Li Yao was like a mouse that had fallen into a rice bowl. He squinted his eyes and looked around. Everywhere he looked, there were small red dots that were densely packed together. They were all rushing towards him.
Li Yao walked along the railroad tracks, trying to find the place with the densest demonic energy.
Suddenly, a black object appeared in front of him. Upon closer inspection, it was actually a twisted lump of iron.
He pondered for a long time and suddenly understood what it was — the armored carriage that had charged into the beast tide without hesitation last night!
He did not expect that under the devastation of the beast tide, it would be like a crumpled paper box, turning into such a state.
The bodies of the cultivators in the iron lump had been cleaned up, but Li Yao could still hear the roars of the heroic spirits.
"I will cultivate here. I hope that seniors can lend me a hand. Once my cultivation is complete, I will definitely slaughter the demon beasts and avenge you!"
Li Yao struggled to climb up the bloodstained iron lump. He sat cross-legged at the top and silently circulated the "Endless Starry Sea" breathing technique in his mind.
"According to the legends, the endless universe we live in was once a crystallization of pure spiritual energy without a physical body hundreds of millions of years ago. It was called the 'Primordial Crystal Point'.
"Due to some kind of tyrannical and enormous' force ', the Primordial Crystal Point had an explosion that was beyond human imagination. Almost endless pure spiritual energy was blown apart, forming the stars, all living things, and the universe itself!
"And at the beginning of the explosion …"
"There are no stars, no planets, only countless scorching, violent fragments of matter!"
"The relatively large material fragments rotated at high speed, attracting the relatively small material fragments. Like a rolling snowball, they grew bigger and bigger, gradually forming the endless stars."
"The profound meaning of the" Endless Starry Sea "breathing technique is to imagine yourself as the relatively large material fragments at the beginning of the universe's Big Bang. Imagine the spiritual energy floating in the air as relatively small material fragments. Let your soul rotate at high speed, attracting the spiritual energy, tempering your body and strengthening your soul! "
"There are two keys to this!"
"First. In your brain, you have to imagine the instant expansion of pure spiritual energy at the beginning of the Big Bang and turn it into the scene of the vast universe. You have to feel the ancient state where the universe had just been created and the universe had yet to be created. You have to experience the indescribable feeling that is beyond human imagination! "
"Secondly, you have to make your divine soul rotate at a high speed during meditation!"
Li Yao silently meditated on the profound meaning of the Endless Starry Sea. His eyes were half closed, and he seemed to be asleep. He took several deep breaths, and each breath was longer than the last. He entered a mysterious state.
In his trance, the desert turned into a boundless universe. The surroundings were scorching, and the violent spiritual energy was still ripping, crashing, and splitting. In the end, they condensed into lumps of bright matter.
The temperature of each mass was a hundred times higher than the sun!
As for Li Yao himself. His body was boiling hot, and he seemed to have turned into an orange-red hot mass.
His spirit swayed and swayed. Suddenly, it started to spin faster and faster!
There were some relatively small clusters of high-temperature matter floating around him. They were attracted by his rotational force and immediately floated toward him. They attached themselves to his body and became one with him.
Demonic energy!
The surging demonic energy poured into Li Yao's body!
The feeling of fullness was more than a hundred times better than the pitiful floating spiritual energy that he had only been able to swallow after a tremendous effort in the medical tent!
Li Yao was bursting with joy. His four spirit threads kept spinning, absorbing even more demonic energy into his body. After being crushed by Ou Yezi's Tree of Memories, the demonic energy was purified into the purest form of spiritual energy. It entered his limbs and bones, constantly filling every muscle, every blood vessel, and every cell!
Every second, his body was becoming stronger and stronger, evolving a level higher than before!
"Powerful! Too powerful!"
Li Yao clenched his fists in indescribable joy. He felt a powerful force surging between his fingers.
He had a vague feeling that if this punch of his was to stimulate his spiritual energy to the extreme, its destructive power would be ten times stronger than before!
In the past, he had only relied on the strength of his physical body.
But now, he had become a part of the vast universe and countless stars. He could unleash the power of Heaven and Earth!
