Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 502 - 457 All Physically Transcended
Consider it a trial in enhancing perception. Had I really let Little Bronze flatten this building just now, the Pure Yuan You would truly have been shattered. Pure Yuan You in the otherworldly realm is akin to energy sprites; they get frightened in the presence of excessively strong energy, undergoing a certain degree of contamination.
In fact, it is the contamination of energy. Pure Yuan You are actually very fragile, with no protective layer whatsoever. Once they are grazed by an overly powerful energy, their outer membrane shatters, allowing external essences to invade the Yuan You and turning Pure Yuan You into impure Yuan You.
Impure Yuan You significantly loses value, no longer able to enhance perception. If absorbed by the body, impurities are likely to be assimilated, contributing to further accumulations in the evolution process and suppressing the upper limit.
At lower stages of life evolution, any Yuan You can be absorbed, substantially boosting one's own strength and promoting evolution and higher perception. But at higher levels of evolution, it's essential to exclude as much as possible the contamination of diverse spiritual substances from the otherworldly realm, similar to refining metals, where higher purity exponentially increases hardness. But when just mastering refining technology, producing iron or steel is undeniably tougher than wood or stone.
Wu Hen's perception has been stuck at Fourth Rank for quite some time now.
Especially Fourth-rank Hearing.
The leap from Fourth Rank to Fifth Rank is more than just a little challenging. Theoretically, after being ravaged by the Disaster in the Mountain and River Realm millions of times, my perception should have been honed to a considerable realm. However, that kind of inner cultivation and external perception are clearly two different systems. The fact that I could counter the Disaster was purely due to the outburst of the Black Divine Miracle, which enhanced my perception during that phase.
Although this place is a land of mutation radiation, such soil is more likely to foster Pure Yuan You, unsullied by the mud from which it arises.
If that's the case, Wu Hen really wouldn't mind collecting them slowly, while seeking the source of these Mutant Condensed Liquids and honing his perception.
In terms of pure strength, Wu Hen felt that he was nearly invincible.
In the past, enhancing perception required awakening and gathering Pure Yuan You from various otherworldly environments. Now, being situated right in the middle of a muddy pool rich in Yuan You, fishing patiently could perhaps bring about higher levels of enlightenment!
"Try to collect enough Yuan You in this wasteland to advance my hearing to Fifth-rank." Wu Hen also found a sense of joy in exploration while hidden in Desert Dust.
With a Frozen Gun in hand, Wu Hen made his way straight back to the twentieth floor.
Kicking open the door, Wu Hen saw that bloated little elite. Not waiting for it to charge like the Hulk again, Wu Hen immediately shot out a Frost Bullet!
The bullet had no penetrating power, but upon touching the bloated Elite Corpse, it quickly formed a thick layer of frost on its rotten fatty surface, swiftly freezing its stinking skin.
The Elite Corpse charged wildly, smashing the heavy pillars of the floor to pieces. Such dangerous behavior made Wu Hen curse out loud.
If the heavy pillars shattered, the entire skyscraper would lean. If there really was a big BOSS of these corpse people on the top floor, wouldn't it need to swoop down and give this bloated elite a few big slaps and kick it out of here immediately?
Wu Hen had already cleared an area for activity, and was tussling with this Elite Corpse using the partitioned offices.
After hitting it with twelve Frost Bullets in a row, the fierce Elite Corpse's joints finally froze, and its movements became exceedingly sluggish.
Wu Hen immediately followed up with a barrage of fire, freezing the Elite Corpse against a heavy wall, then pulled out an air gun and shot a series of linear air bullets at the corpse, now frozen solid.
The Elite Corpse's skin had become brittle after being frozen, and the air bullets were finally able to shatter its body.
After a violent gunfire, Wu Hen was like a shooter using an automatic pistol on pumpkins, ultimately reducing the Elite Corpse to pieces!
The floor was strewn with frozen chunks of meat, and the recoil from excessive shooting created chaotic whirlwinds within that floor, sweeping the debris outside the building.
Wu Hen approached the Elite Corpse and collected a portion of Advanced Mutant Condensed Liquid from its split-open skull.
"There are quite a few Gold Seekers in this city, and they say the price of these Advanced Mutant Condensed Liquids has recently surpassed that of Yuan You. You could collect them and exchange with those Gold Seekers for Pure Yuan You; that way your Fifth-rank Hearing will soon be within reach," Bai Ze said.
"Sounds reasonable, a fruitful harvest!" Wu Hen nodded, placing the Advanced Mutant Condensed Liquid into a box.
Advanced Mutant Condensed Liquid does not deteriorate, so Wu Hen could collect more before exchanging it. With so many Gold Seekers in the wasteland, they'd surely have plenty of Pure Yuan You in their possession.
Wu Hen cleared each floor one by one. Armed with two guns, one Ice Gun and one air gun, he dealt with the corpse people with increased ease. It didn't take long for Wu Hen to physically transcend most of the floors swarming with them.
Only the top floor remained.
Wu Hen pressed the elevator button and headed for the top floor.
The top floor had a high ceiling design, looking like a palatial mansion within a skyscraper – it was where the tycoons of the wasteland once indulged in decadence.
