The inner space of the Time Crystal Stone was floating with strands of vast aura.
The Space-Time Crystal Stone, itself, was a source of aura, releasing aura all the time.
Zhang Ruochen sat on his knees and cupped the Spiritual Flower Petal in his hands, the Spiritual Flame True Qi in his body surged out and rushed towards the Spiritual Flower Petal and began to refine it.
Under the refining of the Spirit Flame True Qi, in about a breath’s time, the Spirit Bird Petal slightly melted a little, dripping down a drop of crystal clear spiritual liquid, emitting a rich and exotic fragrance, flowing into Zhang Ruochen’s palm.
With a “giggling” sound, Zhang Ruochen inhaled the drop of spiritual liquid into his meridians, merging it with the true qi in his body.
The Spiritual Liquid entered the meridians and was immediately transformed into a powerful, fiery medicinal power that flowed to all parts of the body, muscles, meridians, blood, internal organs, Heavenly Charge, and finally converged to the Qi Sea in the centre of the eyebrows.
With every drop of the Spiritual Liquid absorbed, Zhang Ruochen’s Martial Cultivation would increase by one point.
As it continued to melt, the size of that one petal of the Nirvana Fire Spiritual Sorcerer became smaller and smaller.
“Wow…”
About half an hour passed, and a large amount of Spirit Flame surged out from Zhang Ruochen’s body, forming a fireball with a diameter of five metres, wrapping him in the centre.
The power in Zhang Ruochen’s body became stronger and stronger, like a balloon being stretched to its limit. The meridians in his body could no longer hold that powerful force, and that was why it surged out of his body.
At the same time, it also proved that Zhang Ruochen was about to break through the shackles and reach a new realm.
“Boom!”
A flame imprint surfaced in the centre of Zhang Ruochen’s brow, and the Qi Sea in his cranium let out a popping sound.
The aura in the entire inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone shook slightly.
The Qi Sea expanded rapidly, and the meridians of his entire body expanded rapidly, and a moment later, Zhang Ruochen finally broke through the realm, reaching the Earth Extremity Realm Grand Circle in one fell swoop.
Breakthrough!
The Qi Sea’s capacity increased and became thirsty as it began to crazily absorb the surrounding energy.
The Spirit Flame that was originally wrapped around Zhang Ruochen’s body surged up to his brow like a tidal wave, and through the Divine Martial Seal, it entered the enlarged Qi Sea.
Before Zhang Ruochen broke through the realm, he had absorbed one third of a Spiritual Orange petal.
After the realm breakthrough, the speed of Zhang Ruochen’s refining and absorption became even faster.
After another roughly half an hour had passed, Zhang Ruochen had completely absorbed a piece of Spiritual Sorrento petal, and the true qi in his body had become incomparably thick, with the true qi in his qi sea occupying almost 40% of the qi sea’s capacity.
The surface of Zhang Ruochen’s skin radiated a strange lustre.
“Finally breaking through to the Earth Extreme Realm Grand Circle Realm, I wonder how much my strength has increased now?”
Zhang Ruochen raised his arm and gently pushed out a palm, powerful true qi that condensed in front of his palm in a huge true qi handprint that was two metres long.
With this handprint alone, it should be able to seriously injure experts of Guo XIII and Cao Lin’s level.
Zhang Ruochen did not strike the handprint out, and operated his gong method to retract the true qi in the palm print, back into his body.
“If I refine one more Spiritual Paeonia petal, I should be able to cultivate the True Qi in my Qi Sea to perfection, reaching the peak of the Earth Extremity Realm Grand Circle. At that time, my strength, will be able to rise another notch.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t bother refining the second Spiritual Orange Flower Petal for the time being, because, he sensed that the battle outside was nearing its end.
As expected, the Silver Light Shark was stronger, better, and had severely injured that one giant Octopus Savage Beast, capturing the Spirit Orange Petal.
