Chapter 52: Chapter 52, Devouring the Core
At noon, the scorching sun was high in the sky.
It's already autumn, but within the Kunlun Mountains, it's still unbearably hot. After a night of running, Qin Ze was long since sweating profusely, his clothes soaked through. Feeling the aura on Heiyan beside him, he couldn't help but envy.
The Kunlun Mountains are more than sixty kilometers away from Qinghe City. From the periphery to the hinterland of the mountains, they have traveled nearly five hundred kilometers. Heiyan's face wasn't red, and he wasn't out of breath. There was no sign of any fluctuation in his aura.
Since Qin Ze mastered the Law of Aura, the auras of living beings within one kilometer around him couldn't escape his law perception. The law surpasses the rules and is above the cultivation methods. Those who can comprehend the law are all extremely insightful and powerful.
Although the Law of Aura seems a bit useless, it's not the case. During battles, Qin Ze can clearly sense the flow and operation of the opponent's aura within their body. Moreover, within one kilometer, he can detect the opponent. Although one kilometer is short, for experts, this is sufficient for thorough preparation.
Besides, the Law of Aura is only in its initial stage.
"The hinterland of the Kunlun Mountains is right ahead."
Heiyan looked nervously at the dim front, feeling chills running down his spine.
The chilly wind whistled, and there were constant howls and roars of demonic beasts, terrifying people and preventing them from daring to take even half a step forward.
The demonic beasts in the periphery of the Kunlun Mountains are all of low ranks. For Qin Ze, the challenge is not significant.
The experience points from low-rank demonic beasts are very low. Now, a hundred or so experience points are no longer enough for Qin Ze. Moreover, there are too many adventure teams in the periphery. Whenever they encounter one, a group of people immediately surrounds it.
It's just like the low-level monsters in the novice village. A large number of players are competing for one monster. Such a frustrating thing, Qin Ze doesn't want to do anymore.
Qin Ze took a deep breath, and a red light flashed in his eyes. He released the Law of Aura to sense the living beings within one kilometer around, to see if there are any high-rank demonic beasts hidden around.
Within a few breaths, Qin Ze was ready to step into the dim forest. Suddenly, Heiyan remembered something and said, "You should devour the core now and break through to the Gathering Spirit Realm as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be difficult to protect yourself inside."
"Devour the core?"
Qin Ze's eyebrows lifted in joy. He almost forgot about the core.
Qin Zhantian probed him several times, and his purpose was to find out if Qin Ze had devoured the core. How much power is hidden in the core? It's to the extent that even Qin Zhantian at the Tempering Gang Realm had to be somewhat wary.
Immediately, Qin Ze secretly activated his qi and consumed a few points. Suddenly, the core in the dantian became active again, flashing light, and the qi value instantly filled up.
"Source of magic power. It's definitely a source of magic power..."
Qin Ze was ecstatic in his heart and couldn't help but want to shout out loudly. With this thing, there was no need to worry about insufficient qi value. Releasing ultimate moves wasn't a problem. If I can't defeat you, I'll bombard you with ultimate moves.
"Awesome."
He was extremely happy, happier than a child during the New Year. Then, Qin Ze's willpower permeated into the dantian to see if he could control the core in the dantian. He discovered that his willpower could actually connect with the core. Another wave of ecstasy filled Qin Ze's heart. He immediately established a standard for releasing the qi value.
After adjusting it, Qin Ze's face showed joy and thought, "It's like a medicine cheat. Haha..."
Heiyan waited quietly on the side. Looking at Qin Ze's excitement, he smiled knowingly and was also happy for Qin Ze in his heart. Thinking of those deceased brothers, he silently said in his heart, "Brothers, we have another brother."
He truly regarded Qin Ze as a brother.
Qin Ze also sincerely regarded Heiyan as his elder brother.
After everything was done, Qin Ze glanced at Heiyan, his heart filled with gratitude.
If Heiyan, at the Tempering Gang Realm, wanted to seize Qin Ze's core, it would be as easy as turning his hand. The day they hunted the Violent Golden Ape, the core should have belonged to him. But he gave it to Qin Ze.
This was a great favor, and Qin Ze would remember it in his heart.
Towards enemies, one must know how to endure. When one becomes powerful, trample them mercilessly and not give them any chance to turn the tables.
Towards brothers, be sincere and loyal.
"How is it? Is the power of the core amazing?" Heiyan casually asked, cheerfully.
"Not just amazing. It's absolutely amazing." Qin Ze replied cheerfully.
Subsequently, both of them laughed and stepped into the dangerous place, the hinterland of the Kunlun Mountains!
