Chapter 14879 Xiao Lianzhu is missing
Inside the secret chamber, the spiritual energy was so dense that it almost turned into water droplets, and a faint mist of spiritual energy surrounded one's body, making one feel as if they were in an ocean of spiritual energy.
Ling Xiao sat cross-legged on a futon in the center of the secret room, with a pile of crystal-clear top-grade spirit crystals in front of him, radiating a powerful spiritual energy.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, slowly closed his eyes, and began to circulate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art within his body...
Now, what he needs to do is to improve his strength as soon as possible. Only by becoming strong enough can he protect the town of Yin and the town, and truly protect Xiao Lianzhu when she returns.
The moment the Devouring Demon Art was activated, Ling Xiao's body seemed to transform into a bottomless black hole, unleashing a terrifying devouring power.
The surrounding spiritual energy, as well as the pure spiritual energy within the top-grade spiritual crystal, were all frantically pulled by this devouring force, flowing into his body continuously like rivers flowing into the sea, along his meridians, and into the depths of his dantian.
Under the influence of the devouring power, the top-grade spirit crystals quickly became dull and lost their luster, eventually turning into a pile of powder that scattered on the ground.
Meanwhile, the spiritual energy within Ling Xiao's body was surging at a visible speed, and his aura was also rising steadily, becoming more and more powerful!
Mid-level Lord late-stage peak... Mid-level Lord Great Perfection... Upper-level Lord early stage!
Breakthrough! Without any bottlenecks and with everything going smoothly, Ling Xiao's cultivation level successfully broke through to the early stage of the Upper Lord realm!
But the absorption did not stop; spiritual energy continued to pour in, and his aura continued to rise!
The early stage of the Upper Lord...the middle stage of the Upper Lord!
The spiritual energy continued to flow continuously, and his cultivation level was still steadily increasing, showing no signs of stagnation!
Outside the secret chamber, Black Impermanence and White Impermanence stood guard at the door, clearly sensing the terrifying devouring power emanating from within, as well as the ever-increasing aura.
The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and their faces with disbelief.
"What kind of technique is this? How can it be so domineering?"
Bai Wuchang's voice trembled slightly, his eyes filled with shock, "In such a short time, he has devoured so many top-grade spirit crystals, and his cultivation is still breaking through. This is too exaggerated!"
"Devouring Heaven Demon Art".
Black Impermanence spoke slowly with a solemn expression, his tone carrying a hint of awe.
"According to legend, this is the Demon Lord's inherited technique, which is extremely domineering and can devour all things in heaven and earth. Whether it is spiritual energy, crystals, or the cultivation and soul of others, it can be devoured and used for one's own purposes to quickly improve one's own strength."
But I never expected this cultivation technique to be so domineering… Those top-grade spirit crystals, enough for a Void Extinction Realm expert to cultivate for half a year, he actually swallowed them all in one go, and he's still breaking through to higher levels!”
"And he's still breaking through!" Bai Wuchang exclaimed again, his voice filled with shock. "Peak of the mid-stage Upper Lord... Late-stage Upper Lord! My god, this speed is simply unprecedented!"
boom!!!
Just then, a slight rumble came from the secret chamber, and Ling Xiao's aura surged to its peak before slowly stabilizing... His cultivation had successfully broken through to the late stage of the Upper Lord realm!
Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes, a flash of light passing through them. He was surrounded by a vast spiritual power, his aura powerful and refined, more than ten times stronger than before!
He felt the surge of power within him, a satisfied smile playing on his lips... With this strength, he at least had the means to protect the underworld town and await Xiao Lianzhu's return.
"Not bad, not bad."
Xia Ming's voice rang out in his mind, his tone carrying a hint of approval.
"The Devouring Heaven Demon Art combined with top-grade spirit crystals has indeed produced amazing results. In such a short time, you have broken through from the peak of the mid-stage Lord to the late-stage Upper Lord. It's like you've been riding a rocket."
However, remember that cultivating too quickly can easily destabilize your foundation. Don't force any breakthroughs recently; spend some time consolidating your cultivation to avoid future problems.
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, agreeing with Xia Ming's statement. He was about to get up to stretch his muscles and consolidate his newly broken-through cultivation when suddenly...
"Young hero! Young hero! Something terrible has happened!"
The anxious voice of Black Impermanence came from outside the secret chamber, filled with obvious panic and unease, his tone hurried, and even trembling slightly.
Ling Xiao's heart tightened, a strong sense of unease instantly welling up within him. He quickly stood up, pushed open the door to the secret chamber, and fixed his gaze on Hei Wuchang, saying in a deep voice:
"What's wrong? What happened? Is something wrong with Pearl?"
Black Impermanence's face was as pale as paper, his forehead covered in cold sweat, and his tone was flustered:
"It's the mayor! The mayor has gone missing! Our spiritual connection with the mayor was suddenly severed just now, and we can't reach him no matter what we try!"
Ling Xiao's expression changed instantly, his aura turned icy, and his unease intensified. He gripped Hei Wuchang's arm tightly and asked urgently:
"When did this happen? What exactly happened? Did the connection suddenly break, or did it gradually weaken?"
"Just now, at the very moment of your breakthrough, young hero, the connection suddenly went dead!"
Black Impermanence hurriedly said, his tone becoming increasingly flustered.
"I tried using telepathy, token sensing, and every other way I could contact the mayor, but there was no response at all. It's as if the mayor vanished into thin air!"
"I'll go down and take a look." Without saying a word, Ling Xiao released Hei Wuchang's arm and turned to run towards the Black Well. He had only one thought in his mind... Xiao Lianzhu couldn't be hurt. He had to find her!
"Young hero! You mustn't!"
Bai Wuchang rushed forward, blocking Ling Xiao's path, his face pale and his tone urgent.
"It's too dangerous down there! Below the entrance to hell, the air is thick with malevolent energy, and there are countless suppressed old monsters. The town mayor is out of contact, which means something must have happened down there!"
Moreover, Black Impermanence just went down to scout ahead, but he's lost contact and hasn't sent back any messages. You can't go down again; going down will only be a pointless death!
"Get out of my way." Ling Xiao interrupted her, his tone calm but carrying an undeniable authority, his eyes cold and resolute, showing no sign of backing down.
"Pearl is down there, she might be in danger. I have to go down and find her, even if it means my death!"
"Young Master Ling, don't be impulsive. Even if your cultivation level improves, you can't be careless..." Bai Wuchang was afraid that Ling Xiao would go down to his death, and then he would be unable to fulfill his promise to Xiao Lianzhu.
"Get out of the way!"
Ling Xiao's face turned cold, and his expression towards Bai Wuchang became fierce.
Bai Wuchang sighed. He knew that he probably couldn't persuade this person today. After all, Ling Xiao and Xiao Lianzhu had such a good relationship, how could he sit idly by now that he knew Xiao Lianzhu might be in danger?
Even he couldn't do it.
"Young hero, please be careful!" Bai Wuchang reluctantly stepped aside.
"Thank you, I will definitely bring Zhu'er back!" Ling Xiao nodded and strode towards the black well. No matter how great the danger, he would not let Xiao Lianzhu bear it alone.
