Chapter 523: The Soul of A Phantasm

Time flew. Two weeks passed...

Over the past two weeks, everyone from the Realm of a Hundred Battles had practiced cultivation in silence.

In the colorful area where everyone sat, floating landmasses, boulders, remains of ancient starships, outsider corpses, and all kinds of debris constantly drifted passed them into the thick mist at the end of their segment, passing through to the next segment.

Whenever they saw any interesting objects float by them, they would channel them over and examine them carefully.

However, none of them contained anything noteworthy. All of their efforts turned out to be fruitless.

As time passed, people spent most of their time chatting with each other or wondering where this enormous vortex, which was swirling downwards unceasingly, was going to take them.

After two weeks of recuperation, Nie Tian had already recovered the different types of power he had consumed during his battle against Yang Kan.

Meanwhile, he had expanded his vortexes of flame power, wood power, and star power to their limits. He was now only waiting for his fleshy body to be refined enough to make the breakthrough into the middle Greater Heaven stage.

During the two weeks’ time, two among the group successfully entered the late Greater Heaven stage.

They were Dong Baijie from the Dong Clan and Qian Xin from the Pill Pavilion Sect.

A rigid environment and life-threatening battles could usually stimulate people’s potential and give them enlightenment about the profundity of the incantations they practiced. Dong Baijie and Qian Xin had just achieved their breakthroughs so smoothly after their fierce battles with Yang Kan and Chang Yuan.

Their breakthroughs motivated the others to practice even harder.

Afterwards, everyone practiced cultivation with spirit stones day and night. They even barely talked to each other anymore.

Nie Tian, however, spent most of his time consuming the spirit beast meat Dong Li had purchased for him to fill the green aura’s bottomless appetite.

The efficiency of his digestive system digesting spirit beast meat and generating flesh power was relatively low. Therefore, even though he was eating day in and day out, the amount of flesh power he was receiving was still very limited.

One day, an idea struck him when he was once again stuffed.

He closed his eyes and sent a wisp of flesh power into his ring of holding, where it located the huge pile of spirit beast meat.

Then, he secretly practiced his Life Drain bloodline talent.

Like a greedy snake, as soon as the wisp of flesh power touched a piece of fifth grade spirit beast’s meat, it disappeared into it.

That was when he realized that, even though his target objects were within his ring of holding, he was still able to absorb their flesh power with Life Drain.

As the huge chunk of spirit beast meat was rapidly drained of its vigorous life force, the blood red wisp of flesh power, which was originally the size of a little finger, grew larger and larger.

In a very short period of time, the piece of spirit beast meat that seemed to weigh a few tons was drained of all flesh power, and became shriveled like it had been left in the sun for weeks.

Afterwards, the wisp of flesh power, which had already expanded to the size of a baby’s arm, flew out of his ring of holding into his arm. As soon as it returned to his meridians, the green aura coiled up in his heart sensed it and grew restless.

He could see with great clarity that the significantly thickened wisp of flesh power was instantly channeled back to his heart, where it split into several wisps that were devoured by the green aura.

Nie Tian felt overjoyed by his new discovery. “I can’t believe this actually works!”

Over the following period of time, he secretly halted his cultivation, and frequently unleashed wisps of flesh power into his stock of spirit beast meat in his ring of holding.

With this method, he absorbed the flesh power from the spirit beast meat Dong Li had given him at an unprecedented speed.

However, the green aura in his heart seemed like a bottomless pit. He watched one piece of fifth grade spirit beast meat after another shrink and shrivel, yet the green aura kept yearning for more.

Ten days passed.

Thanks to the Life Drain’s terrifying efficiency, every last piece of the spirit beast meat Dong Li had given him had been drained of their flesh power.

He could only stop for now.

He had set aside some spirit beast meat which he had brought with him so that he would still have enough to get him through the operation.

Since he had already realized that it was his inadequate refinement of his body that was stopping him from making a breakthrough, he didn’t spend much of his time practicing cultivation.

Meanwhile, since he had overly consumed his stock of spirit beast meat, he no longer dared to consume any more of it. Therefore, he took out the skull Qian Xin had given him and studied it from time to time.

A ferocious discarnate soul was sealed within the skull. When he had attempted to examine it with his psychic awareness earlier, he had nearly suffered an injury.
