Chapter 870: Cultivating Amid Chaos
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Li Shou was pretty pissed about having been fooled by Lu Xuan. But he knew that being angry was pointless . He had to deal the beast in front of him before he could settle scores with Lu Xuan.
“Forget it, I’ll deal with this right now!”
The coldness in Li Shou’s eyes intensified. He knew that right at this moment, he had to defeat this creature before him. There was no other choice.
Or maybe it could end with them wearing each other out?
He had not thought of that. Although he could be considered as one of the lowest ranking within the Consolidation Realm, he was still better than this beast which had just attained a breakthrough.
After this battle, he should still have the energy to spare to deal with Lu Xuan. After all, this was merely the Three Flower Realm.
Even if he was not in his best condition, and had sustained severe injuries, he believed that he would absolutely still have the capacity to deal with this small fry from the Three Flower Realm.
In an instant, a seriously brutal battle erupted. This time, it was a battle at the Consolidation Realm.
The repercussions of the battle between the two reverberated from the unfathomable depth of the oceans to the surface – affecting a radius of more than two hundred miles.
At the same time, at the Spiritual Eye of the deep-sea snapping turtle clan, Lu Xuan had already broken through the barrier and snuck in unnoticed. As he did so, Lu Xuan also used the Chaos Heaven Stabilizer Bell to suppress the Spiritual Eye’s range of vision.
Even the effects of the collision between the two powerhouses at the Consolidation Realm: Li Shou and the deep-sea snapping turtle chief, in the distance could not affect Lu Xuan.
“Lady luck certainly is on my side! Their distraction shall be my opportunity!”
Lu Xuan chuckled. It just so happened that he could take advantage of this heated battle between Li Shou and the deep-sea snapping turtle chief to strive for a breakthrough.
As of now, he was in a profoundly ambiguous state where it felt as if he was about to achieve a breakthrough, yet not quite.
On earth, the Law of the Realm forbade him from attaining a breakthrough. It was simply too difficult should he wish to do so.
It was equivalent to tearing the barrier between heaven and earth apart to create a gap that would allow him to pass through.
Hence, he would better off coming to the Tempest Ocean Realm, as this world’s God Realm would not suppress his Cultivation Base.
Aside from that, there were cultivation resources. His three flowers had been cultivated in a way where they far exceeded that of ordinary people’s.
Because of this, in order to consolidate his three flowers and enter the Consolidation Realm in one piece, the cultivation resources he required would be immense – especially spiritual energy.
If he were to absorb ordinary spiritual energy, who knows how long it would take him to attain a breakthrough.
If he were to use spirit stones, the amount he would need would be astronomical.
It just so happened that he discovered a Spiritual Eye here that would save him tons of effort. After all, this place was secured by the deep-sea snapping-turtle clan for their leader to break into the Consolidation Realm. The amount of spiritual energy locked away by the barrier alone was worth at least a hundred years of accumulation for it to have arrived at a concentration where it was about to liquify.
The effect was comparable to using spirit stones. It may even be better.
Hence, he might as well utilize this time to achieve a breakthrough.
After attaining a breakthrough, neither Li Shou nor the deep-sea snapping turtle chief would be a problem for him.
He still had Li Shou to thank for helping him fend off that sticky situation.
After he figured it all out, a smile appeared on Lu Xuan’s face.
Subsequently, he sat cross-legged in the deep sea and began to cultivate spiritual energy.
Lu Xuan’s entire body exuded with a faint golden glow. Every pore on his skin opened to devour spiritual energy.
Spiritual energy had accumulated within the barrier for over a century. Thus, there was a tremendous amount of it. Even after the deep-sea snapping turtle chief had broken into the Consolidation Realm, it had only used up a tiny portion of its reservoir of energy. As for the remaining amount, the deep-sea snapping turtle chief’s original intention was to use it to strengthen its Cultivation Base upon breaking through.
And Lu Xuan got all of this with little to no effort!
Compared with the absorption speed of the deep-sea snapping turtle chief previously, Lu Xuan’s was a hundred times faster. The deep-sea snapping turtle chief absorbed only the liquefied spiritual energy in fear that it would burst through his flesh.
Lu Xuan, on the other hand, was a lot bolder. Liquefied spiritual energy was pouring into him, and his powers were skyrocketing.
The Taixu Origin Power was simply too powerful – so powerful that it was not strong only at its current stage, but formidable in every aspect.
Lu Xuan did not have to be as cautious as the deep-sea snapping turtle chief, because he had already built up all his foundations. Every improvement he made would enhance himself and solidify his foundation, meaning that these two aspects would complement each other.
Therefore, all he had to do right now was to devour the liquefied spiritual energy.
The powerful aura surrounding Lu Xuan’s body was constantly swelling, forming what looked like a massive cyclone in the air. Normally, if this were to happen, he would have already attracted the attention of all the monsters around the area.
But right now, the battle between Li Shou and the deep-sea snapping turtle chief had cause a great disruption. With all auras affected, nobody could notice him.
Coupled with the fact that the Chaos Heaven Stabilizer Bell had dampened all auras, it made it even less likely for anyone to be alerted to him. Attempting a breakthrough when two Consolidation Realms were battling nearby certainly was a very reckless move.
As time passed by, the battle between the two Consolidation Realms had grown white-hot. It was so heated that both sides had their eyes turning crimson red.
For the deep-sea snapping turtle chief, his opponent had wiped out his entire clan. Relying on his massive physic prowess, various terrifying Water Element magics, and melee combat ability, he was giving Li Shou a very hard time.
Although Li Shou was slightly more powerful than the deep-sea snapping turtle chief who had only just stepped into the Consolidation Realm, at the end of the day, the human body was still greatly inferior to that of creatures like the deep-sea snapping turtle.
Humans were strong in martial arts and spells, while monsters were strong because of their strong physique and innate magics. Both races had their own strengths.
But for Li Shou at this moment, he was in great trouble. Whenever he tried to flee, the deep-sea snapping turtle chief kept closing the distance. He was not giving Li Shou any chance to escape.
Every blow the deep-sea snapping turtle chief landed on him made him feel as if his bones were going to shatter.
Among human beings, apart from a few who possess special constitutions, if they were to compete head-to-head with a monster, death was inevitable.
Even though a human’s body would be greatly strengthened when they are inside the Consolidation Realm, this could still not compare to deep-sea monsters such as the deep-sea snapping turtle.
Back to the current situation.
Things were absolutely terrifying!
Pinned down by the deep-sea snapping turtle and unable to escape, Li Shou was finally forced to a point where he no longer intended to just shake things off.
Because he literally could not shake him off at all. With the entire deep-sea snapping turtle clan slaughtered, this deep-sea snapping turtle chief was infuriated to the core.
“You are courting death!” Li Shou shouted at this moment. He grasped his hands, grabbing a spear from within the ring of cosmos. The spear blazed with the color of flames like a fiery rod. Immediately, with thunderous momentum, it pierced through the deep-sea snapping turtle chief’s chest.
