Far East Territory, Heartland Ice Valley
When the absorption stopped and the black demonic flames were withdrawn, Qiye, who had survived the disaster, took a deep breath: What a danger! Fortunately, the Great Protector has not held grudges to the point of dying with him, otherwise he might really be buried here today.
In fact, the Great Protector was not completely angry and irrational, so he took action lightly. When he first broke into the Seven Nights Spirit World, the Great Protector discovered that the wall of the spirit world was extremely strong, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it at the time. Now looking at the strange appearance of this spiritual world, it seems familiar but I can't remember it clearly. But it was certain that the spirit world was not that fragile, so he struck a little harder, hoping to let Qiye taste some suffering to relieve the hatred in his heart.
At this moment, Qiye did not dare to relax. His body was still full of manic spiritual power and must be dealt with as soon as possible. Because these spiritual powers were forcibly poured into the body after being swallowed by the black demonic flames, they could not be eliminated at all like water.
After repeatedly watering the flesh and blood with spiritual power, the blood vessels expanded to the extreme, the muscles doubled, and the skin all over the body was covered with countless cracks, and there was a sense of tearing pain from layer to layer.
As for the internal organs that have been repaired many times, the wounds have completely healed and the pain has completely dissipated. However, under the uncontrollable nourishment of spiritual power, the beating speed of the organs accelerated, the blood flowed rapidly, and the consumption and metabolism accelerated, making Qiye's breathing rapid, and he could hardly keep up with the speed of oxygen delivery.
On the other side, the broken bones that were barely connected all over the body have all condensed under the wash of spiritual power. Qiye's green and tender bones are constantly being solidified and consolidated, and there is a faint sense of heightening all over his body like mushrooms springing up after a rain. "Kakakaka" the bones began to break through the limit at a perceptible speed, as if they were trying to break free from their shackles. This rapid growth filled Qiye's entire body with endless soreness.
Time is of the essence and we must quickly find a place to digest it! Qiye thought anxiously, then raised his head with great difficulty and glanced around. There were countless caves of different sizes on the rock wall of the Ice Valley, which were suitable for a short retreat.
After spotting a spot, Qiye quickly fled towards the nearest cave, holding his weak arms. The cave is only as tall as one person. The walls inside the cave are dark. It is not deep, only a few meters deep, but it is very narrow. Fortunately, Qiye was small and thin, so he entered it very smoothly.
Qiye weakly held on to the rock wall and entered the depths of the cave, then quickly sat down and entered the state of regulating his breath. "Breathe...breathe..." Empty the body and mind and concentrate on the mind. Without the soul, Qiye can only rely on instinct to activate the Hun Tian Wheel. Under the influence of thoughts, the chaotic cyclone rotates smoothly and evenly, exerting a strong downward suction force, and tirelessly absorbs the expanding spiritual power in the spiritual world.
While the Hun Tian Wheel is absorbing spiritual power, on the other side, the Great Protector Soul Seal engraved on the edge of the Hun Tian Wheel is also ejecting black magic flames, trying its best to compete for the huge spiritual power. Although all these spiritual powers were swallowed up by the black demonic flames and entered the spiritual world, due to the existence of the powerful absorbing overlord of the Hun Tian Lun, it was impossible to compete with it with the power of the Great Protector's soul mark.
After all, "Heavenly Domain Sea King Technique" is one of the top demon clan techniques "Nine Heavens Star Technique". Its absorption speed is jaw-dropping. Affected by the death of the Great Protector Demon Soul and the sharp decline in strength, even if Black Demon Yan tried his best, he could only get 10% of the spiritual power. More spiritual power was injected into the whirlpool eye of the Huntian Wheel. This is tantamount to making wedding clothes for others, which is cheap for seven nights.
"Damn it! Damn it!" The Great Protector gritted his teeth and said with great reluctance. Seeing that the spiritual power he had worked so hard to swallow was swallowed up by the Huntian Wheel, the Great Protector was so angry that he was bleeding.
Huge spiritual power continues to flow into the cyclone, like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea, raging like a tidal wave. The primary spiritual cultivator can swallow up such a huge amount, no matter how spiritual cultivators in the human race see it, they will be horrified. The Hun Tian Wheel is like a huge millstone, crushing, compressing, and solidifying the spiritual power... Finally, on the other side of the cyclone, a trace of shiny, crystal-clear and moist spiritual liquid slowly gathers. When the spiritual liquid gradually grows to the size of a drop of water, It falls off like a ripe fruit and falls into the darkness below the cyclone...
In this way, in the collection of drop by drop, wait until the spiritual liquid accumulates to a certain extent. From the depths of the chaos, a ball of fluorescent light and gemstones slowly rose. The light ball penetrated the cyclone and rose steadily into the upper void, then turned into a "spiritual star" with pure spiritual power.
Whenever an extremely pure spiritual star rises into the void and shines with light, a spiritual light flashes across Qiye's body, and then the spiritual energy aura becomes more refined and thicker.
It has to be said that the spiritual power of Yanagi Hei's "Ninth Level Late Battle Ax Level" was so huge that it took Qiye a full ten days and ten nights to swallow up the Black Demonic Flame while slowly compressing and condensing it without any haste. All the spiritual energy has been digested. In these ten days, Qiye condensed tens of thousands of drops of spiritual liquid, and his strength gradually increased steadily from the "Junior 2nd Stage" where he started:
On the second day of refining, he broke through the primary level 3, the number of spiritual stars increased from 300 to 1,000, and the spiritual world also expanded from 280 square meters to 500 square meters.
...
