Chapter 506: Chapter 186: Using the old, weak, sick, and disabled as bait for the shadow beast?! (6020 words)
“This is the northern edge of the Soul-breaking Mountain Range,” said the woman on the back of the Dragon Blood Mad Lion. “Twenty more miles north, and we’ll reach the Flashing Firefly Swamp.”
Chen Fan and his party found a forest clearing and sat down.
Three days…
On their journey here, they hadn’t encountered anyone from Nightmare Hall, which made their journey quite smooth.
However, the Soul-breaking Mountain Range was teeming with monsters. Once they entered the central area, monsters of level ten and above would be spotted everywhere.
The four of them, with a group of Guardian Beasts, had killed their way here.
Chen Fan took a sip of water and checked his system panel.
[System Credit]: 3656898
[Host]: Chen Fan
[Level]: Third-Level, Fifth-Stage Sky
[Star Power]: 3799 calories+
[Psychic Power]: 452 Hz+
[Spirit Platform]: 5th grade+
Two days ago, upon discovering the system credits had soared over one million, Chen Fan promptly used the system credit to forge the fifth-grade Spirit Platform, achieving a breakthrough to the Third-Level, Fifth-Stage Sky.
The imminent danger hadn’t fully passed yet.
He decided to further his strength as much as possible.
Because of his rapid breakthrough in such a short time period, Chen Fan was a bit unstable and found it difficult to control the soaring power.
So on the way here, he chose to take the lead, engaging in ceaseless battles.
After fighting for three days, although he did not break through his cultivation realm again, Chen Fan was now able to control the power of the Third-Level, Fifth-Stage Sky with ease.
Unfortunately, the current system credit was still insufficient to activate the Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade and the Void Divine Body.
On the system panel, the Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade was still grayed out.
Chen Fan had learned the Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade from his Senior Brother Bai Tianyu, so to activate this blade, he still needed to spend 220,000 system credits.
And activating the Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade was just the first step, the first blade below would require 380,000 system credits.
If he had enough system credits, Chen Fan would certainly activate the first blade without hesitation.
This blade technique is extremely obscure…
Bai Tianyu had passed this blade technique to him by consuming soul power, essentially handing over his many years of cultivation experience and understanding to Chen Fan.
But even so, after all this time, Chen Fan had only comprehended nine blades of the first move so far.
And the first move of the Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade actually consisted of 81 blades. He not only needed to comprehend these 81 blades, but also had to integrate them into one, only then could he truly master this move.
If there were enough system credits to directly activate the first blade, it would be equivalent to Chen Fan comprehending the first blade directly!
With the first move of the Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade in hand, Chen Fan couldn’t claim that he could take on higher-level enemies, but he should be able to easily kill several Fifth-Grade Realm creatures with one swipe.
But right now, he only had 3.65 million system credits.
It seemed like he would have to wait a few more days.
The worm tide incident in East Sea City was nearing its end.
Although Chen Fan had been raising beasts like mad for the ten days before coming to Demon City, the number of worms outside East Sea City was decreasing, so their system credits had not been rising as fast as before.
Gaining one to two million system credits overnight like before probably wouldn’t happen again.
After a moment of silence, Chen Fan suddenly stood up.
Ye Hao looked puzzledly at him: “Brother Fan, what’s wrong?”
Chen Fan casually stated: “Not feeling well, need to find a place to take a dump.”
Ye Hao also got up: “I’ll go with you, my stomach’s not feeling too good either.”
“Go away!” said Chen Fan. “Do we need a team to take a shit now? I’m going west, you go east!”
Unwillingly, Ye Hao walked in the opposite direction: “Taotao, keep an eye on that woman, don’t let her escape.”
The woman was about to speak…
But Shen Daodao, turning his sword handle, poked at the woman’s head.
“Thud!”
The woman fell to the ground, unconscious.
Shen Daodao said: “Now we don’t need to worry.”
Chu Xuan wordlessly glanced at the woman on the ground.
The woman’s head was full of bumps.
Every time something had to be done, Chen Fan made a habit of knocking her out.
Now even Shen Daodao had learned to do the same.
Chen Fan didn’t actually need to answer nature’s call.
He wanted to get away from the others and use the system credit to break through to Fourth Realm.
Compared to the Fourth Realm, the Third-Level, Fifth-Stage Sky, though seeming to be a minor difference, was a world apart remarkably.
Unless like Chen Fan, who had learned the ultimate blade technique of Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade or held a High Grade Profound Weapon like the Heaven-severing Demon Sword, an ordinary Third-Level, Fifth-Stage Sky creature definitely wouldn’t stand a chance against a Fourth Realm creature.
After reaching the Fourth Realm, Star Power could condense into Star Power Armor.
This one layer of defense could overcome most of the lower-level Battle Armors!
Chen Fan looked back at Chu Xuan and then walked behind a jumble of rugged rocks.
Best to keep a low profile…
These days, he had been quite the shock to his companions.
In just two or three days, he forged three levels of the Spirit Platform, leading Chu Xuan into borderline despondency.
If Chu Xuan saw him breakthrough to the Fourth Realm merely by taking a dump in the wilderness, even Chu Xuan, with his personality, might feel like coughing up blood.
After walking a distance, Chen Fan crossed his legs and sat down, then he closed his eyes.
[Spirit Platform]: 5th Grade+
The Spirit Platform had only five grades.
But the “+” continued to appear after breaking through to the fifth grade.
Clearly, this was the final step from the Third-Level, Fifth-Stage Sky to the Fourth Realm!
Chen Fan took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and clicked on the “+” behind the fifth grade.
[Using 1.5 million system credits to solidify the Star Sea, breakthrough to the Fourth Realm, confirm by clicking Yes!]
The final step required an astonishing 1.5 million system credits.
If he wanted to increase his cultivation level with system credits in the future, it would consume a large amount of resources.
After arriving in Demon City, he would have to continue “beast-raising” with all his might.
