The willpower and perseverance of Yang Li and the others was needless to say. The minds of geniuses were extremely strong, not to mention a peerless genius like Yang Li.
Although Zixu was the weakest among them, it was only relative to Long Ci and Yang Li. Among the geniuses with a heaven-defying battle prowess of three grades, he was definitely one of the top geniuses. His perseverance was also extremely strong.
Two days later, when Zixu was about to reach his limit, the first trial ended. Because Yang Li's body was similar to Zixu's, he was also extremely exhausted, but his spirit was excellent.
Long Ci's condition was the best because he was a member of the Flood Dragon Race. Although his physique wasn't the strongest among the demonic beasts, it was still a very strong race. Therefore, there weren't many scars on his body.
When the pressure suddenly subsided, the three of them felt very relaxed. At the same time, there was an unknown energy from the Dragon Pond that seeped into their bodies. The recovery time was very short. In just one day, the three of them had recovered to their original state. In fact, they were even more powerful than before.
"Phew, this recovery speed is quite fast. In just one day, I've completely recovered." Yang Li felt the changes in his body and murmured.
At this moment, his physique had increased by five levels compared to before. His body had become even more powerful.
At this time, Yang Li suddenly felt that something was wrong. His body suddenly felt like it was burning. Yang Li frowned slightly. His divine sense entered his body to check his condition. He saw that all the spiritual energy in Yang Li's body was burning. At the same time, it was accompanied by a heart-wrenching pain.
The spiritual energy that was burning had completely disappeared. Yang Li's realm was also slowly declining. In just a quarter of an hour, his cultivation had fallen from Harmonious God Realm Third Level to Harmonious God Realm Second Level. This made Yang Li turn pale.
"How could this be?!"
Yang Li's mood immediately became a bit unstable. Among the three of them, his thirst for power was the strongest. Regardless of the danger, he desperately wanted to increase his own strength. It was not only because he had been bullied in the past, but also because his parents were now missing. Under this kind of panic, the pain was actually a small matter to him.
At the age of twenty-two, he had a Harmonious God Realm Third Level cultivation. It was unknown how much suffering he had gone through and how many difficulties he had to endure to get to where he was now. But in such a short period of time, his current achievements had faded.
Not long after Yang Li fell into a state of panic, he suddenly remembered that Long Ci had once said that the second trial, the spiritual power trial, would burn the spiritual power in one's body. Now that his cultivation level had dropped, it was probably because of this. Since this Dragon Pool was a place that gave people good fortune, it naturally wouldn't cause their cultivation level to drop.
Thinking about it, it was just a test. The originally panicked Yang Li calmed down after thinking about this. He took a deep breath and immersed his mind into his body, carefully observing every change in his body.
One day later, Yang Li's cultivation had already fallen to its lowest point. If it was anyone else who suddenly encountered such a calamity, their mind would definitely collapse and they would sink into oblivion for all eternity. However, Yang Li and the others did not. After all, they had some understanding of this before, so they naturally would not panic too much. Instead, they calmed their hearts and waited for their cultivation to recover.
Yang Li's cultivation had fallen to Qi Condensation First Level. After being stuck for half an hour, his cultivation began to gradually recover. Yang Li also carefully observed the spiritual energy in his body. In these two days, Yang Li also asked Long Ci, what kind of changes would happen to his spiritual energy.
At that time, Long Ci said a lot. Some spiritual energy would be mixed with characteristics, and some spiritual energy would increase greatly. Each was different, so he was not sure.
At this time, Yang Li was observing whether or not his spiritual energy had characteristics. Spiritual energy with characteristics was extremely strong. For example, Yang Li cultivated the Flame God Law with explosive characteristics, which helped Yang Li a lot.
The storage of spiritual energy could be gradually increased, but it was very difficult to have the characteristics of spiritual energy. On the continent, there were very few cultivation methods with the characteristics of spiritual energy. This showed the importance of the characteristics of spiritual energy.
A few days ago, Shen Yuanming, whom Yang Li had met, cultivated a water-type cultivation technique. However, the cultivation technique he cultivated bestowed upon his spiritual energy a special characteristic, which was freezing. This allowed his spiritual energy to turn into water or ice, and it was precisely because of this that his heaven-defying battle prowess was able to surmount five levels.
Therefore, Yang Li really wanted to add another characteristic to his spirit energy. If his spirit energy could have another characteristic, then his battle prowess would increase once again, and he might even reach a level where he was invincible among those of the same rank!
"It really has another characteristic!" As his spiritual energy gradually recovered, Yang Li could clearly feel the changes in his spiritual energy. Everything was developing in a good direction. As expected, his spiritual energy had a new characteristic.
However, he could not observe the new characteristic of his spiritual energy. He could only try it after his cultivation had completely recovered.
