Lu Changsheng still had four Dao Comprehension Pills left on him.
At present, the Dao Comprehension Pills were still of immense use to him; swallowing one would immediately plunge him into a state of sudden enlightenment.
Only after consuming a hundred or even several hundred pills would their efficacy gradually diminish.
Exactly when they lost their effectiveness varied from person to person.
Up to this point, Lu Changsheng had naturally taken nowhere near a hundred.
With that thought in mind, Lu Changsheng swallowed a Dao Comprehension Pill directly.
Once the pill entered his mouth, it took only a short moment before Lu Changsheng gradually sank into sudden enlightenment.
*Hum.*
Lu Changsheng manifested his saber intent.
His saber intent was still at a very rudimentary stage.
Its progress was only around 1%.
With Lu Changsheng's comprehension, evolving saber intent into a domain would normally take several months at best, or several years at worst.
In truth, that was already countless times faster than ordinary martial artists.
Even for a Divine Treasury expert, wanting to evolve a brand-new saber intent into a domain would require several years at the shortest, or well over a decade at the longest.
The reason Divine Treasury practitioners did not prioritize evolving domains was precisely that the speed of domain evolution was far too slow.
If one were to evolve domains bit by bit, they likely would not succeed in evolving many even after exhausting their lifespan.
Expanding their brain domain to a hundred li would be completely out of the question, to say nothing of advancing to the Dao Foundation Realm.
Yet Lu Changsheng was different.
His comprehension was simply too terrifying.
Relying solely on himself, he could effortlessly grasp a martial conception.
Then, by consuming a Dao Comprehension Pill, he could pour all his efforts into evolving that martial conception into a domain.
1%, 10%, 20%, 30%...
Lu Changsheng frantically comprehended his saber intent at an astonishing rate of roughly 10% every two-hour shichen.
After five shichen, his saber intent had already advanced to 50%.
However, a single Dao Comprehension Pill could only sustain its effects for five shichen at most.
Thus, Lu Changsheng took another Dao Comprehension Pill.
His saber intent remained manifested, churning and transforming at every passing moment.
Another five shichen went by.
*Boom!*
At last, the saber intent evolved into the Saber Domain!
*Whoosh.*
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.
"It worked! My sixth domain—the Saber Domain!"
Lu Changsheng felt a trace of marvel.
Using merely two Dao Comprehension Pills and ten shichen—equivalent to roughly a single day—he had comprehended saber intent and evolved it into the Saber Domain!
Such was the terrifying nature of his comprehension.
At this pace, Lu Changsheng believed that virtually no one in the Divine Treasury Realm could rival his comprehension.
"In theory, as long as the Dao Comprehension Pills don't lose their efficacy, I only need to take two pills and spend a single day to comprehend a domain!"
"A hundred domains would take merely a hundred days!"
A hundred days was just over three months.
Even rounding it up to four months, Lu Changsheng could theoretically comprehend a hundred brand-new domains.
This was simply staggering!
Naturally, matters were not quite that straightforward.
If the Dao Comprehension Pills lost their effectiveness, Lu Changsheng's efficiency in comprehending domains would plummet drastically.
Moreover, comprehending a domain did not mean it could materialize from illusory into tangible reality.
For a domain to materialize, it had to reach perfection.
Relying on Dao Comprehension Pills to bring a domain to perfection would require at least twelve pills.
"If I use Dao Comprehension Pills to bring domains to perfection, that would be far too wasteful."
"Every person actually has a fixed threshold of Dao Comprehension Pills they can consume. Once past that limit, the pills become useless."
"Good steel should be used on the blade's edge. Dao Comprehension Pills should be used to evolve domains, not squandered on perfecting them."
"To bring a domain to perfection, there is another, most common method that every Divine Treasury practitioner uses: nurturing it in the brain domain!"
With a thought, Lu Changsheng immediately transferred the newly evolved Saber Domain into his brain domain.
This time, the brain domain showed no reaction whatsoever.
Unlike the previous instances when domains were placed inside, there was no mad expansion.
Lu Changsheng naturally understood why.
The Saber Domain had not reached perfection.
To expand the brain domain, one had to introduce perfected domains or rely on certain unique secret methods.
Perfected domains also required no nurturing; they could directly manifest immense power in reality through the brain domain.
In contrast, domains that had not reached perfection needed to be slowly nurtured by the brain domain.
As for the nurturing speed, that also varied by individual.
Lu Changsheng gauged it roughly.
