Divine Brilliance

Those demon fire crystal ants still had their consciousness. However, at this moment it was like they seemed to know what Zong Shou was doing was to help them strengthen their future generation—they didn’t resist at all.

It caused Zong Shou to be much more relaxed when he used the heaven swallowing energy conversion technique. He could spend some of his focus to purify all the soul power and essence energy before injecting it into the egg. He was afraid that if the speed was too quick and he would affect the structure within.

As time went on, the color of the golden egg got brighter and brighter. It was originally spotted golden light which was uneven, at this moment it had spread all about to every corner of the shell.

The entire process took up 12 hours. It wasn’t until all the beast crystals in the 4 corners couldn’t take it anymore and all broke into pieces that all the essence energy and vital energy was depleted. Within 10 miles all that was left were the empty shells of the demon fire crystal ants.

As for the ant egg in Zong Shou’s hand, it had become black.

“Ruler, just now…”

Zong Yuan’s face was filled with astonishment. Before this, he didn’t dare to interrupt to distract Zong Shou, at this moment however he couldn’t suppress the shock and curiosity.

“It is just a cultivation technique to swallow up everything in heaven and earth and convert it into energy.”

Casually explaining, Zong Shou looked towards the ant egg in his hands. Today, his understanding of the heaven swallowing energy conversion technique was much deeper than before.

Since it wasn’t a true demonic path cultivation method, it made it easier to explain.

He reached his senses in, roughly observing and he could feel that the grade of the ant egg had increased.

120 thousand crystal ants along with all the essential energy and soul power of the ant queen were all gathered within, constricting into a ball, boundless and vast.

It caused this ant queen egg to seem to have an unlimited amount of potential.

“Grade 6.5..”

He roughly deduced the estimated grade that this ant queen would be after it hatched. Following which Zong Shou remembered the combined branch Lingzi that Ant Zhenren had in his small heaven and earth bag.

This item was extremely rare and precious. It allowed any beast, using a life sharing technique, to become a natural protector just like his lightning winged flood dragon.

Following which Zong Shou’s mind started to think rapidly.

“Zong Yuan, do you remember that hundred thousand blood killer Li Yaling?”

“Li Yaling? I remember! Although I have never fought that person, I saw him before. If he didn’t die in the ruler’s hand, his future would probably be several times better than Long Ruo. His killing path sword technique, killing his mother and his wife, he had evolved it to the pinnacle…”

“Then you do know that this person had recruited a protector beast? At that moment it was grade 3?”

Zong Yuan’s expression turned to surprise, using a pure martial cultivator body to recruit a protector beast, how was that possible?

Zong Shou smiled, coincidentally he knew the secrets of how Li Yaling recruited a protector beast. Taking it out from the items he had left, however, he didn’t pay much attention to it, his subjects also didn’t need such an item.

However, at this moment he changed his mind. It was simply a waste not to use this combined branch Lingzi.

Following which his tone changed, filled with a tempting tone,” Zong Yuan do you want a natural protector beast?”

Zong Yuan’s brows rose up, following which his eyes fell back on Zong Yuan’s hands. Following which he decisively shook his head, “If it is the eggs of the demon fire crystal ant queen, then forget it!”

Thinking back to just now at the disgusting situation on Ant Zhenren’s body, Zong Yuan wouldn’t be willing even if you beat him to death. If Zong Shou insisted, he wouldn’t reject, only his heart won’t be as loyal as before.

“Don’t worry! It is not this item.”

Zong Shou couldn’t stop himself from laughing, keeping the ant queen egg. He wouldn’t do unto others what he didn’t want others to do unto him.

“It is a grade 8 soul beast and it is a fit with your body’s nature. It is suitable for your spear technique and could even raise its strengths by several times. It is also not a simple life-sharing technique…”

Thinking to himself that the moment his man and soul combined, even he had to avoid. In this cloud world, there would only be a handful of young people who could defeat this fellow. On the battlefield, he would also be able to sweep across everything.

However thinking about those 2 items, Zong Shou felt extremely heart pained.

Turning around his head, seeing that Zong Yuan still didn’t fully believe him, his face obviously with a suspecting gaze, Zong Shou was furious.

“Forget it, it’s too early to talk about this. To recruit a grade 8 protector beast, you must at least be grade 7 cultivation. Let’s talk about this after you reach the ascended realm. However, during these days you should cultivate some soul power, to use this technique you must at least be at the Out of Body realm…”

Zong Yuan acknowledged, thinking that this could become problematic.

The ascended realm was simple. Since he started cultivating the insight mysterious lightning body training art and ate the spirit salamander blood, he felt that his foundations which were shaky due to the quick progress were solidifying swiftly, his body was also strengthening. The amount of lightning energy he absorbed was also becoming more and more.

This time, within the dragon gate, his cultivation on the spear intent had not only improved greatly, but he also obtained the favor of Dragon Shadow old man and obtained many benefits.

He could feel that at most in 2 years he would be able to enter the ascended realm.

