Chapter 245
“Swish swish!”
He originally thought that there would be monsters, zombies or demons crawling out of the stone coffin, but there were none. After a while, two blood-red rays of light shot out from the stone coffin and rushed towards the surface. They instantly pierced through a layer of soil that was over a hundred feet thick and shot towards the distant horizon. They were heading towards the area where Xiao Chen was at.
“Bang.”
After shooting out two beams of light, the sarcophagus started to shake again. After a while, accompanied by a soft sound, the crack on the sarcophagus’s lid closed up. The sarcophagus also stopped shaking, and the terrifying aura also disappeared. The underground tomb returned to its original deathly stillness, as if nothing had happened just now.
The two blood-red rays that flew out were extremely fast, traveling thousands of miles in an instant. In just a few breaths, they seemed to have passed through time and space and flew to the front of the Giant Divine Demon Figure. They then shot straight into the blood-red eyes of the Giant Divine Demon Figure and finally disappeared.
Something even more magical happened. The two blood-red balls of light that were originally motionless seemed to have come alive and shot out two rays of light similar to before. The target of the two rays of light was obviously Xiao Chen’s energy whirlpool. In a blink of an eye, the two rays of light merged into the energy whirlpool and rushed into the cave where Xiao Chen was cultivating and finally entered Xiao Chen’s body …
“Ah?”
Xiao Chen, who was at the crucial moment of breaking through, suddenly felt that something was wrong with the heaven and earth energy that entered his body. There seemed to be some strange and terrifying energy. His perception was very strong and should not be wrong. He could not help but be shocked and almost exited the state of breakthrough. Fortunately, he had a strong will and finally persevered.
But —
What happened next made Xiao Chen lose his composure. He realized that the strange and terrifying energy did not join the breakthrough. In other words, the strange and terrifying energy was not absorbed by Xiao Chen’s Desolate Liquid. Instead, it gathered together and became a ball of blood-red energy. It also floated in his Dantian and maintained a certain distance from the Desolate Liquid. They did not interfere with each other.
“What is going on?
What kind of energy is this?
Why is it so strange and terrifying?
Where did it come from? ”
Xiao Chen looked at the blood-red energy and was shocked. He couldn’t understand it. This was too strange. It was obviously a ball of energy, so why couldn’t it be absorbed and used?
Also, Xiao Chen felt that the blood-red energy, which was smaller than a dragon’s eye, was incomparably terrifying. If it went berserk, it could easily take his life. This was not a good sign!
Right then, Xiao Chen was extremely scared of that red energy, and he was also very confused. He was so close to breaking through, but this mysterious and horrifying energy had appeared out of nowhere. Xiao Chen felt like crying. He did not dare to touch that red energy, fearing that something might happen and affect his breakthrough. Even if he wanted to touch it, he would have to wait until he reached the blood bear realm, and only try to touch it after he had done some research on it.
If it was a blessing, it wasn’t a misfortune. If it was a misfortune, it couldn’t be avoided!
“Thankfully, nothing has happened. I’ll put it aside for now and focus on breaking through to the next realm.”
Xiao Chen muttered in his heart as he continued to pay attention to the blob of Power of Desolation liquid in his Dantian. The blob of Power of Desolation liquid was getting bigger, almost the size of a goose egg, and it was still growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Power of Desolates in Xiao Chen’s meridians had almost been completely absorbed by the Power of Desolates liquid. There was less than a tenth left, and it would probably be completely absorbed in less than thirty minutes. When that happened, it would be the most critical moment. This was because the Power of Desolates would undergo a qualitative change, becoming purer and more powerful.
The Heaven and Earth spiritual energy from the outside was still surging into Xiao Chen’s body. The energy vortex did not grow any larger, and remained at a size of ten thousand feet. After the gigantic Godfiend shadow shot out two blood-red beams of light, it gradually dissipated. Thick dark clouds scattered in all directions, and in less than an hour, not a single dark cloud could be seen in the sky above the region. The sun that had just risen appeared, and the sky was clear again.
