At the same time, Xiao Lingyu also realized that the wind was getting faster and faster. Naturally, the speed of the sand and pebbles in the wind was also faster than before.
With the increase in speed, the attack power naturally increased as well.
Gradually, Xiao Lingyu no longer dared to move his position easily. Even if there were sand crystals flying in front of his eyes, he could only look at them. Once he moved to take them, he would be hit by countless sand and pebbles, and his entire body would be in intense pain.
However, if he was lucky, the sand crystals would sometimes come to him automatically. However, such situations were very rare, and it was rare to encounter one in a month.
More than a year passed. As the wind was too fast, the sand eagles that were swept in would not only be annihilated instantly, but their sand crystals would also shatter at the same time.
Xiao Lingyu could no longer obtain sand crystals from the wind, but he also could not escape from the wind at such a fast speed.
Even moving was very dangerous, let alone charging out.
He could only rely on the high quality of his physical body to not resist the wind's push and maintain the same speed as the wind. This way, even if the pebbles or sand hit him, the impact would not be too strong, and he would be able to persevere for a long time.
No matter how strong the gale was, Xiao Lingyu reckoned that it wouldn't be able to easily destroy him. However, if he were to force his way out, not only would he be heavily injured, he might not even be able to kill his way out.
Another year passed. It was unknown whether the wind had finally exhausted its power or it had already swept through the entire Sand Eagle Hill, but in any case, the wind stopped.
Although it stopped, it did not disappear. Instead, it formed a huge wind pillar that stood between heaven and earth like a swaying dragon.
From afar, the wind pillar in the middle of Sand Eagle Hill seemed to connect heaven and earth. However, the wind pillar became thinner and thinner, and its speed of rotation became faster and faster.
Even the extremely high quality round stones were becoming smaller and smaller in size …
Everything in the wind pillar seemed to be annihilated and turned into ashes as it spun at such a high speed.
Everything that was split or crushed gathered at the center of the wind pillar, causing the space in the middle of the wind pillar to become smaller and smaller. Gradually, it was filled with substance.
The wind speed at the center of the wind pillar was the weakest. Xiao Lingyu tried to rush out, but as soon as she moved, she was swept into the center of the wind pillar.
The surroundings were either filled with dust or extremely high-quality materials. Not only did Xiao Lingyu feel a little dizzy, but she also felt like her body was being torn apart by a huge force.
The pillar of wind lasted for nearly four hours before it slowly dissipated. However, it did not disappear. Instead, it drilled into the ground like a long dragon sinking into the earth.
Xiao Lingyu relied on her strong physical body to hold on until the end, but her body was also involuntarily pulled into the sand.
The gale that had originally covered a wide area had now been compressed into a single gust of wind that carried countless high quality substances. It was like an earth dragon that moved swiftly under Sand Eagle Hill, but it was like a dragon swimming in the sea without any restrictions.
As he sped along, he dived deeper and deeper. After the time it took to brew a cup of tea had passed, this gust of wind rushed towards a cave that was tens of thousands of feet underground.
This cave was not very long, and Gale only took a breath to reach the end.
However, at the end of the cave was a pitch-black space. The gale had dissipated, and the surroundings were deathly silent.
The substances that were originally condensed together due to the rapid rotation of the gale were now slowly splitting apart. Xiao Lingyu used the Silver Moon Broken Sword to split open the hard substances around him, and only then did he manage to escape.
"What is this place?"
Looking at the pitch-black surroundings, Xiao Lingyu's brows furrowed.
In an unknown place, Xiao Lingyu did not dare to release her aura, nor did she dare to use her mind to casually scan the surroundings. First, she waited quietly for a while, then she aimed in a direction and slowly flew away.
After flying for less than a hundred breaths, Xiao Lingyu's expression suddenly changed. This was because in front of him, there was a glowing yellow liquid that was surging towards him like a river.
Feeling the terrifying energy contained in the liquid, Xiao Lingyu immediately turned around and retreated.
However, what he did not expect was that just as he retreated to his original position, he was shocked to find that the yellow liquid was surging towards him from all directions. It seemed that the liquid was here to drown the substances that had just been swept over by the gale.
With a thought, the six Demon Suppressing Immortal Orbs first flew out of his body and formed a Sacred Light Shield around him. Then, Xiao Lingyu used the Chaos Demonic Power and Primal Chaos Fire to form two defensive shields.
What surprised Xiao Lingyu was that the high-quality substances began to dissolve rapidly after being submerged by the yellow liquid.
A moment later, the liquid surrounded the Divine Light Barrier, but the Divine Light Barrier only lasted for less than ten breaths of time before it was broken.
Xiao Lingyu had just put away the six Demon Suppressing Immortal Orbs when the defense formed by the Primal Chaos Fire and Chaos Demonic Power had already collapsed.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Lingyu's body suddenly disappeared from where he was standing. A small house that was only the size of a palm and glowing with colorful light appeared where he had just disappeared.
