In the fierce wind, Zhang Yuan wielded his halberd like a dragon.
Countless Wind-piercing Moths came along with the wind, their speed comparable to arrows leaving the bowstring, with razor-sharp mandibles flashing chilling gleams.
However, none could break through the interception of the Overlord Halberd!
The long halberd in Zhang Yuan’s hand swept up numerous illusions, the tip shaking off formidable flames, crushing the oncoming Wind-piercing Moths into smithereens, scattering into the wind with no trace.
At the same time, a vast amount of combat techniques from the Extreme Martial Golden Core surged forth, quickly integrating into Zhang Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness.
His mastery of the Overlord Halberd became increasingly skillful, and his techniques ever more exquisite.
The power of this High Tier Profound Soldiers was constantly being unleashed!
"Ha!"
In the heat of battle, Zhang Yuan suddenly glared and shouted angrily.
His yell was like thunder, instantly overpowering the howling gale, as the long halberd penetrated the barrier of air without any hindrance, stabbing into the swarming moth colony.
An invisible shockwave exploded abruptly, pulverizing all Wind-piercing Moths within dozens of steps around into dust!
The area in front of Zhang Yuan was cleared in an instant.
He couldn’t help but feel great satisfaction, letting out a long howl upwards.
Whether intimidated by Zhang Yuan’s overwhelming killing intent or due to heavy casualties, the other Wind-piercing Moths perceived a tremendous threat.
The once endless moth legion vanished in an instant.
Zhang Yuan waited for a moment, but no Wind-piercing Moths entered his sight.
He put away the Overlord Halberd and continued onward against the gusty wind.
Although the Wind-piercing Moths no longer appeared, the gales within the valley became increasingly dangerous, continuously eroding Zhang Yuan’s Protective Armor and wearing down his strength bit by bit.
In such a situation, Zhang Yuan had no choice but to enhance the power of the Black Giant Ant’s boost.
Only then could he barely maintain his speed of advancement.
But after advancing just about a hundred steps, Zhang Yuan felt the wind pressure intensifying again, pressing and rubbing his body from all directions.
As the pressure increased, the Protective Armor showed signs of fluctuation and distortion.
At that moment, Zhang Yuan deeply felt the terrifying power of nature!
Yet there was no thought of giving up within his mind.
To maintain the defensive power of the armor, Zhang Yuan had to retract the external Gang Qi, letting the armor cling tightly to his skin, to reduce energy consumption.
However, this inevitably meant his body had to endure some of the wind pressure.
Zhang Yuan resolutely activated the Six Harmonies Qilin Body!
In the next moment, his muscles swelled suddenly, with tendons protruding beneath his skin, and countless dark golden Qilin Armor Patterns manifested on his skin’s surface.
Within a few breaths, Zhang Yuan’s entire body, including his head and face, was covered with 375 pieces of Qilin Armor!
Each piece of Qilin Armor was thicker than a finger, extremely tough to the utmost degree.
Not only that, all Qilin Armor perfectly integrated with Zhang Yuan’s Gang Qi.
Materializing into a set of Qilin Gang Armor!
Once the Qilin Gang Armor formed, the terrifying gusts in Storm Valley exerted much less pressure and threat on Zhang Yuan.
As a result, his pace quickened.
It seemed as if the valley was angered by Zhang Yuan’s persistence, as the howling winds were now filled with ghostly wails.
Large patches of chaotic rocks appeared in his sight.
One could see massive black rocks scattered throughout the valley, blocking Zhang Yuan’s path.
These rocks leaned against each other and overlapped, forming numerous cavities.
As the wind roared through these holes at high speed, they emitted various eerie noises, making one feel as if thrust into a terrifying purgatory.
What’s more, some rock caves unexpectedly spewed invisible wind blades!
These wind blades interwove a massive net within the valley, sharply striking Zhang Yuan the moment he entered, causing sparks to shoot up from his protective Qilin Gang Armor.
It was the result of wind blades ferociously colliding with the armor and exploding!
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yuan was hit by at least a hundred wind blades.
The surface of the Qilin Gang Armor was lined with fine cracks and scars.
Although these damages could be compensated for with Gang Qi, the Gang Qi in Zhang Yuan’s Qi Sea Dantian was not infinite.
Over time, he was bound to be unable to sustain it!
Zhang Yuan, without hesitation, elevated the boost power of the Golden Grasshopper to twenty-five times.
He suddenly performed the Carefree Travel body technique, relying on his strong perception and speed to dodge back and forth in the wind, skillfully evading the surprise attacks of the wind blades.
Simultaneously, Zhang Yuan began a thorough search amidst the piles of rocks.
Searching for the existence of the Blood Orchid!
His intuition told him that within this vast array of rocks, there was a high possibility of finding his target.
To enhance his efficiency, he also activated Red-eyed Crow’s special vision.
Although the Red-eyed Crow was still dormant, this Extraordinary Ability could be triggered through the Divine Nest.
Zhang Yuan’s vision underwent a dramatic transformation instantly.
While dodging wind blades and braving the fierce wind, he left no possible spot unchecked.
As the saying goes, "effort pays off for those who persist," and after searching over a hundred rocks, a dark red hue suddenly caught his eye.
Although this hue was extremely dim, almost blending into the surrounding environment.
In Zhang Yuan’s special perspective, it was as conspicuous as a candle in the night.
Zhang Yuan’s spirit soared!
It was a stone cave formed by four or five huge rocks intersecting and overlapping, the inside pitch black and unclear.
But at the entrance grew a small orchid plant.
This orchid was only a few inches tall, with three dark red leaves sprouting from its roots. Despite the raging wind around, it stood firmly rooted, displaying immense vitality.
Comparing with the information in his memory, Zhang Yuan confirmed that this was the Blood Orchid he was seeking.
Suppressing his excitement and thrill, he stealthily moved towards the stone cave.
However, just as Zhang Yuan approached the entrance, a sudden warning struck his heart!
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Yuan abruptly drew his saber and slashed forward with lightning speed.
Snap!
The Taowu Saber struck something invisible, erupting into a dazzling burst of light.
In the next moment, a nearly transparent long snake revealed its form! freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Zhang Yuan was taken aback.
Because in the information provided by Wulan Tuya, there was no record of such a creature.
This peculiar long snake was as thick as an arm, with a pair of wings thin as cicada’s wings on its sides, a triangular head, and a small pair of horns on its forehead.
With the sharpness of the Taowu Saber and Zhang Yuan’s strength, this slash only brought the Exotic Snake to the ground.
It did not inflict a fatal injury!
[Discovery of a containable Genetic Body!]
In Zhang Yuan’s vision, a notification bar suddenly appeared.
Zhang Yuan was momentarily stunned.
Undoubtedly, the reaction of the Divine Nest could only stem from this Exotic Snake.
But the reaction of the Divine Nest was evidently somewhat delayed.
Or perhaps, this Exotic Snake was simply too fast!
In just the blink of an eye, the Exotic Snake that had just landed was gone in an instant.
