Returning from the Immortal World - Chapter 1060

Chapter 1060

‘Absorb!’

Tang Xiu attempted to ingest the special energy gas . To his surprise, that particular gas was very easy to absorb . It was a hundred times easier than absorbing the energy of other dead stars . This special energy gas was like a flood that passed across the universe to quickly pierce the Earth’s atmosphere and finally entered his body .

Bang…

Tang Xiu’s body trembled . An enormous aura surged and spread in all directions, shocking everyone else in the encampment area . A look of fear was evident on the faces of cultivators and army soldiers as the huge aura suppressed every one of them, causing them to run away .

In just a minute, there was nobody left in a 2km radius . Everyone was 2km away and focused their eyes on Tang Xiu’s direction .

“Who is it?” asked Duanmu Lin aloud with a shocked face .

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several figures quickly appeared in front of him . The one in front, Mo Awu, said in a deep voice, “Director Duanmu, we’ve looked into it . Our Sect Master hasn’t come out, so if my guess is correct, this huge aura should be caused by our Sovereign . ”

“Tang Xiu?” Duanmu Lin gasped before slowly nodding . “I should’ve known . Only Tang Xiu can cause such a big ruckus . Anyway, what’s he doing? Why did he leak out such an enormous aura?”

“I have no idea, either . ” Mo Awu shook his head and said, “But everything the Sovereign does has always been beyond anyone’s imagination . Director Duanmu, given the increasingly stronger aura leaking out from our Sect Master, this means that his condition is excellent . However, you need to rearrange everything here because I don’t know when Sect Master will finish and when this aura will disappear . ”

“No worries! I’ll arrange it . ” Duanmu Lin heavily nodded and said, “It’s definitely a good thing if Tang Xiu can make a breakthrough . ”

Not far away from them, Hun Sen and Jiang Shuisheng both looked shocked as they talked—

“I’ve observed things here . Except for Tang Xiu, nobody else has come out of the camp . It seems that the person who released such a fearsome aura is none but him . ”

“I noticed that, too . That Tang Xiu… to what extent does his strength has reached? Although I haven’t met any expert at the Nascent Soul Stage, I think there are no powerhouses at Nascent Soul Stage who can release such a fearsome aura, right?”

“It should be! But the more powerful he is, the less dangerous the crisis we’re about to face . I’m even hoping that he can get stronger soon . ”

“Yeah, you’re right . ”

The two men looked in the direction of the camp . It was a look full of respect . The strong would indeed always be respected regardless of era and environment .

Time fleeted by .

Tang Xiu was unaware of the situation he just created due to him absorbing the energy from a living planet . But due to him constantly absorbing the energy of the stars in the starry sky, a star in the universe formed inside his body gradually became brighter and now looked like living fireflies .

A particularly bigger planet that kept growing was especially expanding at an extremely fast rate after being infused with the astral power . He even noticed its size increase at every minute and second .

Half an hour later .

Deep in the interior of the Himalayas, a demonic beast the size of a two-story building silently appeared near the blockade line . In that instant, the faces of hundreds of cultivators defending there drastically changed . The terrifying demonic beast, however, just stopped there and cast a solemn look toward Ugley Town .

It could also sense a fearsome aura increasing . This particular aura was even much stronger than the aura released by its leader .

‘Doesn’t matter . Nothing can stop the march of the Bloodfiend Monarch . He’ll soon wake up and doom this planet . That damned Skypillar Sacred Demon . If it wasn’t for your relentless pursuit, my King wouldn’t have been that desperate to escape, fall into the space crevice and be exiled to this wretched place . ’

‘We’ve long been trapped here . Far too long . This wretched place is even worse than the Immortal World’s environment . For hundreds of thousands of years, this damn World Array is even making our life so hard and even weakening our power to the limit . ’

‘We’ll kill and exterminate all walks of life of this place to begin our path of return to reenter the Demon Realm . And you, Skypillar Sacred Demon, you will pay the price for offending my King!’

The terrifying demonic beast looked up to the sky and roared . It then fiercely stomped its feet, sending tremors to the world . All the cultivators at the defensive line, especially the weak ones, were shaken as the roar shook their life force . Blood flowed from their seven orifices as they were nearly killed by the shockwave .

The instant after, the terrifying demonic beast left, flying back to the depths of the Himalayas .

At Ugley Town .

Tang Xiu’s face, who was still in the military tent, suddenly changed slightly . As he opened his eyes, he fully disconnected his power to communicate with the stars in the universe . His figure flickered and disappeared from the tent . His hazy figure that was blurred to the naked eyes then appeared outside the blockade line, garnering the attention of the cultivators’ eyes at the ready .

‘What a fast speed!!!’

The faces of tens of cultivators there greatly changed . They were immediately shocked upon seeing that it was Tang Xiu . Although they had seen him and his men coming out from the interior of the mountain range, however, they didn’t know the great achievements Tang Xiu had performed .

