Only when he beheaded Myriad God Patriarch and confirmed that he was deader than dead did Yi Yun feel his body go limp. He felt like he was about to collapse.
His counterattack to kill Myriad God Patriarch was a challenge to Yi Yun's limits. Be it his intellect, decisiveness, or strength, it was a huge test for Yi Yun.
If he had made even the slightest mistake, the outcome would have been completely different. Compared to that, absolute strength allowed him to control his fate. He could not hope for his enemies to be in a heavily injured state every time, especially when he had the perfect environment.
It could be said that the final killing of Myriad God Patriarch was all thanks to the array set up by Godly Monarch Still Destruction. If not, Yi Yun's final desperate strike would only have severely injured Myriad God Patriarch. However, the Still Destruction black beams nearly killed Myriad God Patriarch!
This included Yi Yun. Even though his Major Destruction laws were interlinked with Godly Monarch Still Destruction's, he was still struck in the shoulder by a black beam when he dodged the Still Destruction black beams while being heavily injured. Large amounts of flesh and blood vanished.
Yi Yun sat cross-legged on the spot and took out a few recuperative pills to consume. He began meditating and regulating his breathing. He had burned too much of his blood essence and had been severely injured by Myriad God Patriarch. If he did not treat his injuries quickly, it might affect his martial foundations.
At that moment, the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm flew over and coiled itself around Yi Yun's shoulder.
"You have done well this time." Yi Yun smiled as he rubbed the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm's tiny head. Then, he fed it a pill.
In fact, even without the pill, the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm would slowly recover. It had absorbed large amounts of Yuan Qi from Myriad God Patriarch's dantian, nourishing its rapid growth.
However, when it saw the pill Yi Yun fed it, the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm happily took in the medicinal fragrance before swallowing the pill in one mouthful.
Then, the man and snake quietly began recuperating from their injuries.
After he recovered from his injuries, Yi Yun walked in front of Myriad God Patriarch's headless corpse. With a grabbing motion, an interspatial ring landed in Yi Yun's hand.
When he probed the interspatial ring with his perception, Yi Yun revealed a look of disappointment. There was not much left in Myriad God Patriarch's interspatial ring.
In fact, Myriad God Patriarch had invested most of his savings into the Dragon Emperor Relic and the Ascending Dragon Cauldron. In the end, the Dragon Emperor Relic was devoured by Yi Yun, while the Ascending Dragon Cauldron was taken by Yi Yun. In order to make Old Snake believe that he was dead, Myriad God Patriarch had blasted out his remaining reserves with Old Snake's final strike. Of course, they were swept away by Old Snake.
Now, Myriad God Patriarch had spent a considerable portion of his remaining wealth to treat the injuries Old Snake had inflicted on him. Yi Yun was truly dissatisfied with what was left.
If Myriad God Patriarch knew what was on Yi Yun's mind, he would probably come back to life from anger.
It was better than nothing. Yi Yun took the pills and two Godly Monarch Immortal Annuli from the ring. Following that, he flicked out a bit of Heretical God Fire from his fingertip and threw it at Myriad God Patriarch's corpse.
As the inferno burned fiercely, Myriad God Patriarch was finally destroyed in both body and soul. Even his corpse was reduced to ashes.
Following that, Yi Yun came outside the killing array.
Looking at the black monolith inside, Yi Yun first gave a solemn bow.
"Senior Godly Monarch Still Destruction, although we have never met before, thanks to the killing array you left behind today, I was able to slay my enemy."
In addition, Yi Yun was planning on taking the herb away today. It was only right for him to bow.
The herb might have been forgotten by Godly Monarch Still Destruction years ago after he planted it. But with the passage of time, the herb had grown into a supreme-grade divine herb. To Yi Yun, who needed to cultivate the Dragon Emperor Technique and expend large amounts of natural treasures, it was what he needed the most.
Yi Yun was in no hurry to retrieve the herb. In his present situation, there was no way for him to do so.
He sat quietly outside the array and consumed a precious healing pill. He circulated the Dragon Emperor Technique and meditated to regulate his breathing.
The River of Forgetfulness's water was still working but it was no longer as obvious as before.
Yi Yun took a few months to regulate his breathing. The injuries Myriad God Patriarch had inflicted on him were just too severe. If these injuries were inflicted on an ordinary warrior, they would probably take years to recuperate. They would also need to consume a sizable amount of natural treasures.
Yi Yun had the Dragon Emperor Technique that tempered his lifeblood and body, but he barely managed to recover. Although his injuries had turned for the better, his lifeblood was still weak.
However, Yi Yun could not wait any longer. In the past few months, Yi Yun had been recuperating and studying the Still Destruction Array in his free time. He was already confident that he could crack the array.
Yi Yun pondered for a moment outside the killing array before taking a step forward and walking straight into the Destruction killing array.
The moment he entered the array, Yi Yun's footsteps immediately triggered the killing array as a black beam of light shot out. But at that moment, a black mist appeared outside Yi Yun's body. When the black beam of light came to Yi Yun's side, it suddenly changed directions.
