaking Dragon Elephant, the Black Gold Azure Eagle, and the Crimson Flame Bird, were killed.

As for the seventh level-nine mountain-moving ape, it ran back to the other world ahead of schedule.

"This mountain-moving ape is acting strangely; its strength has increased again."

The Mountain and River King looked at the fallen corpse of the level nine calamity beast with a puzzled expression.

However, this thought only lasted for a moment before disappearing.

He watched the massive horde of calamity beasts, then gathered his inner energy and unleashed a barrage of arrows, precisely targeting the high-level calamity beasts.

"Puff puff puff~~"

"roar~"

Amidst the pitiful roars, one after another, level eight and level seven calamity beasts had their skulls pierced, and their massive bodies crashed to the ground.

The level nine martial artist unleashed his full power, resulting in the deaths of a large number of calamity beasts.

The situation has begun to reverse!

……

Black Dragon Base, Room 206, Martial Arts Room

"Hoohoo!!"

A strong gust of wind blew, and waves of heat emanated from Lin Qi, who was sitting cross-legged in black and gold armor.

"Buzz!!"

He suddenly opened his eyes, his chest heaving, and exhaled a heavy breath.

It coalesced into a whirlwind, raging through the martial arts room.

Lin Qi slowly stood up, his strength surging forth like the turbulent waters of the Yellow River.

At the same time, the fatigue and weakness in my body dissipated considerably.

[You fought a life-or-death battle with the Zerg warriors, activating the Second Stage of Golden Transformation. Forced into a desperate situation, you unleashed your talent—Ultimate Sublimation—and your body underwent a transformation, increasing your health by 300.]

[You fought against the Zerg warriors, honing your will in a life-or-death crisis; your mental strength has increased by 300.]

[Mental Strength: 10050 → 10350]

[Qi and Blood Value: 8700 → 9000]

……

Lin Qi looked at his data and let out a breath.

"I never expected that it would actually trigger the talent of ultimate sublimation!"

"It increased my Qi and Blood value by a full 300. It's a pity I haven't fully recovered yet, otherwise the increase would have been even greater."

"After seven blood transfusions, every bit of increase in Qi and blood value is hard-won, and it's breaking other people's limits."

"It's too difficult to break through during regular cultivation!"

Lin Qi picked up his phone and glanced at the time; only an hour had passed.

He turned and left the martial arts room, a fragrant aroma wafting towards him; a meal had already been prepared on the table.

Lin Qi picked up his rice bowl and began to eat heartily.

20 minutes later

Lin Qi put down the empty bowl, got up, picked up the black and gold spear, and went out again with Xiao Chan.

"Boom!!"

He rushed out quickly, and by the time he got close to the gate, he could already hear the sound of gunfire.

His recovery ability is amazing; he has now recovered 80% of his combat strength!

Hunting the calamity beasts is no problem at all.

"roar~"

As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he saw that the three spatial gates had disappeared.

"Everyone, the portal has closed. You must hold on!"

A deep voice came from the base. Lin Qi looked at the dark mass of calamity beasts, which had already attacked the second line of defense.

"Bang!!"

Tanks and armored vehicles have already been destroyed by the monsters.

Countless wounded martial artists began to flee back to the base, and Lin Qi's gaze sharpened.

"boom!!"

In an instant, he burst forth with golden light, condensing 30 spear auras. Now, with his health and vitality greatly increased and having broken through to the fifth-order spear technique, he was able to release even more spear auras.

"Puff puff!!"

The golden spear energy shot out, accurately piercing through the foremost Cracked Claw Ape.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the bodies of the mid-level calamity beasts, such as the Cracked Claw Ape, crashed to the ground.

"It's Lin Qi, the Golden Spear Demon!"

"We are saved!"

Some low-level martial artists shouted that with Lin Qi, a top genius, there was enough to hold the second line of defense!

"Puff puff!"

Lin Qi seemed to have transformed into a ruthless killing machine, constantly wielding his black and gold spear, the golden spear energy shooting out like sharp arrows.

