Inside the one-meter-wide spring, the power of the earth veins gushed out unceasingly. The power of the earth veins had a thick brown color, and it was extremely heavy. Each of them seemed to have the weight of a mountain, which was extremely terrifying.
The pressure emitted by this weight constantly impacted the surroundings, maintaining the pressure at a relatively high level and making it difficult to approach.
There was no one within a ten-meter radius of the spring. It wasn't that they didn't want to approach, but that they couldn't.
A figure was sitting cross-legged ten meters away. It was Chen Zong. The second figure was twenty meters away.
Although the figure sitting 20 meters away from the spring was envious of the figure sitting 10 meters away, he knew very well that it was not a distance that he could reach. Even though he was sitting 20 meters away, he had to bear a great deal of pressure at all times. If he took another step forward, he would feel as though his body would be crushed.
At this moment, a figure flew over at an astonishing speed, like a heavenly blade tearing through the sky. As soon as he landed, he stomped on the ground, and with a boom, the ground caved in several hundred meters. Countless shocking cracks appeared, and the figure soared into the sky again, charging forward at an astonishing speed.
Fei Mingyu was ecstatic as he approached the enormous Earth Vein Spring. This Earth Vein Spring was much larger than he had imagined.
"If I absorb and refine it, not only will I be able to successfully condense the King Earth Vein Spiral, but it will also improve my cultivation base." Muttering to himself, Fei Mingyu seemed to be greatly motivated as he sped up again.
He plunged into the Earth Vein Spring. The rich earth vein power immediately wrapped around his body, making him feel so comfortable that he couldn't help but sigh. Immediately after, he rushed toward the spring without slowing down.
However, when he was fifty meters away from the spring, the pressure increased sharply and his speed dropped significantly.
With every meter he advanced, the pressure would increase and his speed would decrease sharply. When he was twenty meters away, his speed was almost the same as running, but it was still decreasing.
Suddenly, Fei Mingyu's footsteps paused and his eyes widened. Terrifying killing intent swept out like a tide and locked onto a figure in front of him.
It was the person who had injured him before.
His hatred and murderous intent were so intense that it was as if magma was about to erupt from a volcano. This extremely dense murderous intent alarmed Chen Zong, causing him to instantly leave his state of comprehension. His eyes emitted a cold light that collided with Fei Mingyu's gaze, causing invisible shockwaves to surge out.
Fei Mingyu wanted to kill Chen Zong, but Chen Zong also wanted to kill Fei Mingyu. The two were like fire and water, but they restrained themselves in this huge Earth Vein Spring.
After all, such a huge Earth Vein Spring was rare. They might not have encountered it in the previous Earth Vein Tide. If they fought, they might destroy it and miss this opportunity.
Therefore, even though Fei Mingyu wanted nothing more than to draw his saber and cut Chen Zong into pieces, a trace of reason still suppressed his impulse and murderous intent.
"I'll spare your life for now." Fei Mingyu's voice entered Chen Zong's ears. His voice was bone-chilling and carried an unresolvable killing intent. In an instant, it felt as if countless blade lights were about to touch him. Chen Zong couldn't help but tremble, his hair standing on end.
Danger!
Chen Zong felt a strong sense of danger from Fei Mingyu's words.
This meant that Fei Mingyu's strength had increased significantly compared to before. He was now strong enough to threaten Chen Zong's life.
"Could it be that this person has already broken through?" Chen Zong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he could not help but secretly guess.
If he had broken through, would he have reached the earth spirit realm?
He couldn't be sure, but it was certain that Fei Mingyu had become stronger. It was also a fact that Fei Mingyu was able to bring such a strong sense of danger to Chen Zong. However, Chen Zong wasn't afraid. Danger was danger, but it was hard to predict the outcome of a real battle.
Additionally, Fei Mingyu didn't seem to want to fight right away. It seemed that he wanted to absorb the power of the Earth Vein to further improve himself. This was in line with Chen Zong's thoughts.
"I'll take advantage of this opportunity to absorb even more power from the ley lines and transform my body into a body of ley lines. Then, I'll reach the upper rank pseudo earth spirit realm. After that, I'll attempt to break through to the earth spirit realm."
Fei Mingyu forcibly suppressed his killing intent and hatred, but only for the time being. He was waiting for an even fiercer eruption later.
Fei Mingyu walked to the front of Chen Zong and sat down cross-legged across from him.
Fei Mingyu was closer to the spring than Chen Zong, but there wasn't much of a difference. They were both ten meters apart, but Chen Zong was ten meters behind while Fei Mingyu was ten meters in front.
They were about twenty meters apart. Normally, this was a very close distance and could be covered in an instant. However, they were separated by a spring and under such pressure, their usual speed was completely suppressed. They could only walk at the speed of an ordinary person at best. Even if Chen Zong wanted to attack, Fei Mingyu would have enough time to react.
Chen Zong relaxed a bit after seeing Fei Mingyu's reaction, but he still maintained a part of his vigilance.
