Half an hour later.

Zhao Mu suddenly opened his eyes. There seemed to be a purple electric arc flashing in his eyes.

"Lightning attribute techniques are indeed harder to cultivate. Although it's only a low-grade Black Level technique, my Lightning Spiritual Root isn't very talented. If it weren't for my strong perception, I wouldn't have been able to reach the Initial Understanding stage in half an hour."

Apart from talent and perception, the compatibility of the Spiritual Root was also very important.

For example, Zhao Mu was born with a Pure Yang Body. His Fire Spiritual Root was relatively strong, so he could cultivate fire attribute techniques like a fish in water.

It would be much worse if he were to practice other cultivation techniques.

Although top-notch perception could make up for some of the disadvantages, the upper limit was definitely not as good as cultivating fire attribute techniques.

But this half hour's effort was not in vain. At least Zhao Mu had grasped the basics of Purple Electric Coil.

With a thought, a purple electric arc burst out from Zhao Mu's palm. The electric arc quickly split into many thorny rose-like forks. It was like an electric net. Once it entangled the enemy, its power could not be underestimated.

Although it couldn't cause too much damage, the most important use of Purple Electric Coil was to paralyze the enemy.

Even if it didn't work, it could still reduce the enemy's speed.

Moreover, the attack range of Purple Electric Coil was quite large. Once the electric arc was released, it could cover an area of ten meters at most.

When fighting against multiple enemies at the same time, this technique was definitely useful.

Zhao Mu took a deep breath and set off towards the fourth level of the Path to Heaven.

Out of Zhao Mu's expectations, there wasn't a group of Core Formation Stage demonic beasts.

There was only one demonic beast.

It was a big cat that had been sleeping on the ground.

To be precise, it was a black leopard.

Even though it was sleeping, it still gave Zhao Mu a strong sense of oppression.

Many of the Saint Prime Devil Sect's outer sect geniuses stopped here.

Even a prodigy like Nalan Chuang didn't pass the fourth level. He only lasted for two hours.

Zhao Mu didn't know if anyone in the outer sect had passed the fourth level in the past. But at least for now, no one in the outer sect could break through this natural barrier.

Zhao Mu didn't have much hope.

His cultivation was still too low. The gap between him and a Core Formation Stage demonic beast was too big.

According to Zhao Mu's idea, it would be good enough if he could hold on for ten breaths.

After all, Zhao Mu was now ranked 13th on the Outer Sect Prodigy List.

As long as he could stay on the fourth floor for a while, his ranking would definitely rise. Squeezing into the top ten shouldn't be a problem.

Zhao Mu's goal was to enter the Prodigy List and squeeze Chu Jiaoran out of the top ten.

"Do your best."

Because she did not have any expectations, Zhao Mu's mentality was quite carefree. She did not need to do any preparation work and directly walked onto the platform.

In the next second, the black panther woke up.

Its eyes were like sapphires, extremely beautiful.

But the next moment, the black panther's figure disappeared.

No.

The black panther did not disappear. It was just that its speed was so fast that Zhao Mu could barely see its trajectory with the naked eye.

Danger was rapidly approaching!

All the hairs on Zhao Mu's body stood up instinctively. He activated the Burning Flame Palm and blasted it toward the ground. Instantly, a large wave of fire surged in all directions. He intended to use the fire to force the big cat out.

After that palm, Zhao Mu activated the Purple Lightning Coil again. Dense and tiny lightning arcs instantly enveloped the space within a ten-meter radius.

The ground and the sky were instantly under Zhao Mu's control.

"It's indeed effective!"

Not only was the black panther exposed, but it also took the initiative to distance itself from Zhao Mu under the dual threat of thunder and fire.

It was pacing back and forth ten meters away, its sharp gaze locked onto Zhao Mu.

However, it was forced back by the flames and purple lightning every time it tried to approach.

Zhao Mu was overjoyed when he saw this.

However, he was only happy for a few seconds before the black panther's figure disappeared again.

It resisted the purple lightning and the fire waves under its feet and forcefully broke through Zhao Mu's defense line to approach him.

Five meters.

Three meters.

One meter.

The black panther was too fast. The moment Zhao Mu reacted, its thick claws had already slammed down on his head.

In the face of danger, Zhao Mu could only instinctively raise his arms to block.

Bang!

With a loud bang, Zhao Mu's body flew backward and almost fell off the platform.

Although he managed to stabilize his body, the tremors and intense pain from his arms made Zhao Mu break out in cold sweat.

This was the power of a Core Formation realm demon beast!

How terrifying!

If he did not know that everything here was an illusion created by the illusion array and that his life would not be in danger, Zhao Mu would definitely turn around and run away immediately.

He could not see any hope of turning the tables.

However, since he was not going to die, Zhao Mu would not admit defeat.

If he could stay on the fourth level for one more second, it would be considered a victory for him.

The black panther's attack succeeded, but it realized that Zhao Mu had not been eliminated. A hint of doubt flashed through its sapphire-like eyes.

A little guy in the Foundation Establishment realm was actually able to take its attack head-on. This was something that had never happened before.

Furthermore, the arms that he used to block his attack only suffered superficial injuries. His bones weren't broken at all.

It would be fine if he was a demon cultivator who was born with strong bones, but this kid was clearly a human cultivator who was known for his weak physique. How could his bones be so hard?

Zhao Mu did not know what Black Panther was thinking. He shook his arms that were about to lose all feeling and once again activated the power of the Crimson Sun. The flames spread from his palms all the way to his arms. Even his body was ignited with clusters of flames.

The Burning Flame Palm also had a hidden move. At the cost of damaging one's meridians, it ignited one's entire body and greatly increased one's overall combat strength.

Zhao Mu would definitely not use this trick outside. After all, each time he used it, his lifespan would be reduced by at least ten years. However, since he was in an Illusory Array where he did not have to worry about the consequences, Zhao Mu had nothing to worry about.

At the same time, purple electric arcs bloomed from Zhao Mu's palms once again, turning into two lightning thorns that twined around Zhao Mu's arms and legs. While numbing the pain from the electric shock, it could also add a numbing effect to Zhao Mu's melee attacks, thereby increasing the power of the melee attack.

This was simply a way to fight without regard for one's life. Every second was like burning away one's life.

Even if this was an Illusory Array and Zhao Mu wouldn't really get hurt, he could only hold on for a few minutes at most in his current state.

Black Panther couldn't help but narrow his eyes as his gaze became vigilant.

It actually felt a sense of threat from this Foundation Establishment human cultivator.

It was time to get serious!

With a whoosh, the black panther turned into a black bolt of lightning and pounced on Zhao Mu, opening its bloody mouth to bite him.

Its speed was so fast that there was no chance to dodge at all.

Seeing that it was too late to dodge, Zhao Mu made up his mind and took the initiative to throw his left arm into the black panther's mouth. At the cost of sacrificing his left arm, he cut off the black panther's next attack. At the same time, he wrapped his right arm tightly around the black panther's neck and slammed the Burning Flame Palm heavily, leaving a charred palm print on the black panther's body.

The black panther never thought that there would be someone who would counterattack in this way.

Was he really a human cultivator?

Even demons weren't as crazy as him!