Although the octopus savage beast was traumatised, it was strong and not much weaker than the Silver Light Shark, and as it fled, it rolled away five Spiritual Sorrento petals.
The silver light shark seized the remaining four spirit flower petals and spirit flower seeds, and once again let out a long whistle from its mouth, as if it was declaring its dominant position in this piece of water and demonstrating its powerful strength.
The savage beasts in the waters, when they heard the whistling of the Silver Light Shark, all of them trembled in fear and did not dare to hit the Neflame Spirit Oddball’s idea again, immediately fleeing in the opposite direction.
The entire waters, completely quiet.
The Silver Light Shark swam under the water and swallowed the Spiritual Paozi and the four Spiritual Paozi petals into its stomach, preparing to borrow the medicinal power of the Nirvana Fire Spiritual Paozi to purify itself to the level of a fifth-ranked savage beast.
The Silver Light Shark, right now, was a fourth-rank upper class savage beast, comparable to the strength of a Heavenly Extremity Realm Great Perfection martial artist.
With the medicinal power of the Nirvana Fire Spirit Oddball, it was completely capable of enhancing its physique, and even had a high chance of undergoing a transformation.
Once it became a fifth rank savage beast, it would mean something completely different to it.
In the future, it would be a top tier overlord in the Death River section, ruling over waters that would be even more expansive.
Seeing that it was about to achieve a great success, the Silver Light Shark was naturally excited.
But ……
He had just swallowed the Spirit Birdseed and five Spirit Birdseed petals and was about to refine them, but he found that the Spirit Birdseed and five Spirit Birdseed petals had disappeared!
Disappeared without a trace.
Where did they go?
The Silver Light Shark was instantly anxious, seeing that it was about to become a Fifth Order Savage Beast, how could such a sudden change occur?
The treasures that were swallowed into his mouth could also disappear into thin air.
After Zhang Ruochen collected the Spiritual Paozi and the four Spiritual Paozi petals into the Space Crystal Stone, he immediately put on the Flying Fish Armour and rushed out of the Space Crystal Stone into the Silver Light Shark’s belly.
The Silver Light Shark’s body possessed an extremely powerful corrosive liquid, if Zhang Ruochen didn’t wear the Flying Fish Armour, his body would definitely be corroded.
“Silver Light Shark, it’s time to end it!”
Zhang Ruochen, his entire body covered in armour, drew out his Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and swung it out, severing a major artery within the Silver Light Shark’s body.
Subsequently, Zhang Ruochen continued to strike, chopping at several other vital points within the Silver Light Shark’s body.
The Silver Light Shark felt the severe pain coming from its abdomen and also felt Zhang Ruochen’s breath.
When had a human been swallowed into its belly?
The Silver Light Shark didn’t have time to think about it, and with immense annoyance in its heart, it immediately released its Beast Soul.
A piercing light blossomed within its cranium, and a hideous and overbearing soul shadow flew out, exuding a desolate beast aura.
“Swish!”
The beast soul, rushing into its belly, attacked Zhang Ruochen.
The beast souls of savage beasts, and the martial souls of martial artists, were all of the same nature.
Only the top four-stage savage beasts could cultivate their martial souls and reach the realm of “Martial Soul Out of Body”.
The beast soul of the Silver Light Shark erupted with an incomparable power, revealing its ferocious teeth as it rushed towards Zhang Ruochen, wanting to bite Zhang Ruochen to pieces.
“You have a beast soul, I also have a martial soul.”
Zhang Ruochen immediately communicated his Soul Vein, and at the top of his head, a white pillar of light rushed out.
A silhouette that looked exactly like Zhang Ruochen flew out from his body and headed towards the Silver Light Shark’s Beast Soul, meeting it head on.
“Rumble!”
The beast soul and martial soul collided with each other, forming a powerful wave of energy.
In his previous life, although Zhang Ruochen was only at the Great Circle of the Heavenly Extremity Realm, however, at that time, he was the number one in The Heavenly Ranking, and his own strength was more powerful than some of the weaker Fish Dragon Realm martial artists.
