Chapter 872: Tianyuan Mirror’s Ascension

The entire Holy Realm Dwellers’ Mansion was like a stove akin to the legendary Mountain of Flames. Looking at it, it was red, like being in a fiery world.

As Ye Xiwen went inside, he could feel that the temperature got higher. He had to activate the aura barrier to wrap himself in it. Otherwise, he would still feel discomfort despite his Tyrant Body.

The world here seemed to be in the oven, scorching, and red. However, even in such a hot place, life was not extinct. On the contrary, it could be regarded as vibrant.

Mountains, peaks, lush forest, and rushing water crisscrossing; it was a strange world.

“Ye Xiwen, it is optimum to cultivate the Wood Burning Saber Technique here. It will be like the fish in water [1]!” said Ye Mo.

“Well, this is a good place!” said Ye Xiwen.

However, his primary thoughts were not here. He remembered that there were some treasures marked on the map. This map was not secret either. There should be many people rushing to those places. Ye Xiwen was already late. He wouldn’t be able to gain anything if he delayed further.

Ye Xiwen had just entered the Holy Realm Dwellers’ Mansion not long before he encountered a surprise attack. Although the temperature here was ridiculously high, there were still beasts who were surviving tenaciously.

In his line of sight, there was a red cloud approaching. It came from a distance like a curtain. Ye Xiwen squinted his eyes. It turned out to be endless scarlet giant mosquitoes, each of which had the size of a fist. The blood-colored long sting on the head could easily pierce the aura barrier of a warrior.

This creature was marked on the map, labeled as dangerous.

These mosquitoes should be at the Sage Realm level. The young one was just Legendary. However, its overwhelming number definitely would put people into despair.

Even if a Transcendent Realm Seventh Level expert was stuck in it, only death awaits. However, Ye Xiwen was unfazed. As long as he didn’t completely get stuck in these scarlet giant mosquitoes, it didn’t matter. The average person couldn’t escape the encirclement, but Ye Xiwen could do it.

In a moment, the scarlet giant mosquitoes that occupied the sky approached Ye Xiwen. The loud buzzing sound obscured all the other sounds in the world as if there was only this sound in this world.

The Storm Wings behind Ye Xiwen unfolded instantly. He did not dare to underestimate the power of these scarlet giant mosquitoes.

“Die!” Ye Xiwen yelled violently with a stern expression. The long sword in his hand condensed in an instant. The sound of metal clanging was endless. Countless sword auras were crazily split in the sky, piercing through the opponents instantly.

This was the Burial Sword. Although the power was worse than Invincible Sword and Burial Earth Sword, it was effective to fight a large group of enemies, especially against these scarlet giant mosquitoes!

All scarlet giant mosquitoes that were swept by the sword light screeched in weird noises. All of them were slashed into a cluster of blood mist, exploding in the air. There was none managed to escape.

Ye Xiwen was able to slash hundreds of scarlet giant mosquitoes with one attack. But for the scarlet giant mosquitoes in billions of numbers, it was like a small splash in the sea. One appeared after another once it was eliminated.

The sky was quickly filled with countless scarlet giant mosquitoes.

Ye Xiwen fought and retreated, keeping his speed up to avoid being surrounded by scarlet giant mosquitoes. He fought in guerilla tactics while at the same time activated his Wood Burning Saber Technique.

Inside Ye Xiwen’s body, the mysterious space began to gleam with dazzling light. Masses of information began to be analyzed and branded at Ye Xiwen’s soul.

Ye Xiwen’s understanding of the Wood Burning Saber Technique was also improving at an unprecedented speed. There were three steps of Wood Burning Saber Technique “foundation building,” “qi refinement,” and “saber manifestation.” Ye Xiwen had accomplished the cultivation of “foundation building” as soon as he started. The prerequisite was achieving Five Elements: Inter-promoting. It was still fine, even if there was no balance. But for Ye Xiwen, who had absorbed the Star Beast’s blood, it was not a challenge at all.

After completing the “foundation building” process, the following was the “qi refinement.” Ye Xiwen would need to cultivate the unique energy of the Wood Burning Saber Technique in the body.

Ye Xiwen spread out his hands: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The power of Five Elements appeared in his hands and extinguished again. Soon, his hands became abnormally red. Seemingly, there was a crackling sound, like burning wood.

Ye Xiwen condensed his saber aura. While waving the long sword in his hand, he launched sword lights, killing the scarlet giant mosquitoes that flew over.

He maintained his speed during the whole process to lure the scarlet giant mosquitoes while not getting surrounded by them.

