Devouring the Fire Pool's Spiritual Power! The Little Lizard Advances to the Early Stage of the Sea of ​​Gods

Although the rich energy within the Fire Pool was very attractive to Xiao Ming, for safety, he did not jump directly into the pool.

Instead, while Ma Weiwei and Li Jianshi were picking the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Fruit, he sat cross-legged at the edge of the pool.

With his eyes slightly closed, Xiao Ming circulated the Emperor-Grade Heaven-Shocking Art and the Five Elements Saint Body to their limits, beginning to absorb the fire spiritual energy from the Fire Pool.

Whoosh!

A fierce wind suddenly rose!

As the wind howled, five kinds of spiritual light—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—lit up on Xiao Ming’s body surface; this was the unique phenomenon that appeared when the Five Elements Saint Body was activated.

At the same time.

Because he was circulating the Emperor-Grade Heaven-Shocking Art, a powerful suction force also surged from within Xiao Ming’s body!

Under the pull of the suction, streams of pure fire spiritual energy shot out from the Fire Pool, transforming into trickles that poured into Xiao Ming’s body.

The moment the fire energy entered his body, Xiao Ming’s skin immediately turned crimson. His entire being was like a human branding iron, emitting waves of intense heat, and even white mist rose from his head.

This was a peculiar phenomenon caused by the absorption of overly potent and domineering fire spiritual energy.

If it were an ordinary martial artist, he would absolutely not dare to swallow fire spiritual energy in such large quantities, as that would cause his physical body to collapse.

But Xiao Ming was different.

He had the Five Elements Saint Body!

Under the effect of the Five Elements Saint Body, the violent fire spiritual energy was quickly calmed, then transformed into the purest and gentlest energy, which Xiao Ming absorbed one by one.

As time passed.

Many of the anomalies on Xiao Ming’s body slowly disappeared, and he entered a stable state. At the same time, the aura he emitted began to rise steadily.

Three days later.

Ma Weiwei and Li Jianshi had already completed their task of picking spirit fruits, but they did not leave; instead, they guarded Xiao Ming, waiting quietly by his side.

Firstly, Xiao Ming was currently at a critical moment; his aura had climbed to its peak, and he could break through at any time.

Secondly.

Without Xiao Ming’s help, they feared they would not be able to safely rush out.

After all, there were still many powerful Fire Rhinoceros Beasts in the second layer outside, and besides the Fire Rhinoceros Beasts, the three elite disciples from Ziguang City were also a potential threat.

Just as the two were quietly waiting.

Xiao Ming suddenly reacted!

With a “bang”!

A deep sonic boom echoed within Xiao Ming’s body, a sound like muffled thunder, exploding with a roar!

At this moment.

Xiao Ming’s aura suddenly soared, successfully advancing to the Half-Step Royal Qi Realm!

After breaking through his Cultivation Level, Xiao Ming did not get up; he merely slowly opened his eyes.

“Brother Xiao, have you broken through your Cultivation Level?!” Ma Weiwei asked in surprise.

Li Jianshi also had an excited expression.

The stronger Xiao Ming’s power, the stronger the protection they could receive. Now that Xiao Ming had advanced to the Half-Step Royal Qi Realm, their safety had significantly increased.

“Yes, my luck was good; I successfully advanced,” Xiao Ming said, nodding slightly while feeling the powerful energy within his body.

“Since you’ve broken through your Cultivation Level, let’s go out!” Ma Weiwei said. “We can only stay here for half a month at most. Now, there are only about ten days left until the Fire Domain closes.”

However.

Xiao Ming shook his head.

“You still plan to continue cultivating?” Seeing this, Ma Weiwei said in astonishment, “The Fire Domain has been sealed by the joint efforts of the three major cities. Once one reaches the true Yuqi Realm, they will be forcibly squeezed out by the power of the formation.”

“You…”

“I know that,” Xiao Ming nodded slightly and smiled, “However, as long as I don’t break through this limit, won’t it be fine?”

After speaking.

Xiao Ming mobilized the true essence energy within his body, forming a protective film on his body surface, then his body leaped, and he directly jumped into the Fire Pool!

