Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 591 - 329: Trial Ends_3

In the air behind the fused demon, two Void Rings opened, and two dark beams shot out from the Void Rings, hitting the demon's wings.

The vulture heads continued their attack, and the beams from the Void Rings kept damaging their own wings.

Lu Yu didn't give them much time to react either. The power on the Demon-Breaking Saber, dragging behind him, had gathered to its limit, and Qi Blood began to overflow around his body.

Boom! Over three million points of Spiritual Power's attack power instantly shattered the bull's head.

The bull's expression froze at the moment it wanted to bite Lu Yu.

Whoosh~ The Celestial Falling Bright Flame spread across the sky, turning the shattered demon's flesh and blood into ashes, and the vulture heads on both shoulders howled as they were scorched by the high temperatures.

Lu Yu's figure fell from the sky; his inner Spiritual Power and Qi Blood were exhausted in this strike, unable to maintain his flying state.

The howling vulture heads, seeing Lu Yu fall, flapped their wings, releasing countless feathers, which shot at Lu Yu as Wei Long and Ye Qingzhou watched in horror.

Clang clang clang~ However, when countless feathers hit Lu Yu, they produced a metallic sound.

The demon's feathers collided with Lu Yu's skin, sparking, but couldn't break through the defense.

Seeing this, Wei Long and Ye Qingzhou widened their eyes in disbelief.

It was normal for the feathers not to cut through the Spiritual Armor Lu Yu was wearing, but they clearly saw the feathers graze Lu Yu's unprotected face, leaving merely a spark, which shocked them.

Even now, with Lu Yu's Spiritual Power and Qi Blood exhausted, the fused demon couldn't hope to harm him with such weak attacks.

As Lu Yu rapidly fell to the ground, with a bang, the ground behind him erupted in concentric clouds of dust, and Lu Yu's figure quickly shot back up.

In a brief moment of falling, he had already absorbed enough Spiritual Qi from the Eye of the Sea, fully restoring his formidable combat strength.

Whoosh~ A gust of wind blew by, and Wei Long squinted his eyes instinctively, seeing the fallen Lu Yu suddenly appear in front of him, feeling somewhat numb inside, with nothing much to be startled about anymore.

No matter how many extraordinary feats Lu Yu displayed, he estimated he wouldn't be surprised anymore. What was completely impossible for them seemed rather commonplace for Lu Yu.

The flesh on the fused demon's neck kept writhing, trying to grow a new head.

But the vulture heads on both shoulders had their own ideas; the flesh at the base of their necks squirmed, moving the necks to the center.

Soon, a demon with two long-necked vulture heads appeared before everyone.

The vulture heads were shocked to see Lu Yu reappear in front of them and hurriedly vibrated their wings to distance themselves from Lu Yu.

However, the wings had been mostly destroyed by their own attacks in the previous battle, significantly reducing their flying speed, making escape impossible.

In their frantic escape, they were chased by Lu Yu, intercepted by Wei Long, and their other leg was cut off by Ye Qingzhou in the opportunity.

Soon, the vulture heads realized that this massive body was a burden, consuming a great deal of Demonic Qi to recover from severe injuries and slowing down their escape speed.

So, they gave up, forcibly drawing away most of the Demonic Qi within the fused demon's body, extracting themselves, leaving the bull-headed demon's body behind, and quickly fleeing into the distance.

"Don't think about running!" Ye Qingzhou shouted.

The two-headed vulture, focused on fleeing, didn't notice what lay ahead and crashed into a Void Ring. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Buzz~ The heads of the two-headed vulture were cut off and transported away; as they fell from the sky, both heads wore confused expressions, wondering why the world suddenly flipped and why they couldn't fly anymore.

The form of the two-headed vulture, losing control of its heads, fell into a suspended state, knowing only to flap its wings and fly aimlessly, not knowing what to do.

The flesh at the neck stumps quickly wriggled, and soon, two featherless heads grew back.

Just as the two-headed vulture regained its intelligence and intended to act, it suddenly felt its sight overshadowed, followed by a sharp pain in its forehead, feeling as if it was pierced by a nail, then lost all strength, its body uncontrollably plummeting.

Wei Long glanced at Ye Qingzhou, surprised to see the Demon-Suppressing Cone in his hand, rather than in Qiu Ruohua's.

However, considering that he was in the Core Formation Realm, he was naturally more likely to deliver the fatal blow to the demon, it was understandable.

