"What’s going on?"
Even a Strange Spirit lucky enough to cultivate Spiritual Wisdom has a certain understanding of humans. They know that humans have many secret techniques to enhance their strength, such as the Ancestor Vein Power that this young, plainly-dressed boy activated earlier.
The Ancestor Vein Power that allowed his ridian Qi Cultivation to break through from the Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage to the Peak of Seeking Origin Realm was already astonishing. But now, this human boy’s breakthrough nearly made the Strange Spirit’s eyes pop out.
Because when Yun Xiao’s eyes were filled with endless golden light, his ridian Qi Cultivation had surprisingly broken through the shackles of the Seeking Origin Realm, reaching the true Early Stage of the Earth Bending Realm.
In between, he even directly skipped the half-step Earth Realm level. Such an "Enhancent Secret Technique" is sothing not even this Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit had ever seen. It was probably unheard of even among the many human geniuses outside Xuanyin Cave, including Master Xuan Yin Xue Tianao.
It indicates that since there are divisions between the Great Ranks on the Continent, there are fundantal differences between each Great Rank. Besides the accumulation of ridian Qi, it also requires comprehension of realms, both of which are indispensable.
In this world, after using an Enhancent Secret Technique, it is common to advance by a small realm, but to directly break through the shackles of a Great Rank is unheard of.
Fortunately, standing in front of Yun Xiao was only a Strange Spirit. If those human geniuses or the strong individuals of Xuanyin Hall saw this, their deeply ingrained cultivation views might be overturned in their lifeti.
But such an enhancent already has a massive impact on this Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit. The most important thing is that the cultivation level of this human boy, who gained such a significant enhancent, is now on par with it.
Previously, at the Late Stage of the Origin Seeking Realm, or even at the Peak, he could hold his own against this Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit. Now, having also advanced to the Early Stage of the Earth Bending Realm, how powerful can the boy’s battle strength explode?
However, the Strange Spirit was only focused on Yun Xiao’s terrifying increase in ridian Qi Cultivation and failed to notice the boy’s exposed skin showing signs of rupture.
Yun Xiao’s face was alright, perhaps because the Golden Snake Worm was controlling it deliberately, but his hands were already seeping blood, clearly unable to withstand the breakdown of the Golden Snake Worm’s energy.
It’s strange to say, the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu’s own level is only Eighth Rank Advanced, yet after lending its power to Yun Xiao, they managed to break through to the Early Stage of the Earth Bending Realm, which is truly puzzling.
Perhaps even Yun Xiao and Xiao Wu themselves cannot make sense of this response.
But none of that matters. The important thing is that Yun Xiao, having reached the Early Stage of the Earth Bending Realm, although he still can’t confront those Water Column Tentacles head-on, this Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit poses no threat to him at all.
At this mont, Yun Xiao appears to be in a special state. His eyes are glowing gold, and then he takes action. That right palm slowly moves toward the Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit leader, seemingly without a trace of power.
"Don’t take it head-on!"
Although Yun Xiao’s right palm seems extrely slow, it looks terribly terrifying to that Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit’s eyes. It decisively points its foot on the Water Column, trying to evade.
But Yun Xiao is fundantally different from before. Once he decided to strike, how could a Strange Spirit of the sa level easily dodge his attack?
A streak of golden light burst from Yun Xiao’s right palm, as if possessing so peculiar magic power. The Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit’s body suddenly stiffened, as if controlled by a mysterious force for a mont.
Perhaps even Yun Xiao doesn’t know what this golden light is, or maybe it’s a new power born after the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu borrowed his body to break through to the Early Stage of the Earth Bending Realm. Either way, its effect is excellent at this mont.
Puff!
With the strange golden light’s assistance, Yun Xiao doesn’t concern himself with the Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit’s mood. That right palm has already lightly pressed on its forehead, emitting a soft sound.
With Yun Xiao’s enhancent in ridian Qi Cultivation, his Physical Strength naturally also reaches the Ninth Rank low-level Vein Demon level. While the Strange Spirit’s body had been dead for decades, it was completely defenseless, so the outco was predictable.
You can see the head of that Strange Spirit’s body shatter instantly under the powerful strike, but what one might imagine as the brain splattering did not occur. It seems the brain matter inside had dried up over ti.
Crash!
With its body and head shattered, the Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit could no longer use this body for combat. Only a ghostly figure erged from its neck cavity, looking almost identical to the Low Rank Strange Spirits.
This should be the True Form of these Strange Spirits, and without this human body, the Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit’s combat power doesn’t seem to have been affected, with its aura still imnse.
