Swallowed Star: Inward Cultivation, Crying Luo Feng

Chapter 272 Heading to the Inner Region
Yes, in the end, very few of these people were even able to self-destruct.

The brothers, Xuan Yan Hou and Jing Yan Hou, along with Mei Hu Hou, repeatedly used illusion techniques.

The remaining members of the demon race squad were completely unable to resist this terrifying illusion.

They could only die miserably in the illusion.

Luo Fan finally saw how disgusting the demon-hunting team's tactics were.

Although this tactic wouldn't be effective for him.

After all, his mental cultivation is now very strong.

Moreover, over this period of time, his willpower and cultivation have also improved under the terrifying mental state.

However, for the demon race, a race that is mostly not good at dealing with the soul.

Faced with this tactic, it would be difficult to even self-destruct.

The reason why Xue Muhou was able to self-destruct was because after breaking free from the illusion in the first layer, he kept self-destructing a trace of divine power in order to stay as clear-headed as possible.

Of course, this is only a temporary solution and not a cure.

That's why he seized a slight opening to try and break through.

Unfortunately, he ultimately failed.

It didn't even cause Luo Fan any loss.

After all, he didn't expect Luo Fan to defeat him instantly.

Even the world ring is still in pretty good condition.

However, Marquis Claw knew the moment he saw Marquis Snowfall die that he and his demons were doomed.

Therefore, he also destroyed some of the more fragile treasures.

As for the remaining ordinary immortal-level demons, they were basically all instantly killed by Luo Fan and Jingyi Hou.

After all, the opponent couldn't even burn divine power under the illusionary attacks of the three illusionists.

Therefore, Luo Fan and Jingyi Hou's attacks could easily kill them instantly.

Soon, everyone packed up their spoils and left.

……

"Tsk tsk tsk, Ice Blade, I'm sure of it now, you must be a genius secretly cultivated by some powerful force."

At this moment, Marquis Jin Yuan was looking at Luo Fan with envy.

The others looked at Luo Fan with a hint of envy in their eyes.

"That was probably some kind of plant life, right?"

"The defensive capabilities of plant life are indeed terrifying."

"This thing is a money-burning machine. It must take a lot of resources to cultivate it to immortality, right?"

At this moment, in everyone's eyes, the Myriad Star Flower is an immortal-level plant life form cultivated by Luo Fan.

Actually, it's pretty much the same.

In some ways, the starflower is even more precious than those immortal plant lives.

After all, this is a terrifying talent technique that can weaken attacks by a thousand times.

Normally, immortal plant life forms are extremely rare.

After all, cultivating an immortal plant life requires a huge amount of resources.

Of course, this mainly depends on the cultivation method and potential of the plant life.

Even for some relatively ordinary ones, it would take the majority of a Marquis's wealth to cultivate an Immortal-level plant life.

Moreover, this is only a normal immortal-level plant life.

If it is a plant life of the level of being granted the title of Marquis or King, it may require tens, hundreds, or even hundreds of billions of Hunyuan units of resources to cultivate it.

However, even so, many people still try to cultivate a plant life.

After all, plant life can be of great help to the strong.

When attacked, the armor will first weaken part of the attack.

Then, the remaining attacks will be absorbed by the plant life.

Generally speaking, plant life forms are very large in size.

Once you reach immortality, even a king-level attack cannot instantly kill an ordinary immortal-level plant life form.

It is because plant life is so large that even after breaking through to immortality, the divine body is also extremely large.

Even for a king-level immortal being, it would take a great deal of divine power and time to wear down an ordinary immortal-level plant life.

Even some powerful beings with smaller divine bodies who have been granted the title of King will eventually discover this.

The divine power I expended in actual combat attacks might not even be as much as what the other side lost.

It should be understood that the energy required for an immortal's actual combat attack is their own divine power.

However, when using secret techniques normally, less divine power is consumed, and it can be recovered quickly.

However, if the battle continues indefinitely, it will eventually become unbearable to use secret techniques at will.

Therefore, it is very difficult to kill plant life.

Of course, if one uses the secret arts of the soul, it is still possible to bypass the life of plants.

However, Luo Fan had ways to deal with it.

Before coming to the outer battlefield, the Lord of Ice Peaks gave him an ordinary soul-type treasure.

After setting up the quest, he obtained another treasure through the quest rewards—the Ghost Mirror.

This Ghost Mirror is a top-tier soul treasure.

However, it is still a very rare multi-functional treasure.

Generally speaking, a treasure only has one ability.

For example, the Soul-Suppressing Bell that the Lord of Ice Peaks gave to Luo Fan can only be used to weaken soul attacks.

By activating the first layer of secret runes, one can weaken soul attacks to one percent of their original strength.

Activating the second layer of secret runes can reduce soul attacks to one-thousandth of their original value.

Luo Fan could barely activate the first layer of secret runes.

