Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 426: Taixu Nether Light Scripture, Ji Wuji: Hes Cheating (II)
Chapter 426: Taixu Nether Light Scripture, Ji Wuji: He's Cheating (II)
When Chen Chu entered the Oasis from the ruins, he immediately felt a lightness in his body, and the surrounding air became fresh. The transcendent energy in the environment made his entire body feel comfortable.
On a nearby slope, flames flickered as An Fuqing was cutting up mutated beast meat.
A murderous aura suddenly approached from afar. Chen Chu emerged from the darkness; even though he had retracted his invisible aura, it still made the flames appear dimmer.
An Fuqing was a bit surprised. "Chen Chu, how many void monsters did you kill today?"
"Around two thousand, I guess," Chen Chu replied as he sat across from her. With a thought, he summoned his attribute page, his gaze falling on the entry for the Double Void Pupils.
Ability: Double Void Pupils +3461 [Top-level, eyes containing void energy]
In just one day, moving in a zigzag pattern, he had covered a search area of nearly ten thousand kilometers, slaying over two thousand monsters.
Most of them had been in the Sixth Heavenly Realm, with a few in the Fifth, over a hundred in the Seventh, and the strongest being the beginning-stage Eighth Heavenly Realm Dark Angel.
"...You're becoming more and more of a freak," An Fuqing marveled.
She knew Chen Chu was powerful, but what astonished her was his terrifying endurance. It seemed as if his true power was endless.
At that moment, both their wrists flashed with light, indicating that the sub-eye communication had been activated.
[Cangyun] Wu Hong: Damn! Fifty-nine thousand? Did I read that number wrong?
On the edge of the Oasis, a young man’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the leaderboard.
After the sub-eye channel opened today, it wasn’t as lively as the previous two days, but instead dead silent. Everyone was either stunned or shocked as they stared at the leaderboard’s top name.
Next to the name Chen Chu, the number 59,240 left everyone in awe.
Especially Ji Wuji, who stood atop a hundred-meter stone peak with his right hand behind his back, just about to laugh triumphantly at the sky.
His eyes widened as he saw his own score of over 15,00 Purple Spirit points, and then looked at Chen Chu’s score, which had skyrocketed from just over 2,000 in one day. Ji Wuji couldn’t help but shout.
"I refuse to believe it! This guy must be cheating!"
At that moment, it wasn’t just Ji Wuji; many others instinctively thought the same—that this guy was cheating.
It was just too exaggerated. An increase of over fifty thousand points in a day meant that if they were level 5 monsters, at least thirty to forty thousand would need to be killed. For level 6 monsters, it would exceed two thousand.
What did it mean to kill over two thousand level 6 monsters? If all of the Sixth Heavenly Realm geniuses within these ruins were wiped out, it would still not be enough to reach that number.
Does this guy’s true power never run out?
A Seventh Heavenly Realm cultivator would need to expend a significant amount of true power to slay a single level 6 creature; after killing a few dozen, they’d be exhausted and would need to recover.
That was assuming they weren’t surrounded. If they were besieged by dozens of level 6 creatures, even an ordinary Seventh Realm expert wouldn’t be able to hold out, let alone someone like Chen Chu, who had to kill over a thousand.
On top of that, the day before yesterday, he had mostly slain level 5 creatures. The concept of a Seventh Heavenly Realm cultivator slaying over a thousand level 5 monsters was barely acceptable.
Barely acceptable, my foot.
[West Meng] Frank: This guy is too terrifying. I saw him earlier today, running at supersonic speed, and I knew the leaderboard would change.
[Rarludo] Kaart: I ventured three hundred kilometers into the ruins today and saw Chen Chu too. Did this guy circle the Oasis killing monsters again?
[Baihu] Tu Yaoyao: It’s obvious he did another lap around the Oasis today. With that much endurance, I’m willing to call him the strongest.
[West Meng] Gabriella: I’m also willing to call him the strongest. It feels like this guy has more stamina than a mech; he actually circled thousands of kilometers and killed so many monsters in a day.
[East Xia] Xia Youhui: Hahaha... I knew it. Ah Chu never fails to shock people.
Chen Chu chimed in.
[East Xia] Chen Chu: Everyone, don’t be surprised. I just killed some void monsters. But today, I encountered a beginning-stage level 8 monster within a 400-kilometer range.
[North Lin] Bardas: That powerful a monster just 400 kilometers away from the Oasis?
