Enemies on a narrow road
Along the way, Ning Yue's group did not slow down at all. Instead, they sped up.
At first, Ning Yue only saw a few sacred grade Origin Crystals.
Since there were not many sacred grade Origin Crystals, Ning Yue did not question the stone beetle army's devouring of the sacred grade Origin Crystals and turned a blind eye to it.
But as they ventured deeper, they found more and more sacred grade Origin Crystals.
This time, Ning Yue could no longer remain calm.
If so many sacred grade Origin Crystals were wasted by the stone beetle army, it would be a heart-wrenching sight.
Ning Yue ordered the stone beetle leader to restrain its subordinates and hand over any sacred grade Origin Crystals they came across.
As it turned out, Ning Yue's order was very effective.
In the following period of time, almost every second, a Stone Beetle would come over with a Saint Grade Origin Crystal and hand it to Ning Yue.
And Ning Yue did not refuse any of them, throwing all the sacred grade Origin Crystals into his Storage Ring.
Only a dozen or so minutes later, Ning Yue thought of something terrifying and his expression changed drastically.
With a thought, Ning Yue hurriedly probed the Storage Ring with his perception.
"F * ck!"
Ning Yue couldn't help but swear when he saw it.
His guess was right.
The sapling's two branches swayed in the wind. Every time a sacred grade Origin Crystal came in, it would control the branches to devour the sacred grade Origin Crystal.
"Stop right now!"
Ning Yue yelled, his nose crooked in anger.
In just a dozen or so minutes, over a thousand sacred grade Origin Crystals had all been devoured by the sapling?
Luckily it was a sapling, if it was anyone else, they would have exploded and died!
"Don't worry, I'm the World Tree, swallowing these sacred grade Origin Crystals is nothing to me."
The sapling did not seem to have any remorse as it said, "I swallowed these sacred grade Origin Crystals not just for myself, but for the World Tree Trunk inside the crystal coffin."
"Bullshit!"
Ning Yue glared at the sapling and said coldly, "From now on, you'd better stay in the Storage Ring. Without my permission, you …"
Thump!
However, before Ning Yue could finish his sentence, the sapling's body tilted and fell into the Storage Ring.
"…"
The sapling's action made Ning Yue speechless.
Obviously, the sapling had swallowed too many saint grade origin crystals, causing it to be unable to refine them in a short time, and could only use this method to refine them.
Thinking of this, Ning Yue could not help but shift his gaze to the other two sides.
One was the Dark Emperor. He was currently in closed-door training. When he obtained the Heaven Devouring Scepter, the Dark Emperor went into closed-door training in order to refine the Great Tyrant.
Ning Yue clearly remembered that the Dark Emperor said that as long as he came out of seclusion, his cultivation would at least be in the Earth Sovereign Realm.
The other one was Furball!
Ever since he threw Furball into the Storage Ring, Ning Yue did not really care about it.
It was not that Ning Yue did not want to care about Furball, but Furball had been in closed-door training and had not woken up.
While Furball was in closed-door training, Ning Yue had also tried to wake him up.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard Ning Yue tried, he could not wake Furball up.
Furball was the same as the Dark Emperor. They were both Heaven Devouring Hounds.
However, the Dark Emperor was a Purple Gold Heaven Devouring Hound, the emperor of the Heaven Devouring Hound clan.
Furball's status seemed to be even nobler than the Dark Emperor.
In terms of bloodline, Furball was not inferior to the Dark Emperor at all. In fact, it was a grade higher!
"I wonder if this trip to the saint grade origin crystal mine can wake up Furball and the Dark Emperor at the same time."
Ning Yue thought for a while, then took out a piece of saint grade origin crystal and threw it to the Dark Emperor and Furball.
As for whether they could refine it or not, it would depend on their own luck.
"What the f * ck!"
As soon as he threw the saint grade origin crystal to the Dark Emperor and Furball, Ning Yue immediately realized that he was wrong.
Be it the Dark Emperor or Furball, a terrifying devouring force burst out from their bodies.
In the blink of an eye, the saint grade origin crystal was devoured by them.
"Gulp!"
The speed at which the Dark Emperor and Furball devoured the saint grade origin crystal was completely out of Ning Yue's expectations.
One must know that even Heavenly Sovereigns wouldn't be able to devour saint grade origin crystals so quickly.
Ning Yue swallowed a mouthful of saliva and slightly released his perception, probing the Dark Emperor and Furball.
"Damn it, it's really infuriating to compare humans to dogs!"
Even though Ning Yue was prepared, he could not help but curse at this moment.
That's because the cultivation of the Dark Emperor and Furball was simply unimaginable, which made Ning Yue have the urge to curse.
Before the Dark Emperor went into seclusion, his cultivation was only at the Intermediate Stage Human Sovereign Realm.
But now, the Dark Emperor's aura had clearly reached the pinnacle of the Ninth Grade Human Sovereign Realm, just a step away from the Earth Supreme Realm!
It seemed like what the Dark Emperor said before going into seclusion was indeed true.
The Dark Emperor's cultivation wasn't too shocking to Ning Yue.
What shocked Ning Yue the most was Furball!
Ning Yue clearly remembered that when Furball went into seclusion, his cultivation wasn't even at the Sovereign Realm, not even the Manifestation Realm.
How long had it been, and Furball's aura was actually on par with the Dark Emperor!
In other words, Furball's cultivation was also at the pinnacle of the Ninth Grade Human Sovereign Realm!
Furthermore, in Ning Yue's perception, if the Dark Emperor and Furball were to clash head-on, the Dark Emperor would definitely lose.
"Heaven Devouring Hounds are indeed monstrous fellows."
Ning Yue knew that the Heaven Devouring Hounds were terrifying, but he did not expect them to be this terrifying.
Taking a deep breath, Ning Yue slowly withdrew from the storage ring.
Since the Dark Emperor and Furball were still in seclusion, Ning Yue did not disturb them.
After all, the main force this time was the stone beetles. Even if the Dark Emperor and Furball came out, they wouldn't be of much help.
"There's someone up ahead!"
As soon as Ning Yue withdrew from the storage ring, he heard Hu Wentian's scream.
As a pinnacle Sky Supreme, Hu Wentian's perception was terrifyingly powerful.
As he advanced, he paid attention to the changes in his surroundings.
Although the stone beetle army was advancing at an unstoppable speed, Hu Wentian was no fool. He knew that they hadn't encountered any real danger yet.
If they did, the stone beetle army's speed would definitely slow down.
As expected.
After advancing at full speed for half an hour, the stone beetle army finally slowed down.
"What's going on?" Ning Yue asked with a solemn expression.
"If I'm not wrong, there are at least four experts in the secret room ahead. Two Initial Sky Supreme and two Late Sky Supreme!"
Hu Wentian replied. "We've seen two Initial Sky Supreme cultivators before. They should be the white-haired elder and the short and fat elder from not long ago."
"It's them?" Before Ning Yue could say anything, Xie Ze asked in confusion, "Aren't they Intermediate Sky Supreme? When did their cultivation drop to Initial Sky Supreme?"
"I'm not too sure about that."
