The injuries of a spirit body could not be healed by normal means. It would probably take a long time to recuperate, but the exact amount of time was uncertain.
Although it was safe to hide here, Lu Ye could not really stay here for too long.
After some thought, he took out a jade bottle from his storage space.
Inside the bottle was the last remaining half of his bottle of Soul Cleansing Water. There were less than ten drops left. He had originally kept this for emergency use, but in this situation, he couldn't care less about it.
Opening the bottle, the unique fragrance of the Soul Cleansing Water wafted out. Smelling it, Lu Ye felt refreshed, and even the fatigue that troubled him seemed to have dissipated.
This made him even more certain that the Soul Cleansing Water was the best medicine for his current condition.
He did not dare to consume too much, only taking one drop. A warm feeling instantly spread throughout his body, and the fatigue in his body and mind dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the injuries on his body were rapidly healing.
Indeed, the Soul Cleansing Water was extremely effective in healing the injuries of a spirit body.
After resting for another two hours, Lu Ye finally got up when he was completely healed.
Walking to the door, he peeked through the gap.
Most of the insects that were chasing him previously had disappeared, and there were only a few wandering aimlessly on the streets. To the current him, they were not much of a threat.
Since he was going to the City Lord Mansion, the most important thing now was to confirm his location.
But before that, there were some things that Lu Ye wanted to confirm.
Previously, when he was fighting with the insects, he felt something strange. But at that time, he was busy running for his life and did not have the time to verify it.
Now that he had this special building to rely on, even if he encountered any danger, he could escape back here to hide. Therefore, Lu Ye wanted to know if the abnormalities he felt before were the same as what he thought.
If they were, then perhaps he could use some techniques that he could not normally use.
He took some time to check his battlefield imprint, and found that the number of battle merits had increased to more than 3000 …
Although this number was not little, it was not much either. One must know that he had killed many insects, and there was no lack of True Lake Stage ones.
From the looks of it, the battle merits were calculated based on his current True Lake Stage strength. Therefore, even if he killed a True Lake Stage insect, the battle merits he would obtain wouldn't be much.
This made Lu Ye a little disappointed. If the Battle Merits were calculated based on his Fifth Order Cloud River Realm cultivation, then the Battle Merits he could have obtained in the previous battle would have been several times higher.
But on second thought, it was already an unexpected gain to be able to obtain merit points in this place. What was there to be dissatisfied about?
Although more than three thousand battle merits were not much, it was enough to exchange for two blue spirit lots. Moreover, this was just the beginning. If his plan could be carried out, he would definitely obtain more and more battle merits in the future. Perhaps after this time, he would be able to exchange for a lot of golden spirit lots, allowing his cultivation to rise again.
Pushing open the door, Lu Ye immediately constructed the concealment and aura-concealing spirit runes to conceal himself.
The commotion alerted the few insectoids, but they didn't notice anything when they turned around. They didn't pay any more attention to the commotion and continued to wander around.
The insectoids had all kinds of strange shapes. Some insectoids had the same form as Monster Beasts. At first glance, they looked no different from Monster Beasts, but in fact, they weren't Monster Beasts at all.
There were also some insectoids that had a unique form that completely defied common sense.
But without exception, all insectoids had one thing in common, and that was that their bodies were covered with thick carapaces and their blood was green in colour.
The stronger the insectoid, the stronger the protection provided by its carapace. Therefore, killing insectoids was a technical job. One had to attack the areas without carapace as much as possible in order to cause effective damage.
Lu Ye had honed his skills many times in the Mirage, so he knew the weaknesses of various types of insectoids like the back of his hand.
His target this time was an insectoid that looked like a centipede. Its back was covered with dense white carapaces that looked like white bones. More than a hundred pairs of legs crawled around, emitting a dense sound.
What Lu Ye wanted to verify wasn't complicated, but in order to ensure the results were accurate, he didn't attack the insectoid immediately. Instead, he waited quietly.
After a long while, the centipede finally calmed down and quietly coiled up in the ruins of a building, motionless.
Lu Ye quietly approached until he was only three feet away from the insectoid before he stopped.
The quiet atmosphere was suddenly broken. The moment Lu Ye's energy surged, the centipede insectoid realized that something was wrong. But before it could react, the space in front of Lu Ye suddenly distorted. An arrow-like object flashed by and viciously slammed into the centipede's head, disappearing in an instant.
In that instant, the centipede insectoid seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. Its ten meter long body rolled and twisted violently as a mournful hiss came from its mouth.
Lu Ye's figure appeared. The Mountain Pan Saber was already out of its sheath. Taking advantage of the insectoid's struggle, the saber slashed down.
Green blood spurted out and a huge head flew up. A True Lake Stage insectoid died just like that.
Lu Ye's expression was calm, but his eyes were filled with joy. This was because he realized that what he felt previously wasn't an illusion. It was real!
