Chapter 2246 Exasperation

Absorbing the spirit essence contained within the light barrier, Zhang Xuan’s soul became stronger and stronger. At the same time, his control over his soul energy grew more refined.

It did not take long for his soul cultivation to reach satiation once more.

However, there was nothing to worry about.

With a thought, he redirected the spirit essence toward his clone, strengthening its soul.

He soon absorbed everything that could be absorbed.

Raising his head once more, he saw Ao Feng floating in the air with a bloodied body like a slain dragon. It felt like the other party had really used up all his strength.

He did not look as imposing as he did before.

“I have a pill here that can heal your stamina. Eat it!”

With a flick of his finger, Zhang Xuan threw a pill over to Ao Feng.

If the other party really fainted, he would not be able to absorb the spirit essence around peacefully anymore.

Besides, given how much he had absorbed earlier, it was only right for him to repay the favor.

“My injuries are too severe. Ordinary pills won’t work,” Ao Feng said with a bitter smile.

Even pinnacle God Essence Pills were not of much use to him, let alone some low-tier pills. Given the extent of his injuries, he would require at least a purer Dragon Bloodline in order to recover.

“Just give it a try!” Zhang Xuan said with a smile.

He had infused his Pathos of Heaven zhenqi and a bit of Little Chick’s blood into the high-tier God Essence Pill he had flicked over. That should be more than enough to heal up ordinary injuries.

Seeing the young man insisting on the matter, Ao Feng suddenly recalled how the young man was able to pass through the phantasmagoric spirits in order to get to it.

Perhaps in the hope that a miracle would happen, he opened his mouth and swallowed it.

As soon as he swallowed the pill, a warm flow spread across his whole body and healed his injuries.

“This…” Ao Feng narrowed his eyes in shock.

The effects of the pill were already comparable to a God Monarch realm pill!

To be willing to give away such a valuable pill so casually… Just who in the world was this young man?

Lowering his head, he saw the young man waving his hand calmly, saying, “You can get back to work now…”

“…” Ao Feng’s eyebrows danced up and down.

Just like that, the gratitude he felt for the young man vanished like a puff of smoke.

Aren’t you treating me like your slave?

Ao Feng looked around him and saw that most of the God Kings he had brought in were already injured, and their formation was on the verge of collapsing. Knowing that this was not the time to be fussing over this, he gritted his teeth and continued striking the light barrier furiously.

Kacha! Kacha!

The light barrier shuddered, and spirit essence began diffusing into the surroundings once more.

Zhang Xuan absorbed for a while longer before he began frowning in dissatisfaction once more.

As his clone had neither comprehended the Pathos of Heaven nor received the World’s Conferment, he needed a greater amount of soul energy than Zhang Xuan.

Initially, he did not really think much of it. However, the more he absorbed the spirit essence, the more frustrated he felt with how slow the rate at which the spirit essence was being produced.

The rate of how fast one cultivated did make a huge difference. If one’s rate of cultivation was too slow, it would be hard to gather enough momentum to push for a breakthrough.

Why do I have to wait for Ao Feng to strike the spirit essence from the light barrier before absorbing it? Why can’t I just absorb it straight from the light barrier? Zhang Xuan thought.

Looking at how exhausted Ao Feng was, to the extent that his tongue was stuck out like a tired dog, Zhang Xuan knew that it would be impossible to get him to pick up his speed. So, he turned his gaze toward the cocoon-like light barrier in the sky instead.

It would indeed be easier to absorb the diffused spirit essence from the light barrier, but since the output could not keep up with the rate of consumption, it was time to make some modifications to the plan.

If only he had known that Ao Feng was such a lousy worker, he never would have given the latter the pill.

What a waste of resources.

It seemed like Conferred God Kings were not as formidable as he had thought.

Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan moved over to the light barrier and attempted to absorb the spirit essence in it. However, the exterior was so hard that he could not absorb it at all.