In just a short hour, Li Yao had swallowed an incomparably huge amount of demonic energy. Every cell of his was stuffed to the brim. He couldn't even swallow a small red dot.
Just like how a human's appetite had a certain limit, a cultivator's absorption of spiritual energy also had a limit. It was impossible to endlessly swallow until the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth was completely sucked dry.
Blindly absorbing spiritual energy without refining it could very well lead to oversaturation of spiritual energy, resulting in the phenomenon of "Spiritual Energy Poisoning".
It was just like how a person who drank too much water would suffer from "Water Poisoning".
In serious cases, it could even cause the spiritual energy in the body to overflow, rupture the meridians, and cause Qigong Deviation!
After Li Yao had swallowed an enormous amount of demonic energy and refined it, it was enough for him to advance by three levels.
He also knew the principle of biting off more than he could chew. He restrained his greedy thoughts and jumped down from the iron lump with a long roar.
"Huh?"
He saw an incomparably strange scene!
He saw the Black Wing Sword floating straight in the air, slowly rotating. Three black spirit threads grew out of the scabbard and were also swallowing demonic energy in large mouthfuls.
That appearance was exactly the same as when Li Yao was cultivating!
No! Li Yao carefully observed for a while and discovered that the Black Wing Sword's efficiency in swallowing spiritual energy was higher than his!
When he was using the 《Endless Starry Sea》 to swallow spiritual energy, the spirit threads only wrapped around his body and slowly danced.
As for the spirit threads that spread out from the Black Wing Sword, every one of them was like a spring. They circled around and around, forming an incomparably bizarre spiral spirit thread.
With the same length, it was obvious that the Black Wing Sword's spiral spirit threads came into contact with more small red dots. Its efficiency in swallowing spiritual energy was ten times higher than Li Yao's!
"Even magical equipment can cultivate by itself?"
"Furthermore, the cultivation technique is clearly the upgraded version of the 《Endless Starry Sea》!"
"Could it be that when Little Black saw me cultivating, it imitated me and even upgraded the 《Endless Starry Sea》 while it was at it?"
"T-this is too frightening!"
Li Yao stared blankly for a long time before he suddenly reacted. His complexion changed as he shouted strangely, "Not good, Little Black. Quickly stop your hand … No, quickly stop your mouth … No, that's not right either. In any case, quickly stop! "
The Black Wing Sword suddenly stopped swallowing. The three black spirit threads tangled together and danced towards Li Yao, showing strong dissatisfaction.
Li Yao anxiously ran to its side. Only after sensing the degree of thinness of the demonic energy did he explain:
"We can't absorb all the demonic energy. Tomorrow, there will be powerful cultivators coming here to purify the demonic energy. If they discover that this place is empty without even the slightest bit of demonic energy, they will definitely continue to investigate. If they find us, then there will be a bit more trouble!"
Originally, Li Yao thought that the Black Wing Sword was just a somewhat bizarre flying sword. He didn't take it to heart.
In any case, there were many rare treasures in the world of cultivators. A flying sword that could see the hologram projector was nothing special.
However, a flying sword that could cultivate on its own was absolutely a priceless treasure in the eyes of many powerful cultivators. Once it was discovered, they might use all kinds of methods to seize it.
Li Yao didn't want Little Black to be taken away by these people and disassembled into parts for research.
This guy was a relic of his old man and had accompanied him for so many years. It could be considered half a brother or sister to him.
"Squeak …"
After listening to Li Yao's explanation. The Black Wing Sword unwillingly shook the tip of the sword and slowly withdrew the three black spirit threads back into the scabbard.
When it received the last one. The spirit threads unwillingly danced and caught the last red dot. "Slurp! Slurp!" They sucked it into its body before withdrawing back reluctantly.
Li Yao smiled slyly. He knocked on the scabbard and said:
"Hey, hey, hey. Little Black, I'm just telling you to be careful. It's not like I'm telling you not to devour spiritual energy at all. Leaving such a large area of demonic energy and not being able to absorb it, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart! "
Li Yao was used to being a thief. He knew the crux of the matter.
