403 Restored Youth (1/2)

Yun Yang was somewhat skeptical of the narration; it was simply too hyperbolic and absurd.

Even if the Flame Emperor was second to none in his prowess and could only absorb one-tenth of a thousandth of the star’s force, how could the siderite be only this large if it was actually a complete star?

Also, how could a complete star fall from the sky?

Seeing that Yun Yang was increasingly doubtful, Emmie was filled with contempt.

”Ayaya…”

”What?” Yun Yang asked irritably. ”You dare call me a bumpkin? It looks like you really don’t wish to stay well, do you?”

”Ayaya~” Emmie conceded defeat right away, admitting that it had gone overboard and that its master was not really a bumpkin. Well, not too much of one, anyway.

Yun Yang snorted and did not take the matter to heart; after all, he knew that he truly lacked in knowledge and was woefully ignorant.

Besides, he could not take what was inside the meteorite on his own. He had to depend on Emmie.

It was not too late to make the brat clean up its act after he had gotten enough for himself. By then, he would definitely let Emmie knew why the world was the way it was and that it could not simply call its master a bumpkin!

Having received a confirmation, Yun Yang threw himself into the work.

He raised the saber in his hand before hacking down under Emmie’s nervous cry.

It was like a strike of lightning – Yun Yang exerted a hundred and twenty percent of his own strength in that swing! He had given his all.

According to Emmie’s observation, the slash had sliced off a small piece of the siderite’s outer skin. As such, a glimpse of the maroon inner core of the star could be seen.

What he saw was what he got, so Yun Yang hesitated no more after seeing that it was effective. He hacked left and right, front and back, top and bottom – after six chops, only a siderite core the size of two fists was left behind.

Then, it was Emmie’s time to shine.

An unprecedentedly rich force of life wrapped itself around Yun Yang’s hands; he secured the siderite with one hand while another carved its way inside while holding the Divine Edge.

It was a critically climatic moment right now. Even the slightest damage to the essence inside would be a great loss!

Only Yun Yang alone could execute such a maneuver!

Any strong contender in this world, aside from the said youth, could never have done it, no matter how great a cultivation base or how mystical an arcane skill they had.

That was because only the force of life could withstand such high temperatures and successfully touch the core of siderite!

Of course, there was also the contribution of the Divine Edge that was the only thing that could cut through the siderite.

If it had been anyone else, just the inner core’s heat alone would have charred them to ashes regardless if they could deal damage to the outermost layer of the fallen star – it would end the same way, no matter how proficient the expert was!

Once the inner core of the siderite greeted the world, it inevitably exuded an immensely high temperature, yet the heat was canceled by the force of life, thus resulting in a huge quantity of smoke. The room was engulfed in thick billows of ash instantly, tinged with a burnt smell.

All that was incinerated was the most refined energy of life!

The extravagance was baffling!

Outside the room and above the small yard, a thick mass of smoke curled up into the sky and concealed both heaven and earth, looking like half of Zilong City was on fire.

Sun Chengfeng, who was in the inner hall, looked outside with reverence.

Those were balls of rich life force burning in there...

Sun Chengfeng’s beard was trembling from his heartache.

Yun Yang was still chopping and slicing away while Emmie delivered what was needed wholeheartedly. Finally…

The inner part of the siderite showed a glimpse of a yellow beam that was akin to liquid; it was translucent and smooth, yet still managed to look like it was sticky.

An indescribable fragrance wafted into the air. At the same time, a heavy force akin to gravity could be felt.

Before Yun Yang could relish in it or even sneak a peek, the yellow material vanished immediately!

Emmie was like a fox that had waited for thousands of years and charged with reddened eyes of hunger when it saw little chicks, intent on devouring all that was there!

Collected!

It had finally been collected!

In a flash, the remaining piece of the siderite turned dull, leaving behind only a small shell with a tiny hole on it.

It was as big as a goose egg, but the yolk was gone.

The outer skin that had lost its inner core contained no more warmth as well.

Shortly, the thick smoke disappeared.