But this hard-won body was so thoroughly destroyed by the opponent, it left the Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit extrely furious, recklessly charging forward with its Strange Spirit Form.
It looks like this Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit has lost its mind, but simultaneously, several Water Column Tentacles suddenly lashed out from various directions, seemingly sensing assistance from the presence at the lake’s bottom, giving it the confidence to confront Yun Xiao.
Although the presence beneath the lake hasn’t awakened, it knows that relying on the Strange Spirit leader alone isn’t enough to handle this human. Or perhaps it’s sensed sothing within Yun Xiao, attempting to use this human’s bones and blood to fully awaken itself.
In any case, Yun Xiao is undoubtedly surrounded and under attack from multiple sides. He decisively chooses the weakest link, which is that Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit.
Swoosh!
A golden light instinctively erupted from Yun Xiao’s body, swiftly engulfing the ninth-order low-grade alien spirit. The latter’s figure suddenly froze, just like the earlier body.
"Damn it, what the hell is this thing?"
Feeling his body unable to move at all, the ninth-order low-grade alien spirit cursed loudly in his heart. Without a human body, he certainly couldn’t shout as he had before.
But how could Yun Xiao care about the spirit’s mood? He moved slightly, narrowly dodging an attack from a water column tentacle from the rear side. Then, his left palm was slamd onto the chest of the ninth-order low-grade alien spirit.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
A series of freezing sounds echoed out. Monts later, Yun Xiao’s left arm released the ancestral vein ice cold power, and the ninth-order low-grade alien spirit was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.
Swoosh!
Yun Xiao moved at lightning speed. Before the ice sculpture fell into the lake, his Thunder Wings flashed behind him, and he caught the ice sculpture and stored it in his Waist Storage.
This was a ninth-order low-grade alien spirit. To Yun Xiao, the ninth-order low-grade Spirit Crystal was undoubtedly of great use. It might even help him break through to the peak of the Seeking Origin Realm or even the half-step Earth Realm.
Bam!
Just as Yun Xiao stored the ice sculpture in his Waist Storage, a water column tentacle suddenly and stealthily slashed down from above, catching him off guard and striking him hard.
Plunge!
Below Yun Xiao was the lake surface of the seventh level of Xuanyin Cave. The force was so strong that it propelled him like a teor, until he felt a coolness—he had fallen entirely into the lake.
"Not good!"
Knowing that a Heavenly Spirit might exist beneath the lake, Yun Xiao felt a chill in his heart, despite his extrely unique state. He had no idea what dangers he would face upon entering the water.
Blub blub blub...
Bubbles surfaced as Yun Xiao struggled to open his eyes underwater. With the dim light, he witnessed a truly majestic sight.
In a part of the lake, a gigantic creature seed utterly motionless. It looked like a ghost drifting in the water, its constantly changing form never leaving that narrow area, appearing extrely mysterious.
"Is that a heavenly-ranked alien spirit?"
Considering the possibility, a bold thought suddenly erged in Yun Xiao’s mind. Judging by its behavior, it hadn’t attacked him yet, nor did it seem to have any conscious awareness. If he could destroy it, perhaps he could rid Tenglong Continent of a major threat.
Of course, Yun Xiao also intended to seize the alien spirit crystal. If it truly was a heavenly-ranked alien spirit, wouldn’t it have a heavenly-ranked spirit crystal?
Back in Thunder King Valley, the heavenly-ranked Thunder King’s Heart brought Yun Xiao great benefits. If he could get another heavenly-ranked alien spirit crystal, allowing his ridian Qi cultivation to break through two levels and reach the Earth Concealing Realm, it was not out of the question.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Just as Yun Xiao pondered, swimming towards the sleeping heavenly-ranked alien spirit, the sound of water echoed above him. Raising his head, his expression changed as he saw nurous water column tentacles descend into the water from all directions, seemingly intending to trap him beneath the lake surface.
At the sa ti, from the vicinity of the sleeping alien spirit, countless more water column tentacles erged, dense and innurable, prompting Yun Xiao to change his earlier plan imdiately.
Swoosh!
Yun Xiao’s body darted like a fish for several yards. He knew he must escape the lake’s range before those tentacles completely encircled him, or else he’d have no chance of survival.
It seed the heavenly-ranked alien spirit sensed Yun Xiao’s threat to it, and at this mont, it was desperate not to let him get closer.
In the lake, once entangled by those tentacles, even Yun Xiao, having broken through to the early stage of the Earth Realm, could only await death with closed eyes.