If the Black Wing Sword stayed in one place and devoured all the demonic energy in the area, it would create a "demonic energy void".
Tomorrow, if a high-level cultivator came, he would know with a single glance that someone had cultivated in this place!
If they changed places after each shot, absorbing a little bit here and a little bit there, it would be impossible for high-level cultivators to know the total amount of demonic energy here. How could they discover it?
This was like having ten jars full of candy. If Li Yao stole all the candy in one of the jars, of course, he would be seen through with a single glance.
But if he secretly took a little bit from each jar, it wouldn't be easy to discover.
For the next hour, Li Yao and the Black Wing Sword flew around in the sky above the Demon Beast Battlefield. They flew to a place and devoured a little bit of demonic energy. Then, they waved their spirit threads to disperse the remaining demonic energy so that the little red dots could be evenly distributed as much as possible.
The more the Black Wing Sword devoured, the more frightened Li Yao became.
This was because Li Yao discovered that this freak, Little Black, seemed to have an endless "appetite".
Within a short hour, it had already devoured ten times more demonic energy than Li Yao!
Moreover, it seemed that it was rather restrained. If it madly devoured without restraint, it could even sweep away all the demonic energy here.
"Who the hell refined this guy's magic equipment? It can eat too much!" Li Yao secretly criticized.
The Black Wing Sword wandered in the sea of demonic energy to its heart's content. It was like an old glutton that had been starved for ten days and ten nights, plunging into a pool of wine and a forest of meat.
"Little Black, you can't eat anymore. If you continue eating, the demonic energy will be too thin and it will be discovered by others! If you're still not full, at worst, I'll make some more money and buy some high-quality crystals that contain powerful spiritual energy for you to eat! "
Li Yao said with some heartache.
Based on the Black Wing Sword's appetite, if it really ate crystals as snacks, it would probably eat all of Li Yao's belongings in a week.
The Black Wing Sword's spirit threads danced chaotically, letting out a burst of "Squeak Squeak" sounds. It used its spirit threads to point at Li Yao, as if it was saying, "You said it. High-quality crystals, I'll wait!"
Only then did it reluctantly retract its spirit threads and fly in front of Li Yao.
Recalling the crazy ten minutes of flying as fast as lightning, Li Yao's complexion changed. He righteously said, "Little Black, let's make things clear first. According to the 《Basic Laws of Cultivators》, when flying on a sword, one must be neutral and calm. One must look, two must slow down, and three must pass. You absolutely cannot fly at random! Therefore, when you go back, you must — "
Before he could speak, the Black Wing Sword had already let out an impatient "Squeak Squeak" sound. With a flash of black light, it appeared under Li Yao's crotch. With a forceful push, it lifted Li Yao up. Immediately after, it produced a powerful suction force, firmly sucking Li Yao onto the sword's body, causing his balls to hurt!
"Boom! Boom Boom Boom Boom! "
After absorbing enough demonic energy, the Black Wing Sword became even wilder and more devastating. Before it even took off, the back of the sword's hilt emitted an aggressive black stream of air. The sword's body crazily trembled, causing ripples in the air to appear one after another, rapidly spreading out!
"Put me down, I'll walk back!" Li Yao screamed.
It was too late. The Black Wing Sword released a thick black fog, completely enveloping Li Yao. One man, one sword, soared into the sky, pierced through the clouds, and in a flash, appeared beyond the ninth heaven!
Soon after, the Black Wing Sword pressed down inch by inch, gradually aiming at the desolate earth ten thousand meters below!
"You, what are you doing? I don't have any enmity with you. Yesterday, I even helped you apply oil and remove the rust! "
Li Yao repeatedly let out strange cries. His legs went soft and his balls went limp.
From the scabbard came the sound of metal rubbing against each other. A large mass of black fog gushed out, forming two hundred-meter-long black wings under the starry sky behind Li Yao.
The Black Wing Sword transformed into a mass of black flowing light. It went straight down, whistling as it rushed towards the ground! Floating Astronomy.
