Chapter 379: 0249 Six Harmonies Perfection (4k)_2

...

Changbai Mountain Void Realm.

Once again in the familiar place, Lu Chenzhou gazed towards the heavens.

The dark sea ebbed and flowed, without sun or daylight, oppressive and despairing.

An indescribable sense of unease began to emerge.

On his arm, the Catastrophe Bracelet gleamed—this was borrowed from the military by Wang Xian through his master’s connections, normally unavailable for unofficial expedition operations.

Wang Xian said,

"Junior brother, even though you have the bracelet, don’t stray too far from me. I’m not familiar with this region’s Void Realm either. Let’s head to Star River City first and find a guide."

Lu Chenzhou nodded.

"There’s no rush."

From the last expedition, he had already witnessed the dangers of the Void Realm.

Regardless of whether they could find treasures this time, safety came first.

Boom boom boom—

An armored vehicle, styled like a city bus, pulled into the station.

It was the public transport heading to Star River City.

Carrying a group of Martial Artists full of anticipation, the armored vehicle forged ahead through the fog.

Soon, a large city appeared ahead. The city walls, towering a hundred feet tall, sprawled like a massive beast upon the wilderness, with all sorts of mechanical creations roaring as they worked. Exoskeletal armors and armored vehicles formed an iron stream leaving the city, heading to the front lines to bombard the Void Things in the surrounding Catastrophe Forbidden Zones and prevent them from forming a Void Tide.

Seeing all this, the pair sighed in relief.

In this otherworldly land, technological creations were truly a source of security.

Inside the city.

Compared to the newly established Jiangnan City, Star River City had evidently developed a military-centered social ecosystem. Under military control, many social Martial Artists and technicians lived long-term in the Void Realm, establishing various organizations within the city.

Along the streets, various signs hung:

"Demon Hunting Office."

"Ghost Catcher Guild."

"Knife Catcher Association."

Lu Chenzhou curiously took in everything around him.

Wang Xian explained,

"Martial Artists in Star River City have particularly clear roles. Demon Hunters typically hunt only demon creatures, and Knife Catchers usually deal with Black Knights or cults... No matter what, anything successfully killed allows one to exchange for Battle Merit with the military, and the military’s merit is universally accepted across all of Starfire City. I remember you wanted to exchange for the Cold Silkworm Robe; this might be a good chance to earn some merits."

Wang Xian came to the Void Realm partly to help Lu Chenzhou find guarantees in Tiger King Valley and also to accumulate merits to exchange for a Xuan Grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, aiding his advancement to Grandmaster.

Before long, they arrived before a shop.

Lu Chenzhou muttered,

"Tomb Raider Office... Tomb Raider Captain? Isn’t that about tomb raiding?"

Wang Xian chuckled,

"In old times, it was. The civilian oddities may seem superstitious, but the Feng Shui knowledge they possess is somewhat useful for exploring the Void Realm."

Lu Chenzhou said,

"That makes sense, since satellites won’t work here."

Wang Xian replied,

"Don’t underestimate these tomb-raiding professions. Their ancestors had preliminarily explored the Void Realm thousands of years ago, accumulating much knowledge about it. Da Xia’s exploration of the Void Realm also relies on these oddities... Come on, let me show you."

Pushing open the door, it was as if they had entered an antique shop. A musty, decaying scent wafted over, and a stylish young woman with vintage curly hair, wearing a red slit cheongsam, was polishing an antique bronze sword; the scent of perfume hit them overtly...

Seeing the customers, the young woman turned around, slightly startled.

"Wang Xian?"

Wang Xian beamed a sunny smile and said,

"Sister Hong, long time no see."

Sister Hong put down the ancient sword and poured a cup of tea, asking,

"Weren’t you at the branch school?"

Wang Xian patted Lu Chenzhou beside him and said,

"I’m accompanying my junior brother for an errand."

Sister Hong sized up Lu Chenzhou, her charm intrinsic. For Lu Chenzhou who just practiced Pure Yang Shield, being stared at by such a woman was a test.

Sister Hong, appearing exquisitely alluring, was in reality a Martial Arts Master.

Sister Hong laughed,

"Don’t call me senior, it makes me sound old... Just call me Sister."

Lu Chenzhou took out the Netherworld map and said,

"Sister, I need a guide."

Wang Xian added,

"I will pay the cost."

Sister Hong took the map, looked at it and stated,

"The map is authentic, but the ’Nameless Valley’ mentioned is not within the safe boundaries of the Oasis. We have to cross the Oasis and delve deep into the Catastrophe Forbidden Zone for thousands of miles. Considering the journey including searching, resting, and fighting, the round trip might take half a month. Can you handle it, young man?"

She and Wang Xian were both of the Breakthrough Third Realm, naturally unconcerned.

