The Monarch of the Nine States - C283
“There aren’t too many powerful auras nearby. It seems like I’m still at the periphery of the Returning Ruins.”
In the forest, Cang Yun heaved a long sigh of relief. After probing with his spirit power, he could not feel any strong spirit beast’s Qi.
“I wonder if Cang Yue and the others have returned.” When he thought about Cang Yue, Cang Yun was still a little worried, but he had no other choice. To find two people in this vast place, was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Right now, all he could do was worry about himself.
Cang Yun thought in his heart, but he was still a little hesitant whether he should return to the Holy City or continue his experiential learning in the Returning Ruins.
He had come to the Ruins to condense the Nihility God, but he had only reached the initial stage. He was far from his goal.
But if he did not return, the Human Ranking Ranking Tournament would begin. If he missed it, he would have to wait for another year.
On one hand, it was to increase his strength. On the other hand, it was to gain the attention of the Holy City.
After pondering for a while, Cang Yun finally made his decision.
“I think it’s better to first increase my strength. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to emerge from the competition even if I were to participate in the Human Ranking Ranking Tournament.”
After making up his mind, Cang Yun began to carefully search through the Returning Ruins.
Although he was roughly certain that he did not return to the Primordial Ruinworld, he was afraid of accidents in everything, so Cang Yun did not dare to be the least bit careless.
“Found him! Rank nine wild spirit!”
More than ten minutes later, Cang Yun’s expression became slightly cheerful. He had found a suitable wild spirit for killing, and at the same time, he was even more certain that he did not enter any deep into the dangerous area for it to return to the Ruins. This was because this kind of spirit beast did not have the qualifications to exist in the depths of the Returning Ruins.
Cang Yun’s eyes flashed with the light of eagerness. After going through the Dragon Tomb, his strength had improved a lot, and with the addition of the Desolate Force, he wanted to see how much he had improved.
This was the perfect opportunity!
Swish!
Without the slightest hesitation, Cang Yun instantly arrived in front of the ninth stage wild spirit. Although sneaking an attack would definitely end the battle easily, Cang Yun was more concerned with checking his own strength, especially testing the strength of the Desolate Force!
“Roar …!”
Seeing Cang Yun’s appearance, the wild spirit let out a low growl, but its eyes flashed with a hint of fear. Because the aura around Cang Yun was very strong, giving it a sense of danger and oppression.
However, spirit beast were spirit beast s after all. Their savage nature made it hard for them to retreat, especially when facing humans.
With a ‘whoosh’, the wolf wild spirit rushed over. Its mouth exposed a pair of sharp fangs, and its sharp claws spread out in the air like indestructible swords.
The spirit wolf’s power was not too strong, but its speed was extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning, it instantly appeared in front of Cang Yun.
However, Cang Yun’s expression remained calm, only when the sharp claws were about to land on his head did he slowly raise his palm, a dense force of Desolate Force surged out from his body and wrapped around the Qingfeng Sword, then he slashed out at the spirit wolf’s head!
The power of the Desolate Force was invisible and formless, thus Cang Yun’s strike did not look gorgeous at all, it was just like an ordinary sword.
However, the spirit wolf instantly sensed the danger and its hair stood on end. Terrified expressions appeared on its face, but it was already too late for it to change its direction in midair, so it could only block the Qingfeng Sword’s attack with its claws.
Clang!
A sound of metal clashing rang out, and then the spirit wolf was struck flying by the Qingfeng Sword, but Cang Yun remained motionless.
However, this was not the most crucial point.
After the spirit wolf fell to the ground, it instantly let out a terrified and painful scream. It felt that in the collision just now, an extremely strange power had entered its body, and this power seemed to be all-pervasive as it constantly devoured its life force.
The spirit wolf howled in pain, its eyes filled with fear. It had never encountered such a strange power before. It could not resist at all.
In just a few breaths’ time, the spirit wolf’s aura had become much weaker.
Cang Yun stood in the distance and watched quietly with a surprised expression on his face. The power he had used just now was the power of the Desolate Force, but the effect was shocking to him.
It had to be said that Cang Yun was only at the ninth stage of the Concealment Realm. In terms of cultivation, even if it was slightly higher than the Spirit Wolf in front of him, it was still not much higher, so it was impossible for him to completely lose the latter’s fighting strength in a single blow.
This could only prove that the power of the power of the Desolate Force was far beyond his expectations.
As expected of a power that was even more tyrannical than the pure yang power.
secretly praised in his heart. pure yang power was one of the strongest forces in the world, but Cang Yun had only reached the first stage, so he did not fully utilize the power of the power, but the power of the Desolate Force was different.
It was no wonder that the power of the Desolate Force was so powerful.
While Cang Yun was thinking, the spirit wolf was already growing weaker and weaker, the life force in its body was rapidly dissipating. Not long after, the originally upright and robust spirit wolf had turned into a dying wolf.
With the experiment completed, Cang Yun nodded his head in satisfaction, then walked over to the spirit wolf and ended its painful life.
Before the Spirit Wolf died, Cang Yun even saw the relief in its eyes. It seemed that in the Spirit Wolf’s eyes, killing it was better than being devoured by the power of desolation.
Such terrifying power!
This scene caused Cang Yun to feel even more terror of the power of desolation. He had personally experienced the pain of his life being taken away, even if he wanted to now, there was still lingering fear in his heart.
A ball of Nihility God Fragment gradually floated out from the Spirit Wolf’s corpse. Cang Yun refined it with familiarity, but the Void God’s power inside his body did not increase by much. After reaching the peak of the early stage, the number of Nihility God Fragment s needed was obviously too much.
Cang Yun reckoned that in order to reach the peak of the middle stage, one would have to at least hunt a hundred wild spirit of the ninth step. This number was truly a little terrifying, and what Cang Yun was more worried about was that from the peak of the mid stage to the late stage, it was probably not something that wild spirit could handle.
The task of condensing a Nihility God was a long and arduous one.
“Based on my current strength, killing a stage nine wild spirit is already a piece of cake. So I should condense the Nihility God to the peak of the intermediate stage as soon as possible.”
After his strength had been verified, Cang Yun also had a plan. To him, a hundred Stage Nine wild spirit s would only require him a short amount of time.
“However, we have to prepare for the future. We must search for the Class 9 Prehistoric spirit beast. Although I don’t know where they will appear, they must be somewhere deeper in the Ruins, so I will still need to continue my search!”
Cang Yun raised his head and looked at the deeper and deeper forest before him. His expression gradually became determined, and with a stretch of his body, he quickly disappeared into the forest.