On the fifth day of refining, he broke through the primary level 4, the number of spiritual stars increased to 2,400, and the spiritual world expanded to 800 square meters.
...
On the tenth day of refining, he broke through the primary level 5, the number of spiritual stars soared to 4,000, and the spiritual world expanded to 1,400 square meters.
After absorbing most of the spiritual power of the late ninth level of battle axe, Qiye's strength failed to increase as much as expected. He did not even enter the "war level", but only advanced to the third level.
In fact, if one practices the techniques according to the human race, with so much spiritual power, even if one cannot reach the 'Battle Ax Level', it is safe to rise all the way to the 'Later Ninth Level of the Battle Level'.
However, due to the powerful condensing nature of the Demon Cultivation Technique, the huge spiritual power is extremely compressed. Although it advances slowly, it can make the spiritual power aura thicker.
For example: with the same spiritual power, others can condense 100 spiritual stars after absorbing it, but Qiye can only condense 10. Although there is a huge difference in quantity, the richness of the spiritual power is the same. If the number of spiritual stars is the same, Qiye will definitely crush his opponent without any pressure, and can even surpass him by leapfrogging. This is the horror of demonic skills, accumulated over time.
Nowadays, the number of 4,000 spiritual stars in Qiye's "Basic Fifth Stage" is already equal to the number of spiritual stars in ordinary "Basic Sixth Stage" spiritual practice. If it explodes with all its strength, Qiye's strength can increase by about 6 times, which can compete with the "mid-war level" spiritual practitioners with 20,000 spiritual stars.
In human spiritual cultivation, those who can surpass the first level of challenge are geniuses, those who can surpass two or three levels of challenges are the best among people, and those who can surpass the ninth level like Qiye can be called an eternal monster.
When Qiye's strength stabilized at the "elementary fifth stage", the timeline of the Hunyuan Refining Realm also grew to 1.5 times. At the equator of the spiritual world, five time inscriptions flowed quietly and radiantly. At this moment, Qiye didn't know that although he had improved by three levels, his combat power had crossed a full level.
Not only that, the average number of spiritual stars for ordinary 'elementary five-level' spiritual practitioners is about 2800, those with dull qualifications only have 2500, those with excellent qualifications only have about 3000, and geniuses only have 3200, and the number of spiritual stars is as big as a cherry.
But Qiye not only has the largest number of spiritual stars at the same level, but also the spiritual stars are bright and thick, and the size of the spiritual stars is as big as an egg. Just imagine: all the spiritual power of a 'Late Battle Ax Level' strongman only allowed Qiye to advance to the third level. This is really unbelievable.
A strong sense of power filled Qiye's body, and the spiritual energy that had been swollen in the flesh, blood, muscles and bones of his body was all absorbed and digested. Although he was suddenly promoted to the third level and his flesh and blood were fully nourished by spiritual power, Qiye's physical strength is now only equivalent to the 'elementary third level'. After all, Qiye's body is already weak, and muscle strengthening cannot be achieved overnight. Only through years of tempering can the body be made stronger.
Seeing that the originally scarred skin had been nourished by spiritual power for ten days, the cracked skin became radiant again, and the rest of the wounds on the body had completely scabbed and fallen off, and every pore on the skin was as smooth and dripping as if it had been steamed through a sauna. Qiye felt happy and understanding Smile, and you will feel more confident when you leave this Far East Territory.
On the other hand, facing such a rapid advancement in strength, Qiye was still a little confused for a moment. The rapid advancement of spiritual power is too ethereal to give people a sense of stability.
After examining the full spiritual energy in his body, Qiye continued to close his eyes and began to settle and stabilize. Lay a solid foundation of strength at each stage, because Qiye believes that if his foundation is not solid and his strength suddenly improves, he may feel frivolous in the future, and it will be difficult to make great progress on his spiritual path.
In this way, it took another day to stabilize the strength and condense all the remaining spiritual power in the spiritual world, and the strength was firmly consolidated at the "elementary fifth level".
"Huh~, I didn't expect this black flame to absorb so much energy." Qiye sighed with a sigh of relief. Looking back on that moment, I can't help but still feel scared. His life was really hanging by a thread. If he absorbed a little more, he might explode and die.
"Humph, how about it, little baby, do you know the power of the black magic flame of this Great Protector this time?" the Great Protector said angrily.
"Great Protector, you want to kill Ah Qi. If you act recklessly next time, don't blame Ah Qi for being rude!" Qiye said very sternly. It concerns his own life. Even if the Great Protector is a superior demon, Qiye will still do it. Stern warning.
"Huh, good intentions are worth nothing. No one can order this great protector!" After the great protector said something, he fell silent.
This time, although most of the spiritual power swallowed up by the black demon flames was absorbed by the Huntian Wheel, the Great Protector still managed to grab a small part of it. The natal soul seal that had lost its demonic soul was nourished by spiritual power. The gray and dim soul seal became as black as ink, and the weak black demonic flames became more intense and vigorous. The soul mark has grown slightly larger, but compared to the Huntian Wheel, which is as big as a millstone, it still looks weak.
At present, the Great Protector has to live under someone else's roof. Although he is very unhappy with Qiye's attitude, he has an indescribable itch for Qiye's bloodline, just like the sweet fragrance of fruit, which is tempting to smell and rippling to eat. . Although he felt aggrieved, thinking about getting such a physical body in the future, the Great Protector still chose to endure it.
"Come on, come on, little baby. When this Great Protector recovers his demon soul again, this body will belong to me! Hehe..." In the Huntian Wheel, the Great Protector laughed silently.