Within his brain domain, Lu Changsheng was virtually omniscient.
"Nurturing the Saber Domain to the perfection realm takes at least a month?"
Lu Changsheng's heart sank slightly.
In truth, bringing a brand-new domain to perfection in just one month was already remarkably fast.
Many martial artists required several months.
Of course, if one simultaneously comprehended it on their own while nurturing it, that would accelerate the progress of the domain.
"One month to nurture a domain to perfection. Furthermore, the brain domain only allows nurturing one domain at a time."
"Theoretically, if I evolve a hundred domains, relying solely on the brain domain to nurture them to perfection would take over eight years."
This duration was not considered long.
In fact, it was quite short.
If one could truly comprehend domains month after month and expand the brain domain to a hundred li in a mere eight years—allowing them to refine a Boundary Transforming Stone and forge their Dao Foundation—that would be godly speed!
However, Lu Changsheng was not satisfied.
Over eight years was still too long.
Fortunately, Lu Changsheng had heard that once one refined a Boundary Suppressing Stone, their brain domain would become far more stable, which would even increase the efficiency of nurturing domains.
Presumably, with a Boundary Suppressing Stone, it would no longer take a whole month to nurture a domain.
"I have two Dao Comprehension Pills left. Time to comprehend another domain."
"For the seventh domain, I choose sword intent!"
Saber intent, sword intent, and fist intent were likely the domains most commonly comprehended among martial artists.
After all, there were countless saber, sword, and fist techniques.
Moreover, ever since their early days of fighting and slaughter, martial artists were essentially inseparable from the saber, the sword, and the fist.
Even Lu Changsheng still fought using a saber.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed.
Lu Changsheng smoothly comprehended sword intent and evolved the Sword Domain as well.
"Phew..."
Lu Changsheng exhaled a long breath.
With his Dao Comprehension Pills depleted, he could no longer continue his cultivation in this manner.
Thus, Lu Changsheng brought up his attribute panel.
Host: Lu Changsheng
Comprehension: 4,570 (Praised in All Directions)
Mind Sword Mantra Formula: 1% progress (Jade-Colored Mind Sword)
Saber Domain: (Nurturing)
Sword Domain: 1% (Progress)
Lu Changsheng also possessed the Tempest Domain, the Ocean Wave Domain, and others.
However, Lu Changsheng had collapsed and hidden those domains on his attribute panel so they were no longer displayed.
If needed, they would naturally appear.
After all, those domains were already perfected and could no longer be advanced.
"Now I still need to exchange for Dao Comprehension Pills, and quite a large amount at that..."
Lu Changsheng was currently short on Dao Comprehension Pills.
Yet he was not in a hurry.
After all, his Sword Domain was still queued up, waiting to enter the brain domain for nurturing.
One domain required a month of nurturing.
Two domains required two months.
In other words, Lu Changsheng had two months to earn contribution points and redeem them for Dao Comprehension Pills.
Lu Changsheng left the Technique Transmission Hall.
After a moment's thought, he headed to the Tianlin Squad's pavilion.
"Captain," Lu Changsheng called out.
Liu Yuan was inside the pavilion.
Not only Liu Yuan, but the other members of the Tianlin Squad were all present as well.
"It's Senior Brother Lu."
"It should be True Disciple Lu now!"
"I really didn't expect Senior Brother Lu to become a true disciple already..."
The members of the Tianlin Squad greeted Lu Changsheng one by one.
Lu Changsheng responded in kind.
The group chatted for a while, reminiscing.
Yet, even though Lu Changsheng treated the members of the Tianlin Squad just as he always had, they could no longer treat him with the same casual familiarity as before.
After all, Lu Changsheng was now a true disciple!
A massive, insurmountable chasm now lay between them in terms of identity, status, and strength.
Even though he was still the same person, things could no longer be as uninhibited as in the past.
"Captain, I've come to say goodbye to everyone."
"I have advanced to the Divine Treasury Realm and become a true disciple. When I take on missions, I will no longer be able to operate in the first tier of the Ancient Region; I must head to the second tier."
"And the second tier is too dangerous for you all," Lu Changsheng stated directly.
Liu Yuan opened his mouth, but in the end, said nothing.
He had also realized this.
The current Tianlin Squad could no longer keep up with Lu Changsheng's footsteps.
They could not expect Lu Changsheng to halt his cultivation just to stay in the first tier of the Ancient Region.
