109: Cut off everyone

With Li Nankai, a Nascent Soul Stage overlord, protecting them, the people below immediately stopped moving, only glaring fiercely at Black Abyss.

On the other side, the Profound Moon Sect’s people looked extremely grim.

Because Su Xiaobai’s interception was indiscriminate, even they were not an exception.

“Damn it! If Senior Brother Xiaobai were here, how could he be so rampant?”

“Exactly! When the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king!”

Ling Xiao and the others also frowned deeply.

Even they couldn't snatch a shred of spiritual power from Black Abyss; that astonishing suction force was too overbearing!

Dongfang Qian Yue crossed her arms, her beautiful eyes narrowed as she observed Black Abyss, not knowing what she was thinking, but she did not stop him.

As for Wang Shouyang, he hadn't moved from beginning to end, a hint of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth.

“Tsk! A bunch of country bumpkins, what’s there to fight over such a small amount of spiritual power?”

On the Star Plucking Stage.

Su Xiaobai was fully focused on absorbing the spiritual power he had intercepted; he was surprised to find that this power was extraordinary!

Ordinary spiritual power was just simple energy; for those with mediocre Aptitude, their upper limit was fixed, and they couldn't absorb much at all.

But now, this special spiritual power had the effect of refining muscles and marrow, and improving Aptitude!

“It’s a good thing I intercepted early. If they found out that this spiritual power baptism also had the effect of improving Aptitude, they would definitely fight me for it with their lives,” Su Xiaobai thought with relief.

Improving Aptitude was something countless people racked their brains to obtain, enough to drive people crazy!

He had previously Cultivated the “Yin and Yang Marrow Cleansing Art” and underwent Dual Cultivation with Dongfang Qian Yue, which allowed him to raise his Spiritual Root to the High Grade Spiritual Root level.

But it was still one level short of the higher-level Perfect Spiritual Root.

“This spiritual power might be able to help me elevate my Aptitude to the Perfect Spiritual Root level!” he muttered to himself.

Dongfang Qian Yue also possessed a Perfect Spiritual Root; only if his Aptitude was not weaker than hers would he have hope of surpassing her.

At that time, he would definitely return all the oppression and fright he had suffered over the past few years, twofold!

His aura began to gradually rise, and a faint pressure emanated from within him.

But at the same time, a trace of pain appeared between his brows.

So much spiritual power pouring in, all absorbed by him; how vast was its energy? Even he was not feeling well.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have long since exploded and died.

“Heh, a snake trying to swallow an elephant with insufficient ambition. Isn’t he afraid of bursting?”

“Exactly! He’s just waiting to explode and die!”

Everyone was waiting to see Black Abyss explode and die.

But to their disappointment, although Su Xiaobai showed pain, there was no sign of his body collapsing.

Having Cultivated the Ancient Celestial Destruction Art, how could he face such a scene as exploding and dying?

The reason for the pain was simply that the vast spiritual power pouring into his meridians was indeed uncomfortable.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Su Xiaobai’s aura had already risen to the Peak of Foundation Establishment Late Stage, just a hair’s breadth away from breaking through to Core Formation!

In his Dantian, a nascent Golden Core began to condense, and a wisp of golden light emanated from within him.

“Brother, he’s going to condense his Golden Core!” White Flower clenched her fists, her pretty face excited.

The Nascent Soul Stage Elder from another first-grade Star Plucking Stage of the Ghost Gate Sect also came behind Su Xiaobai.

The two great Nascent Soul Elders stood with their hands behind their backs, guarding Su Xiaobai like Protectors.

“You just focus on your Breakthrough; no one here can harm you,” the two Elders said calmly, their tone revealing a deep domineering aura.

Su Xiaobai was crying tears of joy internally.

Family, who understands? After infiltrating the enemy’s ranks, they treated him like a treasure!

Roar!!!

Suddenly! An impassioned Dragon roar erupted from within him, echoing through the sky!

A shining Dragon pattern appeared on his Golden Core.

Golden Cores were also divided into different grades, and their classification was based on the number of Dragon patterns.

One to three Dragon patterns constituted a Low Grade Golden Core.