Even if a low- or medium-level monster is hit, it will be instantly pierced through and its life force will be extinguished.

功勋点+100、功勋点+50、功勋点+300、功勋点+800、功勋点+100……

Lin Qi could feel his merit points rising rapidly, so he rushed into the horde of calamity beasts.

The fifth-tier spear technique is faster, more powerful, smoother, and requires less effort.

Under his control, some of the cells in his body began to move wildly, releasing the Mountain and River Domain.

Within a three-meter radius, it resembles a circle with a diameter of six meters.

All the monsters within this range will be suppressed.

As soon as a low-level calamity beast is enveloped by the mountain's power, it instantly kneels to the ground, becoming a piglet for Ninja Forest to slaughter.

"Boooooooh!!"

Lin Qi kept thrusting out his spear; with his control, he could thrust out at least 500 times per second.

In just one second, it can kill more than a dozen calamity beasts.

So within a minute of his appearance, a large number of calamity beasts had already fallen.

"Lin Qi, I'm here to help you!"

Suddenly, Dean Liu, clad in silver armor, rushed out, his six throwing knives flashing like silver streaks, instantly piercing through the body of an Iron-Spine War Bear.

"Dean Liu, you've recovered so quickly?"

Lin Qi asked curiously.

Dean Liu spoke while controlling the throwing knife:

"I don't have any minor supernatural powers, so I can recover faster."

Lin Qi nodded. The side effects of the [Minor Supernatural Power] were too great; it would take several hours to recover.

With the addition of the two of them, the pressure on the second line of defense dropped sharply.

Lin Qi knew that the spatial gate had closed, and their Black Dragon Base had won. All they had to do now was deal with all the calamity beasts that had rushed out.

"I'm coming too!"

As some returned to the base, others, having finished their rest, hurriedly returned to the battlefield.

Lin Qi went completely berserk. When he saw a level seven calamity beast, the Steel-Bone Giant Tiger, charging out, he swung his spear and shot out.

Several afterimages were left behind in the same spot.

A golden spear beam shot out, tearing through the air and swiftly killing him.

……

An hour later, three figures rushed back from a distance.

It was the Water King, the Crimson King, and the Northern River Sword King. They floated in the air, releasing their inner energy, and began to guard the Black Dragon Base.

"Puff!!"

As soon as a high-level calamity beast appears, it will be instantly killed by a ninth-realm warrior!

Seeing this, Lin Qi continued to venture deeper, clearing out the low-level monsters while searching for the high-level ones.

……

In one corner of the battlefield, the area was instantly engulfed by monstrous beasts, and numerous squads of warriors were killing them.

"Oh!"

The burly Liang Tai wielded a large spear, his entire body encased in stone armor, and he radiated a brown light.

Each shot kills a level six calamity beast.

Liang Tai was thrilled; the special ability [Heavy Earth] was too powerful.

His combat power has increased significantly, and killing level six calamity beasts is as easy as killing chickens.

In just over three hours, he had already killed a large number of calamity beasts.

It earns more merit points than you would normally earn in a day of hunting.

Using this method of killing, he could quickly earn a large number of merit points, pay off his debts, and even buy many resources for cultivation. "Roar~"

Suddenly, several roars made him tremble. He saw several enormous and majestic monsters rushing towards him from a distance.

"Oh no, it's a Mighty Ape, and a three-headed one at that!"

"Come on!"

Liang Tai's expression changed drastically. Normally, if there was only one, their Rock Rift Squad could work together to kill it.

If there are three heads, they'll have no choice but to run.

"We can't escape!" Xiao Yu said anxiously, brandishing his battle sword. There were too many calamity beasts around them.

Liang Tai gritted his teeth and said:
"Then let's face it head-on!"

Soon, three Earth-Splitting Wolves charged in, and the seven members of the Rock Rift Squad faced them head-on.

Moments later, the other six people suffered different injuries, and Liang Tai was also struggling to hold on.

He felt bitter inside. Just when his luck had finally turned around, he was unlucky enough to encounter the three-headed mighty ape.