After all, if Lu Changsheng were to bully the weak and act against Divine Gang Realm disciples in the first tier, the powerful experts backing those disciples would have a perfectly valid justification to move against him.
Therefore, if Lu Changsheng wanted to earn contribution points, he could only go to the second tier of the Ancient Region.
"Senior Brother Lu, we understand," Liu Yuan nodded.
"I hope that one day I will see you all in the second tier. Perhaps then, the Tianlin Squad will make its appearance there as well!"
Lu Changsheng smiled and stood up, taking a deep look at Liu Yuan and the others before turning and departing.
After leaving the Tianlin Squad's pavilion, Lu Changsheng arrived at the Mission Hall.
This was actually Lu Changsheng's first time visiting the Ancient Region Heavenly Sect's Mission Hall.
Previously, whenever he earned contribution points, he had operated together with the Tianlin Squad. Liu Yuan would accept or browse missions, so Lu Changsheng had never needed to search for tasks in the Mission Hall himself.
Now that he had advanced to true disciple, he had to venture into the second tier alone.
Naturally, he had to review the missions personally.
"Missions regarding the second tier..."
Lu Changsheng swept his gaze across the listings.
There really were not many missions for the second tier.
However, every single one offered extremely handsome rewards in contribution points.
Furthermore, the second-tier missions featured new tasks such as capturing spirit beasts or slaying demons.
After all, certain demons served as excellent ingredients for pill refinement.
Alternatively, their demon bloodlines could provide certain benefits to the sect.
Spirit beasts went without saying; their entire bodies were treasures.
Even if martial artists had no use for a captured spirit beast, they could sell it to Immortal Masters or Dao Lords.
No spirit beast ever lacked buyers; they were all hot commodities.
However, spirit beasts were far fewer in number than demons, and encountering one was by no means guaranteed.
Lu Changsheng was in no rush to accept a mission.
He was here to see what items were valuable and yielded generous rewards.
That way, once he arrived in the second tier, he would not be wandering blindly without knowing what to look for.
"Wait, this mission..."
"Capture the spirit beast Five Elements Beast; permanently valid."
"Single-attribute Five Elements Beast: ten thousand contribution points each. If an entire set of all five elemental attributes is gathered at once, one will immediately receive one hundred thousand contribution points."
Lu Changsheng's eyes lit up.
One hundred thousand contribution points!
He had some knowledge of the Five Elements Beast.
The Five Elements Beasts comprised the Five Elements Metal Beast, Wood Beast, Water Beast, Fire Beast, and Earth Beast.
These beasts were not exceptionally powerful—roughly on par with an ordinary Divine Treasury practitioner with a brain domain spanning about two li, easily countered by a single materialized domain.
However, their elemental attributes were exceedingly potent, enabling them to execute elemental escape techniques.
With the slightest lapse in vigilance, a Five Elements Beast would slip away using an escape technique, making them extraordinarily difficult to capture.
Moreover, when dealing with a Five Elements Beast, one could not use a matching domain.
For instance, if Lu Changsheng tried to capture a Five Elements Water Beast using his Ocean Wave Domain, he would completely fail; the water beast could directly use his Ocean Wave Domain to flee.
It was best to employ a domain unrelated to the five elements, or one that directly suppressed them.
As long as the domain enveloped and trapped the beast, its escape technique could not be executed.
A single Five Elements Beast yielded ten thousand contribution points.
A complete set of all five elements granted one hundred thousand contribution points.
This reward was exceptionally generous.
If Lu Changsheng could capture all five beasts of the five elements, he would obtain one hundred thousand contribution points—equivalent to twenty Dao Comprehension Pills.
That would be enough for him to evolve ten brand-new domains.
However, Lu Changsheng did not act rashly. Instead, he carefully looked into the difficulties of this mission.
A mere escape technique certainly did not justify such a massive bounty.
There had to be other reasons.
Sure enough, an explanation was provided below.
Recently, Five Elements Beasts had appeared near Boundary Stele Mountain in the second tier of the Ancient Region.
The vicinity of Boundary Stele Mountain was a chaotic mix of dragons and snakes, with demons frequently haunting the area.
With the slightest carelessness, one would end up pursued and hunted down by demons.
Thus, it was perilous.
The real difficulty of the mission lay in how to avoid detection by demons.
After all, unless one could sweep across Boundary Stele Mountain with overwhelming force, venturing there was hazardous, posing risks even to Divine Treasury experts and Immortal Masters.
Yet Lu Changsheng's heart stirred.