[East Xia] Chen Chu: That’s right. So everyone, be careful. Not all of the stronger monsters are hiding away in the deep ruins.
Chen Chu’s words made everyone who had ventured deep into the ruins tense up.
If a beginning-stage level 8 monster could appear just four hundred kilometers deep into the ruins, who could guarantee that a similarly leveled monster at the late stage wouldn't appear within five hundred?
If that were to happen, encountering such a monster would mean certain death for them.
This news caused everyone to momentarily forget about being amazed by Chen Chu's extraordinary battle achievements, as they started pondering whether they should be even more cautious when entering the ruins tomorrow.
Across from him, An Fuqing's expression turned serious. "It seems the ruins are more dangerous than we imagined."
Chen Chu said slowly, "You could say they're extremely dangerous."
Although he had been invincible in the outer regions of the ruins over the past two days, even he didn't dare claim he could escape unscathed if he ventured into areas where level 8 monsters roamed, to say nothing of the possibility of encountering level 9 monsters deep within.
Chen Chu glanced at the leaderboard and noticed that, aside from him, the top five—Ji Wuji, Gabriella, Bardas, and Bredos—had all surpassed 10,000 points.
Next was Li Daoyi, who ranked sixth with over 9,000 points. The seventh was someone named Ye Jinwen, with over 8,000 points.
Chen Chu barely recognized any of the other names in the top thirty. These were all of the older geniuses, mostly at the middle stage of the Sixth Heavenly Realm, with their points generally exceeding 3,000.
By the time the rankings reached 120th place, the Purple Spirit points had dropped below 1,000. After the 300th place, the points had even fallen below 300.
After 3 days, only 120 geniuses had secured their tickets. In the remaining 10 days or so, it was likely that dozens more would be able to squeeze in.
However, obtaining a ticket to the path to divinity didn't guarantee a harvest; one still had to pass the trials on the path to receive the origin rewards. 1,000 Purple Spirit points were just the entry ticket.
That was the normal situation. Among the nearly one thousand top-level geniuses who had entered, there were over five hundred who had broken through to the Sixth Heavenly Realm before the age of twenty, most of whom were at the beginning stage.
Then there were those at the late stage to peak of the Fifth Realm, with a few second-year geniuses who had broken through to the Sixth, totaling around two hundred.
The remainder were geniuses like Xia Youhui, who broke through to the Fifth Realm in their first year. Most of them were at the beginning or middle stages, with a combined total of around two hundred more people.
Most of those below the Sixth Realm, except for a few who were confident in their combat power, had ventured into the Oasis for exploration, just like Lin Xue and her group.
As a result, only around six hundred people had entered the ruins, battling monsters or exploring relics. As cultivators of the Sixth Heavenly Realm, they could fight against level 6 monsters, even crossing two or three minor realms to battle.
Unlike Chen Chu, though, who relied on physical strength to dominate, their fights consumed a lot of true power.
Even Ji Wuji, who was at the late stage of the Seventh Heavenly Realm, needed to rest and recover after a hard-fought battle against a monster of the same level.
Therefore, after three days, there weren't many who could continuously slay dozens of level 6 monsters.
Today, it was still An Fuqing who took charge of cooking. After eating and drinking their fill, Chen Chu noticed her take out a small golden sword, about the length of a palm.
Sensing the ancient aura emanating from the small sword, a smile appeared on Chen Chu's face. "It seems you've had a good harvest today, An Fuqing."
"You're not doing too bad yourself," An Fuqing replied, glancing at the black seal that had appeared in Chen Chu's hand.
The two exchanged a knowing smile before beginning to contemplate the relic items in their hands.
Earlier today, An Fuqing had been on a collapsed building's ruins. Surrounded by four streaks of sword will, she had slain several level 6 contaminated monsters when the small sword buried underground had been drawn to her sword will.

Her luck was so good that even Xie Chen, who had witnessed this scene, was surprised.
Soon, An Fuqing was enveloped by an aura of sudden enlightenment, and a sharp aura emanated from the small sword in her hand, causing her long hair to flutter.
Seeing this, Chen Chu cautiously probed the black seal in his hand with a trace of his spiritual force.
Hum!
Chen Chu's consciousness sank, and he instantly found himself in a dark world, where a scripture composed of thousands of ancient characters floated above the heavens.
Taixu Nether Light Scripture.
Though he didn't recognize the ancient script, the name of this art instinctively surfaced in Chen Chu’s mind as he gazed at those characters.