The recovery time was much shorter than the dissipation time. In just half a day, Yang Li's cultivation had recovered to the Third Level of the Harmonious God Realm. There was even some progress. Originally, he was at most in the Mid Third Level, but now, Yang Li's cultivation had reached the Late Third Level.
Although his cultivation did not break through, Yang Li did not feel the slightest regret. Increasing his cultivation level was not a big problem for him. On the contrary, increasing the characteristics of his spiritual energy was an extremely difficult thing to do.
"Let's try out the new characteristic of my spiritual energy." After his cultivation had recovered, Yang Li murmured to himself. Then, he attacked the stone beside him with his spiritual energy. Water and fire were natural opposites. The power of the spiritual energy that Yang Li used in the water was greatly reduced. He could not even break a single stone.
However, Yang Li did not care. That attack was just a casual attack. When Yang Li's attack reached the stone, a small hole slowly appeared on the surface. Feeling the change in the stone, Yang Li's mind suddenly became excited.
The new characteristic of his spiritual energy was burning! It was different from the burning characteristic of ordinary fire attribute spiritual energy. The burning characteristic of Yang Li's spiritual energy meant that Yang Li could burn other people's spiritual energy!
If two people's spiritual energy had the same power, and one had the burning characteristic while the other didn't, then the spiritual energy without the characteristic would dissipate in the end. The spiritual energy with the burning characteristic could preserve most of its power and continue to attack!
For Yang Li, this was a huge improvement in his combat strength! With a heaven-defying battle strength of five levels, Yang Li could be said to be invincible among those in the same realm after his cultivation reached the seventh level of the Harmonious Spirit Realm! Even a cultivator at the ninth level of the Harmonious Spirit Realm with a heaven-defying battle strength of four levels would not be able to contend against him!
In fact, even those who did not have the burning characteristic in their spiritual power might not necessarily be able to defeat him in a fight.
"In this case, there should not be many people of the same age in the Southern Territory who can fight against me." Yang Li felt the changes in his spiritual energy and could not help but smile.
With his current strength, there were not many geniuses under the age of thirty who could compete with him. Therefore, Yang Li was not arrogant, but he truly had the capital to do so.
Just as Yang Li was feeling happy, an energy with a hallucinatory aura quietly entered his body. Yang Li's mind also became absent-minded and fell into an illusion. The third stage had arrived without a sound!
However, Yang Li had gone through several months of training in the illusions at Old Man Lei's place. Needless to say, his mind was very strong. Even though the illusions in the Dragon Pool were very strong, they were just child's play for Yang Li. In just a few minutes, Yang Li had escaped from the illusions.
On the other side, Long Ci and Yang Li also broke free from the illusion in a few minutes. Only Zixu's mind was slightly weaker, so it took him a little longer. However, it did not take too long. In just a short hour, he broke free from the illusion.
The illusion didn't bring any benefits to the three of them. It only tempered their minds a little and strengthened their resolve. The real horror was the fourth level!
It was also the stage that Long Ci was most worried about. This stage might not be difficult for him and Zixu, but it was very difficult for Yang Li. If Yang Li could not get through it, or fell into it, he would live in guilt for the rest of his life.
However, Yang Li was not worried at all. Instead, he felt a sense of eagerness. He had never felt the existence of the law before. He only felt a little bit of it when some half-law realm and Dharma realm cultivators fought, but he had never really touched it.
Now that he could touch the law, he was very excited. He even imagined that he would comprehend the law the first time he came into contact with the law. Then, he would beat up all the cultivators below the half-law realm.
When Yang Li escaped from the illusion for an entire day, he still hadn't seen the laws descend. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Could it be that Long Ci was lying? There is no law in the Dragon Pool? Otherwise, why hasn't it appeared yet?! "
Just as Yang Li was muttering, a huge pressure rose from the pool and went straight towards Yang Li's heart.
This pressure was different from the pressure on his body before. It caused a huge pressure on Yang Li's body, spiritual power, and even his divine sense. It was a feeling of destruction. Under this pressure, Yang Li felt extremely small, like a grain of sand in the sea.
It was as if he was a bird facing the sky, his heart trembling incessantly.
Under that enormous pressure, Yang Li felt as if he was hallucinating. Images of Demonic Beasts raising their heads and roaring at the sky appeared before his eyes. Every single Demonic Beast was surrounded by an unknown aura.
The bodies of the monsters were also flashing with all kinds of lights. There were white, black, silver, yellow, red, green, and so on. The shades were all different and varied.
Yang Li was like an ant in front of the enormous bodies of the demonic beasts. He felt as if he could be destroyed with a wave of his hand. If any of the demonic beasts stepped on him, he would be turned to ashes, no longer existing in this world.