Although it may still be impossible to resist the soul attack of a powerful being.

However, at least one can self-destruct before death to avoid being enslaved by one's soul.

Multifunctional treasures are all top-grade treasures.

The Ghost Mirror is the finest among top-tier soul treasures.

The Ghost Mirror can not only guard souls, but also amplify soul attacks!
Moreover, this is a mechanical treasure. In other words, as long as Luo Fan has enough power, he can activate it!
However, the conditions for triggering it are quite demanding.

It takes tens of millions of times the soul power of a peak Realm Lord to activate the first level.

Simply by activating the first level of form, one can weaken the opponent's soul attack to one-thousandth of its original value!

Moreover, it can also grant the user soul power one hundred million times that of a peak world lord.

The second form requires a billion times the soul power of a peak world lord.

Once activated, it can weaken the opponent's soul attack to one three-thousandth of its original value.

Moreover, it can grant the user a hundred billion times the soul power of a peak world lord.

The third form requires a trillion times the soul power of a peak world lord.

Once activated, it can weaken the opponent's soul attack to one ten-thousandth of its original value.

Moreover, it can grant the user a trillion times the soul power of a peak world lord.

This can be described as an extremely rare and exquisite treasure.

However, Luo Fan can only activate the first level at present.

Moreover, what troubled him most was that he hadn't used soul attacks much before.

His self-created secret techniques mainly focused on sword techniques.

After all, this is what he does best.

How he wished that the Ghost Mirror would grant him ordinary material power.

He's now considering whether or not to learn some soul attack techniques.

After all, the Ghost Mirror's power is simply too great.

He was extremely envious of the bonus from a peak Realm Lord's soul power, which was one hundred million times greater.

With such power, one could kill some weaker King-level Immortals simply by unleashing it.

This was before he even used his soul-binding techniques; it was just a matter of sheer force sending bricks flying.

If he had the right secret techniques, he would be confident he could even fight against some invincible kings.

However, he ultimately held back.

He believed that with the system in place, he would never lack such treasures in the future.

Who knows, maybe one day I'll be able to acquire a great, rare weapon.

……

"As usual, this time the distribution will be based on contributions."

Marquis Jingyi took out the unclaimed world ring that he had just used to store the spoils of war.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.

They were very curious about how much they had gained this time.

Soon, everyone finished calculating their spoils.

There are nearly 300 million Chaos Units worth of loot!
All I can say is that this demon race team is incredibly wealthy.

After everyone had finished distributing the goods, Marquis Jingyi looked at everyone and said...

"Through these two battles, we have also come to understand the strength of Ice Blade."

"I think that with Iceblade's strength, joining our team would be a huge boost for us."

"We have absolutely no need to stay in the outer regions of the Shattered Star Domain now."

"I propose we go directly into the inner domain. What do you think?"

The members of the demon-hunting team exchanged glances.

Soon, everyone saw the answer in each other's eyes.

They used to hunt down powerful alien races in the inner region.

There's no reason why I wouldn't dare to go now.

Moreover, this was after gaining a strong teammate like Luo Fan.

Seeing the eager expressions in everyone's eyes, Marquis Jingyi understood.

He looked at Luo Fan, wanting to see Luo Fan's opinion.

He can tell at a glance what his teammates think.

However, we still need to ask Luo Fan.

After all, although Luo Fan is strong, he is still just a new recruit.

If he wants to continue to familiarize himself with the outer realms first, Marquis Jingyi and the others will accompany Luo Fanduo to familiarize himself with the outer realms for a period of time.

Luo Fan looked at everyone's gaze, smiled, and spoke without hesitation.

"Let's go straight to the inner region."

He naturally agreed to Marquis Jingyi's proposal.

In fact, if he weren't worried that the members of the demon-hunting team would think he was being too aggressive, he would have suggested going directly into the core of the Shattered Star Domain to kill the King-level Immortal.

Luo Fan had previously fought two battles and only managed to accumulate less than 10 billion military merits.

At this rate, it's unclear how long it would take to accumulate trillions in military merit.

It would be faster to just kill a peak-level Immortal Lord.

Therefore, he naturally hoped to enter the inner domain or even the core of the Shattered Star Domain as soon as possible.

After all, these battles don't offer much training or experience for them.

He had previously tried to create tasks.

However, the rewards for completing the tasks are not much.

Clearly, as his strength increased, hunting these weaker immortals no longer yielded any rewards.

The most common reward is a battle sword, obtained as a quest reward for defeating Xue Muhou.

This is merely an immortal's battle sword.

At most, it can only sell a few billion units of cosmic currency.

Therefore, Luo Fan is now eager to hunt down powerful alien races.

He wanted to see what kind of rewards he could get by hunting down those powerful individuals.

After Luo Fan agreed, everyone's eyes were filled with joy.

"Now that we've made our decision, let's head towards the inner region!"
