Thoughts flashed through Grai's mind.
For Mu Zi to completely hand over his body to the Netherworld King, the Netherworld King must have promised him something important. For example, destroying the Ninth Shade Faction to avenge Wang Zhong? When the Netherworld King was killing people just now, he seemed to have faintly mentioned that he wanted to destroy the entire Ninth Shade Faction. This campsite was just an appetizer to his wish. Then, at that moment, the Netherworld King, who was controlling Mu Zi's body, most likely rushed to the Ninth Shade Faction! He had to complete his promise to Mu Zi. Only then would he be able to completely control Mu Zi's body without any resistance from Mu Zi's will. He would then achieve the most perfect fusion that the Netherworld King dreamed of.
The Ninth Shade Faction!
Grai's eyes focused. He was too lazy to even check the corpse of the Gold Core expert in the campsite. Suddenly, his figure turned into fog and disappeared without a trace with a whoosh.
… …
Gulp gulp gulp …
Kill kill kill kill kill!!
Hualalala ~ ~
Lao Wang's consciousness was still in a blurry state. He seemed to be continuously drinking water and could sense waves of intense killing intent condensing and attacking in his mind. He could also sense waves of terrifying aura eroding his will, causing him to be unable to completely wake up.
He only vaguely remembered that when he fell into the Netherworld River, he had forcefully opened his fragment world and thrown his body in. This was the only method that Lao Wang thought he could use to save himself. After all, the Netherworld River had a strange power to him and could not be touched.
However, he had still miscalculated. Although he did not encounter any obstacles when he entered the fragment world, even the Netherworld River had flowed in … Furthermore, he was contaminated with the aura of the Netherworld River and connected to the Netherworld River. The passage to the fragment world could not be closed. Then, this fragment world became no different from the Netherworld River. A large amount of Netherworld River water flooded in and soaked him. Not only was Lao Wang affected, but even the level-6 herbs and various mystical artifacts that had been cultivated in the fragment world were soaked in the Netherworld River. The entire fragment world was flooded with water and filled with the disgusting Netherworld aura. The world that was full of vitality immediately became lifeless, and the level-6 herbs seemed to wither in an instant. However, Lao Wang did not have the time to care about these flowers and herbs at all.
Elder Hades' attack had caused his aura to become chaotic, and he could not even maintain his true form. At that moment, after being soaked in the Netherworld River water, the Netherworld aura drilled into his heavily injured body and attacked it a second time, causing Lao Wang to lose all ability to resist.
His divine cells could no longer be used, and his Void Core true form could no longer be used. His entire body seemed to have rusted, and even his spiritual energy could no longer circulate. Of course, at this moment, in this fragment world that was rich in Netherworld aura, he could not sense the existence of any spiritual energy.
The feeling of soaking his entire body in the Netherworld River water was extremely terrifying. This was completely different from Lao Wang's experiments and research at the side of the Netherworld River.
The temperature of the Netherworld River water was not extremely low, but when it came into contact with living creatures, one would feel a bone-piercing coldness. This was the coldness of death from the Netherworld aura and was not ordinary ice elements. Ice resistance was simply useless, as if it wanted to tear one's body apart. Furthermore, over countless eras, countless dead people had died in the Netherworld River. Their souls and wills had been bound by the Netherworld River, forming monstrous resentment that mixed with the Netherworld River water and continuously attacked one's will.
At that moment, the impact from one's will had reached its peak. Even someone as stable as Lao Wang felt as if he was about to lose himself due to the influence of the monstrous resentment. In his daze, there was a trace of clarity. He wanted to ask the Fate Stone to save him, but unexpectedly, the Fate Stone did not react at all!
The last trace of clarity in Lao Wang's heart turned cold. The Fate Stone could only protect one's soul from shattering. However, if one was attacked and affected by evil wills, the Fate Stone would not react.
It was over …
Lao Wang simply felt that his last bit of willpower was rapidly disappearing. His consciousness became weaker and weaker, and he could no longer see the specific situation in the fragment world. However, just as his consciousness was about to completely disappear, he seemed to see a ball of light shining in the fragment world.
It was not the Fate Stone. Instead, it was the pile of junk that was piled up in the depths of the fragment world. It seemed to be … the dragon cauldron that had been sent by the Sea Emperor? It had actually shone with light?
