C847 Unforeseen
Sikong Banyu no longer had time to think about what caused the spirit energy to fluctuate, and why it came from the body of the Nine-infant that was as big as a mountain. He only wanted to hurry up and finish the final part of his training. Because no matter what it was, it was not a good thing. Besides the Nine-infant, there were countless controlled corpses waiting for him.2
"Quick... "I'm getting faster …" Perhaps it was because he was in a dangerous situation where his potential would burst forth, something that even he did not know about. Or perhaps it was because his soul belonged to the body of a half-step into the Essence Realm, and even though it was only a tiny bit, it was not something that ordinary Intuition Realm cultivators could compare with.
Such a dangerous process was completed at the same time. It was not excessive to say that he had three uses for his heart, or four uses for his heart, but Sikong Banyu did not stop; instead, he increased his speed as if he was breaking through his limits. However, he also knew in his heart that if he was the slightest bit careless while tempering his skull and bones, he would be courting death. But now, he could only go all out.
While Sikong Banyu was doing his best to complete the last portion of the Bone Refining, the disappeared Spiritual Qi fluctuation appeared again. But this time, it did not appear as it did before, and it only lasted for a moment, but this time, it came endlessly, wave after wave, like something in a Nine-infant's body was approaching Sikong Banyu's location. It made Sikong Banyu even more anxious.
Suddenly … The sound of something breaking out of the body appeared beside Sikong Banyu's ear. He saw a grey light rush out from the body of a Nine-infant that had broken through a bloody hole, and land on the back of the Nine-infant. That was … A monster, a monster with the head of a humanoid monster. The body of this monster was similar to that of a savage. However, two strange things stuck out from the head of his neck like a snake, but they were not the appearance of a snake's head. Those two heads were squirming, and the fat flesh was as thick as a worm, so their mouths could not be seen.
The moment this thing appeared, all the corpses surrounding the Nine-infant began to prostrate themselves on the ground, trembling. It was as if they were rats who had seen a cat.
Almost at the same time this monster appeared, from the position of the Nine-infant's head, a streak of green light shot out from the Nine-infant's body. It transformed into a green-clothed old man, and landed on the body of the Nine-infant that was a few meters away from the insect headed humanoid monster.
This person was dressed like an ancient man. He had the demeanor of a saint, three long whiskers that extended across his chest, and his eyes were indifferent. His handsome face gave off an enigmatic feeling, but also gave off a feeling of ethereal elegance.
"I've already said it before, this is not a voluntary act on my part, but a coincidence. The Nine-infant's remnant soul has already become one with me, if you want to take away the Nine-infant's corpse, I do not object, but if you want me to hand it over, that is just wishful thinking." The monster let out a voice as soft as a baby's, but it was filled with anger. It made people feel that it was very strange.
The cyan clothed old man indifferently looked at the insect monster and said, "The Nine-infant died in battle for my clan. They are my clan's heroic spirits. "Insect King, since you are able to hide here and even have intelligence, you should treasure your chance by becoming one of the monsters. Otherwise, I don't mind letting you return this opportunity to the heavens."
"Insect King …" Sikong Banyu could feel that he had already known about the two of them, because even though the Nine-infant's body was very big, he could tell at a glance, not to mention, there were two of them who were not weak at all. His own figure must have already been discovered by these two. Sikong Banyu had speculated that the monster in the insect's form was a King's Worm, but what he didn't expect was that the King's Worm seemed to have obtained a great opportunity that allowed it to take a step forward and reach its true form.
What kind of strength does a King's Worm have? Sikong Banyu was completely unable to guess. And this old man in green clothes, who came from who knows where, made Sikong Banyu even more anxious. Because this person was even more terrifying, his aura was restrained to the point that he couldn't feel a single strand of it. Those were all existences at least in the late stage of the Spirit Stage, here … Such a person actually existed?
He could not move, because the Bone Refining was at the final moment. It was impossible for this opportunity to occur a second time. He didn't dare to move either because with Sikong Banyu's current strength, whether it was this mutated bug or this mysterious old man, neither of them were people he could deal with. Only … Wait.
As for Wang Worm and the old man in green, they acted as if they didn't see Sikong Banyu at all. They only had each other in their eyes. Perhaps in their eyes, Sikong Banyu, this little rascal, was not up to standard at all! This was what Sikong Banyu was happy to see.
"I hope the difference between Insect King's strength and the old man's is not too big. That way, I still have more time." Sikong Banyu thought to himself, the absorption, conversion and refining speed have reached the extreme, this is a race against time.
"Huh? Haha … Ji Meng, do you think that this is still an ancient era, the era when demons established the Heavenly Court? Are you still the demon clan expert that stands above everyone else? "Hmph …" And today you are more than just a strand of lingering consciousness. The remnant soul of the Nine-infant has completely fused with me, if you want me to hand it over, that would be equivalent to asking me to commit suicide. "
"However, your insignificant consciousness is far from enough. Previously, I didn't want to make a move on you because I didn't want to have anything to do with you orthodox demi-humans. But now that you're so stubborn and unfathomable, don't blame me. "
Insect King raised his hand and formed a fist. His eyes, which were almost covered by the creases in his skin, suddenly opened and flashed with a white light. At the same time, his entire body turned into an afterimage as he rushed to Ji Meng's side and threw out a punch.
"Heh …" Insect King, do you think this small environment will make me care? Back then, under the generous bestowment of the Celestial Emperor, this old man was able to gain a glimpse of the mysteries of the Heaven Revolving Star Arena. The Heaven Revolving Star Arena is all-encompassing, and with your insignificant innate ability, you are practically competing against the bright moon in terms of illusory abilities. "