These scarlet giant mosquitoes’ shoot distant sprint was rapid, almost in an instant. They could dive hundreds of meters. As long as they were close to a specific range, ordinary people would not escape the mosquitoes’ pursuit. However, Ye Xiwen’s short distance dash was faster than the mosquitoes. He was just like a blob of golden light, killing those mosquitoes one by one to escape their pursuit.

As scarlet giant mosquitoes were cut in half and turned into a blood mist, Tianyuan Mirror continuously absorbed them.

“Ye Xiwen, kill more of them. Tianyuan Mirror will soon be ascended to Intermediate Human Level!” Ye Mo’s voice was faintly excited.

Hearing Ye Mo’s words, Ye Xiwen immediately became more vigorous to kill the opponent. He could feel that the Tianyuan Mirror in his body had reached a critical point. He was just one step away from the breakthrough.

At this time, it was even more impossible to give up.

Ye Xiwen maintained his speed as the entire scarlet giant mosquitoes group. He headed straight inside of Holy Realm Dwellers’ Mansion.

Many warriors along the way were almost scared to death after witnessing the scene.

“This is not real, right? Who is this person targeted by the scarlet giant mosquitoes group? He will be dead for sure!”

“They said that the most dangerous thing in this Holy Realm Dwellers’ Mansion is getting targeted by these scarlet giant mosquitoes. Although a single one of them isn’t a threat, the huge numbers make them the most dangerous killer!”

A person couldn’t kill those scarlet giant mosquitoes while running away.

These warriors ran away madly and did not dare to approach Ye Xiwen for fear of being targeted by this large group of scarlet giant mosquitoes. By that time, it would be their demise. They didn’t have Ye Xiwen’s speed, continuously dodging the attacks.

“Die!” Ye Xiwen suddenly made another move. But, this time, it was not the long sword in his hand, but a burst of fiery saber aura. It was the Burning Saber aura, which instantly sent the heatwave in the sky.

“Puff!”

“Puff!”

“Puff!”

Countless scarlet giant mosquitoes were cut in half on the spot. Among the bloody clouds, he chopped out space several hundred meters long.

The fiery long saber seemed to have evaporated all the water in the scarlet giant mosquitoes instantly, turning them pitch black like coal.

Ye Xiwen was overjoyed. He finally wielded this Wood Burning Saber Technique. Although it was only at Intermediate Human Level due to its incomplete state, Ye Xiwen could easily exert the Advanced Human Level’s power in this environment. It was no weaker than his Shattered Star Fist. On the contrary, the consumption was much smaller than the Shattered Star Fist in this environment.

Ye Xiwen only wielded this technique preliminarily, not even at minor mastery status. However, when he became proficient with the remaining parts and attained the great perfection of Wood Burning Saber Technique to great perfection, he could infer the remaining incomplete parts and restore Wood Burning Saber Technique to the Advanced Human Level.

Ye Xiwen slashed the fiery long saber faster and faster. It looked like a blooming refined flower in the sky. Countless fiery saber aura jetted out from it, and the surrounding air seemed to be burning. The scarlet giant mosquitoes were like a moth battling a fire. They just dived into it. Before they could do anything, they turned into ash already.

But for the entire scarlet giant mosquitoes group, this was just a minor part of them. Their way of defeating the enemy was to rely on numbers. They were not a particularly tyrannical group.

Ye Xiwen himself didn’t know how long he flew forward. He almost devoted himself to the fight with the scarlet giant mosquitoes group. He flew for a long time. Many scarlet giant mosquitoes died under his hands. He didn’t count, but it should be at least ten million. The group of scarlet giant mosquitoes seemed to be irritated.

They had never encountered a difficult opponent like Ye Xiwen. Generally speaking, when other warriors or beasts encountered them, there was only one dead end. They either managed to flee or failed their escape. Their blood was all sucked up in the end, turning into a mummy.

However, Ye Xiwen’s speed was not slow at all, especially in short distances. He was faster than them in the short distance dash. The mosquitoes were beaten passively. They could not do anything to Ye Xiwen.

“Boom!” A bloody aura swept out of Ye Xiwen’s body. Tianyuan Mirror jumped out of his body. A majestic and powerful aura swept out uncontrollably.

“Boom!” A colossal blood jet blasted out of Tianyuan Mirror, fell into the scarlet giant mosquitoes group, and immediately cleared a space several hundred meters in radius.

After being promoted to Intermediate Human Level, the Tianyuan Mirror’s power had doubled.

Ye Xiwen laughed loudly. The Storm Wings behind him accelerated their fan speed. Ye Xiwen quickly turned into streamers, throwing away this endless group of scarlet giant mosquitoes. Tianyuan Mirror had successfully ascended. There was no need for him to fight with these scarlet giant mosquitoes.
