223: Chapter 223 Harvest
The giant insect was dead.
Under the ultimate technique of Yin-Yang Life and Death, its life had been extinguished.
The constantly writhing giant insect shuddered all over, and under Ji Yebai's gaze, it stopped twisting and rolling.
Its massive body twitched continuously.
A massive hole appeared at its head; that was where its body had been burst open by Yin-Yang Life and Death.
At this moment, a milky-white liquid emitting a faint fluorescence flowed continuously from the folds of the hole, and accompanied by the twitching of the flesh around the hole, it occasionally squirted the milky-white liquid out.
Wherever the milky-white liquid reached, the Void Realm began to fluctuate, like a stone thrown into a body of water, constantly creating ripples.
Ji Yebai carefully avoided these liquids.
This was the evolution of the blood within the giant insect, and since the giant insect possessed a spatial talent, its blood contained spatial energy factors; now that it was spraying out, it naturally interfered with the surrounding spatial balance.
Large amounts of milky-white liquid poured out through the wrinkled holes on the giant insect's body, and the giant insect's body also rapidly collapsed.
Ji Yebai's body rapidly shrank, returning to the size of a normal person.
He panted heavily, his chest heaving; even for him, such a powerful attack had consumed a vast amount of energy.
The giant insect's body fluid continued to surge out, causing the surrounding Void Realm to constantly ripple.
Ji Yebai took a deep breath and slowly flew outward.
Space was the most complex thing, and even he dared not touch it carelessly.
It would be bad if he were accidentally dragged into a Void Realm rift.
Void Realm rifts were filled with spatial storms, and one would lose their sense of direction; even a Saint-ranker would face great danger if lost within one.
Retreating nearly 100,000 kilometers, Ji Yebai stopped on a small asteroid.
This place was completely unaffected by the giant insect's blood, and space was stable.
Scanning the surroundings, Ji Yebai sat cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes.
Immediately, the vast Universe energy from the surroundings swarmed in.
They all submerged into Ji Yebai's body.
The energy exhausted in his flesh and cells was rapidly replenished.
In normal times, Ji Yebai's body cells contained a large amount of energy, which was the fundamental reason he could enlarge his body.
But maintaining a body size of one hundred meters consumed a tremendous amount.
Furthermore, to kill the giant insect, he had mobilized too much of the Yin and Yang forces within his body; the consumption was simply the greatest in history.
The Void Realm was boundless, silent, and soundless.
Ji Yebai kept his eyes tightly closed, continuously drawing in the energy of the surrounding stars to replenish himself.
Time passed just like that.
Seven days later.
Ji Yebai slowly opened his eyes.
A flash of brilliance flickered in his eyes and vanished.
"My cultivation has improved slightly..."
Ji Yebai's expression was calm, and he felt somewhat pleased.
As a Martial Artist, being able to make progress from every battle was a pleasant thing.
Ji Yebai stood up and looked in the direction of the giant insect.
Although the position had shifted slightly, with Ji Yebai's current eyesight, he found it very easily.
The Void Realm there had stopped, no longer creating ripples; clearly, the spatial energy in the giant insect's blood had been exhausted.
Ji Yebai nodded, a thought moved him, and his body rose into the air, flying toward the giant insect.
Worried about spatial interference, Ji Yebai did not even use Shrinking Ground to an Inch.
He soon arrived at the location of the giant insect.
At this moment, the originally plump and white giant insect had shriveled until only a layer of insect skin remained.
The surrounding milky-white liquid had also evaporated completely.
Even other substances inside the giant insect had disappeared.
Looking at the ten-kilometer-long giant insect skin, Ji Yebai opened his mouth, unsure of what to do for a moment.
He had originally thought he could collect some of the giant insect's flesh, but who would have known that only a shriveled insect skin remained now.
"However..."
Ji Yebai looked at the insect skin emitting a faint fluorescence, and his eyes lit up.
This insect skin was translucent throughout, crystal clear, as if it were jade.
The most crucial part was that this insect skin was covered with layers of profound patterns.
"Good stuff!"
Ji Yebai landed on the insect skin, as if standing on a mountain range of jade.
He squatted down, leaned over, and touched this massive piece of insect skin.
"Swoosh!"
A beam of energy shot out from Ji Yebai's fingertip and landed directly on the insect skin.
In the next instant, the energy merged into the insect skin.
And the crystal-clear patterns on the insect skin immediately lit up layer by layer.
As if being charged, the patterns were lit up one after another.
And at the same time, a hidden fluctuation was generated out of thin air.
"Spatial Barrier!"
Ji Yebai's eyes brightened, and he looked at the one-foot-sized Spatial Barrier before him with excitement.
"What a good thing!"
Ji Yebai smiled.
He had already thought of a use for it.
These patterns were Innate, and they were also the giant insect's Innate talent.
As long as he digested these patterns, he would naturally possess this Spatial Barrier talent.
Ji Yebai pondered.
This giant insect's talent, in fact, was of little use to him personally.
But for the World in the Palm, it was very useful.
The World in the Palm was a space created by Ji Yebai.
Although the World in the Palm was constantly expanding, its barrier was not very strong.
Its essence was still a membrane constructed through Formation nodes.
Although under Ji Yebai's constant refinement, this membrane was thickening and becoming tougher.
But relatively speaking, this membrane was still somewhat fragile.
With Ji Yebai's strength, he could easily puncture this membrane.
This also meant that other Saint-rankers could do the same.
But now, with this layer of insect skin, it would be different.
If the insect skin were merged into the World in the Palm and the patterns on the insect skin were branded onto the membrane of the World in the Palm, then this membrane would also generate a Spatial Barrier.
Even in the future, this Spatial Barrier could continuously grow stronger according to the growth of the World in the Palm.
This would be a layer of protection.
Thinking of this, Ji Yebai walked forward, grabbed the insect skin directly, and wanted to lift it up.
But as soon as he exerted force, Ji Yebai was surprised to find that this insect skin was excessively heavy.
In the end, he had to stimulate the energy in his body to barely lift the insect skin.
"Swoosh!"
Ji Yebai flipped his hand, and the insect skin immediately disappeared.
Replacing it was a one-meter-sized ball of light.
The ball of light was the World in the Palm.
The current World in the Palm had already begun to generate land, rivers, and mountains; he believed that the World in the Palm would be more stable before long.
At this moment.
The insect skin entered the World in the Palm.
Ji Yebai's thoughts moved, and the Five Elements Law of the World in the Palm began to operate.
The entire insect skin immediately began to melt.
And at the same time, a layer of fine patterns appeared on the surface of the World in the Palm light ball.
The patterns continued to form until they finally closed.
"Hum!"
An invisible fluctuation appeared on the surface of the light ball, and then the fluctuation dissipated.
Ji Yebai looked at the light ball with interest.
He stretched out his finger and gently poked at the light ball.
But before his finger could touch the light ball, it was blocked by an invisible barrier.
Ji Yebai looked at the World in the Palm with satisfaction.
He could clearly feel that this barrier was continuously strengthening.
After playing with the World in the Palm for a while, Ji Yebai looked around again, but there was nothing of value.
Ji Yebai adjusted himself again, and only then did he fly toward the wormhole.
Half a day later, Ji Yebai arrived near the wormhole.
The wondrous scene that ordinary people could not observe was perfectly presented in Ji Yebai's eyes.
Ji Yebai stayed by the side of the wormhole for another day, continuously comprehending the fluctuations of the wormhole.
One day later, Ji Yebai stepped into the wormhole.
With a flash, he plunged into the wormhole and disappeared.
