Super Gene Hunting Ground

Above Mingluo City, the space violently fluctuated.

Ten beams of light, each a hundred meters high, soared into the sky and converged mid-air, forming a massive energy region.

Gu Bo, wielding a ten-meter-long silver sword and dressed in special silver armor, flew up and landed beneath the enormous energy region.

With a wave of the longsword in his hand, a beam of light in the energy region was guided by Gu Bo’s longsword, and a thousand-meter-long killing aura shot towards Du Tiandemon in the distance like lightning.

Du Tiandemon suddenly felt a shock in his heart and saw the super killing aura approaching. He shouted violently, took out a golden shield, and activated a curved surface with a hundred-meter diameter to rush forward.

”Boom!”

The two killing auras collided, producing a loud explosion.

Yang Xiao had just flown into the mid-air and was pushed back several tens of meters by the intense fluctuation, hastily stabilizing his body.

Both Du Tiandemon and Elder Gu Bo shuddered fiercely and retreated about a hundred meters.

Du Tiandemon felt fresh blood surge to his throat, and though he forcibly suppressed it, a trail of blood still trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Inwardly, he marveled,

”What a powerful sword array killing aura!”

Gu Bo, on the other hand, felt a tightness in his chest, his blood surging, experiencing a sensation of suffocation.

Gritting his teeth, Gu Bo wielded the silver longsword again, slashing once more at Du Tiandemon in mid-air.

The sky was instantly split into two.

Du Tiandemon was momentarily panic-stricken, swiftly shifted and rushed towards the defense light screen above, punched through the light screen, and disappeared in an instant.

Seeing Gu Bo repel Du Tiandemon, the entire city erupted in cheers, the sound like thunder.

Second Elder and others flew to Gu Bo’s side, asking with concern:

”Great Elder, are you okay?”

Gu Bo nodded, suppressing his inner shock towards Du Tiandemon, and calmly said:

”I’m fine, just that the Heavenly Punishment Sword Formation didn’t activate in time and can’t move in battle, letting Du Tiandemon escape.”

Everyone said:

”As long as we can drive away Du Tiandemon, that’s good enough. Currently, only Mingluo City on Witch Star is considered a safe place. If this Heavenly Punishment Array can’t withstand Du Tiandemon, our Witch Star would indeed be completely defeated.”

Yang Xiao flew to Gu Bo, saying seriously:

”Elder, I fear this Heavenly Punishment Sword Formation won’t protect us for much longer.”

Everyone was startled, looking at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao said,

”I just took a look. It seems this Heavenly Punishment Sword Formation relies on the strong energy emitted from ten energy bases on the ground, and then uses your Heavenly Punishment Sword to guide the energy into combat, right?”

Gu Bo nodded,

”Yes, the rune power of the divine weapon at the Emperor Level realm is already at its limit and hard to surpass into the Saint Level. So, Artifact Refining Master and Array Master jointly built ten energy bases in Mingluo City, using the ability from these bases to elevate the power of the Heavenly Punishment Sword beyond Saint Level Supreme.”

”If I were Du Tiandemon, I would find a way to destroy these ten bases first. If even a few bases are destroyed, the power of the Heavenly Punishment Sword would be greatly weakened. By then, how would you fight Du Tiandemon?”

Gu Bo and the others nodded in agreement.

The ten bases naturally have special protection, but those protective measures can only deal with Emperor Level Supreme powerhouses and are powerless against a Saint Level Supreme like Du Tiandemon.

”I hear that Du Tiandemon has come three or four times already, and your Heavenly Punishment Sword Formation has been activated three or four times, so I think Du Tiandemon is likely looking for flaws in the Heavenly Punishment Sword Formation and finding ways to destroy it, which means there’s not much time left for Mingluo City.”

Gu Bo and the others listened, their expressions changing, and they fell into silence.

Yang Xiao’s words were not without reason, and this was also their ongoing concern.

”Before the main force of the Dwarf Star people arrives, it’s best to find a way to kill Du Tiandemon, allowing the people on Witch Star to enjoy the last quiet days. Otherwise, with Du Tiandemon constantly harassing, causing panic among the people, how can they live in peace?”