His martial soul was definitely much more powerful than a Heavenly Extremity Realm Great Perfection martial artist, and even compared to a Fish Dragon Realm martial artist, it was not much weaker.
Now, the strength of his martial soul, naturally, had improved again, and was already completely comparable to the martial souls of Fish Dragon Realm martial artists.
It was only that his cultivation had not yet reached the Heavenly Extreme Realm, and he could only use his soul vein to communicate with his martial soul, so the power exerted by his martial soul was not powerful enough.
After breaking through to the Earth Extremity Realm Grand Completion Realm, Zhang Ruochen could mobilise more power from his martial soul, and could completely compete with the Silver Light Shark’s beast soul.
“Although the Silver Light Shark is a fourth rank upper class savage beast, but after all, it was injured when it fought that one giant octopus. Just now, it was also injured even more after I chopped off multiple vital points. Even if its beast soul is comparable to that of a Heavenly Extremity Realm Grand Circle martial artist, the power it can exert is still very limited.”
Both beast souls and martial souls could mobilise heaven and earth aura and transform it into power of their own.
The more powerful the soul, the more heaven and earth aura it mobilises, the more power it explodes out, and the stronger it is.
Zhang Ruochen’s greatest advantage was not that his martial soul was stronger than the Silverlight Shark’s beast soul, but that he was now inside the Silverlight Shark’s stomach, and no matter how heavenly the fight between the beast soul and the martial soul went, the one who was ultimately unlucky would be the Silverlight Shark.
The silver light shark originally thought that by releasing the beast soul, it would be able to easily finish off the human in its belly, but it didn’t think that the human had cultivated a martial soul.
Its beast soul could not help the other party at all.
At this moment, the beast soul and the martial soul frantically fought, injuring the silver light shark’s internal organs even more severely, and the pain coming from its belly became even more intense.
Its mouth was spitting out blood and it kept wailing.
“Thunder and Lightning Golem.”
The aura in the waters converged towards Zhang Ruochen’s Martial Spirit, transforming into a ray of electricity.
The electric light twisted and tangled together, forming a wargo that stabbed at the soul shadow of that one beast soul.
It looked like the beast soul of the Silver Light Shark was about to be pierced by the lightning wargo ……
Suddenly, that Silver Light Shark took the initiative to beg for mercy, communicating with Zhang Ruochen through its beast soul, saying, “Strong Human, I’m willing to submit to you and be your battle beast mount, please spare my life.”
The Thunderbolt Battle Golem, suspended above the head of the Silverlight Shark’s beast soul, emitted a bright light, sharp and chilling, scaring the Silverlight Shark into begging for mercy.
Zhang Ruochen’s martial soul, although it did not exert much strength, was a powerful deterrent.
It was because he felt the powerful aura of Zhang Ruochen’s Martial Spirit that the Silver Light Shark was willing to submit of its own accord.
In the Silver Light Shark’s opinion, with such a powerful martial soul, Zhang Ruochen should be a human martial artist of the Fish Dragon Realm, and submitting to him was not something to be ashamed of.
Whether it was a human, or a savage beast, all of them were honoured by the strongest.
If the Silver Light Shark knew that Zhang Ruochen was only at the cultivation level of the Earth Extreme Realm Great Circle, then it would never choose to submit even if it knew that it would die in Zhang Ruochen’s hands. Because, it was the overlord in the waters, how could it submit to a human who was even weaker than it?
Zhang Ruochen said, “Why should I trust you, what if you suddenly backtrack and bite me back?”
The Silver Light Shark was afraid of angering this human powerhouse and hurriedly said, “I am willing to offer my beast soul, as long as it is in your hands, even if I want to rebel, you can just crush my beast soul.”
The Silver Light Shark’s intelligence was very high, and it knew very well that if it wanted to live, it had to make the biggest concessions.
