Chapter 991: The Zhu Family’s Young Master (1/2)
More than twenty orkhis fruits hovered in the air around Huang Xiaolong with streams of golden vapor continuously flowing out, entering his body.
That golden vapor was the energy contained within the fruits. As it flowed into Huang Xiaolong’s body, his flesh glimmered with bright golden light.
Above Huang Xiaolong’s soul sea, his three supreme godheads were emitting resplendent radiance as they absorbed the spiritual fruits’ energy.
One day, two days, ten days passed in a blink, yet Huang Xiaolong was still sitting cross-legged in the cave, not moving an inch.
The golden light had covered him entirely, akin a cocoon, only the shadow of his silhouette was barely discernible from the outside.
Five more days passed when all of a sudden a crisp sound of something breaking sounded. Huang Xiaolong’s godforce rippled with vigor as he finally broke through to mid-Tenth Order Highgod Realm!
However, Huang Xiaolong continued to absorb the streams of energy flowing out from the orkhis fruits.
Days passed. A little over two months later, Huang Xiaolong finally finished absorbing all the energy coming from the twenty-odd fruits, reaching peak mid-Tenth Order Highgod Realm!
In fact, he was very close to advancing to late-Tenth Order Highgod Realm. Huang Xiaolong was ecstatic with the result.
Now, even without using his primordial divine dragon form, he was confident he could kill a Second Order Heavenly God such as the Lin Family Fort Lord, Lin Chaoqun.
Of course, that was on the condition that Lin Chaoqun did not flee using an ancient talisman like he did the last time.
Huang Xiaolong came to a stand, a self-deprecating smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He spent more than two months refining all the orkhis fruits, which exceeded his estimation and expectations.
In the past, when he was in the lower realm, a ten-million-year-old spiritual fruit would be easily refined within an hour’s time.
Huang Xiaolong recovered from his moment of humility and walked out from the cave. Leaping into the air, he continued making his way toward the Barbarian God Sect.
Even though refining the orkhis fruits had delayed his journey by more than two months, it was quickly negated by the increase in speed brought by his advanced cultivation. Therefore, he would still be able to make it in time for the disciple recruitment exam.
Six days later.
At a certain part of the primeval forest, just as Huang Xiaolong’s palm fell, a blood-curdling beast roar reverberated in the air. An early First Order Heavenly God Realm giant bear laid sprawled in a puddle of blood.
Huang Xiaolong approached the giant bear corpse, dug out its godhead, then disappeared from the scene.
For the last six days, he had hunted demonic beasts as he made his way through the forest. During this time, over a dozen First Order and Second Order Heavenly God Realm demonic beasts died in Huang Xiaolong’s hands. As for Highgod Realm demonic beasts, he didn’t keep count.
Moreover, it didn’t take much of his time to deal with these demonic beasts, hence, his speed wasn't hindered much. But he put away all the godheads he had collected so far, it wouldn't be too late to refine them after completing the disciple recruitment registration.
Soon, three months came and went.
By now, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t remember how many demonic beats he had killed. Inside the Godly Mt. Xumi’s space, the two piles of First Order and Second Order Heavenly God Realm demonic beast godheads had more than two hundred each!
If these godheads were taken out to sell, it would bring quite the income by the Green Cloud Island’s standards.
At some point in the latter part of his journey, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t be bothered to dig out godheads from the Highgod Realm demonic beasts he killed, hurrying on his way.
About three and a half months later, his cultivation had improved from peak mid-Tenth Order to late-Tenth Order, inching that much closer to peak late-Tenth Order Highgod Realm.
Deep into the night, the silence was broken by the random growls of demonic beasts.
Huang Xiaolong was sitting beside a crackling bonfire, roasting a large piece of meat, which caused a savory fragrance to permeate through the forest.
After almost four months of traveling, he would be out from the Blood Phoenix Forest in another two or three more days, arriving at a city called Pingyi City.
