This was the ultimate goal of all Xu Fan's plans!
Earlier, when Xu Fan discovered that he could temporarily enhance his own strength by borrowing Bai Ying's power, he quickly set this plan in his mind.
The first step was to win Bai Ying's trust while also lulling the Golden Ape into ignoring Xu Fan's existence.
The second step was for Xu Fan to feign unconsciousness, further lulling the Golden Ape into ignoring his presence, while allowing Bai Ying to continuously lend Xu Fan a trace of energy during each interval of Spiritual Power recovery.
These two steps seem incredibly simple, yet their execution is exceedingly difficult. Every detail must be flawless, and whether it's lulling the Golden Ape or winning Bai Ying's trust, both are imnsely challenging tasks.
Fortunately, Xu Fan succeeded. These two steps were executed with surprise but without danger, and everything is developing in the direction Xu Fan envisioned.
Now, what Xu Fan needs to do is secretly accumulate as much power as possible, waiting for the right mont to execute the third step of the plan.
The so-called third step is, of course, the ultimate showdown with the Golden Ape!
One Bai Ying is naturally no match for the Golden Ape, but what if we add Xu Fan to the equation? By borrowing Bai Ying's power repeatedly, Xu Fan's strength will ultimately be close to Bai Ying's! aning, after the Golden Ape expends a huge amount of Spiritual Power to break through the restraints, what it will face are two Bai Yings!
At the Golden Ape's level of strength, one plus one is by no ans as simple as equals two! One plus one can sotis be positive infinity! Two Bai Yings can sweep through the Golden Ape with overwhelming montum!
This is Xu Fan's entire plan! However, this plan is not without its flaws. Xu Fan overlooked the severity of borrowing power.
In the Cultivation World, whether cultivators or demon beasts, power levels are extrely strict. Xu Fan uses the Beast Taming Art to gain power that does not belong to him, which is against the norms of the Cultivation World. The most critical point is that Bai Ying's power level is beyond Xu Fan's!
Even with the Jade Silkworm's wonders, it cannot cross power levels to absorb energy, yet Xu Fan forcibly attempts it! Thus, one can imagine how painful Xu Fan is at this mont!
The energy transmitted by Bai Ying, carrying a unique coldness, seeped into Xu Fan's body, flowing through his ridians.
Absorbing energy is extrely enjoyable for cultivators, yet at this mont Xu Fan's body twitched slightly. Without trendous willpower, Xu Fan might have already been exposed and faced deadly consequences!
Bai Ying's energy level is evidently higher than Xu Fan's level! It seems to exist above the Zhiwei Realm! Although the process of borrowing Spiritual Power is like drawing silk, each trace of energy is like a sharp blade slicing through Xu Fan's ridians.
The intense pain almost caused Xu Fan to truly pass out, yet Xu Fan relied on his steel-like willpower to guard a sliver of clarity in his Spiritual Platform, forcibly controlling his body to prevent any shaking.
How terrifying is the Golden Ape's strength? Moreover, the Golden Ape has survived for over a thousand years! Sharp-eyed! Sly-minded! Xu Fan barely managed to devise a perfect plan. How could he risk exposure at this mont?
It can almost be said that all unknowns and variables rest entirely on Xu Fan!
If Xu Fan successfully accumulates power, the Golden Ape dies! If Xu Fan fails to accumulate power, Xu Fan dies! Bai Ying also faces dire consequences!
Therefore, Xu Fan absolutely cannot allow even the slightest mistake!
Four quarters of an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The Golden Ape's eyes were firmly fixed on Bai Ying, always feeling sothing was amiss.
In the Golden Ape's mory, Bai Ying usually took about three quarters of an hour to recover Spiritual Power, but now Bai Ying spent nearly an extra quarter of an hour.
Initially, the Golden Ape wanted several tis to directly intervene and forcibly interrupt Bai Ying, but upon finding Bai Ying still under the leash's control, the Golden Ape forcibly held back.
As long as Bai Ying still had Xu Fan's ntal lock within her mind, Bai Ying's fate was in the Golden Ape's hands. If the Golden Ape noticed anything wrong, it could directly kill Xu Fan, and Bai Ying would naturally perish as well.
"Probably just woke up, or is not focused, wanting to escape my control," the Golden Ape thought.
Holding absolute leverage, the Golden Ape did not mind these small anomalies. Today's events were what the Golden Ape had planned for a millennium — it was all predetermined!
No one can escape the Golden Ape's grasp!
"Since you've recovered your Spiritual Power, let's begin!" Seeing Bai Ying open her eyes, the Golden Ape impatiently urged.
Bai Ying's small anomaly didn't unsettle the Golden Ape, but it didn't an the Golden Ape had patience; having been imprisoned here for a thousand years, the Golden Ape desperately wished to fly out and didn't want to stay a second longer!
"Alright!"
Bai Ying was surprisingly compliant, seemingly having co to terms with reality, aligning with the Golden Ape's views. Without any delay she rose, following the Golden Ape's instructions to unleash energy toward a restriction.
For no apparent reason, the Golden Ape felt sothing was off again. However, even upon reflection, the Golden Ape couldn't pinpoint where the anomaly lay.
With Bai Ying's attack on the restriction, it began activating; the Golden Ape had no ti to ponder further, suppressing its doubts, directing its full attention to the restriction.
At this very mont, behind them, Xu Fan, who had been "unconscious," began trembling violently, sweat the size of soybeans trickling down his forehead, soon soaking him.
Bai Ying's change in attitude naturally ca from Xu Fan's command; at that mont, Xu Fan had reached his limit of endurance!
When a body suffers impact, violent trembling is a form of self-protection, an instinct. And Xu Fan, to escape the Golden Ape's watchful gaze, used his willpower to suppress his instincts! Such pain is unimaginable!
Thus, Xu Fan disregarded the possibility of the Golden Ape becoming suspicious, directly commanding Bai Ying to rise and distract the Golden Ape, while releasing all his agony.
There are high-level and low-level distinctions in energy, fortunately Xu Fan's golden Spiritual Power far exceeds the existence of similar energy, thus preventing him from exploding and dying; he rely endures extre pain.
Even more providential is as Bai Ying's energy sliced through Xu Fan's ridians, the flowing golden Spiritual Power stitched them back, making the previously fragnted ridians even more resilient!
