Chapter 355 – Sky Devouring Rat Appears (2/2)
“You have to honestly tell me what you’re planning after you’ve found your true body.” Said Lei Yu.
“Don’t you want to know how to cultivate after reaching the Mahayana stage?” The Devil King’s words had stirred Lei Yu’s appetite. Lei Yu then hesitatingly asked: “There’s actually cultivation methods for after the Mahayana stage?”
“That’s of course, but you need to rescue my true body first and then I’ll tell you everything afterwards.”
“That’s fine.” Lei Yu nodded.
A smile appeared on the Devil King’s face as he said: “Your choice has inadvertently saved your own life or else I would’ve killed you without hesitation!”
“What did you say?” Lei Yu was suddenly startled!
The Devil King returned back into the Universal Pouch but what shocked Lei Yu was the Devil King’s words inside his mind: “Carefully observe your infant’s body!”
After hearing that, lei Yu quickly sent his spirit inside and noticed the green colored brand still on his infant’s body! His heart sank to the bottom of the abyss, “Why? Why? I had clearly forced the green energy out already yet my Nascent Soul still has some left?”
The Devil King coldly laughed once, “The moment your formed your Nascent Soul, I had already injected a portion of my energy inside it. If I personally didn’t act, there’s no way you can get rid of it. And I have the ability to shatter your infant’s body anytime I want!”
“You’re despicable!” Lei Yu clenched his fists.
“Don’t worry. Since you’ve held onto your side of the bargain, I will naturally not go back on my words. As long as you save my true body, I will definitely remove all remnants of my energy!”
Lei Yu had originally been super excited thinking that he had gotten rid of the Devil King’s green energy yet he never imagined the green energy was like a medicinal patch that was near impossible to peel off. But Lei Yu was also thankful for his decisions because if had refused to continue to the fourth region, most likely the Devil King would immediately destroy his Nascent Soul. By that time, regretting would be too late.
Lei Yu wasn’t an ungrateful person. Even though the Devil King was using the green energy to force him to do things, it still accompanied for a long time and had saved him on many occasions. If it weren’t for the green energy’s existence, Lei Yu would never have reached the strength he has today. In a different perspective, Lei Yu should be thankful to the Devil King. It was because of this that Lei Yu had decided to continue helping the Devil King. But who would’ve thought that in the end, he was still threatened to do something he already planned on doing.
After the brief delay, Lei Yu still had to go open the last protective barrier. And it so happens that a much more difficult to deal with presence was waiting in anticipation – the Sky Devouring Rat!
After calming his anger, Lei Yu took out the other Nascent Soul of the Demon Roc Emperor and started flying forward. At this place, a black barrier gradually appeared before Lei Yu which caused him unable to see what was inside.
Lei Yu injected internal energy into the Nascent Soul and threw it out. He wasn’t avoiding the blast like previously but stood in place. He then started spinning the Sky Devouring Sword by the handle forming an airtight protective shield in front of his body.
A huge explosion was heard while a blast wave arrived. It was then easily resisted by the Sky Devouring Sword since it was now imbued with Lei Yu’s power. He found that he could freely control his internal energy to the point where the explosion had no impact on him whatsoever. It looks like reaching the Boundary Transition stage had greatly improved his strength.
The place of explosion created a huge mushroom shape of debris that rose up thousands of meters high. The flames mingled within the mushroom had caused this scene to be spectacular to behold. Lei Yu was even a bit regretful for not fully charging his smartphone to record this amazing sight.
Just as Lei Yu recovered his thoughts, a black blur at least three times faster than him charged over. It bypassed the spinning Sky Devouring Sword and brushed past his left arm.
