274 Dharma Power Control (1/2)
Just how long had the issue of a disturbance in Spirit energy persisted on the Guiyao planet?
This was something Zhou Donghuang was not too sure of.
The only thing he knew for sure was that this situation had already been a thing on the Guiyao planet long before the Alliance Hunt had been a thing. ”If the issue of a disturbance in Spirit energy on the Guiyao planet, as well as the disappearance of life essence from the dead beasts, were both for the benefit of a demon…
”That demon that has been growing to this day will undoubtedly be peerless the moment it's spawned!”
Zhou Donghuang knew full well that even if the Spirit energy on the Guiyao planet could not compare to the amount from the countless planets in the Hengliu galaxy, the demon would have grown to a frightening level after years of accumulating the Spirit energy.
At the very least, adepts below the Separating Divinity stage would not be able to stop it.
Meanwhile in the Hengliu galaxy, even the stronger of the two Transcendental Forces was only a late Divine Transformation adept…
This was all information Zhou Donghuang had obtained from He Mengxi.
”In my past life, I don't remember Third Senior Sister mentioning a demon wreaking havoc in the Hengliu galaxy… So it seems I can be sure that the demon of the Guiyao planet had not been born before Third Senior Sister had left the Hengliu galaxy after the destruction of the Lightning Sword Sect.”
At this point, Zhou Donghuang let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was also curious: just where in the Guiyao planet was this demon hidden?
Judging solely by the current situation: From the big sects of the Hengliu galaxy Alliance, the Divine Transformation adepts had searched the Guiyao planet before the start of the hunt in an attempt to see if there existed either martial adepts or beasts above the Primordial Soul stage. However, none of them had ever found anything.
It was obvious that the demon had been hidden well.
”With how I am now, I don't think it's a practical move to try to discover where the demon is while the hunt is on… I should focus on the Alliance Hunt for now, then make my next move after I have the Sky Sun fruit in my hands. I'll see if I can find the demon after the Alliance Hunt ends.”
Zhou Donghuang made up his mind in a split second.
Although he did not think that his current abilities could match up to the demon, it was obvious that it had not fully formed yet. This was because a fully formed demon would be strong the moment it was born into the world. If a strong enough person did not kill or deal with the demon, there was a ninety percent chance a lot of damage would be dealt.
The spawning ground was generally no good place to be.
This was also one reason why Zhou Donghuang was so disturbed.
However, Zhou Donghuang did not forget that he was still a part of the Alliance Hunt at this moment. As such, he continued roaming the Guiyao planet after he made his mind up, killing beast after beast.
Before, he did not collect the heads of the mid Dharma beasts after he had killed them. After that, he moved on to killing other mid Dharma and early Dharma beasts, collecting their heads and storing them in the other two space rings.
In one of the rings, he stored only the heads of the early Dharma beast. In the other he used it to store those of the late Dharma beasts.
He could not accumulate points from these two types of beasts even if he brought them along, but he could gift them to other people before he left.
If he could run into He Mengxi and Da Zhuang before he left, he could still hand the heads of the mid Dharma beasts over to them to boost their loot… He had even thought of saving the heads of the early Dharma beasts so he could hand them over to Luo Qinghan if they crossed paths on the Guiyao planet.
Of course, he knew that there was no way Luo Qinghan would accept them.
As such, he had no intention to reveal his true identity to Luo Qinghan when they met.
He could keep his identity a secret.
”Never would have thought that I'd be having girl problems… That girl, though, she really is stubborn.”
Whether it was the choice she had made earlier or the way she refused to acknowledge him now, Zhou Donghuang remained calm through it all.
He was no longer as willful now as he was before—he had once knocked on Luo Qinghan's door to look for the lady. With regards to her, he had resigned himself to fate. Otherwise, he would definitely have kept a close eye on Luo Qinghan the moment they entered the Guiyao planet. He would have kept tabs on her and where she went; he would follow to protect her and even help her hunt beasts.
Earlier, he had hastily stuck up for her when the Tiansong Sect disciple, Mo Yitian had proposed, but he had not intervened to rescue Luo Qinghan.
There were some things he could let slide, as long as he was there to witness it.
But if he were, there was no way he could stand still.
On the way here, there were no beasts that could stand against Zhou Donghuang, no matter what kind of beast they were.
The early Dharma beasts, he took down with a single blow.
The mid Dharma beasts, he took down with a single blow.
The late Dharma beasts, he took down with a single blow.
The ultimate Dharma beasts, too… Even those, he took down with a single blow.
There was no challenge.
There was no pressure.
