Cosmic-Level Demon God-Chapter 267 - 171: The Mage’s Supermodel, the Warrior’s Stats!

Chapter 267: Chapter 171: The Mage’s Supermodel, the Warrior’s Stats!

The sudden attack of the burly man caused Qin Shi to pause his assault.

He slowly released the bowstring, murmuring to himself:

"This guy is brave! Swinging a hammer directly, is he planning to smash to death the evolution stage boss level Rust Beast?!"

As Qin Shi’s thoughts flickered, that extremely towering figure, carrying a weighty momentum like wind and thunder, fearlessly charged towards the Boss Level creature guarded by the beast horde.

Boom!

It was as if a massive bomb exploded, and the first to bear the brunt were the Rust Beasts!

The dozen or so Rust Beasts closest to the impact were instantly shattered by the shockwaves, turned into large patches of rotten flesh!

The high temperature radiated, spreading instantly, scorching flames shooting several meters high, making the cliff rocks crackle!

"Indeed, the energy barrier of the evolution stage isn’t that easy to break."

From his high vantage point, Qin Shi had a clear view of everything.

That ferocious burly man was holding a heavy hammer, pressing down from above, but the accumulated terrifying kinetic energy did not break the barrier.

"If it were me, breaking Bone Barrier and Muscle Barrier, the two Great Limits, maybe I wouldn’t have been harmed by the rebound force."

Qin Shi leisurely watched from the sidelines. That hammer strike was so fierce, he wondered how sturdy the burly man’s body was, and if he could withstand it.

Crack, crack, the dry ground fragmented, raising billowing dust.

The burly man took several heavy steps back, his solid arm, thick as a pillar, instantly torn with several wounds.

But in the next moment, the giant hammer radiated a blood-red glow, enveloping his whole body.

The damage caused by the rebound force vanished instantly.

"This guy has also activated?"

Qin Shi was secretly amazed, his eyes tightly fixed on the burly man’s heavy hammer.

This thing was extremely heavy, at least several hundred kilograms, with dark red vein-like patterns on the surface, like growing vines, wrapping around the hammer handle.

That previous hammer strike, killing numerous Rust Beasts, absorbed streaks of blood that were guided to the shark-tooth blood groove engraved on the hammer head.

"A weapon with vampire and self-healing traits? No wonder he’s so brave, charging into the beast horde alone!"

Qin Shi guessed.

Failing to smash through the energy barrier with one strike, the burly man was not discouraged, hammering down two more consecutive strikes.

The life force within him was extremely vigorous, and as the hammer head swung, it stirred up billowing airflow, like a waterfall being pulled, surging and sweeping!

The two heavy hammer strikes were as fast as lightning, almost stacking together!

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the uneasy beast horde parted like an angry tide once again!

The rotten flesh gurgled and sizzled, releasing radioactive high-temperature materials, forming a large circle of flames.

Despite several hammer strikes, the energy barrier remained steadfast.

Forced into a corner, he could only stomp his legs, launching himself like a cannonball towards the perilous cliff covered in crystal clusters.

Soon, he began hammering the rocks, retreating with their momentum.

Qin Shi, watching the scene, couldn’t help but think of a certain survival digging game.

He pondered:

"The Rust Beast boss gnaws on the crystal clusters, partly for evolution, and partly to form a protective barrier from the excess energy, to avoid interference."

The small mountain of shattered crystal clusters formed an energy shield covering a five- to six-meter radius, which, even after three heavy strikes, only slightly wavered.

"If it were me, even with all the reserves of the Cultivation Furnace, it would require at least ten consecutive hammer strikes to break through."

Qin Shi contemplated that this Rust Beast was quite intelligent, knowing how to think, no wonder it could command a horde of over a hundred beasts.

He temporarily abandoned his hunting plan, since the evolution stage couldn’t be overcome in just a day or two.

Much like the rebirth transformation after breaking the limits of the mortal body, it all required a considerable amount of time.

As night gradually cloaked the Great Rift Valley, the temperature in the middle region seemed to drop further.

Large masses of snowy air condensed, in the blink of an eye covering the surrounding cliffs with a layer of white.

"The body sensation is close to minus ten degrees."

Qin Shi sat still, with half an inch of snow accumulating on his eyebrows and shoulders.

Luckily, he had broken three major limits, especially the Bone Barrier, enabling the blood circulation to resist such extreme temperature variations.

He took out the red crystals collected from the forehead of a war hound from his tactical backpack and operated the Cultivation Furnace.

These alien creatures often condensed a certain "energy core," which, if not concerned about impurities and pollution, could be absorbed by the human body.

Qin Shi relied on the dominance of the "Cosmic Furnace Secret Manual" and the characteristic of [Overgrowth].

Focusing on having a good appetite!

Handful after handful of red crystals, refined by the "furnace fire," instantly dimmed down.

The energy inside them slowly seeped into the mortal body, with any existing impurities and pollution being instantly neutralized.

"Despite the Great Rift Valley being a high-pollution area, the energy factor here is much more concentrated than outside."

Qin Shi found that his cultivation efficiency in the Great Rift Valley was actually much higher than in the talent apartment in the Urban Circle.

At least twice as efficient.

"No wonder such a unique ecosystem was created, birthing so many alien creatures."

Qin Shi was quite astonished. He had originally thought a highly polluted area, like a toxin-filled swamp, would be absolutely harmful to the human body.

But that wasn’t the case.

As long as one had sufficient strength, this place could instead be an excellent cultivation ground.

Even the growth progress bar on the Monument Panel was slowly enhancing.

Previously receiving the Martial God’s legacy pushed the growth progress bar beyond one percent, growing steadily but slowly.

After several months, it had reached around five percent.

This speed was quite fast compared to before.

However, being in the highly polluted area of the Great Rift Valley, Qin Shi felt the growth progress bar was moving forward more noticeably.

"Is it because of the pollution?"

Qin Shi was puzzled.

He continued to meditate and cultivate, with the breath within his furnace gradually transforming into a concentrated brilliance.