Ah, that explains why that fellow isn’t able to break it. This light barrier is indeed scarily resilient…

He raised his fist and gave the light barrier a good, hard punch, but the rebound from striking a hard surface caused his arm to go numb instead.

The light barrier formed from the purest essence of the plant spirits was more frightening than he had thought.

Even though he did not use his soul cultivation in the attack, no matter what, his physical body had still gone through the tempering of the Deathless Lava Reservoir. In terms of sheer strength, the amount of force he could dish out was far greater than that of other Conferred God Kings.

Yet, even with such strength, he still suffered a rebound that caused his hand to ache.

It seemed like one would at least require the powers of a God Monarch in order to swiftly breach the light barrier.

Let me try with a weapon then…

Since his fist did not work, Zhang Xuan quickly drew the Crimson Heaven Sword that the God Monarch of the Sword Hut had given him back then.

Hu!

The wind batters unceasingly on the unwilling tree, a son seeks to be filial but time slips past his grasp!

Zhang Xuan executed the Pathos of Heaven 4-dan sword art.

Puhe!

The light barrier in front did not even manage to hold its ground for a split second before a huge hole was ripped in it. Caught off guard, Zhang Xuan ended up stumbling inside the light barrier.

This… Zhang Xuan blinked blankly.

As his fist did not work earlier, he had expected it to take a great deal of effort to break the light barrier even if he used his swordsmanship. To his astonishment, he managed to tear a hole in it so easily…

If only he had known that it was that easy, he would not have wasted his time.

At the same time, Zhang Xuan could not help but wonder just what tier of weapon the Crimson Heaven Sword was. Was it not way too sharp?

Placing his sword back into his storage ring, Zhang Xuan began absorbing the spirit essence once more, and this time around, he could feel concentrated energy streaming ceaselessly into his body rapidly.

Hmm, just as I thought. It’s much more convenient absorbing the spirit essence from inside…

He could hardly absorb anything while he was out there, but in here, the spirit essence flowed so easily into his body that he really wondered what he had been doing the past few minutes.

Channeling the spirit essence toward the clone in his storage ring, his clone’s soul cultivation quickly rose through the ranks, causing his fighting prowess to rise swiftly.

Peng peng peng!

While Zhang Xuan was absorbing the spirit essence from the inside, Ao Feng was still striking the light barrier with all his might. Dragon blood was dripping from his claws, and his nails had blunted as a result of smashing against something absurdly hard.

Just as he was thinking of giving up once more, he suddenly noticed that the young man from before had already slipped in and was standing inside quietly, not moving at all.

Once again, Ao Feng felt a sweet sensation at the back of his throat, and he nearly spurted blood.

Bruh, when the hell did you get in there?

Why didn’t you call for me?

Did you not see how I was striking the light barrier with all my might?

Are you making fun of me?

It’s as if I was searching the entire house for my keys, but it turned out that they were with you all along…

Ao Feng quickly circled around the light barrier and found the tear that the young man entered through. Without any hesitation, he charged right through the tear, and… he got stuck!

After struggling for a long time, he finally transmogrified back to his human form before entering.

“Condensed Earth Essence, it’s finally within my grasp…”

Paying no heed to the young man who was still standing motionless, Ao Feng rushed straight for the Condensed Earth Essence and grabbed it.

Tzzz!

Feeling the incredible energy pulsating within the milky-white sphere, Ao Feng trembled in agitation. He was just about to find a container to store it when he suddenly noticed something and frowned.

This is weird…

Why does it seem like the Condensed Earth Essence has shrunk quite a bit?

When I saw it earlier, it was still the size of a grown man’s fist. So, why does it look like a mere ping pong ball now?

While Ao Feng was still trying to figure out the mystery of the missing essence, the Condensed Earth Essence in his hand continued to shrink, becoming the size of a grape before further miniaturizing to the size of a bean…

Ao Feng grasped at his hair as he felt like something within him was going to explode.

If I give this little bean to the Cloud Dragon Monarch, the latter will surely think that I’m mocking him!

The heck…
