Chapter 1905: Evolution Begins (1/2)
Massive corpses of ancient netherspirits piled high on the horizon, surrounded by a deep, intricate claw and palm prints pattern.
A strange stench soon permeated the air within the one hundred million li radius, coming from the ancient netherspirits’ corpses.
This stench smelled like decay and death. It was appallingly unpleasant since an ancient netherspirit did not consist of any real flesh and blood and was a unique existence formed from devil qi and death qi in the Famish Devil Ancient Battlefield space.
When a certain amount of this ‘stench’ entered the body, even Emperor Realm experts would be hard-pressed to detoxify themselves and would get corroded to death.
But this stench was futile against the Three Skull Ancestors, four odd beasts, and the Ice Dragons.
The killings continued.
While Huang Xiaolong continued refining the Glaze Devil Stele, the brilliant light from the Glaze Devil Stele shone brighter and stronger, awakening and attracting more ancient netherspirits that were in slumber.
Moreover, the ancient netherspirits that awakened were more powerful. As time passed, the attacks were dominated by Tenth Order Emperor Realm ancient netherspirits.
Then again, even Emperor Realm ancient netherspirits could only be reduced to dregs when their opponents were the Three Skulls Ancestors, four odd beasts, and seventy-plus Ice Dragons. No matter how many ancient netherspirits came or how powerful they were, they could not break past the defensive line.
Then again, as powerful as these ancient netherspirits inside the Famish Devil Ancient Battlefield’s space were, and even though they had reached Tenth Order Emperor Realm strength, there were only a small number of late-Tenth Order Emperor Realms. At most, only one or two appeared. Peak late-Tenth Order Emperor Realm strength was lesser still. It had been several days since the ancient netherspirits had started attacking. No peak late-Tenth Order Emperor Realm ancient netherspirit had yet appeared.
Even so, the Three Skull Ancestors did not dare to relax their vigilance.
According to an old rumor, there was a Sovereign Realm ancient netherspirit inside this Famish Devil Ancient Battlefield.
Though it was said that the Sovereign Realm ancient netherspirit was in slumber most of the time, what if it was awakened by the noises Huang Xiaolong was making?
Two months soon went by.
The number of attacking ancient netherspirits reduced gradually.
Huang Xiaolong’s figure inside the pit had completely disappeared in the brilliant lights. Others could barely make out the Glaze Devil Stele and the outline of a giant spinning egg.
Several layers of light surrounded the bright, shining egg, forming a thick, brilliant eggshell. Huang Xiaolong sat at the center within the eggshell, continuously devouring the Glaze Devil Stele’s brilliant light.
The brilliant light contained an indescribable amount of energy. It was far greater than Huang Xiaolong had imagined. Not only was the Glaze Devil Stele’s energy greater than the Blood Eye Devil Stele, but it was also higher than the Myriad Curses Devil Stele by many times.
At this point, Huang Xiaolong’s cultivation had reached the peak of mid-Tenth Order Heavenly Monarch Realm. Although he was still some distance away from advancing to the late-Tenth Order Heavenly Monarch Realm, his cultivation was rising so fast that it could only be described as shocking.
In the middle of the egg’s internal space, Huang Xiaolong had an illusion of being transported to the beginning of time, the Chaos Era, or perhaps the Grandmist Era.
Faint threads of chaos qi emerged around him.
Despite the paltry amount of chaos qi, the chaos qi flowed consistently and accumulated steadily.
As chaos qi increased, Huang Xiaolong’s three supreme godheads, body, and soul began to change.
Silk thin threads of chaos light appeared in the vast ocean of godforce inside his three supreme godheads. These chaos lights were actually threads of chaos law.
Half a year went by.
Huang Xiaolong quivered as he broke through to the late-Tenth Order Heavenly Monarch Realm!
