Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

The surrounding poisonous miasma relentlessly pursued them once more.

The crows led the way, dispelling the poisonous miasma as they went.

Lu Cheng glanced at Zhang Lexuan behind him. The beauty had a stubborn look in her eyes. Even though she had already exhausted her soul power and her legs were weak, she was unwilling to say a word. She just followed desperately, her face pale with exhaustion, a few strands of messy hair stuck to her forehead with sweat, and she was panting heavily.

"waste."

Lu Cheng uttered two words.

Zhang Lexuan turned her head away, gently biting her red lips, her eyes slightly red.

The next moment, she was pulled into Lu Cheng's arms.

Follow closely behind the crow.

"..."

Zhang Lexuan stiffened at first, then went limp, but her neck remained straight and her face turned away, refusing to look at Lu Cheng. This was her last act of stubbornness.

She sensed the man's powerful aura; his clothes were as clean and fresh as ever, without the bloody smell she had expected.

Just like when she was a child, she would grab his collar, curl up in his arms, and keep sniffing his scent, which fascinated her.

"arrive!"

Several minutes passed.

The crow paused.

The surrounding poisonous miasma suddenly dissipated.

Seemingly sensing the crow's formidable strength and the terrifying power of its dark energy, the numerous Azure Phosphorous Seven Absolute Flowers surrounding the valley trembled in fear, no longer daring to be arrogant.

"It's actually true..." the crow exclaimed in amazement.

Lu Cheng abandoned Zhang Lexuan, ignored her, and walked straight inside.

The woman's complexion improved considerably. Gazing at Lu Cheng's retreating figure, her eyes were filled with stubbornness as she limped on to follow him.

"Who dares to trespass here!"

A voice, though blustering, lacked substance; one could tell from the tone that it was not truly confident.

It is true.

Although many of the immortal herbs here have a cultivation period of 100,000 years, they are all domesticated poultry and greenhouse flowers, lacking any combat experience whatsoever, not to mention that they are simply not suitable for combat...

When faced with the dark energy of crows, one can only tremble in fear.

They were terrified of being wiped out completely.

"Who are you?" Lu Cheng asked, looking at the large pink flower.

"I am the master of this place. Considering that you have stumbled in by mistake, I will spare your lives. Leave quickly..." Youyou stared intently at Lu Cheng and the others, her voice solemn, but the petals were trembling.

“Youyou?” Lu Cheng continued.

"..."

"How did you know?!" Youyou exclaimed in shock. "You recognize me?"

“I am naturally familiar with the renowned Fragrant Silk Fairy Product,” Lu Cheng said with a smile.

"Cough cough cough, am I really that famous outside? Hehe..." Youyou said with a silly laugh.

“Youyou…” A large, fiery red flower appeared in the Yin-Yang of Ice and Fire, and the voice was somewhat helpless.

They obviously knew that they couldn't rely on this idiot in this kind of thing.

He then asked, "What brings you three here?"

“Give him a magical herb that is suitable for dark attributes.”

Lu Cheng pointed at the crow and spoke softly.

"it is good!"

Without a word, Jiaojiao opened her fiery red petals and handed over a dark purple flower.

"This is a pure dark-attribute immortal herb called the Black Demon Flower. His soul rings are already full, so there is no need for him to absorb an immortal herb with cultivation."

Lu Cheng nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He gestured for the crow to take it.

"Swallow it, and I will protect you."

"it is good!"

The crow accepted the dark purple flower, his eyes filled with fervor and excitement, his voice trembling slightly. He had been cultivating dark energy for decades, stuck at the peak of level ninety-four. If there were no further changes in the future, he feared he would never be able to break through this threshold even in his entire life.

But now... an opportunity has arisen.

He took a deep breath and didn't waste any more words.

He took the dark purple flower and swallowed it whole.

Dark energy instantly scattered and overflowed, darkening the entire valley and condensing into a massive black raven with blood-red pupils overlooking the many immortal herbs.

"..."

"Do you have any other requests?" Jiao Jiao asked softly.

"I want you, my fiery and delicate beauty." Lu Cheng stared intently at her, his eyes serious.

"What did you say?" Even Jiao Jiao was a little confused: "Human, I am a 100,000-year-old soul beast. At your age, you probably can't even reach the Soul Saint realm. Even if I sacrifice myself, you will be bursting."

"Wrong..."

Lu Cheng smiled.

One by one, they slowly rose from the soles of their feet.

His aura as a peak Contra master was on full display; even though he was heavily injured, his sharpness was still undeniable.

Jiaojiao's pupils suddenly contracted.

Such extraordinary talent.

He seems even more perverted than that person from back then.

“I am confident that I can become a god. If you offer yourself as a sacrifice to me, I will grant you eternal life,” Lu Cheng said with a smile, extending his hand.

"Become a god..." Jiao Jiao trembled violently.

Those two soul beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest, after sacrificing themselves to that person, also ascended to heaven and became high-ranking officials, enjoying endless lifespans.

Moreover, if she truly becomes a god... she can break free from the constraints and imprisonment here and freely venture into the outside world.

This is indeed a great temptation.

But she was still hesitant.

After all, it all happened too suddenly.

"Om..."

Half an hour later, the dark energy around the crow gradually returned to its body, becoming noticeably purer and stronger, which seemed to be a sign of the sublimation of its martial soul.

In the next instant, the dark black raven underwent a dramatic transformation. Its black wings were engraved with intricate patterns, and its blood-red eyes became even more eerie.

"Drink!"

The crow trembled violently.

"Cool!"

The sound echoed throughout the entire canyon.

Her eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at Lu Cheng.

The bottleneck that had plagued him for decades was easily broken at this moment, as if water had naturally flowed into a channel. Moreover, the improvement brought by this immortal herb was far more than just his cultivation level.

There's also the quality of the martial spirit.

This is the most terrifying part of the fairy herb.

In other words, his potential has been raised to an unlimited extent in the future.

Even a Limit Douluo might not be unable to make a run for it.

"Level 96, breaking through two levels in a row?" Lu Cheng revealed a smile.

"Thank you so much this time..." Crow nodded slightly to Lu Cheng, his eyes brimming with excitement.

This debt of gratitude can never be repaid.

"Hehe, so affected," Lu Cheng said with a faint smile.

He looked at Jiaojiao again.

But the latter spoke first: "I am willing to offer myself as a sacrifice."

"No, I mean... her."

Lu Cheng seemed to have expected this, and pointed to Zhang Lexuan behind him: "Give her a fairy herb too."

"Okay." Jiaojiao nodded.

Jiaojiao glanced at Lu Cheng, then at Zhang Lexuan: "Want to try the Acacia Heartbreak Red?"

Chapter 25 Heartbreaking Red of Longing

"The Red of Heartbreak and Longing?" Zhang Lexuan was taken aback at first, then a blush rose on her pretty face as she secretly glanced at Lu Cheng in front of her.

"What do you need that for?" Lu Cheng frowned slightly. "Something to enhance her martial spirit... as a whetstone for me. If it's too weak, it would be beneath me."

"A Moon Martial Soul? Then let's try this..." Jiao Jiao, observing the situation, quickly handed over a pale blue fairy herb.

But Zhang Lexuan did not reach out to take it.

She just stood there quietly, her pretty face full of stubbornness.

"I want the Acacia Heartbreak Red," Zhang Lexuan said, staring intently at Lu Cheng, enunciating each word clearly.

"You want one..." Lu Cheng said coldly, looking at the stubborn beauty, but she did not back down and met his gaze.
