CHAPTER 202: CHAPTER 202: HOW DID I REACH THE 3RD LAYER OF FOUNDATION ESTABLISHMENT?

After recovering to peak Qi Blood and Magical Power, Lu Yuanshan felt an inexhaustible strength coursing through his entire body, wielding the Golden Crow Sword and slashing out once more.

He struck toward a nearby Tier Two Black Demon.

The Tier Two Black Demon, as if facing a great enemy, used demonic techniques to form a skull-shaped shield in front of it, attempting to resist.

But ultimately, it couldn’t withstand the attack.

With the dual enhancement of the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique and Taihe Cave Heaven Skill, the Golden Crow Sword was invincible, and being a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact itself, the power of this sword strike was enough to cut open a Tier Two High-Grade Spiritual Artifact.

With a loud bang.

In no time, the skull shield was slashed apart.

The power of the Golden Crow Sword did not diminish, continuing its slash, cutting the Tier Two Black Demon in half, blood splattering onto the ground.

At the same time, several Tier One and Tier Two Evil Demons launched attacks around Lu Yuanshan, comprising Black Demons, Nether Demons, and Horned Demons.

"Ascend, dodge."

Lu Ping sent a communication and sprang into action.

He activated a Water Sword Talisman, summoning a Cold Water Spiritual Sword on the spot, slashing at a nearby Tier One Evil Demon closest to Lu Yuanshan.

The Water Sword Talisman is a Tier One Middle-grade Talisman, capable of easily dealing with a mid-stage Tier One Evil Demon.

This strike left the enemy no time to dodge, not even realizing where this Water Sword came from, as if it materialized out of thin air.

Beheaded by the Water Sword in an instant.

Not only that, but a Blazing Fire Talisman was activated almost instantaneously.

Lu Ping struck again, using the Blazing Fire Talisman to conjure raging Profound Fire, blazing and surging, enveloping another Tier Two Evil Demon.

The Blazing Fire Talisman too is a Tier One Middle-grade Talisman, and under Lu Ping’s sudden activation, the attack appeared out of thin air, with no warning signs, utterly confounding the Tier Two Evil Demon.

Where did this come from?

That was the only thought in its mind.

The next moment, it couldn’t dodge in time, and it was too late to use magic to block, being thoroughly enveloped in Blazing Fire, its body set ablaze.

It turned into a Fire Demon, struggling violently, wailing in agony.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a Primordial Magnetic Divine Light shot out swiftly, striking the blazing Tier Two Evil Demon in an instant, slaying it outright.

The Wind Thunder Wings fluttered slightly, spreading their wings and lifting Lu Yuanshan swiftly into the air, standing in the void.

Within the Primordial Magnetic Treasure Bottle, the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light continually gathered, sweeping towards the two Tier Two Evil Demons below.

These two Tier Two Evil Demons were attacking two disciples of the Luoyun Sect, but Lu Yuanshan’s attack forced them to sense danger, compelling them to dodge and abandon their attack.

"Thank you, Brother Lu!"

Lu Yuanshan’s support was naturally noticed by the two Luoyun Sect disciples, who realized in time and secretly wiped a cold sweat.

They were not like Lu Yuanshan, who had recovered to peak Magical Qi Blood state.

Currently, their combat power was only around sixty percent, far from their peak.

This state made it quite difficult to deal with Tier Two Evil Demons.

Lu Yuanshan remained silent, slightly nodding, maneuvering the Wind Thunder Wings to descend, cleaving the slain Evil Demons with a single sword strike and retrieving the Demon Beads within them with a wave of his hand.

The entire action was incredibly skillful and very relaxed.

As Lu Yuanshan showcased his might, Han Yunsheng glanced at him a couple of times, feeling somewhat surprised and finding Lu Yuanshan becoming more inscrutable.

Even with a cultivation at the Crystallization Stage, though now not at peak due to Magical Power exhaustion, he could still clearly sense the state of Lu Yuanshan’s power.

With a little attention, he noticed that the aura and Magical Power intensity displayed by Lu Ping had actually reached the Second Layer in Foundation Establishment!

The Second Layer wasn’t surprising.

The surprising part was that everyone had consumed significantly due to sustaining the Fiery Sun Heaven-Burning Array, with Magical Power only half remaining.

No one had fully recovered yet, when a group of Nether Demons suddenly attacked.

Lu Yuanshan was also a part of the array and had no chance to slack off or muddle through, otherwise, the entire array couldn’t operate normally.

The Fiery Sun Heaven-Burning Array required each member to contribute equal Magical Power to unleash the Fiery Sun Divine Flame, which was well understood.

This brought forth a problem.

Since everyone was Magical Power depleted and began refining elixirs to recover at the same time, how did Lu Yuanshan recover so quickly in such a short time?

The recovery elixirs granted by the Celestial Fire Palace couldn’t achieve this effect.

Furthermore, based on his understanding, he hadn’t heard of any Divine Elixir that could restore Qi Blood and Magical Power so rapidly.

Could it possibly be Tier Five or higher elixirs?

Does Lu Yuanshan possess such high-level Treasure Pills?

He’s merely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

Thoughts continuously surfaced in Han Yunsheng’s mind, making his gaze toward Lu Yuanshan more serious and increasingly curious.

In a swift glance towards other team members, those Foundation Establishment Cultivators were in a disarray when faced with Evil Demons’ attacks, looking helpless and disheveled, with some even bleeding.

The gap compared to Lu Yuanshan was simply too apparent.

However, being surprised by just this much was indeed premature.

Amidst combat, Lu Yuanshan once again heard Lu Ping’s voice in his mind, his tone incredibly calm, making Lu Yuanshan puzzled.

"I’ll provide you with some additional power, enhancing your combat power. Prepare yourself and stay calm."

At present, with no opportunity to deploy the Fiery Sun Heaven-Burning Array against enemies, surrounded by many Tier Three Evil Demons, Lu Ping was genuinely worried that Lu Yuanshan might perish here.

He didn’t need to hold back anymore, immediately opening the System Mall and applying all available enhancement products to Lu Yuanshan.

[Three-star Mana Amplification].

[Three-star Agility Enhancement].

[Three-star Combat Durability].

The three Three-star products in total required 650 Reputation Points.

Being straightforward, Lu Ping spent 650 Reputation Points to redeem them all for Lu Yuanshan.

In an instant, Lu Yuanshan felt something unusual again in his body.

The effect of Mana Amplification could enhance the bearer’s strength by a small realm, and instantly made Lu Yuanshan feel his Second Layer Foundation Establishment realm progressing towards the Third Layer.

He then made a breakthrough, acquiring the power of the Third-Layer Foundation Establishment!

But that wasn’t all, Agility Enhancement spoke for itself, significantly boosting Lu Yuanshan’s speed. Together with the Wind Thunder Wings and Purple Extreme Escape Light, his speed now matched that of Tier Three Evil Demons.

Even if he couldn’t win, he could at least escape.

The final aspect of Combat Durability also had a pleasing effect, doubling Lu Yuanshan’s combat power while making it more enduring.

With the combined enhancement of these three aspects, Lu Yuanshan’s current strength could straightforwardly slaughter a Third-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

Facing a Fourth-Layer one, he could still engage, without fearing for his life.

"I... I’ve become Third-Layer Foundation Establishment now?"

Lu Yuanshan was taken aback.

He was both surprised and delighted.