Was it an illusion?
This final thought flashed in his mind. He could no longer suppress the fatigue and weariness in his mind and fainted.
Hualala …
This was obviously not an illusion. The lid of the dragon cauldron, which was originally dim and without light, slowly opened. The 11 dragon heads seemed to have come to life and opened their large mouths. Closely after, like whales swallowing the sea, all the Netherworld River water that had been poured into the fragment world was frantically swallowed by the 11 dragon heads. This was not all. Even the Netherworld River that was connected to the outside world was being sucked in at an even faster speed and was rapidly flowing backwards!
Run ~ Run ~ Run ~
The willpower of the resentment contained in the Netherworld River wavered and became fearful. They desperately wanted to escape this strange fragment world and escape from the terrifying dragon cauldron's absorption. However, their resistance was simply a drizzle in the face of the dragon cauldron's suction force! At that moment, if someone was carefully studying the Netherworld River, they would discover that the water level of the Netherworld River, which was dozens of kilometers long outside Black Gold Town, had dropped by half!
Only when the dragon cauldron was full did it stop forcefully absorbing the Netherworld River water outside. The passage to the fragment world that had been forcefully opened by the Netherworld River was instantly closed, and the entire fragment world returned to normal. At that moment, even the spiritual herbs that had withered due to the attack of the Netherworld River, as well as Wang Zhong, who was on the verge of death and had a pitch-black body, had become 'clean' again. However, his willpower was still not clear. The damage to his soul could not be healed by absorbing the Netherworld River water.
Pa!
The dragon cauldron closed, and the 11 dragon heads were hidden. Closely after, a dazzling golden light shone from the 'stomach' of the dragon cauldron. The entire dragon cauldron slowly floated up and hovered in mid-air.
The golden light became more and more intense, as if something was brewing in the 'stomach' of the dragon cauldron. After about 17 or 18 seconds, the dragon cauldron suddenly trembled violently.
Hum hum hum hum hum ~
Boom boom boom boom boom!!
A golden object flew around inside the dragon cauldron and collided with the inside of the dragon cauldron, causing a violent impact sound. On the outside of the dragon cauldron, clear cracks rapidly spread until they were densely packed …
Bang!
There was a loud sound in the air, and the dragon cauldron shattered. A dragon's roar reverberated in the fragment world, and a dazzling golden object hovered in the air. It was a miniature five-colored golden dragon!
It looked at Wang Zhong, who had fainted on the ground. Without any hesitation, it turned slightly in the air and turned into a Gold Core that was like a small sun. There was only a momentary pause. Closely after, the golden light flashed and disappeared. Lao Wang, who had fainted on the ground, did not even open his mouth. The pill simply passed through his tightly shut lips and entered his throat.
Gulp …
His throat naturally squeezed and swallowed, and the golden light followed his throat to his abdomen.
Very quickly, the light gradually dissipated, and everything returned to peace …
Lao Wang had a very long dream. In his dream, he seemed to have fallen into a boundless hell and was entangled by countless vengeful spirits and malicious ghosts. Just as he felt that it was difficult to escape, a golden light suddenly shot into the sky and dispersed the endless vengeful spirits and malicious ghosts. Then, the golden light entered his body and allowed him to be reborn in an instant. His Void Core became a Solid Core, and his physical body became a Golden Body. He soared into the sky and achieved enlightenment in broad daylight. He broke through the boundless hell and arrived at the Heaven that countless people yearned for. There were birdsong and fragrant flowers here, and the surroundings were filled with dense multicolored light. The air that he breathed was as intoxicating as the fragrance of a pill, and he lingered on.
Just as Lao Wang was intoxicated by the dense fragrance, he suddenly heard someone shouting his name in the direction of the hell that he had come from.
It was Mu Zi's voice, as well as Grai's!
He was shocked and suddenly woke up from his dream. His various consciousnesses recovered, and his soul returned to his body. The various memories from before he fainted surged into his mind like a tsunami.