This mission might just be tailor-made for him.
When it came to concealment, who could surpass his Perception Domain?
Once the Perception Domain was brought to perfection and materialized, it gained the ability to conceal and restrain one's presence.
As long as he unleashed the Perception Domain, so long as no one forcibly intruded into it, outsiders would have no way of knowing what was inside.
Virtually none of Lu Changsheng's aura would leak out.
With the Perception Domain, Lu Changsheng might well bypass the perilous demons or formidable spirit beasts around Boundary Stele Mountain and head straight for the Five Elements Beasts.
He could even approach them silently without alerting them.
By the time they noticed him, Lu Changsheng would have already deployed his domain to suppress them.
"Alright, I'll take the Five Elements Beast mission."
Lu Changsheng directly approached the Mission Hall Elder and stated his request.
"You want to accept the Five Elements Beast mission?"
"Yes."
The Elder naturally recognized Lu Changsheng.
"Are you aware of the dangers of Boundary Stele Mountain? For a newly advanced Divine Treasury practitioner like you, going there is far too perilous," the Elder kindly cautioned.
"This disciple has some degree of confidence."
Seeing that Lu Changsheng insisted, the Elder naturally did not press further.
He handed Lu Changsheng a map directly.
It was a map of Boundary Stele Mountain.
Marked upon it were the approximate areas where the Five Elements Beasts had previously appeared.
Only by accepting the mission could one be granted this map of Boundary Stele Mountain.
"Remember, flee immediately if you encounter danger."
"No amount of contribution points or powerful treasures can compare to your own life."
"Thank you, Elder. This disciple will keep that in mind!"
Lu Changsheng stowed the map away and walked straight out.
"The Five Elements Beasts are massive in size. I can't possibly capture them and carry them back to the sect on my shoulders."
"Therefore, I still need some spatial treasures."
After a moment's deliberation, Lu Changsheng headed to the Exchange Hall.
As long as one had contribution points, numerous treasures could be exchanged here.
"I need a spatial treasure, preferably one capable of holding living creatures," Lu Changsheng stated simply.
"Spatial bags exclusively crafted for martial artists—an essential for cultivation!"
"They can be opened using mind power, requiring no divine sense."
"A superior-grade spatial bag has ample space and can hold anything."
The Elder produced several spatial bags.
"How many contribution points?"
"An inferior-grade spatial bag is three thousand contribution points. A superior-grade spatial bag is ten thousand contribution points," the Elder replied.
Lu Changsheng considered it. He currently had only ten thousand contribution points left.
That was enough to exchange for two Dao Comprehension Pills.
However, to do a good job, one had to first sharpen their tools.
A superior-grade spatial bag would have no trouble storing five Five Elements Beasts.
An inferior-grade spatial bag would be rather tight.
Without further hesitation, Lu Changsheng directly exchanged for a superior-grade spatial bag.
Soon, Lu Changsheng received the superior-grade spatial bag.
He could not tell what material it was crafted from, but it felt cool to the touch.
Lu Changsheng wrapped his mind power around the spatial bag.
Inside was pitch-black, containing a vast expanse of space, and it could indeed accommodate living creatures, making it exceptionally convenient.
Supposedly, this was specially tailored for martial artists and refined by immortal path cultivators.
It had to be said that in the realms of artifact crafting and pill refinement, immortal path cultivators possessed a unique and natural advantage.
With the spatial bag, undertaking missions outside would be vastly more convenient.
"No time to lose; I'll head to Boundary Stele Mountain immediately."
Lu Changsheng set off.
He notified no one.
Just like that, he quietly left the Ancient Region Heavenly Sect and departed the first tier of the Ancient Region.
When Lu Changsheng stepped into the second tier, he did not perceive any obvious differences.
It seemed identical to the first tier.
Yet upon careful consideration, the reason was apparent.
The so-called first tier and second tier were merely divided based on the territorial domains of demonic activity.
It did not mean there was any difference in the physical environment.
The terrain remained entirely the same.
What differed were the areas where demons, spirit beasts, and martial artists operated.
Upon reaching the second tier, Lu Changsheng became exceedingly cautious.
Because he was unfamiliar with this region, the moment he arrived, he released his Perception Domain.
*Hum.*
The Perception Domain was unleashed, materializing from illusory into real.
A layer of white radiance enveloped Lu Changsheng.
Promptly, Lu Changsheng shrank the coverage of the Perception Domain, drawing it close against the surface of his body.
