Chapter 407: Void Destruction, Obtaining a Breakthrough Pill

Some were choosing missions, some were forming teams, and others were discussing mission strategies.

Zhou Chen walked to the mission board and found the mission to clear out the Blood Wolf Valley.

"I want to accept this mission."

Zhou Chen said to the steward managing the missions.

The steward glanced at Zhou Chen and used his Divine Sense to probe his Realm.

"Venerable Realm Ninth Layer…"

The steward nodded: "You meet the mission requirements."

"However…"

He paused: "This mission requires a team to complete."

"The Blood Wolf King is at the Quasi-Immortal Realm First Layer, and there are dozens of Yao Beasts at the Venerable Realm."

"If you go alone, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous."

Zhou Chen shook his head: "Thank you for your concern, Steward, but I alone am enough."

The steward frowned: "Are you sure?"

"I am sure."

Zhou Chen nodded.

Seeing his firm attitude, the steward stopped trying to persuade him.

"Very well, since you insist, I won't stop you."

"Remember, the mission deadline is ten days."

"If you cannot complete it within ten days, it will be considered a failure."

He said seriously: "If you encounter life-threatening danger, immediately crush the distress talisman."

"The Sect will send an Elder to rescue you."

Zhou Chen took the mission token and the distress talisman: "Thank you, Steward."

He turned and left the mission hall, flying in the direction of the Blood Wolf Valley.

The Blood Wolf Valley is located on the outskirts of the Zixia Mountain Range, about thirty thousand li away from the Zixia Sect.

This is a desolate valley, shrouded in blood mist all year round, eerie and terrifying.

A group of Blood Wolf Yao Beasts are entrenched in the valley, led by a Blood Wolf King at the Quasi-Immortal Realm First Layer.

These Yao Beasts are vicious and bloodthirsty, often attacking nearby villages and causing heavy casualties.

Zhou Chen flew through the air and soon arrived at the outskirts of the Blood Wolf Valley.

He landed at the valley entrance and swept his Divine Sense across the entire valley.

"The Blood Wolf King is in the depths of the valley…"

"There are dozens of Venerable Realm Blood Wolves around it…"

Not long after entering the valley, he heard a burst of wolf howls.

"Awoo—"

Dozens of Blood Wolves rushed out from all directions, surrounding Zhou Chen.

These Blood Wolves were huge, with blood-red eyes, exuding a vicious aura.

Their Realms ranged from the Fifth Layer of the Venerable Realm to the Tenth Layer of the Venerable Realm.

"Good timing."

Void Destruction!

Dozens of spatial cracks appeared out of thin air, slashing towards the Blood Wolves.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft—"

The Blood Wolves couldn't even react before they were killed by the spatial cracks.

Blood gushed out, and corpses lay strewn about.

In just a short moment, dozens of Blood Wolves were instantly killed by Zhou Chen.

"Holy crap? This Immortal Rank Top-Grade Cultivation Technique is too terrifying."

Zhou Chen had only used less than one-tenth of his power, and he hadn't expected such terrifying lethality.

Soon, he arrived at the depths of the valley.

What came into view was a cave; the entrance alone was tens of thousands of zhang high, exuding a thick smell of blood.

A huge Blood Wolf was entrenched at the cave entrance.

That was the Blood Wolf King.

It was at the Quasi-Immortal Realm First Layer, its whole body exuding a terrifying aura.

"Roar—"

Seeing Zhou Chen, the Blood Wolf King let out a heaven-shaking roar.

It sensed that this human had killed its pack.

The Blood Wolf King was furious; its body turned into a streak of blood-colored light as it lunged at Zhou Chen.

Blood Claw Tears the Sky!

It swiped with its claw, which was wrapped in blood-colored light and contained terrifying power.

Zhou Chen did not dodge or evade.

"Tai Xu Domain!"

"Hum—"

An invisible Domain instantly expanded, covering the entire valley.

The Blood Wolf King's speed suddenly slowed, and its power was also weakened.

The Blood Wolf King's expression changed drastically, and it spoke in human language: "A Domain?"

"Void Destruction, slash!"

"Whoosh—"

A brilliant sword light slashed out from the spatial crack, containing the power to destroy everything.

The first move of the Void Divine Sword Technique was executed with full force.

