After Zheng-Fu reached out and touched the Erald Turtle Monster Deity's head, a huge amount of energy wave flowed through his arm into his body before rushing through his entire body, causing him to feel intense pain.
"Be patient! Don't let... (go)... of... your hand! Otherwise, everything is... considered... over!
Erald Turtle Monster Deity spoke clearer and faster than before when testing began. But even so, there were still so words missing.
Ah!
Aaaaaaaah!
Ouuuuch!
Zheng-Fu heard the Erald Turtle Monster Deity speak every word. Therefore, he had to patiently not let go of the Erald Turtle Monster Deity's head.
['Subdue Heaven, Command World' Energy Cultivation Technique]
Whooooosh!!!
Zheng-Fu knew that he would definitely die and explode if he did not find a way to do sothing. So, he had to absorb this energy by using the 'Subdue Heaven, Command World' Energy Cultivation Technique, which was a Supre Deity cultivation skill that could absorb the energy of different species to be his own.
"What crazy energy is this! Really crazy! But there's no way I'm giving up!"
Arrrrrrrgh!!!
Boooooom!!!
The third level of the Deity Apprentice Stage!
Zheng-Fu's energy level suddenly skyrocketed and broke through to the third level in a short ti with the energy he had absorbed.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
At the sa ti, the surrounding golden crystals slowly disintegrated and disappeared one by one.
"I already thought... that you must... be the person I've been waiting for!" Erald Turtle Monster Deity looked very happy to see that Zheng-Fu was still able to endure without his body disintegrating. But in reality, if Zheng-Fu removed his hand from his head, the ritual would end. And nothing would happen to Zheng-Fu as he had threatened.
Umm!
Zheng-Fu wanted to answer the Erald Turtle Monster Deity. But he had to focus all of his energy on absorbing and reorienting the energy flowing into his body without causing it to beco agitated. He, therefore, could not say anything but let out a soft moan instead.
Back to Jin-Tian and Guo-Dong's group...
After Zheng-Fu disappeared, the group set out again. And soon they encountered a number of demon monster beasts who got in the way. However, these demon monster beasts did not have as high energy levels as the ones they had passed. The strongest one was only at the fifth level of the Deity Soul stage. Guo-Dong and his comrades were able to deal with them easily.
As they went deeper and deeper, they began to encounter higher and higher-level demon monster beasts. But it was still not beyond this group's ability to handle them.
"It's different from the previous area. It's like this place is heaven, and the way we went past is hell. Huh! If those guys get here right now, I don't know what they would think!" Qiu-Zhen said with a happy expression that he did not have to face the sa terrifying situation as the tunnel entrance.
"They must be crazy and furious! Moreover, if they know that what happened was because of our Comrade Le-Fu, then they would be angry and bla us heavily. Ha ha ha!" Boon-Leng also thought about what would happen if those great skilled masters knew the truth.
"Whether they know it, their group has suffered a lot of damage, they're naturally going to be angry and resentful. Because everyone has heard that this tunnel wasn't scary and that there weren't so many demon monster beasts. But what we encountered, even Demon Monster Race people like can't help but get goosebumps!" Lu-Qun interjected with a look of fear on his face.
Hah!?
"Lu-Qun, since when did you beco so talkative?"
"You dare say I'm a talkative person, Boon-Leng!? Have you forgotten who it is that likes to talk a lot?" Lu-Qun suddenly realized that he was talking a lot more than usual. However, he still kept a serious face as he responded to Boon-Leng.
You!
"Co on! It's not far and we'll reach the finish line. From now on, everyone should be more careful. After all, anything can happen in the anti!" Jin-Tian thought that they should hurry to continue their journey. And he warned everyone to be more careful than before. Because he suspected that there might be hidden dangers on the path ahead.
We understand!
Shortly after Guo-Dong and Jin-Tian's group left, a group of people arrived and stopped at the spot where they had stopped just now. The people in this group did not look ordinary at all. The aura and killing intent they emitted around them were extrely fierce and frightening.
Thump!!!
"I didn't think anyone would be able to break into this area after we had stirred the demon monster beast hordes inside and outside the cave into such a frenzy," said a middle-aged demon monster from the mysterious group. His appearance was similar to that of a human, only he had gills for breathing like a fish, and his teeth were sharp like those of a shark.
"No matter how they got through, we must quickly exterminate them before our plan is completed. Because if anyone can reach the finish line first, our plan will fail!" another middle-aged demon monster said in a cold voice. He had a similar appearance to the first one but was slightly thinner.
"That's right! They must be exterminated! Don't let them reach the finish line. Go ahead! Go kill them!" Suddenly, an elder with fierce eyes spoke up, before ordering everyone there to chase and eliminate Jin-Tian's group.
"Yes, sir, Elder!"
Flap! Flap! Flap!
In the blink of an eye, six to seven middle-aged demon monsters quickly rushed out in the direction Guo-Dong's group was heading.
At Guo-Dong's group...
Hah!
