“My spiritual power… my spiritual power is draining!”
Lin Bei cried out in surprise.
Although his spiritual power was sealed, he could still clearly feel that the spiritual power in his body was gradually weakening…!
One of the signs was…
His spiritual sense was continuously decreasing, thus his ability to capture the surrounding environment was continuously deteriorating!
In the end, he felt as if he had become an ordinary person. He no longer had the spiritual power judgment that a cultivator should have…
“What cultivation technique is this!?”
“Who is this guy! ?”
Lin Bei looked at the Fire Sect Master in fear.
The others also looked at the Fire Sect Master, their eyes filled with fear.
A terrifying guy who could absorb spiritual power…
Was this the cultivation method of the Central Plains?
How could there be such a strange cultivation method in the world?
Everyone’s voice trembled with fear.
Only then, they gradually understood the fear that Lin Susu and the others had toward this guy…
They were like fish on a chopping board in the face of such absolute power, waiting to be slaughtered…
“I heard that he had used this ability to absorb all of the spiritual power of the Green Dragon Sword Spirit…”
“No wonder… No wonder even an expert like Ye Lingxuan died in the mystic realm… facing such a terrifying power, let alone spiritual pedestal realm cultivators, even core formation realm cultivators wouldn’t be able to fight back at all…”
Fear spread in the hearts of everyone present.
The fighting spirit that had filled them when they first met the Fire Sect Master gradually dissipated at this moment…
Under everyone’s panicked gazes, the black-robed Fire Sect Master’s spiritual power continued to increase.
He absorbed the spiritual power of more than 40 cultivators, including four or five spiritual pedestal realm cultivators.
This resulted in the rise of his aura to a terrifying height.
After the Fire Sect Master absorbed everyone’s spiritual power…
Wang Shuang, who was standing beside him, felt this terrifying aura and felt his knees go weak. He almost knelt down.
‘What a powerful aura…
‘Just the spiritual power that was released made people want to surrender uncontrollably…’
Wang Shuang thought in fear.
On the other hand, the Fire Sect Master…
“Hu…”
He let out a long breath and withdrew the Spirit-Absorbing Grand Magic.
At the same time…
In the prison cells, the blood-red light on all the cultivators’ bodies disappeared and they instantly collapsed to the ground.
The Fire Sect Master glanced at the prison cell coldly.
Perhaps due to it being only a clone, he didn’t have too many emotional fluctuations.
He only lightly patted Wang Shuang’s shoulder and said in a low voice, “Well done. Wait for my command.”
Then, his body turned into a streak of fire and disappeared from the cell.
After watching him leave for a long time, Wang Shuang’s body softened. He held onto the railing by his side and panted heavily…
‘So strong…
‘Such strong spiritual power…
‘Was this… The strength of the Spirit-Absorbing Grand Magic?’
Wang Shuang’s face was full of excitement. When he recalled the scene of the Fire Sect Master performing the Spirit-Absorbing Grand Magic, his eyes were greedy and drooling…
Hua…
A moment later, a streak of fiery light shot up into the sky and streaked across Green Dragon Ridge.
Finally, it landed in the main hall of Green Dragon Ridge.
It was the Fire Sect Master’s clone.
After arriving at Green Dragon Ridge, he did not stop. He directly turned into a streak of fiery light and entered the rear hall of the Green Dragon Ridge with a swoosh.
The Green Dragon Heaven and Earth Formation was still standing in the center of the rear hall.
However, the clone did not touch the formation. When it was a few inches away from the spell, it disappeared into thin air.
The clone of the Central Plain’s Divine Fire Sect could self-deactivate itself.
Once the clone was deactivated, as long as it was within five meters to the host, the clone’s spiritual power would be transmitted back to the host.
This martial arts technique was not affected by any spell.
Therefore, when the clone of the Fire Sect Master disappeared, the aura of the Fire Sect Master in the Green Dragon Heaven and Earth Formation suddenly increased.
In his dantian, a surge of spiritual power seemed to have appeared out of thin air!
Master Lingkong who was on the other side felt it in an instant. The Fire Sect Master’s aura had increased by four to five times!
“This is…”
Master Lingkong opened his eyes,
‘Clone fusion… ?
‘No, no, the strength of a clone couldn’t be so great…
‘Unless…
‘Spirit-Absorbing Grand Magic… ?’
A word came up in Master Lingkong’s mind.
That’s right. As an old monster who had lived for 300 years, Master Lingkong’s knowledge was naturally far greater than others.
Junior disciples had never heard of the Spirit-Absorbing Grand Magic.
However, more than 200 years ago, when Master Lingkong first went to the Central Plains, he had seen it with his own eyes. At that time, many experts of the Central Plains would use this strange cultivation technique.
However, because this cultivation technique was too strange, over 150 years ago, more than 100 experts from the Eastern and Central Plains had joined forces to kill all the cultivators who practiced this cultivation technique.
After that, the Spirit-Absorbing Grand Magic had never appeared in the world again.
‘Huo Lingzi, that b*stard, had said a few days ago that he had absorbed the spiritual energy of the spirit dragon.
‘At that time, I had figured that this fellow must have grasped this strange cultivation technique.
‘I just didn’t expect that he would actually cultivate this cultivation technique to the extent where… he could even use it with a clone?”
Master Lingkong furrowed his brows.
A sense of crisis told him that this variable that was out of his calculations would very likely affect his plans…
Master Lingkong quietly looked at the Fire Sect Master as he thought of a countermeasure.
On the other side, after the Fire Sect Master received all of the spiritual energy from his clone, he entered a state of enlightenment.
That’s right, he was prepared to use this energy to directly breakthrough to the nascent soul realm!
Just like what Master Lingkong said, this Green Dragon Heaven and Earth Formation could be broken by no one other than an individual in the nascent soul realm!
Therefore, if he wanted to escape as soon as possible, this was the only way.
“Zi Zi Zi…”
The raging spiritual energy of fire created streaks of fire light that lingered around his body.
Countless law and spiritual energy patterns circled around the Fire Sect Master’s body.
Master Lingkong recognized it — this was a sign of a breakthrough!
‘This guy… wants to directly breakthrough to the nascent soul realm?’
Master Lingkong’s gaze was filled with complicated emotions.
He naturally hoped that Huo Lingzi would fail his breakthrough and be taken away by the Green Dragon Heaven and Earth Formation along with him.
However, at this moment, he couldn’t use any spiritual energy.
In this state, he couldn’t even get close to his opponent, let alone interrupt his breakthrough.
Therefore, Master Lingkong could only sit quietly and wait for the Fire Sect Master to have a moment of enlightenment.
One day…
Two days…
Three days…
Such a state continued for three days…
Three days later, a streak of bright flame condensed and sublimated like gold, and circled around the body of the Fire Sect Master.
Finally, with a ‘Boom’!
A fire nascent soul condensed from flames slowly rose from the back of the Fire Sect Master!
Nascent soul realm… Breakthrough!