Four to six Dragon patterns constituted a Medium Grade Golden Core.

Seven Dragon patterns constituted a High Grade Golden Core.

Eight Dragon patterns constituted a Perfection Golden Core.

Nine Dragon patterns constituted a Perfect Golden Core.

A Low Grade Golden Core, if one didn’t encounter any Opportunity in this life, would basically remain at the Core Formation Stage.

A Medium Grade Golden Core, however, had hope of breaking through to Nascent Soul; a higher quality Medium Grade Golden Core, if it encountered some Opportunity, could even reach the Infant Transformation Stage.

As for the Void Soul Realm beyond that, at least a High Grade Golden Core was required to possibly achieve it.

The known Sect Head of Profound Moon Sect, Zhou Daoya, and the Sect Head of Ghost Gate Sect, Demon Shadowless, both possessed seven Dragon patterns, a High Grade Golden Core.

“Young man, with our two great Elders personally protecting you, let me see what level you can reach?”

“Don’t let it just be a Low Grade Golden Core, or don’t blame this old man for being impolite.”

The two Elders of the Ghost Gate Sect said sternly.

The other Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples present also held their breath, watching Black Abyss’s Breakthrough.

“The phenomenon of Foundation Establishment breaking through to Core Formation is a rare Opportunity; you two also watch carefully, it will be of great benefit to your future,” Dongfang Qian Yue said to Ling Xiao and Qin Xiaochán.

“Yes!” The two nodded.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Three consecutive Dragon roars came.

Su Xiaobai’s Golden Core was already engraved with four Dragon patterns, reaching the level of a Medium Grade Golden Core.

“Engraving three Dragon patterns in one go, this Black Abyss’s Aptitude is not to be underestimated,” a Core Formation Stage Cultivator said solemnly.

“It’s too early to draw conclusions now; the quality of a Core Formation is not judged by the speed of engraving Dragon patterns,” someone said jealously.

Roar! Roar!

But before he could finish speaking, two more Dragon roars came from Su Xiaobai’s side.

“Six Dragon patterns, it’s already a six-Dragon pattern Golden Core! Just a hair’s breadth away from breaking through to the High Grade Golden Core level!” someone exclaimed.

“Reaching a High Grade Golden Core means there’s hope of achieving the Void Soul Realm in the future. Can this young man break through to a High Grade Golden Core?”

Behind Su Xiaobai, the two Ghost Gate Sect Elders frowned tightly, their hearts involuntarily becoming nervous.

A quarter of an hour later.

Roar!!!

A fierce Dragon roar once again erupted from within Su Xiaobai!

Seven Dragon patterns, High Grade Golden Core!

Moreover, Su Xiaobai still showed no signs of stopping; his aura continued to rise.

He still wanted to continue improving!

“All Ghost Gate Sect Disciples, listen to my command, protect Black Abyss!!!”

The two great Ghost Gate Sect Elders could no longer remain calm and immediately rallied all Ghost Gate Sect Disciples to protect Su Xiaobai.

If Su Xiaobai could truly achieve an eight-Dragon pattern Golden Core, then their Ghost Gate Sect would gain another peerless expert in the Void Soul Realm, or even a higher Realm, in the future!

This action concerned the future prospects of the Ghost Gate Sect, and no carelessness could be afforded!

Upon receiving the order, all Ghost Gate Sect Disciples immediately flew up and surrounded Su Xiaobai.

On Profound Moon Sect’s side, everyone’s expressions were solemn.

A short-haired man came to Dongfang Qian Yue’s side and said anxiously, “Junior Sister Oriental, this Disciple of the Ghost Gate Sect has Heaven-Defying Aptitude. We cannot let him break through so smoothly!”

The person who arrived was Ling Xiao’s Senior Brother, Zhou Daoya’s eldest Disciple, and also the Great Master of Profound Moon Sect—Li Zizai.

He looked at Dongfang Qian Yue with a serious expression; the Ghost Gate Sect had two Nascent Soul Realm Protectors, and only she and Wang Shouyang could pose a threat to them.

Dongfang Qian Yue showed a thoughtful expression, then looked towards Su Xiaobai on the opposite side.
