The more soul energy that Zhang Xuan absorbed from the barrier of light, the larger his soul grew. At the same time, his control over his soul also grew stronger and stronger.
Soon, the barrier of light reached saturation once more.
However, that did not matter. With a thought, Zhang Xuan channeled the energy into his clone's body, strengthening his soul further.
It did not take long for him to finish absorbing all of the energy.
Raising his head, he saw Ao Feng floating in the air like a dying dragon. His body was drenched in blood, and it seemed like he had already sapped all of his energy.
He no longer looked as ferocious as a Conferred God King.
Seeing that Ao Feng was in such a state, Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before flicking a pill over. "I have some pills here that can restore your stamina. Take one!"
If Ao Feng really fainted, he would not be able to absorb the soul energy that he had lost.
He had absorbed so much energy earlier, so he had to repay the favor.
"My injuries are too severe. Ordinary pills are useless to me."
Seeing that the other party had delivered a pill to him, Ao Feng smiled bitterly.
Even pinnacle God Essence Pills were not of much use to him, let alone low-tier pills.
His injuries were too severe, so he needed a purer bloodline in order to be effective.
"Give it a try," Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
Even though the pill he had was only an ordinary high-tier God Essence Pill, it was infused with his Pathos of Heaven zhenqi and Little Chick's blood. Ordinary injuries were nothing to him.
Seeing Zhang Xuan's insistence, Ao Feng recalled the sight of Zhang Xuan leisurely walking over from afar, so he swallowed the pill.
As soon as the pill entered his throat, a surge of heat immediately flowed through his body, healing his injuries.
"This …" Ao Feng narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
The effects of the pill were already comparable to those of a God Monarch!
Who in the world would give such a valuable pill to him so casually?
He lowered his head to take a look, only to see the other party looking at him with a yearning look. "Continue hacking …"
"…" Ao Feng's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.
The gratitude in his heart vanished without a trace.
Are you treating me as a laborer?
Ao Feng turned around and saw that most of the God Kings that he had brought in were already severely injured, and they would not be able to hold on for much longer. Knowing that this was not the time to be fussing over such trivial matters, he gritted his teeth and hacked down once more.
Kacha! Kacha!
The light membrane shook, and more streams of power scattered down, being absorbed by the other party.
After absorbing for a while, Zhang Xuan frowned again.
His clone hadn't comprehended the Pathos of Heaven, and he hadn't obtained the Conferred King of the Nine Skies, so his soul energy requirement was much higher. Initially, Ao Feng had spent half a day accumulating a lot of soul energy, so he didn't find it difficult to absorb the soul energy. But now, he found that the rate at which his clone was absorbing soul energy was simply too slow.
In cultivation, fast and slow were two different concepts. Sometimes, when breaking through to the next realm, being too slow was equivalent to not having any effect at all.
"Why do we have to wait for it to fall before we absorb it? Can't we just absorb it directly? "
Zhang Xuan shook his head when he saw Ao Feng's tongue sticking out of his mouth. It was unlikely that he would be able to increase his speed. He looked at the cocoon-like barrier in front of him.
It was indeed easier for him to absorb the energy from the other party, but given the other party's current state, the speed of the other party's slashing was unable to keep up with the rate of absorption. He had to make some changes.
If he had known that the other party was so unreliable, he wouldn't have given him the pill.
He had wasted one for nothing.
It seemed like Conferred God Kings were not as formidable as he had thought.
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan placed his palm on the barrier and tried to absorb as much energy as he could, but to his dismay, the barrier was too tough. He was unable to absorb anything at all.
"It's no wonder that fellow is unable to break it. This barrier is indeed fearsome …"
Zhang Xuan raised his fist and punched the barrier, but the force he exerted wasn't any greater than Ao Feng's. Instead, it caused his arm to go numb. Zhang Xuan couldn't help but shake his head.
The barrier formed from the purest essence of the countless spirits of nature was far more fearsome than he had thought.
Even though Zhang Xuan's zhenqi hadn't reached Conferred God King realm pinnacle yet, his physical body had been tempered by the Deathless Lava Lake, making him even stronger than ordinary Conferred God King realm pinnacle cultivators. Even so, his arm was still hurting from the backlash. Most likely, only a God Monarch would be able to break the barrier so quickly.
"Let me try my weapon …"
Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist and took out the Crimson Firmament Sword that the God Monarch of the Sword God Sky had given him.
Hu!
A tree wishes to be still, but the wind won't stop. A child wishes to be nurtured, but his parents won't wait!
The wind won't stop.
Puhe!
The barrier before Zhang Xuan didn't manage to hold on for long before a huge hole appeared in it. Zhang Xuan staggered as he entered the barrier.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan blinked his eyes in shock.
Just now, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't deal much damage to the diaphragm. He thought that even if he used a sword, it would take him a long time. Who would have thought that he would be able to cut a large hole in the diaphragm so easily …
Had he known that it would be so easy, he wouldn't have wasted so much time outside.
While Zhang Xuan was shocked, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of artifact the Crimson Firmament Sword was. Wasn't it a little too sharp?
"Un. It's indeed much more convenient to absorb the energy from the barrier than from the outside …"
Zhang Xuan stowed the Crimson Firmament Sword back into his storage ring and began absorbing the energy once more.
It was impossible for him to absorb the energy from the outside, but within the barrier, he was able to absorb the energy with ease.
Zhang Xuan's clone swiftly absorbed the energy from the barrier, and his cultivation swiftly grew stronger and stronger.
Peng peng peng!
While Zhang Xuan was absorbing the energy from the barrier, Ao Feng was still frenziedly attacking the barrier, and dragon blood was dripping from his fingernails. Just as Ao Feng was about to give up, he saw that the young man had already entered the barrier and was standing there motionlessly.
Ao Feng felt a sweet sensation in his throat, and he nearly spurted blood once more.
Brother, when did you enter the barrier?
Why didn't you call me?
I was just foolishly slashing at the barrier outside, but … didn't you see it?
You can't play with me like that …
It's as if I was swatting away mosquitoes while you ran into the mosquito net and drank your drink …
We are both God Kings, but why are you so outstanding?
Ao Feng rushed up to the young man, only to find that the barrier had been torn apart. He charged forward, only to be stuck!
After struggling for a long time, he reverted back to his human form and entered the barrier.
"I'm finally going to obtain the Condensed Spirit Essence!"
Ignoring the young man who was absorbing the energy from the barrier, Ao Feng couldn't hold himself back anymore. Without any hesitation, he charged straight for the Condensed Spirit Essence.
He grabbed the Condensed Spirit Essence lightly.
Tzzzzz!
Feeling the concentrated spiritual energy within the Condensed Spirit Essence, Ao Feng's body trembled in agitation. He was just about to store the Condensed Spirit Essence into his storage ring when he suddenly frowned.
This spirit liquid …
Why did it look so small?
When he first saw it, it was about the size of an adult's fist, but now … it was only about the size of a ping pong ball?
Bewildered, Zhang Xuan suddenly noticed that the Spirit Essence had shrunk to the size of a grape. Following which, it began shrinking to the size of a green bean...
Ao Feng felt as if his head was about to explode.
If he were to offer it to the God Monarch, the other party would surely be overjoyed. If he were to offer it to the God Monarch in such a small manner, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
It was completely unpresentable …