Xiao Lingyu hid in the Spiritual Abode. After years of familiarizing himself with it and refining it day and night, he had mastered one function of the Spiritual Abode. However, this one function was enough.
This function was to store his body in the Spiritual Abode. At a critical moment, it could save his life.
However, after entering the Spiritual Abode, Xiao Lingyu could not make the Spiritual Abode move at all. The Spiritual Abode would hover motionlessly in the same place.
It was also because of this that Xiao Lingyu had not used the Spiritual Abode before. He had always felt that he should be able to charge out.
Moreover, he had always felt that this gale was definitely not formed naturally. It might have been created by some powerful existence. Otherwise, why would it specifically hunt the Desert Eagles? Why would it be as if it had grown eyes? If it was really some powerful existence that had created this gale, he would definitely be in big trouble if he rashly used the Spiritual Abode. Therefore, not only did he not use the Spiritual Abode before, but he also did not even take out the Silver Moon Broken Blade ever since he was swept up by the gale.
Until now, when danger was imminent, he had no other choice but to hide in the Spiritual Abode.
The yellow liquid that came from all directions instantly gathered together and drowned the Spiritual Abode.
Inside the Spiritual Abode, Xiao Lingyu could see the situation outside. He felt his scalp tingle when he saw that the substances that could harm him when moving at high speed had already dissolved.
However, the Spiritual Abode was a divine artifact and could not be dissolved by the liquid. Even the colorful light shield released by the Spiritual Abode could easily block the erosion of the liquid.
Only a hundred breaths had passed, and almost all of the substances that were swept in by the gale had been dissolved. The liquid continued to wash the Spiritual Abode, but it could not do anything to it.
Xiao Lingyu felt a little relieved, but his expression was still very serious because it was obvious that he was trapped here.
Although the liquid could not break through the defense of the Spiritual Abode, it could use the powerful thrust to move the Spiritual Abode.
Xiao Lingyu could only hide inside, but he was powerless to control the movement of the Spiritual Abode or resist the powerful thrust. He could only watch as the Spiritual Abode was pushed back into the cave.
Not long after, the Spiritual Abode was washed out of the cave by the liquid.
The strange thing was that the liquid seemed to be controlled by someone. Not a single drop flowed out of the cave.
There was sand all around. It seemed calm, and Xiao Lingyu had escaped danger. However, he felt that the situation was too strange. If he went out now, he might be instantly killed.
At this point, he did not believe that the gale was formed naturally, and he did not believe that the yellow liquid had released the Spiritual Abode for no reason.
This seemingly calm place was definitely hiding a murderous intent. Perhaps the moment he went out, danger would immediately pounce on him.
Xiao Lingyu felt that the danger should come from that cave. His gaze was fixed on that cave, and he carefully observed it.
The calm continued, as if there was no danger at all.
Even so, Xiao Lingyu did not dare to come out. He felt that the other party was competing with him in patience.
Xiao Lingyu's patience had always been poor. Now that he was in a hurry to earn immortal crystals to post the mission and find Anya, his patience was even worse.
He was aware of this fact, but he couldn't calm himself down to meditate. Instead, he took out a sand crystal and slowly absorbed the Spiritual Energy within it.
When he returned to submit the mission, he only needed about two hundred sand crystals. Now that he had a thousand sand crystals, he could naturally squander them.
The pure soul power in the sand crystal slowly entered his body, then flowed into his dantian. Finally, it was absorbed by the Chaos Demon Nascent Soul, which then sent it into the Chaos Golden Bead.
Xiao Lingyu could clearly feel that his soul power was increasing. Although the speed was not very fast, it was not slow either.
After completely absorbing three sand crystals, Xiao Lingyu's soul realm successfully broke through to the early stage of the Mystic Demon Realm.
Originally, forcefully increasing one's soul realm was a very dangerous thing to do. However, Xiao Lingyu already had the strength comparable to a Demon Monarch, and he often fought with Monarch experts. Secondly, the soul power in the sand crystals was very pure. Therefore, the risk of Xiao Lingyu increasing his soul realm by such a large margin was very low.
However, every time he increased a small realm, Xiao Lingyu would have to stop and carefully comprehend it. He would only continue to increase his soul realm after familiarizing himself with it.
In this way, the time passed quickly.
After using more than three hundred sand crystals, Xiao Lingyu's soul realm reached the peak of the late stage of the Mystic Demon Realm.
Unfortunately, his Soul Golden Bead was no longer accepting the soul power from the sand crystals. It was as if it had eaten its fill.
Xiao Lingyu knew that he had reached a bottleneck. Purely absorbing the soul power from the outside world would not allow his soul to advance to the Monarch rank. He had to completely comprehend everything about the Mystic Demon Realm. Only then could his soul sublimate.
