Chapter 298: Ninth-Stage Transformation RealmXiang Shaoyun was struck by the rocks and trees flying at him from all sides, causing him to be disoriented. Without the high-grade armor he was wearing, he would have been reduced to mincemeat. After all, his opponents were all ghostrune kings. Their attacks wouldn't be weak.

Xiang Shaoyun was. .h.i.t repeatedly, and blood could be seen dripping from the corner of his lips. Evidently, he had sustained injuries. He did not let himself be buried by the stones raining upon him. Relying on his Nether Soul Domain, he continued tracing all the objects flying toward him and swung his saber at them.

Unfortunately, even though the Nether Soul Domain helped him trace all the flying objects, his body was unable to react in time. Objects were hailing down on him from all directions, and many parts of his body were hit. He was in a terrible condition.

”Kid, do you need my help?” Devouring Ghost's voice rang out again.

”No,” Xiang Shaoyun said resolutely.

It was not like he hadn't been in such a bad condition before. This was a good opportunity for him to temper himself. He squeezed even more power from his body, causing the White Tiger Wings that had dimmed to solidify once again. The wings immediately got to work and started slapping the flying objects away from him.

Bang! Bang!

Like a pair of exceptional weapons, the pair of wings swept everywhere, carrying with them a thick vicious gold energy that reduced everything they hit into dust, greatly reducing the pressure Xiang Shaoyun was in.

Xiang Shaoyun did not remain on the defensive. Once again, he displayed the advantage granted to him by the Nether Soul Domain as he started moving nimbly amid the flying objects while accurately dodging the attacks. Slowly, he approached the ghostrune kings.

These ghostrune kings had learned their lesson and gave Xiang Shaoyun no chance to approach them. They uprooted a large number of trees to form a blockade while continuing their relentless barrage on Xiang Shaoyun.

With the help of the White Tiger Wings, Xiang Shaoyun was doing much better. But his current energy expenditure was extremely high, and he wouldn't be able to last long. For some reason, he did not seem to care. In fact, it even seemed like he welcomed the expenditure.

After an unknown amount of time spent trying to catch the ghostrune kings, Xiang Shaoyun's energy was finally near complete exhaustion. The injuries he had sustained were also reaching a point where he couldn't hold on any longer.

His wings dimmed again, and that was followed by more than 10 heavy hits landing on his body. Blood started flowing from the parts of his body unprotected by the armor. Slowly, the pain eroded Xiang Shaoyun's willpower, forcing him to give up.

I can still hold on! I can still hold on! Xiang Shaoyun told himself repeatedly. He was unreconciled. He wanted to smash apart even more of his shackles and squeeze more of his potential out.

He started circulating the Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual. His nine stars shone brightly, squeezing out every ounce of strength left in him, and finally, more of his hidden potential was forced out. Strands of hidden power started coming out from within him, replenis.h.i.+ng his astral energy and nouris.h.i.+ng his injuries, helping him slowly recover his combat strength.

”This is not enough. I need more power! AHHHH!” Xiang Shaoyun roared and circulated his cultivation method even faster. His innate purple lightning, his white tiger energy, and Yun Flame's energy erupted at the same time, shrouding him with three different energies of purple, gold, and red.

Xiang Shaoyun's energy barrier became firmer, and once again, his White Tiger Wings turned solid, and they seemed to have grown longer.
