Chapter 1766: Perfect Breakthrough
Nobody had expected that the strongest young alien would actually be someone from the Imperial Nether Clan. That Ming Zi was freakishly strong. The Nether Yin Gate he formed was incredibly powerful. It latched onto reality like a layer of film, and a black hole appeared before the purple energy, attempting to devour all the energy.
He knew very well that the one to summon the purple energy would be the only one that could absorb and refine the energy. That was because the purple energy would manifest based on the potential of individual cultivators. Nobody else would be able to do anything with it. Thus, Ming Zi decided to ruin the energy instead. If Xiang Shaoyun was allowed to absorb all the energy, he would probably be undefeatable on the outside domain battlefield.
"Swallow it!" Not only were the aliens wishing Ming Zi success but so too were Qin Jiu, Di Lin, and the Celestial War King.
They all knew that everything Xiang Shaoyun had done earlier was only for the sake of misleading everyone. This energy was the actual energy he was using for his breakthrough.
Xiang Shaoyun was at a crucial stage of his breakthrough.
He sensed the resonance between his astral cosmos sea and the nine stars. While the purple energy was heading toward him, he couldn't move. He was stuck focusing on maintaining the resonance so that he could smoothly absorb the purple energy.
However, Xiang Shaoyun lost his confidence when he saw Ming Zi's Nether Yin Gate. He was afraid that the purple energy would be devoured or pulled away. But next, a shocking scene appeared.
The powerful Nether Yin Gate was smashed apart by the purple energy. The gate shattered, and an abundance of death energy was erased. Ming Zi, the controller of the gaze, also received a strong backlash. He was sent flying away while coughing blood.
"How is this possible? My Nether Yin Gate has reached the highest level. Not even a Three Revolutions expert can damage my Nether Yin Gate. How is this purple energy so scary?" roared Ming Zi in indignation.
He was the strongest among the young aliens, and he was confident he could kill any of the humans. After this failure, his confidence wavered because Xiang Shaoyun had successfully absorbed the clump of purple energy.
Instantly, his body started emanating primal inception energy and purple energy. A dragon and a tiger revolved around him, showcasing his perfect condition. His strength instantly soared through the peak of the eighth stage and entered the ninth stage. His body was cleansed, his physique improving by leaps and bounds. His body was now completely pure, his flesh sparkling and translucent, his body flawless.
His astral cosmos sea had also grown multiple times larger than before. Once again, everything in his astral cosmos sea changed. Some saint herbs evolved into god herbs, and some regular herbs evolved into emperor or even sovereign herbs. The divine discerning tree grew even more, turning into a massive tree shouldering the sky. It emanated a thick discerning aura, and a flower started blooming on the tree.
Generally speaking, the divine discerning tree would only flower once every 50,000 years and then spend another 50,000 years forming its fruit. The fruit would then ripen after another 50,000 years. In total, 150,000 years were needed for one ripe divine discerning fruit to be produced. However, the transformation within Xiang Shaoyun's body caused the divine discerning tree to mature and flower rapidly, greatly shortening the time required for a ripe divine discerning fruit to be produced.
The divine primal chaos lotus had also benefited greatly. Previously, it had given its seeds to Dugu Qiubai, exhausting much of its strength. With Xiang Shaoyun's advancement, it managed to replenish much of its energy, so it became incomparably excited.
As for Money, who was latched on Xiang Shaoyun's body, he had also benefited greatly. His cultivation reached fifth-stage Demon God Realm. If he was to undergo a lightning tribulation immediately, he might even be able to enter the sixth stage. He also started emanating a trace of primal inception aura, and his lightning power was enhanced to an even higher tier.
Gui Qi, who resided in his head, had also benefited greatly. The large amount of Imperial Nether soul power he absorbed had allowed his bloodline to undergo yet another evolution. His cultivation had also increased massively.
All those weren't what surprised Xiang Shaoyun the most. What surprised him the most was the fact that after a strand of purple energy entered Dong Ziwan's body, her body reached the God Realm and formed divine primal chaos blood within her. Her soul also broke through repeatedly, reaching third-stage God Realm.
In her new condition, she would be able to refine both the primal chaos spring and life spring and regrow her head. With a perfect body, she would be able to heal by herself, a much better option than having Xiang Shaoyun create a new body for her.
After entering the ninth stage, Xiang Shaoyun even reached the late stage directly. He was only a tiny bit away from peak ninth-stage God Realm. It was evident how incredible the purple energy he had absorbed was. He could feel that his body and strength had reached a flawless pinnacle. Any casual move of his would carry the strength to pluck and crush stars and moons.
Still in his giant form, he looked incredibly imposing. The sparkling and translucent purple energy flowing on his body and the majestic aura he emanated made him seem like someone strong enough to look down on the entire universe.
"Ming Zi, let me kill him," said Gu Wang. He suddenly had a sense of unease, so after shouting unhappily, he swung his bone scythe at Xiang Shaoyun.
This time, he used all his strength and pushed his bone-melting ability to its limits. He was resolute in killing Xiang Shaoyun. The overbearing attack caused all the human onlookers to feel fear. None of them would be able to withstand such an attack.
"Yun'er, come back. Fight them again after you reach the Nine Revolutions Realm!" shouted Xiang Yangzhan anxiously.
"There is no need to wait. I can have a good fight with them right now," replied Xiang Shaoyun calmly. He reached out with his hand and easily grabbed the incoming slash.
His palm seemed to carry an entire universe within it, branded with primal inception profundity. The palm easily captured the incoming slash. More than half the bone-melting profundity was destroyed as well. The attack was so weakened its remaining strength could no longer pose any threat to Xiang Shaoyun.
"Impossible!" Gu Wang stood up and exclaimed in shock.
He couldn't accept the fact that Xiang Shaoyun had so easily captured his slash.
"Good. Excellent. You're worth my full strength. Elder Wang, you don't need to do anything. I'll personally end him," said Ming Zi.
He then pushed his strength to its limits and sent his palm at Xiang Shaoyun once again. This attack was several times more powerful than his previous attacks. It was comparable to even Gu Wang's slash. That was the true strength of the strongest young alien.