I just hope everyone can return safely this time.

"Big Brother!"

"Puff puff!!"

Suddenly, a golden spear beam shot out from the sky, instantly piercing through the three-headed giant ape. Blood splattered out, and the massive body crashed to the ground.

At the same time, a familiar voice came from beside Liang Tai.

He turned his head and saw a familiar figure.

"Little junior brother!"

Liang Tai was pleasantly surprised to see Lin Qi arrive.

"Junior brother, Brother Lin Qi!"

Second Senior Sister Wang Zhixuan, Xiao Yu and others also greeted her.

Liang Tai smiled wryly:
"Junior brother, you've saved us again!"

Lin Qi shook his head and said, "Senior Brother, you're too kind."

"I'm leaving now. Senior Brother, you guys kill more of the calamity beasts."

Liang Tai nodded, watching Lin Qi's retreating figure, then turned to the others and said:

"Let's head back to base and rest!"

Everyone nodded, then charged back to the base to rest before continuing to fight the monsters!

……

As time goes by, the number of calamity beasts is also decreasing.

Of course, the most significant threat, the level 10 Calamity Beast Thunder Prison Lion, is already dead.

Other calamity beasts no longer pose a threat.

Television stations and online platforms throughout the Xia Kingdom were also providing real-time updates on the battlefield situation.

"According to the latest news from this station, a rare and super-large horde of monstrous creatures broke out at the Heilong Base in Beijiang Province, Malaysia, at 9:15 a.m.."

"Three spatial gates descended, along with seven level-nine calamity beasts and one level-ten calamity beast!"

"Two hours into the battle, thanks to the efforts of many ninth-realm warriors from our country, we achieved an astonishing victory with zero casualties, and together we killed the level ten calamity beast, the Thunder Prison Lion!"

"Currently, two martial artists at the eighth realm have sacrificed their lives, and three at the seventh realm have sacrificed their lives..."

Countless people across the country breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the news.

"This massive beast tide was a complete success; surprisingly, no ninth-realm warriors were killed."

"Moreover, only two eighth-level martial artists have sacrificed their lives."

"This unprecedented massive horde of monsters has resulted in fewer casualties than expected."

"This shows that our Xia Kingdom has become even stronger."

The fighting continued until it was initially brought to a halt at 9 p.m.

Lin Zhen, who was in a villa in the Yujing Haoting residential area, also received news that Lin Qi was safe and sound.

They finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the people of the Sky Palace in the other world also received the news that Lin Qi was alright.

As the horde of calamities drew to a close, the atmosphere in the entire Xia Kingdom also became much more relaxed.

……

Beijiang Province, Heilong Base
"Bang!!"

"roar~"

The war was still going on, but it was nearing its end, and it was completely dark.

The artificial mini-sun illuminated the entire battlefield.

It has started snowing again. Snowflakes are falling on the ground, and only a small amount of white snow can be seen.

Countless snowflakes melted into slush under the bombardment of artillery fire, while the battle between martial artists also caused the snow to melt.

The battlefield, stretching for over ten kilometers, was littered with the corpses of monstrous beasts.

A large number of transport vehicles began carrying the corpses of the monstrous beasts back.

In one of the areas.

Lin Qi, dressed in black armor, looked solemnly at the fallen, burly figure.

The figure was Meng Wu, who had been dead for some time.

Dean Liu walked to Lin Qi's side and sighed, saying:
"We gave Meng Wu ten bottles of the Water of Life, but it still couldn't stop his death!"

"The level nine Zerg warrior was too ruthless; he completely extinguished his life force."

Lin Qi's expression was complicated; he hadn't expected Meng Wu to actually save him.

Even if he does nothing, no one will blame him.

In the end, he fought back to save himself, even knowing he would die.

They could have retreated after holding out for only a short while, but they persisted for much longer.

He could only sigh at how complex humans are.

"Hoohoo!!"

A red fighter jet landed, and staff carried Meng Wu's body onto it.

