After a day of hard work, Su Chen had killed over a hundred Spirit Focus Realm demons and over twenty Reincarnation Realm demons. He had accumulated over three hundred points.
His ranking on the Demon Judgment Leaderboard had broken through the top ten and reached eighth place.
Xu Canglan, who was in first place, had over seven hundred points.
Although this guy was a little annoying, it had to be said that his strength was still very formidable.
It was worth mentioning that apart from his ranking, Su Chen's biggest gain was that he had absorbed over forty Demon Essence Pills.
He had only killed twenty Reincarnation Realm demons, but he had also picked up twenty more corpses, all of which had been killed by others.
In the eyes of others, the corpses of the demons were useless, but in Su Chen's eyes, they were treasures.
At this rate, Su Chen might be able to light up the second Undying and Imperishable Painting before the end of the Three Clear Mystic Assembly.
Now that Su Chen's recovery ability was at the level of monsters, who knew how strong his recovery ability would be after he lit up the second Undying and Imperishable Painting.
But what was strange was that Su Chen didn't feel any obvious increase in his recovery ability even though he had already lit up over two hundred of the second Undying and Imperishable Painting's meridians.
Maybe the second Undying and Imperishable Painting's effect wasn't to increase his recovery ability?
Maybe it was to increase his abilities in other areas?
Vaguely, Su Chen felt that his vitality recovery speed had sped up a lot.
Could it be that the first painting was for recovering blood, and the second painting was for recovering mana?
That was possible.
Whatever, there was no harm in lighting up more meridians.
Unknowingly, Su Chen had already reached the entrance of the Seventh Layer of Heaven.
He finally saw a second cultivator other than himself.
Kong Lingxuan!
Kong Lingxuan's injuries had basically healed, and her aura had returned to its previous powerful state. Just as she was about to enter the Seventh Layer of Heaven, she was slightly stunned when she saw Su Chen.
Obviously, she didn't expect Su Chen to be able to reach this step.
"You broke through to the Reincarnation Realm?"
When she saw Su Chen before, he was only at the peak of Spirit Focus.
Su Chen nodded, "Let's go together?"
Kong Lingxuan nodded and made some space. The two walked up the stairs side by side.
"This is the first time I've seen someone break through from the Spirit Condensation Realm to the Reincarnation Realm during the Three Pure Ones Mystic Assembly. Your luck is pretty good. After all, only those who have entered the Reincarnation Realm are qualified to compete for the Demon Judgment Board."
Perhaps it was because she had received Su Chen's pills, but Kong Lingxuan's attitude towards Su Chen was quite good.
"It's easier to stimulate one's potential in times of crisis. I never thought that I would be able to break through here."
Su Chen said with a smile.
"That's true. Back then, when I broke through to the Reincarnation Realm, I encountered an ambush from a powerful enemy. I fought with my back against the wall and broke through at the critical moment."
Kong Lingxuan and Su Chen strolled up to the Seventh Layer of Heaven. There was also a huge stone tablet here that displayed everyone's ranking. Kong Lingxuan's ranking had already risen to twelfth.
"By the way, what's your name?" Kong Lingxuan suddenly asked.
"Su Chen."
Kong Lingxuan was slightly stunned. "You're the eighth-ranked Su Chen!"
Kong Lingxuan was a bit absent-minded. Did this guy really just break through to the Reincarnation Realm? He had more than three hundred points, which meant that he had killed at least a dozen Reincarnation Realm evil spirits. How could a cultivator who just broke through to the Reincarnation Realm have such ridiculous combat power?
Su Chen smiled and didn't say anything.
Kong Lingxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's work together."
"How?"
Su Chen was a bit surprised. With Kong Lingxuan's strength, it shouldn't be a problem for her to kill the evil spirits alone. Moreover, her cultivation level was higher than Su Chen's. Logically speaking, she would be at a disadvantage if she worked with Su Chen.
Kong Lingxuan said, "I have a way to attract all the evil spirits within a ten-mile radius. However, if I use this method alone, I might encounter two or three evil spirits at the same time. If I'm caught in a pincer attack, I'll be in danger. If you can protect me, I can boldly use this method to attract the evil spirits."
"I can. But why did you choose me to work with?"
Su Chen said, "There are many people here who are stronger than me. We've only met twice."
"You helped me when I was in danger. Your character is trustworthy. I don't trust anyone else."
Kong Lingxuan said generously. She was very straightforward.
Su Chen thought about it and immediately nodded.
"Okay, I'll help you."
Although Su Chen could use teleportation to search for the evil spirits, this method was still too slow. Cooperating with Kong Lingxuan was still a good idea. Moreover, she was obviously stronger than Su Chen. If he encountered an even stronger evil spirit, she could reduce some of the pressure.
After all, after reaching the Seventh Layer of Heaven, the evil spirits' overall strength would definitely be stronger.
"Then let's go now. The evil spirits in this area should have all been killed. Let's go deeper."
The two sprinted for hundreds of miles and found a valley shrouded in evil aura.
Kong Lingxuan stopped and took a deep breath. Demonic energy burst out from her body. An illusory peacock feather screen unfolded behind her. On the pure white peacock feathers, there were many vermillion spots. They slowly opened like eyes and emitted a strange aura.
Suddenly, many evil spirits roared in the surrounding forest. Su Chen could sense at least a dozen evil spirits rushing towards the valley. Among them, there were three Reincarnation Realm evil spirits.
Su Chen didn't hesitate. He drew the Sky Punishing Bow and shot at the first evil spirit that rushed into the valley.
This arrow was full of power and was wrapped in cold aura. Its power was shocking. It directly shot through the evil spirit. At the same time, the cold aura enveloped the evil spirit and froze it into an ice sculpture.
However, it didn't die. It was only severely injured.
The Seventh Layer evil spirits were indeed much stronger.
Su Chen immediately summoned the Yuchang Sword and slashed out, killing that evil spirit with lightning speed.
At the same time, the other two Reincarnation Realm evil spirits arrived. They seemed to be enraged by Kong Lingxuan's aura and rushed towards her crazily.
At this time, Kong Lingxuan was in a weak state. Her face was pale. She was channeling her energy to adjust her aura. She had no time to fight.
No wonder she didn't dare to use this method alone. It was tantamount to suicide.
Su Chen didn't have time to defend himself. He stretched out his hand and formed a divine rune boundary, enveloping Kong Lingxuan.
"A grandmaster-level divine runemaster!"
Although Kong Lingxuan was weak, she was still conscious. She couldn't help but be shocked when she felt the divine rune power surging around her.
Su Chen was a grandmaster-level divine runemaster, just like her mother!
Kong Lingxuan knew how difficult it was to become a grandmaster-level divine runemaster. Her mother, the Peacock Bright Monarch, was extremely talented, but it took her more than a hundred years to reach the grandmaster-level. This Su Chen looked so young and had no reputation. He was obviously a newcomer.
It was hard not to be shocked that a newcomer had such a high level of attainment in the dao of divine runes.
If there was a chance, he would definitely bring Su Chen to the Peacock Continent. His mother had always wanted to find a Divine Patternscribe who was on par with him to spar with. He was sure that she would be happy to meet Su Chen.
Under the protection of the divine rune boundary, the evil spirits couldn't touch Kong Lingxuan for a while. Su Chen took the opportunity to draw the Sky Destroyer Bow again and shoot at one of the evil spirits.
"Roar!"
The evil spirit's attention was attracted by Su Chen. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it rushed towards Su Chen.
"Boom!"
Su Chen waved his hand and a thick thunderbolt fell from the sky, striking the evil spirit.
