Chapter 311: Stealing National Luck, Six Million Villain Points!

Chapter 311: Stealing National Luck, Six Million Villain Points!

According to Little Koi, this "Exquisite Heart-Burning Art" was clearly a life-risking Cultivation Technique that pushed the body to its limits.

It could consume the body's foundation during a desperate fight to explosively increase combat power.

This was even crazier than burning essence blood.

Afterward, it would cause the body to burst and die.

Not to mention reversing the life meridians to boost combat power again, which would result in the soul being completely destroyed afterward.

If it were anyone else cultivating such a technique, they would be a top-tier beast of burden chosen by the Linglong Heavenly God.

The kind that would have even their bone marrow squeezed dry.

But Qin Xuan was different!

If he were to Cultivate the "Exquisite Heart-Burning Art," how could Little Koi manipulate his soul seal? How could she possibly let his soul be destroyed and turn him into a beast of burden?

These concerns could be completely disregarded!

Not to mention, the explosive effect of this technique complemented the "Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation" perfectly.

The "Exquisite Heart-Burning Art" had huge negative side effects that would lead to the destruction of the soul, while the "Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation" could maintain a state of 'immortality and indestructibility'.

As long as he maintained the operation of the "Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation" while activating the "Exquisite Heart-Burning Art."

Wouldn't that be equivalent to having no need to worry about the negative side effects, directly resulting in an explosion of combat power!?

The "Exquisite Heart-Burning Art" alone, at the introductory stage, could double his combat power, and reversing his life meridians could cause it to skyrocket again.

If he were to Cultivate it to the Minor Achievement, Major Achievement... or even Perfection.

What a terrifying existence that would be!?

Opponents who were previously evenly matched with him would be swept away like dry wood under his surging combat power!

"It has to be this 'Exquisite Heart-Burning Art'. It fits my current situation perfectly. Since I've already cultivated the 'Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation' Divine Ability, which can maintain the special state of 'immortality and indestructibility' during a Phoenix Nirvana, I can ignore the negative effects of the 'Exquisite Heart-Burning Art'..."

Qin Xuan had already made up his mind to Cultivate the "Exquisite Heart-Burning Art" and explained the pros and cons as clearly as possible.

If he didn't reveal some of his own foundation, given Little Koi's personality, she would absolutely never let him Cultivate such a damaging technique.

Little Koi tilted her head in confusion, muttering suspiciously, "Is there really such a Heaven-Defying technique?"

She shifted her gaze toward Feng Yao, who had already fallen into the endless bitter sea outside the transparent wall, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that this Prodigy of the Phoenix clan passed this Divine Ability to you, husband?"

Qin Xuan nodded slowly.

With a thought from Little Koi, Feng Yao, who had been sinking deeper into the bitter sea with an increasingly dim soul light, gradually began to float upward.

When she looked at Qin Xuan again, Little Koi hesitated for a long time before slowly nodding, "Since you wish for it, husband, then I will follow your will. However, you must remember not to use this 'Exquisite Heart-Burning Art' recklessly. Even with the 'Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation' to protect you, I fear it might cause a conflict between the two techniques within your body."

Qin Xuan gave a hum, "Unless it is an absolute last resort, I will never use it recklessly."

Little Koi raised her hand.

Dozens of Heaven-Swallowing Carps, each carrying great medicinal herbs larger than themselves, were rushing toward this place.

Little Koi introduced them one by one, "This is a Karma Fire Fruit; consuming it has the effect of refining the physical body."

"This is a Bitter Sea Heart; after taking it, it can enhance the Divine Soul."

"And this is a Dao Heart Pill, used by great powers to refine and consolidate their Dao Heart."

"..."

"Husband, consume them all, and then I will pass the 'Exquisite Heart-Burning Art' to you."

The great medicinal herbs brought by the Heaven-Swallowing Carps were supposed to be bestowed upon the trial-takers who had performed excellently.

However, Little Koi felt that the medicinal efficacy of these herbs was too strong.

They were all rare treasures.

She wanted to save them all for Qin Xuan.

Therefore, the other trial-takers who had entered the Seven-Colored Linglong Tower this time, apart from Feng Yao, to whom she had bestowed a single Karma Fire Fruit, had no other gains!

Qin Xuan did not refuse anyone, swallowing them all whole.