This way, his Perception Domain was hardly conspicuous.
Furthermore, while inside the Perception Domain, outside demons, spirit beasts, and martial artists could not sense him at all.
As for whether an Immortal Master deliberately utilizing divine sense could detect it, Lu Changsheng was not entirely certain.
Perhaps they could, given the unique nature of divine sense.
Yet even if they could sense the domain itself, they would be unable to discern what was happening inside.
They would only know a domain was present.
As for other spirit beasts and demons, they could only discover it with their eyes.
After all, once the Perception Domain materialized into reality, it was no longer intangible, but a concrete existence.
That layer of white light was the Perception Domain.
However, by shrinking its area close to his body, the white light did not appear overly abrupt.
Unless one looked closely from nearby, it was genuinely difficult to notice.
"That should do. With the Perception Domain concealing my aura, unless my luck is terribly foul, I shouldn't be discovered."
Lu Changsheng began to make his way cautiously toward Boundary Stele Mountain.
Boundary Stele Mountain was quite far away.
Lu Changsheng traveled carefully for three full days before finally reaching Boundary Stele Mountain.
The second tier was noticeably much larger than the first tier.
After all, how could the activity range of demons be small?
During those three days, Lu Changsheng had spotted demons.
Yet whenever he saw one, he hid far away.
With his Perception Domain active, the demons genuinely failed to detect him.
Lu Changsheng also saw spirit beasts and martial artists.
Yet so long as he kept his distance, they were equally unable to discover him.
This gradually put Lu Changsheng's mind at ease.
Although his Perception Domain was not meant for combat and served as an auxiliary domain, its practicality was outstanding and its effects undeniable.
"Here it is—Boundary Stele Mountain!"
Lu Changsheng arrived at Boundary Stele Mountain.
The moment he arrived, he sensed numerous demonic auras.
Some of them were exceedingly terrifying.
Lu Changsheng skirted far around those demons and began searching according to the Five Elements Beasts' activity zones on the map.
The beasts' activity area was not fixed.
It was only a rough range.
Therefore, finding a Five Elements Beast still depended entirely on Lu Changsheng himself.
Lu Changsheng spent entire days wandering through Boundary Stele Mountain.
One day, two days, three days...
Another three days passed, and Lu Changsheng found nothing.
Six days had elapsed since he left the Ancient Region Heavenly Sect, yet he had still not captured a single Five Elements Beast.
In truth, were it not for the demons, Lu Changsheng would not need to go through such trouble.
A single sweep of his Perception Domain would have familiarized him with every corner of Boundary Stele Mountain.
However, Lu Changsheng dared not let his Perception Domain blanket the mountain.
Just as Immortal Masters dared not recklessly sweep their divine sense across all of Boundary Stele Mountain, the reasoning was the same: they were all wary of the demons lurking within.
If he alerted the demons, capturing a Five Elements Beast would be out of the question—even survival would be hard to guarantee.
Boundary Stele Mountain was vast.
Wandering like this, he might not finish searching it even after several months.
Nonetheless, Lu Changsheng's luck was not utterly terrible.
Three days later, Lu Changsheng spotted a Five Elements Beast.
In the distance, he saw a spirit beast radiating raging, blazing flames from its entire body.
Seen from afar, it was quite striking.
"Is that a Five Elements Fire Beast?"
"Good luck. I actually ran into a fire beast."
"The five elements mutually generate and overcome one another; water counters fire. Both my Waterfall Domain and Ocean Wave Domain belong to the water element, perfectly countering this Five Elements Fire Beast."
With that, Lu Changsheng stealthily crept toward the fire beast.
The Five Elements Fire Beast appeared to be sleeping.
It lay sprawled on the ground, snoring away.
The flames on its body burned ceaselessly.
Lu Changsheng's Perception Domain completely masked his presence.
The Five Elements Fire Beast had no way of noticing him.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Gradually, Lu Changsheng closed within ten zhang of the fire beast.
Yet the moment he entered that ten-zhang radius, Lu Changsheng felt the air turn swelteringly hot, as though the very air was saturated with flames.
*Swish.*
In the next instant, the Five Elements Fire Beast snapped its eyes open.
"Not good, it's been awakened."
Lu Changsheng felt a jolt of surprise.
This fire beast was truly cautious.
Even while sleeping, it blanketed a ten-zhang area with fire.
Moreover, the flames were so subtle that even Lu Changsheng had failed to notice them beforehand, accidentally startling the beast.
