In the world of martial arts, one works tirelessly to attain enlightenment.

Chapter 154, Annihilation of the Alien Race, Advancement

The ancestral home of the tree demon.

boom!

A golden fist collided with black stone vines.

After a moment of silence, the impact, mixed with spiritual energy, formed turbulent currents that rushed in all directions. Several meters within a radius of several hundred meters were instantly reduced to ashes, and many more trees were torn into pieces, which flew into the air.

After a brief standoff between the golden light and the stone vines, the vines gradually retreated, suppressed by the golden light.

Upon seeing this, the tree demon patriarch suddenly shrank his massive body by a third, and then a second black stone vine grew from within, lashing out fiercely at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran glanced at it, then used her other fist to smash the vine.

boom!

After the loud bang, the stone vines were blasted backward, their surface covered with dense cracks, and then they shattered into pieces with a crash.

Another stone vine pressed forward, taking advantage of Lin Ran's shifting of power, and struck him heavily in the chest.

However, it only emitted a sound like the ringing of a bell, without even breaking the golden pillar of light around its body.

Lin Ran turned around, grabbed Jian Linglong's natal flying sword from a distance, and then slashed at the tree demon clan leader.

His pupils revealed a dim and flickering color, and an invisible force spread outwards before disappearing into thin air.

The tree demon chieftain summoned a large number of vines to fight off the attack, but suddenly realized that the surroundings had become solidified, making movement extremely difficult, as if he had suddenly entered some kind of solid from the air.

It was slightly stunned, not yet realizing what had happened, and subconsciously urged the force in its power zone to impact the force that was preventing it from moving.

But by then, the flying sword had already landed.

Clang!

A three-hundred-meter-long sword aura appeared out of thin air, surrounded by a blood-red glow, and a bloody aura emanated from it.

The sword energy, like a crescent moon, touched the tree demon chieftain's vines from top to bottom, slicing them off one by one as easily as cutting tofu, before falling into the tree demon chieftain's body.

The tree spirit chieftain mobilized his power in an attempt to stop the sword energy, but his body was frozen by an unknown force, preventing him from moving much.

Then, the sword energy crashed down, piercing through its body and striking its core hidden in the corner.

Snapped!

The core of the tree demon chieftain was cut open with a deep crack, almost splitting it in two.

The tall trees paused for a moment, then lost control and slowly fell to the ground.

Lin Ran used her flying sword to travel through the body of the tree demon chieftain for a while, cut off the crystal, examined it briefly, and then put it into her storage ring.

Look around again.

Jian Linglong gripped her own body, cleaved the last fourth-tier tree demon in two, and with a single sword stroke, extracted its core, handing it to the Spirit Lord.

"Captain, it's all taken care of."

Jian Linglong led the Spirit Master over and spoke to Lin Ran, her cold voice making her seem unapproachable.

Lin Ran nodded and handed the tree demon clan chief's crystal to the Spirit Lord.

"Alright, Spirit Lord, keep tracking down the remaining tree demons; don't let a single one escape."

"good!"

Three hours later.

The last tree spirit was killed by Lin Ran, and the original forest area became pitted and uneven, with hardly any intact trees to be found.

Lin Ran ascended to a high altitude and used his Truth Eye Technique to observe the area below, confirming that no tree demon was lingering on.

Then, with the Spirit Lord's guidance, they found the treasure vault of the Tree Demon clan.

After looting everything and leaving, Lin Ran suddenly stopped and set up a power, a barrier to conceal his presence.

He reached out and touched his brow, and a point of golden light appeared, transforming into the shape of an eye.

Its golden eyes are the size of normal human eyes, but they instinctively inspire fear, making people afraid to approach and even submit.

Human Race's Heavenly Eye - Split!

Lin Ran bowed to it, and then received a message.

Because he annihilated a race, the human realm received his good fortune and thus sent him a reward to encourage him to continue annihilating other races.

The rewards were presented as a list, one of which Lin Ran valued most.

The workings of Heaven!

As the name suggests, the Heavenly Dao of the human race's mother realm allocated a tiny amount of computing power to help him advance the progress of a certain cultivation technique.

This is of great use to those with extraordinary abilities.

After all, each extraordinary person's cultivation method is tailored to themselves and has evolved step by step, with almost no overlap.

While avoiding disputes, this also led to another problem.

Progress is slow!

Therefore, extraordinary individuals, and even the four pillars of the human race, place extra importance on the predictive abilities of the human race's mother realm.

Because this involves a great deal of extraordinary technology, simple supercomputing cannot yield results.

Due to insufficient technological capabilities, much data cannot be observed, and quantum computers are unable to perform calculations, leaving humanity to rely solely on the natural order.

Lin Ran immediately decided to switch to the Heavenly Dao divination.

After the Heavenly Eye confirmed the split, a golden, semi-transparent cube, about one centimeter in diameter, was extracted from its pupil and landed in front of Lin Ran.

Then the Heavenly Eye split apart and returned to its golden light imprint state, returning to its center of the forehead.

Lin Ran didn't want things to drag on any longer.

"Linglong, Spirit Master, protect me."

"it is good."

Set up the spiritual energy shield and the technological energy shield generator.

Lin Ran sat cross-legged in the air. After a slight hesitation, she chose the [Four Pillars Yuan Method] as her deduction technique.

The Eight Gates Formation is extremely powerful in combat; perhaps this simulation will allow us to open the fifth gate.

However, he is not currently in the human realm, and the extraordinary beings outside are not as easy to talk to as humans.

Overall, the [Four Pillars of Destiny - Earth - Luck] attribute is actually more important!

After being selected, the golden crystal moved slightly, melted into a drop of golden liquid, and disappeared into Lin Ran's mental space.

Lin Ran's body trembled, and her mind instantly became clear. Her thinking speed was faster than ever before, and everything in the outside world seemed to slow down dozens of times.

Various pieces of information about the Four Pillars of Destiny method appeared in my mind one after another.

Lin Ran focused all her attention on the Earth attribute, and gained experience very quickly.

The skill panel experience boost is comprehensive, so you don't have to worry about the other three attributes falling behind.

Soon, Lin Ran was completely immersed in it, and didn't even look at the experience refresh notification.

I don't know how much time passed.

The effects of the golden liquid wore off, and his thought process returned to normal.

Lin Ran also woke up, feeling somewhat lost. It was as if a thick fog had been shrouded in her vision, and what was once clearly visible was now completely obscured.

After a moment of blankness, he collected his thoughts and returned to normal.

Bring up the skill panel.

【Four Pillars of Destiny Method - Fourth Level → Fifth Level LV1: 10/500】

"..."

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, and after checking his realm several times, he finally confirmed that he had indeed advanced to the mid-level Divine Fire Realm!

He has a skill panel, and his cultivation progress is linked to his understanding of the cultivation techniques, or rather, most cultivators are like that.

Cultivation is like paving a road; the level you reach determines the level of strength you possess.

A while later.

Lin Ran snapped out of her daze, her lips curving upwards in a wild smile, almost bursting into laughter.

He then sensed the changes in the Four Pillars of Destiny method.

Earth-attribute spiritual energy surged and gathered, and the moment it took shape, a golden light flashed, transforming into the shape of a semi-transparent gold coin.

Then, the fire elemental energy surged and gathered, transforming into an exquisite and beautiful jade pendant.

The wind spirit energy transformed into a seemingly ancient bronze key.

The water elemental energy transformed into a black-covered book with the four large characters "Book of the Sea" on its surface.

Lin Ran pondered. The current Four Pillars Yuan Method must have different effects than what Lin had mentioned before, right?