Yet, after they sobered up, they also looked surprised and a bit joyful . That fearsome demonic beast just now brought them a deep threat of death, making them feel like their hearts fell into a glacier . Seeing how powerful Tang Xiu was just like giving them a tranquilizer agent that made them feel relieved .

Tang Xiu’s eyes were so bright and sharp . With hands crossed behind his back, he cast a deep gaze into the mountain range interior . Although he didn’t see that horrifying demonic beast’s form, the savage, violent aura it leaked out give him a shock regardless . He could sense that the strength of this demonic beast was at least at the late-stage of Nascent Soul .

Late-stage of Nascent Soul! Even if his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds after communicating with the heavenly bodies in the universe and absorbing a huge amount of astral power, he could tell that he wasn’t a match for this demonic beast .

‘Unless either Yan’er, Ji Chimei, or Star Devourer Insect to take action, I’m afraid that fearsome demonic beast can only be killed by the joint forces of Xue Yu and I . Xue Yu has obtained an inheritance that propelled her cultivation power to the Spirit Formation Stage, but I don’t know how much power she can unleash after undergoing Yan’er’s training . ’

Tang Xiu contemplated in silence for a while . Then, he took out his communicator to dial Xue Yu’s cell number . However, he furrowed his brows since he only received a notification that the number couldn’t be reached temporarily .

Then, Tang Xiu dialed Gu Xiaoxue’s number . After his call was connected, he spoke, “Hello, Xiaoxue?”

“It’s me, Grand Master,” replied Gu Xiaoxue with a respectful voice . “Do you need anything from me?”

“Where’s Xue Yu now?” asked Tang Xiu .

“She has been in closed-door cultivation with Master for a long time and hasn’t come out,” said Gu Xiaoxue . “She should still be in the exquisite pagoda, I think . ”

“Go there and ask how it’s going with her seclusion progress . ” Tang Xiu ordered . “If it’s okay, tell her to call me back . ”

“Understood!”

Tang Xiu hung up and put the phone away . He then turned his head to look at the cultivators who rushed over . Finally, his eyes landed on Duanmu Lin .

“Senior Duanmu . ” Tang Xiu greeted and nodded with a smile .

Duanmu Lin looked at him like he was looking at a monster . He even circled around Tang Xiu a few times under everyone’s watchful eyes before probing . “Tang Xiu, what exactly is your current cultivation level after the breakthrough? Did you just advance to the Nascent Soul Stage?”

Tang Xiu chuckled and said, “Didn’t I already tell you that I practice a different cultivation art from that of common cultivators? I told you I can’t even form a Nascent Soul and whatnot . But if I have to fight those at Nascent Soul Stage, I’m confident that I won’t be defeated . But what I’m talking about is those at the early-stage of Nascent Soul . I’m still no match to those at the late-stage, though . ”

He was covering up the truth! It was something he had decided because he needed all the remains of demonic beasts . Precisely… the Demon Cores in their bodies!

Upon hearing his reply, Duanmu Lin didn’t doubt Tang Xiu’s statement at all . He instead looked pleasantly surprised as he nodded heavily with praise . “I heard your disciples have innate gifts and unusual aptitude for cultivation, Tang Xiu . Now it seems that you have some unusual gifts and talent yourself since you can make such a big breakthrough in just a short time . Well, it’s not like I can take back my words, either . No worries! A promise is a promise . I’ve talked with the other cultivators, so you can have all the remains of demonic beasts . I’ve sent people to send the demonic beasts’ corpses to where your men are stationed . ”

Tang Xiu’s face shifted and he curiously asked, “Mind telling me how many of them are there?”

“Well, Aquababe already made the count . The total number is 645,” said Duanmu Lin smilingly . “But that’s outside the number of demonic beasts you and your men killed, of course . ”

‘645?’

Tang Xiu became excited inwardly . These demonic beasts were treasures to him . Like, literally . Be it the materials from their bodies or their Demon Cores, they were all greatly beneficial to him .

Duanmu Lin suddenly set his gaze on the mountain range and curiously asked, “All of us just sensed a huge, horrible aura coming from the interior of the mountain range . It was ‘that thing’, wasn’t it?”

“Yeah . It’s the super demonic beast . ” Tang Xiu’s expression turned solemn . “It’s very powerful, much stronger than all the demonic beasts we’ve encountered previously . ”

After hearing his confirmation, Duanmu Lin’s face turned extremely ugly . Then, he quickly asked, “How powerful is it, exactly? You said you can fight those at the early-stage of Nascent Soul, do you have the confidence to kill it?”

“No . It has power on par with experts at the late-stage of Nascent Soul . ” Tang Xiu shook his head and explained, “I think it can also match experts at the early-stage of Spirit Formation as well . I’m not its match with my current power, let alone kill it . But still, I don’t get something here . It has terrifying power, but why hasn’t it led all the demonic beasts to attack us?”