The overwhelming and terrifying aura also disappeared with the disappearance of the gigantic Godfiend shadow. It was as if it had never appeared. It was extremely strange. Countless powerful warriors who were rushing towards the terrifying aura suddenly could not feel it, and immediately lost their target.
Quite a number of warriors gave up on running, but there were still a number of the strongest warriors who continued to run in the direction they felt. However, they would eventually return disappointed. At most, they would hear some vague answers from the mountain people or low level warriors who were so frightened that they lost control of their bowels. This was because they would not believe that such a strange scene would appear in the sky. It was simply a fantasy story.
Another hour passed quickly. Xiao Chen’s meridians and Dantian no longer had any Power of Desolates left. The Power of Desolates liquid ball in his Dantian had reached the size of a ten-year-old child’s fist. This Power of Desolates liquid ball was black and purple in color. It spun rapidly and was dazzling, like the stars in the sky. It was extremely beautiful.
However, behind the beauty was usually danger. This Power of Desolates liquid ball contained all of Xiao Chen’s Power of Desolates, as well as massive amounts of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy. If he could not control it and it exploded, Xiao Chen would instantly explode and die. This was not an exaggeration, as there had been warriors who had been so unlucky before.
“Condense!”
At this moment, Xiao Chen had no choice but to intervene. He infused his powerful Soul Power into the Power of Desolates liquid ball. With a deep roar in his heart, he guided and controlled the Power of Desolates liquid ball, causing it to become more solid, like a sphere.
There were no accidents. After a while, the surface of the Power of Desolates liquid ball became round.
“Produce!”
Xiao Chen did not relax as he roared in his heart once again.
“Weng!”
The Power of Desolates liquid ball suddenly stopped absorbing the Heaven and Earth energy from the outside world. It also stopped spinning and became extremely quiet. However, the silence only lasted for a moment. With a humming sound coming from the Power of Desolates liquid ball, the Power of Desolates liquid ball began to spin again. As it spun, traces of black and purple Power of Desolates were spat out by the Power of Desolates liquid ball.
This Power of Desolates was clearly much stronger than the original Power of Desolates. If the previous Power of Desolates was a weak child, then the Power of Desolates produced now was equivalent to a powerful adult. There was no way to compare.
“What a powerful Power of Desolates. I’m about to successfully break through, right?”
Xiao Chen looked at the Power of Desolates that contained a huge amount of energy in his Dantian. Finally, he revealed a happy smile. At this point, there should not be any accidents. What was left was a natural process.
“Phew!”
The Power of Desolates liquid ball began to absorb the energy from the outside world once again. However, this time, it was not as crazy. It became very stable. The rotation of the Power of Desolates liquid ball was not very fast. It was at a constant and stable speed, giving it a majestic feeling.
Time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, half a day had passed. It was already afternoon. The Power of Desolates liquid ball no longer absorbed the energy from the outside world. The huge energy vortex had long disappeared. Not long after the energy vortex disappeared, the powerful warriors that were rushing over were also very close to the large mountain range that Xiao Chen was in.
They felt a massive amount of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy gathering towards the large mountain range in front of them. They were alarmed and did not know what had happened. They suspected that a warrior was making a breakthrough in the mountain range in front of them, but they felt that it was impossible. This was because there was too much energy, so much that it was frightening.
However, all of a sudden, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi no longer gathered, and there was no movement at all. This made the martial artists even more baffled, so they began to search the surrounding mountain ridges for dozens of miles, hoping to find something. In fact, they were holding on to their wishful thinking, hoping that a great opportunity would befall them, such as finding a heavenly treasure, a peerless divine weapon, and so on.
If a rare treasure or a peerless divine weapon was born, it would be completely reasonable for such a massive amount of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy to gather. Some ancient records stated that if a peerless treasure was born, there would be a large amount of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy swarming over, enveloping the peerless treasure. It was as though the people were worshipping the emperor. It was extremely magical.
