Peak Cultivator's Slice of Life-Chapter 31: Breakthrough Again

BANG!

Not long after, the body of the monster called the Desert General fell in that vast desert.

This time, it had become a corpse. His Life Core had been destroyed so his aura stopped emanating.

It was just a lifeless body but as the body of a False Void Monster, his body was full of all sorts of Dao manifestations.

If Bloodline Cultivators needed his blood and heart, then Dao Cultivators only needed to observe it for inspiration.

Yi Mingxue landed on top of the corpse, looking like she felt nothing strange about the fact that she managed to kill him.

In the end, she killed him in record time. Even her clothes were still in a very neat condition.

Elder Sun and the others still found it hard to believe this scene.

He had to rub his eyes many times.

The atmosphere seemed to calm down with the death of the monster, but it was only for a few moments.

At this moment, the wind suddenly blew very strongly, coming from all directions.

Even for the Cultivators, this wind was too strong. Some of them were almost forced to fly.

"Such a terrifying aura..." Elder Sun’s eyes trembled uncontrollably.

"In the Desert of Death, only one monster has this kind of aura, the Desert King... He must be angry that his subordinates were killed..."

His breathing became very rapid when he said that.

The Desert King, he was ranked 13th out of all the False Void Masters in the Boundless Ancient Realm.

With the number of 3rd Stage False Void Masters of Bloodline Cultivators and Void Monsters being only around 100, being ranked 13th, one could imagine how powerful he was.

Without including the four Dao Cultivators and two Bloodline Cultivators who had further cultivated their talents, he was basically ranked 7th.

He really had almost reached the limit. Even those six peak experts who could normally kill another 3rd Stage False Void Master said it was extremely difficult to kill him.

Not long after, a human-like figure that was twice as tall suddenly appeared in the distant sky, clearly visible even in the darkness and its body was black in color.

He was like a combination of a human and a lizard but looked more like a human, rather it was his skin that resembled a lizard.

Around him, there were black sands floating, sometimes forming into something either a spear or a sword.

His eyes were blood-red in color, possessing a gaze that seemed to be able to pierce through the soul.

Although he was at a distant point, anyone looking at him would feel like he was right in front of them.

This was because of the great distance he seemed to be able to reach in an instant.

"Mingxue, I’d say that this one is a very formidable foe for you. His strength is somewhere between a 3rd Stage False Void Master and a peak expert. Just by relying on his physique, he can definitely fight your Domain of Time. If anything can trouble him, it’s only your teleportation, but he’s still much stronger than you. Plus, since your teleportation power is still weak compared to his, there’s no way you can send your attacks directly into his body. He can prevent your teleportation attack." Yi Mingxue suddenly heard her teacher’s voice through telepathy.

She listened seriously, eager to receive his advice.

"This will be an intense battle, but also an opportunity for you to understand more techniques to advance to the 2nd stage. If you can, hold out as long as possible. There might be a chance for you to break through again in the middle of the fight."

Asher dared to say that she would break through again because she had just fused with the soul fragments of the Progenitor of Destruction and the Progenitor of Life.

They would give her a deep accumulation in both Daos. As that accumulation was honed hard, the possibility of breaking through again in a short period of time was absolutely possible.

"Mm..." The woman nodded at her teacher’s words.

After which, she transferred the Desert General’s corpse to her storage ring.

The corpse disappeared and her body fell down.

Whoosh!

The monster above suddenly lunged towards her.

He was so fast, the sound of his movement alone echoed throughout the Desert of Death, frightening many adventurers.

In an instant, he had actually arrived in front of Yi Mingxue with a hand trying to grab her face.

Yi Mingxue was clearly shocked at his speed as she was somewhat struggling to react.

Without a doubt, it was absolutely impossible for her to dodge.

Even her Domain of Time had been penetrated.

Fortunately, she was able to disappear in an instant with her teleportation.

She disappeared then appeared where the monster was before moving.

"What?"

Although the monster was extremely ferocious, it was still very surprised to see Yi Mingxue teleporting.

His eyes narrowed sharply, knowing that the enemy was very troublesome.

A person who can teleport, if the enemy wants to escape from him, then there is no chance for him to attack.

Only, Yi Mingxue didn’t plan to escape.

She would fight to hone her Dao.

The Desert of Death could be said to be an extremely remote region. People would not come there except to undergo rigorous training.

A few days later, news spread from the Desert of Death that a woman was fighting relentlessly against the Desert King.