However, cultivating spiritual cultivation was the difficult part. His body of true qi, especially after training in the maniac lightning spear it was extreme yang in nature, naturally conflicting with the soul power.

If he had no techniques or help, the out of body realm was pretty much something that could only be achieved in the long term.

Only, since he took revenge and fulfilled his wishes, his heart wasn’t willing to go against Zong Shou’s orders. Even if the orders was illogical or preposterous, he would still achieve it.

On the side of Zong Shou, he didn’t notice the changes in Zong Yuan’s gaze. He thought seriously about it and decided that it was best to destroy the corpses to not leave any traces.

The death of Ant Zhenren would shock the cloud world and it would be more shocking than when Long Ruo’s body was smashed by him.

The ant queen egg was also something that people craved.

Ten talismans shot out. Within the ten-mile land, flames burnt out of thin air, not extinguishing for a long time. In just 8 minutes a large part of the crystal ants along with the body of Ant Zhenren was burnt up.

However there was still a portion after a full 2 hours were still not moving, there were no signs of it melting.

Zong Shou decided to sweep out with his spells, picking them all up. The moment they entered his hands he knew that these pieces of the shell were the most essential portion of the demon fire crystal ant. The strength of the material was something that even grade 7 spiritual weapons wouldn’t be able to touch.

Without hesitation, Zong Shou sent them all into his small heaven and earth bag. Following which, he looked curiously towards the small hill towards the soft.

Before this, there were 2 little rats and now there seemed to only be one. The one that left seemed to be the weakest one and the one left didn’t give out any energy signs anymore.

He originally didn’t want to care but now the situation seemed a little weird.

He flew up in the air, Zong Shou drove the sword and swiftly flew, in just a hundred breaths he arrived in the sky above that area.

Only to see that it was a small spiritual formation which was extremely exquisite, able to block off all energy and cover one’s aura.

However, as there was no one managing the formation there were signs of weaknesses.

Zong Shou only sensed that someone was spying over on this side when the ant swarm was poisoned and Ant Zhenren was beheaded.

After landing Zong Shou noticed a teen whose face was purple who was lying on the ground.

He had lost all signs of life and wasn’t breathing at all. His 4 limbs were already showing signs of decomposing.

That was the poison of the hundred-mile quiet scent which was decomposing his body.

Looking at his face, it seemed a little familiar. Zong Shou thought about it for long and remembered that this was the person who stood beside Xiong Yu a few days ago.

That neck slashing action as well as the underestimating intent in his gaze was something that worried him in his memory.

Zong Shou frowned and waved his sleeves. There was a wind that swept up as he grabbed all of this person’s items in his hand. Inside it was a small heaven and earth bag which was a top-grade product with 2 thousand feet of space. After Zong Shou saw that his expression fluctuated, suddenly dark but suddenly clear.

“…He should be from the Lie Ling Li family! His status shouldn’t be low…”

Zong Yuan coincidentally caught up behind him and after he heard that, he frowned right away, startled as he looked at the corpse.

Thinking not only was this person’s identity low? This person’s martial cultivation had reached the ascended realm. In terms of spiritual cultivation, he wasn’t ordinary, the peak of the Return to Sun realm.

In any sect or family, he would be the most core disciple. However, at this moment, all that was left was a cold corpse.

Zong Shou stood stunned for a long while before he sighed. This was too legendary, he was careless and killed a grade 7 expert with poison.

“Zong Yuan, how is there such a stupid person in this world? The hundred-mile quiet scent is indeed a good poison but it still gave one time to react. How can poison curing pills be randomly used? Furthermore, if he ran over to ask for help from me when he was poisoned, would I sit there and not bother about him?”

Zong Yuan was speechless as he walked up. Carefully looking at the corpse and he knew exactly how that person died.

Being poisoned deeply was one of the reasons. In a panic, he used too many poison curing pills causing the poison to mutate and become more intense.

In conclusion, this guy died a special death and he was really unfortunate.

Zong Shou thought back to the other rat that escaped if it wasn’t surprising then that person would be that woman.

“Do you think that Xiong Yu would complain to the Li family after she returns? To add oil to the fire?”

Zong Yuan sighed, following which he shook his head,” She might now. She is linked to the death of this person. If news of his death spreads out from Dragon Gathering Mountain, the first person the Lie Ling Li family won’t forgive would be Blazing Flame Mountain.”

However, there wasn’t any relaxed look on Zong Shou’s face. He knew that he had indeed brought a lot of trouble on himself. Although it could be said that this Li family was one he had to face sooner or later.

Who knows why but at this moment when he thought about the people of the Li family, that they were one of the reasons that Zong Weiran was forced into the cloud ocean, the rage in his chest rose up. He wanted to quickly wipe out that entire family.

…After that Zong Shou disappeared, the remaining father and son relationship shouldn’t be so strong to such an extent.

However, to deal with the Li family, his little strength was far from enough. Some things had to be brought forward.

For example the amount of the blood cloud armored cavalry-dragon horn winged horse.