The Third Elder nearby sighed:

”We want to kill Du Tiandemon too, but how? The defense light screen can’t trap him; he comes and goes as he pleases. Right now, only the Heavenly Punishment Sword Formation can stop him a little.”

”Doesn’t the Heavenly Book Pavilion have a few seniors? We can ask them for help!”

Yang Xiao suggested.

Gu Bo and the others exchanged glances and finally sighed helplessly,

”It seems we can only do that. However, those senior elders are only at the Extraordinary Peak of the Emperor Level; to kill a Saint Level Supreme like Du Tiandemon would indeed be difficult.”

”This matter can’t be fought head-on. We need to use our brains!”

”Use our brains?”

Everyone looked at Yang Xiao in a confused manner.

”We’ve thought of every possible way, but Du Tiandemon is too powerful; small schemes can’t handle him.”

The Fifth Elder, Dean Gu Huang, said calmly,

”Leader Yang, do you have any good methods to kill Du Tiandemon?”

Yang Xia hesitated for a moment, then said:

”Give me some time to think about it. I’ll discuss it with everyone after I come up with a plan.”

Everyone leaped down from mid-air.

Yang Xiao returned to the Heavenly Book Pavilion, went up to the second floor, and began flipping through the cultivation notes left by the eight Saint Level Supreme seniors from five hundred years ago.

On the second floor, Yang Xiao saw six white-haired elders, each in a different position, fully engrossed in reading and studying the Genetic Evolution Method.

The arrival of Yang Xiao was unnoticed by the six elders on the second floor, as if Yang Xiao was just a wisp of air.

There were three elders on the first floor and six elders on the second floor, and the one elder practicing on the third floor they talked about, making a total of ten elders at the Peak Realm of the Emperor Level.

The Genetic Store being able to become the strongest organizational force on Witch Star Continent is no exaggeration!

Yang Xiao glanced over the bookshelf where specific markings were present, such as the Zun of Long Kan, indicating that the books on this shelf related to the cultivation insights of Zun of Long Kan.

Each Saint Level Supreme leaves behind only a few dozen cultivation notes, but later interpretations reached thousands.

It was akin to ”The Book of Changes” from the Xuanming Country’s ancient times, which had countless interpretations over the generations, with different readers and researchers having their own interpretations, leading to thousands of published readings.

As the former pinnacle among the eight Saint Level Supremes on Witch Star Continent, their cultivation notes naturally held an esteemed position of worship among later generations.

”This Zun of Long Kan should be a predecessor of the Long Family from the Great Dragon Empire.”

Yang Xiao mused, reaching for a copy of the original notes of Zun of Long Kan to read carefully.

This Zun of Long Kan entered genetic evolution cultivation at the age of five and broke through to Saint Level Supreme at eighty, becoming the strongest of the Great Dragon Empire.

In his cultivation insights, Zun of Long Kan mentioned completing the Flying Leopard Divine Skill, Heavenly Dragon Divine Skill, White Elephant Divine Skill, and Wind Eagle Divine Skill, the four genetic evolution techniques.

”As expected, completing all four genetic evolution techniques is necessary to break through to Saint Level Supreme. If the other seven sages did the same, it’s clear they too had to complete all four techniques.”

With this question in mind, Yang Xiao quickly went through the personal cultivation notes of the other seven sages, and indeed, they all completed the four genetic evolution techniques.

Yang Xiao glanced at a corner of the second floor, where a white-haired elder reclined on a sofa, engrossed in a book, occasionally waving his hand in the air. As his fingers moved, the air around him began to fluctuate intensely.

Elsewhere, an elder sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, practicing the mental method of genetic evolution.

...

All six elders on the second floor, whom Yang Xiao could observe, were reading and cultivating simultaneously.

”Including the three on the first floor, all ten elders in the Heavenly Book Pavilion have completed the four genetic evolution techniques. Why haven’t they broken through to Saint Level Supreme?”

Yang Xiao ran downstairs, found Gu Jie,

”Senior, have you all completed the four genetic evolution techniques?”

”Yes.”

”I just reviewed the cultivation experiences of the eight Saint Level Supremes. They all completed the four techniques before breaking through to Saint Level Supreme. Why haven’t you achieved this breakthrough?”

Gu Jie put down the book, looked at Yang Xiao with a disdainful expression,

”We’ve been asking that question for decades. I damn well want to know why too!”