That's right. He had been severely injured by Elder Hades and had fallen into the Netherworld River. He had opened the fragment world with the intention of escaping, but he had never expected that the Netherworld River would flood in as well. The entire fragment world had turned into a vast ocean of Netherworld River water. All the spiritual herbs had withered, and he was on the verge of death …
He suddenly opened his eyes and thought that he was still immersed in the boundless Netherworld River water. However, when he opened his eyes, there was no rotting smell like he had imagined from the Netherworld River water, nor did he feel the splitting pain all over his body. His surroundings were peaceful.
In front of him, a batch of level-6 spiritual herbs that he had personally planted were growing verdant and did not look as withered as when they had been submerged in the Netherworld River water. There was even a dense pill fragrance wafting in this space.
This …
Before Lao Wang could recover from the abnormality in front of him, he immediately sensed something even more incredible.
His body! His Void Core!
No, it was obvious that he could no longer be called a Void Core. It was different from the hazy and illusory feeling when he was a Void Core. At that moment, his' Void Core 'had become extremely solid, and he could sense its existence with his naked eye. It was like a solid' round ball '. Furthermore, it was no longer' soft '. Instead, it had more texture, was more real, and was full of vitality!
There was an incomparably rich spiritual power surrounding this Solid Core. With just a slight thought, the surging spiritual power immediately circulated at a speed that was ten times faster than when he was in the Void Core Realm. Almost as soon as he thought of controlling the spiritual power, the spiritual power had already reached the place he wanted to control!
He … had advanced to the Solid Core?!
Lao Wang simply did not dare to believe this. He stretched out his left hand and fiercely clenched his fist. Not only had the injuries from before he fainted completely disappeared, but …
Bang bang bang!
The cracking sounds from his knuckles were like sonic booms that exploded in the air. Waves of unimaginable power seemed to have sensed Wang Zhong's' summon 'and surged out from his limbs and bones. Lao Wang felt as if he could punch through an entire mountain with his tightly clenched fist.
Solid Core, without a doubt! Regardless of whether it was the transformation of his Void Core into a Solid Core or the terrifying increase in his power and physical body, he had advanced to the Solid Core Realm.
Before he fainted, he was in a hopeless situation and could not take care of himself. However, after waking up from this dream, he was fine? The fragment world had also been repaired? Even he had advanced from a Void Core to a Solid Core! He did not even dare to imagine such a thing even in his daydreams.
Was it the Fate Stone?
Lao Wang immediately looked at the Fate Stone that was hovering in the air. The Fate Stone was still emitting a gentle light as usual and did not show any abnormalities.
Wang Zhong quickly rejected this thought as he had already seen the golden fragments that were scattered in this fragment world.
Those were fragments of the Dragon Cauldron! He could even see the broken dragon heads.
Lao Wang immediately thought of the strange scene that he had seen before he fainted. Some hazy memories appeared as if they were chewing on him. At that time, the Dragon Cauldron seemed to have emitted a dazzling light and absorbed the water from the Netherworld River. Then, he sniffed the rich medicinal fragrance that still filled the fragment world and thought of the dream he had while he was in a daze. A Gold Core had entered his stomach. Could it be that some substance that the Dragon Cauldron had formed after absorbing the water from the Netherworld River had saved him? Then, the Dragon Cauldron had collapsed and shattered because it had formed this substance?
He carefully walked around the fragment world and collected all the broken fragments of the Dragon Cauldron. He pieced them together according to his memory and sure enough, he had pieced them back to the original shape of the Dragon Cauldron. However, some of the fragments that were too small were difficult to find in a short time, causing the Dragon Cauldron, which was full of cracks, to look like there were many holes of different sizes. However, judging from the rich medicinal fragrance that remained on the fragments of the Dragon Cauldron, there was no doubt that it had saved his life.
The magical Dragon Cauldron … He did not expect that it would actually save his life like this and even give him a great blessing.
All kinds of speculations kept surging in Lao Wang's mind, but it was a pity that he had fainted at that time. Everything could only be guessed, and he did not dare to say that it was absolutely accurate.
It seemed that after this matter was over, it was indeed necessary for him to make a trip to the Ocean Empire Planet … Obviously, the Fate Stone, the Golden Stone Slab, the encounter in the Illusion Sea, and even the Dragon Cauldron on the Ocean Empire Planet were not coincidences. They seemed to revolve around him … To be precise, the Fate Stone had a huge secret.