But looking at Lu Chenzhou, he seemed only at the level of Martial Arts End Realm.

Wang Xian laughed lightly,

"No worries, my junior brother will not hold us back... Sister Hong, you’ve been isolated in the Void Realm for a long time, once you get out, you’ll see how formidable my junior brother is."

Sister Hong studied Lu Chenzhou carefully, her breath fragrant,

"Alright then, we’ll prepare for the journey today and set out tomorrow morning. You guys can stay here tonight, no need to look for another place."

That night...

Lu Chenzhou was practicing Heavenly Pile inside the house.

Outside, Sister Hong and Brother Wang were catching up over drinks.

His intuition told him that there must be some gossip between Brother Wang and Sister Hong.

[Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Pile: the 91st acupoint opened]

After finishing his daily exercises, he fell into a deep sleep.

...

The next day.

Early in the morning, a group left Star River City and walked towards the edge of the Oasis; it was too dangerous to drive in the Catastrophe Forbidden Zone due to the numerous unstable factors.

With the speed of a Martial Artist, walking was no slower than driving.

After venturing a hundred li into the Catastrophe Forbidden Zone, the mini Tiger Tai Sui in Lu Chenzhou’s mind opened its eyes, and the ancient sword on top of his head, like a compass, pointed towards the north.

At the same time, a cold surge emerged in the Daling acupoint.

Lu Chenzhou cautioned,

"There might be Void Things in the north."

Naturally, the two experts, Sister Hong and Brother Wang, sensed it too.

Sister Hong, with her beautiful eyes, glanced at Lu Chenzhou and asked,

"Practiced the ’Tiger Demon Tai Sui Technique’?"

Lu Chenzhou nodded.

Sister Hong smiled and said,

"That Cultivation Technique is not simple."

To have reached the Third Layer in such a short time.

This Lu Chenzhou, just as Wang Xian said, truly a prodigy blessed by the heavens.

Not long after.

Rustling sounds came from the bushes.

Eyes green and shiny like fireflies lit up like lanterns.

A pack of giant wolves, big as calves and drooling, emerged with narrow wolf heads that bizarrely had the faces of women, fangs outwardly displayed, their demeanor grotesque and eerie.

Sister Hong said,

"Just a common Void Human Wolf."

Lu Chenzhou drew his spear and said,

"Sister, let me handle this."

Killing these demon creatures could be exchanged for money.

None of the three contemplated retreating.

Wang Xian also wanted to take this opportunity to train his junior brother.

Sister Hong smilingly said,

"Then be careful."

Whoosh!

Swift as an arrow released from the bow, with a surge of rolling energy, Lu Chenzhou’s aura crashed forward like a great wave, his spear vibrated as he thrust forward, piercing the chest of a giant wolf, fiercely splitting it in two with a lift, eliciting a woman’s sobbing as it fell into a pool of blood.

"Gu Lu Gu Lu..."

The Tiger Gall Spear absorbed the fresh blood, turning an eerie red.

Behind him came sweeping Yin Wind; he didn’t even look back but used the [Tiger Whisker] to sense and lock onto the position of the giant wolf, flipped his body like a sparrow, dodged, and with a turn of his spear, he thrust!

Puchi.

A high-risk giant wolf, pinned like skewered mutton, was impaled in one strike.

On the Martial Arts Tree, notification sounds continuously beeped.

[Pear Blossom Spear Technique: Beginner (23%) → Beginner (25%)]

Lu Chenzhou felt delighted inside.

The familiar sensation had returned.

Seeing this, Wang Xian leapt onto a tree.

He simply practiced his stance while waiting.

Sister Hong, with arms crossed, smiled and said,

"You are quite at ease. There’s a Nether Level Wolf King nearby, plus these common giant wolves, more than a hundred as a group for combat; even in the End Realm, it’s hard to defend against."

Wang Xian confidently smiled and said,

"This sea of enemies tactic is useless against my junior brother."

Sister Hong:

"It’s not good to get injured in such a remote place without nearby villages or stores."

Wang Xian looked down, his lips curling up,

"Injured? Not possible."

"Kill!" Lu Chenzhou grew fiercer with the fight, his spear light slashing through the void like a dragon, almost every stab taking a giant wolf’s life, some torn apart, others impaled; the effects of [Breaking Army] and [Battle Blood] inside the acupoints had begun to show.

The more enemies, the stronger the spear skill.

The more he killed, the stronger his spear skill became!

Iron Crotch Skill and Life Spring, endlessly circulating.

Tiger Whisker and Tai Sui Perception, watching in all directions.

Lu Chenzhou, like a meat grinder, wielded his spear skill like a storm of pear flowers, no human wolf could get close before being intercepted, a single thrust passing straight through two!

Unknowingly, around him, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood had formed.

Tiger Gall greedily drank demon blood, its evil Qi like demonic soldiers!
