Chapter 2156: Chapter 2157: Turning Point! Four Updates
Ye Qiu woke up, he didn’t know how much time had passed, only could feel that he was very weak, so weak that it was hard to continue activating the Taihuang Bell.
Everything around was pitch black, nothing could be seen, as if he had arrived in an endless dark world.
Ye Qiu withdrew his gaze and first checked his own condition.
When he saw that his soul power was only the size of a fingernail, Ye Qiu couldn’t even force a bitter smile.
With so little soul power, any martial artist with some strength could kill him.
Ye Qiu’s strength had reached an all-time low.
Not to mention his flesh was gone, even his soul power had become so feeble.
But Ye Qiu was not angry because of this; instead, he felt a bit grateful that he was still alive.
Knowing that he was faced with the attack of a powerful being at the Heavenly Realm level, a strength level far above him.
Supreme Saints and Heavenly Realms, though only one realm apart, have a world of difference in strength, Ye Qiu knew this very well, so he was grateful his soul power still existed even just a bit.
If his soul had been erased like his flesh, he would have been long gone.
As long as he’s alive there’s hope.
Ye Qiu did not give up, thanks to the Taihuang Bell, had it not been for the Taihuang Bell, he might not have survived even if he hid.
Ye Qiu recalled the scene before he lost consciousness.
"Who suddenly appeared and interrupted that force? Anyway, it’s fortunate that this person showed up, otherwise, even if I survived by luck, I wouldn’t have escaped." Ye Qiu murmured to himself.
He was very thankful, extremely lucky that under such circumstances, there still appeared a Heavenly Realm level powerhouse, giving him a chance for survival.
Shaking his head, Ye Qiu stopped thinking about it, now regaining strength was crucial, as for everything else, it could wait until recovery.
At the moment, it’s better to consolidate the soul power a bit.
However, trying to recover soul power here isn’t easy; you need to absorb nature’s spiritual energy to nourish the soul, spending half a day, only collected a hair-thin spiritual energy, and it was very short, just about an inch, this isn’t a joke, at this rate, it would take ages to recover.
After sulking for quite a while, Ye Qiu could only continue to slowly absorb spiritual energy; he had no choice. At least absorbing spiritual energy could slightly enhance, if not, enhancing was impossible.
Better honestly absorb spiritual energy.
Helplessly, Ye Qiu’s weak soul body, sat down cross-legged, after all, with the Taihuang Bell, he didn’t worry about safety, started sitting there collecting spiritual energy.
Time passed bit by bit, Ye Qiu tirelessly gathered spiritual energy, then watched the pitiful spiritual energy enter his soul body.
There’s no concept of time here, it’s very quiet, not even a breeze, indeed a pin-drop silent environment.
Just when Ye Qiu was collecting spiritual energy, feeling unusually dull, he suddenly felt the ground shake, as if something had fallen.
The sand transformed from the Taihuang Bell slightly shifted due to the vibration.
His cultivation was interrupted, curious Ye Qiu peeked through the Taihuang Bell, preparing to see what it was.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu snorted in his heart, thought it was something, turned out it’s an Abyssal Demon that crashed.
Originally, Ye Qiu didn’t think anything good could drop here, after all, this is the deep abyss, at most a pebble would fall, he merely glanced casually.
"It didn’t die from the fall, the life force of Abyssal Demons truly isn’t ordinary durability." Ye Qiu sighed, his gaze fell on the Abyssal Demon, if it had died, it would’ve immediately turned into a puddle, but this Abyssal Demon, clearly still had breath, struggling a few times, then motionless, should be in near-death state.
Its life aura also gradually diminished.
"What a pity my flesh was shattered by that old geezer, otherwise, I wouldn’t have to recover here slowly." Ye Qiu complained, his Supreme Saint flesh wouldn’t even break if crashed onto a star, but regrettably his opponent was at the Heavenly Realm.
No matter how strong the flesh, it can’t remain intact against a warrior one realm above.
Mourning his flesh a bit, Ye Qiu felt dejected, the current strength, forget re-condensing a new flesh, even activating the Taihuang Bell was difficult.
Mainly because his opponent was too strong, consumed all usable strength, making himself this weak.
Initially, he fought with Taiyi Saint Heir, Stone Demon Lord, and the Traveler, after paying certain costs, forced the Traveler away, engaged with the remaining two, continually used multiple trump cards, causing strength to drain continuously, later, he almost wore out Taiyi Saint Heir, ended with Hong Yuan Holy Son bringing Heavenly Realm powerhouse over, leading his slightly recovered situation into the abyss instantly.
Being targeted by Heavenly Realm powerhouse, naturally no benefits could be gained, especially with his strength almost drained, even in peak state, wouldn’t be their opponent.
"An ordinary Abyssal Demon is useless to me, I’m not an Abyssal Demon, even if I ate it wouldn’t increase my strength..." Ye Qiu was muttering to himself, suddenly he stopped.
Wait...
Ye Qiu suddenly thought of a possibility, immediately his soul body hopped, how could this Abyssal Demon be useless.
Useful, very useful indeed, and hugely so!
The more Ye Qiu thought, the more feasible it seemed, mainly, he wouldn’t need to slowly absorb spiritual energy here anymore.
His idea was simple, as long as he occupied this Abyssal Demon’s body, wouldn’t he succeed, he could totally move using the Abyssal Demon’s body.
He previously used a strong warrior’s corpse, to fight enemies.
Only now the warrior’s corpse switched from humans to Abyssal Demon.
However, his current soul power wasn’t enough for soul division into corpse technique, soul power too little to divide further would lead to demise, after much consideration, Ye Qiu finally gritted his teeth, decided to take a gamble.
He wanted to enter the Abyssal Demon’s body using his current soul body.
No matter if it succeeds or fails, he had to try.
Once successful, he could leave here!
Steeled his expression, Ye Qiu’s soul body prepared to jump out of the Taihuang Bell, suddenly, his soul body flickered, the next instant, it emerged from the Taihuang Bell.
A burst of extreme cold hit, Ye Qiu felt his soul was about to freeze.
So cold.
Ye Qiu didn’t dare linger, feared his soul would freeze out, instantly drilled into the Abyssal Demon’s head.
Only to see the originally motionless Abyssal Demon start shaking continuously, for quite some time before it calmed down.
The Abyssal Demon remained motionless!
A breath passed.
Five breaths passed.
Ten breaths passed.
Suddenly, the Abyssal Demon sat up instantly; its eyes widened.
Looking around, then touched itself, the Abyssal Demon suddenly spoke human words, it was Ye Qiu’s voice: "I succeeded."
At this moment, Ye Qiu turned into an ordinary Abyssal Demon!