The immense medicinal power turned into scorching warm currents, rampaging crazily through his limbs and bones.

The medicinal power was so abundant that Qin Xuan's face was flushed with surging blood, as red as a cooked crab.

White mist was even rising from his seven orifices.

"What pure medicinal power!"

"Let's help Brother-in-law consume the medicinal herbs he can't use up!"

"Following Brother-in-law, we get to eat great medicinal herbs!"

"..."

The Heaven-Swallowing Carps circled around Qin Xuan, greedily devouring the medicinal power that was too abundant to be absorbed and had overflowed from Qin Xuan's body surface.

Each of them was happily enjoying the nourishment of the great medicinal herbs.

Seeing this, Little Koi did not stop them. She simply raised her jade-like finger and tapped Qin Xuan on the forehead. Immediately, the Mind-Cultivation Technique of the "Exquisite Heart-Burning Art" flowed into Qin Xuan's mind like a babbling clear spring.

The Karma Fire Fruit, Dao Heart Pill, and Bitter Sea Heart all seemed to be attracted at this moment, following a predetermined route and circulating rhythmically through Qin Xuan's limbs and bones.

After a full day and night, having completed forty-nine cycles.

Qin Xuan's interface finally showed that the "Exquisite Heart-Burning Art" had reached the introductory stage.

Hoo—

Exhaling a long breath of turbid air, Qin Xuan looked at the "Exquisite Heart-Burning Art" on the interface and curiously asked, "System, how many Villain Points does it cost to Cultivate the 'Exquisite Heart-Burning Art' to the Minor Achievement stage?"

【To Cultivate the "Exquisite Heart-Burning Art" to the Minor Achievement stage requires one million Villain Points; from Minor Achievement to Major Achievement requires two million Villain Points; to Cultivate to the Peak requires four million Villain Points...】

"The Prodigy-level nature of this technique is indeed worth this price! It's slightly different from the 'Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation' and the 'Dragon-Elephant Domain-Suppressing Scripture', but not by much."

Qin Xuan sighed helplessly.

It was a pity that he didn't even have enough Villain Points to upgrade the "Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation" to the Minor Achievement stage right now.

Let alone upgrading the "Exquisite Heart-Burning Art" at this moment.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Qin Xuan's mind. He took out the storage treasure he had obtained from Crown Prince Zi Wuji.

He handed it to Little Koi and said eagerly, "This is a storage bracelet I plundered from elsewhere. Take a look and see what good things are inside."

It should be known that when he had the ancient prison-suppressing tower promoted to an Emperor Weapon, he was extremely lacking in resources, yet he hadn't even thought of using Crown Prince Zi Wuji's storage bracelet.

This was opening a blind box.

The better the Luck, the more precious the treasures inside.

Compared to Luck, who could be a match for Little Koi?

He had been waiting for Little Koi to open it. Now that they were finally reunited, how could he bear to miss it?

What if Little Koi's Luck was Heaven-Defying and she could open some divine weapon specifically designed to restrain Dao Child Leng Shang?

Once he walked out of the Seven-Colored Linglong Tower and killed Dao Child Leng Shang.

Wouldn't he be able to plunder a massive amount of Villain Points and take the Opportunity to upgrade the "Exquisite Heart-Burning Art" and the "Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation" to the Major Achievement stage!?

Little Koi did not refuse and nodded, "I will try."

She took the bracelet, probed it with her Divine Sense, and took out a sword, which was a quasi-emperor artifact.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Qin Xuan casually threw the quasi-emperor artifact to the heavenly desolation halberd to devour, his eyes filled with eagerness.

As more and more weapons appeared, the lowest grade was at the Sacred Artifact level.

Qin Xuan was not stingy and threw them all to the heavenly desolation halberd.

He then threw the hundreds of Immortal Stones opened from the 'blind box' into the ancient prison-suppressing tower, looked up at Little Koi, who had stopped moving, and asked suspiciously, "Is that all?"

"No, there is one more item, but this item is not physical."

As she spoke, Little Koi took a dazzling golden light orb from the storage bracelet.

This light orb was ethereal, like mist.

It was wrapped around a golden core the size of a walnut, with countless wisps of golden mist wrapping around this walnut-sized golden core, rotating rhythmically.

Qin Xuan frowned slightly, "What is this thing?"

Even as a great villain, he had never seen such a thing.