Previously, when he was escaping and fighting with the insectoids, he had imbued his Mountain Pan Saber with the Sharpness Spirit Rune. At that time, he had a strange feeling because the Sharpness Spirit Rune was different from usual.
In the past, the Sharpness Spirit Rune needed to be imbued on a spirit weapon to make it sharper.
Of course, it could also be imbued on other places. But no matter what, it needed a carrier to be effective.
But the Sharpness Spirit Rune used in the Immortal Essence City didn't seem to need a carrier …
At that time, Lu Ye realized something. This Spirit Rune was imbued with spiritual energy, which meant that it was a pure Spirit Rune. But the power he was imbuing now wasn't just spiritual energy, it was also the power of his soul …
And a Spirit Rune imbued with the power of his soul was a God Rune!
Therefore, the Sharpness Spirit Rune didn't need a carrier because a God Rune imbued with the power of his soul was a killing technique.
That was what Lu Ye wanted to verify.
Reality proved that his intuition wasn't wrong. In this environment, the God Rune he imbued with the power of his soul was indeed a God Rune that could kill his enemies directly.
The arrow-like thing that flashed by just now was the manifestation of the Sharpness Spirit Rune.
Moreover, compared to the slash of the Mountain Pan Saber, this kind of God Rune was especially fierce against the insectoids. Fundamentally speaking, this was a God Rune attack. The insectoids' biggest weakness was their low intelligence, so they didn't have much defense against this kind of God Rune attack.
When the arrow formed by the Sharpness Spirit Rune crashed into the insectoid's brain, it had already caused great damage to its already weak intelligence. This kind of sudden attack was as if the insectoid's soul was being torn apart.
The insectoid's body was covered with a thick carapace. In the face of this kind of invisible attack, there was no way it could provide any protection.
Under normal circumstances, even if Lu Ye could kill this insectoid, it would take some effort. But with the help of the Sharpness Spirit Rune, he killed it with a single slash.
After verifying his idea, Lu Ye was excited.
In such an environment and in such a place, the God Rune attack could definitely have an unexpected effect. If he had known this earlier, he might not have been in such a difficult situation.
But before this kind of thing was verified, how could he act rashly? At that time, he was busy running for his life. Any negligence could lead to eternal damnation.
After all, he was just a Fifth Order Cloud River Realm cultivator. Even if he had the strength of a True Lake Realm cultivator now, he was still far from being able to use the power of his soul. That was a method that could only be used by Spirit Sea Realm cultivators.
But in this specific environment, Lu Ye had mastered the capital that only Spirit Sea Realm cultivators could use.
He couldn't help but think of what Madame Yun had said before.
Although Battle Rune Masters were difficult to deal with before reaching the Spirit Sea Realm, it was more reflected in the variety of fighting styles. In the process of fighting, Battle Rune Masters could activate various Spirit Runes of different natures to make their opponents feel the dangers of the world.
After reaching the Spirit Sea Realm, Battle Rune Masters were not only difficult to deal with. In many cases, their opponents might not even know how they died.
In short, after reaching the Spirit Sea Realm, an excellent Battle Rune Master could exert far more strength and deterrence than ordinary Spirit Sea Realm cultivators.
The reason was that Battle Rune Masters could activate Divine Runes after reaching the Spirit Sea Realm, which could turn into various kinds of Soul attacks.
Other Spirit Sea Realm cultivators had such means, but how could they compare with Battle Rune Masters?
The Sharpness Divine Glyph that was activated with the power of his God's Soul displayed great lethality. The abnormality here also alerted the other Insectoids that were wandering nearby, and they all gathered here.
Lu Ye raised his Mountain Blade and charged towards the nearest insectoid. As he charged forward, the Divine Rune of Sharpness activated once more. Space distorted as the arrow-like object flashed once more. Before the insectoid could even get close to Lu Ye, it suddenly collapsed to the ground, shrieking incessantly.
When Lu Ye rushed to it, it didn't realize the danger at all. With a sweep of his Mountain Saber, another Insect was killed.
Not all spiritual inscriptions were suitable to be activated by the power of the Divine Soul. For example, the Sharp Defense could be used. One could be used as a Divine Soul attack, while the other could be used as a Divine Soul barrier to block the Divine Soul attack of others.
However, Spirit Runes like Sunshine, Blood Stain, and Wind Travel had no special effect even when activated by Soul Power.
However, Spirit Runes like Heavy Pressure, Spike, and Slash could all be turned into Divine Runes, which had different effects.
Heavy Pressure could give the Insect an illusion that its consciousness couldn't bear the weight. Spike was similar to Sharpness, which could cause great damage to the Insect's Soul.
Mirage Divine Runes didn't cause any damage, but they could make the Insect fall into some illusions for a short time.
On the street, Lu Ye kept using all kinds of Divine Runes to test their effects. One Insect after another was killed. (To be continued)