Jin-Tian suddenly had an expression of shock that he had never had before. And he was still for a mont.
"What happened, Jin-Tian?" Xi-Dian imdiately asked worriedly when she saw Jin-Tian's expression.
"Sothing is following us. And there seems to be clear killing intent radiating from their bodies. Everyone, be more careful!" Jin-Tian did not conceal what he sensed. He said it directly so that everyone would know and be very careful.
Ah!
"Or they're Deity stage demon monster beasts?" Boon-Leng could not help but exclaim in fear. He still had not forgotten what Zheng-Fu had said that there might be soone more powerful than the Half-Deity stage waiting for them ahead.
"You really are a foul-mouthed person, Boon-Leng! Can you say sothing auspicious?" Qiu-Zhen imdiately turned around and loudly scolded Boon-Leng because Boon-Leng's words made everyone feel very demoralized. No one wanted to face the enemies of that level.
"I didn't an to say it. But I couldn't help but think. Or did you guys not think of it!?" Boon-Leng knew he should not have said such a thing. But he could not help speaking according to his personality.
"Even if we think, we didn't say it! Another thing..."
"Enough! It's exactly as Master Boon-Leng said. Those people are actually at the Deity Apprentice Stage. But you don't have to worry, they can't do anything to us. Let's continue. I'll stay behind to protect you all. As for leading the way, let Master Lu-Qun take charge." Jin-Tian thought that their argunts were wasting ti on the journey. So, he told everyone the truth about the strength of the coming people. But in order not to frighten them, without explaining why, he assured them that everyone would be safe from those people.
Umm!
The five wanted to know more. But seeing Jin-Tian's serious expression and eyes, they chose not to say or ask anything. They all started to travel again at a faster speed than before.
"They increased their speed!"
"Or will they know that we are following them?"
The change in the Guo-Dong group's movent speed caused the group of people following them to be extrely surprised. Because everyone had concealed and camouflaged themselves well. They were at the Deity Apprentice Stage. There was no way that the lower energy level cultivators would be able to sense them.
"They're just Deity Soul stage cultivators, they shouldn't have known about our arrival. Co on! No matter the reason for their increase in speed, we must speed up to reach them and kill them all as quickly as possible! Hurry, speed up!" The middle-aged demon monster at the front spoke up, telling everyone to ignore all nonsense and speed up even more.
"Yes, sir!!!"
As soon as the group heard the command, they all responded and increased their speed to be able to catch up with Guo-Dong's group.
After three days had passed, in the large cave hall where Zheng-Fu was...
Boooooom!!!
The first level of the Heavenly Deity Originate Stage!
Aaaaaaaah!!!
Groooaaan!!!
After Zheng-Fu spent six full days absorbing the multitude of energy received from the Erald Turtle Monster Deity, the crazy and fierce energy finally subsided. In these six days, Zheng-Fu had broken through many levels. And today, he was able to successfully break through the ninth level of the Deity Apprentice Stage to the Heavenly Deity Originate Stage.
However, this kind of rapid promotion had a negative effect on Zheng-Fu as well. Because of this enormous increase in energy, he was unable to control his energy well enough. Just him letting out a shout, the cave suddenly shook so hard that it almost collapsed.
"I never thought you would be able to absorb so much of my energy so quickly. In just six days, you were able to absorb all of them. Oh, how... Sigh! I don't know what to compare you to. But so be it! Anyway, what I hoped for has co true!"
Erald Turtle Monster Deity spoke up. He could now speak clearly, and no words were missed or stuck. It was as if he had changed into a different person.
"Did you plan to kill ?! Why didn't you tell more clearly from the beginning? If it weren't for the fact that I was lucky enough to have a secret technique, I'd have exploded to death because I couldn't accept the energy you gave !" But Zheng-Fu was not happy at all. Instead, he felt very angry and dissatisfied with the Erald Turtle Monster Deity. Because if he did not have the Energy Cultivation Technique, he would already be dead.
"Co on! Why do you think so much? Isn't that, at least, what you've received now considered compensation? In just six days, you were able to advance your energy level from the Deity Apprentice Stage to the first level of the Heavenly Deity Originate Stage." Erald Turtle Monster Deity tried to make an excuse by citing Zheng-Fu's increased energy level.
Tch!
"All right! I won't be angry or bla you. But I'm still not satisfied with this. You must give more to comfort !" Zheng-Fu slowly cald down, before smiling and demanding additional compensation from Erald Turtle Monster Deity.
You!
"You're so greedy! Just the energy you received is more than enough!" Erald Turtle Monster Deity nearly coughed out blood when he heard Zheng-Fu's words. Because what he had given was already enormous.
More than enough!?
"Not at all, Erald Turtle Monster Deity! You know that soon I'll have to enter Deity Land. This energy level isn't enough for to help Fu-Er. So, whatever can increase my strength, I'll take it all!" Zheng-Fu replied, rubbing his hands like a greedy rchant and smiling at the corners of his mouth at the sa ti.
You!