He just inexplicably felt that this thing didn't look like anything good and was very unpleasant to the eye.

"I have never seen this thing before either." Little Koi shook her head. After hesitating for a long while, she said slowly, "In the Legacy of the Linglong Heavenly God, there seems to be some records. This might be Luck, ethereal Luck, but according to what the Linglong Heavenly God knew, even at her Realm, she could not seize the Luck of others."

Just then, the cold, mechanical voice of the System sounded again.

【Detected Ziyang Empire Luck. Does the host wish to devour it?】

【By devouring this Luck, the host can obtain a large amount of Villain Points.】

Hiss...

Hearing the System's prompt, Qin Xuan couldn't help but gasp.

This thing in front of him was actually the Luck of the Ziyang Empire!?

Crown Prince Zi Wuji was the Crown Prince of the Ziyang Empire and the next Great Emperor Ziyang.

His storage bracelet actually contained the stored Luck of the Ziyang Empire.

Was it bestowed by Great Emperor Ziyang, or did Crown Prince Zi Wuji use a special method to gather it, no longer content with the position of Crown Prince, secretly accumulating his own energy, waiting for the day to make Great Emperor Ziyang suffer the consequences!?

Regardless, this was a great Opportunity for him!

It was worth waiting for so long, just hoping to use Little Koi's hand to open this blind box.

He hit the jackpot!

And it was a dazzling purple-gold color!

What was there to hesitate about?

"Devour, devour it all, swallow it all down!"

As Qin Xuan gave the order, the golden Luck orb disappeared into the Seven-Colored Linglong Tower as if it didn't exist.

Immediately after, the Villain Point balance on Qin Xuan's interface began to skyrocket crazily.

The numbers rolled violently, continuing to rise.

After a full ten breaths, this growth finally stopped.

【Host】: Qin Xuan

【Villain Point balance】: 6.77 million points

【Cultivation】: Saint King Realm Early Stage

【Physique】: Chaos Hongmeng Body

【Cultivation Techniques and Precious Techniques】: "True Dragon Precious Technique" Perfection, "Phoenix Treasure Technique" Perfection, "Dragon-Elephant Domain-Suppressing Scripture" Major Achievement, "Tianhuang True Solution" Perfection, "Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation" Introductory, "Exquisite Heart-Burning Art" Introductory...

【Treasury】: ancient prison-suppressing tower (Emperor Weapon), heavenly desolation halberd (Emperor Weapon), saint-beating whip (quasi-Sacred Artifact)...

【Fellow Daoist】: Asura Clan Leng Li

【Pet】: Moo Moo (Earth Dragon), Alchemist Emperor

Looking at the skyrocketing Villain Point balance, Qin Xuan's eyes were full of surprise.

"I only had 770,000 Villain Points before. After devouring the Luck of the Ziyang Empire, it actually skyrocketed by six million points!"

It was nearly nine times more than the 670,000 Villain Points brought by slaughtering the yellow-quality Child of Luck Mo Hai!

Even Qin Xuan, this great villain, felt a sense of daze, like a poor man who had suddenly become rich.

"Consume six million Villain Points to Cultivate both the 'Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation' and the 'Exquisite Heart-Burning Art' to the Major Achievement stage!"

Before, his Villain Points were insufficient, so he only dared to think about upgrading both divine abilities to the Minor Achievement stage.

Now, with a balance of over six million Villain Points.

What was there to be stingy about?

Upgrade directly to Major Achievement!

In this God Ruins, he was not invincible in the King Realm.

There were still many strong enemies.

For example, Daoist Gu Jiuyou, Dao Child Leng Shang, and Daoist Xu Baijin from the Top Three Sects were not inferior to him in the King Realm.

Not to mention that the strongest, Daoist Xu Baijin, was not even in the top three of the king ranking.

Perhaps the gap in ranking after the top ten of the king ranking was not very large.

But the closer one got to the top, the greater the disparity.

The true top three of the king ranking, even for the current Qin Xuan, were probably not opponents he could defeat.

He had to improve his strength!

Only by becoming stronger could he accumulate original capital faster.

And let his strength achieve an explosive, snowball-like growth!

As six million Villain Points were deducted.

A large amount of cultivation information flowed crazily into his mind.

At this moment, it was as if he had comprehended hundreds, or even thousands of years of cultivation experience.

He had been immersed in these two divine abilities for thousands of years!