Upon waking, the fire beast's first reaction was not rage.
It was to flee!
Its very first instinct was to execute a fire escape technique and run.
This was the innate nature of the Five Elements Beast.
*Rumble!*
Yet in the next moment, the surroundings seemed to transform into a vast sea.
The faint sound of surging ocean waves echoed.
At the same time, the Five Elements Fire Beast watched as a colossal, hundred-zhang wave swept directly toward it.
Water overcame fire!
The thing the fire beast despised most was water.
Thus, almost by instinct, the fire beast vanished instantly from within the flames.
*Bang!*
Yet in the next moment, its body slammed into an invisible force.
The Ocean Wave Domain!
This was the power of the Ocean Wave Domain.
Attempting to execute a fire escape within the Ocean Wave Domain was utterly futile.
Once enveloped by a Divine Treasury expert's domain, the Five Elements Beast was trapped like a turtle in a jar.
Lu Changsheng watched with keen interest, refraining from attacking immediately.
He was curious about the Five Elements Beast and wanted to see what methods it possessed.
*Roar...*
The Five Elements Fire Beast let out an enraged roar.
It spewed a massive burst of flame directly from its mouth.
The fire rapidly scorched the void, seeming to twist the very space around it.
Lu Changsheng distinctly felt his Ocean Wave Domain being heavily depleted, as if a hole were about to be burned through it.
If a gap were truly breached, the fire beast might well slip through it using its fire escape.
"Surge!"
Lu Changsheng immediately reinforced the Ocean Wave Domain.
A monstrous wave crashed forward, instantly submerging the Five Elements Fire Beast.
"Is that all?"
Lu Changsheng was quite underwhelmed.
He could feel the fire beast thrashing violently.
Yet it was entirely futile.
Within his Ocean Wave Domain, the Five Elements Fire Beast was completely at his mercy.
It was too weak.
Lu Changsheng had not even needed to deploy any other techniques; merely unleashing a single domain was enough to suppress it.
"No, perhaps it isn't that the Five Elements Beast is weak, but that the Divine Treasury Realm itself is immensely powerful!"
"Once a martial artist reaches the Divine Treasury Realm, they undergo a complete metamorphosis, and martial arts gradually reveals its formidable might..."
A gleam flashed across Lu Changsheng's eyes.
The martial path was fundamentally a path of slaughter and combat.
Below the Divine Treasury Realm, martial arts had always been suppressed.
Yet upon reaching the Divine Treasury, its potential was gradually unlocked, and combat strength soared instantly, matching both demons and Immortal Masters without falling short.
Conversely, spirit beasts were noticeably weaker than demons, Immortal Masters, and Divine Treasury practitioners.
Before long, the Five Elements Fire Beast was beaten unconscious by Lu Changsheng's Ocean Wave Domain.
Lu Changsheng brought out his spatial bag.
"Take!"
In a flash, the Five Elements Fire Beast was drawn into the spatial bag.
"Ten thousand contribution points secured!"
Lu Changsheng was thoroughly pleased.
Ten thousand contribution points in just six days was actually quite a good haul.
Moreover, this was merely the beginning.
His true goal was to gather a complete set of five beasts across all five elements!
"Since a fire beast appeared here, it means there might be other Five Elements Beasts nearby."
Lu Changsheng was well aware that Five Elements Beasts were gregarious creatures.
Although each maintained its own territory, they were usually not too far apart.
Thus, Lu Changsheng retracted his Ocean Wave Domain and continued searching the surrounding area.
Just one day later, Lu Changsheng located a second beast.
"Is this... a Five Elements Metal Beast?"
Lu Changsheng's eyes gleamed.
The metal beast was said to possess the highest combat strength among the Five Elements Beasts.
Lu Changsheng stealthily crept closer once more.
This time, however, before he could even reach ten zhang—
While still a hundred zhang away, the Five Elements Metal Beast seemed to catch sight of the faint white radiance emitted by his Perception Domain.
*Hum.*
The metal beast immediately prepared to execute a gold escape technique to flee.
At such a distance, Lu Changsheng did not even have time to unleash his domain.
"Mind Sword, strike!"
In the next instant, Lu Changsheng unleashed his Mind Sword for the first time.
*Swoosh.*
The Mind Sword being nurtured inside his brain domain trembled slightly, splitting off a sword of the mind that vanished without a trace.
A flash of jade radiance flickered through the air, sinking into the Five Elements Metal Beast's body in the blink of an eye.
Chapter 166
