Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 848 - 816: The Greedy Heart

Aside from the Demon Race, appearing in Shanyang City were also some who seemed to be from the Demon Race, creatures like merfolk, and quite a number of races.

However, these races gathered in Shanyang City did not clash because of their differences, nor did they confront each other.

These numerous races of the Earth’s Cultivation Realm can coexist harmoniously, at least during the time Lu Ping observed, there were no outbreaks of conflict in Shanyang City.

Moreover, the strength of the creatures in Shanyang City, as Lu Ping quietly probed using his divine sense, included noting the figures appearing around the street, and the strongest among them was at the eighth layer of the Golden Core.

There are six creatures in the Golden Core Stage here!

Just upon arriving at an underground city, six Golden Core Stage creatures appeared; this is not at all simple!

Suffice to say, in the Chu Kingdom, there are hardly ten Golden Core Cultivators!

The overall strength of the Underground Cultivation Realm likely surpasses Lingxi State.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, after cultivating for over an hour, Lu Ping found that cultivation here is indeed far more efficient.

As the night deepened, the originally silent area outside gradually showed a figure stealthily approaching Lu Ping’s room.

Since it was the first night in this realm, unfamiliar with the surroundings, Lu Ping remained vigilant.

Thus, he constantly released his divine sense, monitoring the surroundings.

Whether it was the sound of wind rustling grass, insects chirping, birds calling, or the surrounding whispers, conversations, and the street’s hustle and bustle, Lu Ping could hear everything clearly, with extremely keen perception.

Lu Ping keenly perceived all these sounds.

When the approaching figure appeared, Lu Ping immediately noticed its presence, sensing it nearing the room’s door, pausing outside.

"A cultivator from the Dark River Sect."

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lu Ping opened his eyes, divine light shimmering in his gaze.

He clearly perceived through his divine sense that the figure appearing outside the door was a disciple from the Dark River Sect he had seen during the day.

This person was Xu Chi, the cultivator with the strongest early-stage Crystallization.

Why did this person come here at this time?

Lu Ping guessed in his heart but was not nervous about what the other might do.

He simply pretended not to notice, continuing to sit cross-legged, wanting to see what the other had up their sleeve.

Xu Chi paused outside the room, unfolding his divine sense to investigate Lu Ping’s actions.

"Seems to be cultivating, hasn’t detected my approach yet, really careless."

Xu Chi observed Lu Ping sitting cross-legged, unaware, and a smile involuntarily tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Family cultivators, how they are all hothouse flowers."

Concealing his footsteps, Xu Chi employed the Wall-Penetrating Technique, directly passing through the door, appearing inside the room.

He approached Lu Ping almost silently, as a specter.

Although Lu Ping was in a closed-eye state, he could clearly perceive Xu Chi’s every move.

Even the movement of the opponent’s hair and robes could be perceived with clarity.

At this moment, Lu Ping was quite curious why this person came here at this time.

What about himself was worth the opponent’s midnight intrusion?

The night was quietly deep, so much so that one could hear the faint footsteps of pedestrians outside the inn and the clinking of glasses from night drinkers.

Xu Chi approached Lu Ping, less than a yard from the bed, and greed gleamed in his previously calm eyes, gazing at the storage ring on Lu Ping’s left fingertip.

"This item in your hand will eventually be taken by somebody else, might as well fulfill me early."

Xu Chi laughed coldly to himself, determined to obtain the storage ring.

In his eyes, with Lu Ping’s Foundation Establishment Stage strength, it would be a piece of cake to silently eliminate him and destroy the body.

It posed no difficulty whatsoever.

Brimming with intense excitement and greed, Xu Chi manipulated his magical power, producing a small black sword, stabbing it towards Lu Ping’s forehead!

This small black sword, about palm-sized, slender, with a sharp tip, did not reflect any light even under the lantern’s glow, pitch black and unnoticeable.

The black sword thrust out, neared Lu Ping’s forehead, less than a finger’s distance.

Stabbing with indifference, in Xu Chi’s view, killing Lu Ping was no different from crushing an ant, with no trace of mercy.

Yet, before he could maintain his indifferent expression, it changed the next moment.

For the black sword, upon reaching Lu Ping’s face, was firmly stopped by an unknown force; unable to advance, unable even to touch Lu Ping.

The imagined scene where the black sword pierced Lu Ping’s head, killing him with a single blow, did not appear. Instead, something unexpected unfolded.

What was going on?

A defensive spiritual artifact?

Having advanced to the Crystallization Stage, Xu Chi naturally underwent many battles, and immediately speculated that Lu Ping surely possessed some kind of defensive spiritual artifact, automatically triggering to endure this fatal blow.

Indeed, this was just Xu Chi’s vain assumption.

Whoosh!

With the immense Dao Body of the Nascent Soul Stage, Lu Ping merely redirected some magical power, shielding himself effortlessly and stopping the sword’s assassination.

Failed in one strike, Xu Chi’s expression grew vicious; he disregarded any concealment and immediately released his magical power, withdrawing the black sword.

The black sword poised, under Xu Chi’s control, launched a sword technique, containing pure Crystallization magical power, slashing towards Lu Ping.

Lu Ping remained calm, not moving, merely unleashing his abundant magical power, clashing towards the slashing black sword.

Feeling the magical power sweeping over, Xu Chi’s expression immediately changed, revealing extreme shock.

"Golden Core Stage?!!"

He only felt this incoming magical power was overwhelmingly powerful, exceeding the Crystallization Stage, at least at the Golden Core Stage, instantly terrifying him!

Whoosh!

The formidable magical power accurately acted upon the black sword, shattering it instantly.

The magical artifact was destroyed; Xu Chi couldn’t even mourn it before the power encompassed him, suppressing him to kneel on the ground.

"Se... Senior!!"

Realizing the gap between himself and Lu Ping, Xu Chi now showed fear, sweat dripping from his forehead, trembling involuntarily.

"Spare my life, Senior!!!"