Then the cabin door closed, and they went to receive the other fallen warriors.

Lin Qi composed himself and returned to the Black Dragon Base with the others.

Exhausted, Lin Qi parted ways with the others and returned to his room, 206.

"Oh!"

He took off his armor and discovered that his level 8 black-gold armor had already suffered battle damage.

There was also his own black and gold spear, which had become dull.

Level 8 Zerg warriors have their arms as weapons, and their sharpness is no less than that of a level 8 weapon.

"Xiao Chan, order 2000 kilograms of monster flesh and blood, begin cooking!"

After giving some instructions, Lin Qi went into the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, he sat cross-legged in his martial arts uniform and opened War House on his phone.

After a day of killing, he was also very curious about how many merit points he had.

[Name: Golden Spear Demon Lin Qi (Black Dragon Base)]

[Realm: Seventh Realm Blood Transformation]

[Merit Points: 693.6 million]

[Base Ranking: 20→1]

Overall Ranking: 60 → 3

……

Lin Qi's eyes widened as he looked at the nearly 700 million merit points.

"So many merit points?"

Lin Qi was shocked; this was an enormous sum of money.

He secretly calculated that he had hunted down five level-eight calamity beasts in one day, earning approximately 300 million merit points.

The remaining level 7 calamity beasts, along with the low- and mid-level calamity beasts, amount to nearly 1 million merit points.

But how did you get 300 million merit points?

Could it be a Zerg warrior?
He killed a total of six Zerg warriors, each worth 50 merit points, for a total of approximately 300 million merit points.

Lin Qi nodded secretly, planning to ask his master, Shanhe Wang, about it tomorrow.

Then he looked at the rankings.

He is currently ranked number one on the Seven Realms Ranking at the Black Dragon Base.

He ranked 3rd on the overall list, with only Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing ahead of him.

Thinking of this, Lin Qi let out a breath and adjusted his mindset.

A moment later, he went to the living room, received 2000 kilograms of flesh and blood from a level-nine calamity beast, and had Xiao Chan cook it.

Half an hour later, Lin Qi looked at the roasted meat and began to eat it with gusto.

after an hour
Lin Qi let out a breath, feeling that he was full.

He has consumed a huge amount of energy today, having eaten a full 2000 kilograms of flesh and blood from a level-nine calamity beast.

After finishing his meal, he didn't need to rest. He went into the martial arts room, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate to recover from his physical fatigue.

……

The largest conference room at the Heilong base.

Nine figures sat among them, still wearing their battle armor.

He still exuded a strong killing intent.

The purple-armored overlord slowly spoke:

"This massive monster horde is a great victory for our Black Dragon Base, the likes of which have been won in decades!"

"Not only did we not lose a single ninth-realm martial artist, but the number of casualties among martial artists of other realms has also been greatly reduced!"

When the Overlord finished speaking, everyone smiled.

The rugged-looking Crimson King laughed loudly:
"It's strange that the Zerg didn't make a move this time."

The other ninth-realm warriors also showed expressions of confusion.

"Cough cough!"

King Shanhe coughed and then spoke:

"I have something to say!"

"The Zerg did make a move, but their assassination target became Lin Qi!"

"This time they deployed a commander and 11 level-eight Zerg warriors, all to assassinate Lin Qi!"

"Lin Qi almost died!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other ninth-realm martial artists changed drastically.

Shanhewang also projected a set of data.

After reading it, the Sword Emperor exclaimed in surprise, "What a grand gesture!"

The Sword King of Beijiang snorted coldly:
"The Zerg are courting death!"

The other martial artists of the ninth realm also felt anger.

"The Zerg have to be dealt with; they actually dared to attack our genius."

"They must be eradicated completely!"

"To quell external threats, we must first secure our internal stability; we must eliminate the Zerg!"

Several ninth-realm martial artists spoke up one after another.

King Shanhe nodded and said, "At tomorrow's meeting of the Imperial Star Hall, we must mobilize all Ninth Realm warriors to wipe out the Zerg."