It actually made the Quasi-Immortal Realm First Layer Blood Wolf King feel the threat of death, forcing it to desperately stimulate its Bloodline Power.

"Blood Wolf—Incarnation!"

Its body suddenly expanded, its aura soared, and its Realm rose from the Quasi-Immortal Realm First Layer to the Quasi-Immortal Realm Second Layer.

But it was still too late.

"Pfft!"

The sword light slashed onto the Blood Wolf King, splitting its body in two.

The Blood Wolf King let out a shrill scream and crashed to the ground.

"Hoo…"

Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

The Void Divine Sword Technique had immense power, but it also consumed a lot; just this first move had cost him fifty percent of his Immortal Spiritual Power.

Although the Blood Wolf King was only at the Quasi-Immortal Realm First Layer, its strength was indeed not weak.

If not for his Tai Xu Domain and the Void Divine Sword Technique, it would not have been easy to kill the Blood Wolf King.

Zhou Chen walked to the Blood Wolf King's corpse and began to loot the spoils of war.

The Blood Wolf King's Yao Beast core, the Blood Wolf King's fur, and so on…

Afterward, Zhou Chen put away the Medicinal Pill and turned to leave the Blood Wolf Valley.

Zixia Sect, mission hall.

Zhou Chen returned to the Sect and went to the mission hall to submit the mission.

"Junior Brother Zhou, you're back?"

The steward managing the missions saw Zhou Chen, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "It's only been five days, and you've already completed the mission?"

"Where is the Blood Wolf King?"

Zhou Chen took out the Blood Wolf King's Yao Beast core: "The Blood Wolf King has been killed; this is its Yao Beast core."

The steward took the Yao Beast core, and after probing it with his Divine Sense, his eyes were full of shock.

"It really is the Yao Beast core of a Quasi-Immortal Realm First Layer Blood Wolf King…"

"You… you killed the Blood Wolf King all by yourself?"

Zhou Chen nodded: "Just luck."

The steward looked deeply at Zhou Chen, his eyes filled with awe.

Killing a Quasi-Immortal Realm First Layer at the Venerable Realm Ninth Layer; this combat power was simply terrifying.

"Good, mission completed."

The steward recorded Zhou Chen's name in the mission register: "According to the regulations, you can receive one thousand contribution points and one Medium Grade Breakthrough Pill."

A pill that emitted a faint light.

That was the Breakthrough Pill.

A Medium Grade Immortal Rank Medicinal Pill; after consuming it, there is a thirty percent chance to break through a Realm Bottleneck.

He put the Breakthrough Pill into the System space.

Just then, the System's notification sound rang out.

[Congratulations to the Host for successfully intercepting Yun Xiaotian's Opportunity!]

[Triggered a hundredfold critical return!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: one Top-Grade Immortal King Breakthrough Pill!]

"Immortal King Breakthrough Pill…"

Zhou Chen was shocked inwardly: "A Top-Grade Immortal King Breakthrough Pill; it is rumored that it can guarantee a hundred percent Breakthrough to the Quasi-Immortal Realm and can also lay a supreme Immortal Foundation!"

However, it requires reaching the Tenth Layer of the Venerable Realm to be used, so Zhou Chen couldn't use it yet.

After returning to his Immortal Cave, Zhou Chen immediately set up a soundproofing Formation and a defensive Formation.

Then, he took the Breakthrough Pill out of the System space.

The Medicinal Pill emitted a brilliant light and contained incomparably pure Immortal Spiritual Power.

Zhou Chen swallowed the Medium Grade Breakthrough Pill in one gulp, and the terrifying medicinal power instantly turned into rolling heat, entering his internal organs.

Half an hour later.

"Bang."

With a muffled sound inside his body, Zhou Chen's Realm naturally advanced to the Tenth Layer of the Venerable Realm.

"The Foundation is solid; it is time to break through to the Quasi-Immortal Realm."

Feeling the vigorous reserves within his body, Zhou Chen took a deep breath.

The Quasi-Immortal Realm is the transitional stage from the Venerable Realm to the Immortal Realm.

Once he breaks through, his strength will have a qualitative leap.

Moreover, as a Quasi-Immortal Realm Cultivator, his influence and status in the Sect will also be greatly improved.

Zhou Chen sat cross-legged, circulated the Zixia Immortal Scripture, and adjusted the Immortal Spiritual Power within his body to its optimal state.