He continued to absorb the power of the Earth Vein.
"I have one foot in the earth spirit realm now, so I'm no longer pseudo. No one here can compare to me in terms of speed of absorption." This wasn't arrogance, but absolute confidence.
Fei Mingyu was confident that he could absorb more power than the person from the Empyrean Association. He held a mid-grade spirit source in each hand.
As soon as he absorbed it, the earth vein energy that was about to seep into his body suddenly rushed into his body like a flood and was quickly refined. Then, along with the spirit energy in his body, it continuously flowed into the blurry and illusory earth vein king vortex.
The King Earth Vein Whirlpool slowly rotated and began to absorb the incoming earth vein spirit force. The faster it rotated, the faster the earth vein spirit force would be absorbed, and the more earth vein spirit force would enter Fei Mingyu's body.
On the other side, Chen Zong continued to absorb the power of the Earth Vein. The energy here was purer and denser than the two springs from before.
Currently, Chen Zong's Spiritual Energy had all transformed into Earth Vein Spiritual Energy, and he had reached the peak of the Extreme Mortal Stage. There was no way for him to increase his Spiritual Energy any further. However, the Earth Vein Spiritual Energy continued to disperse throughout his body, slowly merging into his organs, bones, blood, muscles, and skin.
As for Chen Zong, each of his hands held a mid-grade spiritual source.
The Earth Vein Spirit Qi in one's body was used to fuse with one's body, causing one's body to transform and eventually become an Earth Vein Body. The Earth Vein Spirit Qi would be consumed and had to be replenished. The most efficient way to replenish it was to absorb Earth Vein Spirit Qi from the outside world and fuse it with one's own Spirit Qi.
The Earth Vein Spirit Qi spread to every part of the body and fused into the deepest level of the particles, causing the particles to transform and affect every part of the body. Finally, it became the Earth Vein Body.
Chen Zong could feel that his body was undergoing a marvelous change. This change wouldn't make him more powerful or faster; instead, it would make his body more tenacious, possess more defensive power, and be more resistant to harsh environments. Additionally, his life-saving ability and survivability would be significantly improved.
The speed at which Chen Zong absorbed the power of the earth veins was extremely fast, and the speed at which his body absorbed the power of the earth veins was also extremely fast. His body was like a piece of land that had been dry for a long time, and the power of the earth veins was like rain falling from the sky, constantly being absorbed.
More and more people entered the Earth Vein Spring and absorbed the Earth Vein energy. The Earth Vein energy gradually decreased, but it wasn't obvious.
Chen Zong and Fei Mingyu were the closest to the spring at ten meters. Then there were three people at twenty meters, five at thirty meters, six at forty meters, and eight at fifty meters.
Everyone's body was like a greedy sponge, madly absorbing the Earth Vein energy. Everyone's strength was invisibly increasing.
After some time, the Terra King Vortex inside Fei Mingyu's body began to rotate at full speed. Its suction force had reached its peak. Each rotation would absorb a large amount of spirit energy from the earth vein and fuse with it. The outline of the Terra King Vortex became clearer and more substantial.
Fei Mingyu was very excited as he felt the changes in his body.
According to his original cultivation speed, it would've taken him at least one to three years to break through to the earth spirit realm. But now, he'd directly saved that time.
Cultivation was a race against time, a race against time. The earlier one reached a higher realm, the greater one's future achievements would be.
All of a sudden, all of his internal organs started to tremble, emitting a thunderous roar. His bones and tendons started to vibrate like the roar of a dragon or a tiger. His blood and Qi started to flow like an ocean. His skin started to vibrate like the beating of a drum. Every part of his body started to change rapidly. Chen Zong knew that after absorbing a large amount of spiritual power from the earth vein, his body was about to transform.
Like a whale sucking in water, an astonishing suction force suddenly emerged from the depths of his body. In an instant, he was like a Taotie sucking in water, directly absorbing the spiritual energy of the earth vein in his body.
Rumble!
Waves of mighty roars resounded inside Chen Zong's body. It was as if ten thousand horses were galloping, as if a thousand thunderbolts were exploding — mighty and unparalleled. However, only he could hear this sound; it was very deafening.
Chen Zong could feel that his body had undergone a metamorphosis. His internal organs had become tougher, and his bones had become denser and heavier. His muscles had become tougher, and even his skin had become more tenacious. He could feel that his skin had also become taut. His internal organs had become tougher, and his bones had become denser and heavier. His tendons had become tougher, and his muscles had become tougher. Even his skin had become taut.
With his keen senses, he could tell that his strength had not increased, but his physique had become even more tyrannical. It felt as if his body had been upgraded from wood to steel, allowing him to withstand even more powerful impacts.
"Alright, now that the earthvein body has been formed, my strength has increased yet again. Next, I'll absorb more of the earthvein's spirit power and reach the superior pseudo earth spirit realm, then break through to the earth spirit realm." Chen Zong felt extremely motivated.
