Chapter 346 – Taking The Nascent Soul (2/2)

“I thought I’d be able to appear in reality again but didn’t expect to be not needed, sigh!” Said Xue Yu while pretending to be disappointed.

“Next time, next time, first help me recover!” After saying that, Lei Yu who was floating on his back in the sea went back to a sitting position and didn’t sink into the waters. Lei Yu was in the process of absorbing while Xue Yu assisted by healing and refining the spiritual energy. With the cooperation of the two, Lei Yu’s energy recovery rate was clearly much faster now.

It’s not entirely that the bull-head’s Thirty-six Lunar Star technique was that powerful that it could pierce through anything. This martial technique was of course an exquisite piece of art, but the power behind was only a singular property. If both Lei Yu and the bull-head stood at the apex of the Mahayana stage, there’s a chance that the bull-head would not be Lei Yu’s opponent!

Having analyzed the martial technique for such a long time, Lei Yu used his unique powers and integrated it with the Thirty-six Lunar Star’s special offensive properties. So with his special lightning attributes fused in, he was able to come up with his own attack methods. On the other hand, the bull-head was only capable of releasing attacks that contained internal energy and wouldn’t be able to achieve the piercing powers like Lei Yu’s. With the difference between the two, it will clearly show the gap in power between their attacks.

After several hours of recuperating, Lei Yu finally opened his eyes. He still felt a bit weak but at least it was much better than how he was feeling before.

In the Immortal World whether one was a martial cultivator, a demonic cultivator, or the elusive devil cultivator that Lei Yu hasn’t seen yet, they were all full of personal treasures. Lei Yu of course wouldn’t let this opportunity of taking treasures slip by. And there had always been a question he was curious about and he was going to find out soon!

Lei Yu flew up into the air towards the White Scaled Giant Crocodile’s corpse that had drifted over a few kilometers away. After descending down, Lei Yu injected his internal energy into the Sky Devouring Sword and stabbed it into the giant crocodile’s abdomen. Blood started gushing out while Lei Yu remained extremely cautious. He didn’t forget about the explosion that happened to the Dragon-Snake’s corpse back then.

After retreating backwards and not seeing any changes, Lei Yu once again went up to the corpse and dug deeper with the Sky Devouring Sword. Without the protection of internal energy as a reinforcement, the giant crocodile’s natural defense was still strong but couldn’t resist the Sky Devouring Sword filled with energy.

Upon examining closer, Lei Yu actually found an infant like being floating there! He edged the Sky Devouring Sword close to the infant and suddenly a bright white light flashed as if it was making its last resistance!

This was the Nascent Soul of a super expert at the Boundary Transition stage, something that a Gold Core could never compare to!

The Nascent Soul that lacked a living body was slowly sucked into the palms of Lei Yu. After his suppression, Lei Yu was successful in calming it down while the previous resistance disappeared. At this time, the Nascent Soul that was giving off a warm white light really looked like a small infant lying in the palms of Lei Yu.

The infant wasn’t very big; it was about the size of a single hand and his two palms managed to cup it perfectly.

With a thought, he stored it inside his Universal Pouch. Right now Lei Yu wasn’t in a hurry to use it. Once he took care of all his things, he will have plenty of time to raise his strength in the future.

While on top of the Sky Devouring Sword, Lei Yu was now slowly absorbing spiritual energy to replenish his internal energy as he continued flying forward.

At the edge of what was considered the eastern sea region, living creatures and other demonic cultivators were seen less often. Lei Yu could clearly feel an enormous pressure in this area, and even the air felt thick in this environment. As he flew forward, he could feel an invisible energy dragging him down. Although it didn’t cause too much of an impact, Lei Yu still felt uncomfortable from its effect.

Lei Yu gradually descended onto a small island. He looked off into the distant gloomy fog but couldn’t see anything beyond it.

At this time, his mind heard the Devil King’s voice: “This region is the Forest of Fog, a place that no one has dared to take half a step into!”

“No one? Then what about me?” Lei Yu raised the Sky Devouring Sword and cut his hair that had reached his waist already. A chunk of hair fell to the ground and Lei Yu’s already wild looking hair looked even messier now.

(T/N: I have no clue the meaning behind Lei Yu cutting off his own hair at a time like this.)