As Yi Yun proceeded forward, the number of black beams increased. However, Yi Yun did not stop. Amid the black beams of light, he was like a swallow in a storm. Although it looked extremely dangerous, he was able to shuttle through the rain freely, dodging the black beams of light at unbelievable angles.
Back when he was fighting Myriad God Patriarch, Yi Yun would still be brushed by the black beams of light. But now, he was able to walk freely in the black beams of light even though he had yet to recover. This was because Yi Yun's understanding of the Destruction killing array had improved after the previous battle.
With that, he arrived in front of the divine herb. When Yi Yun came within a hundred feet of the divine herb, the black beams suddenly vanished. The Destruction killing array fell silent once again.
With the danger gone, the mysterious herb was gently swaying in front of Yi Yun, emitting a majestic lifeblood energy. Just standing in front of the herb made Yi Yun feel like all his lifeblood was being stirred. His blood was in a frenzy as his heart raced. It felt like it was about to leave his body.
And at that moment, Yi Yun turned his head as though he had sensed something. The Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm on his shoulder was staring intently at the mysterious herb with glowing eyes. It was constantly swallowing its saliva.
Yi Yun could sense the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm's desire. As a worldly spirit beast, it probably had better judgment than Yi Yun when it came to rare herbs.
After some thought, Yi Yun used two of his fingers as a blade. With a gentle swipe, he sliced open the soil beneath the spirit herb and plucked the entire plant.
When the spirit herb landed in Yi Yun's hand, the few leaves it grew automatically fell off, revealing a red fruit in the middle of the leaves.
"Eh?"
Yi Yun was slightly astonished. He had indeed never seen such a fruit before. There were no records of it in the divine alchemist's notes.
As for the few leaves that fell off, they were definitely priceless treasures! Yi Yun handed the few leaves directly to the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm.
The Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm's eyes seemed to follow Yi Yun's every movement. Upon seeing this scene, Yi Yun could not help but find it amusing.
Just as he placed the leaves in front of the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm, it immediately pounced forward and swallowed the leaves in one mouthful. The leaves were nearly the same length as the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm. It opened its mouth to bite down on the leaves before twisting its body to swallow the leaves bit by bit.
During this process, Yi Yun paid close attention to the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm's situation. Although the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm was a worldly spirit beast that relied on natural treasures to grow, making it likely able to tell if the leaf was edible or not and what its uses were, it was still a nameless herb after all. Therefore, Yi Yun paid close attention to it.
At that moment, the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm revealed a satisfied look after devouring the leaves. Its plump body rolled down and Yi Yun caught it in his palm. It even rolled around in satisfaction.
"Uh …" Yi Yun picked up the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm and shook it gently. He could not help but laugh when he realized that the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm looked like it was drunk. Its body swayed as it heaved up and down. Soon, there was even breathing. It had fallen asleep.
But gradually, the breathing sounds turned louder and louder. It sounded like thunder or a drum, and there was even a hint of a dragon's roar.
It was unbelievable that such a loud sound could be produced from a tiny body like the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm.
Furthermore, Yi Yun sensed that the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm's lifeblood was constantly rising. Its body was flushed red and it felt like it was about to explode.
Yi Yun was somewhat nervous. However, this was the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm's judgment. It was unlikely to be in any danger.
At this moment, waves of Origin Energy gathered from all directions. Gradually, it seemed to condense into a Origin Energy cloud in the sky above the valley.
Following that, wisps of cloud threads hung down from the Yuan Qi cloud, wrapping around the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm's body.
The cloud threads increased in number and eventually, they wrapped the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm into a cocoon. The Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm's breathing also vanished from the cocoon. However, Yi Yun sensed it with his psyche and knew that the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm was undergoing a metamorphosis inside the cocoon.
The Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm was evolving?
Yi Yun was pleasantly surprised. From the looks of it, after absorbing Myriad God Patriarch's blood essence and consuming the mysterious herb's leaves, the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm's energy had finally accumulated to a critical level. It was pushing the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm to the brink of evolution.
This metamorphosis process could take a very long time or it could end very quickly.
Yi Yun was rendered speechless when he saw the cocoon turn calm. Although it was called the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm, it looked like a snake. Now, it was spinning a cocoon. It looked odd no matter how he looked at it.
After carefully putting away the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm's cocoon, Yi Yun looked at the mysterious herb again. The herb could accelerate the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm's evolution. Its medicinal essence was beyond doubt.
He carefully put away the fruit and left the valley.
Yi Yun flew in the air for a period of time before he landed in a secluded spot in the valley.
There was a tiny waterfall here. There were no ferocious beasts, only birds and tiny animals. It was a very peaceful place.
Yi Yun sat down on a boulder beside the waterfall and began meditating. This meditation lasted for another seven days.
Only when Yi Yun felt that his mental strength had recovered to an optimal state did he take out the mysterious herb.