This was a fight that shook the entire desert so much that the adventurers and even the desert monsters could only hide.

The case where the Desert King was challenged to a fight by an expert was not a new case.

Sometimes there were Bloodline Cultivators who challenged him or Daoist Cultivators who were still at the False Void Master 2nd Stage.

Most ended up having to flee in front of that Desert King.

However, this woman lasted for days.

What was even more surprising was that she was only a 1st Stage False Void Master.

Even though she was a Dao Cultivator, she at least needed a 2nd Stage cultivation to fight this Desert King.

However, although she was cornered more often than not, she also often gave counterattacks that injured the monster.

It was only when some experts came and observed that they found out that this woman mastered four Daos at once. All four were even famous Daos with terrifying advantages.

The footage of the fight was spread throughout the Boundless Ancient Realm even as the fight was still going on.

This was because there were too many people who wanted to watch.

In a small town for example, a small and skinny old man watched the footage together with a red-haired man.

They were only wearing ordinary robes that even looked shabby, making people think they were two insignificant figures even though they were actually the two strongest figures in the Sacred Silk Realm, the Giant Ancestor and the True Flame Emperor.

They had once been enemies, yet in this new world where their strength was considered weak, they had become good friends adventuring together.

Seeing how Yi Mingxue fought against the Desert King that they considered too powerful, awkward expressions couldn’t help but appear on their faces, especially the True Flame Emperor who had only met her a short while ago.

He thought Yi Mingxue was only a 3rd Stage Great Paragon with her Dao of Destruction, how could she suddenly advance four Daos into the Half-Void Body.

He even wondered if Yi Mingxue was an expert who hid her strength and had been in this world for a long time.

"Hmm, in the end, she is someone chosen by the Night Sky Progenitor to be his disciple. No wonder she’s so impressive," said Giant Ancestor.

Although Yi Mingxue’s advancement somewhat depressed him, his Dao Heart was already too strong to begin with.

This could not make him despair. He was still filled with the fighting spirit to advance, believing that someday, he would also reach the peak in this Boundless Ancient Realm.

For one hundred days and one hundred nights, the battle did not stop at all.

The damage left behind in the Desert of Death became unimaginable.

Many hills were overturned and the ground was cracked in almost all locations.

The remnants of the attack did not disappear, leaving scars on the space and it was all extremely dangerous for weak cultivators.

In fact, no one could watch the fight calmly except for Asher who was watching from inside Yi Mingxue’s Dimensional Artifact.

The monster called the Desert King was so angry.

He had the upper hand, but Yi Mingxue could always easily dodge his attacks with her teleportation.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have the ability to stop her teleportation.

Clang! Clang!

Above the sky of the Desert of Death at night, two shadows collided with each other endlessly, producing explosion after explosion where sometimes there was a rain of black sand.

Over time, Yi Mingxue actually became more uncontrollable where she rarely used her teleportation anymore. She would rather receive the Desert King’s attacks.

This made wounds begin to appear on her usually clean slender body. Even her dress became full of blood marks.

"Come on..." Asher who was watching became somewhat tense.

This was because he was aware that Yi Mingxue was beginning to solve many mysteries, especially in her Dao of Life and Dao of Destruction.

She was actually very close to a breakthrough.

If the two advanced to the 2nd stage, relying on those two Daos, only her raw combat power would be on par with that Desert King.

To compete with an enemy like the Desert King whose strength was between that of a 3rd Stage False Void Master and a peak expert, a Dao Cultivator needed two Dao that reached the 2nd Stage Half Void Body.

Yi Mingxue did not disappoint Asher.

Just as he spoke, each of her eyes suddenly emitted a different light.

Shua!

She moved backwards then there was void energy coming from all directions, flowing into her body rapidly. It increased her forwardness drastically as she moved backwards.

The Desert King’s eyes became extremely cold when he saw the scene.

Shua!

He lunged towards her.

However, if before he was much faster than her, now the difference in their speed was not far.

When Yi Mingxue controlled the space around her, she could even become faster.

And she didn’t continue to retreat either.

When her eyes stopped glowing, she moved forward.

BANG!

Her sword slashed at the monster who parried with a spear made of black sand.

Unfortunately, the spear shattered instantly, and Yi Mingxue’s sword slashed through his abdomen.

Xiu!

Instantly, half of his stomach split open, spurting black blood.

The attack from the Dao of Destruction was one of the most powerful, and it became even more terrifying when aided by the Dao of Life.