After exchanging glances, Wei Long and Ye Qingzhou chased after the falling two-headed vulture; both had simultaneously embedded their teams' Demon-Suppressing Cone into the two-headed vulture's forehead.

If the two-headed vulture died, then to whom would this "head" be attributed?

While the two pursued the falling two-headed vulture, Lu Yu had already begun cleaning up the battlefield.

After the two-headed vulture separated, less than a tenth of the Demonic Qi was left in the bull-headed demon, which Lu Yu easily dealt with.

He was now searching for the two severed legs of the bull-headed demon, as not dealing with them might produce bizarre creatures like the five-headed snake.

When Lu Yu found the first leg, it had already begun to mutate, sprouting limbs and gaining some mobility.

Upon sensing his arrival, it eagerly grew a bloodthirsty maw and rushed towards him, attempting to devour him.

It seems the severed parts of a demon's body become independent demons but do not inherit the original body's memories.

If it had inherited the bull-headed demon's memories, its reaction on seeing Lu Yu wouldn't be like encountering food.

After all, Lu Yu was the one who had forced the two-headed vulture to abandon part of its body just to escape.

Lu Yu easily disabled its mobility and purified it with the Demon-Breaking Saber.

Upon finding the second severed thigh, this leg was cut off earlier without signs of individualization, so Lu Yu simply pierced it with the Demon-Breaking Saber, and that was it.

Although there were no signs of individualization, when Lu Yu approached, tendrils of varying thickness sprouted from the flesh of the leg, attempting to devour the flesh on Lu Yu's body.

This is what they call an unyielding nature.

No matter the circumstances, devouring the flesh and blood of living creatures is a demon's instinct; only powerful demons can restrain this instinct and not be blindly driven by it.

Lu Yu used the Celestial Falling Bright Flame to burn the battlefield to avoid any pieces of the demon causing trouble.

While burning, he occasionally heard the system notification sound in his ear.

[Killed unconscious Core Formation Realm demon shard, gained 2000 experience points, extra 2000 experience points]

[Killed unconscious Core Formation Realm demon shard, gained 1600 experience points, extra 2000 experience points]

[Killed vaguely conscious Core Formation Realm demon shard, gained 12000 experience points, extra 12000 experience points]

...

Merely by cleaning the battlefield, Lu Yu gained nearly 100,000 experience points.

Adding the kill of the five-headed snake, the single-headed vulture duplicates, the two-legged duplicates, the bull-headed demon... all sorts of bits and pieces, Lu Yu roughly calculated a total haul of about 8 million experience points from a single battle.

This had to be reduced by the prestige bonus, leaving him with actual gains of only around 4 million.

Four million experience points isn't much, given the high difficulty of dealing with Core Formation Realm demons.

It's still easier to farm lower-level demons.

Lu Yu rubbed his shoulder and walked towards where the others were.

The battle was over, and Wei Long had already regrouped with the others. He looked at the Demon-Suppressing Cone in his hand, somewhat conflicted, wondering if this counted as passing the trial's passage.

With Qingpeng Squad and Blacksnake Squad's Demon-Suppressing Cone, having slain the same Core Formation Realm demon, to whom should this "head" belong?

Only when the examiner arrived would they know who the kill belonged to. Now, there was a subtle tension in the atmosphere as the members of Qingpeng Squad and Blacksnake Squad stood on opposite sides, feeling almost irreconcilable.

On one hand, it was Qiu Ruohua, with grievances and anger over the previous incidents, and on the other hand, was the competition over the "head" between the two teams.

Whichever team the examiner judged the "head" to belong to, the other team would face the risk of failing the trial.

When Lu Yu appeared in everyone's sight, the atmosphere subtly shifted, and the members of Blacksnake Squad, their momentum significantly weakened.

After all, they had witnessed Lu Yu possess strength comparable to a Martial Cultivator in the Core Formation Realm.

Not just an ordinary Core Formation Realm, but one with Divine Soldiers.

This greatly refreshed everyone's understanding of peak Qi Sea Realm strength.

So, seeing Lu Yu, the Blacksnake Squad members felt somewhat lacking in confidence, showing signs of timidity.

After sending a message to the examiner, it didn't take long before two examiners arrived with the Firewolf Squad.

At this moment, the three squads reassembled, and the trial assessment was announced to be concluded, awaiting the examiners to announce the results.