Pushing open the massive doors of the auditorium, Wu Hen saw countless Female Corpses lying densely inside the domed hall. They wore different clothes and at first showed no signs of life, resembling rotting logs scattered in the opulent hall. But as soon as Wu Hen opened the door, they seemed to be activated by some program, making him feel as though he were immersed in a horror video game...
Fortunately, at Wu Hen's current realm, it wasn't much different from slaying zombies in a post-apocalyptic world.
"Hello, everyone!"
"Would you ladies please take a bath!"
Wu Hen directly blew up the fire hydrant, and in such a wasteland, would you believe that the hydrants were full of water? A large amount of contaminated water gushed out from the hydrant as if a fountain show had been activated in this auditorium.
The female corpses in the auditorium were puzzled, but seeing as there was live flesh coming to offer itself, they naturally couldn't wait to bite down.
Wu Hen waited for the liquid to fill the auditorium, then immediately pulled out his Ice Gun and fired it into the air of the auditorium!
"Boom!!!"
The bullet exploded, releasing a strong freezing aura, and the water droplets in the entire auditorium quickly crystallized into ice flowers, spreading rapidly, turning the entire auditorium into a field of frost blooms!
All the female corpses were covered with liquid, and their bodies quickly froze over, unable to dance their dance of devils before turning back into lifeless ice sculptures.
"Bang bang bang bang!!!!"
Standing at the entrance of the auditorium, Wu Hen started to shoot at fixed targets!
With each bullet that flew, a beautiful and delicate ice sculpture turned to powder, for some reason, bringing a sense of inexplicable stress relief. Wu Hen was tireless, liberating all the female corpses in the auditorium...
The Mutant Condensed Liquid, of course, could not be frozen. The condensed liquid from the female corpses flowed all over the ground, and interestingly, like some kind of magnetism, when they were not bound by living beings, these Mutant Condensed Liquids would move close to each other.
Soon, a large amount of Mutant Condensed Liquid merged and purified into generous portions of Advanced Mutant Condensed Liquid, which made Wu Hen very happy. After packing it into boxes, he could exchange it for Pure Yuan You with Gold Seekers.
"These Condensed Liquids attract each other magnetically, and when there is enough of them, they will even purify themselves... The mark of God's creation is too obvious." Wu Hen gazed at these Mutant Condensed Liquids, now certain that most of the mutated life here were like puppets strung by some God.
Their core is these Mutant Condensed Liquids. Once a life form absorbs the Condensed Liquid, it will destroy their self-consciousness like a virus, turning into a monster that knows only slaughter.
Monsters nourish the Mutant Condensed Liquid within themselves through slaughter, making it more potent, while these Condensed Liquids possess magnetism, causing powerful mutant species to hunt each other for their Condensed Liquid, thereby evolving themselves into even more formidable beings...
Here exists a rule of slaughter, to mutate and evolve through killing. If such a law persists long enough on this earth, it will inevitably give rise to many terrifying Slaughter Lords.
"It seems there is no sign of the Sang Demon." Wu Hen walked around the auditorium and couldn't help but feel a slight disappointment.
The Sang Demon was his primary target this time, and he thought the top of the skyscraper would surely harbor this BOSS Alien Species.
Wu Hen passed through the auditorium and entered the dome terrace.
The terrace was vast, surprisingly set up with an automated miniature tropical Rainforest landscape, and what was inconceivable was that this tropical Rainforest landscape was still thriving. The entire city lay abandoned and decayed, except this skyscraper's landscape was still luxuriant.
Wu Hen walked past and spotted a fruit that had grown in the landscape, which he unceremoniously picked.
It was not the Yuan You Fruit containing energy but an ordinary fruit; the key was that it was uncontaminated and could be eaten directly.
Having liberated a building, Wu Hen felt a sense of accomplishment. This tropical fruit served as a little reward for his clear, and he brought it to his mouth, ready to take a bite.
"Bang!!"
Suddenly, a bullet wrapped in a powerful whirlwind shot across from the opposite building and smashed the fruit just as Wu Hen was about to put it in his mouth!
Juice burst, splattering into Wu Hen's mouth.
Wu Hen maintained a tilted head posture, allowing the pulp and juice from the shattered fruit to flow into his open mouth, but his gaze was askew, looking towards the skyscraper where the fierce bullet had come from!
Evidently, it was a highly penetrating sniper bullet. As the sniper rifle spewed flames, Wu Hen's Sealing of his Hearing had loosened.
Even more evident was that this bullet wasn't meant to smash his fruit.
Had he not tilted his head to the extreme, what would be flowing would not be the pulp of the tropical fruit, but his own brains!
Wu Hen squinted, a trace of confusion on his face.
There was a sniper in the opposite building.

The sniper seemed to have been targeting him for a while, purposely waiting for him to relax while eating the fruit to take the shot.
Wu Hen looked in that direction and saw a man standing at the top of the opposite building with a blood-red sniper rifle. The glow of the setting sun shone on him, causing his body to begin eroding away. With Wu Hen's gaze, he quickly disappeared into the sunlight, like a Sand Shadow!
"It's the sniper from before!" Bai Ze immediately recognized him.
"What a pity, such a good person has become a Sang Demon," Wu Hen sighed deeply.
With one look, Wu Hen knew that the other person was no longer the friendly passerby he had encountered before.