After carefully storing the broken Dragon Cauldron, a belated excitement gradually surged in Lao Wang's heart.
There was a big leap from the Void Core Realm to the Solid Core Realm. If one followed the normal step-by-step cultivation speed, it would require a large amount of spiritual power to advance from the Void Core Realm to the Solid Core Realm. This process was boring and tasteless, and it was purely a waste of time. Previously, he had estimated that it would take at least ten years, but now, he had actually accomplished it in one go.
Lao Wang also carefully experienced it. The most direct manifestation of advancement was the strengthening of his physical body and spiritual power.
At this time, in the Solid Core Realm, he could easily enter the microscopic world. It was obvious that his divine cells had further expanded. It was an internal expansion, as if the space in each divine cell had become larger. The energy network formed by the nuclear energy in the cells was dozens or hundreds of times more complicated than before. Every cell was densely intertwined with each other, and there was a rich source of energy flowing in and out of these energy networks. The amount of spiritual power stored was more than ten times that of the Void Core Realm!
The spiritual energy value of an ordinary Void Core was capped at one million. If one used their true form, the extremely powerful Void Core could explode to a value of close to two million. On the other hand, the spiritual energy value of a Solid Core was between two million and five million.
Even though Lao Wang could reach a Spiritual Energy Value of four to five million when he used his Dragon Breath True Form, the Dragon Breath True Form was a level-2 true form that even countless Solid Cores in the Celestial Honors Class pursued. It was not a normal standard to measure one's strength.
According to normal calculations, when Lao Wang used his Ice and Fire Wings True Form, his Spiritual Energy Value was at most two million. However, at that moment, Lao Wang felt that his Spiritual Energy Value was at the limit of five million Solid Cores. He could be considered a peak Solid Core.
However, this was the most ordinary form of his physical body, and he did not even use his Ice and Fire Wings …
He stretched out his ten fingers and carefully experienced the feeling of the powerful power circulating in his body.
With his current state, if he encountered a Gold Core like Elder Hades again, Lao Wang was confident that he could face him head-on.
Pa!
Wang Zhong clenched his fingers tightly, and his excited expression gradually calmed down. He became as calm as water, and his gaze was deep. He had no intention of investigating the various unknown details of his breakthrough in detail. Compared to this, he was more concerned about Mu Zi's safety and the blood feud with the Ninth Shade Faction. He focused his thoughts and activated his spiritual power. The space in the fragment world rapidly retreated in Wang Zhong's eyes, and a dimensional passage appeared in front of him.
The moment the passage was opened, a familiar wave of monstrous resentment immediately spread, but no Netherworld River water flowed in.
The Netherworld River had an independent will, and Wang Zhong knew this a long time ago. At that moment, he felt that the will of the Netherworld River water seemed to be on guard and paced back and forth at the entrance of the passage to his fragment world, not daring to rashly enter.
Lao Wang was secretly amused and felt carefree. What could be more satisfying than seeing the Netherworld River water, which had almost caused him to die, 'cower'?
He took a step forward and simply appeared at the bottom of the Netherworld River. Then, the fragment world was sealed. Without the deterrence of the fragment world, the Netherworld River water instantly surged up.
Lao Wang was excited and allowed the Netherworld River water that surged up around him to soak his body. There was a slight prickling sensation, but it was completely different from the bone-piercing coldness and heart-wrenching pain that he had felt when he came into contact with the Netherworld River water. Even the boundless resentment in the Netherworld River had become extremely weak to his senses. The ghostly wails and wolf howls that he had once heard were now as soft as mosquitoes.
The energy and resentment of the Netherworld River water were extremely harmful to most living creatures. Only Gold Core experts could completely resist it. Now, Lao Wang could do it as well.
This was considered a small test of his Solid Core strength with the Netherworld River water. Wang Zhong did not delay any further and casually waved his hand. A wave of spiritual power appeared and separated the water flow. Then, he suddenly soared into the sky from the bottom of the riverbed.
Lao Wang might be rather happy, but the outside world had been turned upside down.
Wang Zhong, who was favored by the heavens, had died?
Not only had news of this spread in the underground world, but the Star Alliance and the Heavenly Gates had also quickly received this news.