Both the "Exquisite Heart-Burning Art" and the "Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation" had been fully mastered and cultivated to the Major Achievement level of comprehension.

There was no discomfort; everything was as natural as water flowing!

When Qin Xuan opened his eyes, his deep gaze flashed and disappeared. Little Koi caught this abnormality and muttered curiously, "Husband, why do I feel that, in the time it took for you to open and close your eyes, a very long time has passed? It seems that even your temperament has undergone some changes."

"You must have seen it wrong." Qin Xuan laughed it off, adjusted his state of mind, and immediately asked, "You passed the 'Exquisite Heart-Burning Art' to me; are there any other candidates to act as guardians?"

"Feng Yao could study the 'Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation', but her aptitude is not as good as Daoist Gu Jiuyou of the Earth Sect. I think this Daoist Gu Jiuyou is a good candidate."

After all, Feng Yao and he had some friendship.

It would be somewhat embarrassing to push her out for no reason to be a beast of burden chosen by the Linglong Heavenly God.

Daoist Gu Jiuyou was different; Qin Xuan had no friendship with her.

Whether she became a beast of burden or not, he didn't care.

Little Koi took out a wisp of soul seal and sent it into Qin Xuan's mind, letting it dissipate on its own, and shook her head, "This 'Exquisite Heart-Burning Art', even for me, only has this one chance to be passed on. Without enough matching great medicinal herbs to Cultivate it, and without the means left by the Linglong Heavenly God, it is impossible for anyone else to Cultivate it."

Qin Xuan asked unexpectedly, "Why didn't you say that earlier?"

"Without a guardian, I can just Cultivate in the Land of Fallen Emperors. Furthermore, it is not certain that one needs the protection of a guardian to grow up." Little Koi smiled indifferently, "Besides, if we meet outside the God Ruins in the future, husband, you will protect me, won't you?"

Of course, what she said was pleasant to hear.

How could she ever bring trouble to her husband?

Once she broke through her Realm and her strength was sufficient.

She would appear by Qin Xuan's side, fight side by side with him, or even stand in front of him, facing thousands of strong enemies!

"Husband, the Seven-Colored Linglong Tower has restrictions. My time appearing in the God Ruins is not that casual. I may have to leave and return to the Land of Fallen Emperors."

Little Koi in front of Qin Xuan looked dejected.

She reached out her hand, wanting to stroke Qin Xuan's cheek.

Just as she was about to touch him, her body dissipated into light spots and gradually disappeared in front of Qin Xuan.

Only the faint warmth on her fingertips remained for a moment.

At the same time, the surrounding Heaven-Swallowing Carps also retreated from the God Ruins boundary along with Little Koi's disappearance.

"Sigh... this Little Koi, where is there any restriction on the Seven-Colored Linglong Tower? It is clearly because she exhausted too much energy when passing the 'Exquisite Heart-Burning Art' to you, causing her spiritual body to be unable to remain stable, and she had to retreat from the God Ruins."

When leaving the bitter sea, Leng Li had already regained her perception of the outside world.

She had seen everything that happened between Qin Xuan and Little Koi.

With a heartache, she also said softly with pity, "Before, I only thought that you saving her in the Land of Fallen Emperors was just looking for trouble."

"But I never expected that you would be able to find such a gentle piece of jade from the vast beach."

"It's just that momentary whim of the Heavenly Demon Scale, I fear that in this Little Koi's heart, you are already the only husband she has determined for this life."

Qin Xuan shook his head with heartache, "This Little Koi."

How to put it.

As a great villain, the dirtier his mind, the less he was willing to believe in that innocence.

Yet, Little Koi was truly such a Daughter of Luck who had no schemes, and was pure, clear, and wholeheartedly thinking of him.

In Qin Xuan's heart, there was a trickle of warmth, and his whole body felt an indescribable numbness.

At this moment, he finally understood why the "Three Hundred Nursery Rhymes" could be used as a demon-subduing manual.

Of course, this was only a momentary realization, a warmth directed only at Little Koi alone.

He looked at the transparent wall, focusing on Dao Child Leng Shang, who was sinking in the bitter sea, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became increasingly evil and charming.

"A blue-quality Child of Luck."

"Two whole grades higher than Mo Hai."

"Even Mo Hai provided me with 670,000 Villain Points, you better not let me down!"