His plan was very simple.

It was to absorb as much of the pure fire spiritual energy from the Fire Pool as possible, as this kind of thing was rare and hard to come by. Once this opportunity was missed, it would be gone.

As for the problem of being squeezed out by the formation’s power upon breaking through to the true Yuqi Realm, Xiao Ming also had a solution.

That was to.

Forcibly suppress his Cultivation Level, absorb the fire spiritual energy to the maximum extent, and then break through and advance once he was outside.

His figure landed in the Fire Pool, and Xiao Ming’s body was submerged by the rich fire spiritual energy, with only a small part of his body exposed. At the same time, he once again activated the Royal Sky Shocking Art and the Five Elements Saint Body, continuing to devour the violent energy around him.

Waves of powerful and violent fire spiritual energy once again poured into Xiao Ming’s body, enhancing his true essence energy.

And after advancing to the Half-Step Royal Qi Realm.

Xiao Ming clearly felt that the speed at which he refined fire spiritual energy had suddenly increased significantly!

At the current speed, it would take him at most about seven days to completely devour and absorb all the power of the entire Fire Pool!

After seeing Xiao Ming’s actions, Ma Weiwei and Li Jianshi were quite helpless, but there was nothing they could do.

They could only wait for Xiao Ming to finish cultivating.

Time passed bit by bit.

Approximately five days later.

Xiao Ming’s aura once again surged, which was the prelude to preparing to impact the true Yuqi Realm!

However.

His aura had just begun to rise when Xiao Ming actively and forcibly interrupted it, because it was not yet time to advance.

After stabilizing his Cultivation Level, Xiao Ming once again absorbed the surrounding fire spiritual energy, and at the same time, he also noticed that the Fire Pool had undergone obvious changes.

After his continuous devouring day and night, the Fire Pool had now become very dim. The fire spiritual energy contained within it had not only become sparse but was also no longer as violent.

More importantly.

The remaining spiritual liquid in the Fire Pool was only a quarter of its original amount, and three-quarters of it had been completely absorbed by Xiao Ming.

At the current depth of the spiritual liquid, it only reached Xiao Ming’s knees, and the spiritual energy contained within it was no longer as rich as before.

After some thought.

Xiao Ming opened his spirit beast bag and released Little Lizard.

Little Lizard was also fire-attributed; now that the Fire Pool’s energy was limited, it was just right for it to safely devour.

Little Lizard, released by Xiao Ming, plunged into the Fire Pool, happily frolicking within it, but soon, it discovered the profundity of the Fire Pool.

Without Xiao Ming’s command, Little Lizard opened its mouth, filled with sharp teeth, and began to devour the fire spiritual liquid in large gulps.

One day later.

Little Lizard successfully advanced to the Great Perfection of Yuangang Realm.

And the water level in the Fire Pool also plummeted significantly, barely covering Xiao Ming’s ankles.

Another day passed.

The Fire Pool completely dried up, turning into a bare pit.

And Little Lizard’s Cultivation Level advanced further, successfully reaching the Divine Sea Realm, achieving the early stage of the Divine Sea Realm!

When Little Lizard was first released, it was only at the early stage of Yuangang Realm, and now, it had crossed an entire major Cultivation Level!

It must be said.

Even if the Fire Pool only had a very small amount of residual energy, for Little Lizard, it was a great tonic!

Xiao Ming patted the joyful Little Lizard, threw it into his spirit beast bag, then his body swayed, and he flew out of the Fire Pool.

Ma Weiwei and Li Jianshi immediately cast expectant gazes.

“Brother Xiao, are we going out now?” Ma Weiwei asked.

“There are no more opportunities here; it’s time to leave,” Xiao Ming smiled, then was the first to fly outwards.

Seeing this.

Ma Weiwei and Li Jianshi quickly followed.

The trio flew through the third layer’s passage, crossed the boundless second-layer wasteland, and then passed through the first layer’s magma land.

Their gaze swept across, and they saw that the initial entrance to the Fire Domain Grotto-heaven was right before their eyes.
