Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law
Chapter 431 - 429: Ninth Layer Late Stage! The Void Nine-headed Insect Emerging from the Mysterious Space! Sang Xiyao’s Concern
"The energy from the Ancient Well... Did he nearly deplete it all by himself?!"
On his Tier Two Venerable Position, Zhu Gang, the Law Enforcement Hall Master of the Celestial Profound Sect, suddenly shuddered inside.
No wonder... No wonder he could instantly kill two Ninth Layer Grandmasters!
Just this absorption capability alone is something even most Earth Realm Grandmasters probably can’t match.
Zhu Gang had never heard of that Ancient Well ever nearing depletion before.
On his Tier One Venerable Position, Xu Mao and Ximen Dachui felt that the Heaven and Earth Source Qi being infused seemed to have diminished somewhat.
They couldn’t help but open their eyes and observe the situation.
When they saw the mysterious Ancient Well emerging on the surface of the dark sea and the light column erupting from its mouth visibly shrink, they were both taken aback.
What’s going on?
Ximen Dachui scanned around with his eyes and immediately spotted the anomaly around Lu Ye, whose light column was enormous!
The Heaven and Earth Source Qi had transformed into a thick white fog, completely enshrouding that stone platform space.
"It’s him?!"
Xu Mao’s stone platform was right next to Ximen Dachui’s.
With one look, Xu Mao couldn’t quite believe it and said, "Brother Dachui, you’ve participated in the Yunyao Secret Realm twice, have you ever seen anyone... with a similar absorption presence?"
After thinking for a moment, Ximen Dachui decisively shook his head.
As for Lu Ye’s overly domineering absorption which caused the reduction of Heaven and Earth Source Qi available to others on the Tier One Venerable Positions.
The remaining four didn’t have much of an issue with it.
This kind of heavenly opportunity, if they were in his place and capable of absorbing more, they would certainly choose to do so.
If you can’t compete with someone else, there’s nothing more to say.
Moreover, given his strength...
Even if they had opinions, who would have the courage to confront him?
Seeing that the well’s energy was unlikely to sustain high-frequency output, the other four quickly closed their eyes and continued absorbing.
Meanwhile, within the space of the Myriad Dao Pavilion, pure Heaven and Earth Source Qi was floating everywhere.
Moreover, these imported Heaven and Earth Source Qi carried a slight golden glow, possessing a divine aura.
"That’s enough..."
Sensing with his Spiritual Sense that the entire Myriad Dao Pavilion space was permeated with dense Heaven and Earth Source Qi that had started to vaporize, Lu Ye finally chose to stop.
Then he himself continued to absorb energy with full force, advancing towards the late Ninth Layer.
As for comprehending the Domain Space, Lu Ye discovered that he indeed had no way to grasp it while still in the Mortal Realm.
"Fortunately, having drawn in so much divine Heaven and Earth Source Qi into the Myriad Dao Pavilion, when the time comes, the energy provided by Xiao Shu and Xiao Ling should also carry that divine aura..."
As he ceased worrying about understanding Domain Techniques, Lu Ye felt his mind suddenly become clear.
The speed of refinement seemed to have subtly climbed another level.
Just as the Sea of Realms space opened and everyone was immersed in this opportunity.
Outside the Yunyao Secret Realm.
A group from Lingyao Celestial Palace was resting on an open ground.
Sang Xiyao calculated the time: "It’s been five days since the Secret Realm opened. Today should be the day the Sea of Realms space opens."
The Sea of Realms space will last for a full day.
Afterwards, the Secret Realm will close, awaiting the next opening.
By this calculation, the participants should all be in the Sea of Realms, enjoying the opportunity by now.
"I wonder if that Chen Beixuan is okay..."
Thinking of those two from the Celestial Curtain Prefecture who chased in after him, Sang Xiyao shook her head helplessly.
"If he had joined our Celestial Palace before, this kind of thing wouldn’t happen."
Even if the Celestial Curtain Prefecture is powerful, they still wouldn’t dare do anything in front of Lingyao Celestial Palace.
Just as the thought finished crossing her mind, suddenly... a peculiar sound arose beside her.
Something seemed to be emerging from some void space.
Suddenly, a scream echoed!
"Ah!"
A person from the Celestial Palace in the Mortal Realm unexpectedly had an arm ripped off!
Instantly, intense pain shot through him; this fifth-layer Mortal Realm Grandmaster quickly struck out at a certain part of the void beside him with a Celestial Tier Martial Technique.
The powerful Grandmaster wave instantly enveloped that area.
But... it didn’t have any significant effect.
A hideous creature resembling a giant insect slowly emerged from the void.
This insect seemed to have nine heads.
However, at this moment, only a single central head was present.
The other positions were occupied by eight nauseating cavities, oozing slime continuously.
Its smooth body appeared to have a layer of mucus, greatly reducing incoming attacks.
The attacks of this fifth-layer Mortal Realm Grandmaster were largely neutralized by this mucus.
The attack that ultimately landed on the nameless Nine-headed Insect was weakened considerably.
"Foul creature!"
Seeing such a hideous and sinister Nine-headed Insect appear, Sang Xiyao shouted.
In a flash, an attack far more powerful than that of a Mortal Realm Fifth Layer instantly appeared from Sang Xiyao’s hand, slashing towards the hideous nameless Nine-headed Insect.
Swoosh!
Facing Sang Xiyao’s attack, the evil eyes of the nameless Nine-headed Insect showed a hint of dread.
In an instant, the void surrounding the nameless Nine-headed Insect began to phase out.
And as its body phased, it slipped into this temporary void passage and disappeared.
When Sang Xiyao’s attack arrived, the Nine-headed Insect had already fled.
Furrowing her brows tightly, Sang Xiyao’s expression became extremely grave at this moment.
After contemplating for a moment, she spoke a few words...
"Void Nine-headed Insect... How has it not become extinct?!"
Quickly approaching her subordinate to stop the bleeding, Sang Xiyao took out a bottle of medicinal powder and applied it to the wound.
Meanwhile, a trace of worry appeared in the eyes of the silver-robed envoy.
The name Void Nine-headed Insect might not be well-known in today’s Xuanzhou.
But tens of thousands of years ago, it was notorious and extraordinarily powerful!
Due to its ability to traverse space briefly and its strong vitality, killing it was extremely difficult.
It’s said that a one-headed Void Nine-headed Insect could rival a Mortal Realm Grandmaster!
If allowed to grow to two heads, it could rival the Earth Realm!
Fortunately, due to its overly formidable innate abilities, the Void Nine-headed Insect’s growth was exceptionally difficult.
Even tens of thousands of years ago, that Void Nine-headed Insect only grew to five heads.
It was still a long way from its full form.
"I must report this to the Palace Master at once..."
Sang Xiyao immediately pulled out a Communication Jade Token and informed the Palace Master at Lingyao Celestial Palace about the encounter with the Nine-headed Void Insect.
...
Within the Yunyao Secret Realm.
In the blink of an eye, most of the day had passed.
By now, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Source Qi from the mysterious Ancient Well was only half of what it was initially.
Fortunately, with the Hundredfold Amplification, Lu Ye had already advanced to the late Ninth Layer.
"It seems that breaking through to the Earth Realm here isn’t possible."
However, having drawn in so much Heaven and Earth Source Qi into the Myriad Dao Pavilion, even if he couldn’t break through here, it would certainly not be in vain.
A few hours later, the Source Qi emerging from the Ancient Well became increasingly scarce.
And at this moment, the Sea of Realms space also began to tremble slightly as if on the verge of shattering at any moment...
